Sorry, I just realized you weren't the first response I quoted, but replied to another comment of mine.
Sorry for the confusion.
whether you placed high or not doesn't take away your ability to reach top 500 with randoms. i think everyone here has horror stories about playing with randoms so it's an accomplishment. you did good bro.
shame you don't wanna play with me in Comp. i would like to have a good Reaper on my team.
It's fine <.<
It wasn't directed at you at all, but at the "if you're good you'll eventually get out of the 30/40s alone" crowd. You started at 66 and went as "low" as 62, you have never experienced what it's like to be in the actual low levels solo queue.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.
What you did is still impressive, but the probability of incurring in teams that can't tell their heads from their asses is exponentially lower at that level so "working your way to the top" is not exactly representative of what you did considering that you started from an extremely high rank.
Your healing and ults for Lucio and Mercy are good but you need to cut down on your deaths. Maybe work on your positioning or if you are too aggressive with Lucio work on the wall riding so you can escape or just tone it down maybe.
Edit: two or three good wins from 63 should get you there so it's possible
Tbh, nowadays it actually IS easy to get out of the 40s. When skill rating gain was still bugged (like you would get NO rank if someone on the enemy team left but still lost a fuckload if someone on yours did) I fell from 52 to 37. Just got to 54 now and I barely lose any rank when I lose because of the internal MMR.
Like I'd win on rank 41 and gain almost a whole rank. I'd lose on 42 and lose maybe 10% if that.
It still sucks that I had to climb out of that pit because I get your point. If I had STARTED at 60, I'd probably not have fallen that low because people would have played better in general and there would be less leavers/ad players, enabling me to do what I did the past week from the beginning instead of just now.
But going from 62 to top 500 in solo queue is still an amazing accomplishment. I don't think I would've been able to do it even if it wasn't bugged in the beginning, but I might have made it to 65+ at least.

Quick play heavily favors attack now, even with solo q, right?
The whole game heavily favours attack right now.

Latest salty proposal: if you left a comp match more than five times in season one, you should be banned for the next three seasons.

No new brawl.
No Tracer race.
The dream of a Zarya minigame brawl is dead.
Others said it doesn't reset until later
Perhaps they should increase attack respawn time, and combine offence and defence classes into one. Or buff teleporter so that it's not laughably easy to destroy.

The entire defense category is next to useless and I cringe whenever someone picks a character from it.
So yeah.

Of course it will.
Two bastions stopped our qp team from taking the last point in Nubani payload.
Do we think Blizzard will nerf Genji or is it just people want him to be nerfed? I think i'd rather have a Winston buff. If Winston is a good counter to a very popular attack character then the counter to Winston can't be half the characters that exist.
No new brawl.
One more week of DEFENDEU, let's go.
Oh, didn't know you could hover with L2! Thanks.
Yea, did this a while ago, green is much better than the default white.
Here I got three tracer legendaries with no Zarya...

You can leave without a leaver penalty. You still get skill rank for the inevitable loss.
PC meta sounds really annoying. sometimes i wonder if i wanna double dip for the stuff you PC guys talk about
You totally should. Owning both versions I find the PC version to be a little bit faster and a little bit less frustrating (this is just me talking) simply because aiming is so much easier with a mouse and key presses with the keyboard don't ever really require rebinding or special hand movements. It's all right there on tap at every second.
And for selfish reasons, more Gaf folks on PC means more chance to group up! =)
I have no idea why they gave this line to Reaper specifically but Chick Hearn's original was just the best. I don't know of any sportscasters out there right now who have as much personality on a consistent basis. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVi98BZ2OwA
Tracer is worse. Goddamn she's annoying.

Her turrets definitely need a boost to be more effective. I feel like if you get tagged with 3 at the same time, there should be a slight damage boost. If it drops to 2 then it's the current individual damage, etc.
If not damage, at least something to make them more useful overall.
yea, the penalty actually pertains to the leaver penalty and not the loss = loss in XP. so yea, if you don't leave then you're gonna have to struggle through the match and waste your time cuz it's a struggle with 5v6 especially at higher ranks. better to just give up and let them win and get the match over with asap or fuck around and practice. i'm not leaving anymore if it instantly takes down my rank.

She's annoying but I feel like Genji actually kills me much more often.

I'm curious, has anyone here on PC got in the top 500 before?
I can try to get to 56 this season I guess, 2 ranks left... not that 40 CP is really worth the hassle right now. I don't know, I don't want gold weapons. Sigh.
Heck, if I played a fuckload I might even get to 60 but... 6 ranks in solo queue is a thing of luck. At my skill level (I mostly play Lucio and Support doesn't get as much rank as good Attackers do, sadly)
I really hope Season 2 doesn't start off with a week of leavers in every game again because that fucked me over sooo much.

Attack on Dorado.
Teammates pick Mei and Hanzo.
I hate human beings.

Not even true. Genji can wipe entire teams with little effort from that Ult. It causes way more damage than Tracer can.
Plus Genji can build up his Ult from safe distance. Tracer has to actually walk into the lions den to get involved.
Yeah, also Genji's Ult charge is crazy if he's any good at building it with distance shots. I once played Mercy and Genji had his ult up so often he sometimes killed me as soon as I got back to the team.
I started to just wait his ult out, res everyone after it because he would single me out of course. But a good Genji can have that Ult so often, it's ridiculous.
