I got my first POTG as Ana last night - I grenaded about four people in a Zarya Graviton Surge and got credit for all four kills. I'll take it.
But no-scope Ana is much better than playing her as a sniper. I find myself focusing more on healing my team with regular shots and grenading/sleeping enemies.
Im the opposite, i started out no-scoping but im gradually starting to scope a little more.
Which reminds me last night in comp., we were going back and forth on anubis with both teams sucking ass on defense. There was one guy who kept picking sym on defense (to no avail), and one guy who was picking ana on offense (prtty decent). The ana wanted to play her on defense also but ppl on our team kept saying she was bad on defense (tru)...i might have lied and told the team that she was getting played on defense recently just so we didnt have to deal w/ a guy insta-picking sym everytime we were on defense lol. We won so everyone happy

...and the jello's jiggling.
I miss my team all the time when I use the scope so I just stick close to them and blast them constantly lol. It felt so good last night watching a Genji desperately trying to kill a turret mode Bastion with his ult while I hid in a corner constantly healing the Bastion. Occasionally I'll use the scope to cause a stationary Widowmaker to flee or just fire at bigger targets. I really need to improve my sleep dart aim though.

I hate playing with a group thats defending with 3 attackers and two of them are Genji. Its pretty fucking annoying. Doesnt even cover the ground of a balanced team.

FUCK YES!!!
Edit: to go with it:
If anyone is curious. I placed at 66 from my initial 10 games. Fell all the way down to 62 when I first started solo queuing. Then climbed back up over the course of the entire season pretty much. I hit a wall at 73 for a long time, and even fell back down to 68 before I would climb back up and just now break through.
2nd Edit: PSN, btw.

nice, who says you can't solo your way to the top? lol
Balancing around strictly top end players is why TF2's competitive situation has been fucked for years

Offensive heroes are actually better at defending than defense heroes. All the defense heroes are pretty underwhelming, except maybe Junkrat. Also, Genji is very good on defense.

FUCK SAKE!
Just had a game on Nepal where we were close to winning the first round when a team mate leaves, he was partied up with someone, who also leaves. We lose the round. Not surprisingly, it's 6 against 4. Someone else leaves before round 2. Fan-fucking-tastic!
The three of us who remain have well and truly been fucked up the arse.
Seriously. Just add in AI to fill the spots. It is not fair at all on those people who want to carry on playing. Just sitting in the spawn area for two straight rounds because we get absolutely swarmed on.
Sick of it.

Blatant too. What an idiot. Wasn't even one of those ones where you can't be sure he's not just really good.

Congrats, dude!
Wut? nah his movement as Widow is totally unnatural.

It's not even the Widow part. When he switches to soldier, notice how almost every bullet out of this clip is a headshot?
The Widow part is obvious because the screen is automatically moving itself in a split second to land the headshot, though.
I'm sure the game itself has shit hard coded into that to send flags to Blizzard.
If Headshot accuracy >80% send possible ban report.

Just something I have noticed, and I am sure others have as well, but the Hero gallery has changed configuration recently. After Ana the Hero Gallery was perfectly lined up with 11 on top 11 on the bottom row. Now there are 13 up top and 11 on the bottom leaving a space under each hero at the end of the top row. Could be nothing, but still weird change to make nonetheless.

It seems to be around 8 EST on Tuesdays.
Edit: maybe it's earlier like Kor said, not 100% sure.

Like 3pm Blizzard time. PST
you still need to hope to have good randoms to reach it. a shitty team ain't gonna help.

Quick question. Are you using X for her hover? If so, you can use L2 to do the same thing. I thought the same thing you did until I figured that out.

Possibly assets for a new olympic brawl? Tracer racing?
press L2.
Your internal MMR<your rank, nothing to do with those matches
. because while
is mostly true, if you're outplaying your level it's not really worth noting. Regardless of the randoms in the 50s and 60s for 3-4 teammates every match, I still was able to consistently do actions that could overwhelmingly be considered saving a match due to skill difference.
To reword, a good team can take someone to an high rank regardless of if everyone on the team individiaully is actually a worse rank, but solo queue will throw you where you need to be eventually.

Exactly where is starting at the top?
Because it feels like you're just waving away my accomplishments as if it wasn't a result of my working to better myself for over a month.
Pharah is my main, and I use the defautl scheme. But make sure you change your reticle color to help with some contrast.
i soloed for one match last night and ended up with a 5 man group. they were pretty terrible and struggled to take the capture point. they also kept splitting up for no reason. i was the one who ended up taking out 3 guys with my Ult and we captured the first point and it was the PotM. went into Sudden Death and these guys couldn't defend for shit. boy, that was frustrating. I had better luck with all randoms than with these group of guys.

FWIW 60s is high.
I played with friends who were 40s in placement so we placed rather low, then worked up to 70s after (the 3 of us who went on placed between 53 and 57 iirc)
not all pros place 70s instantly if they aren't in their pro team group from minute one.
5 man groups- either you grabbed 4 pros (my group yesterday where we ranked up a decent bit) or you grabbed 4 friends and want to die inside as you do mediocre because of vast differences in skill level.

Others are saying to press L2 but I'd go one step further and say map jump to L2 as well. The default is X can jump and hover while L2 can only hover, makes little sense to me. Plus you pretty much are never gonna hit X while using her, too awkward.

I hit 63 for the first time. 65 is so close, I need it.
Still, my stats are pretty poor. Do you guys think I can make it to 65?

Okay, so my reaching top 500 isn't as impressive, as someone else reaching top 500 because I started in the 60s?
I'm not understanding your point, I think.
Lol I just love how fast blizzard bans these idiots.
