Yea, I've had a couple of those that go 3 rounds and then Sudden Death. Losing those are truly mood killers, lol. If 2 teams go 3 full rounds and a SD, obviously they were pretty damn even, so to give one of them a massive XP loss is crazy to me.

Not only is leaver XP still broken, and Roadhog hook still broken pulling people in random spots, but Roadhog ult is apparently STILL broken.
I was ulting at a high angle today and about to kill an enemy near the roof -- then bam, the ult jumped to 100% vertical, causing me to miss the remaining shots.

Lucio, Roadhog, Zarya and Winston are all made for that map too.
Zarya and Lucio are pretty much made for every map

My hanzo should be nowhere near getting gold in elims.
If I have gold eliminations and it's 2 eliminations, 5 minutes into a map, chances are my team isn't good.
I feel like most games I win I only have bronze or so. If I have 3+ golds, chances are I'm losing.
These aren't games where the scores are low...

Just won like four games using 4-5 Meis' with some gaffers. Mei is indeed bae.
Who said anything about the scores being low? Did I misread?
My problem with the time bank is that any time under 2 min gets bumped to 2 min. It's stupid. If you run out 9.5 min of their 10 mins they should have 30 seconds to try to cap A or they should lose, not be gifted 1.5 min to try. It gives them a chance they don't deserve. Or if you're going to bump them up 1.5 then give 1.5min to the other team as well.

Overwatch GAF please explain to me the thought process of Blizzard when they implemented this, or is there a link explaining this because it makes no sense at all to me.
I was playing in a competitive match with a friend of mine, grouped up with 4 other randoms on Valskya, we won on attack and then went into defense and lost which ended up being a tie so we went to sudden death on attack. Before we even started the 4 players on our team quit, firstly wtf and secondly it was now 2 vs 6. The game said that we could leave within a minute and then eventually said we can leave without penalty but we would take the loss. Anyway we decided if we going to take a loss anyway we might as well just play. Friend distracted them and I flew around the side to capture the point, however we only managed to get half the point as 2 vs 6 was just too much and we lost.
Anyway after the match our rank bar went down by almost half, a bit annoying but we would have lost the match anyway even if we quit. However the BS comes in on the next match, we win the match however 1 person on their team quits like 20 seconds before the end so it was 6 vs 5 anyway we win this match but out rank meter barely even moves up. So I love over half a meter for playing in a 2 vs 6 match but gain basically nothing in a 6 vs 5 match. WTF is this BS?
If there is a reasoning behind this I would love to know as I recorded this and am thinking of submitting to Blizzard to ask them the reasoning behind this.

I hope Mercy ends as a villain
Me too. She started giving me the creeps after I saw that no pulse emote.
She is not what she seems.
Because your rank is an ELO, so if you win against a very equally ranked team it only goes up a but but a loss against a worse team will cost a lot.
This isn't LoL or Hearthstone where your rank is strongly dependant on game time.
A lot of peole got ranked too high in placement so the slog down is not so fun. I hope my own fall will soon stop.

It's a "bug" that they tried to patch but failed to do so in all instances. Should eventually get fixed.

Well that is very annoying, thanks. At least it is being looked at.
As much as I love Overwatch, the lore isn't exactly the deepest or the greatest.

Last weekend felt like I travelled back into the past. Most of the games I played had 8 of the 12 players be Widowmakers, Hanzos and Reapers. I had hoped that public Quick Play matches had moved on from this.
From my experiences, I think it happens when people are jumping when you hook onto them. A good Lucio being a jumpy mofo makes him indeed an annoying target for Roadhog. I seem to sling more Junkrats past me than Tracers though.
I do 4-5 matches a day, that's all I need. I can't play a video game more than two hours/day nowadays.
It's still new. It'll get there with time.
Even though I had a string of losses just now, I'm not so mad because they earned it for the most part. Except the team that set that loss streak off, which was just a team of torbjorns.
Remember, if you want to broadcast to the world how inadequate you are in the bedroom unless there a dead dog and a picture of Hitler to help maintain your arousal, stack a team of torbjorns.

Like do they actually though? Because i had a mercy game where i basically jumped a whole level.
Just so a post on the Blizzard forum I found interesting.
When people will start to have a golden gun for a character, I suppose they will buy it for their favorite / main / most played.
Will this influence their decision to switch in game and stay with that character for everyone to see ?

I played two games last night with a friend as Mercy and got less XP both times (both wins). Quite a bit less actually. I was 56, he was 58
I just don't understand. Do we know what the point gain is based on, should it just be flat for everyone based on win or loss?

So true. And i am becoming that Tracer. lol
But last few days i prefer Hanzo for some reason. He wasn't interesting to me at all, but not anymore. I am learning him and he is amazing hero.

They had this in beta. People complained.
Now that's a wombo combo. Zarya/Mei + Hanzo/DVa/Hog/Pharah/whatever is baby level.

They already nerfed him by making both his hook and ult buggy as fuck m
yeah playing roadhog can be incredibly frustrating with all the hook inconsistency. You can hook a small/medium sized hero and they land perfectly infront of you and you kill them, then the next time they end up crouched or lower down somehow so your shot goes over the top, like what? How is that even a thing? That's not even counting the amount of people that get hooked that end up behind you or to the side, or the people you've hooked who bounce off a step and end up miles away, and so on. The hook is a piece of shit but it goes both ways.
Pharah mirror match is so damn frustrating. We just ended up missing each other until someone sinks to the ground and hope we can take them out that way. Really sucked that no one in my group last night played Soldier to take them out. I was literally one of the top players who was consistently taking out the enemy players in Comp as I was raining justice. I can't do everything.

Nah pharrah sky battle are a lot of fun, especially when you land direct hits. So satisfying.
Yea, but it takes away from focusing on the enemy team on ground. It's a distraction more than anything. And no, it's not fun. We were just constantly flying around each other for a few rematches until I decided to just quit focusing on her and going after the ground guys again. She eventually gave up too. I guess we both hated trying to kill each other, lol
