SaltyPhish and Muselk have great videos for humor but not usually much insight. I think Salty is rank 70 or something now though.

I also think he's responsible for all the teabagging that has started happening recently.

I had a new file that is basically a buffer for the next upcoming patch. It's probably for the new content that will be released in the upcoming months.

I was called a bad Genji. Felt bad, man.

Then I got PotG with Genji in a later game. Felt good, man.


Genji is definitely the most surprising hero for me. I never expected to like such a precision-based hero (since I have terrible aim) but I've only gotten better with him over time, to the point where I'm actually a nuisance sometimes! (And occasionally deadly, too!) Playing him has lows, but glorious highs as well.

Yeah, just steamrolled a team on KotH with two Widows. In the game chat afterward:

Teammate: "Your first problem was having 2 Widowmakers"
Me: "And your second problem was having 1 Widowmaker"

I'm starting to feel the same way about Ana, too. Seems like whenever there's one on my team, and especially when they're the sole healer, it's inevitably a loss.

Ana needs a serious buff... She is basically a non-factor.

Really want an Unranked mode.

Fighting a whole team of DVa was stupid. A team of all 76s. 3 Torbs and a Bastion and a Sym. 2 Rein, 2 Hogs. Etc

Even when you beat them it feels like wasted time due to the unfun factor.

ana needs zero buffs. she's a high skill level character and most people in solo queue don't play her well. and she attracts the bad sniper crowd.
Click to expand...
I've never seen her played well, in QP or Competitive (granted I never went higher than 55).

She works as a backup healer, but alone she's worthless.

Okay, I think I'm just gonna go ahead and take a break.

Stacking is stupid fucking goddamn shit spewing from anus horseshit. And while I appreciate the more casual "pick whatever you want" atmosphere, that comes with a good dosage of "Why would you do that? Why would you EVER do that?" players.

Plus, new Deus ex. Should be fun.

there game needs to just print in giant obnoxious size letters across the screen "the point is being take" for people. How can some people be this dumb?

No one should actually solo healer, to be clear.

Solo heal is OK on lower levels but double heals is airways the most optimal.

With the exception of Genji and Widowmaker, I like every defense hero more than every offense hero. From personalities to kits.

I mean I still play the offense heroes because I want to win. But it's against my will.

It's next to impossible to get double healer in qp unless you're in a group.

If you have a Lucio and you pick Zen 8/10 times the Lucio will switch over to a DPS Hero.

Same thing applies to Tanks too though to a lesser degree.

What's considered "lower levels"? Below 60 MMR?

Pretty much... You get Lucio or Zen, never both. I would love to play other heroes, but sometimes that means we go without a healer.

I get that Blizzard wants people to choose whoever they want, but my god is an exercise in absolute frustration sometimes.

I just had a QP match where the entire enemy team was Lucio...

Uh ok. Free stat farming, I guess.
Click to expand...

That's the other thing I hate about qp. I get it, its the mode where you have free reign over everything but some of us are trying to use it as a means to practice for Comp.

You know team comps, ult timings, positioning etc. Blizzard really should implement some other form of play so all the people who could not care less about that stuff could go flood that instead.

Sure but how would we know? It's not like the discord is all that useful for getting groups together and the few "high level" players that are there are so exclusive about who they play with there's literally no point in even asking.

People don't know how to utilise Mei's Ice Wall properly,they are too quick too spam the wall blind the moment they took damage screwing over their teammates.

When to use Mei's Ice wall:
-Block off enemies barrage attacks at choke points so your teammates can filter to left and right flanks

-Block off ults such as D.va, Pharah, McCree

-Seperate enemy team to pick them off easier

-Block off KOTH choke points to allow your team to cap the point.

-Only if you are the only one left against a team. If there is a team with you, just take the death instead of walling off your teammates chance to wipe the team with their ult.

so many people are going to come crying to genji once this patch goes live. hanzo is going to make genji pre-nerf look like a non-threat in comparison if this shit goes live.

you mad because Genji killed you during an ult? Hanzo don't even need the ult.

I feel the exact same way. People (Reddit) complain about Genji wiping fools with his ult. Now they'll have to deal with Hanzo straight up murking people around corners, half across the map, point blank etc. etc.

Hell they've even started complaining about Zarya of all people.

We've got some groups going with the discord :<

I'm inone right now, I'll invite to our groups or customs regardless of SR. If we wanna do comp, that is a diff story though.

Don't think he meant that literally. Just that the enemy team wasn't trying, so he'd just fuck around and most likely inflate his stats a bit.
Click to expand...

Yea, it definitely wasn't on purpose... just the opposite team decided it'd be "fun" to play all Lucio for the duration of an entire Payload map. O.O I'm reminded of TF2 where people could have some crazy stats because of all the custom game modes and dicking around.

Wonder if Blizzard will allow resetting stats in a similar fashion, at least for QP.

Yep. I'm reminded why I rarely solo queue QP because of experiences like this, lol. If I was with a group, maybe I could've laughed about it but I was practically falling asleep the entire time.

Won't matter with the new ranked system anyway.

I only do this if I'm with a full group of friends.

They do the same to me too, so it's all good.

Bastion is featured on the ESL ad on the launcher

Funny, because if you just watched that stream you wouldn't even know Bastion was in the game.

I'm still getting used to quickly placing walls to isolate people or block ults but I often fuck up, over or under shooting the placement. It's why I can't get too annoyed by Mei's walling where it actually ends up hurting the team because you can usually guess what they meant to do unless they're straight up griefing.

The most important thing is that hitting E again will bring the wall down.
