This is my experience, if my team is just scattered around the map I'm no use, so I usually just go to Pharah and do what I can.

what? How do you know if there's a turret or teleporter ahead, and if they've been taken care of? o_0
yep, esp. if you're a player that doesn't solely rely on Torb's turret and know how to use his alt-fire... sent many a D.Va/Reaper/Pharah/S76's running scared with one blast when they realize, unless they're on a suicide mission.
At least link to the desktop version of the OT
Nope, the most important thing is the OP having crazy photoshops and gifs.
Went back to quick play to learn a lower sensitivity, it's definitely quite different in there compared to rank. Still had some really good games after I started getting used to aiming again but comps and team play is more wild west for sure. Still was great fun, in part due to the "quick" part of the name as unless many players quit or there were many steamrolls in a row you just roll into the next map without returning to the menu and starting over again. That's how you keep playing just one round more.
What about on defense where you're likely to not get as many offensive heroes?

you could at least add the quotable community links? You can't access them in the page you linked because the thread is locked. Mess. LOL

Just had the best streak since rank. I went from 47 to 52. Most of the matches I was lucky enough to get matched with decent players.
The first match on Dorado, we got crushed in def, team started bitching with each other. I said that if something was not working, someone should say something during and not after the damn match. When it was our turn to attack, I gave some suggestions on how we should proceed, everybody was surprisingly very understanding and we fucking crushed them even harder. We then went on to win in sudden death. Man, that one felt great.
Then there was the last match. There was this one tracer, who was silent during the whole game. It was not working, some people and I asked him to switch to soldier to counter their godlike Pharah. No response. We failed to push the last stretch in King's Row. Then our turn to def, he still played Tracer. We got pushed damn hard but somehow managed to hold them barely after the 2nd point. We won. He and I were the only one on our team to be voted. I healed for 18K and he got 44 eliminations, which admittedly is not bad at all. Only until then did he say: "Tracer, please switch". lol.

I'm curious. If you hear "behind you!", is it you and only you who can hear that cue? Cause god knows an enemy could be behind any of your allies.
Hang out at the door ways, run out into a group, throw your shield up, then get back in. A fully charged Zarya usually makes teams very hesitant to make a big push. I've held the door on Anubis/Hanamura so many times as Zarya. It really all boils down to how competent each team is though, you can tell pretty quickly if a Zarya is going to work or not.

Last night me and some family member were playing online. I proceeded to type "I thought this was a bot match. Oh no". Joking of course. The other team started playing along with it and were saying "beep boop" or several "MissionFailed.exe" comments. Not only was it a funny game but very competitive and close on several matches. Probably the funniest moments I have had in this game. Overwatch is love although it makes me rage at times.
I like how bots always say gg like they're actual people.
No gg ez though
In WoW they have a set of AI NPCs when you do the tank or healing trials that are basically shitlords. 'WHERES THE HEALS' 'UM HELLO I HAVE AGGRO' and so on

yeah, the ez people, I have to imagine are kids. I had a really good match today, lost in a long overtime to a last second Pharah ult and the the Bastion on the other team just start spamming ez in chat. His own team went off on him and of course he started telling his teammates how they did nothing. The urge to get under peoples' skin after a quality match is something I can only see a middle schooler getting a kick out of.
Everyone knows the best map is Hollywood.

Platinum Trophy: Learned to Shit While Upright Again.
I'm on mobile, usually post on GAF through it, sorry
Hopefully Duckroll can adjust it, he already did my title
Not even one day worth's Duck!
I complain internally when someone on my team picks him
for some reason i thought Discord was related to Zenyatta. didn't know it was a chat service lol
This is good stuff

He is super situational, if I see him as a starting pick on my team, I know it's going to be rough.
One of my least favourite because of that first chokepoint, disgusting!
lijiang easy

Platinum Trophy: Learned to Shit While Upright Again.
Bastion during BETA infancy was a hassle, cause most were learning the classes
Little by little people took note how to gain advantage over him
Bastion in the right hands still can be a deterrence
You can't play him as a lockdown class anymore
Player base overall know that Bastion is a last resort/situational character
Stop payload from capping, or if a team goes tank heavy say 3+
Bastion can shred Winston/Roadhog/Zarya, destroy Rein's shield or push D.Va out of the mech
Only complaint I have about Bastion is teams get tunnel vision and don't adjust when someone plays Bastion, they don't want to change to counter, hoping someone on their team would the job, yet keep during to the Gatling gun, until one finally does and destroys them, then you see no more Bastion, but it takes awhile for it to register

Symmetra is the best character.
Symmetra is love.
Symmetra melts through 5 characters in less than 5 seconds.
Welcome to my reality.
Seriously I'm god awful at playing Offense, but oh the webs I weave as Symmetra on Defense is so good. Move over Widowmaker, the real black widow is Symmetra baiting foolish Genji and Reaper and such into my 6 turret car wash of death. Oh you think you can move the payload? Lets see you move past a seemingly infinite minefield of turret annoyances while my team moves in to kill you, immediately coming back to haunt you if you even manage to kill them thanks to the teleport. Also the fear people have of Symmetra coming straight at them is fantastic. Until D.va and Zen gets a decent buff (if D.va deserves a buff, I guess that's still debatable), Symmetra is officially my main.
On a totally different, unrelated topic: I hate Winston.

I complain when there's one on my team. I have yet to see a good Bastion in comp.
Ugh, disgusting. I hope they can fix that quickly.
With Mercy, I generally say right away "matmanx1" is playing Mercy and I will be hanging out behind player "Cooldude" who is playing Reinhardt. It at least lets my team know that I have a game plan and that I'm going to be supporting the tank.

The first placement match I had someone immediately bail, followed by someone else and we lost. The second placement match someone immediately bailed, followed by my team going full stupid (hanzo, hanzo, widow or double reinhardts). Meanwhile we're matched up against world-class super teams who delight in their ez 5v4 or 5v3 matches. Just once I'd like to be matched up against the team where half quit and the other half are apparently playing for the first time ever, instead of always being on that team.
I may as well just forget competitive and leave it to Quick Play, where at least being matched with drooling idiots or ragequitters isn't going to negatively impact me... /rant

The rage quit out of spite for the winning team is starting to get out of hand from my experience.

I mean, this is how Elo works. When you're near the upper bounds, it's far easier to fall than to climb. Progression is not supposed to be linear.
isn't the idea to get you into a bracket of people roughly your skill so you'll be winning and losing with equal frequency? that's not happening with me, i'm consistently >60% winrate in comp and haven't climbed so i'm still playing the same people.
if you're winning 80% or more of your games like some pros you should probably be in the 90s right now and i don't think anyone's past 82 or so

So why play that game mode?

I like the competitive mode, I find it much more thrilling to play.
I do not like the shit sudden death mode where you get 1 minute 30 seconds to attack and win the point, when in reality, or most games ive seen or played, it takes longer than that.
Especially when none of the team on PS4 ever talk on the mic.
