I don't understand how people can be so bad, why is the rest of my team DPS? Why play comp if you do that?

That's just unhealthy. Playing Mercy isn't good for the blood pressure.
The SR system is just absurd. I'm on a winning streak right now and getting something like 50 SR per win; previous to this I was winning games at a 2:1 ratio and netting like 50 SR every three or four games. I feel like the only way to move up at any decent speed is to literally never lose.

Climbed 500 SR during the week, lost 500 SR over the weekend. Weekend players are truly horrible.
Unless you are a pretty amazing soldier, Pharah can still eat your lunch if you are the only one on duty.
But yeah people are getting quite nasty. Got flamed by a Soldier for not protecting him as rein on the Hanamura attack choke.
Forget the fact that he never actually hit anything and I had gold elims for some reason. Or the fact that Rein's shield gets shredded pretty quickly these days. Or the fact that everyone keeps ignoring my pleas to group up or to pick off bastion so I can force the fight only the point.
Also, fuck people who panic ult.
Ugh.
It's not live yet. Still in ptr
It's been live for a while.

Had a match on Eichenwalde where we pushed pretty quick...on defence we held out for so long that time was heavily in our favour, but it fell apart on the mid section when our Rein decided to switch to McCree because our Soldier was unable to take Pharah down. TBH Pharah didn't seem that much of a problem but whatever. We went to another round but on defence the bickering resumed...but we salvaged a draw but damn. Weekend players.
I'm glad I get practice with a wider variety of heroes but wins to go with it would be nice

Because it almost is. It's what 20 for the first 2-3? Then jumps to 40?. Losing starts st 20-3? When I went on s 10 game win streak last week I started getting like 60-70 SR near the end
You can legit play for 3 hours and not go anywhere
You're right, my bad.

Cool, now Red Arremer and Kirblar can form Team Suck together. If anyone else wants in, let me know. :-D
Sorry man - PC/NA.
Added.
Play for fun!
I called it quits after it because I knew it was lucky since it was all solo queuing. I kept getting matched with some of the same people funny enough so it made it easier. The funny thing is the next day I played lost like 4 in a row. Rollercoaster of emotions lol.
Said it in here earlier but honestly I feel like I get better teams later in the night like around 10 or 11.

Shit games you can see the loss on from picks 99% of the time are not fun.
The same thing happens to me on PS4. I start playing like at 8pm and the matches are pretty even or pretty terrible. After 11pm I start getting more wins. Friends say it gets even easier like at 2am
I usually can't go that late personally lol but yea wouldn't be surprised since at that timeslot probably due to the people playing then probably have a good "jist" of the game and are trying to do better
Probably because the trolls can't stay up past their bed times.

Last night was the first time I played Overwatch After Dark in a long time, and yeah, people were friendly as hell. We even joined up with strangers for a run of games. And all the game chat was respectful. Lots of "ggwp" from people who lost.

Sometimes VERY late at night (when barely anyone is playing), matchmaking puts you with very low level or high level players depending on who is active. I played really late last week and got grouped up with level 20 players; it was really ugly.
10PM-2AM seems okay. Anything later and it is Overwatch on release all over again for me.
If you stream to windows 10 and use the windows 10 game DVR (or game capture or whatever it's called) to record the stream you should be able to record as long as you'd like from your computer

This was definitely the case for me halfway through last season and how I got into Diamond. Hoping to do the same again this season.
You should be able to play for three hours and not go anywhere. I'm more skeptical of being able to play three hours, win most of your games, and gain a small percentage of the SR that you would've gotten had you won those games consecutively.
Mei can actually snipe with her alt-fire if that player was good enough.

Finally! And i wasn't even expecting it: https://streamable.com/q43xy
My first Sombra POTG since she went live i think. Too bad i hacked Winston from my team. lol
Also this was very nice: https://streamable.com/wujjp
Overtime, everyone else is dead. Me and Genji being alone at the payload and we won. I was really happy about this one because we also took the payload in overtime. Great match!

2 wins away from master and then lose 2 feelsbad
I foresee a Rez charge nerf in the future. Maybe not the near-future, but that shit charges so fast it's actually ridiculous. I think a slight Rez charge nerf and some buffs in other places would put her in a good spot.
Mercy is very similar to pre-nerf Mei, in that if the battle goes on long enough, she can get 2 ults in the same fight.
I sorta agree. By the time the enemy team has fully recovered on the point I'm usually well on my to 50%-70% ult depending on the comp.
A rez charge nerf would be delicate, though, since rapid tempo rez's are more valuable now than the hide for big team rez's of Season 1.
Maybe even just a slight nerf would completely fuck her up, I dunno.
Made a little montage of my Mercy placement games this season. Nothing fancy but figured I did pretty well to go 8-2!

It's all about the Guardian Angel cancels. Even just GA'ing to someone the minimum distance away from you makes Mercy bounce up in an unpredictable manner.
Even when you don't think you're in danger, you should still be rotating around your team with GA, because it makes the enemy team's callouts on your position (if they're bothering) outdated literally every 2 seconds.
Feathering Angelic Descent can also make Mercy harder to hit in the same way DSPStanky uses his Crossfades, by varying the movement speed.
Pocketing one teammate too much also makes your positioning waaaaayyyyyy too easy to read for enemy divers. You really should be rotating around the team as often as possible and pocketing specific people only when they need it.
Yeah, hitting a mercy is a gigantic pain in the ass. Pharah's much easier.
+1 to this. Mercy's greatest strength is her mobility and GA should basically always be on cooldown if you can.
Placement montage is a good idea. Wish I could make montages. Only recorded one game so far anyway so wouldn't have enough content anyway.
You should make one when season 4 ends too.

We should probably start thinking about a new OT title, eh?
Overwatch |OT9| No parking
Overwatch |OT9| 25 is not who you think it is
Overwatch |OT9| Now featuring a robotic cow
Overwatch |OT9| Dedicated to all the Hanzo mains out there
Overwatch |OT9| Hooked from Dorado to Point 2 of Ilios

I gave that ago
I"m going to need friends, on pc, on that level. So playing for fun might be a dead dream. Maybe the game will be a good video game , next season.
That solo que seems like the opposite of " playing for fun"

There were a few games I forgot to record. I think I had only 6 placement matches to work with for it but figured it'd be enough. I'll see if I can climb to diamond this season and put some effort in!
Overwatch |OT9| Cow level? We have a cow Hero!
Overwatch |OT9| Barrierwatch
Overwatch |OT9| Bastion is dead! Long live Bastion!
That's all I have for now.
