I keep getting weirded out by the double peace sign on the paladin ad on neogaf.
That's when I know I was a truly broken man.

i think mainly it's a lack of mobility, so unless you are on a full team and they make it a point to protect you you're on your own as far as being insta-targeted by every single member of the enemy team (if they have any sense. I mean peeps will usually burn ults to kill you, alone) and will be dying more often than helping your team.
I tried it because I loved Smite, the game is alright, it has some pay to win elements which is annoying.
The maps are freaking huge, so huge they actually give you a mount.
my single solo q win and retire game last night had a bastion on our Volskya defense, i saw him go to the high ground behind the Point A and told him he was probably on his own since i didn't think it made much sense for my Rein to go back there. He made a valiant effort but " there's a genji heading your way" and he died. He got some good hits in on his next life when stayed inside the little Point A health pack igloo in front of it.
Thank you!This chart should be useful.
It uses a card system which serves as some sort of a loadout, you can unlock cards for each character or buy them for money.
Sort of responding to both of the above but games like the above are all too common and it seems to be sort of par for the course if you play for any length of time. I've pretty much decided it is useless to try and play for the purpose of increasing my SR (not that I don't want it to go up, I do, I just don't want it to be the sole purpose of my play) and just try and be cool and let the chips fall where they may.
My two comp games last night couldn't have been more different and really illustrate why I've adopted the philosophy of "just chill out and do your best". The first game I had a team that communicated and understood what to do and we won easily. The second game I had a guy who screamed in the mic several times and lots of in-fighting and they mostly just ran around like headless chickens. Needless to say we lost and it wasn't pretty.
But today is a new day and there's new matches to be played.
That dude can play some 'Hog!
Are you EU? I sent a FR but I am not EU. Would still be down for some games if we could connect.
Went against a team like this not too long ago. My Pharah had a good game as I remember. You can't force your team to switch but you can certainly switch and put the hurt on them.

yeah, I try to use my DM to protect the little guy as best as I can, but if his aim is terrible it's just a lost cause.
i do find that a lot of guys in soloQ that go Bastion DO expect the entire team to revolve their defense around him. I've gotten a couple of salty messages from guys on my team that went Bastion and we lost. I assume because I played tank (D.Va) and they blame me for not going Rein? ��
i haven't read/heard anything. I do hope I can use all my saved up coin on it, tho! And D.Va has a new meka... not just colour change, but a new, cool design!

Unintentionally ran 3x2x1 made all 3 points on gibralter lol.
We werent even coordinated.
Maybe the other team just sucked. Cause 1 guy left from ours with about 2minutes on defence and they still couldnt get the first point.

And of course it was a bastion. And if he was on PC he would type on all chat how bad his team was.

That Reaper must've felt amazing though, lmao
Okay, Bastion should keep his day job but what really irks me is Mercy not pulling her pistol when he goes down. Battle Angel, yo!

FLOP Bastions that transform out of gatling gun @ the first whiff of danger... SMH.
honestly, if you wanna 'git gud' w/ Bastion work on your aim/anxiety in sentry mode. THAT can save you/your team's life.
Oh didn't know you could just buy them. That kinda sucks. Some characters were locked too. Might just stick to overwatch on ps4 for now though I went 66-9 with the Reinhardt equivalent somehow .
I play on the NA Servers. I haven't got a friend request yet, so maybe it failed? Try sending another one.

6 solos vs two teams of 3 on KOTH. It went about how you'd expect.
I dread KOTH in comp because I always end up with the braindead team who can't organize and trickles in, while the other team just systematically dismantles us.

Res, I'm not actually home.
I'm not ignoring your invite. I'd much rather be playing Overwatch right now, even if it was against an all Winston / Mei / Lucio comp. 3/2/1, 2/2/2, 2/3/1, whatever.
Or pre-nerf all Torb, for that matter.

to make Bastion more viable he should be tanky when mobile and squishy when stationary. He should have 500hp + self-healing on a 5 sec cooldown in recon and 200hp and no cooldown for self-heal in sentry mode. I would play him a lot more if he had more hp in recon, tbh. He's just too slow and dies like nothing rn.

Sigh. Competitive match on Numbani. We attack first, take two points, not bad. On defense we hold them from taking the point until right before overtime, then the enemy team pops three ults and wipes our team, then proceed to push the payload all the way to the required point without stopping, completely decimating any effort on my team's part to organize a defense.
I hate this game sometimes.

I didn't realise just how terrifying a Nanoboosted Winston can be. He just tears right through low-HP enemies, which can be like half of a team.
EVERY. MERCY. KNOWS. THIS. PAIN.

Mei, you fucking asshole, you're driving me away from this game. You're not fun, at all. You sap away my good feeling and enjoyment of this game. I hate you. And I will actively tea bag the shit on your corpse whenever I see you. I hate teabagging, but you're the exception.
I want them to nerf the shit out of you until all that's left is a hollow shell of your former self. I want to be part of the vocal majority that ruins you for good. And I will be there to lick the sweet tears of the Mei mains who will lament the passing of their fucking waifu.

I had almost this same scenario on Hollywood defense last night. Once you get pushed off the first point in a near team wipe situation it can be tough to recover the defense. I've started to learn that it is key in such situations to control the flanking routes. If the defense can plug up those flanking routes and harass the payload at the same time then the defense has a better shot at holding.
On the flipside, good offensive flankers will run ahead and try to lock down those flank routes and if they win those engagements or are not contested then the defense is going to have a bad time.
On Numbani, Pharah is quite good at taking pot shots at the doorways leading in and out of the flank routes and can make Genji/Tracer/McRee/whoever's life more difficult. If I'm not playing support (I'm usually playing support in Comp) then Pharah is my go-to pick for last point defense on Numbani.

I don't seem to have a problem with Mei at all.
The closest I get to getting pissed at her is when someone is ace at her icicle while I'm playing Tracer. Then it's effectively a one-shot but I have to give it up for the person playing her more than anything.

Yep Roadhog's hook is totally fixed mmhmmm yup

This still happens to me except it's usually around a corner instead of down below.

I think that happened to me, but for Mercy instead.

I'm all aboard the Mei train nowadays. She's the non-tank hero I want to play the most.
The fix is suboptimal--it drags people to where Roadhog was standing when he initiated, not where he is currently standing (preventing weird situations where he hooks from a doorway and runs around the corner, leading to glitchy-looking hooks). Even with the fix, it can lead to some really weird results.
But that hook was legit. It would be a useless ability if a full line of sight was always necessary.
The only true fix would be to root Roadhog in place while he's using it, but seeing as being stationary is the biggest disadvantage in the game I don't think it could ever be a fair trade.

No he doesn't.
Just shred her with Reaper. If you get the jump on her, you're guaranteed an elimination.

Oh yes he does.
I just added you. Will you be fine with some Quick Play? The Weekly Brawl?

He's just doing that to hide his true identity.
so he plays mei?
No he doesn't.

Yeah - Numbani is actually my favorite map, I'm usually the Tracer that's monopolizing the flank routes. But this round I had to play as the support on defense and there's only so much you can do as Ana when your team won't organize a solid defense.
Well that one guy in the earlier threads that thought Mobawatch was the best mode ever should be happy!
