What do you mean by that? Why does how you move determine how well you can aim?

Lol if paying people to boost your account to master /grandmaster is already a thing. It will be even more so if that terrible idea is every implemented in overwatch lol
I play with a lot of projectiles. My mains are pharah, ana and zen. I've gotten use to aiming with prediction when I'm dealing with flankers.
Genjis and tracers in quick play don't move in a way where they can aim. So as a result, I can't hit them while they can't hit me since their screen (I'm presuming) are going crazy with their movement.
He won the fight, no shame.

I'm still not sure why their movement would impair the ability to aim. Or are you on console?
Well it was me but i almost lost 1v1 to mercy with my ult on as tjorbjorn. Not my most spectacular play.
While I'm here, can i get some recommended settings for snipers? I mean as far as DPI/sensitivity go. I'm currently on 2400 DPI and sensitivity is 30. I'm absolutely terrible at widow aiming. Like i get into perfect positions but then i literally whiff every shot at moving targets.

Blizzard could easily ban accounts that do this if they wanted to.
Yesterday was a good day...or that's what I thought after winning my first game. I was playing with a friend, we nailed it in Eichenwalde, the other 4 randoms did a great job also. Second game, fucking Annubis. NAILED IT AGAIN. This is going good...but one shoukd never underestimate the power of randoms.
I usually don't get mad, and I don't usually blame the randoms. I mean, there are games were I know I'm not doing shit, there are games were I know my friends are not playing really well, and of course there are games were those randoms make you lose because of bad picks and 0 sense of teamwork. But yesterday I had 3 games in a row that made me turn off my Xbox.
How can you expect me not to get mad when we're winning 2-0 on Illios but end up 2-3 because fucking no one is capable of dealing with Pharamercy? "hey man, why didn't you do it?" Randoms had Soldier, McCree and Zenyatta. I was Winston. I can get Phara's attention so much before getting stomped and have to bail because the other team is focusing me. How the hell can't those 3 people get that flying demon down? Oh yeah, because they're focusing the Orisa's shield, an Orisa that was doing nothing in the game.
And don't get me started on the Rein that charged all the time by himself on Volskaya B point. Dude, I'm a fucking monkey that can jump with you, and my friend was a fucking Zarya that could bubble you. But no, what's the point of waiting, right? And you know what's great? When you wipe half a team, get inside point B and realize that the rest of your team is waiting at the choke because why the hell not.
Oh, and have I told you the tale of that amazing Hanzo that missed 2 FUCKING TIMES with the fucking dragon when the other team had like 4 ad 5 people inside a graviton? And by that I don't mean that Zenyatta saved them or anything. HE FUCKING MISSED LIKE HE AIMED 10 METERS AWAY FROM WHERE THE GRAVITON WAS WHILE HE WAS STANDING IN FRONT OF THE FUCKING GRAVITON.
This fucking game man. I love to hate it, and I hate to love it. And good morning to everyone.

Under 1000 SR is usually considered "Wood", but Blizzard is too nice to denote it as such. As long as you're above that, you still have someone to pity. And you should, Wood games are a nightmare (my 8 yr old resides there, in all his Junkrat/Torb villainy).
Got the DVA selfie highlight. I guess the tradeoff for being shit at the game is getting good loot crates :v
Well, at least I'm...100 SR above that :v

i did it back before the buff too. YOLO
Why do people throw games? 3 of my 5 losses (in a row) tonight had people throw and I just don't understand it. I'm on PS4 so can't report but like seriously wtf... Attack torb on extra round Eichenwalde. AFK torb Nepal. Torb Hanzo duo on Lijang.
Also I don't understand why my teammates consistently never use my rein shield. It's incredibly hard to climb when dealing with this shit on a regular basis.
Also fuck the SR system. Played one of my better Zarya matches tonight. On oasis. 4 rounds. Avg energy above 40, +15 high energy kills. Shit ton of blocked damage and barriers applied. My lobs were on fire. 3 Gold medals (Elims, objective kills, obj time). A high amount of final blows. Way more than I normally get. I was kicking ass. +23 SR. A match I had the other day I got +30 as Zarya when I was at a higher SR but I had maybe half of that avg. energy and high energy kills, but the one thing I did have was more graviton surge kills. Today on oasis I used 2 graviton surges, got 1 kill. 1 of those were to stall the other, Zenyatta saved their team.
So if I play well, win, and don't need the graviton surge I get less SR than if I'm playing ok, win, and have a teammate that can combo with me. The struggle continues...

