Guess why we lost? Note that I only got to use Tanks/healers.

Oh god yeah competitive sure highlights how utterly terrible people can be. Wowzers. Had 3 great matches and then a total disaster team. Liking it though.

I just never charge in with people that do that. Just turns into a meat grinder. I'll stay back and heal everyone else, hoping that we can hold out 5 v 6. Lone wolves are on their own.
Reminds me of the the couple "need healing" from lone wolves when I am the sole healer.....

Yup. Better still, I'll just say screw it and switch to Torb and they'll still be shouting for heals. =p
I just got on and am trying to warm up in quick games before I go and do my placement matches. Boy love the fact this game decides it's smart to start a 5v6. Why the fuck would you start it, just wait. Oh but thats not the worst part, the 20 tick rate already pissed me off in my first game. I throw my land mine at someone and detonate it (the sound occurs) just to see no knockback, oh, i didn't do it on their screen, oh and add to that when I ressed it showed that my mine was still up and ready to detonate.
If I hear the sound of a mine exploding I expect it to explode, the same way when I click the button I expect the action, I don't like getting ported 2 second before I did it.
what a way to start souring my night blizzard
btw is the kill cam fucked for everyone?

So I had just enough time for one match, and decided to play my first placement match in competitive. Payload on Gibraltar - we did win in overtime. I played Reinhardt on offense and did okay - I blocked a lot of damage and pushed the cart a bunch! On defense I started with Junkrat and switched to Pharah because they had a Pharah, then I switched to Reinhardt because they had a Widow that was doing work. We almost held the final point, but I let myself get pinned and ultimated by the enemy Reinhardt, which let their Widow clean up the mess. On overtime I played Mercy - perhaps too aggressively (I don't play a lot of Mercy) in that I died a few times to a Reinhardt ultimate. But we did win.
Pros: Everybody seemed to take the game seriously. They played their roles, switched heroes appropriately, etc. Maybe I just got the good ones, but it was fun.
Cons: Salt. So much salt.

God damn people are fucking idiots. I don't understand how they're even competent enough to turn on their console.
They are even worse during the day.
Everyone else was Genji or Phara or some other kind of flanker that really weren't going to be of any help at all.

LMAO we had some idiot who refused our team comp and doesn't like double tank/healers. He starts talking shit and goes AFK deliberately; he threatened first. He refused to flank from the side with me when I sneaked behind the team an dused the group up message (I just needed a push after I distract their from behind). Then we report his ass and lose.
Fuck this game, fuck this community. I also have a screenshot of the amazing matchmaking (three prestige guys vs AFK team). BTW the guy that went AFK is (mentially) Disturbed.
Just an advice for people getting in competitive placement: Don't play solo.

First placement match I had POTG, four gold medals, 24 eliminations, and a total of 45% of all team damage done. Good start
Huh, usually this is folowed by "and we lost"
come on blizzard, i want my avoid player back, who cares if one guy had trouble with matchmaking, why do I have to suffer with terrible people because of it
placement is going to be every match lucio + mercy + 4 isnt it
Cause level is just time + some experience. It doesn't equate skill in the slightest.

Right? If someone has trouble getting into matches because of it then it's mostly likely their own fault. For the greater good I say.
Nope, we hammered them. We moved fast and hard, raining fire and death as we went. It was a surprisingly coherent team.
Then I played Brawl and had the funniest game I've had in awhile. I played Mercy and rode along with this Pharah, and while everyone was fucking around we capped both points without much of a fight.

Prolonging your lifespan is better than finding a crappy Overwatch match.

I'm not hoping for better players. I'm just hoping for a better rate of "players who care enough to stand on the damn objective" than before.

I'm getting worried I might be placed too highly over my skill level.
Currently 7/1 win/loss on placement...

I went up a full rank from this one game, so yeah the initial ranking does feel a bit wonky.

So much this. It's gonna turn into "Avoid This Game Mode" for me if competitive is teeming with incompetent morons, trolls, and generally toxic individuals. (It's too soon to say, but I have my doubts)
You played 12 matches?

Again really.
Even if you don't have peeps you know or a forum thing to find folks to play with, if you're that annoyed playing with pubs, why not just single out the ones you think are good and friend them in order to build a posse?

Sorry, 2-8.
I would rather play against 6 Meis than friend a random person I played with in Overwatch
Alright I'm done with ranked. I just had a KotH map where this guy would not stop playing Torbjorn despite continually dying and never having his turret up for more than a second. Yet, the guy justified it by saying he did "the most damage" and then when asked to stop he threw a fit and just keep killing himself all match out of spite.
I can't do this anymore. Blizzard needs a report for griefing because that's actively destroying my ability to enjoy the game when you're trying to be dead weight on purpose.

I'm not saying friend every random, but there's gotta be a few you've ran into that isn't complete shit? I refuse to believe that everyone are the only good players on all their teams.
It's pretty much how I do fighting games. Find players who I think are good and request an add. Some didn't respond, some did, fun times were had.

2-8 here as well and I've got 41.

Well it goes from 1-100
Best players on PC are in the high 60's, no one has spotted a 70+ skill rated player... Yet!
So getting to 40+ might be decent, if so
50+ good/great
60+ amazing
70+ God in human form at the moment
80-90+ Haxor/Skynet/AI in human form
100 Retire
They're not playing right now. That's why I gave up on ranked. And it's not that I think I'm the only good player, but when you're griefing in ranked just because your ego was hurt when you were asked to switch characters I'm done.
2-8 club! Lol, but it's nice to know I wasn't the only one dealing with some shit teams. Hopefully we can get a barometer chart for good, bad, average etc soon.
Makes sense. Seagull was in the 70s btw when I was watching his stream yesterday.
I have a group that I theoretically would be able to at least get a 5-man group going with but they all seem to have dropped this game in the past week. I was hoping they'd be back for ranked but I guess not.
I don't know why I believed them when they said that soloers wouldn't go up against full groups but yeah I guess that's happening. I'm mostly just pissed at getting losses on my card because of ragequitters.
Opposite experience here...I've only run into 'nobody will pick tanks or supports' groups in quick play once or twice recently. So far that's been half my competitive teams. I've been left staring at the character select trying to figure out a way to unfuck the situation I'm in and there's just no answer.
