Maybe she got a little healing during the journey.

How bad is Roadhog on PTR? Can he still hook combo KO squishies?

Yeah his general one shot targets are still easy, but Ana and Reaper require a bit more fine-tuned aim in the shot, Mei seems to be trickier as well. You can't land a melee without moving forward.

Wasn't able to join team chat in any of my games today, lots of people complained about having the same issue, oddly enough some people were able to use it just fine, not sure what's causing it.

I get the appeal of duo/triple queue cause in the early days GAF players kept cycling in and out and there was never a consistent crew around to learn each other's playstyles. But there isn't much of us left and of us, most of us around the diamond/master area. So if we get a consistent group who knows which heroes we're gonna pick with each other, we could possibly get a really good team together.

Id be down with that.... we actually have a pretty good group and theres a decent amount of us that play regularly and I think were all pretty good and we all play different roles well.

you, me, Lik, ND, Owzers, Biscuit, Moon, Batman Im sure Im missing someone else.

The only thing would be time zones since me, ND(even though he never sleeps lol), and I think Biscuit are located in Europe but thatd be a non issue on weekends for me at least. I think itd be cool to practice as a 5-6 stack in QP, learn to play off of each other try new strategies and stuff and then try our luck in competitive.

Since its like 8-10 of us even splitting into two groups isnt a bad idea either... figure out who works best with who.

Maybe it's a Solo Queue thing but it feels like luck of the draw if you go into QP to learn or practice a character and everyone just has the weirdest picks or does random stuff. Then you can't do it in Comp because my SR be precious...

Had a great Genji player on my team last night in comp on Xbox. I was Zarya (of course, she's my bae), and we coordinated our Ults perfectly. We would both make call outs and react well to them, it worked out swimmingly. Sadly we didn't add each other as friends because I forgot. :(

Farewell, good Genji.

Not sure if it's worth playing comp in the last week of the season. On one hand I'm close to the next tier but I expect comp to be a toxic mess in the last week and since the Sr you finish on heavily dictates your placement I could get it next season easily if there is an initial boost again.

This is the dream. The best overwatch stream I've seen so far and I've only seen the 1st game.

That nano boosted widow suiciding instantly was the best thing ever.

Also "Don't cap, lets farm kills"rofl Grim.

Not gonna lie, but it was pretty rough last night in QP with a 5-man group with some Gaffers. Not really sure what was going on. Altho, I dunno if the guys were playing their best heroes or if people were just messing around cuz it was QP. But I was hoping it would've been a continuous stomp instead of us being stomped through multiple matches. Did way better when it was just a 3-man group with ND and someone earlier.

Did really well when I joined up with Buttch and his friends and Mario joined in. I guess just having Buttch and his friends make a lot of jokes was what made us play better overall. A positive attitude plus synergy made us stomp a bunch of teams last night.

I don't mean the gold skin itself but whenever I see people using heroes with gold weapons, they're basically using one of their best or fave heroes. When it's a full team using them, then they look like complete tryhards trying to stomp everyone and it makes it tough for me to relax in QP. Wish they went to Comp instead, lol

This is why I don't like to play Mei in QP. I imagine it's super not fun for the other team.

Although that Widow game last night probably wasn't much better.

That's what I think as well but still, it's no fun for anyone on the other team.

Yea, I don't pull out Junk in QP anymore unless I see gold heroes stomping us. Besides, I'm enjoying practicing with other heroes I play less with instead.

Lol I play with my gold gun Mei and symm on qp all the time. I don't ever take qp serious though that's why I prefer comp I get bored with qp after a few games.

I remember us being a 6 stack a week or two ago and we won like 10 straight

QP with a 5-6 man stack is basically Comp without the SR points. We were getting matched up with a lot of other stacked teams constantly and those teams were all playing serious. I don't mind people messing around in QP but when we're getting stomped, I want people to play a bit more serious to win cuz no way I wanna play in Comp with a 5-6 man stack if we can't even win QP consistently. Might as well stick with 2-3 man groups instead.

Arcade is where I totally go ham and play whatever. I try to practice and do well in QP these days.

Yea QP with stack is like competitive in terms of seriousness and skills but there is a huge difference in that comp games are much shorter and wins depend on the distance/time...that is what changes everything for me when it comes to comp as it requires a different approach rather than whether people play seriously or not.

On a more positive note, I understand using Tracer's Ult a lot more now. Works super good with Zarya Ult or just sticking it into a group. Got a few PotGs last night with ND. So she's one of my main attacking heroes now.

Seems like everyone in our group plays Tracer now.

We need to have some sort of tournament for supremacy.

Really? It felt like the complete opposite when we were a 5-6 team stack in QP the other day. It seemed like everyone was trolling. I dont remember if you were grouped up with us that day but I remember we pretty much won every single game until we all got bored and ended up just throwing games with weird picks... even then we still won a bunch of games with really bad team compositions lol

My only gold weapon is for Hanzo even though I only have 7 hours play time with him.

How long was your "break?" Any time I decide to take a break from Overwatch to play something else like FFXV, I end up playing for like 10-15 minutes only to go back to Overwatch lol.


With the New Years event over and Season 3 nearing its end Im going to make an effort to catch up on my back log... I mean Horizon Dawn is coming out in like less than a week and I really want to play that too.

4 minutes to take point A, their main damage is Hanzo while we have roadhog and soldier to break shields. Take the time to break their Reinhardt shield or speed boost half the team into a small room where they get pinned and whacked to death or take the time to break his shield and hook their support? Hmm
