Low 2000s still has people who haven't given a single thought to things like positioning or what their team is doing. The good news is that the other team has the same problem, so pick a self-sufficient hero like Reaper, Mei, or Roadhog, whichever you're best with, and look for enemies who are out of position or not paying attention to you. Kill them.
If you're Reaper, get in flanking position, wait for your teammates to start a fight, then flank. As Roadhog, you want to hook anything that is damaged, a flanker, a healer, or in the sky, and start fights for your team with a good kill. As Mei, fight mid-range, set up walls only when it splits the enemy or saves the team, and freeze anyone 1v1.
I came across a good Mei for the first time.
Every single time I used graviton surge, she put a wall between me and the rest of my team. So I was the only one able to do damage, and everyone caught up in the black hole just shot the shit out of me.
It was pretty incredible actually. Marked the player as "preferred" hopefully I'll be on their team some point in the future.

I know the feeling, but it's in the opposite. I'm waiting for my next contract to start, so I have time to get as much out of the game before it becomes impossible to play.
The resident necromancer has got it going on.

The last Diablo season started on a Friday. Hearthstone: One Night In Karazhan came out on a Thursday.
so I don't know what you're talking about.

Season 2 of Overwatch Competitive started on a Thursday (I think? Might've been Wed. But it definitely was no Tuesday).
Blizzard favours Tuesday for content patches, but it's not fixed.

Didn't end up capturing the pin on nano reaper's ult from last night's Kings Row match but here's some footage of a first point recovery that was pretty nice: https://my.mixtape.moe/llllam.mp4

or are you already a girl <_<
ive never played with ya, so I don't know
I'm getting frustrated with Ana players that don't warn me when they have their ult ready. I don't consider myself a great Reinhardt player (or a good one, at that), but good god did this one idiot kept firing at me at the most inconvenient of times.
I had the highest kill eliminations and damage block during the last match I was in, and he called me a subpar Reinhardt. :/

That laugh/giggle could end wars, my lord.

APAC Overwatch is crazy. They just go ham all the time.

Coming from the other side of this, it's frustrating as an Ana player when you announce that your ult is ready, and the Reaper jumps into the point by himself and gets destroyed mid death blossom without killing anyone.
The best one was the other day though attacking the first point at Volskya. I nano boosted a Mei who had her ult ready, who proceeded to run to just outside of the point, before putting herself in a block of ice for the duration of it.

I kinda love the cheesy melodrama of the APAC Premier.
Tell me about it. We lost the first round on a capture map, won the second one and the entire team start to play well and co-ordinate; suddenly the power went out and it didn't go up until the morning.
Felt really bad.

Someone my team last night was apparently experimenting with using Ana as a tank. We did not win.
I've been on both sides, myself. I keep letting people know my Nano Boost is ready, but none of them let me know if their ult is ready. Even when they do, this one Roadhog player had stood still and just thumbs up me throughout the duration of the Nano Boost.
I did had a great Ana that watched my back as Reinhardt.

Running ahead of the payload and trying to shoot people point blank. Yeah, it definitely doesn't work.

That was a pretty insane recap. Did you manage to capture the pin on the nano boosted ulting reaper?

Ana and tank in the same sentence without Zarya rein dva or Winston in it is wrong in so many levels

So apparently if you LC-202 error out of a match, you loose sr...not cool Blizzard.
Came back after a couple months hiatus, didn't play the first competitive season but this one looked much better and closer to the League system I'm used to, was the general consensus that this one was more well received? Played my 10 placements got Plat 2650. Pretty pleased with that for being rusty and getting Ana ulted a couple times as rein and having no idea what it did. Lol just figured it means I should start swinging.

Me either, but without gambling or skins or stuff like that, I don't see OW esports going far.
Just something non-gameplay related.

Had this exact number on my match before my rank up to Platinum. Good luck, I got lucky and had the opposing team leave.

Why would this affect how Esports is played?

It drives up viewership.
Well, I spoke too soon. My team and I got a solid gold ass beating, and I'm down to 2461. Anyone on PC, who's reasonably competent, care to join me?
Watch as no one replies to my request, as usual.

I didn't play CS so bear with me, but why would gambling up viewership for tourneys and such?

If you're fine with playing an aussie I'm game, but I'm not sure if you want to factor in latency on your way to plat.
You'll get there, don't worry.

It's the same reason why fantasy football made me watch the Cardinals/49ers shitshow last night. Suddenly I had a personal stake in the outcome of the game.

Let me get some breakfast, and I'll send you a request. What is your Battle.net username, BTW?

this is why I don't use a mic. ;P
Been trying out Overwatch on PS4 (I have played a ton on PC).
Now, I've played shooters on console before, just very rarely as I'm not a big fan usually. I played the hell out of Timesplitters 2 and 3. But I will forever not improve my aim on console, and I want to know what magic potion people drink that can reliably aim on these gamepad nightmares, haha.
Is it just being a fan since young that makes you a good aim? I do suck, of course. I just really hate aiming anything with a stick because I never stop flying *juuuust* past my intended target, back and forth.

It would affect its popularity, bigger crowd + more money + bigger prize pools.

Strafing is very effective, I hardly ever use right stick for horizontal aiming.
You know, I DID find that I was way better at using McCree, ironically, because I instinctively did this. My favorite is Pharah though, and my god I am hopeless.

Also, I usually turn off aim assist as well...it always ruins my aim.
