I think once Season 2 starts later in September, I'm not going to touch it unless I have a team that I can communicate and collaborate with. I'll probably join with various GAF members, when it comes down to it.
 
If anyone on PS4 trying to get the last push to 65 and is in the 60s (Or just higher and wants to play), I'm up.

Currently rank 69. I use Zenyetta/Zarya mostly, but I can play pretty much anyone well enough to be useful.

PSN is SgtWiggles.

Goddamn it people, when you're defending and you're seconds away from winning despite the enemy team nearly taking the objective, stay on the bloody objective.

Is Mercy + Lucio a good combo? I was thinking of keeping Lucio alive while he keeps up his heal. I'm just not sure how effective that is in practice.

If doing double heals, people usually go for Zen over Mercy cause he's able to heal, attack, and debuff at the same time. Mercy can only do one at a time.

Wow, Blizzard decided to #bless me with not one, not two, but THREE different groups of all fun to play with, not dumb/selfish, and win focused teammates! With their help I managed to get out of the low 50s and now I'm on the door of 59. Looking at it, I'll probably have to hop on in a bit and hope for the best if I want to get to 60 before the season ends at 4 tomorrow since I'll be at work.

One funny game during all of this was playing with my first top 500 dude. Guy was an AMAZING Tracer, the stuff of nightmares for the other team I'm assuming. His rank + the other wildly different ranks on our team (47-63) + playing in the middle of the night gave us some terrible matchups tho lmao.

At one point we got into a Kings Row game with a average rating of like 74 on the enemy team with 3 dudes in the top 500 and the rest 71-76s vs our average of 61 hahah. We got murked. I got to see how the other side plays at least.

Really? you can get banned for trolling? i'm ok with this.

Yeah I've reported one.

Dude was trolling with sym too at the same match. All because he thought we walking it in for the final stretch of 66 or something. When we got it nearly all the way to the final point and could have won it by working together to stop them getting the distance.

He was playing alright as junkrat during the attack phase too, just got pissy for no reason.

Soooooooo yeah.

I have a question about the speed of non-hitscan projectiles.

Are they affected by your momentum?

For example, Symmetra's energy ball seems pretty slow. But does it go after if I fire it while running forward vs standing still?

Nope, there's no projectile inheritance in Overwatch.

They showed the ram clearly as a payload to take to the castle. I'm wondering how the map is going to work, but I guess we will find out on the PTR soon.

I think that the ram works just like the gates after each checkpoint in Dorado or Hollywood, but it looks a lot cooler.

Had a guy tonight we asked to switch to a second tank for us from junkrat he then switched to bastion sat in a corner typing "gg this team sucks" before the match was even close to being done. Then told us all that he is better than us and he can do what he wants because we are "fuck bois".

Maybe it was the same guy :p

Why'd you get banned in the first place?

Got my account hacked via not changing my password in forever and it being in some data breach from when I used it regularly, 2013ish probably. He didn't change my password so I locked him out quickly, weird.

The refund request on the $70 got me banned for a day and a half because someone thought I didn't get my account back and was trying to lock the guy out <_<

Looking forward to streamers showing off the new map tomorrow. Disappointed it's not reverse hybrid but keen to see how the verticality changes things up.

Speaking of, the PTR put up a 1.5GB patch tonight.
Cap the point to get the ram, escort it up to the gate, break down door, keep escorting into throne room. Win.
 
That would be pretty cool if it was a reverse payload, where you have to scale the throne room.

I wonder if they're beating themselves up for not thinking outside the box.

Goddamnit.

I thought it was the 22nd, where I can finally have a weekend not spent working to grind out some points/levels. :(

Oh well, here's looking forward to season 2.
 
Just had the best Zarya game ever.

We got smoked on offense for Dorado. Overtime to reach the first checkpoint. Didn't even make it to the final checkpoint. It was a done deal.

They didn't move it for like the final five minutes after they got within 5m of winning, it was amazing. My team stepped it up, but I was holding that line so well, didn't die at all and always had like 70+ charge.

Ended 38-7.

I entered a match with 10 seconds left, this Reinhardt player was angry,bitching and complaining about the 2 genjis on the team calling them useless and we lost. Then the end game card showed the Reinhardt player before he was Reinhardt he played Hanzo....LOL

I don't care because I got a lootbox without playing a match lol. Save me time.

Yeah, Eichenwalde is not a reverse hybrid. It's just regular, cap the payload and then move it.

Wait, then what is the lore point of taking a battery ram into a throne room? Who are they gonna rammed in the the throne room?
 
Was paired up with some pretty shitty teams in QP tonight, had a lot of games where it was just a steamroll and I couldn't do anything, was getting gold medals for 3 eliminations on payload maps, that's how bad it was.

Made up for it by finally getting a competent team for my final two matches on King's Row - on attack I had a great match as Reinhardt and while I didn't get any medals I did a lot of defending the payload and keeping the enemy from killing my team, so I felt good about my performance. Then on Defense I cranked out four gold medals as D.Va, went 17-2 in keeping the enemy team from even capturing the initial point and even got the elusive Shot Down trophy by using the defense matrix to block a Roadhog's ult completely.

Those good matches where the team clicks are what make all those lame losing streaks worth it.

Look, you're talking about a game where someone can fire macross missiles from their suit and still have to use battering rams to open doors.

Yes but every payload had a purpose linked to the final destination. If the mission is to recover the remains, what does the payload do in the throne room?!
