I hate when you win three games in a row and you are kicked out of your team and find a new team, surprise, surprise, full of retards.

Like, why should I be punished with people that go on attack and pick two bastions and two widows just because my team is playing like a fucking team?

PC Problem

Does anyone else have an issue where after you close out of the game, it still says "Playing Now"? And so you can't even start the game up again.

I literally have to shut down my pc and restart if I want to play the game again. It doesn't even show as running in my processes so I can end it that way. Closing battle.net doesn't do anything either...

 

[Son Of D]

That feeling when a Roadhogg hooks you into the pit in Ilios, but you're Lucio and are able to wall jump around and back onto ground.

I always end up as a tank. T-T
I just want to be McCree trash with my legendary skin drop.

 

[MajorMane]

Played a few public matches and was quickly reminded why I always try to play with at least one other person. People don't hop on the objective (even at higher play time levels) and they don't respond to any sort of attempts at communicating to win. Can be super frustrating.

does anyone else find Torbjörn only ever good in the beginning of the match? it becomes hard to justify playing as him in the mid game when you can't get a chance to upgrade a turret

Personally, I think Toblerone is good the entire match (certain maps not withstanding), but you can't play him the same way at all parts of the map. At the beginning, it's easy to set up a turret, upgrade it, and try to hold out. But if the enemy team pushes beyond that, you don't have time to upgrade the turret. Instead, there's often many times where it's more beneficial to drop a level 1 turret down and then use your own gun to take down enemies. His gun is really good and his ability to give armor can be crucial, so don't forget to use that.

There are probably better heroes to switch to after the first part of the map, but a good Toblerone player can use him throughout the entire match.

Widowmaker is completely dominating on PC atm, it's so bad that the only reliable counter is another widowmaker, not Reaper or Genji or Tracer since the good ones move so much and stay around healers and healthpacks a lot.

Yeah, I wouldn't mind her getting a nerf to HP. She should always die to a Roadhog if he's able to hook her, but I feel like it takes more than 1 shot currently.

I think I had to close bnet and also manually shut down a process called agent or something. I forget the details so look it up before diving into your task manager.

 

[RefigeKru]

Just checked my stats before hopping on - dat 57.7% win rate.

 

[NeoRaider]

Here are mine stats:

Yeah i really don't play as Support or Tank. :/
And Pharah wasn't one of my favorites at first but i really like her now. She is amazing.

One thing I'm starting to notice through games being played, a lot of the pubs are complacent

I mean Holy Fuck you have this enormous map with zones structured in, yet you will go to the same primary position for a said class

Like Watchtower Gibraltar

Widowmaker will always be on that bridge sniping from the room across looking at the high point for AttacK
Torb putting Turrets in the exact same place

Change up the monotony

 

[Xeteh]

By God she's smiling. She's killing them all and she's smiling.

I certainly was!

 

[Vildiil]

- Get a penta kill with Pharah's ult, saving the point from capture and saving the game

- POTG goes to a Tracer who bombed three people in a doorway in the middle of the map

wat

Generally if Tracer gets a double or triple kill with her sticky it almost guarantees her POTG.

This just worked, but is this something you have to do every time?

 

[Card Boy]

That Lucio wall running achievement is going to be almost impossible considering none of the maps really have long straight stretches of wall.

If this was Titanfall/Black Ops 3 I would of got it in a match or two.

 

[Freezasaurus]

Just checked my stats before hopping on - dat 57.7% win rate.

I wouldn't really take much stock in it. Team rosters are completely random unless you're playing in a group with the same people all the time. It's kind of a useless stat here until Ranked matches go live.

Getting real fucking sick of the matchmaking in this game.

It's a good spot to snipe in the beginning, why change? lol

nah thats not really how it works

nah its really not

The way Blizzard handles matchmaking it kind of is though.

Because it's really obvious and you can see it from inside the spawn

Pretty much jump to the back line and kill the squishy stuff. Your whole goal is to take one or two down and distracting the rest for a bit while your team pushes. I like landing right on unsuspecting people and that scares them enough to where you deal a decent amount of damage. Then as they run a way chase for the kill. If they turn around and shoot drop your shield.

The shield part is key. Learn the distance from the edge to the closest you can drop it next to an enemy so they are still outside. You don't know the amount of times I completely nullified McCree and Reaper damage. Usually when they blow their load and see they did nothing they run but by then they are dead. If they run inside your shield so they can hit you back out. It blocks their damage if you are outside of it and they are shooting from within.

