Nothing is more fun than ice walling in front of your team when Zarya uses her alt. You can taste the frustration of a wasted ult.

You could just pop the wall up at their feet and then they can escape

 

[divisionbyzorro]

Last night I popped a Soldier ult while inside the enemy's Graviton Surge and got a triple kill. That was pretty cool.

Spoiler

Also probably not the most efficient use of a Soldier ult, but watcha gonna do?

 

[mehrmantrout]

i've finally clicked with CoD guy, rip the stats on overbuff etc as I've been averaging a massive KD the last few days

 

[yeehamuffins]

Nice! You wouldn't happen to know how many KotH / Payload maps you played, would you?

I think just 1 was. Lost that one (it was the match where I started getting super bad lag, and my Junkrat was just bouncing all over the place as I desperately fought the controls.)

EDIT: Oh, you asked KotH and Payload. The one I mentioned above was KotH. I think about 3 of them were Payload. Maybe 4, can't remember.

 

[BKSmash]

Woah, competitive mode is INTENSE! The rage in me is real.

 

[spongebob340]

Quick question!

Since the new patch, everytime i start the game it changes the refresh rate to 50 HZ! Anobdy else got that problem?

 

[Vitanimus]

What was your W/L? I got 50 with a 7/3, so I'm wondering how or if it scales with W/L ratio as a base, then adds personal efforts / team contribution to the MMR calibration.

I got 5/5 but I guess I musta played poorly in the first few matches.

 

[nOoblet16]

Seagull's team just got owned in KoTH two rounds in a row against a double zarya, double lucio, reaper and 76 team.
Now they are mirroring with 2 Zarya, 76, 1 reaper and 2 healers (Mercy/Lucio) in theirs.

Edit: Lost the 3rd too.

 

[NeoRaider]

Anyone else noticed this wall:

I am sure that it wasn't there before the patch. lol

 

[eek5]

I am curious to see if there's an upper limit to calibration, like if someone could theoretically calibrate at 70 or if it's capped to say 58.

Theres some starting point based on your quickplay mmr. People have placed as low as 27 and as high as 77 afaik.

I'm sorry but, what wall are you refering to? lol

which wall? There are lots of walls

 

[Sleight of Jam]

So I downloaded the latest patch for Xbox one a minute ago and now I can't connect at all. Keep getting "lost connection to game server (LC-202)".

Anyone have any ideas?

OH SHI-

Yeah, I'm assuming mine was just 50 and not higher cause I just barely got to level 25 and stopped playing before competitive. Some people are getting 56-58.

I just find MMR and how different companies do it interesting. I love me some stats, which is why OW is so addicting. Those end game screens make me feel funny~

I'm sorry but, what wall are you refering to? lol

The right side, I'm pretty sure that little side area used to be open cause I'd lob bombs in there as Zarya / Junkrat.

Is that on console or PC? I didn't notice it the last time I was on that map.

 

[mbpm1]

Stealth buffs to walls?

 

[NeoRaider]

Stealth buffs to walls?

Lmao, exactly. Because enemy team is coming from that and other side. But they added wall only on that one side, i guess it was open too much.

 

[optimus8936]

Iirc that wall has always been there.

 

[TurboLibre]

Anyone else noticed this wall:

That has always been there. Maybe they made it taller? I'll need to see it for myself, I main Junkrat on that stage and that wall has always been something I needed to work around.

That's always been there IIRC, it's on one side but on the other.

No guys it wasn't.

Damn, lucky Xbox One owners -- have fun tonight!

Hopefully PS4 follows soon, if not tomorrow before the weekend.

 

[More Fun To Compute]

Matchmaking now thinks that I'm so bad that it puts me against level 3 and 10 players. Rolled them with bastion I have no shame.

 

[Canucked]

I am ready for a long weekend of Overwatch. If the thunderstorms here get all up in my grill I will cry.

There's still a little wall there. So it looks like they made it way taller.

 

[Rocketz]

I'm having games of my life in competitive but playing solo queue I'm 0-2 so far in my placement matches. Great.

My best match ever is the first of the day in it and we still lost.

 

[mbpm1]

I already hated that map

/sigh

 

[robertlebrone]

man placement matches are so tough. 1 win and 4 losses. :/ keep asking people to communicate and given a cold reception. sucks to get stomped so bad!

I did alright in my placement matches and there was one game/10 where there were people on the mic. The "My Ult is ready", "Group up", "Understood" commands were more than adequate. I mean that's what most people say over the mic anyways.

I would say my Ult was ready as Zarya then get a my Ult is ready from a Mcree/Pharah or whatever and I would reply understood. With that were we able to coordinate ults pretty easily.

Would it be better if more people talked? Sure. But I think also people get so caught up on people talking or not talking they lose focus on the game. If people aren't talking, use the built in commands and just focus on what you can do to help instead of what the other guy isn't doing. Just my two cents.

 

[Gurrry]

Mercy is a practically must have to get wins in ranked. Same with Pharra. Because people actually play the point, her ulti is devestating.

 

[NeoRaider]

No, there wasn't any wall there. It was totally open, i remember it very well.

What you see is in the background.

 

[mbpm1]

I'm glad when people who have mics tell us when there's people behind us or if they found a teleporter or bastion.

 

[Dead Prince]

That's the other side
The wall is behind you which is what the picture posted earlier. Look at the two door room placement

[M.J. Doja]

Been switching up my approach with Junkrat. Sneaky vantage points like a long distance flanker. Set up traps to alert to any visitors and stickyjump away if the heat gets crazy. Feels like I've been useless just trying to break through shield after shield of the front lines.

Ummm, embarrassing. lol
But it looked larger and different to me. :/

I'll load it up on PS4 later and take some screenshots

Where are you watching this? Can you link please?

It's okay. I thought that the map woild be mirrored so both side would be the same

[Zemm]

Won't the console competitive have the same KoTh bug?

 

[LiK]

Can they patch Route 66 so it doesn't exist?

Gonna put an unpopular opinion out there


I hate Mercy's imp skin and I'm surprised how often I see it.

 

[Frostburn]

Yup you are looking at two different sides of the center room, wall is close to the area you can walk in and drop down into on both sides, other sides are open and lead up to another way around the center pit.

 

[optimus8936]

Lol you're looking at the opposite side of the map from where you took the picture.
