Or, perhaps not.
Nah, you're right. I'll stop messing with you Buttchin.

Why do people always flame the genji when the whole team is losing?

I'm gonna have to second this.
There won't be a next time Yosuke. Deleted.
Nah, no worries man. I was just spamming invites to everyone who was on.

Started at 54, went up to 60, went back down to 54...
Because if you are not a good Genji, you are away from the team and objective, getting done nothing and when in a teamfight don't even have enough HP to at least absorb some damage.
At least it's not attack Widowmaker, who just wants to make sure nobody pressures us in the back so stays behind the corner, away from all fighting.
So those two characters get a lot of flack.
Holy shit, turns out Lucioball is serious business and you'd better bring your A game or prepare for abuse. I managed 3 matches before I just stopped playing (I'm not great but managed a goal or two)
So glad I stay out of the competitive matches and just play unranked for fun.

I went from 46 to 55 to 50 to now 59. I'm always watching out for that backslide.

Wait really? Damn. The worst I got was people spouting gibberish. Like, literal gibberish.
I really like lucioball though. Got some super hype goals.

Ha!
I thought that different player glitch in LucioBall was just a bug on PC. I just spawned as Winston on the Xbox after we went a goal up.
Killed the opposition, they all left. Felt a bit bad. I won't kill again.

All I heard tonight was a bunch of Lucios saying "I need healing!" or "Somebody call a doctor!"
But nobody came.

Dear Genji,
You cannot reflect my lazers.

Prepare to get owned.
I doubt they are going to nerf him because he's a high risk high reward hero. It's easy to be nearly useless with him if the enemy team can shutdown your ult well.

I wish I was good with Roadhog but I'm absolutely useless with him for some reason.
Tried out Ana for the first time last night, she's really fun to play as when it starts to click. Nothing more satisfying than hitting a sleep dart on someone using an ult.

Oh you are one of those. What if I'm genji and I flank them, distract their team kill the mercy and a dps, and my team dies while pushing and then flames me. Am I still getting nothing done?
You guys complain about mid 50s...I made my placement matches as a support, finished 6-4. But all my wins were KOTH maps except one...being supports nerfed for placement and KOTH maps giving less rating for win I got placed at 44. I thought it was normal until I read more about the subject. Then I quit competitive until they made it more fair for supports.
But came back when hero stacking was eliminated. Yeah...mid 40s mid season is hell. I dropped to 40 and I dont see myself going up ever. People just dont listen, never counter, dont group up and flame and ragequit on regular basis.

KOTH is the only gametype I like now. Fucking love seeing lijiang tower. Every payload map goes to coinflip or comes down to one fight, attackers need way less time. Its so easy for any competent team to finish the map, and this is coming from someone who only solo queues. At least on koth you can basically carry with tracer/genji/mccree, pretty annoying when your team can't follow through though. Had a 74 elim Tracer game with like 6 deaths and 65% kill participation and we lost 2-3. Wut team.
Because its not a try hard mode anymore, if I play qp im basically practicing on characters im bad at. A lot of people want to be good genjis.
Sweet. I'm 83% for Junkrat. Quite a bit lower for everyone else but happy I'm half-decent with at least one character.

Because Genji is really good in solo q and people wanna learn him. Thanks to reddit, people are extremely convinced he's the most busted thing in the game.
I could see them toning down the ult a bit to make him less oppressive in solo q at some point. Genji is probably fine but he's very difficult to play around once he starts snowballing.
Edit: Also after getting pretty good at Genji (good enough to play him in the 70 SR range at least) I actually don't think he's that hard to learn. Getting over the initial hump is rough, my QP Genji stats are still awful from my first 5-6 hours on him, but once you get the idea down of what he can and can't get away with he becomes pretty straightforward.
I'm still pretty meh at landing M1 shurikens on every toss and I'm still blowing through entire enemy teams.
Shit, really? Damn, hahaha. Well, at least it means I'm pretty good with a larger range of characters.

So assuming the Summer Games event happens annually, and brings back all the old content but also adds new content, how would you guys want the new content?
Would you like all new stuff for every character, i.e. sprays/icons/voice lines, or would you rather they just give the characters that had been released during that year their respective sports icon/spray/voice (and also any new country flag icons for stuff that had been added to the game since then) and just add a handful new skins, emotes, etc. (not necessarily only for the new heroes)?

Because he's broken if you're good with him so people are learning him in QP. Playing against rank 60+ Genji's is honestly game ruining at this point, you have to play around him or you lose, as a Zen if I use my ultimate against anything but him he'll kill the entire team.

I think he's messing with you. If Overbuff says that you are the 83rd percentile then you are the top 17 percent.
Maybe. But I yet to see the Defense-oriented heroes to be useful outside of their specialized niche (Junkrat seems to be the exception of this rule, though).
Same. I love the little bird that chills with him, and his bleeps and bloops (complemented with his curiosity) makes him pretty cute. My heart sank when I heard this exchange when playing as Zarya:
Zarya: "I have destroyed more of your kind than I can count."
Bastion: <sad beep>
87th percentile with Tracer, 89th with Mercy and 75th with Lucio which are my most played characters right now and last night we went 2-6. Seen so many stupid actions.
Why do people decide to pile up on the payload in the dying seconds of a defense match only to get slaughtered by a ulting Reapfield who then proceeds to push the payload through the objective. Not once, but twice in the same match.
I'm contemplating picking up the PC version and give it a spin but i'm not sure how well i'd do after playing the console version for so long.

I'm in the same boat. I keep putting out that I'm down with some competitive, but people seem to be allergic to me.
