We have been talking about it tho
I had an irritating fps problem last night on Anubis. I had been playing off and on all afternoon at 60fps but then got invited to a group with 2 other people and one spectator. All of a sudden I am bouncing between 25 and 60 fps and the game became quite unplayable at that point because it was bouncing so quickly.
I didn't have any other programs active and that's the first and only time I have ever had Overwatch do that to me. I decided it was a sign that I was done for the night so hopefully things will be better tonight.
Anyone else had framerate issues since the patch?
Find videos on youtube like "genji glitch crash server". I won't post links, this is not allowed probably.
Same with turrets. You can teleport from spawn as Reaper to a little hole, change character to Bastion or Torb and shoot through wall all day.

Yeah I've seen some huge numbers in five rounds of KoTH. They didn't look right from the start.
it's supposed to indicate that you're top 500 ranked but it's bugged right now
i'm seeing it too and there's no way i'm that good
Thanks, I'll look it up. I thought they fixed that Reaper thing as well but I guess not. Hope they patch these quick.

Welp, played with all randoms in ranked and I lost all but one, played with a group of 3 and won all.
I think I'll stick to groups in rank and if I can't get a group I'll just play around in quick match. Gotta have a place to practice widow.
Rank can be intense though, but it also takes forever in a match.

You see thats the problem. Most all the hanzos that I got teamed up with always play snipers, never spammed sonic arrows, they never backed reinhardt, they don't cap/contest points and move payload. They playing terrible hanzos is good as playing a 5 vs 6 team, I have too many losses due to terrible hanzo teammates, because they don't provide enough offense and defense, and strangely enough I do win matches without a hanzo teammate or the enemy have a hanzo on their side. If they want to play snipers they should have picked widowmaker instead.
The only time I ever won a match with a Hanzo was in King's Row ranked, now that was good Hanzo player, he stayed behind reinhardt's shield, spamming sonic arrows, shooting scatter arrows at high priority targets, very upclose and aggressive.

Cool thanks. I'm definitely not top 500 either lol.
Don't you get kicked within 30 seconds of not doing anything or something like that? That means he was actively griefing to avoid being booted. I'd just report him for griefing in that case
Yeah he must have done that. I suspected it when he was afk for 20 minutes but left as soon as we lost.
Took it to 8 rounds with 5 even
A kick system like CS would be great, where you need a certain amount of votes to kick someone
It's fixed
Great new interview about Competitive Play

Yep, fuck Genji.Winston v Genji
Yeah im thinking there is some decent weight there though for kda. Medals make some sense to me too. In general tho it's hard for me to wrap my mind around an mmr system that is not revolving around w/l, but i play mobas so. The gap between rank 55 and 61 seems meaningful so im just trying to sus it out.

Yes the game immediately warns you if you stay stationary. Griefers move subtly to avoid that; we had a bitch that pulled that move before. A worse case was a Soldier-76 shooting walls and feeding the other team ult charges.
That aside, this is my latest competitive match with Lucio. We had a tough cookie in a Widow that was convinced to switch later on. We smashed the other team and they started rage quitting. I lost a silly sudden death match before that and lost 75% of a point, and now watch how much I gain in the second pic.
It doesn't matter. I got gold medals and at least three medals in each of my proper competitive placement matches. I ended up with a really low rank because of three botched matches. I have a +55% winrate in quick play when I screw around, so I don't get how this translated into the lower 1% of ranked (I actually know). People at this level are so bad, it is not even funny.

Also rein is so much more fun to play in ranked because most of the time you actually have a group that's willing to push with you!
I feel like Winston's M2 in ult should let him grab two enemies and phsyically move them. Like just grab Roadhog and Reinhardt from the point jump away and dump them off somewhere and jump back onto the point. Or just grab Mercy and jump off the ledge with her. Heroes never die my gorilla ass
Yeah im just trying to figure out reasons why 8-2 in placements can = 55 while 7-3 = 61, where most of the games here were duoed together, and where 61 is supposes to be top 3% while 55 is like top 15% (pretty big difference). I know the system isnt perfect and is kinda experimental tho

Fuck rage quitters, and fuck ranked. This is unfair and stupid. It doesn't make sense to have such a fucked ranking and leveling system. Why am I always getting the worst of it?
Yep. Reinhardt can get really aggressive and doesn't have to babysit everyone. He is amazing at distracting people and letting flankers from the sides.
Solo que quick play doesn't give Reinhardt his justice; you will only see overly defensive ones and suicidal charge ones.

