Yep, I've given up on 1v1, I provide motivational support over aiming well.

Yup its down.
Tried the web sign in on bnet as well.
Think its maintenance going from the error code.

I see it more like weekly resets in wow. The day of the reset you can find groups for things faster because people just want to get it over with early. The later in the week you try the more you wait.

It's really weird, because in actual games I do best as Support/Tank - Zen/Lucio had my best performance in Season 2 of Comp with D.Va/Zarya being the runner-ups. But in 1v1 or 3v3 I can excel at face-offs and usually do really well as the DPS.
I think it's because in the heat of team battle as DPS I don't go for picks and put myself in situations where I can be picked off because of poor team positional awareness. Who knows.

Looking forward to calibrating tonight / tomorrow.
Want to try and grind out a push to Diamond this time.
It'll be nice to play D.Va and S76 a bit more since I've always liked playing them and they're more in the meta as of now.
I want to get better at playing Sombra as well, she's fun to play but I have trouble staying alive as her, just like when I play Tracer.

when the new patch for 1v1 and 3v3 on custom comes out, we can finally say 1v1 me to your friends
it's not all about aiming well tho. since there are heros that don't require precise aiming. its all about knowing the winning criteria for that hero's 1v1 match up
well 1v1 as identical tank is kinda weird and could be slow. its base on who's going to mess up and do the wrong thing first most of the time.
like for rein, you don't want to be the first to charge. hog, don't want to be the first to hook. probably dva, don't want the first to dm???

The characters in this game are really not designed to be played 1v1 against themselves. Pretty much all strategy gets thrown out the window and it's a complete mess.

I agree. Played it once and never looked back.
i agree but there is some winning criteria like the one i posted on rein and hog. just need to figure it out.

Or you just don't charge/hook/DM ever because they're completely worthless in that environment.
It pretty much always just comes down to who had better aim or better luck.
And don't even get me started on Symmetra and Winston.
for symmetra, its who ever gets the first primary fire to land/stick. winston, land the first jump damage then just tesla away.

Neither of these matchups typically play out like that though.

Any Tracer players think that it's easier to stick people with the pulse bomb? I've been sticking and getting stuck more often than ever.

Any chance the redesigned Symmetra goes live today?

It's possible you've just gotten better at it. As far as I know, nothing was changed regarding Pulse Bomb.
didnt jeff said symmetra's rework wont complete until mid dec or something?

I think he may have meant in terms of designing it, not balancing it. They're ahead of schedule if that's the case.
I hope thats the case for it being down on PS4.
I'm getting relatively decent at Ana which is a feat since I sssssuuuuuuuuuuuuuccccccckkkkk so much as with Snipers.
Anyone who enjoys the occasional casual chat followed by some strategic elements and likes to play quickplay? I never played competitive because it just always seemed too toxic and stressful and the only stats I care about are my playtime with characters so I keep it fun even when we are losing hardcore.
Would also enjoy hanging out with players who can give good tips and me in return. I'm slowly learning that D.va and Reinhardt are Ana's BFFs.
gamertag is Dedvalve and just send a quick message saying overwatch gaffer or something because I usually just ignore random friend requests.

Don't see why they would. Pretty sure you can buy boxes while the game/console isn't even turned on.

For the first time since I started I don't feel an uncontrollable urge to play the game. It's been awhile, and when I did boot it up I just played one game and then stopped.
Hopefully it's just temporary. I'd like to come back for season 3, I think I will be much worse ranking wise though.

I was actually planning to accept your invite last night after finishing my netflix episode, but then my friend wanted to get drunk for his birthday.
If only. I do want to watch more Ghibli movies but I have to wait for them to arrive.

Meanwhile, my friend decided to get drunk, so I just watched a bunch of anime on Netflix.
True story.

True. But Rein in 1v1 is all about mind games, just like Rein v Rein in a regular match. D.Va is a weird case - the one D.Va match I played I won by getting knocked out of my mech first, building up charge by taking on the other D.Va's mech, then being able to get back in my mech and obliterate my opponent before they could call theirs back. I don't know if that would work every time, but it worked for me!
I feel like there's a lot more QOL things that need to be added before Symmetra changes go live - things like voice lines, animations, etc. that don't normally come with other balance changes. I wouldn't expect her to go live for at least another week or two.

The Xmas patch is probably going to be December 6th to be as close to 3 weeks before Xmas as possible, right? I know Mei needs a new skin and I have a feel that it's going to be a good Xmas for her.
I'm just happy to not play with widowmakers anymore.

What kind of anime does Netflix have?
Two and halve weeks ago I went on a much needed holiday, didn't play any Overwatch at all during that time. I'm back now and so much has changed:
- Sombra released
- Genji nexus challenge
- Season 2 competive ended
- Symmetra redesign on PTR
- 100 new pages in this thread
My world has changed. On that note are there still people out there needing to do the Nexus challenge? I still need to get started on it, but not before I satisfy my Overwatch thirst first.

Mostly TV stuff. I was continuing Gurren Lagann and then I decided to start Samurai Flamenco and got a few episodes into that.
Fortunately, Yu-Gi-Oh is gone, so my suffering has ended.
Isn't there scheduled maintenance/updates?

I still need to do it. MarioHead3#1498 if you want to add me.
I've actually started playing more Heroes of the Storm because I enjoyed the Nexus challenge so much with a buddy of mine. Anytime I am online and in HotS feel free to msg me and I will play some vs AI matches with you to get you your Genji stuff. Matmanx1#1920
On ps4 euro and it won't log in to battle.net too damnit.
Thanks added you both, you guys NA or EU (MarioHead is NA I think).
I'm currently having issues logging in, I can't login to Overwatch or HotS, login button stays grayed out when I fill in my account name and password. I hope Blizzard quickly fixes this.
I've been thinking about doing the Nexus Challenge. I have played literally zero Heroes of the Storm (or any other MOBA) but that sweet Oni skin is calling to me.
I took a week or so off of Overwatch right before the end of Season 2 and did the Nexus Challenge with a friend of mine for Heroes of the Storm. I've found HotS to be a pretty good palette cleanser (so to speak) for Overwatch in that it has similarities but is a little bit slower paced and less reliant on twitch skills for most heroes.
The last couple of nights I've tried to do an hour or so of Quick Play in Overwatch to tune up for the beginning of Season 3 and can I just say how much I am enjoying the new 1 Hero Limit in QP? (THANK YOU BLIZZARD!) Life is so much better with a 1 Hero Limit!
Season 2 was worse than Season 1 for me in terms of losing streaks and seeming mis-matches and I don't know if that was Blizzard's bad placement algorithm or other circumstances but here's hoping Season 3 is a little bit more even experience. I expect I will still be rocking mostly Tank and Support (Rein/Zarya/Winston or Zen/Lucio/Ana/Mercy) but will try to be flexible as needed.
In fact, the big takeaway from Season 2 for me was to be willing to switch heroes quickly when something isn't working. So far in Quick Play that strategy seems to be serving me well.

I want a petition to remove her from the game because she's fucking worthless.

You've clearly never experienced the pain of playing against a Top 500 Widow main.
