I found the FPS limit slider and set it to 120fps. And I'm keeping an eye on my GPU and CPU temps, so far they are:

GPU: 68 degrees
CPU: 51 degrees

[edit] And the game just crashed again. The last couple of times it has always happened while I have been outside the borderless window, and for example been browsing while the game is loading in the background.

The rank point system seems terrible. I get 20-40 points a win, but lose 50+ per loss... I won 5 games in a row and only gained ~150 points. Lost 3 in a row and it erased my gains... What?

yeah, it sux.

 

[LiK]

17k damage blocked with DVa lol

 

[R0ckman]

didn't blizzard say at one point that comp rank was not supposed to be a progress bar, but an assessment of your skill level? not shitting on you or anyone else who feels "stuck", and I know if I played comp I would probably feel the same. just wondering if maybe that is the intention of the matchmaking

But any way you look at it its jank, why was I placed in silver at about 1700 when the game shot me clear out of it with gaining more than I lost? Why are people placed in plat and daimond dropping like stones? Its a bugged system.

i agree tbh, it doesn't seem like anyone is happy with the way the system works. so it's probably flawed

 

[Alucrid]

If u stack more than 3 ppl u might get a premade enemy team or worse...U should stack at most 3 ppl to make it optimal

from my understanding if you placed as platinum/gold/diamond/whatever, you don't lose that, but you lose/gain points (your XXXXSR) to rank up when you win or lose. I think.

got it, thanks

 

[SeanR1221]

They fixed the aim assist in general so presumably that's what they mean.

Also, as Ana's non-scoped fire counts as a projectile I assume that benefits from the hit box size increase.

Hm, I should give her another shot. I love the concept, it just became tough to consistently heal others.

Fairly convinced Zarya is the best character in the game now. That's not a bad thing, just something I observe.

 

[Pachimari]

I'm gonna try and close down Fraps, might it be that one that makes my game crash.

 

[xaosslug]

Fairly convinced Zarya is the best character in the game now. That's not a bad thing, just something I observe.

pretty much if she's on my team in comp, and good: I win. If she's on the enemy team in comp, and good: I lose. ¯\_(&#12484_/¯

Same. Been practicing Zarya in QP and hot damn. At first I was terrible, but once I enabled allied health bars and set my sensitivity down for her + got the hang of applying barriers/timing, she is a goddamn beast. Also differently from the other tanks, if your shield is on cooldown, you need to be in the back lobbing projectiles.

I still have a long way to go before I feel comfortable taking her into comp, but once I do, boy oh boy. Bring in the HARD CARRY.

 

[LiK]

A tie and a loss. Not a good start.

 

[optimus8936]

Both on Kings Row too 🤔

Which is kinda oddball. If ranked was meant to assess MY skill level then why MY skill level going up or down is determined by TEAM as a whole? If system was supposed to be assessment of my personal skill then my RS shouldn't be affected by end result of match. Now your personal skill has very little meaning if your team can't win matches and if game keeps giving you shit then you aren't going to win, so you keep going down in SR that is "assessment of your personal skill level".

 

[slightconfuse]

Had gold in healing with roadhouse for half the match. We had s lucio

 

[R0ckman]

Holiday? Insanely dumb teams in QP where bastion is working and being ignored. I usually dont get those.

I'll add you now

 

[LiK]

Hehe, I charged right in and that fucked up their plans.

 

[xaosslug]

been playing solo queue for an hour or so and had a VERY CLOSE KotH win on Lijiang Tower, a draw on Hanamura, and a loss on King's Row. OUCH! >_<

 

[Jellie]

Hehe, I charged right in and that fucked up their plans.

That was some leroy jenkins shit on hanamura.
Thanks for the games. Mixed bag today. Lost when we were up against 5/6 man groups. Mics in the future?

I wouldn't be opposed to mics. Anything to make the games a bit easier is fine by me. It would also be more fun to just talk to each other.

Also got the quad dragon kill. Finally

 

[Thewonandonly]

If anyone wants to play tonight I'm getting on at around 7 on Xbox one.

Reaper's death animations cracks me up for some reason, like at work embarassingly bust out laughing level.he holds his stomach like a baby and just slowly drops to the ground lol.

