Just went from 2880 to 3250 in one session. And we got Lik his Diamond from like 2600. Amazing streak. Great games.

The Tracer and Dva were working wonders. Congrats Lik!

 

[Ramirez]

Ended my night with a 9500 healing, 7 sleeps, and 10 nano assists as Ana. I think she is absolutely one of the best options on attack the more I play her. You just need your team to give the idea a chance. The Zarya in that game was shooting at me for half the match wanting me to switch, meh, lol.

 

[Antiwhippy]

I thought you were one of the bigger ana skeptics?

 

[LiK]

Amazing win streak with Vault tonight. We destroyed so many teams and even helped carry some awful people in our group. I managed to reach Diamond in one night.

D.va is getting the golden guns this season!

 

[Ramirez]

I thought you were one of the bigger ana skeptics?

I am! I still don't like her on defense, and still think 9/10 would be a complete detriment to their team. (console, before anyone jumps me)

#12 Ana on Xbox now! Still only at 2800 SR though, lol.

Congrats! Just got it with my group here as well.

 

[ISOM]

It's amazing the amount of people who play Ana and hold onto their ults as if you only have one a game. When in actuality she gets it so fast that it should be on cooldown.

 

[Odrion]

where do you guys get your groups

 

[TheThinWhiteDuke]

Hehe, saved a clip where my D.va bumrushed a Zarya and killed her. Bet she didn't expect that.

I got one tonight, too- on a swoop and blast away! It was a good night.

 

[Vault Dweller 111]

Is this how Genji players used to feel?

Spoiler

Please don't nerf my bae.

 

[Danj]

How did you get a gold weapon at a below 2000 skill level?

I didn't. What I'm saying is the teams who kept repeatedly trouncing my team always seemed to have at least one person with one.

EDIT: and it still doesn't feel great to turn in a performance like this and still lose:

Thanks, it was fun. It started off so poorly in the first two games but then we hit our stride and nothing stopped us. I saved clips of most of our matches. Might do a montage of all our kills when we combined abilities. Who needs mics? lol

 

[Antiwhippy]

I've met a roadhog with a gold weapon during season 1 way before the season's end.

He was ranked 38.

 

[MarioHead3]

Looks like everyone is doing well tonight. I just went on a massive winstreak and made it to 3010, so now I don't even care how well I do for the rest of the season.

I didn't. What I'm saying is the teams who kept repeatedly trouncing my team always seemed to have at least one person with one.

I see multiple golden guns in literally every match I play. I don't think it's at all rare.

PS4 seems to be the place to be if you want to place high on competitive!

Duckroll with the stealth console diss.

 

[Antiwhippy]

I think it's more because there seems to be a crew for PS4 peeps here to get into.

My season 1 crew is dead.

Not so stealthy.

 

[MarioHead3]

I'll be there soon Whippy.

As soon as I feel like turning on my PC.

Eh, thing is do you guys really want to play in 150 ping?

 

[Vault Dweller 111]

The best Ps4 Tracer on Earth had stats that are worse than mine (of course he has an insane SR and win rate) But I'm almost sure i'm top 100. The fucking site just won't update.

 

[Shouta]

Still hovering around 2500 after a few wins/losses tonight. I probably shouldn't pair with a random kid that can only play Attack chars, lol.

I got a sweet POTG as Zarya tonight though. Opposing team stacked for a last second rush on the Market part in Li Jiang tower and as they all stormed the front, I Ult'd them while the rest of my team just swooped up for the Team Kill. I was the only Ult used too, I think. The Junkrat just unloaded like crazy on them.

 

[MarioHead3]

Eh, thing is do you guys really want to play in 150 ping?

Pretty sure I had much worse when I first started playing TF2.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Theres also timezones, but ive been playing at weird hours. Shoot me an invite if you ever get around to it though.

 

[MarioHead3]

So I just checked Overbuff, and I'm apparently ranked #182 with Mei and have over a 60% win rate. The site might be fucked up right now, but I don't even care.

 

[Vault Dweller 111]

Tracer is the least picked offensive hero!!

No nerf!!!

Congrats! I got bumped down to #180 from #45 after a string of really bad games yesterday

 

[KuroNeeko]

Ended last season at about rank 35.

