A lot of players don't realize that there is this flanking route in last push; http://imgur.com/a/j9ZJ0

Just had 4 or 5 losses in a row where my team pushed the payload all the way to the last five meters and then gave up all semblance of skill and floundered around fucking up for the last 5 minutes. Every. Time. Ended a game where every single one of my teammates had their ults up in the last 30 seconds and none of them used them.
Quitting for the night because goddammit I'm pissed off.

She really is.
The first chokepoint is basically a mini hanamura.
Final stretch is a constant blizzard warning.
Yeah, she's good.

Placement done, 7-3, 2803, platinum tier. I don't really know how this system works but that's pretty close to 2500, so pretty meh, right?
Did they stealth buff ult gain rate for Mei or are Mei players just more trigger happy with their ult now that timing and aiming it isn't so important thanks to radius buff? In few games felt like that Mei ulted every 20 seconds.
Edit: Also love it how Mercy's healing buff made it impossible for Winston to kill player you are healing
Zipping and zapping e.g. Reaper with his lightning gun, but Reapers HP just don't move downwards even inch.

Though seriously, nothing has changed about her other than the ult and people are bandwagonning.
She has always gained it really fast. Last patch made self healing build ult so she gained it even faster now.

Reload exploit? You mean animation cancel by timing melee strike? I hope they don't remove it tbh, gives some advanced stuff to Reaper and gives skill ceiling little boost.
Edit: Like they one point removed Mercy's ability to GA to dead allies because they felt it was too confusing mechanic. That removed a lot skill ceiling and play possibilities from her so community demanded it to be put back.

That doesn't exist. Proven to be still the same reload times.
I feel like I'm hitting sightly more but nothing drastic. Except that my shots don't completely go through frozen targets sometimes now.

The Reaper reload "exploit" hardly does anything. It just lets you get some melee damage in. It's effectively worthless, unless you need the punch in that moment.
You'd probably have to play out of your mind to place in Master/GM...I doubt Diamond is rough, lol.

I know Overbuff is fucked up right now, but I don't care. I'm going to immortalize this moment.

I've won on attack quite a bit, but those times were more often than not me coordinating a breakthrough as ana. Pubs still don't know how to deal with a nano boosted rein or rampaging genji, or even a boosted reaper.
Also won one time getting a 4 man dead eye leading to a team wipe using one of the flanking routes at the final stretch. That was sweet.

I looked on master overwatch and it seems no one placed in master. I'm already top 40 with my diamond placing.
Not sure if not-so-stealth brag or you legitimately think that's not good.
Who am I kidding? It's the former.

If only I found this group earlier during my other placements.
Was in a solo/2 group/3 group team and we steamrolled. Everyone decided to group up and after that it was steamroll after steamroll. Good synergy all around.

Man, I've been away from GAF for ages. Just finished my 8th placement match, sitting at 4-1-3 right now. It could have been 5-1-2 but I decided to add two randos to my group for the final match and we went up against a 4-man group that just outplayed us. I feel like a 2-man or 3-man group is the sweet spot if you're queuing up.
Looking forward to playing my final two placement matches tonight and seeing where I land.

In the 2400s. Gold rank. Went 6-3-1 in my placements.
Most of the time I supported. Not sure how to feel about this, cause most of my matches were stomps. But eh. I can climb.

Anyone wanna do PC placements? I'm so fucking terrified of having terrible placements in solo queue like last time and ending up 34. I ended Season 1 at 59. The climb was brutal and I can't do it again.

Would you rather lose to a coin flip?My team reaction when we got a draw
It felt like a waste of time lol.

Americas, NA specifically.
I mean no... but I feel like draws made everything feel pointless.

Either:
1. Have everything feel pointless
2. Feel dead inside cause you voted tails and it landed heads
It's not great, but it's 10x better.

You should never watch test cricket then.
5 days, 8 hours a day for 1 match with a 33% chance of a draw.

Feel free to add me if you want, I've done 2 of my placements so far. I solo queued last time and ended up around 56. I mostly play support/tanks. I'll shoot you a PM.

Draws are a metric fuckton better than coin flips. There is really no other solution. At least you get something from a draw.

i don't understand why they don't just crown a winning team based on time? Whoever does it faster/has more time left in the bank wins: el fin. ¯\_(ツ
