In the low 40s it's easily one of the layers of hell.

Ah, i know the feels.
I imagine we will see an Illidan themed Genji skin sooner than later.
They're going to crack that nut. It won't just straight up be WoW characters or Starcraft characters, but it'll be colors and designs similar. Like giving him horns and hooves and a green sword or something

Oh they're going to go for that shit for sure. Jaina Mercy, Kerrigan Widowmaker, Raynor McCree, etc.
Tychus Reinhardt
Her niche of consistently being the least used character and nerfed for unknown reasons? I guess so
Hopefully a BlizzCon announcement
VRAM issue or nah?
I have a 980 FWIW.

I would say Arthas Reinhardt.
Giant ass frostmorne, ice shield, icy or mini-Sindragosa projectile.
Im on pc
Did Blizzard fuck up the matchmaking or something? I've had some of the worst matches ever today. I had to stop playing just now or else I was going to snap the disc in half.
If were talking cross-over skins, Reaper as Maltheal from Diablo 3 seems too obvious not to do. They even share the same pose!

As long as I get Olaf the Stout Torbjörn, I don't care what else happens.
I'll also gladly take Baleog the Fierce Hanzo and Erik the Swift Lucio (or Tracer, would be even funnier).

Reddit seems to have come to the same conclusion as me: https://m.reddit.com/r/Overwatch/comments/4vzb29/rank_63_competitive_just_feels_like_a_survival/
I find it goes for QP too over a certain MMR. I'm not sure what the right fix is but buffing his counters rather than nerfing him might be the best way to go.

I was just talking about how broken genji seems to be at high levels. He is the one character I truly fear facing and I feel obligated to use my ults just to kill him if I ever hear "ryuji no ken wo kurae." He also doesn't seem to have any true viable counters
"If that Reaper is bothering her so much she should just use her pistol to kill him."
Yeah genji is great for carrying a team and forcing the enemy team to play a certain way

That's why I decided to put for the effort to get good at Genji. It literally requires over like 30-40 hours of playtime to become "OK" at a Ranked Level. Then you need another 100 hours on top of that to reach the levels of "stream-tier genji". He is real tough, but once you get the hang of him, you are a walking team-wipe in a can.
God i just had one of those days where it feels like the game is out to get you. I just wanted to get on and do 1 game, get my first win exp, maybe earn a box to get some summer gear.
7 straight losses, mostly blow outs. Awful teams. Had a guy on hanamura defense who refused to be anyone but tracer, when we had no healer (i was tank). And games where tanks just refused to be anyone but zarya (shes not bad, but situationa when solo tanking, especially on defense). We just got rolled.
Eventually just went to competitive so at least people would try. 2 losses there, fairly close this time. First one was egypt, double over time but lost because of the coin flip putting us on the wrong side. Second one was Nepal, 1-1, 99-99 over time, just cleared the whole team off the point and would have won if not for a last second enemy mercy rez. Damn frustrating.
Then i got invited to a team of decent players, and hoped maybe now i had a chace to win one finally. I didn't even get the chance. For some reason, I got stuck on the loading screen, and had to leave. Twice. ts never happened before. And this was comp, so it counts against me. I just gave up after that.
Finally got fed up and went vs ai, and eventually got past the load screen. Apparently for some reason I'm just taking super long to load for some reason. It took 30 seconds before I could even see my character. And the enemy bots were literally invisible for another minute after that. I hope its not a hardware issue. And then there was no first win exp. I thought you could get that from VS AI.
I hate leaving on a loss, but I think i'm making a new rule after today: Quit after 3 losses from now on.
Sorry, but i just really had to vent.

Opened my second summer games box and:
I already had the tracer and reaper skins....

Yes it can easily. Also reflections to medium, Local fog detail to high and you'll probably get stable 120fps. Those two settings do virtually nothing but eat a lot of FPS.

He's definitely great for making Genji's life hell, but right now, Winston just doesn't seem viable in Ranked.
Every game has got a Zenyatta, which makes Winston drop so fast that even the Genji you were trying to harass can burn you down before you burn him. And every game has a Reaper. One of those that actually initiates first using decent positioning will get 1 to 2 shots off to start and will drop him. Ana directly, and easily, counters Winston's ult.
Any more, he seems great for a counter-pick that you switch to when your team has stalled, and then you quickly switch out of. I'm not sure that a buff is in order. Maybe a nerf to the increased damage from Orbs?

4 - 0 streak then we come against a 66 Hanzo who was either cheating or the best Hanzo I've ever seen by a mile, must have had 8 ultimates during the game. If he's legit he should seriously go pro because I've never seen anything like it.
As someone who plays a lot of Lucio, I know Genji is coming for me if he ults. Should I have to save/have my ult available just so me and my team can survive his?
If the enemy team has a good Genji, I think your team should either try to save Lucio ult or Reinhardt ult to stop him when he ults. But of course it's situational.

It's funny, I've played Genji about 5-6 times now. And each time it follows the same pattern: 90% of the match I feel like I'm totally useless and just plinking away at the enemy without doing any major damage. But then that last 10% I'm just a goddamn machine, shredding enemies left and right. Not always due to his ult. either; there were times when I was just on a roll and kicking ass with his regular abilities. But it never seems to be quite enough to feel like I'm making a difference.
Maybe I should start picking him more just to get some practice in. He's pretty much my go-to pick for the character to pick in skirmish to play around with; maybe I should take him into actual competition more.

Settings I use for 120FPS rock solid with a GTX 970 / i5 3570k @ 4.3GHz @ 1080p.
Although McCree is great to counter Genji but the moment you fail to kill Genji with your flashbang combo you are good as dead. With Genji double jumping right click melee swift strike combo or right clicking you to death while your flashbang on cooldown there is almost no way to outbeat him one on one unless you got a good aim to shoot upclose.
So I guess the real underlying question I have is: is it fair that I should have to save my ultimate just to make sure one character's ultimate doesn't completely kill my entire team?

I got all the Summer skins I wanted. I'm only missing Widowmaker, but I never play her, so it's whatever.

Most people don't even use mics in competitive, so no.

I honestly feel like the summer boxes have a higher drop rate for legendaries than regular boxes.
