Damn you quoted a semi old post there lol.

Well, I have nothing wrong with trying to do whatever you can to win, but if the other team has 3 Winston counters, and only one person that Winston actually counters(Genji) than you're probably better off staying Lucio and supporting the team. But, it's QP, do what you want to do, I just get annoyed over silly things.

Oh no worries, I was genuinely interested in what to do. We were getting mauled, and everyone was scattered, so my Lucio was doing no good (I play a Heal, Defend, Harass Lucio). I just got frustrated, I guess. Plus I really am trying to get better with Winston, so any practice is a good idea.

I guess my question is: what was wrong with taking Lucio? Should I go Mercy in that situation (I'm just okay with her)? Why?

 

[toastyToast]

I see that Genji has the best laugh emote. Probably to make up for the nerfs

 

[TheThinWhiteDuke]

give D.Va a Gundam w/ a laser sword & guns that do the same damage as her pistol, plz.

Or let us start out of our mek, and get in during the planning stage if we want, or stay out and potshot from the spawn if we don't. So many Meis and Hanzos and Widowmakers and Junkrats would be dead if I could that.

 

[Ampersands]

Just played an hour on the new stage and it's really good. A lot of flanking paths so choke points aren't as common as some of the other maps. It feels like a KOTH stage in a way.

Oh and the new Reinhart skins are sick.

Laughing a himself.

 

[Hellix]

Man, placement matches are so shitty.

 

[Plywood]

Gold elims, Objective Gold Elims, salty comments from players about my Hook, still lose. :[

 

[MarioHead3]

It is insanely common in Battlefield, Call of Duty and Rainbow 6, I can't imagine Overwatch being much different. The only exception is probably Halo due to how the game's movement and aim mechanics work.

PC is the lead platform for Overwatch, so I imagine most people would just play that version instead of going out of their way to use M/KB on console.

It's probably about as common as cheaters in the PC version. Like, sure it's technically a thing that some people do, but not any sort of super widespread issue.

 

[Antiwhippy]

A less cynical version is probably that the PS4 is what they could afford instead of a gaming PC, and they still want to use KBM?

You don't need a super strong PC to run Overwatch, and I can't imagine someone preferring M/KB if they don't already usually play on PC. I'm sure they realize that it's basically cheating.

 

[exYle]

Fuck me, my D.Va dove something like 600 ranks on Overbuff.

 

[Greddleok]

if you manage to reach Master or Grandmaster and you encounter those assholes, i wouldn't hold it against you.

Heh, that's unlikely.

 

[Officer.Sanchez]

Solo comp doing placement matches

First match: team of randoms (including me) against 2 premade groups , we lose.

Second match: team of randoms (including me) against a premade of 5 , 3 on my team leave, we lose

Back to brawl.

 

[Don Draper's Hat]

People rage quitting because the first minute hasn't quite gone their way.

Coming up against teams of 2 groups of 3 when my side has all solo players.

How I've missed competitive mode.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Aaaaand we've transitioned from complaining about QP to complaining about competitive.

 

[ekim]

The constraint of being not able to team up with players +-500 of your own rank applies to your current rank and not your highest achieved tier, right?

 

[Moonkid]

When 2 kills merit you the gold medal ;_; I'll take the loss on that one @Jellie/Undignify lol

That's probably fair reasons. But some people just want to see the world burn I guess.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Two snipers on attack, both useless as fuck.

I'm done with comp, i can't deal with this shit anymore.

 

[Jellie]

Ouch. I joined quite late. Was your team that bad?

I feel you bro. I got a Torb and a sniper ON attack ON kings row. Totally useless.

I've never had a problem with Quick Play. We all know what we're getting there. Quick Play is basically a mode to piss about in. Try out new characters and new techniques. I have no problem with Quick Play.

I do have a problem, though, with losing in Competitive Mode because people on my team quit and the rest of us are completely up against it from that point on. Just add an AI character! I do have a problem with being matched against a group of people who have each been promoted over 3 times whilst the highest ranked player in my team - a team full of randoms mind you - is a one star. Give us solo queue and team queue options. Is that really asking too much?

