Does the "Rate Match" feature even do anything notable? I just remembered it exists and I don't remember what use it has exactly.

I swear this game hates me.
I get a team with a 4 stack that has an ana and mercy....and they go WM ana and battle mercy....the 76 and Roadhog had gold/silver heals.
I get a team that started off well on hanamura then suddenly the rein rushes the enemy spawn resulting in us losing the defense. On attack he throws his dva ults way too high hitting nothing.
I get a team that has a rein that had the worst connection possible pretty much making it a 5v6 the whole match since he keeps disconnecting and reconnecting.
2 weeks, going into 3 weeks of utter insanity. Even when I play amazing it's already beyond hope. I play a couple of games, lose both. Log off, play again a few hours later, lose a couple, win a couple. Next day it's lose a couple then log off. Trying everything to avoid tilted play but literally my luck has been atrocious. I had teams where our 76 is being solo'd 1v1 by an enemy Sombra....hell I've even seen a team go quad DPS on defense.
I don't want to get even started with people changing out of 2nd healer mid match leaving me wondering why am I suddenly the solo healer. Especially when there was no reason to switch

Nope. It doesn't even exist on consoles.
ALSO, do you play behind rein shield or do you try to flank?
i always position near reinhardt like soldier and just stay close to him in fights and help break the enemy rein's shield. i feel like thats where i make the most impact, and i can farm ult super quick once it breaks. people say her damage is wimpy but it seems like i contribute a lot when it comes to breaking the enemy rein's shield quickly
A lot of Overwatch's problems either stemmed from Reinhardt or does stem from him.
But, Blizzard won't do anything to Reinhardt because the current "accepted meta" revolves around him so if he ever was nerfed the community would go batshit insane.

Doomfist will probably counter Rein given he will be a punching tank hero.
To be fair he is fundamentally hard to nerf. Like even if they super gutted him and cut his shield HP in half, that's still a big shield and one team not having that is disadvantaged in a chokepoint fight. Firestrike and charge aren't really doing anything inside.
I think his ult is a big offender to this however. The times one team has rein and the other doesn't shows most often when they keep getting free team wipes off earthshatters. Nothing you can do about that without your own rein.

Rein's fine, he has his limitations which is strictly dictated by what lineup you can run with him, current meta favours him but back when the cancer dive comp was what you run because of 50% discord winston has a higher pickrate than rein.
It does the same damage as the regular shot per ball (46) up to 5 balls in one very short burst with no damage drop. All 5 hitting the body will kill a 200 hp hero. It's meant for sticking your neck out for a very brief instant and shotgunning it into a choke. It's also the fastest way of shutting down ultimates such as high noon or visor if you are the only line of defense. Also, discord on a Bastion in turret form, all 5 body shots and a few more regular shots will let you take him down very safely.
It is also the 2nd easiest way of taking out a full health Mei after she comes out from iceblock, just charge it up, the instant she comes out, just 3 balls into the head means instant death.

Rein is fine, he requires an enormous amount of team work.

matches these past few weeks have either been a complete roll (my team on the receiving end) or fighting tooth & nail, and I have to be on fire 60% of the match to gouge out a win. -___-
eh, she'll be back. And it will probably be worse than this time around. xD

I'm really curious to see how Blizz makes punching satisfying and fun. They did a pretty good job with Rein's hammer, but for some reason I can't imagine how they're gonna handle punching. It'd just look silly while everyone else is wielding weapons. It's gotta be a super charged mechanical punch or something.
I still maintain that 400 armour and 100 HP was perfect for her.

Roadhog's hook is awful, even with the nerf.
Who thought the ability to one shot a hero for free(every 6 seconds even) was good idea?

I would have been fine with 300/300 or 400/100. 200/400 is bleck
d.va mains are going to drop her too. shes out of her mech more than in it with the way her armor and health are allocated.
Hes a walking ult battery for everyone with no mitigation, hes fine. he needs to actually land a hook to kill, and even the best roadhogs on the planet have like a mid 50's% accuracy with the hook.
Got to master today. From there Ive won six in a row and finding that matches are much easier because my teammates are so much more reliable and make better picks with the comp (IE no hanzos, Widows, attack bastion, etc...). Maybe its just dumb luck that Ive had such success in this tier so far and I'm sure I'm jinxing myself but it certainly feels much better playing here than before. I swear the grind from diamond to master was so taxing, even if I had a team of 5 sure enough the 1 random would be absolutely useless.
See people call BS hook on that despite the fact he was out in the open,
I dunno. I do think in a vacuum Rein is fine, but his sheer amount of "required" use at higher levels of play makes me think otherwise. Getting neat 100% use like that and him being irreplaceable by any other character in his role screams design flaw. It doesn't matter if he has clear weaknesses if those weaknesses don't actually matter and he is on every "competitive" team regardless of them.
It IS probably tied more into the state of this meta than anything else though, so it might naturally correct itself with a few more champions becoming more or less relevant plus a few more brand new ones. But if it doesn't then Blizzard should probably reassess what they want tanks to actually do and then design the role around that (cause it ain't working in that case), so when something else a particular hero does gets out of line then can be more ready to adjust them.

Good news for all the Funko Pop lovers out there.
That's not how D.va's mech works, and she's going to be like an inch tall.

D.Va and Rein actually look okayish to me.
Basically, if one player gets a lot of reports, they actually do something about it.
Didn't bastion just lose the game by not going on point? lol
yesssssss I"m all over these
The whole Pop inside a Pop thing was new with Titanfall, so it looks like they're still experimenting with it.

Hanzo and Widow can do it faster and free...er.
There was a guy who used some script to circumvent the idle detection kicker in the Mei brawl during the holiday update. He was doing it from the first day, I saw him on the first day, I reported him on the first day. I saw him throughout the entire event and not once did he actually play, and so many people in matches were commenting on it and reporting as well. He was doing it to the very end with no issue. I don't know if any action was ever taken on them, but they really need to do better.
