What? Ths logic makes no sense. If a player has no experience in FPS gamed and OW is their first shooter, odds are they will be matched below 50 no matter what level they are. Why should anyone be worrying about that? That is their skill level. Raising the level requirement doesn't raise the skill floor of competitive at all. It just forces players who want to play with their friends to grind more Quick Play. Zzzzzz.

Quick question,
What was the shortcut to hide in game chat on PC? Does it also hide party/group chat?

So I've been thinking of interesting ranged weapon types they haven't utilized yet that would be cool to have, and some I thought of are: Boomerang, javelin, some sort of seismic wave/pulse (could be cool for Doomfist!), crossbow, flamethrower, slingshot, some sort of rebounding weapon that bounces between enemies like Captain America's shield or a sort of chain lightning attack.

The Vault, eh? Going the Disney route perhaps?
probably won't hide this away for 30 years, heh
going to be like WoW, events are annual. i've said it before but it would really be cool if (for a theoretical Halloween event) the maps get Halloween touches like in WoW, just simple things like jack o lanterns here and there.

Actually, she didn't use Rein at all, you can tell because her GA didn't go on cooldown. His noble sacrifice was in vain.

Motherfucker, got the high noon achievement while playing eichenwalde so that didn't count. :*(
Eichenwalde has so many high noon flanking spots though. So many.

Had that happen with both Undying and Game Over. I ended up getting them with little problem after a bit on live, though.
after they pass the bridge before the castle is the absolute best for High Noon. There is little counter if Rein is down. I love it.

Got the high noon at the last part. There's a little side route and I just took advantage of team fights.
That part right after attackers get the payload and are going up the road to the castle. Holy shit a mccree on top of the castle is deadly as fuck. Going to get so mad.
I've been thinking about maps again, wishing there were day and night versions for all of them. Cause a night time castle map would be awesome for Halloween

Had plans to get in on some good last minute loot grinding last night and then things came up. Didn't get a chance to get on at all.
I wanted the British flag Tracer but no dice. I did pull the red suit Zarya, Swedish Torb and Symmetra's killer emote.
Speaking of her, is there any word at all about reverting her turret nerf?

So they're going to have summer games loot boxes next summer as well, even though the olympics aren't happening? It'd be kind of cool to have some of the items be unattainable in the future, but I understand letting everyone get a chance at the stuff they want.

Hopped into a friends game who clearly has much higher MMR and holy crap is this game enjoyable when everyone is performing well and pick decent comps.
Had a similar game yesterday with great players and we were going back and forth on team kills on control, it's hard to describe but it just feels so much better when a team 'works'.

I barely play as Zarya on defend points even tho she is my "main" but decided to start
Good lord on Route 66 I used her and had a roadhog random on the team and it was just us on the front line...they never made it past the train. This was like some team usa basketball vs the world shit.
Just disgusting

Yeah, I love seeing another player pick Roadhog when I'm Zarya. A nice big target for me to stick my bubble onto and build my charge, as the two of us take turns soaking up damage on the front lines while the DPSers in the back whittle the enemies down.

NRG actually bootcamping! Curious to see how much this helps since so many other teams have seen big improvements after their bootcamps. Hopefully they have a good showing in the Overwatch Open playoffs.

Don't go to pixiv.
Never seen something so nasty of a tank combo like this. Thought Winston was a good one but big boy takes the cake.
I've lived on pixiv for far too long to worry about this now.
Telling you Harambe x Zarya just straight ends any pretense of fun. Shit is disgusting.

haha. yeah i just watched again she just healed him as he fell. RIP
Just played as Genji on Hanumura defence and the Ana we had was just so bad. She nano boosted me twice whilst there was absolutely no one on the first point or at best, a Tracer. So when it came to the final 20 seconds, they made a big push and everyone died except me and I only managed 3 kills with Dragonblade before being taken down. I probably would've wiped the Roadhog and Reinhardt with the nano boost.
Luckily we still won the game. Reaper came in clutch as usual. He's just so good against everything that isnt McCree lol.
Yup. I wish I could change it to Skii but I guess I'll be eternally stuck with a name I made almost 10 years ago haha.
What's your PSN name? Either way, lets try to group up when we're online next time

Hehe, this is what I get for posting while trying to fight off a migraine headache while at work. Now that I go back and read what I wrote it really doesn't make a lot of sense, does it? My apologies. Yesterday afternoon and evening were just bad.
I don't agree. I think it has the best synergy with other ults but I think Mercy's ult (which can undo anything an offensive ult might do as long as she is alive) is more powerful overall.
The thing with Zarya is, she isn't powerful on her own. She is an enabler. She can make plays happen but requires constant line of sight and attention to everything that is happening around her. She has great synergy as long as she has at least a few teammates that are sticking fairly close.
So on a good team she's at her best but with new, bad or just plain disorganized players your mileage will vary greatly. In such situations you would be better served with a Roadhog who is able to "solo" more effectively as a tank or just pick Tracer and dictate every encounter.
I'm not picking on you Anne but I find the whole "Harambe" thing to be really offensive. I've seen it show up in games recently and I think it is hugely disrespectful considering the outcome of that situation. I know the internet is going to internet but we don't necessarily have to stoop to that level do we?

PTR, my man. Smaller player pool but it's good practice.
Not sure which of the new Rein skins I want to get. The weathered one is neat but gold is gold...
I personally can be aboard some of the internet stuff with this one for reasons, but if you're sensitive to it I won't use it.

But with the weathered one is more appropriate when you do the kneeling animation when the final stage starts.

Was playing a match with Hanzo where an enemy Junkrat did his annoying panic mine defense thing where he blows us into the sky, unfortunately for him it blew us parallel to eachother so I just shot him in the head as we were flying in the air heh heh.
It was funny cause its like he KNEW it was coming as time kind of froze for that split second we were staring at eachother in the air. In the same round I made a Tracer quit the match. I really wish I had recorded that. I should have never put Hanzo down but it was getting way too toxic. Hell the first time I picked him up again after a good month and a half of not playing him I got some toxicity despite saving my team from a Genji ult and a Rein charge.

If I'm being overly sensitive I apologize. It isn't my intention to rain on anyone's parade.
I appreciate your consideration. For some reason when I think about "Harambe" I get mad and sad at the same time.
Also, Winston is one of my faves. =)
Same. I'm glad I started learning him recently, he's really fun and really good. I like saying "I'm gonna go start a fight over there" and basically never being wrong about it lol

So now the Xbox needs an update just as I'm about to try for at least one more loot box.
It's like the whole world is conspiring against me.
