Yea, staying near our spawn and missing constantly. Might as well play Soldier and get his Ult to help out lol

True, but at least a bad player on other classes can still do more damage/kills/heals/take damage better than a bad Ana. Ok, maybe a bad Sym might be worse. But at least bad players MIGHT be able to contribute a fraction of help compared to bad Ana's.

Seriously though, i don't know if it's right to single out a character choice as deadweight instead of a player just being bad.
I've had games where i out dps'd our dps as zenyetta and somehow outdamage our junkrat as mei.

I had a match in comp. where there was this one Mei who ended up with +60 kills, barely died, and effectively carried the entire team.
Sucks that I didn't have that same Mei on my team that match.

Can you blame a mother for prioritising her daughter though?

Prioritizing murdering her daughter?

Just had an 0-6 session playing solo queue in comp.
I swear I just don't know what I'm supposed to do. I feel like the solo queues are literally just throwing dice. I feel like I have zero agency over the outcome of the game, no matter how good or bad I play. I feel like I'm just along for the ride. And I fucking hate playing at a level where Torbjorn and Bastion are in the meta. It fucking sucks. Because inevitably your Bastion is the one that empties his clip straight into a Genji reflect, but your team will happily feed Torbjorn infinite ult charge.
Oh, and here's a good one. I queued up with a rando I added a couple of days ago. We stomped some Quickplay together, and I played a match with him tonight. He was platinum ranked. He decided to play Torb on Volskaya defense; we got run over and he promptly told us to "fuck off" and quit. So I obviously dropped and blocked him, and we gave it our all on a 5v6 attack (but failed of course).
Yeah, so all the standard salt.

I noticed this as well. Seems like the bad Anas don't even use her Ult. What gives. Such a waste.

Fun games today. High point was the one in Numbani with a full team, with just a minute on the clock we completed 2 checkpoints. Very nice.
Oh, and ggs Owzers, you were really good with Reinhardt once again.

eh, it's to the most extreme with ana
Our team was awful.
Blizzard needs to sort this shit out. If some of these dudes are Diamond, I'm the best player in the world.

Nah, the most standout bad players to me are rein players, because they're actually important.

Yeah, it might be best to wait a few days so that the crappy players can lose a lot of points and will be gone and the good players will(hopefully) gain a lot of points and will be gone and hat will make the grind a bit easier.

Optimus is very good with Ana, we had a game in Numbani and he was always killing the enemy Pharah lol. I felt sorry for her, since I'm also a Pharah "main".
He also boosted Reinhardt for the POTG, it was a nice game.

Ah shit, I remember that game. Poor Pharah. Somebody had to get tucked in
im sorry 
Also, thx for the compliment. You're a pretty good Lucio yourself
everyone we had in that 6 queue tonight were good players, just the enemy teams were just as good.

I can't quite grasp what your point is? The pool of players should be stretched out in terms of rank level in about a week or so and the games should(again, hopefully) be better.

It's just that some of you seen weirdly impatient for it to level out? I could be reading it wrong though.

Luck is awful tonight.
Even if we don't have a Lucio on KOTH I'm not sure I help our team more by picking him over Tracer. I'm an awful Lucio. Lol

Luck be a large, sweaty man tonight.
I'm not impatient, but I expect the second season to be better at not placing people where they clearly don't belong.
Again, I go back to my experience with Halo 5's competitive, I've seen it done much better, so it's frustrating.
Antiwhippy

I'm not a halo player, but most of the skill in halo comes from how good you can aim with mostly hitscan weapons right? I don't doubt the mm in overwatch can be better but i think the way to measure skill between the 2 are probably pretty different.
Hey, man. Thank you for the awesome games. Sorry I fucked up.

I'm so fucking titled. I don't know what the fuck to do with competitive. Now 200 points below my season high. And you rank up INSANELY slowly, and rank down way too fucking quickly.
Leaving your games up to randoms at all is such a fucking crapshoot. Even if you have a good 2-3 man it's not enough. Fuck.
GGs dude. No fuck ups on your end at all. We'll do better next time with our draw of randoms.

It was happening in PTR, I believe its broken. :/
In the PTR I went from ~3150 to 2440 with a 52% win ration in a day.

I know the feeling. Why did the development team made the scoring system incredibly inconsistent? Like, do they want players to NOT play competitive if this is how you'll be rewarded? Doesn't help that the gold rewards are almost impossible to get.
And thank you for the encouragement that I don't suck as a player. There are hundreds of variables that made me go bananas when I was trying to rank up solo, though I also acknowledge the faults I do when playing (semi-over extending when not needed, etc.)

I was averaging about 35 points per win and around 98 points per loss. I was tilted out of existence and stopped playing OW for about a week now. My life is Diablo now. ~_~

Pharah is complete ass now. Even Zarya can hit her reliably. Lol
This new console meta feels really weird. I'm not sure if I like it, and I can't put my finger on why I don't.

That's what I mean with Zarya. She could never reliably track Pharah, Tracer, or Genji before this auto aim fix. Now it's suuuuper easy.

No way in hell she needs a buff. I don't know if this is still the case, but before the patch, she had more healing potential than Mercy. Her healing+grenade is absolutely fantastic. She is very balanced right now imo.
Antiwhippy

She has easily the biggest healing potential out of all the healers.