I only play solo queue with Zen / Mercy for heals or D.Va / Mei.
Halp me, gusy!

 

[MarioHead3]

I just checked and it still says you're #180.

 

[No_Style]

I'm apparently 200 for Lucio?

I will print this out and put it on my fridge.

 

[Wyndstryker]

Bah, having a troll bastion on the team on comp is the worst.

I'd take a bad bastion over a troll one anyday. He stayed in the spawn room the whole time.

 

[ramyeon]

Nice, I knew I should have screen capped when it was #45 and framed it.

Spoiler

I'll probably never get back there.

 

[Antiwhippy]

No nerf!!!

On PC, while I think that she is one of the most obnoxious heroes to play against and I've certainly met some scarily good ones, I don't think she's really anywhere near overpowered.

Might be different on console, but I've been able to one-shot headshot her pretty regularly.

 

[duckroll]

Look at all these impressive PS4 stats for characters who don't require aiming. I'm really impressed! Good job guys!

Spoiler

This isn't salt, it's pure unprocessed sodium.

I've been one-shot by Zenyattas far too often on console.

I think it's past duckroll's bedtime. He seems cranky.

I'm bias. But you absolutely don't see two per game, or even one like Genji was. Her ult isn't very game changing which was Genji's main problem. The elusiveness is definitely the thing they have in common the most. I'm guessing they won't nerf her. But I remain wary.

I still say she can be countered without much trouble.

She counters her counters.

She's kinda like Zarya in that way. If you're good enough, you can deal with anything.

 

[ivanthebearable]

"if you aren't using mic, you aren't getting healed"

By someone who autolocked Mercy.
What kind of attitude is that?

 

[duckroll]

This season I'm seeing a lot of Zarya and Mei. In fact, on KotH in particular, Mei vs Mei battles are common place and can easily define the game.

That's the attitude of a pro Mercy.

Or an asshole.

Or both.

Very few are though.

When was the last time your team got their ass kicked by a Tracer? Even though I think she's better in the new meta I honestly haven't seen many that are very menacing. Pesky at worst. Especially if we are comparing her to old Genji.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Except for KotH.

She's pretty much made for that mode.

This season I'm seeing a lot of Zarya and Mei. In fact, on KotH in particular, Mei vs Mei battles are common place and can easily define the game.

I actually haven't had a chance to use Mei in KotH because if I don't go healer no one will.

 

[duckroll]

I don't think Tracer is all that great a pick for KotH anymore. She's basically a utility hero rather than a straight DPS one, and you generally only have 1 slot for that at best if you're running 2 tanks and 2 healers, which is really what you need to hold after taking the point. These days, Mei fills the slot so much better than Tracer.

I actually haven't had a chance to use Mei in KotH because if I don't go healer no one will.

Had the worst Soldier (with a golden gun!) in KotH yesterday via random pub in our team. He couldn't do anything, couldn't kill the Pharah, and our Hanzo was outdamaging him. Then after 2 terrible rounds of losses (which we could have won if someone just killed the Pharah consistently!), the Soldier changed out because we were begging... into a.... Mei. We were like "for fuck's sake..." but then his Mei was so on point that the enemy was being blocked off when they needed to be, frozen when they were cut off, it was magical. We proceeded to win 3 rounds in a row.

 

[Antiwhippy]

No what? Maybe for lower level tracers but higher level KotH is defined by tracer vs tracer battles. She just does such insane damage at the range KotH operates at.

 

[Vault Dweller 111]

I insta lock Tracer on KOTH. And it's very rarely a bad idea.

 

[duckroll]

Okay from now on I'm going to demand a Tracer on our team during KotH, and if it goes badly, I'll just ban everyone who suggested it!!!! The new GAF meta.

 

[PatjuhR]

6-4 in playing matches. Pretty satisfied although I won 5 out of the first 7. But ready for the first competitive match.

I read good news here about leavers and in my placement I haven't seen any leavers, but the first competitive match I play I already get a leaver in first round of KOTH. Had false hopes because one of the enemy also left, but he came back...

 

[LiK]

She's a good pick for you.

Thing is there are a lot of bad tracers. A lot.
