It amazes me how quickly a team will panic and totally abandon the high ground/defending point because a Tracer touched the point for 3 seconds.
They all seemed to be on a first name basis with each other
Play a lot of support. Can confirm.
So I tried Zen for the first time today and he's kinda...good? His orb of discord is really neat and his primary attack is ridiculously good. Fuck genjis that dive me though at least with Ana I have sleep dart and grenade to protect myself. People don't really protect their healers on QP lol.
Pick tracer, flank healers ,bomb something kill more things, bait flashbang, kill mccree, bomb something, kill healer, continue hard carry
this is pretty much right.
Unlucky
When they do have charge though...
That was much quicker than previous seasons wasn't it? Usually came half way through.

When u have a good Sombra game where u could see ur impact to the team & come away feeling accomplished and useful
Anne and Uncle AJ played on stream with Cloneman16 last night, the #1 Rein on Overbuff (and #12 in the Top 500 right now).
This is mainly for Bumbletron, but he wanted to see it from CM's perspective, so I dug out the VOD timestamp from cloneman's stream: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/128483630?t=04h23m01s

One enemy member leaves.
And then..
Till they're all gone and we win.
WTF is going on today
Pick soldier, harass the harasser, drop healing station when healers get low.
Win every game.

Having a good game on sombra is really hard...whenever I feel I'm really not doing anything I immediately switch to soldier lol

nnnn the accuracy
Lmao I usually just switch to tracer. It either works or it doesn't with Sombra imo, no point trying to force it.

Pfft aslong as you dodge the helix you can easily kill him through healing station.

Try me. You're one headshot away from being an insta kill.
Also the support you're protecting will heal you up as well.

The system that decides SR loss and gain is still fucking garbage.
I regularly only gain maybe 20 SR a win and I just lost 40 SR. On a control map where it went 2-2 and we lost on overtime.

^ I'm 0-6 as ana this season and I use to be top ranked pretty high for her last season.

Just don't do it if you're on my team
Man, LGE just pushed the payload ALL THE WAY to the end on overtime in Gibraltar. So fucking insane. Real chance it'll go to 5 games now between LGE and LGL.

thanks for posting this
It seems to be easier to carry as DPS than support.
Managed to win a few finally, then lost my last two. Instant lock Genji and McCree. It just sends a shiver down my spine. Following game, lost both rounds as a healer. But won the next two as a DPS. Lost the third to a Mercy rez. I went on Mei duty(Prevent my team that continually overextended from getting flanked... again). I feel like it's an MMO all over again, babysitting people who can see forward.

My pleasure
I hate missing tournaments because I don't realize they're on, so I try to subscribe to all the OW eSports channels now so I know when stuff is going on.Man, LG Evil really pulled that off when it was looking insanely grim for them on Gibraltar. Overwatch can be such a crazy game.
Anyways, time to get some food for compLexity vs. Team Liquid.
You can turn that off in settings.

Yup, I have always loved Roadhog's alt-fire. Catching a Genji or Tracer with it at perfect minimum range is so chunky-sounding and satisfying. Just brutal. The hook is scary as fuck, but that alt-fire cements 'Hog as a truly monstrous character.

That's a really good point, and something I've been noticing without registering that I had been noticing it until you pointed it out.

playing Rein is funner for me when they have a Rein too. The mindgames played between us is intense. almost like we share a bond. That and when im the only Rein my team doesnt stand behind my shield and kill anything
My heart stopped when Lucio woke that Tracer. I was wondering how yall got out of that lol
It always disappoints me when I see an opposing Rein and get all juiced, and he turns out to be a YOLO charger. What are you even doing with your life, my elderly German friend?

"I believe in you, but if things go south could you switch off to (Category/ Character X)? We got this!" really works 99% of the time in the lower levels. At worst they admit that they can't play anything else, so you try to work with their one trick and encourage them along the way. There's a lot of defensive salt and poorly-hidden fear in Bronze and Silver. Being calm, and kind, and positive goes a long way.

kind of alarmed how well I did playing lucio (at around 1800) while eating an apple
So I'm watching Complexity vs. Team Liquid and I'm noticing that Team Liquid has Rapha and DaHang, two (former?) Quake pros. I don't really follow pro Overwatch much but I do follow a lot of Quake and it's great to see these guys cross over.
Anyone know how they're doing? Those two are basically the best Quake Live players ever.

They're both pretty good but their team never really puts up results cause reasons.
Do they always play support? That seems like an underutilization of their skill set.
Rapha recently switched to support. He used to play a lot of Zarya and Pharah.
Whenever I run into him in QP, he's playing Soldier or Genji.
Zarya and Pharah seem like natural choices for Quake players on account of their respective weapons being directly analogous to things that exist in Quake.
...I say this as a Quake player that plays a lot of Zarya and Pharah.

Add me. PSNID same as here. I'm off for the night however.
DaHang is a straight support main in OW, though. He plays Ana/Zen/Mercy.
killdatninja
Banned
Id_ is also a really good quake 3/live player, also cypher and cooller played for some random team ... and didn't look impressive at all
As a q3 player, I also main Zarya and Pharah... But Zarya did not feel natural to me, while Pharah and Mei did.
ana literally got the rail gun
The Route 66 game he's on right now has had me in absolute tears laughing
