I fucking hate that they do not pause the game and get more people in comp after three people leave...seriously you cannot win a game if that happens.

I need to get back to playing Comp before the end of the season.
I haven't been on in 4 days, though. 4 days is a lifetime in Overwatch.
It's a lose-lose scenario.
If you queue up and get stuck in a game where 3 people have already left, you're putting your rank on the line for who knows how much of a game that's already been played that you never had a say in.
The only way they could let this happen is if there were a separate "Opt In" queue where you were willing to be the backfill person.

I've managed to drag myself from nearly hitting 36 :d and a W/L of 42% to 47 and a W/L of 53.5%. I really want to get to at least high 50's but the struggle is real mostly solo queuing. I went a combo of 9-2 last night and this morning, then tonight I had the worst team mates ever and lost 4 straight
On the plus side I've got a free week so can grind from 84 to 101 for EZ XP and get more of those sweet summer lootboxes

I notice someone will pick support if needed. I just pick my main and hope for the best. The randoms usually know what's up.

In the annals of "Mei is Useless Trash Volume XXII," I just won a match because an enemy Mei blocked her team from the point (presumably by accident).

Junkrat and Mei have been all over the place in Quick Play recently. But rough when I just want to ninja all over the place and have to deal with bomb spam, traps, and snow freezing me.
Blizzard seriously needs to fix up how her ice walls work, because this is happening way too often.

I actually have trouble with this sometimes too.
Won 6 games in a row today and climbed back up to rank 50 from 45. Lowering the sensitivity improved everything. I'm now running at 800 dpi and 8 sensitivity in the ingame settings. Played with someone from gaf (Vulnicura, make sure to post here) and a friend which both played support and I mostly played S76. Felt so good.
I realized if I want to progress consistently past Rank 60 I pretty much have to accept to be Lucio 50% of my games, at least. I get very excited when there is someone who picks Lucio in the first 3 picks.
But then we are usually down a Tank, which I would rather play as anyway (Zarya or Rein). Or Zen if there is another Lucio.
Ana's are usually poor on PS4 due to aiming, and Mercy seems all but forgotten.

you'll hear the click if it's on you. i wish they would give them a few more seconds so you can scream in team chat to back the fuck away lol or when it's stuck on someone else you'll hear the click sound.

I'm personally switching between 5-7 at 800dpi at the moment depending on hero. I can't find the perfect spot so have settled at 7 for the time being as I'll play DPS or lucio most of the time. 8 felt a little too fast for me personally.
What characters do you play as usually?
It happens of course. I just had this Roadhog kill me three times in a game because whenever he got stuck with it he jumped on top of the payload and ran towards me.
I get that sometimes you don't see the big "STUCK!" message while fighting. But really, if it happens three times in one game, git gud.

Maybe I should decrease it to 7 just to try it. Might be even better but my mousepad isn't thaaaat big.
Lately I'm maining S76, Pharah, Winston, Tracer and Lucio.

Damn, nothing grinds my gears as much as "ez"
I wont say what I think those people that write it should do, for fear of getting banned. It's the dumbest trend I have seen in years of online PC gaming.

or salt
even though I did that once when my team half left after losing

I actually ended up buying a GSR mousepad couple weeks ago to replace my QCK so I've been lowering it as I have tons more room to work with. Wasn't able to go that low before as I think the QCK is around 1/4 or less the size.

Rank 53 solo q from 47 a few days ago. The grind is real.
I'd pretty much given up with soloing in Competitive, as no matter what I did to help my team, everyone had a hard on to leave the support hero to go off getting a kill streak. Yeah, I can tear people apart with Zenyatta or heal my allies as Lucio, but it's meaningless unless if you can actually collaborate with your team effectively.
Otherwise, it's just a headache to see everyone spread out thinly and get obliterated by the opposing team.

the reason why they keep doing it is because of doofuses like you who get upset
like, why do you care if a random internet person says that? it's like the easiest thing to ignore on earth

I still don't get why we can't see end game stats after a game. Especially in competitive. As a mainly solo queuer, I'd like to see who does decent and consider friend adding them.
I don't need to see exact numbers, but showing what medals people got would be cool.
This is a competitive game, we're not babies.

Are you playing the game on PC? I'm trying to get some more spuds to play with me, but it's lemons right now.
It's what idiots and children use when normal people would type gg. That's all it is. When your opponent says "ez" at the end of the match you just type back "ez".
You can't tell who's playing well based on playing with them? There's a kill feed and it's a team game, so it shouldn't be THAT difficult to separate the useless Genji from the MVP Lucio speed boosting you out of trouble every time.
I can confirm that, had 400 to 600 ping today.

I love how Zen went from being considered the worst hero in the game to arguably being the best now. And he will probably get nerfed again.
While I would love to see this too I suspect that the amount of salt this would generate isn't worth it for Blizzard.

Nice, insults here as well.
I do ignore them... now. It's not just the word, it's that there's people out there that write this shit, doesn't matter if they're on my team or theirs. You sound like a cunt writing it and probably are in real life as well.
Well, that's the only part of KotH that they played Sym on and that's the only one we lost. Once she switched to something else, we won the rest of the game.

The whole meta revolves around him right now. That's classic Blizzard balancing for you.

Don't show it in quick play, keep that casual. Competitive mode isn't casual though, and shouldn't be treated like it is.
My desk is constrained in size because of my studio monitor speakers. I have a Razer Sphex which is pretty good for my Roccat Kone mouse but If I move to far my cable is getting blocked by the speakers and thus alter my aim. The GSR looks nice but it's way too big for my desk. :-/
clearly you arent ignoring them if you have to complain about it this heavily
It's literally a reactionary thing. They arent going to do it if people arent going to take the bait. it's as simple as that.

I ended up moving my second monitor elsewhere because the GSR is a beast. Love that pad though. Kinda pricey compare to some but well worth the money IMO. Ended up switching to a ZA12 from a DA2013 and so far so good.

Writing about it here makes little to no difference, and it is an irrational irritation of mine that I thought I'd mention.
Maybe in an hour. Wanna play some and then watch the Olympics.

Symm outside of hybrid maps is a super greedy pick, I feel. Even on those KotH points I barely make it work.
