Really? Sucks to hear after they've been doing so good lately. Would be a shame if Tviq left Rogue too. Guess iddqd would be on the potential roster for that team

Reinforce is the other Swedish player on Rogue that might leave too. Zeboosai, Nevix, TviQ, Reinforce + 2 other Swedes? IDDQD was on Rogue with TviQ before and it didn't work out, plus he is sitill under contract. It would be surprising to see him get in under those circumstances.

I think that Swedish super star team could be pretty good.

 

[caesar]

I wake up to see Misfits has disbanded :<

They're looking to put together a super team of Swedish players apparently? Rumor has it TviQ might be going into the new roster? I'm confused ;~;

Wuttt

 

[Azoor]

Whats a good way to get better at team synergy or counter picks?

Try and learn what hero combos work best for each map and try to politely suggest that to your teammates.

And no matter what, don't be toxic.

 

[Bumbletron]

I'm all for Rogue with SoOn and aKm both. That sounds fantastic.

 

[Red Arremer]

I think both events (Summer, Halloween) went for about 3 weeks. I said the 13th because if I'm remembering it right that was the date that came out with the leak.

Well the 13th wasn't part of the actually datamined stuff, it was speculation on part of the leaker.

I guess it kind of makes sense in the context of Blizzard wanting to push to a regional team model with their plans for the Overwatch league? I dunno how close to reality those plans actually are, what they talked about in the announcement sounded awesome but also like a bit of a pipe dream.

Also Nevix and TviQ are both projectile players aren't they? Might be a bit less than ideal not having a pure hitscan main

 

[Cappa]

You climbed a lot today, nice

You were 1 victory away from diamond, but you will get there because you are clearly above platinum rank.

And you guys dropped alot, i saw the group was full last night good thing too lol i won a whole bunch in a row just solo Qing i was even playing torb for most of them hahah

TviQ is actually an incredibly good Soldier and McCree player. He can honestly play whatever DPS he wants and I would not question it, he just always had aKm around anyways. Zebbosai is also on Widowmaker as well. The DPS slots I think can be totally okay that way. The bigger question in my mind would be how do they figure out tanks/supports. They obviously have the slows open to grab peope, but their coverage as is isn't terrible. Another D.Va/Winston/Hog specialist roaming around in Sweden somewhere?

Nevix and tviq can honestly play anything. Both top 5 in multiple heros.

Oh ok then, I remember seeing that date somewhere, glad it's just speculation. This way there's a chance that the event goes live sooner.

i hope we get the Symm update on consoles, this week.

and someone in a match said after playing through TF2 Lucio is super-easy, now.

 

[LAM09]

i hope we get the Symm update on consoles, this week.

Hoping that and the group up feature are available very soon.

 

[Anne]

If we get a patch with Symm this month, I hope she is nerfed from PTR. She is kinda ridic and hugely game changing on there atm.

I also hope we get just a nerf to Ana and maybe a slight hook CD increase. I don't want huge crazy balance changes, but those two stick out to me as possible things to change sooner and see what happens. I don't expect any more balance patches this year though >_>

 

[Herla]

Is there a particular reason why I keep getting matches against diamonds while my team is platinum and gold?
Cause it's not making the game very fun, to be honest. At least it's also just as common to find screaming whiners with mics, those are always hilarious.

 

[SuperSaiyanAkuma]

Competitive! Really want to try and get up those ranks.

what's the issue with symm on ptr?

 

[Habaneroguy]

What do you guys think of the Sony Tac Pro, or the Xim 4 m&kb adapter for ps4? Is it cheating, or a viable option?

 

[Anne]

She's buggy first off, second off the full implications of that shield generator are really nuts and not something I want to go live right now at 75 hp. Giving an entire team 75 x 6 HP at a time where I run into triple tank /every single comp game/ does not sound like my idea of fun.

ohhh ok i totally forgot about the shield generator

i was trying to figure out why her weird moving shield thing was considered op

 

[Skii]

It's funny and a bit sad that I can 1v1 Reaper in his own range as Soldier.

RIP Reaper.

 

[Bumbletron]

To be fair, this game reeeealy doesn't need more shields at the moment. And that thing can potentially block 1000 dmg at least.

The buff to tp would have been enough because that is pretty stupid as well tbh. It takes Genji or Winston far too long to take out 400 hp. And if they fail, it'll be back at 400 next time they try.

That's not even counting how big of a buff her turret stack increasing and cd decreasing actually is.

I see lots of posts on reddit and b.net claiming people are using m/kb on PC and they get so mad about it. I'm sure many (most?) of these complaints are just against people with better aim than them. Since it's just mapping your inputs to controller stick inputs, I can't imagine it would actually be as accurate as m/kb on PC but probably still gives you an advantage. Anyway since M/KB isn't officially supported by Blizzard on console, and you have to use one of those adaptors to trick it into thinking it's a controller, they might consider it cheating. But since it's sending controller inputs, I don't think they can detect its usage.

it's very easy to tell when people are using it on consoles because there are some like the xim which, while not as accurate as 1:1 mk/b, are still a huge step up over controller aiming. it's most obvious with widowmakers in the killcam - people who play a lot of console shooters will know what even the best aiming on a controller looks like and it still looks different to that.

fair enough. sounds like she's definitely not leaving the ptr for a while then

 

[Newtype-001]

Made it into platinum.
Might have made it earlier but people were leaving matches even though we were winning

Goal is still diamond.

