People keep saying this but since her heals work that way (75hp over 1 second) she can preemptively heal full health allies that are about to take damage.
"I was all gold elims" excuse incoming.
is it region locked? so i f i am in south america i only play in those servers?

Last I checked the game search time for PC was 12 seconds.
Something is definitely not working right on your end. You sure you're trying quick play and not AI? AI matches I can see taking long.
You can choose the server on the Battle.net client. Above the "Play" button.
It matches based on ping times, so if you're trying to connect way out of your region, that may be the problem.
It makes sense though. Rein is also one of the original OW members. Like Ana, he probably knew Widow before she got turned. Hard to smash someone you know with a hammer. Deep lore.

They said the mercy did it but Im pretty sure I was the last to die on the point using my pharah ultimate.
me:
Wait, what glitch?
man i bet rein smashed that all the time back in the day AM I RIGHT GUYS UP TOP
look at first image, the overtime timer wasn't going down even though we had no one on the point. that's why in the chat everyone was screaming bullshit.
Actually I'm pretty sure Rein is gay.
It's a known bug, nobody knows what triggers it yet.
From a video someone on reddit posted 2 weeks ago: Link
She almost certainly will be nerfed. Quite a few pros are already talking about how Ana charges her ult way too quickly and some have said its worse than the old Mercy ult charge.
If 3/3 becomes incredibly popular, expect the backlash to be swift.
So he has a secret crush on Torbjorn ?
Secret? Why do you think Torb's turret is always behind a Reinhardt?
I would have to say Widowmaker (because Hanzo has the same ability, just on a smaller scale). Pharah probably has the hardest ult in the game to use correctly versus a competent team though.
I think ranks and skill levels are fairly squished on the PC. 1800 - 2800 comprises the majority of the player base and to place above or below that you have to be a fairly big statistical outlier.
Interesting match. I do think Ana's charge rate is going to be lowered but they will have to give her something in return or like you said, she will be out completely.
This is me, most of the time. It's one of the things that makes a loss or string of losses so frustrating sometimes. It can be very difficult to pin down exactly why it all went wrong and if you could have done something to fix it.
Don't worry about stats, really. I stopped looking at Overbuff and the rest of those sites weeks ago and I am much, much happier.
Definitely something on your end. It usually takes me less than 20 seconds.

If they nerfed Ana's ult charge, they could increase the blast radius on her grenade. Or make it heal 150 instead of 100 to give her more self healing and survivability. Or decrease the cooldown on sleep dart. Or grenade cooldown.
I don't know, Ana has so much shit that there is a lot they could give back to her.

Theres cracks forming in the 3/3 meta. Bastion does a lot of work cracking it. They have nothing to really deal with a protected bastion.
It's amazing how bastion is coming back into the meta to counter these tank heavy comps

I personally don't think 3/3 will go very far. Top teams like Envy and Fnatic will still dominate with the usual 2/2/2 meta because of their insane DPS players. It's still too early to say though.
Also, when's the next major tourney that these teams are playing in? Haven't seen Envy play since they lost to Rogue.
The only team I've seen do it so far other than NiP was NRG, haven't seen any other teams attempt it.

words can't describe how stupid the stat tracking for comp is
I like playing some heroes only on defense or only on attack but you get punished for doing so because your stats are going to end up half than they should. they should really just make the stats reset after each match, ya know... how it already is in quick play.
do you get punished placement wise too for having low stats?

That's how it works in comp too lol
Comp matches are longer than QP, the stats would be completely fucked if it reset after each round....
Why wouldn't you get punished for having low stats in a ranked system that is based on your performance....

Definitely not my best Tracer game, but this was a fun round. I managed to force them off the point when they were about to win in overtime, and then again get them all of the point to secure the victory.
You might think that 90% of anything cool I do in this video is luck, and you are correct, but never underestimate being in the right place at the right time. And yes tagging the ground did indeed make it into the POTG.

It should reset after each round in Season 3 though. I want to play Mei on defense but not on offense or Zenyatta on offense but not defense but then my Mei stats and Zen stats would be half the global averages because for some reason they don't reset the tracking after each match.
I don't think you understand me maybe?
edit: and as far as your edit goes, because your stats will vary wildly if you hero switch in between rounds?

Reunited, pine, rogue and plenty of other have gone 3/3.

Except this game is all about switching heroes mid match........
Whippy: ah ok, hadn't seen them try it. idk, ill wait to see how this works against the best teams(Envy, Fnatic, C9, etc).

I know, and you get punished statswise in comp for switching heroes mid-match (not sure how they would fix this one tbh) or mid-game(this one is easy though, just make the stats reset after each match like QP).

And it matters, why?
Your comp placement stats aren't affected by individual hero stats, but by your overall performance.
Your stats(I'm assuming your talking about overbuff stats or something) aren't going to be tainted because it takes into account how much time you played on those characters and take your average stats.

Learn something new everyday. Apparently the ragdoll physics are generated on the fly, even for Highlights/Plays of the Match. Was watching a highlight where my Mercy rezzed two people and then got ragdolled into the stratosphere by a Junkrat mine. Got a chuckle and decided to watch it again, only to see Mercy not ragdoll at all. Tested it a few more times and Mercy flopped around in different ways each time. Kinda interesting that the flying corpse data isn't saved with the other match info for those highlights.

Right it should be tracked by per min. Doesn't matter how long you play a character for then.
Am I the only person annoyed by the removal of losses in QP? Haven't seen anyone else mention it. Now after a long session I have no idea how many games I played or if I did well.

Oh okay, you just said it was affected by those stats so I was confused. But still, say you're a Mercy one round and a Reaper the next. Your healing for Mercy will be half of what it should be and your damage for Reaper will also be half. Would that not affect placement?
And even if it doesn't, why don't they just reset them after each match?
How about this idea for a new Widowmaker ult? It makes bodyshots do headshot damage for a few seconds. Or only fully charged bodyshots with the time extended a bit more, if needed for balance.
If it's too powerful, I'd accept Blizzard giving only me this version, so I could actually do damage with Widow.

I -think- what they're saying is, your 5 main medals (elims, damage done, etc.) are what determines placements and rank points, not individual champ stats.

Because the game takes into account how much time you played on each character, so it takes your average stats based on time played with each character.
You're a little LTTP, because we've talked about it before.
And I am also annoyed, since I usually used those stats as a general idea on what I needed to improve on.
Envy themselves have said on stream that they find 3/3 very hard to deal with. They're calling it the new cancer comp.
Edit: Next major tournament is the Overwatch Open LAN in 1.5 weeks

ah ok, the more you know. I guess you won't be getting gold medals or anything but still that's better than how I thought it was.
I still think they should be reset after each match but I digress.
anyway I had a dream ft. some Overwatch characters last night (yeah....) and D.va's name wasn't D.va but "Mei-Zing". lol

I don't know, it's still a little early to say if 3/3 will last. People are still learning about counters, like mentioned earlier about Bastion coming into play.
I think that the Overwatch Open you mentioned will really show if it's here to stay.
The Overwatch Open will definitely be the litmus test but I think the main concern is that the main 3/3 counter strats requires comps that will get murdered by 2/2/2 and the defender can't be sure if the attacker will run 3/3 or 2/2/2. That might allow for really quick first point captures and ult snowball.
