I usually try to get at least four. 5 - 6 is maximum fun. 4 is really fun. 3 is enjoyable though somewhat hit or miss. Group of 2 or alone is awful.
For console the issue is apparently turn speed which makes sense. Torb's turrets are insta-lock and a control stick does not let you turn/aim quickly enough to take it down.

I managed to get another Legendary card today, which is crazy considering I've only ever seen three of them.

Didn't disconnect but I thought I might for a sec last match.
Also, got a card for 25% resurrections of deaths on a payload mission. Not sure if that's a good thing...
Wait, I'm going to sound like a really lame noob for saying this but... you can vote on player cards on the other team? I always only vote for a teammate because I thought that's how it works. The way the numbers usually tally I've never seen a player card get more than 6 votes... >_<
Yes, people usually don't vote for the person that kept killing them
Like I'd never vote for an enemy widow I think. Fuck widows.

Yup. It's a nice touch, and feels great when even the other team acknowledges you did a good job. =)

Argh, fuck this, hopefully blizzard sorts out the servers issue soon because playing in 200 ping is not fun.
They either need to scale up their servers in australia or at least let us queue into them.

I always do. It seems odd not to "reward" (or at least recognize) when someone did good. It's weird when people vote along team lines exclusively. It feels like they don't get it.
Yup, if I get shutdown hard by an enemy player I'll happily credit them with a vote or in chat. I think it's even weirder to vote for yourself though since the system isn't really voting but giving the thumbs up to someone ...
This happens with every game on GAF. You have the flavour-of-the-month players who move on to the next game within the first few months and then you have the players looking for their next addiction who will keep playing for years. I had like 40 people from GAF added for BF4, but only about 6 of those actually played after a few months.

Pretty much this. A lot of folks here are nomadic in what they play. It'll be interesting to see whose still posting regularly here come Christmas.
Yep this has happened on PS4. I mostly just play this with US gaffers now but that means I have to play during night and my ping is probably like 200-250. I don't even remember the last time I got a full group of just EU players.
On occasion I'll vote for an opponent, but I did say widow.
I read your post as if you would vote for others lol
Never been tempted to vote for a widow myself (my MMR is too low for good ones to grace us :| )

I always feel bad when I join a friends game and everyone in the game other than me (i'm at 63) is at 10 and they just stomp me (i play zenyatta almost exclusively)

Yikes, lotta shoddy games on PTR tonight. Pulled a team from certain defeat with Zarya and then with Junkrat, not enough to win the tiebreaker though. Then on another game, the team basically gave up 75% through the 1st map and our healer swapped off. I probably shoulda just messed around instead of going Lucio it was clear nobody was trying 
At the very least I'll probably stop caring about my competitive rank and just start having fun, but man, these guys get salty over their non-final comp rankings :|
Oh we're in community now

I wouldn't either, which is why I was so surprised when everyone voted for me. If I'm going to vote for someone on the other team it's usually going to be a tank or support.

Is there a way to know which character I've got more XP with on average?
Should be added this week.
Been kicking ass with Mercy ever since I got Valkyrie. That DPS boost can be crazy if used on the right characters. If there's a Pharah on my team I keep a close eye on him and fly whenever she does. Offensive assists ftw.

Fair. I would struggle to vote for a Widow...
I'm rather glad that Torb is getting a nerf on consoles.
Really tired of having to play counters all the time when I play solo especially against stacked Torbs, so maybe people will stop spamming that shit now. He may not be an issue on PC, but he definitely is on consoles.
I don't really have the luxury to wait for my friends to get on and play with them all the time these days. Sometimes, I just want to play a few matches and unwind a bit, which has been good lately because I'm getting a lot more people that seem to know what they are doing or actually pick tank or support from the start.

Reaper is OP in part because of the McCree nerf.
Wow that is crazy. Judging by most of my games, I would have thought that you would have got 5 or 6 votes and that the enemy Mercy would have also got 5 or 6.
All OTs are moved a month after release.
What it really does is give someone 30% more time to target it and at least get some hits in, if not race it to zero.
So what is the problem with it on consoles? Just more difficult for players to get a bead on it and engage with a controller? The lack of good communication with so many players not having mics? A little column A, lil' column B.
It is where threads go to die.

Do any people here ever form groups and chat together when playing? I've only played with randoms so far, and nobody ever talks. It'd be nice to be able to have some banter and a good laugh while playing.
Not Destiny GAF. That thread is still more active than most OT's in the main forums.

Music to my ears.
Really looking forward to that nerf on console now.

If competitive won't be available on PS4 at the same time as PC I think I'll stop playing. I thought with Overwatch Blizzard has it's big console release and will support all platforms, that's why I bought it on PS4 (since I don't have a PC), learned how to play with different heroes, became pretty good with some of them and was very enthusiastic about competitive mode.
But seeing how the only thing we know about console is Torb nerf which will be available God knows when... Why don't they tell us about McCree and Widow? Or anything else besides Torb? Why even bother to release this game on consoles...
If PS4 will receive competitive "at a later date", I'll probably just watch Seagull streams and stop playing on PS4. I love this game to pieces but Blizzard's support is very bad at this point.

Nerf 30% damage on the Turret...
I would rather take reduction in radius and auto-lock delay of say 2 seconds than that
KOTH Torb was a fun pick
I almost became semi-support by throwing out so many armor packs
Also it kept those Tracers and Lucio wall riders who just prolonged capping at bay
Now watch people ask for Tracer nerfs because at least the Turrets kept her at bay, away from right out flanking
This game is just getting butchered for the wrong reasons
Im guessing Overwatch a year from now for console will differ by a whole lot from PC
Where everything is nerfed beyond existence:
Tracer can use her blink once every 3 seconds, so delay
Reaper loses one shotgun
Pharah jet pack overheats and causes damage to herself if she stays up to long, -25 health pee tick
Roadhog hook reach decreased by 50%
Zenyatta health now 100
Mercy Ult rate decreased 40%
Reinhardt shield can be destroyed faster if 3+ players shoot at the same time, more hits from enemy at higher count, burn rate of shield increases to a 4x multiplier
Winston jumping nerfed by 50%
Zarya bubbles convert only 25% of damage
Soldier76 loses sprint ability, replaced by "Skipping", can move forward faster by skipping but only 5 meters every 5 seconds
etc.

Yeah. Getting a Legendary vote as a Lucio for healing is nice. Although most of the time whenever there's only 1 Red card I notice their team all vote for that one card.

it was meant to happen, when you nerf a hero the balance shifts and now it will be always changing

Torb will still be an effective tool, just not the killing machine it is at the moment
