Breaking the brotherly bond of Zenhardt because the guy got too hungry for glory with a suicidal charge is the ultimate betrayal.
Jokes on him, gold on kills for Lucio just means he was tagging them for like 5 damage, it's so easy to do and means nothing. That he wasn't even the highest healer means way more.

Decide to try solo queue. First two games are KotH, and go five rounds each. Blizzard...
Like I don't get why Mercy gets an on screen prompt for who she's healing but Zenyatta can't get a HP tracker for who has his Discorb Orb and who has his Zen Sphere so you can spread the heals around without having to snap up to look at Pharah to see if she's full then snap back down to throw a heal elsewhere
Except you're a puddle on the ground at that point

If he was the only healer, it's probably a given he got gold.
To be fair we don't know he wasn't the highest healer. Could have not mentioned it because 9/10 times it's a given.
And Lucio is pretty good damage wise, I have got heaps of kills with him that are more significant than just tagging them for 5 damage (His shots to 16 damage each anyway
) not to mention bouncing people off the map.RandomExpletive

Competitive play has really done a number on the community. Now I get shit talkers every single game, both in Ranked and Quick.

Eight of my 15 competitive games have now been KotH.
You jinxed it. Twice.
I was getting that long before competitive play. Like every other match.
Oh man, bring da shirtless, shoeless, ...flying? Terminator back!!!1!2
In all seriousness, they should allow him to put more than one harmony orb out or increase the potency on it. Discord orb is great, but in too many team comps, it isn't worth picking Zenyatta over Mercy/Lucio.

Gotcha.
Anyone wanna play? GT: Feel the Swift. Quick Match or placement matches is fine with me.

Seems that way. I'm just about ready to quit because playing with randoms is a waste of time. Nobody is ever near the objective.

Ranked is going stupidly well for me. Placement was 7-3 and landed at 56. Been playing since then and just hit 61 and still haven't lost a single game. I'm totally out of my depth, everyone else at this level is way better than me. I'm just getting carried hard by playing support, and I'm not even doing it well.
I don't have any issues with his weapons. I'd rather make his healing orbs/discorb orbs instant instead. I hate that delay and animation for something that does such weak healing.

Yep; very nerve wrecking. You don't know when someone will rage quit and make your 20 minutes go to waste.

McCree is real marmite for me. I'll either play really well with him or have a stinker. I can't get that Ult of his working very well either now, people have totally wised up to his tricks.
I'm done with Zenyatta in comp play. Twice I switched from him to Lucio and we turned the match. He just doesn't cut it as a healer and as resilient and mobile as a porcelain statue.

Outside of just buffing his health pool.
What if Zenyetta's orbs gave off a small aoe of heals/debuff to the rest around that orb. Healing Orb could still heal the person under it alot, but the aoe would be a bit less. For the purple orb, just make it very minor like 5-10 percent debuff on its aeo, just so it not too strong. I think at least his healing orbs should do aoe.
What do you guys think, I think this would for sure make him an overall better healer.

Alright I prematurely commented. Went 7-3 in placements. Came back from being down 2-0 to win 3-2 in the last one so that was awesome.
48 ranking.
What the fuck?

He still dies too quickly with no means to escape.
Yea he's great with Symmetra and torb on defense.

Give him a speed boost when both orbs aren't deployed. He's so squishy and the only support with no mobility options.

That why you buff his health by maybe 50, and turn his nonshield health into armor. I mean he is a machine, why its not armor is beyond me.
So 100 shield / 100 armor. He would be quite tanky for a healing support, without any escape mechanic like Mercy or Lucio has.

Joined an attack game on Hollywood with 2 minutes left.
My team had one Widow and TWO Hanzos.
Got the gold medal with only two kills.
People is really bad at this game.

Let them have their fun. It's Quickplay.

Yeah I've got quite a few (proper) kills with him and he can put out some damage but the gold elims with him is always very misleading and people shouldn't put so much stock in it, especially when they look at their damage done and they don't have any medal.
Also King of the Hill games give hardly any rank points, because it's bugged.
Quick placement games update. Got another 3 wins today. Current score is 6-0.
Got to play on Numbani, Route 66 and Hollywood. Numbani was the closest one. Stopped the enemy payload a couple of meters before the finish line, while we managed to reach the final point. On Route 66 we held the enemy team off the 2nd checkpoint and we had such a good defense on Hollywood, they couldn't even take the first point to get the payload to move lol.Somehow the website didn't register me playing with Reinhardt, during the whole attack phase, in Numbani and Bastion at the end of Numbani defense. Hoping to get that rank 50.

I appreciate the insight guys.
I'll try and ignore it from now but it's just been a while since stuff like that has got under my skin. Hopefully I can find a level headed group of folks that don't feel the need to berate someone for not being up to their standard of playing when there are so many ridiculously good players out there with way more time in the game. It'd be awesome to avoid that toxicity in the game. Too old for that shit.
Your saying that as if it isn't going to happen in competitive eventually
but I agree tho

Wow. Quick play is a shithole. I used to complain about people not responding to chat or not using it at all. Now everyone is using it to talk shit after match and enforce people to report someone innocent (a McCree player on our team). I don't know what the heck did that guy do to them, but someone told him to suck somewhere else and that this isn't league (of legends).
I asked them what happened and they started talking shit and telling me to shut up because I am a noob and I lost, even though they barely won and I dominated them with Reinhardt. We had a bad match against our average team where they got the payload in front of our spawn in hollywood. I picked Reinhardt and played as serious as I can and we won after 4 minutes of payload in front of our spawn (got to overtime too). We were very respectful and commended them for a good game.
I don't know why such people are allowed to exist in modern society. Those idiots shouldn't be allowed to use social networks and any form of multimedia that allows interactions and competition between people. Such narcissistic fucks.

My first day on competitive has been horrible all around and made realize that it also makes no sense at all.
Skill is not involved or rewarded if the only means of advancing is by winning. This isn't a team-exclusive mode where you can say "that team is better than the other one", everyone can play it solo, so what's the point of an individual "skill level" if it's just a winrate score? It makes no sense. The amount of "competitive exp" also makes no sense with KotH maps being worthless, the flipping coin sudden death being a death sentence for the attacking team, the rampant toxicity (I've seen more in 1 day than in the whole quick game+beta) of people constantly arguing and insulting each other, the leavers, and so on.
Is it that hard to implement a real skill level? Like the one they're using for quick game MMR? I seriously can't see any positive in playing competitive over quick game. It's a worse experience in every aspect. And, as I've said before, the "rewards" are terrible so there's not even that incentive.

How are they having fun going 0-10 and having to run back from spawn over and over? Like I see people say this all the time but if you're getting destroyed then how's that fun.

Right now, the issues with competitive:
1-KoTH bug.
2-Quitters and rank sabotaging.
3-Solo que is poop.
4-A lot of people are reporting a bias in the ranking system where it favors non-healers; they are reporting cards and gold medals, but lower ranks than their group members.
I'm having NBA Finals flashbacks.

Was finally gonna win a non-KotH game. Disconnected for the first time since the full game launched.
Oh boy.
Oh boy.
The system is flawed right from the start. What's the point of the skill level if skill is not involved? Losing doesn't mean that you're not skilled in this game.
And you're calling it "bug", but did they actually address the issue as a "bug"?

I'm currently 2-2 in my placement matches, but I've gotten 3 PoTG so far.
I'm proud. Tracer carries are real.
