Why is the menu so freaking sensitive on the PS4 version? I have a really small dead zone on my DS4 and normally it isn't a problem. But with Overwatch it makes navigating menu's a pain in the ass. Why are your menu's feather sensitive blizzard?

 

[ohkay]

I think the main point of decay is to keep top 500s playing so they can't just stop and be safe. There is no reason diamonds should decay, considering top 500 starts in GM.

One thing I hate on both PS4 and Xbox is that going into and out of the sprays menu for heroes in the gallery is super laggy. Like, the game almost locks up for a full second when leaving the menu. It's weird.

Yep. I used to love spraying before they turned it into a menu and ruined it.

I barely use sprays now too.

 

[Shredderi]

How do you counter attack bastion team with rein+2 healers focusing on bastion? Assume that no one on my team can use Tracer and Genji because they all hate those heroes and avoid playing as them and thus can't use them when the need arises.

Up to Spray. When life was simple.

You guys know you can still use your normal sprays right, just go to your controls and check your bindings.

I still like using different sprays. I wish the implementation was better.

Bomb that shit with Junkrat and get them to scatter.

Can I change it back to up dpad? That would be great!

Radial menu's that make you let go for input have always sucked.

I always forget about the spray menu in the first place because it's so clunky

Yeah I remapped my normal spray to UP and made spray menu LEFT I think.

 

[Veelk]

Sprays are a pain in the ass to use using the menu, but it's a huge improvement for emails and voice lines, which I think are better suited for expressions anyway.

 

[Shredderi]

I shall try that next time

 

[Cappa]

Apparently the event starts tomorrow at 11AM EST from German Playsation store leak.

Sounds about right although a little early. Usually 1-2pm eastern based on other events

Besides junkrat, Pharah seems like a reasonable choice given that they have 4 characters that can't really touch you. You'd likely focus on the healers first. Having a pocketed pharah would likely wreck them.

D.va, Pharah, Winston would prob be my choice if you can't run a tracer or Genji. D.va can effectively stop Bastion's damage with matrix, Pharah can get behind with her mobility and/or boop the Rein away with conc shot, and Winston can just leap on the Bastion

Boop is so good these days I really need to start wall riding afterwards. I'm sure I could get that achievement pretty quick.

I got it by accident during a competitive match, when a flanking team was a smudge too close to the edge on Oasis's University map.

 

[Deleted member 325805]

I need 2 more Arcade wins before the reset so I join CTF and I'm playing against teams who all defend resulting in 7 minute draws, what absolute boring bastards they are.

 

[Chance]

Bomb that shit with Junkrat and get them to scatter.

Orisa is also a really good Rein counter, I've found. She can also lay decent DPS into Bastion from the edge of his effective range, and Halt can yank him out of cover.

 

[DR2K]

Are they not going to reveal the contents of Overwatch anniversary? Usually there's a trailer that shows everything off

Well, I got my 2 wins and my first ever double legendary box, both duplicates ofc but still! This is the first time I'm going into an event with currency to burn, I will be buying the Soldier skin 100%, the rest are ugly as fuck so unless there's more I'll have enough for next event too.

It's the Origin's Edition plus 10 Anniversary loot boxes, that's it.

 

[Prelude.]

2470>2455>2491>2471>2520. Exit game, see you next season.
Fuck this elo, lul.

Every loss was because of a widow/hanzo btw. The kind that switches off, we start winning, and goes back so we lose.

 

[SmackAttack]

I still haven't gotten many chances to play her yet. Think I've had one really good QP game and that's it. Good to know this though.

 

[MCD]

As a Bastion main (don't hate lol) Tracer, Genji and Roadhog give me the most trouble.

Pharah is a pain sure but I can manage her unlike Road's one hit kill chain attack, Tracer's bomb and Genji's annoying shitck.

Zarya can also be deadly if close and no one's there to back you up.

 

[Vault Dweller 111]

Ned and Owzers come make us a six stack

I'll be on soon with Pinku but I presume you'll be full and we'll end up in qp...eww.

