Not tempted to push for 65? It is a huge 100CP extra.

I got my first play of the game as Tracer last night. Such a nice feeling.
Ok so i just played a competitive match and i played quite bad (so did the whole team). I then received a message from a teammate saying i had no game sense....i replied with "no englis" and i received a reply abusing me telling me i should jump off a bridge and if that doesnt work i shoud go neck myself.
Wth is wrong with some people?

Block the person and move on. At least that's what I do. It's competitive, it brings out the worst in people.

Oh yeah, I mixed it up with the Summer event end date (which is Aug 22). Sorry. I thought you meant you'd get the points before the season ends.
I reported them. People like this need to learn a lesson. Joking about suicide is not on and it really bugs me that people get so worked up over a game, competitive or not.
Ps. Im new here. Hi GAF

It's true.
Temple of Anubis, defense.
I'm on fire and have 2 golds as Reaper, yet people are telling me we don't need a Reaper and to switch to a healer.
After like 5 min I switch, then proceed to hold onto three golds as a support while spamming the "need healing" emote as soon as it was off cooldown.
People were so mad at me, but we won.
Next match Gibraltar on Attack. The 12 year old Genji first pick yells over the mic "IF ANYONE GOES SNIPER ON ATTACK JUST END YOURSELF"
I pick Widowmaker and we push the objective easily, as I pick off the supports and enemy Genji easily.
At one point the Genji and reaper would chase me all across the map just to kill me, leaving the payload wide open.
I think I'm having more fun playing the objective while simultaneously pissing people off who have expectations of how the "meta" should be played.
Or, it's just Genji players who tend to have the worst attitudes.
Hiya!
But yeah, people getting super salty and / or aggressive over a game is sad, really.
No worries! I'm not sure why they are different dates either. But yeah, only 2 days left it seems.

Reporting is always good. But yah, people are shitheads in competitive online games. I don't let it bother me anymore, thick skin etc.
Also, welcome!
Team comp is a real thing, but I always let it play out when someone picks something I deem retarded. However, getting yelled at for picking reaper is .. mindboggling. Reaper is good almost anywhere and played in most meta comps. Snipers are actually better on offense than defense if you can aim worth two shits and get picks. Mostly, people just need to worry about their own game more than what everyone else is doing, unless something is clearly amiss (only healer is zenyatta, only tank is winston, etc).
Anyways, I get super salty, but keep my rage contained. Worth nothing there are some really bad players in competitive, though.

It's true though.
Genji players are the worst.
The most abuse I've seen are hurled from genji players.

Super satisfying to kill reapers/genjis/soldiers 1v1 as zero-suit D.Va. I can almost taste the salt through the screen.
This. As I've posted earlier in this thread, it doesn't matter if you turn in the best performance of your life at these ranks, you still get your rank lowered by a shitload.
So cute with her little piggy nose being all red from the coldness ^__^

Did they up the drop rates? Bought the PC version yesterday and I already have two legendary skins (one being the olympic Zarya skin that I really wanted so whew) even though I'm only lv.6. That's already as much as what I have on PSN.
Also saw 3 people at a low level like I am using legendary skins.

Wrong mindset. If you want to win worry about the things you can influence, not whatever mistakes you may see in your teammates - i.e. how you can improve as a player. Sure, some games can be frustrating, sometimes you lose lots of rank points when you played well, but that's the nature of team games. And we tend to remember the bad experiences over the ez routine wins, or the games where you just phone it in while someone else was in the zone and carrying your team. Sometimes you just need to vent but after that it's important to not dwell on specific games, moving on and trying to look at the bigger picture.
Also remember that people you've never met before have no reason to listen to you, no matter how wrong or right you might be. You can make suggestions about team comp and if there's reasonable, team-oriented players chances are they're thinking about switches already anyway. Generally trying to convince randoms to do anything is nothing but a waste of time, more often than they'll double down on their stance and that's that.

