I've had that happen quite often, and it's equal parts horrifying and hilarious.
Like some cheap 3D movie effect or something.
As for flex picking, I think it's almost a requirement in this game. Sure you can have your preferred roles but being good at multiple roles makes it so much easier.
I love being Rein / Lucio though, takes a lot of game sense to not die and know when to use your abilities. A lot of Lucio's play "passive" and that ain't right.
Same for Symmetra. Go get that ult charge, fam.
This makes a lot of sense to me, because whenever I spectate someone on my team that is a "DPS main" reluctantly playing a healer/tank, I notice they're not really focused on their surroundings and just rushing headfirst into bad situations, or playing entirely too passively because they think that's how a tank/support should play (mainly Rein/Lucio)

You make it sound like every tank should be able to do that.
For people clawing it out in solo queue specialization makes even less sense because you can't rely on people building around you to nearly the same degree.

People starting to realize that the amount of bullshit hooks wasn't nearly as high as they thought. The hook rarely 'breaks' and you're dead every time it doesn't.
Hog is nuts now. I was against a nerf before, he definitely needs one now.

If they ever release a new map and it's 2CP, I'm uninstalling the game

They're such a slog. They need to open up some areas or at least stall defense spawns. When your team is on the second point and the enemy just keeps trickling back in gets insane.

Hit level 400 on PC, PS4 account still just behind 300. Nooooooo life

I actually had the hook break quite a number of times on me since the patch.
But yeah, I've been calling for nerfs that aren't about the BS hooks way before hook 2.0. I think hook 2.0 is fine honestly. That's how the hook should work. Now let's get nerfs to address how hog was broken even when he had hook 1.0.
At least I'm not unemployed.
See your advice doesn't work, though. This season I tried to be way more open about switching to other roles in order to accommodate people, because at the end of the day all that should matter is winning, but few people want to leave their comfort zone for the better of the team. Most people are too stubborn to even consider switching. I'm curious as to if some part of the matchmaking algorithm takes into account what roles you've played the most.
Which is also why I said that if you try it their way and it isn't working switch to something youre good at it. If what youre running isn't working then there is little point continuing on with trying it even if the comp would hypothetically benefit from the role. Then you at least are playing a character you are much better with and can presumably help your team.
I'm not saying that forgoing healing or tanking is something to do, just that if your team either cannot or will not switch it up its better to just play what youre good at. Which is why diamond was awful; like you said, people are too stubborn to even consider switching. Also see the post about the guy bragging about being fucking diamond lol.

I honestly don't understand how some of you really believe Roadhog is that OP. You can hear him coming a mile away, he has so many counters, he's a huge target and you know exactly where he's going to try and position himself on a lot of maps to be effective.
Stop getting hooked.

Yeah I really have never had a problem with hog but I also main several characters that counter him so that obviously helps. Use that rein shield to your advantage.

I think there's a bias depending on character preference. I mostly play Zarya so I see a Hog and think: Woo, easy energy, fast ult!

Yeah and now that peeking around corners is safe his threat level is soooo much lower.
He has so many counters... Name one please.

His problem is that he's basically widow with way more sightlines and angles to work with and is far too oppressive in terms of dictating positioning.
And he can kill his counters much easier now with his new hook. You can play around him but hook is far too oppressive to be able to move freely. And he barely gets punished for whiffing it.Genji is dead if he dashes wrongly Rein is dead if he charges wrongly. Tracer is dead if she can't manage rewind. Soldier can barely burst anyone if he can't land helix. Zarya is dead if she can't bubble properly. Winston is dead if he doesn't jump and drop shield properly.
Hog's cooldown is so low you can do yolo hooks way too much and he doesn't get punished for it.

I'm getting really tired of getting teams of leavers and salty rage freaks who stay in spawn to yell profanities at eachother in voice chat.
So many assholes who will just stay in spawn and go "enjoy your loss))))"
League of Lengends playerbase was bad enough now it's combined with FPS and Waifu freaks.
Had one guy who refused to play because someone wouldnt switch off Mercy and he wanted to be Mercy because "Mercy is my girlfriend" and he had the voice of a 10 year old, like jesus fuck I wish I could filter matchmaking by age.

All games played the first few weeks after launch, before the Turret damage was nerfed. Between that and everyone being so new at the game, it was really easy.antitrop how the heck is your Torb win rate so good on ps4
Torb was my first main, heh.

Just lost a match 'cause the three stack on my team had a dude that went to poop during their queue and got disconnected. Good shit.
QP needs queueable game modes. It's idiotic that it doesn't have that.

I mean, Payload counts a win so long as you get the cart any further than the enemy team, not just checkpoints. I don't see why 2CP shouldn't handle similarly given how it plays out as-is.
I've been in contact with support for two days now and they seem completely in denial or oblivious that this update has made the game unplayable/broken for some of its players on PC. They keep trying to identify potential problems with my PC and not their update.

Sorry Biscuit and TJ felt like we had a couple more wins in there if I played a bit better. Still broke even though.

i'll play with them if they're not fucking mongoloids with undeveloped hands. age doesn't really determine skill bracket at all.
How the fuck.
hes so overpowered and unchanged from the start of the game there were a bunch of metas without him

lock mercy and sit in spawn until they run out.
No problem, didn't bail because of the loss, just had to get my son in bed, lol.
