I think my enjoyment of the game dropped significantly when Ana came out
the Ana/D.Va never dying meta is so bad

Anyone have a hard time switching from console to PC?
Probably a dumb question as I guess it varies person to person depending on experience. I just picked this up on PC after being hooked for the past few months on PS4. I don't like hogging the TV I share with my room mates so I decided to give it a try and JESUS I am bad with mouse/kb! It's my own fault as I've never really been into competitive shooters on PC. Being somewhat competent with a portion of the heroes means eff all when you can barely aim. I would just plug in a controller but I think I'd be at a serious disadvantage.
There's very little chance of a refund I suppose but I sent a request anyway. Didn't clock in much time.

Same here. I've played 18 matches of Season 3 so far and I have won 4 of them; drawing 3. Those 4 wins were in placement matches but they've all but been wiped out as I'm now in the mid 1800s in rank. Every game I seem to end up with either a team full of idiots who think calling people dickheads will get them to do something (I always pick Hanzo when they do this just to rile 'em up, it's so fun) or I end up with a decent team with a decent composition that just ends up getting completely steamrolled.
I also only have Yeti Winston from the three skins I actually wanted (Zenyatta and Torb) this Christmas.
This fuckin' game man.

Watching Twitch earlier and this Ana ult was so messed up:

The last match I played we lost objective and were failing to stop the payload so after dying 4 times I switched to Mercy. We instantly held strong and won and I got 8 points to get MVP but I'm not sure it made up for how boring it was to play as Mercy.
It's just because he pressed it late, he had to wade through all the people to get to the Soldier that was already behind a wall. So the cursor defaulted to the Earthshatter'd Lucio he standing on top of.
You can see the reticle move to the Lucio just before he presses Q, because he loses LoS with Soldier.

I can see how it happened.
When he wanted to boost the 76 was no longer a valid target as he went behind the wall but the lucio that was under him became the target. But since he was standing on the lucio the target on the lucio didn't show up on screen.
You better be Fry in this situation
Absolutely. I think he likes Rein the most. But I've shown him the greatness that is Zenyatta and he knows to fill in as a tank or any healer when it's necessary. And once you have a good team fight where a bunch of people are fighting over a point why would you want to play the game any other way?
Hey man he's 11 he wants to see some kills pop up
But I mostly took over Zenyatta. Turns out grouping with a level 1 lets you dominate in quick play for some reason

is the joke that fry is dumb and suggests mercy as a support?
I just hate that I had to do placement matches again. Why? What's the point of doing that, especially since I worked my ass off last season to try to get away from all that toxicity?
I don't know. I want people to join me and help me on this forum, as I'm done being surrounded by idiots. StacticJam was great to join me, but he bailed before the match had ended.

My free Christmas loot boxes were so crappy lol, but I already expect as much because of my luck the previous day:
First time I've ever had double legendary in the single box AND it was mah Zenny one I wanted!
So good, saved 3000 coins I would have spent on it if I hadn't got it (like the Mercy one last time).

LOL. That was my thought as well. Let new players explore at their own pace and play what they want. If supports aren't "attractive" enough for people coming in then that's a game design problem.
This is how far we've gotten since release in less than a year. This gif was "omg perfect" back at the release. Now, sure, mercy is not great, but it remains that you'll get a team where the game suggests no support and the last person still picks a useless character instead of a support.
Placement partially takes into account last season ranks as well. Also, placement matches take more emphasis on your personal performance than a win or loss. It's how you had people losing 7 games and still being placed in GM.

My much older brother tried the game for the first time today. He picked genji before even scrolling through all of the characters because he looked cool.
Stereotypes are real.

She has the 2nd best healing output in the game, can defend herself and has amazing utility. I play on qp/ gold ps4 and she still shines
Maybe I should pay more attention to her.
My typical experience with an Ana player is her using her ultimate at the absolute worst time.
QP was kind of a bag today, but damn if it still isn't fun losing. I'm almost about to prestige for a second time, so I was thinking about waiting for the January deal (if it happens) so I can roll in some easy loot boxes.
Plus, if I play this I run into the old World of Warcraft problem where I literally don't play any other game.

CP too. All the fucking children finished up celebrating xmas and are now playing. Just got multiple teams where I was surrounded by 5 mongoloids. Screw this game sometimes.
its usually very rare that this happens but Ive had a lot of matches where no one picks healer but Widow/ Hanzo are instalocked. Some are decent but most are bad.
I usually play zen or Lucio when going support but if there are 2-3 tanks picked, I might go Ana because she shines so much on tank heavy teams. Large hit boxes and heavy healing speeds.
She's not the 2nd best healing. She is BY FAR the highest single target healing output. She heals 50% faster than Mercy without the grenade buff. The grenade does 100 instant healing and then lets her output 180 healing a second. She's capable of healing the speed of 3 mercies during grenade buff timeframe.
If you see Widow and Hanzo instalocked, it's usually a good sign to quit and find a new game immediately. Doubly so if it's a KotH map.
I'll add attack bastions to that list

Look on the bright side. You can play comp with me now!
Truly the best Christmas gift of all.

No. They changed it to make people stop putting the game down completely right before events. You actually get loot boxes faster on average now anyway, so it's really not a big deal.
Just wait until you see what I got you for Boxing Day.
Still though, was looking forward to getting those boxes at a super quick pace.

Just send Blizzard one easy payment of $39.99 and you'll get your wish.
they made it so that all levels cap out at 20k
I don't know if I should be excited or afraid.
Hey. Why did you bail out on me?

Well shit, I just assumed Mercy healed faster because she doesn't have anything else going for her. That's stupid as hell. I mean I know she doesn't need to aim like Ana does but I play Ana right next to my teammates so hitting them is hardly an issue, especially tanks.
Shouldn't it be your younger brother then?
I was playing way too bad and didn't want to drag you down at all.
