I don't exactly know, but Overwatch is the healthiest game on the market right now...so I guess yes? Controller is fine against console players. You can also reconfigure every button for every champion - have fun!

Solo queued som competitive last night and had one of the worst sessions I can remember. 6 straight loses and the majority were my team getting stomped. Another two times we got defending on the coin flip and both sides were capping points handily. Not fun. Then I remembered this may be the worst time to be playing competitive as the try hands will be out in full trying to reach rank 60 by the 17th. Queued a game of Quick Play and my team went 2-0 on KOTH. Got my first win of the day bonus and called it a night.
Back down to 54 after being at 58 multiple times, and now I think I am done with this season unless there is a group to play with. Still not bad considering I was at 43 at one point.

Is Ana worth learning? I love her kit, and honestly her Ult is a gamechanger when performed correctly. Dont see too many around for some reason, she's so strong when used well
Attack Dorado. In the spawn room waiting for the game to start. We have two Genjis. Then one of them leaves. We get an attack Bastion instead. The remaining Genji switches to Hanzo. No one wants to play a healer at all. Looks doomed.
Halfway through the map I wonder why we're winning when no one is even playing properly. Notice the enemy team has 3 Genjis and 2 Pharahs, even though we have a Winston. We win. I lost 10 IQ from that match. QP quality is the dogs right now.

I finally succumbed and tried out Competitive, it is fucking tense, I switched over to QP after a couple of matches and god damn was it a relief and it also felt pretty easy. There is also significant hollow feeling over the lack of progression/achievement when playing QP which is something I don't entirely mind. At least we do get XP just as much as Competitive.

Sure. Has the highest learning curve though. You need to make sure you get 60% accuracy at the very least.
Best part is those 3 stupid genjis refuses to switch out despite have 2 winstons which is me and duckroll zapping their ass. We practically carried the whole team to win. God, it's bad enough Comp leave a bad taste in my mouth now I have to deal with wannabe snipers in QP.
It's not that hard with Ana. Your allies are closer to you than your allies and the healing hitbox seems to be huge. I can land darts easily while jumping to far away Genji.
Landing them to the enemy is another story. She does a lot of damage, but her shots are difficult to land.
She's way trickier to learn than Lucio and Mercy, but that's not saying much.

So I grinded like 30 levels this past weekend trying to get a Tracer Summer skin. I got Zarya, Lucio, McCree, Mercy skins and a couple of emotes, plus a couple of non summer legendaries.
Got on last night with my roommate and played a few games. We both got a box on our third game, he opens it and gets the Track and Field skin (he didnt play all weekend like I did). I begrudgingly congratulate him and open my box.... Track and Field skin! That CANT be a coincidence can it?? What are the chances of that happening lol

In Quick tried defending Kingsrow with all Bastions. It did not go well right off the bat.
Today I learned that the first number in a battle.net ID usually tells you their region. I've seen a few exceptions to this rule, I'm not sure if it depends on how you originally created your battle.net ID or what. However, usually:
Name#1xxxx is Americas
Name#2xxxx is Europe
etc.
Now when you see someone just asking for friends and they throw in their battle.net ID without bothering to specify that they're from Alabama, at least you can tell if it makes any sense to add them.

I swear my matchmaking mmr is higher than my competitive skill ranking. I play some quickplay against troll turret comps and we wreck them, as we should. I join a comp match attacking hollywood against torb, bastion and sym and our team gets wrecked. The worst.
Whats the best tank against a turret heavy team? D.Va?

They all are decent sans Hog. Zarya can charge her shield easily against turrets and corner blast them with her alt-fire. DVA and Winston can just rush a Torb and turret and wreck them. Rein can lead a team past them or close enough.

Still haven't gotten a single costume after 25+ level ups over the past week or so.
What is luck.

Yea, that or have Reinhardt hold his shield while someone else like pharah destroys them. Pharah in general deals a lot of damage in a few shots so she can easily poke them from afar. Genii is also great if you can sneak in and reflect damage back.

I really do appreciate it. I played some on a friends PC and liked what little i played of the beta on Xbox. As long as it has good gamepad support and 60fps on consoles i should be fine. Im just looking for a game to fall asleep to every night lol, much like i do with blops3.

I was playing Rein but no one was staying behind my shield
Our team was all over the map in the worst way. Playing Rein feels like trying to corral chickens sometimes!You cant use determine skill by level in this bugged out season. Elo hell exists.

That silly little love heart the young'uns do these days.
It's so frustrating playing Reinhardt when nobody takes advantage of your shield.
The amount of times I have teammate's step through the shield to fire at enemies is just mind boggling.
However, an aggressive team like that means Zarya would be more effective so I'll switch and be at high energy most of the game.

Right. Then she like explodes it, I guess?

Had 3 so far, so annoying.
Today in competitive:
I respawn and notice how our McCree pops his ultimate in our base, GG
Surprisingly we went on to win the game which was one of the clutches plays I've ever witnessed, boy was it intense, came down to overtime, I was on the point for so long, I managed to charge my ultimate 3x, as an attacker without dying.

Stuff like this wears on me, usually the enemy team has two genjis and no one switches to Winston and we lose. If i switch off support then we'll have no support. Also why i'm leaning towards playing more Comp.

How do you put the "Defend the Control Point" thing I keep seeing, which button does that on PC?

This roadhog gif is hilarious: https://gfycat.com/UnitedRigidAmericanwirehair
Aim at the objective and press F. It's the "Understood" button, but it is context sensitive on the objective.
How much damage is the boost?

Really just wanted a good few relaxing KotH games today.
Nothing but payload and 2CP. D:

Ha, that's pretty funny.
I try to do this sometimes, except I end up usually screwing up somehow and killing my whole team.
Not a ton (50?) But enough to finish off fleeing enemies in my experience. Plus, it has a slight knockback, so whenever anyone on ilios is close to an edge I just boost bump them off the cliff.
Edit: Ahh, seems im not the only one who does that.

Though seriously, it looked like it would have landed on a roof and not killed anyone.

For sure, the shorter timer makes the aerial blast harder to time.

I've had 4 or 5 of Nihon Genji, and still no sign of American McCree, which is the last one I really want. Screw you, RNG god.
