Interestingly my first few 1v1s when the mode first dropped were all similar blow-outs, afterwards I got matched up more evenly. Winston 1v1s will never not make me nervous since it's GG as soon as you lose contact and they don't.

Is he solo queuing?
Everyone who does these challenges with a group kind of bothers me.

yeah. he just got brutalized on hollywood LOL.
Just saw his McCree on Dorado. That's not nice at all. Is it really fun stomping bronze lvl players?

I think you added me, but I'll be on in like 4 hours if you're still playing then
Talynn#1113 for anyone looking for a 2600-2800, West Coast USA flex pick player who mains S76, D.Va, Rein, Lucio, and Zen this season.
Hoping to change that to 2800-3000 tonight. Two wins away from 2800.

Because means exist to play the game in a relatively balanced manner otherwise. That there's a hero that exists in the game that is unable to perform his intended purpose is irrelevant. Hero viability % and game balance are not necessarily correlated.
I didn't say I like it either, by the way, but I'm trying to make clear there's a distinction between the matters.

Yup that's the Rein one, I honestly have no idea how people can be so obtuse lol, it seems to be happening too consistently to just be freak occurrences.

For the most part it's very solid advice, you have more chances trying to attack/hold as a team than you do if everyone trying to do their own thing. Coordinating attacks in this game is key regardless of skill rating, there is no other simpler way of winning. The problem as you describe, is when your team goes up the middle every time, but the objective is locked the fuck down. This game is too dynamic to break down any specific strategies because of all the variables. The problem boils down to why their strategy is so successful, in the skill rating you're currently in, it's usually as simple as finding out who their star player/hero(s) are and countering them directly. Too many times do I see the kill feed lit up from one enemy player or someone just yelling "someone do something about this ___" but no one switches to counter them directly. You'll be surprised how fast the enemy's defense crumble when their star player is being eliminated consistently.
Grief I just got off. If you're on later we can get some matches.

Watching iddqd and jesus hes just battle mercying and winning against bastions and zarya
Gold elims and 13k damage just on the Attack round lmao
Was triple tank too?
What I was thinking. Kind of a dick move doing it tbh.
The biggest dick move of it all was that he had to throw enough games to get the account from Plat to Bronze.

Feels more surreal than funny like how the bastion changed from turret mode to try and shoot the mercy coming up on him.
Does feel bad having a pro player basically dump on you.
Also 1v2 a torb and Zarya damn battle mercy no joke.

I really lack a lot of empathy for Smurfs.
Especially ones that start out low like bronze / silver, or intentionally throw to get there.
Like, way to ruin everyone's day and make sure no one really learns.
BUT THE MEMES. KAPPA.

Yeah I basically feel the same.
Like it'd be funny if it was one or two guys but it seems to be a large amount of players and that's just stupid.

There's no real difference between bronze/silver/gold/platinum imo in terms of game awareness. The higher you go up the more arrogant players get anyway. There's just as much stupidity in gold as there is in bronze. Better aim is literally the only difference between the tiers.

What?
No.
Did you see the clips posted here?
The Bronze players couldn't even tell who was on their own team.

I bet you can play the same trick on gold players.
Sombra and Reaper have an interaction on Oasis where she asks him what are they doing here, and he tells her that they are visiting an old friend of her. I wonder if it's a new hero perhaps.
My inkling would be Mercy though if it's one of the existing characters. From the recall short you see Mercy located in Iraq, where Oasis is. Also Oasis has some sort of youth regeneration technology so makes sense how she never ages.
I want more lore hints and story expansions on this game. I feel like every new content just brings more questions.

Man you need to watch some bronze clips on youtube. It is strikingly bad. I came from gold to platinum to diamond and it's just different at that tier.

How come every time I get a KOTH map I get matched up with someone who picks Torb, never puts a turret down and then refuses to change? Like, is the game fucking with me?

I came from bronze and now to gold, it's not really that different. Team comps are worse in gold than they were in bronze lol, that's where the arrogance and stubbornness comes in.

gold players play with their monitors on.
So youre saying gold is worse than bronze?
That's so interesting!
Gods is an excellent DPS and his widow is no slouch.
I hope this change makes C9 more competitive. I am wondering if either Gods or Mendo will be playing tank or dps
There is a massive difference. Game awareness is everything from knowing who's on your team to ult management. You can't honestly believe there's no difference between those 4 tiers?
That's normally the best thing to do. No point trying to heal people that keep dying.

So after my initial placement at ~1800, I've fallen to 1500. Sometimes it's my fault, but a lot of the time I just watch teammates do all kinds of stupid crap en masse while we get slaughtered.
That said, when I hear about someone getting to 4000+ through pugs, I know that I have a ton more I could be doing since I'm not getting similar results.
A few days ago someone posted a video about what each bracket is "about", but I can't find that link - anyone have it?
Why would anyone refuse to put a turret down?

the better question is why torb on king of the hill
Search mind fuzz on YouTube. Video should be on his channel. Think he uploaded plat today. Would recommend watching skyline too to improve.
Aimbot Reinhardt. I'm done.

Thank you! I'm watching his bronze video, and the first thing I noticed is that his D.va reticle is different from mine. Mine looks like a circle, and his is crosshairs - what's going on with that?
Garrett Hawke

Can't link ATM but it's probably skyline. Just type skyline Overwatch on YouTube
You can change it in the options, as well as bloom. Some people say different reticle helps in aiming/headshot tracking.
BTW it's nice to see FGC peeps,especially Marvel heads, getting into this game. It maybe FPS on the onset, but Overwatch = truly best fighting game of 2016.
-----------------------
iddqd's tracking is insane.
Sounds like they're throwing.

Probably the next Twitch streamer's smurf account lmao.
People are easily amused. It's like going into a low level dueling game with a lvl 9x Sorceress with a conviction merc.
A stomp is a stomp, people want that.
