I assume they're just low level players who aren't the best at her yet. A good Tracer is pretty amazing to have on your team.
No idea.

Yep, and this is a big issue. Low-ranked players can get carried through the ranks quickly by being in a group with higher SR players. I've heard a lot of people calling it cheap. It's also an issue for the pro players, as they're often matched with people with lower SR (because there are so few people at their SR), that if they lose a game they lose a big amount of points, but if they win, they only gain two skill points at most.

I mean, eliminations aren't everything, but if you're getting 40+ elims a match that's 20 per side of the game and that's usually around what people get on a successful hold in a single match in QP. People only get 30-40 elims in QP if the team managed to push the payload all the way to the end or it goes into double-mega-overtime.
Like I just had a 30-3 comp match as Soldier on King's Row where we won 3-1. I had 19 kills on attack and 11 on defense, and got gold in elims, and that's about standard for me on a victory where I play well. I just can't imagine getting 50 elims and still losing, that must suck. The people you were playing with must suck terrible ass.
Yeah, I get that. Trickling in plus teams not being able to take out the defense quickly at the end sometimes end up frustrating. Had a few matches in a row where we'd get the payload to the last 5m and then stall for two minutes because we couldn't kill enemies fast enough. Sometimes you wonder why people play DPS if they can't, you know, do damage and kill enemies.
Man this is so childish.

Im getting used to playing with tracer now.
So far my competence levels for the dps characters are
Genji>>>>>>>>>76>>Mccree>Tracer.
I really do have a problem with hitscan heroes in Overwatch.

Mannn, I REALLY wish we had more quick chat options. Rocket League has spoiled me too much.
I NEED To tell my teammates "sorry" and "behind us!"
Also, I hate that the taunt is so close to the other important lines, as I sometimes get stuck in the animation

Gonna requote myself for people who missed it last night, but here's the interview I've been working on lately:
Things we talk about:
-how they view the job of supports
-current metagame stuff
-choosing supports
-personal thoughts and other stuff abotu the characters and balance
-Symmetra
It's pretty informative if you want to know what the higher level opinion of all that is.
On another note, this week's meta report is interesting. Lots of tanks.

I am gonna criticize this guy a bit though. His data gathering and presentation are really valuable, but I dislike the way he tiers things. I don't see a low usage rate character and think, "oh, F tier." I'd take the tier lists with a grain of salt because some of the low usage rate heroes are actually pretty good (like Mei) and are just picked infrequently due to teams being shit at niche strats and the dominance of other strats. I wish he presented that part differently.

Blizzard should implement some small text telling why someone left, that way we can tell if it's someone who's AFK, or just left on their accord.
Fake Edit: Ice Wall, coming up.

I know people don't like hearing it but maybe you are bad at this game and that is your average rank. Initial placement is not really accurate and it normalizes over time the more you play.
That's all well and goo, but what about people who wee doing bad but got better over time ?
What a piece of shit. If he does it in quick play i wouldn't care but doing that in comp is really shitty.

Twist: He's just trying to spread knowledge of the OTHER DOOR THAT YOU CAN WALK OUT OF
That would be a good solution to that problem.... just make another exit.

I really really want to say I'm best with Tracer in DPS, but if I want to be truthful and look at my stats, it's probably 76 >> Tracer > Reaper >>>> Pharah >>> Genji. We don't talk about McCree.
Leavers are such a pain. I get Blizzard is putting in even more strict punishments this season, but there has to be more done to discourage it because that obviously isn't enough.
Maybe they could implement an opt-in system where you can choose to be a backfill for competitive with the knowledge the stats you gain/lose (probably lose) will be adjusted accordingly. I dunno. Just...something to give teams a fair shake because even just 6 v 5 is imbalanced.

was this solo or a group? Because I would unfriend someone that has such a hair trigger, BURN IT ALL DOWN temper in an online game. smh

Or maybe nerfs
Plz Blizzard, don't do anything to Zarya !
No nerf her beam range, it's fucking ridiculous.

I called that they wouldn't nerf Ana without buffing her elsewhere. The nade is so good, so that is a pretty decent buff. 20% charge is big but it will still be a very fast charging ult. I'm okay with it.
Yeah, but I wouldn't call it a significant buff. Just makes her easier to use for the most part, but it will come up from time to time. I like that buff.
The charge rate nerf is much more significant though, hoping this will band aid up the current issues she's causing.

Every KOTH ready room has two exits. 99.999% of the time, there's no reason to use anything other than the main exit.

Neat. How significant is that Widowmaker buff? I feel she was one of the low tier heroes.
Disappointed that they didnt do a Torb or Sym patch for console. This update is available on console too, right?

I was reading that the current meta involves Ana backing up Tanks from afar and healing them significantly. Is that how the game is at high play?
The scope animation time is reduced from 0.5 seconds to 0.3. Not a huge buff, but it might help her be more useful now.
We can only wait and see.
WM buff could end up being significant, it was one of the major nerfs that got her back when all that went down.
Also, no, this is a PC only update for now. MAkes sense no console specific changes would be in it. The controller stuff will probably make it to console, but it's on PC because some people do play with a controller.
At the moment, yeah. People abuse her ability to ult cycle really quickly and get big snowballs going.

Oh, so we can expect a separate console patch with different changes? Will that happen within the week to coincide with PC update?
90% of the zone your analog sticks can move in will have low sensitivity, but acceleration. Means the faster you move the stick, the faster the cursor moves by some factor. The outer edge of your analog stick, the 10%, will be a fixed, high sensitivity zone with low acceleration.
This PC patch is on a test server only, so it's not final. Not "out" yet really on PC. Console patches tend to look similar, but have the potential to be different. No idea what the time table looks like.
Nice interview. Looks like we'll see more Ana use in the future as the main healer of the comp. The part of Lucio's job to protect her is interesting too.
On a side note, as long as Ana stays how she is, I think Mercy is going to go down in the meta imo. Ana out-heals and out damages Mercy, her ult is a game changer, and her kit is both offensive and defensive oriented. Oh, and she is much more fun to play.
EDIT: As I soon as I finish posting, I see that Ana's ult is getting nerfed. RIP.

I like the look of the Level + Stars. I wonder if they changed the in-game portraits to match that style....
Can you still do that ?
