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.

I feel like the new support meta is going to be zen+other, because discord is still freaking strong.

At least it's not only zen+lucio.

I've definitely noticed the Zen nerf. Discord is still strong, but now it feels like it needs much more team focus fire than before. Previously, as Zen as long as I discord and shoot at an enemy and land some hits, I can rely on auxiliary damage from the rest of my team to finish an enemy off easily, even if they're not specifically targeting who I discord. Worked with randoms too.

Is Lucio that bad now? Or just balanced with other support.

From what I've seen he's still used in koth because group fights in tight areas is where he excels in, but his healing is used more now instead of being a speed boost fight initiator.

Deathballing with speedboost doesn't seem to be the default meta now for every single map, every single mode, and every single fight.

Is it too early to say what the meta will be. The changes are all the same as PTR so people have had time to play around. I hope it's not a mercy meta now.

Oh defo, I'm just commenting on what I've seen on streams, but the lucio deathball strat isn't as prominent anymore.

Mercy meta is back though.

In my opinion it definately feels that Mercy + 2nd supp witll be prevalent.Payload maps might use Mercy+Zen while on KOTH it might be Lucio+Mercy.Mercy got an amazing buff right now.In certain strats u might fit a Mercy+Ana if u want or tripple support like Mercy+Zen+Lucio might be godly

Mercy buff is higher heal output and being able to move while resurrecting, right?

Reported someone for the first time last night. Dude was some level 13 Hanzo on my Eichenwalde Brawl team constantly screaming at the enemy team that they were cheaters and constantly screaming at us for being words that I won't repeat here and allegedly reported us for being traitors and "allowing" the other team to win. Like, I almost thought it was all one big joke and/or he's age 13 to match his level or something, but then I remembered that there's no excuse regardless.

She could already move while rezzing in the previous buff I think. They reduced the time it takes to move if you are rezzed as well as the heal buff.

30% attack buff for the whole team on priority targets + being an even better dps still makes zen compulsory honestly. Plus he's a better Healer for characters like tracer and reaper who are attacking away from the main group constantly.

I still don't think mercy would be as good for koth.

KotH: Lucio/Zen
Payload: Mercy/Zen
Assault on attack Anna/Lucio
Assault on defence Zen/mercy
Does that sound likely?

The most surprising things to me us mei's popularity and that there's Pokemon go porn.

Like.

How does that even work?

Are you talking about rule 34 of the gym leaders themselves, or that incorporates people playing Pokemon Go. Because honestly neither would be terribly surprising, the internet is real good at porn-ifying stuff.

If I ever post something in Japanese which I don't understand, please BAN me.
Just had the play of my life with Junkrat where i defended the payload against 5 enemies alone and we won.

But of course "press Q to win" gets Play of the Game.

Yes if you like online shooters with class systems.

I feel that Overwatch really transcends that. It's an online shooter with a hero system. Something which I think is still fairly new. Comparisons to stuff like TF2 is really just superficial.

Just consider how we continue to debate how some characters simply shouldn't be classified the way they are. :)

Sony leaked the Summer Games Event early because they listed the lootboxes before it was time. This is divine punishment from Blizzard.