I feel like it should be tweaked somehow, but sadly it's hard to see him getting a buff due to him being so integral to esports teams as is.

People quitting after the first objective has been taken is annoying because like you said, you get almost no rank points and you feel like you've wasted your time.
PSA for stat tracking on PS4: Did a little digging, and I guess the tracking sites will not be able to update your stats until the patch drops.

why aren't u on my friendslist goddamnit
Doesn't make sense with the character concept. He's a sniper/healer, so being squishy makes sense. If you give him 300 health, are you going to nerf the damage and discord debuff as well? If you do then he's even more useless. If you don't then he's too OP.
300's too high. Just bump him up to 200 esp since he no self healing on his base HP like Mercy and Lucio do.
I saw a Reddit post giving ideas on how to change Zenyatta, and someone suggested a "balanced state" mechanic in which he gets a health/resistance buff if he has both orbs out.
Quite liked that idea. It would motivate Zenyatta players to stay active in their role, and it's on theme with the character.
You can also completely scrap Zen's M2 because it's only useful in the most rare of occasions. Headshots will almost always do a better job and I'd rather have something else for his M2
In World of Warcraft, the monk class has an ability called Transcendence(ironically enough) where they place a ghost copy of themselves and whenever they activate the ability, it teleports them back to their ghost copy with a small cooldown.
That's what I would give Zenyatta

As a Mercy player what's annoying is when one person is far from the group spamming that they need heals. It happens all the time. Can't heal everyone all the time. More people should realize that.
I've got the same feeling but for a different reason. Coming off of destiny when I could play for an hour or 2 and feel like I made some progress even playing multiplayer only, to this where I can sink time into game after game to get a level which takes a really long time, only to be rewarded with a couple of crappy sprays. Kills it for me.
So basically 99% of matches on any console MP? lol
Are you playing with groups? Most of my games in group play have been competitive back and forth matches.
Not my experience on PC at all. We had a bunch of games today which were really close. We steamrolled some matches. Got steamrolled in some matches. But that stuff happens. The close games are the most fun, even if losing can feel REALLY bitter at that last moment when it could have gone either way.
Do you play with randoms exclusively or do you play with friends too?
Comparing this to a loot grinder quasi-FPSRPG like Destiny is weird. This game has no character levels or equipment, it's all cosmetic. You shouldn't be playing this for the carrot of upgrades or anything. You should be playing it because it's really fun. Are you not having fun? Do you really need some sort of artificial progression dangling in front of you to feel a sense of achievement? Do you not feel that as you play the game and try different characters you learn and get better at the game?

Does anyone feel Zenyatta needs to be reworked? The more I play him the more Im wondering why I am not just playing with Mercy or Lucio. Seems to be that if you want to support, your better off with those 2 in pretty much every situation.
Loving the competitive mode on the One, but unless they quickly come up with a solution to not handicapping remaining players when idiots leave after one round, I'll probably just stick with quick play. Out of my 5 losses today, I finished 3 of them with 3 or fewer players. I have never won a game because the other team was short handed. Not my cup of tea if this doesn't change.
I'm thinking Symmetra is not so great for competitive. I have a near 80 win rate with her in quick play because teams are just disorganized but when people are coordinating ults and flanking, Symmetra crumbles. Couldn't even keep up a teleporter in Numbani because this Tracer was running around unchallenged behind the first point.
Not Spaceghost

He's like a hanzo that can heal honestly, the only thing that needs to change is he needs some serious mobility buffs.
Either make his default runspeed faster or make his right click something else.
Friends sometimes, but mostly randoms. It's just pure luck of the draw which side you're on, but it's very rarely balanced. Maybe once or twice a day over the course of several hours.
