I hope you reported that player. Overwatch does not need that kind of abuse going on and from what I hear Blizzard is fairly serious about at least temp banning those kinds of things as long as they are reported.

dang, the win streak bonus is REAL and it carries over to your next play, y'all! I posted last night I went on a 4 game winning streak b4 I tapped out, and gained 20-24 SR pts every win. Well I was bored this AM and gambled on an early morning match (I seem to have very good luck soloQ in the early AM (8-9PST) and evening (9:30-11PST)... and we won and I gained 36 SR pts, omg! Hopefully the odds are in my favour and I can stay winning. T__T *thinks happy thoughts!*
Even though wins seem to factor less, if you're on the winning team you have a bigger opportunity to perform well.

Point 2 is the one that really gets me. I wish their was a que for "has microphone, will communicate, understands team composition and roles" - regardless of SR. Like, mechanically I understand that I am average. I never got out of the 40's last season and I'm Gold tier now so I get that I am not the best player around. But I do have a mic, I do try to communicate and I am both flexible and willing and able to cooperate with folks who understand the game and want to try their best. I would LOVE to get matchmade with like-minded folks more often.
More clarity would be nice. I want to improve but short of "do everything better AND win the majority of your games!" I'm not sure how that is going to help me gain Comp points or move up in rank.
Remember to reach 3 just before the next event for them fast loot boxes.

wow! I just had a draw... hopefully this doesn't interrupt my streak's flow... T__T I'll report back! LOL
ETA: mmkay, just won my 6th match (after a draw, last game) and I can report the streak bonus LIVES! I received 36SR, again!
I've decided I am going to start recording my Overwatch matches for watching later. I have a 980ti in my PC and it supports Shadowplay which I hear is pretty easy to work with. My thought is maybe I can spot mistakes and areas of improvement in my own play and learn from what I am watching. Does anyone else do this?

Had a decent play session yesterday, should of stopped playing solo though.. such a gamble. Oddly enough, I had some very positive comments playing as Mei. Even had people 7 vote on my card people vote on my card (nothing special, 33 Object Kills). It was a very odd experience, definitely not one I'm used to. "Nice wall!", "Nice ult!", "thanks man you saved me (after freezing the other Mei)". Mei feeds on hate, I can't take the compliments!
Eichenwalde protip: Mei and Reinhardt can lock down that first chokepoint, if you're Mei/Rein, do not leave the chokepoint, let the team kill the flankers (unless of course your team is dying).

Too bad they fixed the from 0 to 5000 glitch. You would be a prime candidate.
Literally the lowest SR I've seen.
Man fuck this game.
went from 4-3 to 5-5.
We got steamrolled on Gibralter because of a single Reaper. We are completely stalled at our spawn enough that our Zarya has to ult 5 to clear which I proceed to do. But the Reaper is behind us and gets rid of me. I'm like "that's fine, there's 5 of us, we can get rid of him". NOPE. He kills everyone. Me and the Zarya got 5 kills and the rest of the team couldn't kill the solo Reaper. Our Mercy didn't res once or even heal me once. And of course we had attack Bastion.
Next game on Temple of Anubis is an embarrassing steamroll. But it was a 6 stack of platinum/diamonds vs 6 solo queue players with one gold. Completely fair match making. We can't even cap the first point naturally.
Final match is on Volskaya and we go 4 DPS, 1 Zarya and me as Zen and we somehow manage to capture both points fairly quickly. I think we were just individually better and we go on to win the match 3-2.
So now I'm rank 2456 which is essentially the exact same as the rank I ended last season with. I would be completely fine with this if my placement matches were remotely fair. But I was put up against a 6 stack, was disconnected from a game I was dominating thanks to Blizzard's servers and have just terrible players for my final 5 games. Attack Bastion. Attack Torbjorn. Shit Junkrats. Mercy who essentially rendered our team into a 5v6 etc.
Definitely not salty.

We should reach 40% today, it should be completed on oct 17th, and that's it.
I believed Chris Metzen would show her at Blizzcon, but he had a better plan in the end.
Nope, bronze players exist.

I'm new to this game and looking for a few pointers:
- I have no idea how to pick the right character for the right situation and beyond that
- I'm currently just going into game, picking a character and sticking with them to feel them out
- only had a few games so far but Tracer, Hanzo and Genji seem pretty cool (I'm literally just working left to right along the selection screen)
- I'm definitely know I'm "not playing it right" but at the minute I'm not sure what else to do
- tips?
Fun game though!

Lowest I've seen is a 1900. Is that silver or bronze?
He was streaming so decided to watch him and he was putting symettra turrets in his spawn on attack. On defence he placed the teleporter at the first attackers spawn point when they were on the second point. Couldn't tell if he was trolling as he was getting kills. Even got a quad and they managed to win. It was very weird to watch though.
just keep doing what you're doing. get used to the heroes and stick with who you're good with and learn the maps.
Silver. Bronze is 1-1499.
What sr are you at now?65SR, y'all. I want to stop BUT I CAN'T...

"Yeah, totally here to heal and buff you. Didn't fly up here to get away from the brutal shit going down on the point. Nope. All for you, Widow. All for you."

Anyone else getting frame drops or some weird stuttering on Eichenwald?
It's only on that map for me. I'm running clean 144hz/FPS on every other map.

what's your PSN again and who are you playing?
I plummeted last season. Maybe I just suck and need to accept it. All I want is diamond.
