Mei might be the best hero at stalling in this game. Her ice block and wall are fantastic for that, especially on 2CP.

Oh I know, I'm not saying to nerf it, I'm saying it's dumb in a funny way.
PC Solo Queue for Comp is actually trash
It's either 4 offense characters or 2-3 defense characters, no healers and nobody can get kills.
You ask for a 2nd tank or 2nd healer and nobody switching into a decent composition to fight with until like the last minute before losing. And I feel like I'm on these team 4/5 times when the other team actually trying to play and win.

This reminds me. I was playing Pharah on Wells on Ilios and their Rein charged our Roadhog. I shot a rocket at him and he went flying in the air and ended up charging him all the way back to our spawn lol. Easy kill there haha.
I agree, but it's equally as bad if you go in with a full group, you get matched against another full group and they kick your ass.
What's the optimum group size (greater than 1 and less than 6) to get ahead in competitive?
I'm rank 1497 now, it's awful.
I'd be up for it. How would teams be made.we should have a GAF overwatch tournament on PS4! Set up some GAF v. GAF custom games! I would love to play with/against y'all!

i have no idea. Maybe, keeping consideration characters each person mains + is comfy playing Shouta or Duckroll can put all participants names into various hats and choose at random and then announce it on the thread? LOL

This could be fun, but it would be difficult getting it set up for times that work for everyone.we should have a GAF overwatch tournament on PS4! Set up some GAF v. GAF custom games! I would love to play with/against y'all!
Were they queued with a person doing a placement or something? Wonder how much they lost.
So like a hat for each role or something?
That's the master symbol.
Oh that's master? His max SR was 3800+, oh yeah you're right, my bad. But still.
Nah he was solo queuing, as seen in the screenshot.

yeah, we would def. need to figure out everyone's time for play/availability and try and work something. But yeah, this could super fun.
the great thing about it is we lose/gain nothing, so it would all just be fun times.
yeah!
the real fucked up thing is that you were put against a team of 4... damn.
Screenshot wasn't there earlier so didn't know
That's really weird matchmaking. What was their average SR? Half your team doing placements against a 4 man and a master. Probably wanted to see if you could beat a master for your last placement. Nice.

I was in something similar where the prize was $20 for the best player but dunno what happened to it. They even bothered to livestream it so I got my PotG recorded by them

The guy was even commentating for the game. He got the teams mixed up and thought the other team had the point the whole Nepal game.

Looks like it. I really like to counter her with Genji too, and bait her recall before I use deflect/dash on her to finish her off. I think the biggest problem is that people play with a very low sensitivity. When I play as Tracer and go behind the enemies and they take half a day to turn, you know you're gonna get tons of kills of them.
I've been in a game of 6 randoms versus a team of 6 too.
Yeah I only uploaded the screenshot on the edit. I didn't notice their average SR, I lost my marbles seeing the master symbol pop up.Screenshot wasn't there earlier so didn't know

Worst thing it may be too late. You're forever trapped there.
Are there any messages you want us to relay to your family before you completely fall into the abyss?

I feel ya. I've fallen from a high of 2706 to 2504 due to some rough teammates. It's hard to climb out of the pit once you're down there.
I'm having more and more fun with this game! Mainly playing D.Va (now that I learned to play her offensively instead of staying too far to really deal any damage, I'm having a blast) and Lucio (I like playing Support characters in games in general). I tried to play a few offensive characters, but it seems I am not good enough to stay alive and chain eliminations. I like Hanzo on the paper, but one really needs to be good at sniping (and, well, aiming) to actually be helpful.

RIP.
Also I seem to be stuck in support life this season. Luckily I can play zen and ana who I both like a lot so there's that.
When your team shoots a sleeping ulting genji tho. -_-
Luckily the genji panicked and deflected immediately wasting ult time.

There's always next season.
2270 currenrky, the Zarya train is working. Fuck you Gonzo, fuck you Free.Va.
The Lazer does not care for your mobility and shields. It melts all.
I can automatically gauge the match quality by the first few seconds of push - if I end up with 50 charge on my first bubble, I know it's gonna be a fun time. If I bubble and no one keeps shooting, it'll be a challenge.

I don't understand how Platinum rank can vary so much in team quality, it's like a god damn lucky dip where I'm pulling out the disgusting Parma Violets 80% of the time.
One of only 2 of my grandmaster sightings but the other was the m45h-1t-up guy who was on the enemy team
Also their grandmaster and master were using exploits to party up with people outside their range...

dang, Blizz really tried to break you...
what did you place, btw?
I can almost see it.
That dream I'm dreaming,
But there's a voice inside my head saying,
"You'll never reach it."
Every step I'm takin'
Every move I make feels lost with no direction,
My faith is shakin'
But I, I gotta keep tryin'
Gotta keep my head held high
There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waitin' on the other side
It's the climb
T__T

I think, no match now though.
Also dat feel when you see a DPS who was playing terribly and then you get matched up with him again. -_-
I'm pleased with the result!dang, Blizz really tried to break you...

Overwatch was a mistake.
Checked that one but they aren't broadcasting that match, heres the only stream I found https://www.twitch.tv/cirouss.

I want to die every time someone shoots an enemy I hit with a sleep dart while they're nanoboosted or something
One of my friends was Bastion and walked over and shot a sleeping Zarya in scout mode. Needless to say, she got up at max power and melted us.

Kinda why I'm getting a mic soon, so I can just yell "Ulting dude is sleepin... oh come the fuck on lucio!"
Though really, just need to do more callouts. People barely do it. Also seeing that I'm support mostly I'm probably the dude for callouts.

The guys overwatch tumblr is amazing.
It's always dva from a million miles away that wakes them up for me.
Unfortunately I'm in Asia, I would lag the crap out playing with Gaffers.

Eh, I agree, but I still think 2 tanks / 2 healer / 2 offense is the best way to go.
