Just had my last placement match and had a Mei in my team who just kept on jumping off the cliff wtf. We still somehow won though. Went 6-4 and 2497 rating.

50% accuracy with McCree since the patch hit.

I have 55%. Dat hidden McCree buff.

 

[Satch]

This game is funny as shit, our nano boosted dva jumped off point in overtime because mei used her ultimate and we lost because of it

As if mei could POSSIBLY kill her

I couldnt even be angry, i just cackled on mic. this game is amazing

 

[Vire]

Did they change the UI on the PS4 version or am I going crazy? Everything seems bigger...

 

[Tovarisc]

Just got in a game with two (2!) top 500 players. Both of them used the animated spray in our spawn room.

And even then, we only just managed to win attack Eichenwalde through overtime. It feels like that map is very slanted towards the defenders, unlike most of the other ones, which I guess is fine.

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

 

[Incendiary]

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.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Mei is sooo good on the first point of the new map, gonna have to play her more now!

She really is.

The first chokepoint is basically a mini hanamura.

Final stretch is a constant blizzard warning.

 

[Squire]

Ok um... Mei's actually fun to play as now O.O

Yeah, she's good.

 

[Vault Dweller 111]

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?

 

[Tovarisc]

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.

 

[Kuksune]

i don't know if this has been asked in this OT or in any other overwatch OT.

Why haven't blizzard patched out Reapers reload exploit??

 

[Antiwhippy]

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.

 

[Shake Appeal]

My comp Zarya's getting pretty good.

 

[IKizzLE]

Just finished my placement matches. Were rough....placed in diamond.

Projectile change is huge.

 

[Vire]

I swear, they changed some things without putting in the patch notes. Mcrees aiming and distance feels different.

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.

Projectile change is huge.

I feel like I'm hitting sightly more but nothing drastic. Except that my shots don't completely go through frozen targets sometimes now.

 

[Shake Appeal]

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.

 

[Beckx]

i think i should quit at this point tonight. the power of salt overwhelms me.

 

[Dad]

I've played 12 rounds on Eichenwalde and have yet to see attackers win a single time

 

[Ramirez]

Just finished my placement matches. We're rough....placed in diamond.

You'd probably have to play out of your mind to place in Master/GM...I doubt Diamond is rough, lol.

 

[ramyeon]

I won on attack my first time playing on the map. Just won on attack right now too actually.

There are tough points but it's not impenetrable.

 

[Vault Dweller 111]

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

 

[Antiwhippy]

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.

 

[Wyndstryker]

I've played 12 rounds on Eichenwalde and have yet to see attackers win a single time

Just had a comp match where both teams won on attack. Thankfully the other team only had 12 seconds left where we had 2 mins left. Made the 4th round a breeze

 

[IKizzLE]

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.

Spoiler

Who am I kidding? It's the former.

 

[Wyndstryker]

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.

 

[Dance Inferno]

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.

 

[xaosslug]

Just gotta bite that bullet and get them over with!

idk why, but I'm anxious for some reason >_<

My comp Zarya's getting pretty good.

are you PS4? Group up w/ me, I need a good Zarya on my side! Tired of getting melted. T__T

omg, are you PS4? Carry me through my placements, Senpai! ;D

 

[jotun?]

Apparently there are bookshelves in the new castle map that do NOT block D.Va's ult..

 

[JStein0222]

Edit: jk, gotta go.

 

[LAM09]

Pharah is great to use on Eichenwalde

 

[LucidMomentum]

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.

 

[cyborg009]

My team reaction when we got a draw

It felt like a waste of time lol.

 

[finalflame]

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.

 

[Ramirez]

I looked on master overwatch and it seems no one placed in master. I'm already top 40 with my diamond placing.

I'm ranked 18!

Bahaha

808 on Xbox, which I'm proud of since I was using Ana!

Region?

 

[Mik317]

man I suck lol. Think I'm doing well and then after losing..none of my teammates nor me are up for voting.

lol s c r u b b o y s

Would you rather lose to a coin flip?

 

[finalflame]

Region?

Americas, NA specifically.

 

[cyborg009]

I mean no... but I feel like draws made everything feel pointless.

 

[optimus8936]

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.

 

[Antiwhippy]

You should never watch test cricket then.

5 days, 8 hours a day for 1 match with a 33% chance of a draw.

 

[Moonkeis]

Americas, NA specifically.

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.

 

[finalflame]

I mean no... but I feel like draws made everything feel pointless.

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

 

[Moonkeis]

Anyone get a weird bug on the Battle.net interface since the patch? When I click on the "Friends" icon, the list will not display. It appears as a window I can hover over when I'm alt tabbing but it won't display it.

 

[xaosslug]

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. ¯\_(&#12484_/¯

 

[Forerunner]

D.Va, 23-0, is this easy mode.

 

[ricelord]

went 7-3, got 2938 might been in the 3000's if we didn't lose to a master and 2 diamonds on the other team.
