It's shocking how awful the community for this game is in competitive. And that's coming from somebody with thousands of hours in Dota 2.

I play pretty much every hero, I don't main anybody or spam pick Insta lock the same hero. But of the five or six times I've picked Widow in competitive, only ever on defense, I've immediately been hit with multiple people raging or flaming.

What is wrong with the pick on defense? Nothing. Never was it the second sniper for the team. Half the time I end up with multiple golds and we win. My Widow winrate is above 75%. People are just intolerable.

leaver penalty XP for winning teams is still BS. thought they said it was gonna be fixed. PS4 here.

I played a game last night where one guy was on mic just blasting the guy on our team playing Hanzo. Ordering him to change because he sucks etc. We ended up losing but the only player who got a card to vote on at the end was the Hanzo for dealing 35% of our damage or something.

 

[B-Dex]

What why?

Not sure but I'm getting less than before maintenance. 135 so for gold medal now.

 

[J Range]

Is d va viable now? Im not sure her buff is that great

 

[GraveRobberX]

You guys do realize the patch and Ana are PC only...

They aren't live for consoles

Because 9 out of 10 widow players are shit. If the enemy team is behind a rein shield there are way better picks. We have a tf2 sniper pro on our team and even he says widow is usually not a good pick on defense most of the time depending on the map.

Not sure where anyone said otherwise?

 

[Stone Ocean]

Oh, interesting. Ana's rifle is hitscan while scoped but bullets have a travel time if you fire from the hip.

 

[Data West]

God damn I hate playing mother fucking Roadhog on Payload.

'Opponent near the payload, on the payload, behind the payload, under the payload, thinking about being by the payload, once dated a payload? Fuck you Hog, clip to the side.'

 

[Antiwhippy]

So, verdict on Dva for the people who have played with the buffs?

Because I don't see how making her a pseudo reinhardt really works when dashing in close is still a major factor of how she's played, and she still kinda gets exposed when she's attack in close?

 

[Gurrry]

The quitter thing needs to be addressed more quickly than this. The fix they thought they had is clearly not working.

I dont understand why they allow someone who quits to immidietely requeue. I just had a guy quit on my team, then after the timer ran out, all of us left "without penalty".

Then in my very next game, that same guy that quit before is on the opposing team, and quits on them. We win, get 0 mmr change.

Why is he allowed to rejoin another game after obviously quitting on the one seconds before. This entire system needs an emergency fix. Ive had about 5-6 games at rank 44 where stomp them, someone on their team quits, and we get barely any xp.

Wins are already hard to come by as a solo queuer. Dont reward quitters by letting them take advantage of this bug. Fucking ban them or put their re-queue time on a long ass wait. I dont understand why this is so hard.

 

[MG310]

Managed to swing it back from 2-0 on Nepal.

I'm good for tonight.

I havent played so i dont know, but anas tranq gun seems like a pretty powerful ability. It can negate any ult, and pretty much set up an opponent to die, from a body shot of a tranq gun? Auto stop any ambush on you, and most shenanigans other heros possess, like mei's freeze

 

[Zemm]

I hate when using Zenyatta that enemy targets have those big red lines around them, really puts my aim off because of it. There needs to be an option to toggle it.

I mean roadhog does basically the same thing already.

What I've seen on some pro streams and hearing them talk about is they love Dva now. Will use her on certain maps instead of Rein and don't discount her ult being shorting by a sec and not killering her now either.

 

[Sou Da]

Lol, Ana's line if you sleep dart an ulting Pharah

"I think Justice needs a little nap"

 

[Mr Nash]

I wonder how many Mercys that never got protected by their teammates will try their hand at Ana and try to heal in (hopefully) safe cover.

Huh, that's good to hear. I'm guessing she's better for maps with more chokepoints to seriously negate junkrat/pharah poking?

