I had an 80% winrate with Symmetra in Season 4. She's ridiculous right now, even on attack.

If they're above a certain rank you can't but I think that's masters and no one has gotten there yet. No one from the como stack last night finished placements so there's still lost of people to play with.
I main a few characters.
Soldier ain't a bad switch. I can consistently kill Tracers with Soldier altho that's just me.
I have 3 games left. Hoping to finish them tonight with Batman and friends.
Good to know. Didn't you make it to gm lol?

Diamond actually, unless they changed the rules.

You kept pulse bomb on triangle? I switched it to L2 pretty quickly, though if you prefer to blink with L2 and not L1 I guess placing it on L1 would make sense too.

Even so Im feeling like the chances of getting one shotted by his primary fire is alot lower than a pretty much guaranteed hook death. Its more of trying to negate the hook (which is instadeath) and risking cqb fights while trying for max damage. I can try to fight roadhog a little bit farther back, but like others are saying, you can't react to the hook you can only bait and hope for the best. The more hooks he throws out the more times you flip the coin. Is the hook hitbox still ridiculously huge like reins shield?

Last season I did although I finished a little over 3900. I have four more placements to go until I'm ranked this season though.
You may be right.
0-5
I feel like I'm beating my head against a wall.
What are the best youtube channels to teach you to be better with each character? I feel like no matter what I do the opponent is always there to immediately counter me in advance.
I also think we were sabotaged. There was a Mei player on our team who was wall-icing our exit from the spawn-next game that player was on the opposing side with the team that just beat us.

Are you looking for channels that focus on one hero or for channels that teach a number of things in Overwatch? If you can be more specific on the type of content and the heroes you want to improve with I can swing you some recommendations.
Your Overwatch and Overwatch Central have hero specific ones. Good tips.
Maybe I should go back to basics to start from scratch. Characters I like using:
Lucio, Mercy, Bastion, D.Va
I'd like to be better with Reinhardt since he is always a pest to me-but whenever I try him everyone somehow gets through my shield and kills me immediately.
Welcome home.
Actually no - jump on L2, blink on L1, pulse bomb on R1, rewind on triangle.
...which led to me tossing a Zarya ult at an empty wall the other day when I meant to shield myself, but overall it works out well!

This made me cringe. Also makes me think the Winston got extremely lucky in placements.

Although I hate smurfing, I'm really tempted to see where the game would place me without all that baggage of me sucking the first few months of playing the game.
I don't want you to play Winston, I want to be the Winston main.
When I play as Tracer, I try to stay as far away from Soldier as possible. I'd rather challenge a Hog than a 76 honestly. One wrong blink and a burst + helix rocket turns you into a splat on the pavement.

I recommend Your Overwatch ONLY for basic level knowledge. That channel gets drug through the mud by Competitive Overwatch reddit for their content in regards to high level play. Overwatch Central is good though especially when they bring in pro players to talk about specific heroes.
I can't help you with Bastion or D.Va. but EeveeA is a good player for Mercy content and there are some good Lucio channels to find just from looking up "Lucio guide." Overwatch University on reddit has a lot of good educational content for all sorts of heroes inclung the ones you listed.

Any NA groups playing later on ? 2-1 currently ... Can play any tanks, soldier,reaper,+ mei .
I excel more in a group more than solo it seems as I usually overextend too much .
Been playing Zarya now and It seems she's really good most of the time .... especially closed space areas.
Trying to get to Diamond ;_;

Gotta start somewhere. They've started doing more advanced guides in recent weeks. Helped me a lot so it works for me. I also like the hosts in general.
A Really Good Soldier, Hanzo or McCree are the worst for me. For some reason I tend to get the better of Really Good Widows (no idea why), but a Hanzo who can pick me out of the air with a headshot? Like wtf am I supposed to do against that? (Wait for someone on my team to realize the Hanzo is carrying, go Winston and dive together, that's what.)
Soldier's a really tough one when he's on point. All you can do is avoid him 'till his attention's elsewhere and burst him down before he notices you.
As a Soldier player my tip is just go up in my face and I will have trouble aiming at you. We're not like Hogs that can have some accidental one shots up close unless you happened to get a helix rocket to the face.

Placements don't matter, I don't understand why everyone here is giving them any weight. You're going to place within 100-200 SR of what you ended the previous season. If anything, knowing when to stop before the season is over is better for you than what you actually place. It doesn't matter if you go 0-10, placements are usually a shit show anyway, just get them out the way.
I ended the season @ 2900's (PC), and did my placements last night and placed @ 2700's. Not a huge deal, if I really belong in diamond I'll make it there pretty quickly.

Those are probably their best videos but I still recommend channels like Skyline way more.
This is correct but I'll add an asterisk here and say that it is best to push when his abilities are on cooldown. A Soldier without his helix lacks a lot of burst and without his healing station can't sustain in any fight.

Here's our 5v6 victory clip. We were up 2-1 in the 4th round and thought we would lose 2-3 because of how we lost the point as soon as the guy left.

Yea, sometimes I try to keep my rockets in check if a Tracer is harrassing me or one of our supports.
Then get rid of them.

Yup, placements should only exist for new players imo.

Idk I ended the last season 2100 sr. just went 1-9 in placements and I'm at 1269 sr...
yo, that's a massive drop....

Worth noting: Tracer can easily burst through Healing Station, Lucio's normal heal aura, Zen's Harmony and even Mercy's beam if you're on point with headshots.
Once I see that Helix go off it's like a McCree who just used his Flashbang: lunch.
Youre pc and on discord. Be active and ask question. Usually the best is to show us some vod and we critique it and give you pointers for improvement.Two seasons ago I ended at 1850. I went 5-5 in my placements. It put me down at 1400.
Theres vast resources that can help you but you gotta be active to achieve it.

"Easily" depending on your aim and the Soldier's ability to dodge.
Soldier is consistently the character I have the most trouble with on Tracer and I play at high masters.
And junkrat
I played enough Junk to know how to counter him 1v1 thankfully. Still get caught when it's a major team fight tho.

Oh my god lack of team communication in Comp is fucking infuriating.
Had a match on King's Row where we got stuck with what I can only describe as a try-hard Genji for 90% of the game, and he proved really ineffective and when we asked him to change for like the 5th time - to counter their Genji + squishies - he went Junkrat and then sulked in spawn.
3 W/ 3L so far. I feel a big SR loss coming.

10 for new players, 5 for people who have already completed a competitive season. Seems fair, especially since by all indications how you do during placements doesn't matter. It's just a dead zone where you can get a win streak but not have it apply to your SR gains.
There doesn't even seem to be a reason for seasons at this point, aside from arbitrarily deciding when to award points for golden guns.
Ouch.
I got nothing. That sucks.
Well not "easily" as in "it's super easy to land a perfect clip of headshots against an evasive opponent," more "easily" as in "she can output more DPS than these options can recover."
