That's nuts. Competitive has to be highly coordinated... or you're gonna have a bad time. That must be incredibly frustrating.

The worse scenario is when the team that had the leaver, the 5v6 team, manages a win and they STILL get the XP penalty.
That was a fun match. Hope it happens again. I was also surprised to see us make it through your defense that easily. We were horrible of defense until the end, so I had figured you would shut us down.
Not really frustrating but it's obvious when a team is communicating over voice and timing ulti's and stuff and we aren't. I dunno why people don't speak on EU PC, maybe the language barrier? It's so different to TF2 where everyone would be talking and laughing and it was awesome.
Admit it - you loved our double Bastion gambit. LOL
So it says you can leave the game without penalty when a team member quits. But then I still gives me a penalty..what the hell Blizz
I hate to ask the obvious question, but did you wait until the warning timer counted down to 0 before leaving?
Having never left a competitive game, either instigating a leave or leaving early after the timer has expired, I'd like to ask how you know a penalty was given? Do you get an obvious red box somewhere else stating as such?
This definitely needs to be changed.
Though to keep the 6-person team playing and not give the 5 person team a chance to embarrass them then should they receive some sort of non-skill rating incentive to stay in and not leave? I can't think of anything that may not be abused.
Though if Blizzard changed it so that 1 person leaving doesn't throw up that red banner that it is okay to leave without penalty then they'd stay. Nothing else would exchange except if the 5 person team lost they'd lose less rating, but if they won they'd gain more rating.
Did two placements, won both, so its 2 wins 1 loss so far. Felt really bad for the team on the first match because one guy on their team left when we hit checkpoint 1 on Dorado attack, then another 2 left when we hit the second checkpoint, and by the time it was their turn to attack it was just 2 guys left. Fucking inconsiderate jerks.
The second match was AMAZING though. Best Mercy player ever. We got steamrolled on Attack in Hollywood. But when we did defend we held them until right at the end, when they came for the big push and wiped us all at the point, and our Mercy escaped behind into the room, came round, and revived us ALL. Save of the game. So it was 0-0, and we won on defense in Sudden Death.
Then I decided to mess around on a Quick Play match, got Ilios, played my worst games ever, just being a terrible dork in general. Somehow we still won the first round. Then I picked Mei for the lolz... contributed jack shit, we lost that round. Then I picked Zarya who I've NEVER played, and got some practice but, yeah... not good. If any of you were in that game, I'm sorry!
I'm not crazy. I'm planning my placements so I'm always playing with at least 3 other people I know.

It happens on NA PC as well. Or at least, people stopped talking for the most part once I dropped below, say, mid-50s. At mid-40s, everyone is silent except for the occasional text chat message. Sometimes I'll even ask if people are on mic and people will answer yes, and then radio silence for the rest of the match anyways. ????????????????
I know I'm generally quiet with randoms unless I have something game specific to mention. That's crazy though they never say anything tho

That's a good plan. I like how OW allows people to play together no matter their rank. Most MP games do not allow that. should help foster a good community in ranked
Low/Mid 50's here, I am always on the mic, and when I join a game I always start with, "What's going on Team?" Usually I'll get people switching on their mics immediately and most often there are at least 2 other people chatting which is good enough. I think a lot of people just want to see that their team are dicks when they talk at first.
When it's 4+ others chatting the team becomes OP -- seriously I think my W/L % when more than half the team is chatting is 90%. Communication = OP.
Otherwise, even if nobody else is talking I'll see that there are 2-3 others in the Team Chat channel so I know they can hear me and I will just make callouts. I was basically coordinating my Zarya Ults with a silent Genji who was in the channel but not talking and we synced up each time. He would answer me with the "Understood" command when I would give him updates. Or I'd call out an enemy Mercy or Mei causing trouble to focus fire and half the team would turn to find them, feels good.
I did because it made it easier to win thanks to our Soldier 76 destroying your Bastions.
Btw guys my tag on PC is sandboxgod#1710. Send invite. Have mic. Planning to play both casual / ranked today
LOL!
good tips. will make sure to apply. I always talked in Rainbow six siege cause I felt it was obviously mandatory (since the dead players in that game can turn the last living guy into Rambo quite literally with all the intel). will get back into that habit

