Reinhardt is so satisfying to play as when everything just flows together.

Just had a string of shit games. I don't mind losing, but the worst thing is losing a game which you KNOW you could have won, if only people would listen and respond. Clear the entire objective area as Junkrat, watch as the rest of the team wanders around chasing other enemies instead of rushing together to capture the point? FML.
This was last night for me. I only had a brief window to play, so I didn't want to try to get a group going or anything like that.
It would've been one thing if it were just lopsided matches. But when we hold the first point of King's Row until Overtime, then lose it so the team can then march the payload the rest of the way without once being contested, what the fuck?
Every match was like that. Strong plays, good synergy, and then just putting our hands in the air for the last 3 minutes.
And a huge problem, whether it's pubs or groups, is hero-swapping. Specifically, people don't do it. It's even worse when someone is successful for a time because then there is no way they'll switch. Sure, your Symmetra was a killer while we needed a teleporter for the long spawn and they still had a Reinhardt they were grouping behind. But now their switch to Winston is nullifying your turrets and we are getting backed up to our spawn so we don't need the teleporter. I don't give a shit what medals you earned in the early game and are managing to hold onto... change your hero.
Like I said, it's not just pubs. People get really defensive about it.
I've avoided the more straightforward heroes so far, played some Soldier, Phara and Reaper today and the stats were ridiculous. There's so leeway with these heroes it doesn't matter if you play a little sloppy and the ultimates are basically win-buttons. Get behind enemy team and press Q for teamwipe.
It was fun for a few matches.

By taking a break from Overwatch yesterday (and not playing a single match for the first time since release), I went from the 68th percentile on Overbuff to the 77th.
Clearly the trick is to never try.
81st percentile with Genji/Widow, 91st with Junkrat, 77th with Zarya... 15th with Mercy. :S

Hanamura is so brutal. Either you can get stuck in the first gate for the whole match, or get speedboosted from A to B in 2 minutes. This map is extreme!

Man, I never see the first point held on Assault maps anymore. Almost ever. It's just about how long you can delay it. Second points, sure, they can be frustrating.
All Assault maps are like that. Either you rush to take both point A and B within minutes of the match starting, or you lose.
Same, I'm most excited for the control improvements by far.
The more Blizzard improves the aiming on console the less disparity there should be between balancing PC vs. Console. Obviously even perfectly tuned console controls will never be as accurate as a KB/M, but it can certainly get closer than how it is now.
That's really cool news but I find it odd that the announced Torb nerf seems to be omitted here.
Makes me wonder about how real this leak is...
Instructions unclear, beard caught in letter box.
You forgot never being able to capture point B for the defense team having the perfect team of well placed Torb's turret(s), Bastion, sniper, healer, etc.
The Torb nerf will come in another patch, scheduled for late July.

I think I've been soloing enough since ranked is coming up. Anyone want to add me on PC would be much appreciated.

Ah, that makes sense. I kinda find it weird that they just don't roll it into this patch but I guess they're still testing it.
That's almost what certainly happened. I don't know why I didn't think of that to be honest with you. It probably doesn't help that I just woke up.
This patch was likely submitted weeks ago and is just now getting certified on Xbox and PS. They have to do a new patch then submit it again, certification seems to take a few weeks.
Microsoft and Sony have a certification process that the patches have to go through. There's no way to know how long this upcoming patch has been suck in that process. Blizzard can't just roll the Torb nerf into this patch, because it would have to go through the process again.

I see it sometimes. Hanamura and Anubis are both pretty good for it, tho you need a good Symm for the former to stop people bumrushing around the flank.
I've had a bunch of Mumbani games end at point A too.

Disabling a feature that doesn't exist on console (avoid player) makes me suspicious of these patch notes

My favorite hero hands down with 34 hours clocked on him. He isn't the flashiest, but he gets the job done.

I wish I could properly express the feeling of despair but bland acceptance I felt when my teammate wrote "I think I'm going to try Hanzo this game." And I was already locked in as Tank.
Well. I guess I'm going to lose this one, but if I leave I'll probably just be in the same boat. There is no escape. Maybe we'll get lucky or I can pull a win out of nowhere. Maybe that guy playing Genji is insane.

Point is moot as we won't be seeing Mei in competitive anyways.

I watched a Reinhardt tackle someone off the map and then a Roadhog hooked them back up.
That's it. I'm becoming a Mei main.
Reinhardt will have his normal attire with a few key pieces of armor removed

i can see it
now i feel like going back to mei again. i've just been stuck on Roadhog and junkrat.
Ugh, feel awful about the last game I played on King's Row. Wasn't doing too well as Mei, decided to change to a Widowmaker to take out the annoying Bastion, somehow we managed to get the payload going in Overtime, then I kinda turned into a braindead douche and forgot to change to another character and was useless for the rest of the game until we lost. /

junkrat is good stuff between checkpoints because it's so narrow but sometimes you look at the soldier on your team and not take out pharah because she's constantly shooting rockets your way. lol then i don't know why i keep wasting my bomb trying to hit her. one day i'll blast myself up there and just throw it at face level.
Sometimes you gotta just go back to dragging the team down. The call is just too strong.
Yesterday I activated my ultimate with 76 and a Mei on my team immediately put up an ice wall in front of me. Grrr.
This is a good point too, I've seen both sides. When I see our sniper rack up a few kills in quick succession, I'll usually rush out and spam to get on the objective.
I know this exact feeling. Cursing myself for not switching soon enough, haha. Close losses are the worst.
Don't be so sure about that. Pro matches are one thing, but there is plenty of room for Mei to dominate in competitive mode!
When I play as Mei I never do this, but I did rage at another player for doing the same thing that happened to you. I really hope I've never done this as Mei.
Just curious but are those leaked patch notes almost word for word the same as the recent PC patch?
It really does seem strange that they would need Widow on console since she is at most only decently useful right now and at best very effective in 5% of the games I've played. Seems fishy to me too.

Why wouldn't Mei be in competitive? Did I miss something?

Man, apparently I ain't too bad as widow. Switched to it because of a goddamn pharmercy combo. Went 21-5 which might not sound impressive but I'm a fucking terrible sniper, so there's that.
Had to switch out to rein to stop the final push, but I'm glad I wasn't useless as widow.

Banana Hammock Junkrat PLS.
Also I love shouting at Mei players who Ice Wall after I go Whole Hog, when I told them I had ult up...
It's beginning to happen to me...Im beginning to get emotionally invested in this game and I dont like it.
Yesterday I was running with the gaf crew and we were getting wrecked for almost 10 games straight. Had to go to sleep thinking about how shit we played and what I could have done better to help the team. Gonna go hard on OW once I get back from work.

Yeah it happens. I just try to remind myself to take my time on respawn to try to figure out why I died and if I can make a good switch
