So I was loading into a comp game on PC. I noticed it was taking a while and noticed in the bottom left corner there was a little counter that was going down from 4000 - 0, I don't know if it was downloading or loading or whatever, but my game was cancelled in the middle of this, I was kicked and ended up losing a bunch of points for it. Any idea what this was?

My ping had been randomly spicking as well, EU too. It generally hovers at around 20ms+- but it shoots up to 100-300 for some reason. No idea why
EDIT: On the PTR, Crouch spamming now works pretty much like console crouch spamming.

Seems fair to me. It's biased far too much towards characters like Soldier and Zarya, while Genji or McCree (imo) won't get anything out of it.
A Bastion/Torb/Junk on attack is almost guaranteed to tilt a team. Even if you think that you do fine, you should consider to switch anyway.
Me and my buddy are searching for players who want to group up.
I play a good roadhog and he plays a mindblowing Genji as main. We pretty much got the basics and can switch around multiple heroes if needed. Somehow we always get grouped up with hanzo etc.
Is GAF the place to find a group for competitive? I'm playing on PC.

I was the only one who was actually pushing. And I had the highest damage, and objective kills.
What's your rank?
2088, season high is 2171.
Why would people not want to play Rein?
Maybe they don't like large hammers, force barriers or David Hasselhoff? *shrugs* iunno
How many reasons do you want? People have their preferred heros which are usually DPS or healer or not Rein, or they usually say they're not good with him. But I'm not either but to win I gotta play him.
I'm at around 3026, I might be out of your range.
I find him boring or frustrating to play If the team is doing well and DPS players are getting eliminations, then you just end up standing there being a shield. Conversely, if the team is struggling, you often get killed after trying to take out the person causing problems.
Maybe I'm just not doing it right, but it can be frustrating.
Tbh playing Rein can be very fun. I play an aggressive Rein so I'm out there swinging. It is fun but that doesn't mean I'm good with him or that I don't have other hero's I want to play. I'm guessing that's the same for other people. I'm just one of those people who will actually change for better team comp.

You didn't play a lot of Junkenstein's Revenge huh. That mode was full of Soldiers that refused to heal lol
Even in diamond. Still amazing to see Pharah mains on reddit crying for a buff. More HP or armor, uhu yeah sure gg.

His gun can also be very accurate and deadly. I had great game with him today, defending Temple of Anubis and got many kills on 2nd point with his gun. Doing headshots with his gun is so satisfying.
My best kill streaks in comp this season are with torb lol

Think his turret does less damage.
Significantly less damage. I used to be fine dealing with his turrets as Genji on console but hate facing him on PC.

Hey our Torb teams on Numbani and Volskaya put in work!
And in my experience the only people who are still picking Pharah have been maining her since launch. And they usually have a friend as a pocket healer. And my whole team goes this_is_fine.jpg and does nothing to stop her.

I know, I too cannot believe he's still in the game

Yo she is genuinely fun after the change. People will hate you for it, but that's probably because they don't know how to adapt.

Dropped 300 SR and gained 300 SR in the same week on the solo queue coaster. Still looking for a reliable duo partner on central or east coast time zone PC if anyone wants to group up? I'm around 2600 right now and was 2800s last season.
I had a high pick rate on Rein last season but this season has been worse than previous ones. Rein is my most played hero at over 15 hours this season and I really dislike playing him. I do it out of necessity.
I flex and fill whatever role the team needs and have started trying to pick other tanks when tanks haven't been picked yet to try to avoid Rein but they still don't pick Rein and I have to swap anyway. It's a curse.

I dont ask for a rein unless we really need it most of the time in my matches we can get by with Roadhog and dva/Zarya as 2 tanks.
From my last few games, not running a rein feels like an instant loss. Whenever my team tries to run without him you can tell immediately that everyone is taking way more damage.
Every random projectile shot that before you could just ignore becomes one less hit for the enemy team to kill you. It's even worse on maps with chokes.
It sucks because he just isn't fun to play but I find myself having to swap to get anything done.

-Stick your orb on flankers/people engaged rather than people out of the battle that need healing since people engaged are in more danger. Good targets are Winston, Genji, Tracer.
-Learn to lead your shots since they are projecetile based.
-Stick near your tanks and second healer since you are rather vulnerable.
-Always have your discord orb and healing orb on somebody.
-Discord orb should go on the highest priority target. Its effective on tanks the most as big hit boxes and large health pools.
-Your ult works well against ults that do damage over time but do nothing to ones that do burst damage (Dva ult, Tracer ult, Mccree, Ult) but you can body block the burst damage since you are invincible during the ult. Can also use it to stall points if last resort.
-Buy Harmonry and Discord highlight intro. It's the best in the game.
Hey. You're cool, thanks.
This was me season 2 but thankfully I enjoy playing Rein, though It does get frustrating when your team doesn't work well with you
