From 2900 to 2677, bye diamond. I'd really like to know how to go up when every single team is complete garbage, no tanks, no healers, and toxicity.

I stopped playing comp for the season last week because I was on a 7 game losing streak (from 2900 to mid 2600s) and didn't think it was worth it to go for diamond in the new meta.

I had to check my stats just to get some context.

Damn.

19 hours and I have 611K healing. And I personally think that I still need to improve my ability to heal.

Also honestly I really need to improve my ability to get picks and deal damage with ana. It's pretty bad currently.
 
I ran into an Ana once with 55 hours on her and 24k total healing.

In comparison...

QP:
18 hours alive time
649k healing

Comp:
6 hours alive time
245k healing

Combined:
24 hours alive time
894k healing

In half the playtime I have 37 times more healing...
 
Tying weekly rewards to the arcade only is stupid, kinda defeats the purpose of the arcade being a for shits and giggles thing if you can only get loot boxes from winning arcade games. It should either apply to all games or just reward matches played in the arcade.

fired zero bullets in the orphanage.
Nah Since she builds her ultimate so quickly I just save it in case of a teamwipe and drop it behind or above the enemy team.



They don't expect a symmetra on attack.

Symmetra should never even be able to get through a choke to plop a tele anywhere. She has zero mobility and her weapon has horrible offensive utility.

She is genuinely the worst character you could ever play on attack.

from the datamined Symm voice lines, apparently Symm's reworked portal will have 10+ uses... I wonder if that will be on account teammates will be able to pass back and forth through teleporters? Like for some quick full health, or a character switch? Hmm...

Getting the Tetris effect for overwatch while trying to fall asleep, played too much today I guess. Anyways, in my head I see 76 getting a few kills with his ult and afterwards instead of one of his usual voice lines he screamed "I still dress up as superman, right to this day!"

I still think they should have combined sym and zombra together.

Imagine sym emerging out of cloak to microwave you.

And then being able to place a teleporter for your team to attack from unexpected locations.
 
I just got stuck with 2 people under level 20 for my elimination game. One went reinhardt the other went carbon fiber genji

Fuck this mode
 
Attack Symmetra is a bad pick, it is the correct character to pick 0% of the time. If you want to do it fine, but people have every reason not to like it. Obviously idgaf what you do in QP. And I pretty much never see attack Sym in comp. Attack Junkrat is everywhere.

I rarely use Sym on Attack. One of the few times I have was when I was with a GAF squad on big maps like Gibraltar (pre patch before the capture points got reworked), and someone requested I play Sym so we could get a teleporter up to keep putting pressure on the last point. It ended up working, and I was able to take care of a back flanking Genji as well.

But really, Sym really shines on first cap on Escort Defense, and then slowly loses value as the enemy pushes forward. I can still use her to great effect on Control maps, but if the other team has a Winston I switch out.
 
Omg the genji switched to torb and used his long range attack when he was right next to a soldier


Edit: almost came back from being down 4 in 1v1, managed to lose 4-5. Blegh

May contain jokes =>
It's nice to see that my 1v1 winrate is 75+% and me and 2 friends 3v3 winrate is something like 80% or more. Fun to be vindicated once in a while after playing with frustrating randoms in comp.

I'd still wait. We all thought triple tank was going to be the shit previously but it's been shown not to be the case.

All of these cards, medals, and PotGs say otherwise.
Medals? Turret touches someone and it's a kill.

Cards? shield or teleporter is basically a guaranteed card. Doesn't mean it was very helpful.

I've literally never seen you get Symmetra POTG.

I love it when you go Symmetra in QP. It's hilarious, but it's still a troll pick. We all know it.

It happens almost every time I use her for some reason.

I loved the free weekend so I ordered the physical origins edition for PC. I put the disc in and ran the setup but when I start the game it says I don't have a license. Am I missing something here?

TRiple tank was p crazy. I'm just worried what to pick into D.Va/Rein type stuff.

I still think mei? I actually don't think soldier is that great against a DVa/rein either. You see Mickie constantly shutting down TViQ. Even without the health buff defense matrix was always great at fucking up soldier honestly, and any long range dps.

I dunno, I do think they need to do some further fine tuning on soldier and DVA. Like, damage buff on soldier seemed to be the ticket but it's kinda crazy right now, especially with nanoboost on the scene. I love DVa, she's my co-main, but I don't think she needs the health buff now, especially with the buff to movement and the nerf to zarya + tick-rate fix on her beam. I dunno, it's a fine balance though between those 2.

Hey if I play on Xbox is there a way to transfer my stuff over if I decide to play on PC sometime? Like my skins and emote and stuff?

I don't think Soldier is great into D.Va either. I think he is the best pick into most things, but still. I think a DPS player needs a pool of like Soldier, Mei, Roadhog, Tracer, Genji? McCree/Pharah/Reaper/Widow are all going into the niche pile I feel like. If D.Va/Roadhog/(x tank) stays popular I don't even know how to play Genji or something into it.

Like really, if you want to base where a character would be according to how they are witchhunted I'm surprised that mei isn't removed and banished to the 17th level of hell.

Which just strengthens my theory that jeff kaplan is a mei main.

After the free weekend ended I ended up buying it and am having a blast. My first Blizzard game!
It's not possible to spend currently on player profile icons right?
