Nice!
I'm starting to realize that 6-stacks in comp aren't really worth it.
I did my placement with a stack and was put at 50. I lost 3 or 4 levels with a stack. I gained them all back by either solo or duo play.
Then, I just sort have stopped playing comp.
Yup, keep him as Mercy for all games. I can always be Lucio when needed cuz I do good with Lucio for all maps.
I think the smartest thing to do is comp with 1 or 2 other people. It seems to pit 3 stacks against all solo players a lot, while when you get 5-6 you're gonna keep getting full groups which can be all over the place.
Anytimes something stupid happens in Overwatch, I like bitching about it here.
It's therapeutic.

Reaper and Roadhog destroy Mei with ease.

Anyone else having problems on Xbox right now? Game froze, then took forever to get back on, now I can't find a game.

As a Mei player, that's usually the opposite in my experience. Reaper in particular is such an easy kill.

Anytime Mei comes after me as Reaper I either headshot her to death or she's forced to heal or wall me off. There's a lot of bad Reapers though so I wouldn't be surprised if that's the case for you.
Honestly, I'm so confused
Everyone telling me reaper>mei
but as someone who solely plays reaper, I find the matchup scary as hell. If you get frozen at all your camera locks up and you're suddenly unable to keep up with them moving to the side- if you don't get them to cryo and the headshot after, you're screwed
:x
and before someone says "git gud" with reaper I'm competent enough with him.

Nerfing Hanzo.
I don't understand. Hitboxes make him viable and only sometimes so. :/ Unintentional doesn't really mean broken. Oh well.

It's really not fair for the other player, though. He shouldn't be competitive because of something that's just not really fair, if this fix makes him too weak of a character, then they should buff him in other places.
People don't like janky hitboxes, your deaths feel unfair. If your character is truly only viable because of that, go back to the drawing board for how he works and his buffs.
No one likes dying before they turn a corner properly.

It's the weirdest thing. Recently I decided to say "fuck it" and go into Competitive with no expectations. Not only that, but I start every session by turning off all social options, even the text chat, since it seemed like that wasn't helping all that much.
And ever since I've done that, I've been on one hell of a winning streak. I wonder sometimes if it was a social anxiety thing of "What are they going to say if I do something wrong?" or if I've just been lucky with teams, but so far I've climbed up from my low of 43 to back up to 48, and been having a lot more fun by just reading the actual action to figure out my next move or character swap, rather than depending on the rest of my team. If I get back over 50, I might turn the chat back on, but for now it's working out great just playing blind.

Try being on console where we don't even have the option to avoid
So i haven't heard this one before ingame, thought it was pretty hilarious Tracer mocking Reaper when she kills him
This patch can't come to console soon enough. I'm very excited for Ana and all the positive changes that it's making it a bit difficult to play right now.
This happened during the last PTR but not as much as right now because of Ana mostly.
Is the opposite team leaver skill rating issue fixed on all systems at least?

I am pretty elusive as Mei, I can often stay on the point in KotH alone against 3-4 other people buying time for the team to get back without getting killed. You can do a lot of stuff jumping around, putting down walls, cryo-freezing, she's not an easy target at all at close range. Forcing her to heal isn't exactly an advantage since she can get out of the cryo-freeze when she wants, she'll always have the upper hand in reaction time.
Well, he can't do a lot against her, unless you surprise her and straight up headshot her, but it's pretty hard considering how loud his footsteps are, unlike hers.
If I see a Reaper close to me I just approach him and start freezing him and kill him. If he wraithforms away I just follow him, he's not faster than Mei, and start again when he comes out. The only way he has to escape is just going back behind his team, but he's rarely close enough to wraithform to them.

It's hard to keep up with whom has died and whom hasn't. I always shield everyone at the start and when I notice they died in the kill counter and pass me by, or if I see them without a shield, but it's difficult to notice.

Don't think so, I just played a game on PS4 that had leavers and I only went up like 20% of a rank.
please say you're on PSN so I can team up with you and harass people in comp
I went up 75%, it's surely fixed.
He should be shooting you in the face during these moments because Mei will die before he is close to frozen.
Generally a mei should be backing up/moving and relying on your camera freezing up very fast. A jumping mei strafing is not an easy target to win against.

A good mei shouldn't be freezing reaper, she should be dropping him in 2 headshots.
Right.
She will still die before she can back up.
Mei definitely wants to alt fire him and never engage in CQC but similarly, Reaper shouldn't engage at a range vulnerable to her projectiles.

i'm going to play PTR and practie with widow. seems good to improve my aim which is like uber poo jump,
re: mei: crouch and strafe. actually. just go crazy or eye wall behind them first then go in. most people try to back up.

No I meant that they didn't shield anyone for nearly the entire round not that they just forgot at that moment 😑

It's definitely in, though I've had a couple of funky results that had the usual 1/15 XP gain
I'll try to dig out the batlle.net post

Exactly
Nope, PC.
She won't because he's gonna see me when it's too late for him to aim properly. If I get killed by a Reaper it's because he completely caught me by surprise in some way, but it's really, really hard to not hear him coming. Every action he has is super loud.
Yeah, well. Better not to give out your position in case you miss. Freezing him is a guaranteed kill. If I could headshot 100% of the time I'd just use Widowmaker.
Honestly with prelude here- I only use reaper and...
theres a difference between sneaking up on a team and mei, she can actually act out of you sneaking up and put you into a hellish situation. Sneaking up on soldier? He can't do much. Mei? Freeze while dodging.
But hey, to each their own?

Eh, not really the same. She's more akin to hanzo in that the hitbox on her projectile is crazy generous. More midrange than widow.

Have people fallen off playing this on ps4 or something? had like 2-3 people on so far tonight, previously it would be more like 10-15.
maybe waiting for update? Hard work pays off though. Let's add me on ps4, i'm a person. PSN: Owzers

Supposedly, someone has. I found a Reddit thread from a few weeks ago that claimed there were two people in the 80s.
But I haven't found much talk about it recently. Everyone's talking about the PTR stuff.
That moment where you teleport as Reaper only to see a Roadhog turn the corner and stand right next to it.
or
That moment where you teleport as Reaper to a nice spot above the enemies but for some reason the teleport moves slightly through no fault of your own just as you press the button and you end up teleporting into a group of enemies instead.

Ha. I've had her call people 'tossers'. That's when I know I'm being super British.