 

[Vault Dweller 111]

Me Biscuit and Cappa just making a stack, but Ruler is on and hopefully about to join. So I guess it depends how fast you can be.

 

[hypernima]

I might get on my off meta smurf for games, but that's only if you wanna lose elo.

 

[TWrecks310]

I can group up and play quick play with you guys later if you want

I had my final tilt from this game

My season high was in the upper ~3100's to now 2540

I think my Overwatch addiction is finally gone.

Just keep rolling the solo q dice, you'll go on a winning streak eventually.

 

[MG310]

Two Lucio mains arguing over who should play Lucio for 4 rounds of Ilios. One trying to lord over the other that he is an Attack Lucio and somehow that makes him better.

End of the season games tend to suck really bad, couple this with the fact that kids are officially on vacay, it's just a disaster. Happened to me last season, I ended near a similar SR. I placed @ 2470's this season but reached diamond/masters fairly easy shortly thereafter (RIP win streaks).

 

[Waxwing]

Oy...just got out of the most toxic comp game I've played in a while. We WON (and I had gold elims) and still people were cursing and calling me pile of dog**** and threatening (or maybe doing) to report me for playing Symmetra. I just don't understand what makes humans so wretched to each other over a game. I love this game, but some of the people are just insanely cruel. I guess I understand now how wars happen.

 

[Psychoward]

Yep. I used to love spraying before they turned it into a menu and ruined it.

you can rebind it so it's still up to spray, and then put the spray menu on a different button

 

[maouvin]

Just lost 7-6 on Anubis. I had no idea you could go 7-6. And the final round is ye olde coin toss, oh how I missed it.

It was a fun match at least. Except for the final round where our Ana swapped to Hanzo to troll, maybe because he thought me and another teammate were trolling by disconnecting thrice during the match (we always reconnected, an opponent also dropped with us every time, turns out we all had the same ISP). But that's part of playing online, all fine.

I had something similar happen to me last week. I dropped from 3970 to 3500 in one night. Most of my losses were due to trolls, quitters, and one tricks.

It has completely turned me off the game and I have no interest in going back anytime soon.

Did everyone just forget to play defense or something?

Anyone else ever take a break from a character, only to come back to them having forgotten how to play them?

I swear, I used to be a pretty good Rein, but now I make the most terrible plays with him before realizing "oh, I guess I shouldn't have done that."

I fell from 3000's to 2100's my poor soul can't handle that again.

It's so bad on the weekends but it's pretty much the only time I can play now.

I think at this point I will only come back if we get a new character.

I'd keep playing with you guys but I need to get some sleep lol. At least back in diamond Yay?

[Von Krukru]

I tried playing sunday morning on PS4, I ended up in a team of 5 random 12/13 year old kids in solo competitive. I expected the worse, but they were serious, all had mics, they organised quickly and were very polite. Switching characters when someone asked, cheering one another up, no negativity. The Reaper kid lost connection while we were winning, but everyone tried his best at 5VS6 anyway!
I wish that was the standard with randoms!

 

[rulerk1]

Reaper is ruining your fun? Counter pick Reaper back at them and be better. Thank god he so strong at the last point

 

[maouvin]

I don't even know. The connections for the three who kept dropping always ocurred when my team was defending, and before the first point was captured. Then whenever I reconnected we were already on the next round, so my team likely had fast defeats due to the numeric disadvantage. Or maybe they gave up on those rounds, I'll never know.

But we were having some solid victories when attacking. Maybe if we weren't put on defense on the decisive round it's be a win. Alas.

 

[Anne]

I don't mind the decay, but I think it is way too aggressive. One game a day with a 7 day bank is quite a bit to actually go through and means you're playing with your rating up fairly often. I think something more along the lines of 3 a week would be a lot more fair. Basically every higher ranked player agrees with me that I ask about it too. It's not that people want to play less just to hold rank, it's just you have to actually schedule quite a bit of Overwatch time into your life. God forbid you can't play for a couple weeks and that takes you all the way down to 3k.

In general my main reasons why I'm not happy with the queue and comp system are just out there. Glad to be done with this season.