I do it with McCree. I noticed my accuracy % getting better, but I don't particularly see it reflected in real world gameplay. Maybe a little bit. I've only done ~1 hour of it, though.
They can be effective and I have lost to attack Torbs but it's still not ideal and something that I would prefer not to chance with random pub teams.

Explain to me what I am doing wrong with Pharahs Ult.
Enemy is grouped around say the payload.
I jump jet into the air or maybe just stand there at mid distance and unleash my Ult at them. Justice rains from above all over them.
Like one may die. WTF?

Man, Ana is so fun to play. She has so much potential in terms of healing, and I like her sniper more than Widow's lol. Switching to Mercy after playing Ana is really jarring and slow.
Blizzard deserves praise, they did good with the sniper healer concept. Can't wait for Sombra.

I still fear Bastions, but with weakened Torb turrets i'm emboldened when i see Attack Torbs on the other team, doesn't happen often, only one game out of six that i've played lately but i'll take all the help i can get solo playing.
It's all about out-of-sight fire with Junkrat, it's why he is used in the competitve meta
You play Attack Torb unironically? Not to stereotype but I think that's the type of pick that makes people disparage your rank lol. Torb is honestly just a way to see if you can set a world record on how fast the enemy team can build their ults.
Yeah but on payload maps like Route 66 it's not really possible.
You need to be pretty close for the ult to be at its max damage, if you're too high the rockets are just too spread out to kill multiple people at once. And, of course, you're super vulnerable when you're doing it so you have to sneak behind them and surprise them, otherwise they're just gonna focus you all at once since they're grouped up. Here's a few tips: https://youtu.be/3WWF-V87UGM

That's when you gotta sneak up on them from behind, or ignore D.Va as Junkrat cause you kinda lose that matchup. Pick off the quicker flanking heroes and/or the supports.
Most tanks you can send flying with the mine, but D.Va don't care.
Just don't be me and clip buildings with rockets on Ilios and kill yourself with the ult...

It does a lot more damage the closer you are so what you want to do is to sneak up behind the enemy team real low and let it rip. Too high and your dps will be garbage and you're asking to be shot down. Also don't ult a Reinhardt shield. If there's anyone behind it with a decent weapon they can kill you before it breaks.

This is how I feel any time I end up switching to McCree.
just wait for DM to run out.
So, never?

something I learned is that you still have to aim w/ da reticle when Pharah ulting. D'oh! I used to ult at a group all willy-nilly and wonder why I MAYBE killed one person, meanwhile I would witness enemy Pharah's wiping my entire team (never failing to hit me, of course!)... then it dawned on me while watching the rockets come my way on kill cam that the enemy Pharah was DEFINITELY targeting me... ha!
so yeah, try and aim at specific targets as the ult runs. Its not like Junkrat, D.Va or Reapers ult at all.
srsly tho, D.Va's ult isn't endless, and they will eventually try to shoot back or run, so just spam grenades. And pray. LOL

Had an interesting game this past weekend with 2 top 500 players on my team. Our team comp was good except for the guy who played Symmetra (SR 63, I was SR64 and we were the lowest in the game), once they broke through Numbani to start the payload... the guy just basically quit the game, he stayed in the spawn point spamming "Hello!" and just setting sentries in there, we of course lost the round convincingly. He continued with Symmetra on attack, I had to pick lucio (I'm not a good lucio) since this guy was obviously not going to play and we absolutely needed the Lucio/Zenyatta combo to even attempt to win. Needless to say, we barely took over the capture point and easily started moving the payload. The trolling Sym, figures out that we're going to win this with our without him (we made it to checkpoint 2 without his help) and finally starts to contribute (changed to Winston). We made it to sudden death and barely won (we had to defend).
I should note, our team didn't say shit about the Symmetra pick until the second round, in which someone told him if he could stop trolling with Symmetra. I don't think Sym is a bad pick on Numbani, but if you die within the first minute without doing any damage, you might want to reconsider the pick.
Moral of the story? Never give up.

The real moral of the story is, even if you consider yourself a tank/dps player, learn support characters so you can help the top 500 players carry you.
