Six rounds of Numbani only to end in a draw, woof.

I had that last night too. That was one long, meaningless, match.

4 wins, 1 draw, and 5 losses in my placement matches. I got around 2200. I played all 10 matches with 4 friends.

1 got around 2800. One was bronze, one was silver and one was around the same score as me.

The one who got silver was by far our best performer of the night, by far.

But now the gap between our highest and lowest means we'll not be able to play competitively again until the next season.

Why even bother starting a new season when absolutely nothing changes? Pointless.

Also, two things I'd like to see changed with overtime:

1. Don't increase the spawn time for the defending team when a point is being contested. The attacking side has had their go, why should the defenders be held back?

2. When a payload has reached a checkpoint in overtime, don't give the attacking side another 2+ minutes to get to the next checkpoint. Again, they've had their chance.

There were quite a few times where I was slaughtered as Zen just moseying down to the objective, it was harsh and rude

When I was Zen in a map, a Tracer was just focusing on me until I had to switch out. No protection

No sweat. Tryhards in QP. it's silly, tbh

Damn tough set of games, not even close lol x_x

People using their gold hero mains. It's not even casual.

 

[FUNKNOWN iXi]

Is there a reason why sometimes you can charge someone with Reinhardt and they'll only bounce off, even on a clean direct hit? Is this just some bs that happens? I've always wondered lol.

One of those funky hitbox bugs. It's totally random.

Must be comp practice, or aternatively post comp salt.

Im cool with it, already got one lootbox and Im almost at another despite some bronze medal playing

 

[Moonkid]

Lol it's alg! Always a treat seeing a useful junk in action anyhow

 

[ponpo]

I was in transcendence moving forward and noticed a friendly Junkrat Rip Tire was right beside me with critical health. It didn't heal the tire (can you even heal it anymore with health packs?) but it made me think that would be a pretty funny strategy as a combination of the two ults.

 

[LiK]

Most damage as Hanzo. Didn't know that was possible.

 

[Moonkid]

Isnt that a hanzo cliche?

Im starting to get some lag, if I drop out half way through itll be that.

 

[ponpo]

Playing with a 3 stack of Korean 15 year olds right now lol. Carry me during placements my friends.

 

[LiK]

If you play Lucio, stop trying to be fancy with speed and heal your damn team. Hate idiotic Lucios. No one cares how good you move around.

 

[Moonkid]

Yeah as solo healer he wasnt too hot. Last game for me, ended up playing for longer than I anticpated as always heh

Need my montage views and reddit upvotes.

I was just getting shredded to notice 😂 first time as orisa was average to say the least. Gg!

These are the ones that pretend they're dspstanky. Gotta boop everyone, even at the worse times! If your Roadhog teammate hooked the Mercy in, boop her! You're totally helping with that 25 damage while he misses his shot because of your boop!

QP is still filled with gold weapon tryhards. Why don't they just go Comp and do their damn placements instead.

Was actually mad irl that we couldn't push past this in Dorado, expected a loss, and somehow spammed the enemy team into an even more shameful loss.

Wake me from this nightmare.

Are golden weapons supposed to be a sign of anything 5 seasons in?

 

[TWrecks310]

Well, I'm up for late night Comp.

And I was right about TWrecks. He placed way too high for us.

We'll always have my smurf

Of course. People are still using their mains to slaughter everyone in QP who are just messing with random heroes. Fucking obvious. Had to pull out my mains just so I'm not forcing a fellow Gaffer to endure constant losses playing with me.

Don't smurfs usually have even better MMR than your mains? Did your placements with it yet?

People that have been participating in comp since launch have 1-3 golden weapons at this point, a golden gun doesn't automatically mean someone is "trying hard" on their main.

I have a golden weapon on a hero that I've played 4 hours total.

Well, that's just you. If I happen to check their time played, it's their most played 99% of the time.

No, it's not just me.

And why does it matter if someone is playing their main in QP anyways? "Tryhard" is just code for "I got outplayed"

 

[Baron Doggystyle von Woof]

Career high: 3510
end season 4: 2560

Curious how I will place.

6 wins
3 loss
1 draw

2454. Fuck this shit.

If you can't figure out what I meant by "tryhard" then there's no reason for me to even discuss this with you anymore.

I just said it though.

You got rolled by an enemy team because someone was playing their main and you weren't, that's it. Nothing wrong with that, no reason to complain about it.

Okay fair enough. But speed is also an essential part of his kit, if he's not being anything more than a mediocre healer than it's a detriment to the team.

It's equally as frustrating having teammates who don't take advantage of speed boosts to get to better locations or chase down kills.

This random I played with was literally just sticking with speed boost with no enemies around while I was standing next to him at half health. I had to go for a health pack instead of waiting for him to switch to healing song.

Yea that's definitely bad. I honestly find it hard to strike the right balance. If a team fight is going on I feel guilty if anyone dies when I'm on speed so I usually just leave it on healing, even though there is a very good chance that the speed would've helped my teammates way more than 20 or so health I hate seeing 20 defensive assists to 2 offensive assists.

I love amping up the speed of an ulting Roadhog or Genji, or getting the team right up close to a friendly grav. And whenever we win a team fight handily and one or two enemies are trying to get away then I'm 100% speeding into them, worst feeling ever is when the team didn't follow (happened way too often last night).

You can't be passive Lucio anymore, his DPS is super important now.


Damn... just got off work and now I feel like playing Lucio. Guessing there is no stack available at this time though.

 

[Darryl M R]

One purple and one gold dropped in my lootbox.

Purple: A dupe of a Pharah skin
Gold: A non-event skin for Genji



Seriously Blizzard.

Yea, I was mainly bitching about that player cuz he was an awful healer.

 

[ponpo]

Actually got a meme thrower in my 6th placement match, torbjorn on oasis that just suicided into the cars the entire round.

Simply epic. Thankfully placement matches are irrelevant.

 

[Nuno Pinto]

Guess my luck ran out, 6 boxes in a row with crappy content (besides sombra dance). There goes the average of a legendary every 5 boxes :\

 

[SuperBanana]

20 boxes. 1 skin.

Fuck this.

 

[Don Draper's Hat]

Got a legendary drop. Yay!

500 coins. You fucking what? What the hell am I supposed to do with 500 measly coins?

That's my quota of legendary drops used up for the next 30 boxes.

Welcome to my world. I had 3 lootboxes last night and all blues and whites and ALL dupes.

 

[Mr Git]

Played first placement match last night. First round went brilliantly then consistently waffle stomped. Gonna try my second in a min

 

[Nuno Pinto]

Welcome to my world. I had 3 lootboxes last night and all blues and whites and ALL dupes.

Same for the most part (just got the 7th and it was 2 blues/whites), even purples were scarce in these last boxes.

I do prefer dupes though if it's not something I want from the event, more currency the better. Don't really want anything in particular from the regular stuff, I think I've bought everything I wanted already.

Lol working I'll be on tonight though probably around 5pm est

 

[Nuno Pinto]

Think I've finally found some good settings for hanzo, he always felt a bit off but lately I'm having a lot of fun with him in mh.

Now I just need the skin and dance to be a pro.

SAKE

[Costia]

Whats the drop rate on the event skins?
As in how may loot boxes on average will it take to get one?

Got two loot boxes last night - both had purples and both were duplicates of dance emotes I already had.

I have 4 dance emotes total.

I hate this randomization.
