Good in this meta yet he's one of the least used characters even by the pros. I don't get it.

That's because they only like to use him on specific parts in specific maps. Mostly the start of attack on hollywood, king's row, eichenwalde and gibraltar. Basically places where the defenders need to peek through chokepoints at static locations.
He gets one pick or two and you pretty much win the point.
Look at tviq in the apac grand finale.

I can understand what you're saying but my original statement was really more towards people who pick Hanzo in any type of situation. For example, I'm definitely going to say something when someone picks Hanzo on Koth or any other situation you didn't point out. Also, they're not tviq.

Mm, i guess, though I'm increasingly of the mind that i really don't mind hanzo players if that's what they're good at, I'm just saying that the premise that hanzo is bad because he can't confirm kills is wrong. If anything that's his strength. His problem is consistency.
Also honestly, my biggest beef with playing with Hanzo nowadays is that most people are so chicken shit about going in on a team fight when the pick does happen, or people just not noticing the killfeed.
"Awesome, he got a pick, let's go... Where the fuck is everyone else? Oh, still poking at the chokepoint while i speedboosted to my death. Awesome."
It's better now that i have a mic.

I got a legendary drop and it was a Junkenstein repeat 
I just want Witch Mercy, I already have the credits saved up but I'd rather get it in a loot box instead.

Nope, I just hit 100 bout an hour ago...now I'm 105 after like 3 or 4 games.
I got all whites and blues so far tho, with all the blues but 1 being a dupe.
Yes, that's it Roadhog, you hook one of their team - a Mei of all heroes - on to the point and allow them to activate Overtime, therefore allowing them to regroup and hold. WE HAD ONE SECOND LEFT AND THEN WE WOULD HAVE TAKEN IT.
Fucking hell. And now they've just steamrolled us on Volskaya.
Cripes, comp is an emotional rollercoaster.

Pharah with ult doesn't combo with my graviton. -_-
You better be prepared to get harrassed into switching. I play Hanzo occasionally in comp and sometimes I don't want to switch otherwise I would never be able to play him because no one wants Hanzo on their team and one time I got called a "faggot" because I didn't switch even though we had won and I had 20K gold damage. Some people can be hero/meta Nazi's.
Why do people hate Hanzo so much? I despise playing him, but that's because he's boring for me to play as. He's a pretty efficient DPS character. Does a ton of damage and can easily 1 shot people.
I'd much rather have a good Hanzo than a bad McCree on my team, and I guess the only thing that really bothers me about Hanzo is that he's never in the fray contesting the point/payload. Usually sitting back a little taking people out.

37 kills, 11 frozen, 6 blizzard kills.
I've been so focused on killing people with my right click that I kinda suck at freezing people now haha.

Part of the problem is that the number of bad Hanzo players outweigh the good ones, and we had to deal with losses with those players that refuse to switch, will stay on their perch to "snipe", and/or will be oblivious with how horrible they are doing & shove the blame to someone else.

I've just played quite possibly one of the weirdest matches in quite awhile.
The end involved a lone bastion, sitting on the payload as I pumped him full of health from afar as ana to the win uncontested just to give you an idea. While they had someone switch to sym for the end of route 66 (???????).

I get a leaver in every single competetive match I play and I'm really getting fucking sick of it.

I went thru a ridiculous string of this about a week ago...12 out of 15 matches lost because we were at least 1 man down. Lost somewhere between 350-400SR. This was on ps4 btw.
I've lost my last 2 games with golds in all 4 categories each game. I was on dps so I couldn't get a medal for healing.
Both close games lost in overtime. I am definitely punching above my weight now, just having a hard time getting teammates to push as a group.

I noticed my friends bad habit of leaving in this game, we're not playing competitive yet so it's not a big deal, but kinda irritating that he would just leave if he dies 2-4 times in the beginning to sniper shot or something lucky like that, match haven't even begun. He goes completely mad alt+f4 and starts playing other games, I guess it makes sense if he's not having fun.
That sucks, because the beginning and the end of most matches are the biggest clusterfucks where you die more often than any other post.
Especially on payload maps if you're attacking.
I know how you feel, they should have harsher consequences.

Do any of the stat tracking sites track ties? They've been around for a while now.

Overbuff counts draws as losses - that's the only one I know about.

Draws suck, I have 18 of them.

Draws should at least give you some points towards your SR. Blizzard doesn't seem to know how hard it is to not lose sometimes.
Strangely enough, I only ever had 2 draws in this entire season.

I like the sound of that, especially if you're the underdog. +5 or 10 SR seems reasonable.
What this xp flattening you're talking about? I'm like 192 right now and I'd really like to take advantage of the 20 easy boxes

I've had 27 ties.
I've also noticed a weird trend recently that whenever i go attack mei, i get friend invites after the match.

No matter what I do, no one ever wants to be my friend.
If you're playing the PC version, send me an invite. I'm down with adding new spuds to my friends list.

Lulz, I've found myself askin if anyone can play a good Mei...on any map, attack or defense.
She seems like a must anymore.

I would be your friend.
But then we would have to fight over who gets to play mei.
And we can't have that now can we.

I usually play Reaper or Tracer in that case.
New change in the PTR. After Level 100+, you'll need 20K XP to level up. The whole "Prestige" thing is gone.

Do we have an up to date list of neogaf friends for overwatch?
Yeah, this change is definitely a weird one for the PTR. Don't know why they are doing it in the first place.
The PTR proudly presents...
BUGS: Death Blossom vs 70 Genji
BUGS II: Death Blossom vs 40 Mei
From the devs:

34 loot boxes later, I finally have Witch Mercy.
Notable Halloween loot up till now:
Junkenstein x 2
Junkenstein's monster
Witch Mercy
Ana emote
Reaper highlight
Bastion skin
Actually when I list them out like this, only now do I realize how slim the pickings are. I still want the Ana skin and Mei intro, but I might just end up using coins for those.

So, they basically don't want players to not sit on their promotion & get 20+ free loot boxes for events, along with their main source of income for Overwatch going bye-bye.
So dumb.

Assuming you were in the tryhard group of those deliberately not playing. Going to go out on a limb and assume most players don't plan out 80 levels of progress out at a time to align with annual events.