Had a decent run in ranked today. Some good some bad, ah well, I'm trying not take my rank too seriously this time and just play to have fun, man. Took a one day break because I felt myself starting to care too much, which does help me just relax about it.
Got up a rank at least.
Got an awesome pharrah run too. Well. Awesome for me anyway. 51% direct hits at 76. I think I'm getting better at leading which is fun. Even got them to counterpick with soldier which I felt flattered by.

lol, harsh. But I will say one of the biggest problems w/ OP's OT is now that the thread OP's linked to is locked you can't 'quote to see' etc. smh
Yeah, I'm generally pretty calm playing OW. Like, I'm trying to win but the game really does not piss me off at all. No point raging, just try to do better if you're losing.

I love him

Someone on our team DC'd, no one else on our team left and he came back a few minutes later. Ended up winning the game but still only got 1/20th of rank gain. Annoying to say the least.
I'd love to get into some GAF matches on PS4 at some point if I could. Add me!
PSN: Chance_Splinter
Mic: yes.
NA - central time.
Main: Mercy (89 percentile)
Good: Pharah, Rein, Lucio, Tracer, Symm
Decent: Zarya, Reaper, Junkrat, Widow if it calls for it.
Got 45 out of the placement, and promptly dropped 2 ranks qq

I know what you mean, spamming his strong debuff and quick attacks is great. Last time I played him, i think i killed a Widowmaker twice from a distance. His balls are very accurate lol.
Still, he needs a bit more health or shield, or maybe quicker movement.
What's more annoying is that player who DC'd and rejoined took an automatic loss. This better be a bug, because it doesn't make sense otherwise.

I have never seen four randoms chatting in competitive below a certain rank. I have seen other groups do it, though (the group I was playing in joined forces with that group for a while, feel like we dragged them down a bit unfortunately). I imagine it does happen, because I've seen the OPPOSING team coordinate ults and stuff, it just never happens on mine. I've been trying to be more vocal on mic but it seems like a very fine line between "helpful" and "bossy."
I have seen the second thing you mention more, though--people emoting "Understood" and following your lead a bit (though I rarely if ever give orders, only callouts). But then one time, in coinflip attack on Kings' Row, I was calling out things like turrets going down but we lost anyways, and one person on our team was (understandably) miffed that no one got on point except their Winston. So I don't know how often people pay attention to that stuff or not. I also don't know if my callouts were bad, because I actually kind of feel like I lost focus on that round and forgot the time limit was so short.
I see that and raise you a torb who on kings cross defense decided to spot the attack 60 meters after we lost point A and set up his turret and defense all the way back past the next check point and along the side ledge by the finish line instead of trying to mount a defense closer to the payload in order to help stop the attack in the hopes of having an easier distance to reach for the win when we attacked.
no offense to graverobber but this OT is super rough though. * maybe the worse I've ever seen for any Community OT that I follow

Could just be a glitch. Tracers sometimes have over 100% kill participation, and Mercy's sometimes have over 100% kill assist participation.
Even the thread title sucks compared to the other suggestions, lol.

The reconnect and loss is being patched soon
Saw a post about it just now when they posted 16 hours ago.

That was probably the most intense set of matches I have done with my Reinhardt. Very good games. I need to make sure to upload my footage of it sometime today.
It was funny how everyone wanted to make sure that the match was being recorded once we realized that we were facing off against another GAF group. Still a little salty about how we lost because of sudden death. If this was held under Stopwatch Rules, we would've won!

Something incredibly generic about salt.
What are they changing it to? Got a link?
Thread title is brilliant, what are you talking about?
EDIT: Oh, unless you haven't seem Game of Thrones. Then maybe the impact is lost

Something like "#Oversalted: enjoy the L in NaCL"
Oh, so that makes two out of four OT titles that made no sense to me.
That feel when you absolutely hard carry a game
I think this is the first time ever for me, good grief, now I want to play offence forever
Also apparently if someone leaves in a placement game it says you can leave without penalty but you actually lose the placement game.
Because reasons.