 

[Yurikerr]

There's any secret to play with other gaffers? =/

No one responded on here or discord......

 

[Sullichin]

Downers in competitive:
- Quickly winning the first point, and having the match be cancelled because someone on the other team left. They need to fix this.
- To that point, people leaving or straight up throwing the game after we lose the first point in KOTH. It's best of 3 cmon, it doesn't mean we can't win
- half or all of my team over extending on defense every..fucking..time
- toxic people who are very rude about demanding things in team composition. There's a right way to do it.. try being polite to the people you want to help you win.
- people who will switch to a bad pick JUST to spite one of the people described above. Oh you say we need another tank? Hope you're happy I picked Widowmaker!
- people not willing to switch to counter the other team. I'm looking at all the junkrats who leave Pharah's unchecked
- Mei's ult charging way too fast
- being the only healer
- All the copypasta bullshit in group/team chat, it is never, ever funny
- roadhog's hook
- my team not embracing tranquility
- Open mics where the sound of a teammate mashing their keyboard is 10x louder than anything else I can hear

Grats!

I'm 100 away from Plat, but also shooting for Diamond.

Basically I'm 100 higher than I ended S2 at, but 200 lower than where I peaked S2 as well.

I didn't travel very far out of my calibration last season but I want to change that.

Congrats. Great start for a newbie to PC this season. Hoping to join you in platinum soon lol.

 

[KiraFA37]

Damn man I'm kinda salty right now. Sunday I played a dozen of comp matches, won nearly all of them bringing me 80SR from diamand, my season goal. This evening I played 3 matches lost them all, badly, one was toxic and the other 2 my team just couldn't kill. I went Tracer on the last point defense for route 66, I was Zenyatte before, and ended with gold elims. Ya'll complaining about weekend comp Overwatch being terrible but I have had my best matches during that time, monday evening on the other hand, worst time for matches for me. /endrant Going to play some Torbjorn in QP now to relax.

Sitting at a sweet 70% loss rate so far this season. Been really fun.

The soldier meta: blast everyone away until D.Va decides to sit on your face the rest of the match

Nerf Soldier. Nerf D.Va. And nerf biotic grenade for the love of all that is holy.

I hate it aswell
I didnt believe soldier was as bad as pre nerf dragonblade till today holy shit he came in and took out like 4 teamates on point. Luckily we still won that match.

As an Ana main dont nerf grenade plz

 

[bjork]

Got my first 1v1 win, because dude quit in the middle

go me!

I'm really not sure why Soldier is so good. He's so good at everything.

You have a game that's interesting because of all the unique movement and damage options, but then the most intentionally generic character utterly dominates the more interesting characters.

If I want to contribute the most to my team, I just pick Soldier because I can fall back on FPS standard tactics and help my team way more than I would if I played anyone interesting.

Why does D.va need a nerf? I don't know much about her.

D.va is too survivable at the moment, due to the health buff she has as much health as roadhog and winston and 66% of that is armor making her a damage sponge, add in the fact that she can boost in and out of combat and her defense matrix and that makes her very survivable. She needed a buffbut not both a health boost and movement speed boost while shooting. If they get rid of the health boost I think she will be okay.

 

[Bumbletron]

D.Va has too much health, great mobility, a way to escape as quickly as Winston. too much self defense with DM, and now has really great damage you can't get away from in time. All of this is phenomenally exacerbated by Ana's existence meaning she can almost literally never die.

Soldier wasn't this strong last patch. They buffed his damage per shot by 3. That made all the difference in the world.

 

[Anne]

Soldier isn't that big an issue tbh. D.Va, Roadhog, and Ana are far more problematic. There are plenty of ways to beat Soldier, plenty of reasons to run McCree over him too. Just, when have to play into those three characters Soldier is basically what you have to do.

D.Va just flat out not dying is hugely problematic for a large portion of the cast, including Soldier.

 

[Sullichin]

D.Va is so fucking strong now and it seems like she gets her ult charged like two times per payload checkpoint

 

[caesar]

Thing about Dva is literally anyone can fly into an isolated characters face and hold m2 before unloading. McCree is literally unplayable if the other team has a Dva because he can do nothing about it. Soldier can actually just 1v1 her with heal station or just run away. So busted.

 

[yeehamuffins]

Yeah, as somebody who plays a whole lot of Zarya, it seems like my task in almost every match is A) get to 100% charge as soon as possible and then B) deal with the enemy team's D.Va. Because they will have a D.Va, every single time. A bit harder with the nerf to Zarya's charge, but luckily for me most D.Va players are fairly trigger-happy, and quite readily charge up my beam for me. Still, I agree that D.Va got way too much of a buff.
