Man, competitive mode is rough. I didn't realize how bad of a player I was until now. I'm still doing my placement matches but damn, I can already tell I need more practice. I pride myself as being a competent, good player with Mei and Reinhardt, but the Mei's and Rein's I saw in those matches were like horrifying, villainous, Lovecraft versions of me made only for the purpose of killing.

You will see really aggressive Reinhardt players. But they can make their team lose if they overextend and get killed.
Damn, 1 point below center, time to commit sudoku D :

I can't understand how people can be so dumb.
I'm not the most skilled player, but at least I understand the basics of the game. I just played a Ranked match. A D.Va that wouldn't use her thrusters. A Reaper that would not teleport to their backline. I used two ults as Lucio, and my teammates went back instead of pushing forward. Then on defense two of them pick Torb and plant their turrets behind the point we reached. So we were 4v6 and they had no problem surpasing us. It was so free for them.
Why is it so hard to read the rules of the game you're playing? How comes people level 70 don't know what the character they pick is meant for when playing Competitive mode?
I'm not salty because we lost, but because we didn't even play Overwatch. I don't know what these people think they are playing, but it certainly is not Overwatch.

At least you played full matches with full members.
Honestly, I'd rather get the lost because some random disconnected than endure the whole thing.

1st comp match: grouped into a super organised group, everyone played their part, I played my part with pharah and roadhog, turned out pretty awesome.
Let's see how we go from here.

That's how it started off for me, it's to get you thinking that maybe this won't be so bad, then BAM, Bastion mains and useless Hanzo's galore.

So I guess I won't be using any currency until the new skins come out.
I've been playing these arena shooters for so long that nothing really surprises me anymore, but I am honestly perplexed by Pharah players who go an entire round without using thrusters and flanking. That's basically what she's good for, her obvious, crafted role. Oh well. I'm sure I do some dumb shit that have others scratching their heads.

Well second round won, with double genji no less.
Also made me realise that genji mains are the most tryhard motherfuckers out there lmao. God some people make me nearly want to mute them if they weren't so hilarious.
Mercy and Pharah only, sounds as bad as it plays I should imagine
Played it once yesterday, was fun with the constant flying with Mercy lol But I don't see myself doing more than 1 other time.
Yeah. Probably a lot of team mates scratch their heads that I could not kill this or that guy. Well, I'm sorry, I lose focus so easily with all these bams and booms. I'm one eyed, I'd be blind now had my retine surgery not worked out a year and a half ago. I try my best to fullfil the role I'm supposed to play. I pick Tanks and Supports because there my eyesighht is less of a problem.
I guess we all have our shortcomings. I can't develop a better eyesight, just like some people can't develop a brain.
Edit: Is there any work on fixing Roadhog's grapple? Everytime I grab a Genji, the motherfucker goes flying to the left, like the chain is making some kind of physics swing that takes him to the opposite place he was in when I catched him. Not only him though. Stairs and scenery makes the thing pretty tricky sometimes.
I dunno. I've noticed that since the update it's more difficult to pin people with Reinhardt's charge - if I don't have them lined up dead center they seem to bounce away.
Edit: I've gotten three legendaries in a loot box twice. Coins, a skin, and an emote or intro or something, both times. I used some of those coins on Widowmaker's Huntress skin which is simply amazing.
If you spend 2 hours playing KotH without getting any ranks, it's stupid. And I'm not even talking about coin flip in other modes, it's unfair by default.

Also, yay, lockdown achieved playing hanamura.
Not too bad of a day.

Bear in mind competitive mode is self-selecting. People who are not good at Overwatch are less likely go in there.
Also, 10 matches isn't nearly a big enough sample size.

Also, they're all good. Riverboat McCree <3 <3 <3

You've never played a hero game before.
You mean Banana Man? No Thanks.

Ranked should have been level 50, 25 is far too low for most people to understand every hero and all the maps/modes properly.

Well it seems i hate ranked mode.

I disagree, I'm level 27 and I have a perfectly reasonable understanding of all the characters and modes (and probably have had such since I was level 17). True my skills lack the refinement of most level 50 players but that is what the lower ranks are for.

I hate that ranked doubles all match durations, it makes sense for payload maps to go twice so both teams get a chance to be attacking and defending but why do the koth maps need to be best of 5?

Doubling actually doesn't bother me, but it gets even worse than that sometimes. This is something I really hope they change for the next season. One of the appeals of Overwatch is the relatively quick matches. I'm happy for competitive matches to take longer, but we should be looking at the time commitment of 2-3 games, not 5-7.

Just means you have to steamroll on attack and all the other matches

Riverboat is the shit. I pulled a Gambler out of a random box, and I'm starting to come around to liking it about as much as Riverboat. He has all of these cool gold touches.
Question: for competitive, are the placement matches forced solo? Can you enter them with a group?

I'd rather see competitive matches run the way single matches are done in comps.
Hybrid/Payload/Double-CP: One attack, one defense, stopwatch mode.
King of the Hill: Unchanged. Possibly they could just change it to best of five rounds (not games), with rounds 4 and 5 being chosen at random from the 3 in the pool.

I wonder if it'll take too much resources to load all 3 maps in.
