Nah, there's still plenty of them. Teammate over extends, bad charge from a rein into enemy spawn, etc.
I had a friend who was 2200's (Season high) last season and is now diamond. But he only plays lucio tho.
Good to know if I ever get there.
Not as many though. Didn't say none.
Which seems to be the case a lot of the times this season for whatever reason.
Speaking of which, when will you be jumping back into ranked? Solo quene sucks lol
Last season's Diamond is this season's Master. Which makes me feel bad that I'm still in Diamond in Season 3.
Even at my S3 high of 3300, I was still at a lower percentile than I was at straight 3000 in S2.
Yeah a large percentage of the people I see in masters this season were high plat/low diamond last season.
Pretty much the same here. Haven't played much and had some decay so making it more difficult but hopefully will reach it if I play more.
Maybe soon? Just been doing QP with the GF lately to get back into it.
I'm pretty sure more people are getting higher ranks because it's become more apparent how to game the shitty queue system. This happens every time you allow people to queue with no penalties for grouping.

I definitely feel ready for a new game to sweep me off my feet for a bit.
Feeling timid on Nioh, Horizon or Mass Effect are good bets. Maybe For Honor?

The only must plays I feel for the coming months is persona 5.
Working my way through Gravity rush 2 right now but overwatch keeps distracting me.
I'm looking forward to playing Breath of the Wild and Dragon Quest VIII.
When does the new season start? Ever since falling below 2100 I've been put on a horrendous series of bad teams - people who bail mid game, who play shit like Sombra/Bastion and fuck around, people who deliberately screw with their own team, etc., and I've tanked to 1600 SR as a result. It's been like 15 losses in a row.
I need a fresh start. I'm a better player than this, lol.

Nah, just simple things like going in with a mixed skill group that has 1-2 players way above the rest of the group. Since there's such a wide limit on who you can queue with and no real penalty for grouping, there's no reason not to bank on a 3~ stack with somebody who can boost while waiting on law of averages to kick in.
The most common example is there are a lot of people that are mechanically pretty bad hanging out near master rank. I'm talking consistently fail to headhsot after flashbang bad. I'm talking Roadhogs failing hook 2.0 gibs bad. And they go into comp with somebody who has mechanics way better than that who can carry the fight. Even somebody who can't put the crosshair where they want can hit Q after their buddy just solo ganks a couple times.
I'm all for the game promoting teamwork, but it has created a bit of a problem where Idk who I can trust to actually have the mechanics needed to pull off basic shit. A lot of the strats people like to use based on pro play actually are pretty taxing on that front and they just can't do it. I feel like SR gain/loss should be much harsher on people that group queue if they are insistent on not having a limited queue be available.
It really is true. Diamond last season and Master this season account for around the top 10%. But I think a lot of people who were Dva and Roadhog mains got massively boosted because of the patch.

I'm at 1750 SR right now. Well at least I'm still gold, so it's all good I suppose.

Don't stress too much over rank, what's important is having fun and fair matches.
That is what the ranking system is for anyways.

Yeah, unless you absolutely adore golden weapons or exclusive stickers (lol), there's no reason at all to care about rank. I just play to have fun, and I play who I want. Sometimes my teammates freak out about it like you need to pick a "meta" hero at sub-1500.
That said, I like seeing my rank go up over time to reflect my improvements as a player. I fell all the way to 1000 after starting at 1800, and now I'm up to 1200, and I've been carrying most of those games. I really have improved as a player, and I'm fine if it takes me a while to earn higher rankings as my skills improve.
You won't have it if they keep the same system in place for S4.

I know, but it's still a little disheartening to watch my rank go down and down. Guess that's what I get for playing alone I suppose.
Surprisingly I haven't ran into one toxic person online yet.

It's nice to hear. If you're carrying you will grind the ranks, its just a matter of time.
People will post only when they want to complain about it. You won't hear praise from anyone about the good members of the community, which are the overwhelming majority.
As for your rank instability, don't be concerned. It really means nothing. Valve knows this and it's why they always hide the numbers and ony give you the icon.

When can we get an after match voting system for selecting maps, I'm tired of getting the same maps all the time.

Pretty on point. That's the main reason why I don't feel like playing anymore after just a few comp matches. It takes so little to lose so much.

No. Call me Mondatta, I will die before I let myself get toxic.
Oh for sure, but I try to remind people that positive mental attitude helps loads.
"Guys fight the other team not each other!"
One match today we had trouble with a Genji and Mei so I switched to Junkrat. I Maine's demo in TF2.
First words out of the team were "no Junkrat please"
We proceed to stomp and I keep saying to them "no Junkrat, I mean who plays Junkrat am I right? Ya gotta be a real jerk to play Junkrat."
I laughed every time I landed a kill from behind the cart.
You hit top 500 one season, that was a bigger deal than Master.
Lol, how the hell do you remember that? I hardly post in here.
I feel like the competition is harder now than it was in Season 1 though, so this feels like more of an achievement.

Gravity Rush, Nioh, Yakuza, and RE7 have all tempted me a bit. But I just don't think any would take me off Overwatch.
I've never played a Yakuza game, it looks like it might be fun, I don't know if it would hold me though.

It never occurred to me to put a spray on the payload car. Genius.
I like spraying the glass dome encasing the Doomfist on Numbani's payload.

I've watched some of their videos before and I don't think they really know what they're talking about sometimes.

Speaking of McCree, reflecting his flashbang is one of the most feelgood moments in Overwatch.

When it's McCree vs. Genji I like to whiff the first couple shots to try and get a reflector out of them. I've been burned too many times by reflected flashbangs.
Oh and firestrikes. Those are hilarious when reflected.