 

[J Range]

Similar but not wuite. Roadhogs hook can bring inconsistent results ie-tracer and lucio hook to the side of you and get away, missing the kill shot, or just being ineffective against larger health enemies.

It sounds like this is a much more efficient weapon. Hit them and they fall asleep.

NO WAY lmao, that's adorable

I don't feel it's as easy to use as it sounds. It's a projectile with a travel time, can be blocked and etc. It's hilarious against other snipers though, you just remove them from the game for 6 seconds.

What I've seen on some pro streams and hearing them talk about is they love Dva now. Will use her on certain maps instead of Rein and don't discount her ult being shorting by a sec and not killering her now either.

Her ult not killing her anymore is huge. It gives a really good purpose for her human form, you can leave it to blow and instead of trying to run for cover get some damage on while they run away.

But they wake from even the smallest tickle of a damage while roadhog can outright kill a lot of characters with one combo.

It's kinda weird how Ana has no headshots, I'd like to know the reasoning behind it. She's the only character with no beam weapon that can't headshot.
If she finds herself on a 1vs1 and she has no sleep dart ready, she's pretty much dead.

Because she has a stun, an area of heal denial that also heals and damages, and a goddamn ubercharge. Ranged ubercharge even.

Gotta give her a weakness somehow.

Were you playing the Brawl? For some asinine reason the brawl gives less XP.

beam or rocket/nade character, they also dont have headshots

Well, those can't help her when she's on her own, she doesn't even have any escape mechanics. Even Mercy's puny pistol is more deadly.

I forgot about Junkrat but, fuck me, I didn't know about Pharah, I've started using her only recently but I'm always aiming for headshots when I'm close enough.

Oops. Yeah I was. The brawl this week is Mobawatch. One of each hero per team no switching. 😆

This is all I'll be playing this week.

Get the right team setup and if the other team chose poorly

RIP in Pieces, finish match way too quick

 

[Data West]

Mobawatch

Play Tobjorn, Bastion, and Reinhardt on defense

you will never lose. Ever.

Throw in a Mercy to buff the Bastion and res during emergencies. Symmetra for teleports and her turrets slowing targets down for Bastion. And maybe Junkrat to spam grenades at one entrance forcing them to go towards Bastion (and to also trap targets for Bastion to tear apart).

 

[Prelude.]

Yeah, now I checked on Furious Paul's guide. I wish I did that before though.

 

[Apathy]

If ever in doubt, training mode, shoot the bots in the head, if the reticle turns red on hit, it's a headshot. Also i mentioned it cause I had already tested it

 

[Satch]

LMAOOOO. I PUT A MCCREE TO SLEEP DURING HIS HIGH NOON LIKE IN THE VIDEO AND WE JUST LEFT HIM THERE WHILE WE PUSHED THE PAYLOAD

 

[Dead Prince]

How long are they knocked out for
And do they lose ult

 

[therealminime]

Ana seems pretty neat.

How long are they knocked out for

7, 8 seconds there about.

 

[Apathy]

How long are they knocked out for

Think it's like 5 seconds or until they take damage

 

[Dead Prince]

That's long.c an their mercy heal wke them up or only damage

 

[maouvin]

Final match on Volskaya, and my ISP decides to fuck up and I'm kicked from Battle.net. Even the website didn't open anymore (as well as several other websites, like GAF).

My team still won the 5x6, but gained almost no rank :/ is it normal to gain almost nothing if you win after a teammate dropped off?

 

[mreddie]

[Ramirez]

Hope the patch hits next week, double Reaper on console KOTH is the lowest of lows in this game right now.

I hit 70 again, and immediately I'm matched with a Torb KOTH player, smoked 3-0, back to 69! So satisfying.

Yes. The leaver system right now is completely broken.

They really need to fix this thing now. Im getting quitters every other game and its ruining the experience.

only damage. it sucks being asleep when no one attacks you rofl

Cheers. I thought it only screwed up for the team that didn't have a leaver, but oh well.