He's just trying to be edgy. Pretending it's just a minor flesh wound

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Yeah I'll be using one in the future probably. Other groups we face will be.
The king's rows games we played were a bit dodgy. Probably should have had a Reinhardt I guess.
Congrats on the quad. Was it with a zarya?
I got the other soldier trophy (both from playing with you) for the double rocket kill.

No Zarya. Just me haha. They were all in the walkway to the left of the first point on Volskaya and I launched it behind them. 4 kills, instantly. I got a little ecstatic to say the least.

Got POTG for it. I teabagged like crazy and threw a spray down because I was so happy to get that trophy.

Are you and optimus both on PSN? Don't think I've played with you guys yet.

 

[Pachimari]

Why is it that some games go into overtime, when one team has 99% and the other like 46%?

 

[LiK]

Holy shit, please stop giving me King's Row

 

[optimus8936]

Holy shit, please stop giving me King's Row

Lol

Yes we are.

Got mine on Volskya too. Desperate ult from spawn on defense and ending up getting 5 kills. Only used him cos I just got the wolf skin. Never played since.

Are you and optimus both on PSN? Don't think I've played with you guys yet.

I'm offline now but yeah PSN.

Holy shit, please stop giving me King's Row

Have you got King's Row PTSD too?

 

[Satch]

this guy on the enemy team had the NERVE to pick pharah against me and then talk shit to me in all chat

i picked her too and fucking dumpstered that little shithead

at the end of the game i told him "learn your place"

THESE ARE MY SKIES AND I DONT SHARE (except with mercy)

 

[dhlt25]

been losing a lot on super close game. So frustrating

 

[cr_blah_blah]

There should be some kind of law where Bastion just isn't allowed to get POTG, especially if they're on the team that just got dominated.

 

[UltimaPooh]

Are you serious?

Because they have someone on the point keeping the Overtime timer going...

The time goes down quicker over time tho... so if someone is holding it by themselves steps off it could go super quick.

 

[Newtype-001]

Holy shit, please stop giving me King's Row

Why dont you want best map

You know i find all my best matches are on Kings Row

 

[Ramirez]

No POTG should come from the losers, a POTG should be what won the game! Damnit, Blizzard!

 

[TheThinWhiteDuke]

My method yesterday was to see Zarya coming out of a building a few meters away, panic, boost through her into the room, which of course was a car wash, with Sym sitting at the other doorway. Sym gets up and starts melting me, Zarya finishes me from behind, and Pilot D.Va is wasted immediately by Sym turrets.

Nailed it.

 

[R0ckman]

Retool res to have a stack build? Can store ults over 5 for 1-5 res? Not one res to restore them all?

 

[LiK]

Why would you leave round 1 when we're close to the end? Fucking idiot randoms.

 

[divisionbyzorro]

Went 3-2, ended 40 pts higher than I started.

Both of my losses had leavers that quit two fucking minutes into the match. And the matches were still close.

Fuck leavers. Hard.

Sorry but I only just recently got really into it, even though I have had the game since launch. I only have 5 hours in it, so I'm still getting used to all of the characters, their matchups, the maps, layouts, rules and modes. It'll take a little time.

So if someone is holding a point, it'll go into overtime, and if we remove those players from the point, the clock will count down faster?

 

[Pogonip]

A 2-7-1 record in placement matches on PS4 placed me in Gold at 2185 SR. Some real close losses, others were complete stomps for the enemy. All wins were close 1-0 affairs. Draw was a 0-0 on Hanamura. And considering I was Rank 56 in Season 1, that's a large drop...

Maybe it's time to start playing duo/trio queue if I want that platinum rating.

Ah. No worries!

So if someone from the opposite team is on the point it goes into overtime. If no one is on the point when you reach 100 it instantly makes you a winner.

If the opposite team is able to stay on the point the overtime meter stays full and goes down when they are ALL off it. The longer they keep it in over time the faster the meter will fall when they are off... at first it's a slow crawl down... but over time it will fall down in a second.

If the opposite team is able to get your team off of it they will then begin to fill their capture meter to take the point back. If they are successful then their percentage meter begins to fill until you can get them off and re capture.
