Yeah Kaplan said they will look into it.

Kaplan said that they are looking into it. It's not working as intended.

Huh. Battle.net said PTR started an update. Odd.
What's there to report? Friends can't play together?
I think this can be said for a lot of things in the game, to be frank.
You can't be in comp with grandmaster unless you are 500 difference right? So they glitched it?
Well they got stomped but it's still cheating.
They only lost like 5 points for that I think.

Symbol could've been glitched, or they dropped down from Grandmaster to like Diamond or something.
The game wouldn't allow them to play together at all if it were against the rules.

Yeah, remember that they only show your highest tier achieved, but you can do or if the tier
Checked their sr. 2200 and 4000 plus you lose icon at master or grandmaster if you lose the rank.

it's easier to fix than roadhog's hook. They have to alter a few numbers is all.

Reaper is a joke on all the edgy cliche characters Blizzard has ever done. Having him have a pink skin would be too obvious and too easy.
Winston on Lijang Tower is soooooo much fun.
I read the last two words in Reaper's voice.

You can unlock either the Nevermore/Plague Doctor or the El Blanco/Mariachi to solve this, as at least those costumes are legitimately cool.
Heck, it's the reason why I went with Reaper's origins skin, as he looks less goofy than his standard attire.

I read somewhere that it was letting anyone queue up.
Finally carried my way out of gold and into Plat. My performances in gold would've netted me a 3000+ rank in placements, but I got some suuuper shitty teams. Hopefully I keep the win streak going.
Also DVA is the low/mid-tier carry beast. At the beginning of every match I was saying 2-2-2 please and begging people to switch if it wasn't working out. My pleases and begs caused people to change and it won us multiple games. In the gold rank people can't kill for shit, so having heavy duty tanks and 2 supports puts you in a huge advantage I think.
You got a link? Blizzard said to prevent smurfing it would be 1000 sr limit and 500 for master and above.

Being simply annoying and actually being scary with Tracer boils down to whether or not you can actually get kills with her reasonably quickly. Takes a bit of time to get used to her spread. I'd suggest practicing on KOTH and really try to nail your whole clip from optimal range. Once you get better you'll drop supports in 2 clips or 1 if you're super on point.
In that case report. It is not working as intended for sure.

Solo Qing my way from 2200 out of placements, to a current 2770, I can say that I've seen people glitching the 500 MMR range requirement for grouping in comp. It's stupid. I saw legit 3400 Diamonds Q'd up with a 2400 Gold.
Fix your fucking game Blizzard.

I aspire to be you. I placed at 2350, currently in the dregs at 2150. It feels like trying to swim up a waterfall.
Any tips?
I 2nd that. Playing Zarya primarily in S2 makes me wonder wtf i was doing in S1. Shes got the best aspects of tank (HP/Shields), Defense (Barriers) and DPS (Full charge) all rolled in to one.
Good job climbing. That range is OK for diamond (1000) only masters and above is 500

All I ever see is Hanzo with his fucking Ryu Ga Teki Go Fuck Yourself, or D.Va with her Ultimate. I've never seen a Play of the Day with any support character, which is annoying since I main Lucio.
they're in the 1000 range so that's fine. only Masters and GM is 500

iirc, i think that was what they originally wanted and put into PTR (i forget) but changed it when it went live. i'm guessing 500 was too limited from feedback.

My comp stats aren't updating on Overbuff or Master Overwatch, and it's kinda deflating. I like looking back on a session and seeing how I did.

Am I the only one thinking the toxic Overwatch community gets worse every day? Quick play is so relaxed to play and as soon you go competitive all those ego gamers melt down.
First game of the second season: Ilinos, I play tracer because she and Genji are the heroes I am definitely most effective with and have nearly 100 hours with them combined. People think they know what's best for the team by telling you, not asking, you should switch (to tank or healer or whatever). But it's even worse when they think to know what hero you're best with. When I have three gold medals for objective kills and time, eliminations and silver for damage I think I've done pretty good job. Especially when I'm the only one nuking three guys at the objective and waiting for my mates there.
We lost after five rounds and two people blamed me for not switching.
I'm not flawless but I know when I'm "in the game" and when not and I always try to be self-reflected. An ability many players seem to have not. Maybe the medals give me a false awareness of how well I'm doing in the round but that's the only meter I have. When I see I don't do any good due to constantly dying, not killing or no medals, I start switching heroes. But people, instead of changing to the hero they think suits the team best, they tell people. Why? First option is they think THEIR hero is absolutely mandatory. And I almost tend to think there is no such mandatory in Overwatch since latest balance patches. Second option is they may think they aren't good enough with the required hero. But assume you are.
I don't know what to do guys. Seriously. I reckon I'll just deactivate team chat right from the start. This may seem a bit harsh at first, but given how many times there actually is constructive discussion and teamplay in chat and how many times just ranting and foul language I guess the team won't lose much if you don't read the chat at all.
I don't say there aren't any good matches and friendly people, though. I always try to influence even a silence team positively with motivational words in chat, tell my team what pleasure it was to play with them or who's done a great job, sharing appreciation. I don't seal myself from positive experience to emphasize on bad ones. I'm totally aware of good matches and cool guys in my team. Just the other day one of the enemy team's guys happen to get in my team, remembered me and said how annoying I was as tracer and that he's glad he's on my side, yet. I really appreciate such compliments although it's not what I'm after. But rotten team players are definitely more in numbers, leaving aside the silent ones who don't chat at all.
What is you guys opinion on the Overwatch community? Do you agree, do I exaggerate, do you think it gets better or worse?

Oh wow, just had a win that resulted in 3 SR gain.
3.
Which was mostly because I was reinhardt against a team that was so bad that they couldn't even get into a the point to do anything, but still.

To be honest, if you want the best chance of winning, especially at lower ranks, 2-2-2 is what's going to get you the win. As long as you're part of the 2 DPS and you're getting gold, you did your job. People suck and don't worry about it.
What's the average sr for both teams? I've gone +5 +4 +5 3 in a row.

I think the overwatch community is great. But as a great philosopher once said, even if you drink a glass of water which has 1% piss in it, the piss will stand out.
But by far the positives outweight the negatives.
