In the gibraltar game I think they had a leaver or two as well? PSN maintenance was that early? We got lucky.

Yes, they had 2 leavers by the first checkpoint.
Do you think we would have still won?
I felt sorry for their reinhardt he just came up to us and said hello and got murdered. I said hello back next time and he earthshattered me.
This made me lol

That's how I started. This game, I want to take a break from it but I'm already jonesing for more games...
Yo fuck this shit, my OW experience today:
A Reinhardt charges in repeatedly and dies without his team ✓
Flanking Genji does nothing but feed enemy ults ✓
Enemy Sym gets a quad on KotH ✓
My teams decides to defend Dorado right outside the enemy spawn ✓
Main healer switches to Junkrat mid match ✓
Someone solo tanks as Winston ✓
D.Va spams "Thanks" because we lost (when it was mostly their fault) ✓
OH LOOK! WE ARE WINNI- "Someone left the match" ✓
We lose instantly because someone left a match we were stomping ✓
Uninstalls Overwatch

i still play him in QP, but I won't touch him in comp. The mobility nerf makes him a sitting duck. It's sad, tbh. Because I had a lot of fun playing him.
if you were bad w/ Honzo, sure. But GOOD Hanzo players were still getting in headshots like they had auto aim. Now? It's absurd. It's already bad enough his scatter shot is pretty much an insta-kill for anyone w/ less than 200hp! -__-

I think so. We completed the first checkpoint pretty fast compared to them, at first I thought that was the reason for them to leave, but it was most probably PSN fault. But even if we were dominating in this match we could get stuck at some point pretty easily, this game can be so unpredictable.
I noticed that too, but by the time he said hello my rocket was already on the way. The others also didn't think twice before attacking lol.

Seagull was good with Hanzo, but he barely played him all the times I watched him, if at all. He was absurdly good with Hanzo.
I feel most people here would agree Hanzo was Bastion tier.
I have started playing as Ana on defense. I really like how I can heal my team mates by shooting them, and how I can quickly make an opponent fall to sleep. Great character design as well. Although I'm also very good with Soldier-76 in both offense and defense.
Although I like that Widowmaker can burstfire when not scoped in.

Yeah was pretty fast and they seemed to be getting staggered spawns. No mercy for their team.
I used tactical visor as soon as the Reinhardt said hello.
How much sr did you lose?
I think you shooting teammates counts as a miss or something, everyone I look at has bad Ana accuracy. It's either that or a bug.
Unfortunately. I meant Route 66 though, which is just as bad honestly.

Haven't played in nearly three weeks. Withdrawal beginning.
Hope someone will be able to do placement with me next week. -_____-

well, yeah. Peeps had to work to get kills with him after the 'nerf' but now that they 'fixed' him it's not so hard. It's the same w/ Genji - he's still workable, but there's more work involved, and peeps would just rather not, and have moseyed on to Zarya. >.>

If he was fine, why did they brings back the hit boxes?
And based on what you said, you think Zarya is easy...
And that deserves a massive LOL

There are 4 tiers above you. 7 tiers in total.
There's not a bajillion tiers above Gold and you don't totally suck at yet another competitive FPS.
There's 4.

lmao, who knows? Why did they buff Mei's ult? Blizz gives no fucks, man.
Zarya's def. easy... for ex-Genji mains, apparently? ;P And after the hitbox 'fix' the skyscraper Zarya's wielding is ridiculous. -__-

all jokes aside, what's the best way to organize randoms into a semi-competent team or ask someone to switch from hanzo on offense when they're dead most of the time and not taking care of any of their damage dealers or tanks.
I feel like every team needs a good leader that makes an impression early in the match and gets everyone on the same page.

Great video of where to Defend on each map.
Really interesting to note that I've rarely ever been in a Competitive game that utilized high ground as much as is recommended here. I peaked at 65 last season and am Diamond now but still never see this.
I don't know how viable this will be unless most of the team is in a group or communicating, but still good to know.

Say hello. If need be, tell people why they should change their characters. If they say they are good with them trust them for at least 1-2 pushes.
If you are a DPS for example and they criticize you for not changing, tell them you're excellent at that character, if you really are. Otherwise you should switch as well.
If they start to come around and ask you what they should play, you should ask them what can they play and organize the team comp around it.
Whatever the case, never be toxic.
If you lose in the end, it might just be because the other team was just better.
Dont solo queue
Not super viable since some of those places require people to group up in time, call out enemies and focus fire so comms are pretty much mandatory, but the "don't fucking stand in front of the spawn" rule works at any level. That's the biggest problem of playing payload on defense.
Quickly analyze the situation, sometimes if you catch certain things before your trash team gives up you may stand a chance.
If your Bastion and Torb are not solidly holding a location or keeping a choke on payload maps, immediately tell them to choose characters and just dive bomb the payload over and over, this way if they suck at least they are stopping the load from moving more often. Make sure you get that bastion off bastion or tell him to reposition after each fire fight.

2490 after my placement matches. Thoses matches were for the majority very bad, and i don't understand the matchmaking, getting paired with lvl 25/30 people against 100 and 200+. I know xp doesn't mean everything but c'mon.

Well every map only has a 7.6% chance of showing up anyway. So it's not like it's that far off.

XP doesn't mean anything, internal MMR does. There are tons of Lv.200+ players who are trash at the game. Just go take Quick Play for a ride and you'll see.

Because Meis ult was weak and pretty much worthless before? Now it's actually good.
And no, Zarya is no where near easy, just like Genji is not easy, like you seem to be saying.
Zarya really isn't as hard as people make her out to be.

The current console Zarya is easy as fuck with a good team.

So you're telling me it's easy to learn shield placement, when to charge in, when to back out of a fight, when to ult, etc? Yeah, no, she's hard to master, hence her having three stars.

Yeah I saw. But there is a great chance that someone who is lvl 25 is less knowledgeable about team comp maps etc than a lvl 200+ even if their internal MMR is the same. I know MMR has to start somewhere but they did the same mistake with HOTS and fixed it after.
But well, diamond will be hard to reach for me I guess.
Just don't think about it and have fun.
This is why i'm not a good Zarya right now.
For your average top 99th percentile player? Yea, it's not that hard.

Yah, I hear ya. Thing is, if your level of skill is really diamond, you'll climb. Just keep doing the solo queue roulette, and message people you have good games with to see if they want to group up. That's what I did last season, and went from 34 to 59 (equivalent of 1700 to 2950). Did it mostly tri-quad queueing with some 6-stacks in the mix and a bit of solo play.