Don't be afraid to run. Don't just use your jump to initiate, jump away to live as well. Learn the jump angles you need to look to get used to the distances you can jump. You will be surprised how far you can jump and how accurately you land to a target.

Be sneaky. Always aim for the healer if no one too strong is around. Symmetra turrets go down like they are made of paper if you show up. Watch out for Bastions, Reapers, fully charged Zaryas, and good Soldiers. Never be too prideful to dip of their whole team turns around.

It's all about that Monkey business.

There are a lot of little things I can't remember atm but the key is to play around your shield. It will help you stay alive for a ludicrous amount of time if you can bait their attacks and block all their damage with your shield.


Winston is my fav. Not for all situationsbut, I just like going Bananas.

 

[Klyka]

Ok wow you can use "High Noon" as McCree and then a Lucio can use his speed boost and you are suddenly at jogging speed instead of slowly walking.

 

[Data West]

Go from a team with Tobjorn on Attack that can't cap a point to a team on defense with Widowmaker, Hanzo and no Support


soudns right

 

[BigDug13]

That feeling when a Roadhogg hooks you into the pit in Ilios, but you're Lucio and are able to wall jump around and back onto ground.

Especially when that Roadhog could have killed you with a shotgun blast, but was so cocky that they just wanted the pit to kill you, then you skate right out of it.

 

[Pastry]

then i must be the luckiest person in the world #blessed

There is a skill component sure but matchmaking goes out of its way to force you towards 50%. Today for example I've gone 3/15 with some of the worst teams I've ever had. I'm now below 50% even though I started the day above it.

 

[GraveRobberX]

Yeah at the start, but I've seen countless times they die, respawn and got back to same spot

Like you have this huge area

Mine says that but always goes away after like a second

 

[abundant]

If you've mostly played solo, then I do consider you either lucky or really good at this game that you can win a match single handedly

 

[Ramirez]

Because it's really obvious and you can see it from inside the spawn

Why would you allow anyone to see you pre match though? Another matter entirely, heh.

 

[Klyka]

That gosugamers tournament is so funny because it's literally mirror teams against each other every match because there are basically only 6 heroes that should ever be chosen in competitive if you are not allowed multiples of a hero.

 

[Red Arremer]

Finally picked this up last night and played to level 5 today. Already been doing pretty decently with Symmetra. I'm gonna have to learn how to use her offensively, cause she's so fun. ;-;

 

[Satch]

these are the ones that go with mine if u guys want

 

[forknknife]

Playing right now on ps4, would like to group up!

[cHinzo]

Lol, first I win a game on Watchpoint: Gibraltar with two Widowmakers in my team and no support at the end. The game after I join a winning game where the payload was right in front of the final point. :"D Is it weekend?

 

[Rizzi]

Horrible matchmaking combined with a tiny amount of maps makes me want to stop playing this game.

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

Guys, I just played a game where the widowmaker in our group jumped on the point to capture and contest it. We lost in the end but that was a nice surprise at least.

[More Fun To Compute]

The problem is not only that McCree is seen as being the best general dps making double/triple McCree strats both safe and viable. In the categories of Tank, Sniper and Support there is only one choice for each that is seen as required for almost every team composition.

 

[Plywood]

aw i love when he says that

and when pharah says "just remember your training, we're all gonna do just fine"

positivity feelsgoodman

Agreed.

 

[Hazaro]

Nah.
Zarya, Genji, Pharah, Tracer, Reaper, Winston, Lucio/Mercy (1 or 2 of either) get rotated in. C9 ran a Hanzo before too.

Game is still really fresh so far, need to keep letting it cook.

 

[Massive Duck. C.M.]

Why would you allow anyone to see you pre match though? Another matter entirely, heh.

We're talking about a Widowmaker standing on the bridge. The attack team has 30-40 seconds to watch the defense team's approach, so unless they're really unobservant they'll see, and it's safe to assume the defending team will have at least one sniper.

 

[Tyrant Rave]

I contest points all the time as Widow. Even if you die, sometimes it's worth it to throw your body on the point to stall time for a little longer rather than try to get one headshot or something.

I've had games with gold objective time too.

 

[darklin0]

these are the ones that go with mine if u guys want

No monkey, no as avatar change. Harrumph.

As someone who has never cared about cosmetics in a game.. These fucking lootboxes man. No, I don't want another fucking winston voice line!