 

[duckroll]

I don't understand the masochistic appeal of wanting to rush into Comp solo and then crying at how bad the random team is. Why not just wait until friends are free, arrange a time to play together, and do placements that way?

 

[PayOffWizard]

Damn!! These are actually quite nice.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Dva poster on hanamura pls.

We started with 2 Genjis...I'll leave it at that xD

Was getting loads of lag. About a second delay.

what if one has no friends...

my friend list are not playing anymore for some time now, they're playing wow...

If only there was a community where you could meet like minded people.

Yeah, it really shouldn't take more than season 1 to learn that lesson. Solo queuing comp just isn't worth it.

Ooo that's a bit rough.

 

[FatCatAttack]

Playing Hanzo feels like starting all over with learning him again which is both exciting and frustrating. My muscle memory is completely out of wack because it's use to the slow arrow. Had some nice games with him though curiously enough I got threatened with a "I'm gonna walk down mid and feed" terrorist when picking him again. Guess he's gonna carry that bad rap forever. Which suits my hipster nature just fine.

The early days of comp are always gonna be weird because you'll get people who want to try it out but aren't interested in it for the long term. Most people play in quickplay and won't give a hoot if they get banned for the season by leaving or trolling.

 

[Jellie]

Ooo that's a bit rough.

Dunno if it helps or not as tracer cos the enemy against a laggy tracer might be awful to face.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Wow, Hanzo feels much better now.

Having a blast with him.

Spoiler

i hanjo

 

[KiraFA37]

Off course the update goes live just as I log off. Guess tonight might be placement night! Any gaffers wanna group up later today (8-9 CEST)

...
I think I got an request from that name as well but I tried accepting it and it told me they had too many friends. Couldn't find it on the spreadsheet either so I don't know who it could possibly be.

Ahh thanks, I'll put him under "possible GAF".

 

[maomaoIYP]

Hahaha, love the messed up stats.

Spoiler

I haven't even played with this account in over a week.

 

[Maddocks]

I was so close to diamond. 2485. But now im around 2460-70. Haven't checked my last match as I left soon after.

This is the season I play season 2 almost exclusively, since it has so many tiers, really no pressure and I just want the gold weapon.

 

[Moonkid]

When I encountered you it didn't seem that bad if that's indicative of anything.

Was my end only. Aussie servers don't like UK people on them. I went 9-1 in Anubis and 12-1 in Hollywood so didn't get too many eliminations compared to others on my team but I guess I did join later. As soon as I solo queued I got put up against a 4 man level 400+ top 500 team on route 66.

Spoiler

We won in overtime. Went 32-6 😃

 

[TrueBlue]

Has PS4 received the patch yet?

I'm actually just over in NZ haha, the plot thickens *_*

That's still a great k/d though, decent as! I really should work on minimizing deaths and being more conservative with my lives.

Don't think so.

Close enough.

Low kills and low deaths just suggests you didn't do much all game or the game didn't last long. But in this example I didn't contribute.

Exciting times

New sitting poses, laughing emotes, legendary skins and emotes to look forward to in lootboxes.

Hypu

My friends probably only have time for ranked on the Weekends for Season 2.
So if anyone wants to climb the ladder with me in a more serious way on PC or a group still having a spare slot, just add me.

I strongly prefer to play with people in comp with voice chat.

I'm very confident in playing these chars:
- Soldier 76
- Junkrat
- D.Va
- Winston
- Lucio

Less so, but still good with:
- McCree
- Pharah
- Tracer
- Hanzo (still have to adapt to the changes)
- Roadhog
- Zenyatta

Not really good, not really bad with:
- Genji
- Reaper
- Bastion
- Zarya
- Mercy

Scrub tier:
- Mei
- Torb
- Widowmaker
- Reinhardt
- Ana
- Symmetra

Season One didn't go too good for me mainly due to playing solo Q after my placement matches which tanked my rank to 43 but in the last week I got back up to 50.

edit: last time I asked for players here, people weren't able to add me for some reason. So if you have trouble, shoot me a PM.

Look.

These 9000 coins have got to do something.

Comp Story
Beat enemy team at Gibraltar in first round in a smooth push, one of the enemy rage-quit. Then teammates got cocky, one of them even starts playing Hanzo. We lost the game 6v5.
