The only thing I'm concerned about are the LOS checks. If Rein shield works against this, and I can't pull people off ledges above me because they moved two steps back that's bullshit.

I'm imagining the next support hero will be able to single target buff an allies cooldowns. Think like Zen's health orb, but this would reduce all cooldowns by 15% or something. So if your ability normally has a 10 second cooldown, now it's 8.5.

So the next PTR change only has the new hook? Nothing else. Damn they are slow with the balance stuff.
I look forward to the exact PTR changes being pushed to live no matter what making the whole thing meaningless.

In a similar position, constantly fluctuating in the 2800-2999 SR range, solo queueing.
Soooo frustrating, diamond is so close!

Who is your main? We can queue tonight.

Even though she's not very good right now she can still be annoying, even if she doesn't kill you I just hate being hacked or not being able to get a health kit. OP Sombra is something nobody wants.

Damn, that's impressive.
Lucio needs a flashlight down there. I have no idea what he's even latching on to half the time.

Has PS4 gotten the patch for new map? Haven't played in a few days
Instead of Lúcioball, they should make a brawl where you race against other Lúcios on a ridable obstacle course.

It's cool and all but what is he going to do when he pops up on the other end behind enemy line?

Amazing idea.
I barely touched competitive until this season, feels pointless to do quick play these days so I might as well work towards a shiny gun. I definitely don't have the time or patience to try and climb above Platinum, but I'm confident that I could if I tried. I'm content just playing with friends and winning half our matches. I only need 200 more competitive points to afford a gold weapon at season end anyways.
What determines how many points you get, anyways? Just X amount per win? Seems like I could farm more in the short term by continuing to play with my lower rated friends.

+10CP for a Win, +3CP for a Draw, nothing for a Loss.
And then obviously a payout bonus based on Season High at the end of each season.

Uncharted 4 had the former as an ability and it had to get nerfed to hell.
Would probably have to be an ult.
that explains my odd number of points. We had a weird streak of draws a while ago. We had a Volskaya go down to overtime on every single capture point until it went to a draw, took like 45 minutes or something. By the end all I could think of was I want to get off Mr. Bones' Wild Ride

some spastic fuck in comp thought symmetra was a counter to genji
Mercy is still good on console because controller aiming makes Ana a lot more difficult to play for reliable healing and Mercy can GA around the battlefield to survive a bit easier when tracking her is tougher.
In a weird way, I think console is more balanced than PC right now as far as tank meta not being supreme. Ana isn't as good. Harder to track smaller dps targets while tanks are easier to hit. Characters like Winston and reaper can shine more due to aim help.

The 5-5 Overtime draw on Volskaya from Season 2 was basically the worst experience I've ever had playing Overwatch.
She's not? I feel the turrets slow him down and if he's in range without slice the laser will eat him like Winston's does.

A single friend and I played in a 6 stack we made up with some decent randoms and we had like a 7 win streak going. At one point we got matched up with 4 of our IRL friends and stomped them! I don't think I've ever got random matchmaking putting me up against people I actually knew. It was hilarious because we didn't realize we were totally wrecking our friends until the end of the match.

Competitive? On Xbox I would block and report each one of them so I'm never matched up with them again.
Had a Sombra on my team who could get her ult like in 30 secs by doing this.

that would be true on anything that's not a control point map.
It was arcade.

'Can fight' but not a counter. Genji should keep away if he's not going to kill because yes Sym can fry him ofc. If he does though he's mostly ok because Sym has no movement abilities to catch him.

Nope. Arcade and QP.

constantly asked for a speed boost so she could "fight" him.
on illios.
i switched to winston and accepted that i was gonna lose that game.

yeah mb ill just swap to lucio in our 5 dps 1 tank comp and get shit on by genji because we're not defending anything.
Does blocking players actually prevent you from playing with them?

I mean, if he tries to swift strike her he's dead, the turrets and her secondary fire slow him down a lot

Then that's fine, I would just back out and find a new game. Stats aren't tracked in Arcade mode anyway.

no turrets to slow him on illios.

if the circle bloom crosshair does one thing for s76 it proves that his bloom is weird as fuck, really doesn't feel like a normal gun at all
Go Zarya and track him down while he helplessly deflects nothing.

i was zarya and constantly asked for another tank or a healer since, y'know, junkrat, symmetra, reaper, tracer and hanzo weren't willing to switch even when they were getting shit on.

the change to the way zarya does damage pretty much made her a genji counter, it's glorious

Fair enough.

That's how it works on XBL as far I know. I think I've managed to block all the trolls and quitters in competitive mode, although matchmaking takes a couple of minutes for me now.

Okay but no one is saying that the comp was good or that your team was good.
I'm just saying that Symmetra deals with Genji pretty damn well.

I love this game a lot, and have the big CE on PC. Happy.
But I'm definitely craving to play it in my living room home theatre. Thinking I should bite for the PS4 Pro next time the game goes on sale. (was $39 for Boxing Week, I should have nabbed it). I could play on my BF's PC which is hooked up to the TV, but I want to be able to play with a controller and just chill out some more, rather than need to play it at my powerhouse desktop with mouse/keyboard.
Does anyone have both versions? Any anecdotes?
I'm aware that there's no way to connect the two to allow for unlockable progress to sync, which sucks, but I can deal with that.

I've only played the PC version through the trial, ultra obviously looks nicer but the PS4 version is no slouch. It still looks very pretty and runs at 60fps 99.8% of the time. Prepare to lose some precision when playing McCree and Widow. No text chat is a bummer but a decent amount of people in comp do have mics, and there's always gaf.
