I think this sounds worse? I thought the whole point was it sounded like she was eating cake.

Im getting better with tracer but i swear im getting worse at using her glorified junkrat mine.
It's been funny to watch all Moonmoon's Reinhardt trash talking and the more he plays him the more he's like 'well you know reinhardt does require some awareness'

I've moaned in here before about it, but I'm going to do it again - people who quit ranked games deserved to be badly punished.
Just finished a 20 minute game where the game was tied 2/2 and a player quit at the start of game 5 resulting in us eventually falling at the final hurdle.
Yet he'll get a slightly higher points deduction that I did for losing a game and that's it. It's a joke. Players should be given more severe punishments - such as being banned from playing competitive for 12/24 hours.

I'm going to guess he got disconnected. For some reason, the game doesn't distinguish between a server error/disconnect and an intentional exit, and the game sometimes doesn't allow you to rejoin for no apparent reason.

Nope, he quit. I sent him a rather annoyed message to which he replied 'lol - whatever'
I appreciate that some players have connection issues (I would be lying if I said I hadn't), but the amount of people who are quitting games in series 2 compared to series 1 is just insane.
Man I had the worst Reaper ever on my team. He was so scared of engaging a dragon blading Genji when it was 3v1 in our favour. I even threw the discord onto Genji and harmony onto Reaper but he teleported away. The Genji of course killed me, the Soldier and the Reaper.
Any decent Reaper hunts down the Genji dragon blade. You deal so much damage and Genji wants to be right up and close. It usually forces the deflect which basically ends the dragon blade right there and then.

Exactly. An Ulting Genji that has to use his Deflect, is typically a dead Genji. He's likely up front and has the entire enemy team's attention, he's not attacking, and he's probably not moving very erratically.

Unless he still has a dash to cancel the deflect.
But even then, he probably lost a second or two.
Usually Lucio for KotH but sometimes, if needed, I will play Reaper or Pharah on Nepal because both of them can do some work in the right situation.
Well, last night, no one wanted to tank. So I picked Zarya but once we got towards the point the team just split in all directions. Like everyone wanted to be the flanker, no one went for the point. A few more respawns go by and someone finally picks D.Va so I switched to Winston since I couldn't get anyone to group up with me. We lost the round but that went marginally better.
By round 2 the fighting started and one guy was calling out our Mcree by saying he was trash and couldn't hit anything (I don't know, I wasn't watching him) so as a troll pick the dude changed to Symmetra.
It was pretty much down hill from there.
I'm not sure why that particular map seems to be more problematic but I've had teammates that trickle in, never group up, seem to be playing TDM, don't communicate, you name it. All of this stuff happens on other maps also but for some reason it is Nepal where it all seems to culminate and produce the worst blow-outs.
Now I can't control randoms but I can control what I do and I am always looking for ways to improve.

Yeah, but a Dash to escape, is likely a Dash that didn't kill and reset his Dash.

KOTH TORB FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
I can't believe we even managed to take a game out of this.
I've see KotH Torbs work really well, actually.
Way better than the other 3 map types.
Usually because his turret keeps pressure on the enemies and prevents them from advancing to your half of the map, and also keeps flankers in check.
Maybe at Masters, not at Platinum. He did literally nothing and said literally nothing the entire game. The enemy Genji took out his turrets before they even finished building.

But he's a shotgun hero just like you, so what's the big deal? XDKOTH TORB FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

I've done a attack torb once before he can work but its very hard to set everything up.
This like every match I play.

This fucking game. 4 or 5 straight wins in quick play, most with 2 or 3+ golds, go into ranked, lose first match with 4 golds (everything but healing). I AM NOT THE PROBLEM HERE
I'm facing the same issue and I'm gonna switch to the PTR for now.
Anyone else watch this guy? Skyline is his name. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDrfc_LU0llSRI7icBFoBnw
He's an Overwatch analyst and coach but he's also really easy to listen to and understand. His videos will teach you something, that much is certain.
My favorite's so far are his "how to improve your aim" and his VoD reviews of gameplay footage that people send in and ask him to critique.

Yeah, an attack Torbjorn really needs a Reinhardt, D.Va, or Winston to protect the turret so he can get it upgraded.

It's fucking annoying when your healers don't know how to...you know...fucking heal.
I was being harassed by this Genji and my Ana thought it was a better idea to shoot him instead of me when I was at low health. Fuck me man.
He then switched to Zen and I never saw a single discorded enemy.

Either that or they had terrible aim lol.
Genjis're hard to hit! STOP JUMPING AROUND I'M TRYING TO HELP YOU.

I couldn't have been that hard to hit when I was Roadhog. If your wondering why I couldn't deal with him myself, I didn't have self heal or hook up because I used those while dealing with the Tracer and I had like 100 health. I don't care how good or bad your aim is, if there's a Roadhog in front of you, you should be able to hit him. Period.
Okay that's fair.

So I'm pretty sure Top 500 is actually Top 600 this season.
I just won two games, the first put me into Master, and the second put me in the Top 500. Or rather, it gave me the emblem, but the number above it is 583.

Good idea!
Ah, now it makes sense why you'd be so angry.
Yeah I had 506 as my highest unless I had a higher rank before I logged in so I hope I get the rewards.

Statistically something about competitive doesn't add up to me.
Checking my stats I'm below a 50% win rate this season so logically I shouldn't be able to climb in rank yet I'm slowly but surely managing it.
I know it's said that personal performance can dictate how many points you earn or lose but even then It just doesn't seem quite right. based on the marginal differences I'd say in this case it's at least stacked slightly in the favour of persisting but I'm pretty sure we had some people earlier post the opposite.

One of the worst feelings is turning a corner as a healer right in time to watch someone on your team die so it probably looks like you just didn't care to heal them, lmao.

You assume and win and a loss are of equal value.
A win can be +30 against a team higher than you, and a loss can be a -12 against a team higher than you.
You're winning against better teams more often than you are losing against worse teams.

Which then of course leads to you walking straight into the enemy that killed them, like double damn.
Guess I should pay more attention to the numbers.
When I won I would lose the top 500+ but when I lost I would regain it. It's weird.

Top 500 ranking is all relative to your MMR compared to others in the top 500. Gaining ranks when you lose a game just means someone else (ahead of you) in the top 500 lost more MMR during that same time. It's not the most intuitive system imaginable, but it makes sense when you think about it.
I don't think that is what was happening. For example, when I won I would go from like 519 to out of 600 since it didn't show. If I didn't play I was still at 519 and would go down or up two places max. When I lost I went from out of 600 since I didn't have the top 500 emblem to like 540 so I doubt the big jumps/falls is due to other people but probably just a glitchy system.
