This game isn't for you lol
I'm starting to think that's true. I just wish I knew why, because it used to be.
Honestly, is it designed to take 3 minutes only to be placed in a super unbalanced match every time? This isn't fun.
I just got the game. I just want to have fun, but it seems broken to me.

Why are you guys taking this game so seriously?? I think that is the biggest problem for some of you. I mean, it's a game, it's supposed to be fun. If you are not having fun in Comp take a break, play QP, Arcade... or just take a longer break, play something else.
I know that it can be frustrating but you can control that, you are the one who should control it. Don't let it consume you and make you feel bad about playing or something. Also don't let ppl tell you: "This game is not for you." There is no such thing. Maybe some content of the game is not for you, but only if you let it be like that. And that's totally ok. Not everyone should have fun in Comp, or QP, or Arcade or any other mode. That's why there is a choice.
My advise would be, don't take it to seriously and try to have fun in other modes. If you feel anxiety while playing comp, you are sweating, you are not having fun. Take a break, play something else, go out...
Telling ppl: "This game is not for you" will not help. Because this is not a joke for many ppl it's more serious that some think.
Just my 2 cents.

Anyone know if the new legendary skins add any new voicelines?
That is what I call justice.
I'm assuming he won since 6v5. If so he lost more than 50 since he didn't get his sr for winning.
True.

Playing through my first ten comp matches, wonder where I'll end up. 6 wins 2 losses so far. Playing mostly Pharah, Dva and Torbjörn. My PSN is my GAF name if someone wants to team up at some point.

Zarya is a difficult hero to give tips because it comes down to situational awareness, cooldown management, knowing when to bubble and not when to bubble, and using your ult effectively with your team. Great Zaryas can control the flow of the game better than any hero out there.
My biggest piece of advice would be don't use your bubbles every time they come off cooldown to build "quick energy". They need to be saved for team fights and saving teammates. Also, watch Lassiz on twitch and see how he plays Zarya.

It's always nice to get 4 duplicates when there's a special event on.

Because it is, for this to happen the winning team would have need put up an exceptional defense previously, it doesn't happen willy-nilly.
As a Mercy and Torb main I find it odd that we talk about Rein a lot, it's time to buy a second gold weapon to make things official.
nowdays i only get play comp when gaf group is on. never touch solo q comp since placement. just get the psn app on your phone and stalk whos online then get on to join the group.

It's noooot.
Really, i barely play her now. And i am not even sure what is her 2nd achievement.
I one shot killed Genji while falling down from my grapple jump, and achievement popped up. It didn't look too hard tbh.

The second is venom mine kills I believe. Don't remember the specifics.

This one's easy to get:
1) Have a game where someone on your team leaves.
2) Wait for most of your team to ragequit afterward.
3) Now that it's 1v6, ask the other team if you can get the achievement done.
Presto!

I just looked online:
Sounds doable in longer matches. But still... venom mine doesn't really do much dmg.
Thank god i didn't had to do that, lol. I usually don't look and care about the achievements but i like to be surprised and actually do what is required to be done for it. Many achievements in Overwatch just unlocked for me without even knowing what should i do exactly.
I unlocked mine in QP match.

Pretty sure you don't need the killing blow with the mines.

I know. That would be stupid.
But i am just saying that it doesn't do a lot of dmg, and enemies usually run for health packs or healing after being poisoned.
I used to have very little confidence in my Ana (<50% WR last season in Diamond), but I had a really good match with her solo-healing on Volskaya last night. We full-held second point, I had 15 Nano assists and my team was complimenting me the whole time (and everyone else, because all 6 of us were playing well).
smh when some1 goes into a widow custom but only to use smg to kill lol

Since you go on to say you just got the game: In the first few levels, the game tries to evaluate your MMR, so you'll be put in weird matches. Just so you know that. You won't immediately be placed into matches that will fit with your skill level.
And even if you're placed in the MMR/SR that is appropriate for your skill: There is no matchmaker in the world that can create games that will always feel like they're close. The human factor in this game is not to be underestimated. Sometimes steamrolls just happen. Heck, a good team that does well on one day can do terrible on another, or the momentum can swing around a lot as well, depending on map, mood, what have you.
This latest patch introduced a few bugs and fucked up 2CP maps, but otherwise it's perfectly fine. Not sure what you mean with "broken".

Fire then press jump at pretty much same time, still counts.I didn't even knew that there is achievement for this:
Lol XD
The mine actually very easy, lay one, when it is triggered just kill them before it wears off, it just needs be active on them, not the final blow.
Yea, I got this pretty early like back during the launch weeks. Was easy against a Torb player on Defense, heh heh
I've had it for about 2 weeks and played a lot of matches already. My mmr is around 2600, which I assume puts me in the biggest pool of players.
I say it's broken because it takes so damn long to get into a match. Is it normal to wait 3 minutes or more per game? I think it's ridiculous. Ranked or QP, it doesn't matter. Both are slow.
It's normal. The MM is slow as shit. It's usually very fast if you're backfill or you're in a stack and placed against another stack who is searching.
I think the longest was probably 4+ minutes for me.

Fucking Hanzo, had one of Def who would take about 10 seconds of aiming between shots, that then missed.
I nabbed Genji during the spam to piss him off and boy did it, got hate mail from all three during the match and they basically just followed me about trying attack me.
Worth the SR loss.
Hanzo, Genji, McCree 3 stack, have the nerve to spam select Rein and Mercy as if to imply someone else should play them.

If nothing else Veelk, I understand the feeling of "perhaps removing the disc from my life would be an improvement".
The ratio of fun times to frustrating times is often skewered way too heavily in the negative side, damn why do those fewer fun times have to be so good though?!
That's what kills me at times. People shouldn't​ try to tell others to play characters that might help the team, but do it themselves. So many still don't realise, it's a team game.
This brings up bad memories.
Remember on launch when people would rage switch to Bastion because they couldnt play their hero well enough and a lot of people didnt know how to deal with Bastion?
thats what Pharah feels like now

Okay, I asked my daughter, the achievement spray farmer, how she got this. Her friend played Junkrat. He laid down his trap and she put her poison mine on top of it. When it triggered the 'Rat finished them off, if necessary. Rinse and Repeat.

Lol at reading this right as this match ended, had time to save it still in the 5 minute share window (also did an instant cap on round 4 right before it).
https://youtu.be/9EGo0sENgNU
But yeah Pharah often decides games.
Seems the idiots are out in full force today, been paired with people who have no clue what their doing and keep getting killed. Why are the fandoms on the opposing teams always so much more organised? Such a joke. I've dropped nearly 150 ST in the past few days. Sticking to stacks until I even out, playing on the weekend is awful for me.

Okay then, I guess this means I can't play Pharah (not a surprise) since I'm not really the deciding factor in my matches. Except for maybe when we lose. I like picking her though.
Maybe the issue is that I usally can't hit shit and my ult is mostly a failure lol
