I do get 179 fps but since I'm not using v-sync, I can see tearing and I sometimes feel sick playing characters like Genji and Tracer. Hopefully with a locked 144fps on 144hz monitor will improve my accuracy.
I've been playing the PS4 version for the last week and have a few questions!
1) Can you party up in competitive play, or is it random only? I'm not level 25 yet, I'm just curious.
2) Is anyone here playing on PS4? Basically no one on my friends list is playing, and solo queue is killing me. Would love to maybe add some Gaffers and actually enjoy a string of games.

Won't be home til 2017 though.
I logged into my brothers account today because I'm at his place for the holidays. 17 unopened lootboxes. He doesn't even want them.
There is a competitive advantage to ultra-wide, at least in terms of the way things are right now. Overwatch locks the FoV at a realtively low number (106 at 16:10, I think) and having the FoV that low on ultra-wide would be borderline nauseating.
They would need to allow higher FoVs, but that would mean changing the maximum for other aspect ratios. No cap? No problem.
They are on both teams

Finally started getting serious about trying to reach Grandmaster/top 500 on Xbox One, currently at 3700+ SR. Been pretty much solo queuing and after playing with and against top 500 players in comp and outperforming them, I feel like that goal is totally reachable. I main D.Va, have over 200 hours across quick play and three comp seasons. Any team in need of a D.Va?
Here's a comp match from last night if anyone is interested in checking out my D.Va play or wants to critique - https://youtu.be/Kqqm6D7KYEQ

Yeah, a heal/damage toggle needs to happen for the grenade and the rifle too imo. God I hate Anas. Broken as fuck. I only made it to Diamond by constantly picking off Anas with attack Sym.

the rifle? no
mercy is for some reason the only healer who has to switch between heals/attack and even she shouldn't have to do it.
nade being a toggle is fine, but leave the gun
I dont know how you do it in solo queue. I am always the worse team. And nobody in chat to talk to.

We're at 3-3 on Route 66 the opponents are going to start attacking. They've only got 60 seconds to push the payload as fast as they can. After that we'll get 3+ minutes on attack. Easy peasy right ?
Our Reinhardt and I take position about 10 meters away from the payload, right before the first turn of the road, I figure let's block them right at the beginning so they don't get far and we get a sure victory on attack later.
Problem is, the rest of our team for some reason takes position on top of the gas station and starts spamming group up. 15 seconds before the round starts Reinhardt complies and my team just stands up there with the only medium/long range character being Soldier.
I'll let you figure out the fucking rest.

You screwed up in this case, high ground is always better. In fact you couldn't have picked a worse place to start defending. You do realise just how close you were to enemy spawn?
Holiday que has been so lopsided. Even QP is a steam roll now
the gas station is usually the best place to be for long range/ shield. Where you should have been depends on your character tho

But I did move of course, I wasn't going to stay by myself. We didn't have the right setup to defend here though, clearly.
Also "high ground is better" really doesn't work out that well for my teams since I made the move to diamond. Like at all.
Ouch. True though.
Depends on the engagement really. If you're defending it's usually better to use them to react to enemy ults. If you ult first on defense, even if you wipe the team you've bought yourself maybe 30 seconds before they regroup and attack again, and since they haven't ulted yet they'll still have them up while yours are used up.

Huge number of points loss on comp is so demoralizing.
It's like 1:1 with wins.
I wish they'd tone it down so I can at least climb up in some manner (even if crawl), considering the bad rng matchup I've been having.

I feel this is much better this season in that respect. Most of the time when I go 1:1 now I don't loose SR
That's probably because you get bonus SR for wins after you finish your placements. Afterwards it goes to normal gains.

I'm over 100 matches this seasons. It could just be because I suck a little bit less then lol
Your teammates were right. Defend the gas station.
Giving everyone 75 shields that regenerate allows Torb's armor to last longer. It's a great combo. Almost too great.

now is the perfect time to get that armour trophy
Yup got it a couple of days ago by accident while playing with some gaffers.
agreed unless they are awful the attackers will out attrition you.

See my post after that. I did. Of course I wouldn't stay on my own there, geez.

Wait there is a Windows 10 Store and an Origin version? Which one am I supposed to take?

Just sounds like your team doesn't know how to utilise it properly.
Not to say high ground is 100% fool proof of course, but it gives you an advantage in a lot of ways. Knowing when to get out of high ground is also something people need to know if they want to utilise it.
love playing against a team with Symm + Torb, we just steamroll them.
Wait what? You talking about buying the PC version? If so just get it from Battle.net. Difference between the base version and the Origin edition are some skins (which are totally worth it) and stuff to use in other Blizzard games.

I still feel like torb is so bad honestly, sym or no sym.

It's too difficult to consistently land Torb's left clicks, it feels almost the same as playing a rapid-fire Hanzo, except without the 1-hit potential. They should increase the speed or maybe decrease the arc, or something like that.
It took me like a dozen hours of practice to be able to get the primary fire down for him, it's no surprise you see so many lazy turret babysitters.
