Had a marvelous comeback earlier. Thought we were doomed after a total annihilation in the first round defending Talking their entire team was on fire. Second round was hard fought and we barely passed in overtime. In sudden death we lost the coin flip and had to defend; things were looking dire. Somehow we managed to pull it off with once well placed ultimate. Super satisfying victory.

Is the overtime timer bugged? Because I was on Ilios with our team fighting back on overtime and capping the point and the game just up and decided to give the other team the game while we were still capping
Then they went on to win the game.

Trying to get that 60 in competitive. At 56! https://www.overbuff.com/players/pc/CrackaFett-1990
It happens in the 50s too man. I went from 46 to 55 back down to 50 before slowly climbing back up due to these people. I'm trying to figure out a time where there are serious adults playing comp to win.
Rule of thumb- try to improve yourself, not your teammates. Calling them 'fucking idiots' and such all the time doesn't improve the fact you just went 0-6, and at that point, probably isn't the key issue in the slightest. You will place well even with losses if you did well- in placement matches it was notable, and in current matches now you move entire ranks and lose quarters of ranks if you're outplaying your group.
What I'm trying to say is that the game is done in a way that enables people outplaying their group to rank with ease, so it shouldn't be a huge issue.
The stats you see don't perfectly reflect how you play- I've had games with 90+ kills where I've had the majority solo, and I've had games with 50 where I simply "tagged" the vast majority of my kills.

Wait, pretty sure it does?
I blame the lack of deathmatch mode
dva is really fun right now. You can survive for so long with def matrix change. Bait them into shooting, def matrix and charge/melee them while they're reloading. So awesome. I actually try to get back into my suit ASAP now instead of milking the pistol. Managed to get a 5 piece with her ult in my last game too. Feels good man
I wish I could separate my games played on dva before and after the patch on overbuff/masteroverwatch though ;_;
Nope. It's like a projectile stream so it's only center at the furthest point. As you get closer it starts getting offset to the right.
When you get that Dragonblade flank and break through the defenses just right.
The Bastion, Torbjorn, Reinhardt combo on point A of Anubis holding it down hard. All it took was the Bastion going out of place for a second and everyone got sworded. Torbjorn and his turret was first, Reinhardt was second, Dva was third, and Bastion, caught completely aloof, was last.
It was the kind of thing you live for when you play Genji. Like I don't even care about the kills. It was just using the ult at the right time and breaking through the defense hard for my team. No Mercy, no support iwth me.

Yup. Rule #1 of competitive play is you can only improve your own game, not your teammates' game. Focus on improving yourself, and learn to carry. Until then, take the loss and accept you're not good enough.
Learning this really helps in coming to peace with losses in competitive.

Finally got around to adding my name to the spreadsheet (PC) because I can't take playing with randoms anymore. It's killing my vibe
As someone who watched the Rocket League OT for months, I'm fairly certain some people aren't really able to come to this conclusion on their own- after all, no one wants to admit they aren't particularly the best at any given thing, especially something they put time into.
And it's not like something you can call out. "Look at this awful play by my teammates that lost us the game!" doesn't really leave us any room to tell someone that in reality the rest of the game probably mattered and perhaps in that very play they did something fundamentally wrong without coming off as aggressive to them.

Nah. There needs to be at least one popular game on the market that forces people to realize that teamwork actually exists.

Of course, it's definitely hard to admit. But when it comes down to it, it goes back to something I was told early on in my professional life: "Do not stress about the things in your life you have no control over. You cannot change those. Focus all your energy into the things you do have control over, and this will benefit you the most."
Sometimes teammates really are terrible, but there's nothing you can do about that. As infuriating as it is, shaming them will only make it worse. They also don't want to think they're wrong, so asking the Hanzo main who's contributing nothing to switch to a more useful hero is pointless, they'll just feel offended and play worse. What you can do is take the loss but play your best and focus on honing your skills, so that one day, it won't matter how bad that Hanzo is because your skill can compensate.
Also, just close the game when you're tilting. No use playing when you're emotional and debilitated. That one took me a while to figure out, but, yah.
Doesn't it hit the crosshairs at a distance but when you get up close it hits to the right of them?
Wut... Totally trying this next time.
nice post, no need to stress yourself further and just play a game

I have a new goal.
POTG as Ana. It'll be hard but it's possible. The key is in the grenade.

This is why I main reaper
Death Blossom is so easy to shut down, but if you get it just right, you can finish matches and go "wow, we totally lost that at the end there until I got 5 people in under 10 seconds"
Zarya can make a diff and a lucio refusing to die on KOTH can too.
edit: you can wallride on d va?
What

Dva dm shutting down death blossom and graviton surge is so delicious though.
Actually i really have to test this out. If you put the dm cone over the enemy reaper death blossoming, can he actually shoot out of it, or can dm basically contain it?

see, you should play other heroes to enjoy the fun.
I think DM contains it....I think.
I do~ I play reaper when I'm trying to win though, since it's such free points.
i never saw you play other heroes other than McCree a few times. show me your skills in QP!

yea, keep up with their changes so you have a better idea of how to counter them. still waiting for a raven or plague doctor costume to drop before i play Reaper again.

Bought plague doctor, never looked back.

D.Va was always fun for me, been playing her since day one (have around 80 hours of playtime on D.Va). With the new buffs, they changed the def matrix ability from being on RB to LT and you can now only cancel her boost with RT, whereas before buffs, she can cancel with both LT or RT. I got used to using LT. It took me about six to seven games to get readjusted to the new controls because of muscle memory. Another thing that took some adjustment is not being able to ult her mech with a high arc to surprise enemies because the mech blows up one sec faster now, so if you do a high arc, it'll blow up in the air not killing anyone. Not being killed by her ult though is huge.
Yes, D.Va's dm completely shuts down death blossom. I have used it many times to survive and because it absorbs it, my teammates behind me are able to fire away and finish him off while he's in the middle of it.
Something cool I learned was that if Pharah is ulting, at the cost of your mech, you can kill her by boosting towards her with the dm on and shutting it off before you run right into her and if she's aiming directly at you, the rockets will explode destroying your mech but the splash damage ends up killing her in the process. Or you can fly directly into her with dm and knocking her away and then finishing her off while falling in midair.