Ggs today, a couple of frustrating ones (the randoms can suck the fun out of this game sometimes), but overall it was enjoyable.
There was someone missing though, that usually plays at those hours.

Sorry. I was celebrating the holidays.Ggs today, a couple of frustrating ones (the randoms can suck the fun out of this game sometimes), but overall it was fun.

Lmao we fucking called it
What holiday..... Ohhhhhhhh
Gaf ps4 does well any time I'm not there. I am officially the weak link. GG.
Went 4-1 last night with my group in comp, we edged out some really close games. For the first night in ages, we had really competent randoms who did great jobs in all areas. My hope in randoms in being restored, have to say. Even the game we lost, everyone played well but the other team just got better picks and played better overall.
Let's see what today has in store for me...

I've been trying to learn Rein (at QP, but still) and they do this so much. Like I'm walking towards the payload like a boss with my shield up ready to get it moving and these guys run in, proceed to not stay behind be but run straight through into the enemy fire and then die in front of me.
Wow, that's even sweeter than our teams 23% win on Temple Of Anubis on first point last night. (Solo Queue of course). Forget the other team, I thought they had it in the bag. An excellent Sym and a competent Rein did the job, I was JunkRat and throwing shit around.
Torb + Sym on Eichenwald defense is an excellent combo, and I have to congratulate on no-Rein setup. Although it'd be nice if it was a 1% win.
While everybody asks for a Reinhardt almost every comp game at the start of the game, I don't like Reinhardt on Attack personally. I don't care about the win rate of Rein on attacks, but I think he slows down the attack and consolidates the whole team in a single spot which has its drawbacks too.
When I'm Symmetra, it's nice to have a Reinhardt on the opposing team though. Instant ult after firing those photon-balls because it goes through everybody behind him
Blizzard recognized that almost no one likes playing Lucio, but instead of properly reworking him to be fun they just buffed everything and reduced the aura range to compensate.

Seems Blizzard think you're currently around the SR you should be.
I got like 35 last night. It was pretty cool.
This has been me for the last few days, actually played last night with the perfect Mercy, Rein, Orisa and Bastion comp but the Rein rushed out by himself at the very last stage and then we call die from lack of adequate cover. I have to get this expert achievement at some point!

Genji/Widow mains would rather die than change.
Widows in Uprising are so useless even on Normal. I was a Zen and had to constantly heal them in a session. She kept dying too. Why the fuck would you waste people's time playing Widow in this mode. People just wanna get through it for the lootboxes, not try and keep your ass alive through the entire thing. Make a custom game if you wanna practice your aiming.

The dumbest pick I've seen is Mei - a Mei that didn't even use the wall, no less. I love Mei, but does she even do damage? lol

I played about 5 games last night I think of Uprising on Expert. 3 of my attempts ended in the same spot. Right after blowing up the payload to reach the Orisas, my team nearly invariably splits up. The last one was the worst as I specifically asked on the mic for us to not split up, a couple people responded on the mic, annnnd Rein stayed behind to fight the first Orisa while we got shredded by Bastion. Like.... we were obviously gone and he didn't follow us. Bro. The one attempt that got past that choke, we actually all worked together to kill the first Bastion but then died because our otherwise strong Tracer went too far behind enemy lines and got picked by something. I flew over to manually revive but then the rest of my team got picked off and we were overwhelmed. FeelsBadMan

her right click is pretty good if you can predict shot people but mostly i've seen people hanzo it with her. you should see how long they set up to do a headshot when they freeze you lol.
A good Mei is fine for the mode. She can keep slowing down the bots with primary and alt-fire for sniping and her Ult is decent. And she has self-healing with the ice block.

It's funny that I disabled skirmish but now I get put into "waiting for more players" games. It's the same exact shit.
Dont understand these loot boxes. Constantly getting whites and blues in all my boxes and then i pop the widowmaker talon skin, couple of boxes later i open one with genji blackwatch, torbjorn gold skin (bikie skin not sure of name), bastion purple uprising skin and 250 currency. Not sure if i should be complaining or happy but thats definitely the best loot ox i have ever opened.

All the more reason to play Overwatch, tbh.
Get those wild 'n' crazy frags when everyone's playing checkers while you're playing chess.
You tend to leave after one or two matches, iirc. I'm not sure how we can get better together if you always do that. Sometimes I feel you tilted and decided to leave after a loss.
People in voice chat are like "Did Cappa leave?" lol

It's when a Mercy is flying around with a Pharah healing and boosting her
