I had some good games earlier, one match I walled McCree off from using his ult twice and my friend killed him once during it. I'm getting much better at aiming her icicles, some long ranged headshots and what have you. Played one game of Roadhog where I finished with 82% hook accuracy. If you're playing McCree, why would you just strut out directly in front of a Roadhog with your ult? I hooked Deadeye'd McCrees probably 10 times today. Roadhog is seriously one of the most fun heroes in this game, I just wish the pathing on the hook pull was consistent.

Mei is complete trash and no one can convince me otherwise.

No one will try to.

I caved in the bought the game on Amazon (PS4). I really hope the PS4 community stays active for a long time, and I'm just not riding on the hype for it. I did play the beta, but only got to play 2 AI matches. It looked unique and interesting enough to warrant a purchase.

I don't know if this means anything, but I really enjoyed Splatoon. People saying this game is the most enjoyable shooter game in a long time got me interested. I hope I enjoy this game as much as I did with Splatoon.
 
I refuse to play Zarya just because of her design visually. I despise the tattoo, I despise the pink hair, it just completely turned me off of playing her. I have nothing against the female bodybuilder design but I don't think the stuff I mentioned goes well with it at all.
She has a hat on for her legendary if that's any better. I think she still has the pink hair for the other one though.

She has quite a few lines in Korean, like how Mei does. Even her "hello" line can be "annyong".

Oh so she says other things

Man I should have taken the opportunity of my team going full D Va to try her out

Instead I went healer bc I was convinced they were going to die horribly.
They didn't tho
 
Played with some decent randoms tonight while soloing. We frequently informed each other of our ult status and everyone played a specific role. Our losses were pretty close.

I reached level 17 and got a purple loot: 150 credits 😠

And did anyone think Kings Row unfairly favors Defense? I can lock defenders down as Symmetra, then lose on Offense if the Defense does the same.

The D. Va cycle

Opponent team picks all D. Va's on attack and trounces us bc we have no idea what to do.

Team leaves after the match.

Our team picks all D. Vas.

We trounce the opponent team bc they have no idea what to do.

4 legendary skins + 1 legendary coin. The last skin was purchased with coin and I have enough coin for another one but trying to decide between a hero I play a lot already (one of the Reaper skins) or one that I want to play more and like the skin more for (Wolf Hanzo). I think Wolf Hanzo might be one of the GOAT skins in the game right now so I'm leaning towards it.

PS4 players are on some weird juice tonight. No team work whatsoever and matches lasting as long as 5 minutes.

When this type of stuff happens I usually just pick a character I never play as and treat it as a training session to get used to their skills and what not.

Haha I got the smooth as silk achievement in the most dumb luck way possible.
Getting a scoped headshot while being airborne with Widowmaker.

From my perspective the events happened like this: I was camping back behind Anubis B, saw a Mercy and shot her in the head. Then a Pharah shot a rocket at me.
From her perspective it was probably: There's a stupid Widowmaker trying to aim, let's shoot a rocket at her.
And thanks to the servers favouring the shooter and being low tick and we both shot it probably got combined to a Pharah shooting me with a rocket, knocking me back and at the same time I managed to get a headshot.
Smooth as silk, baby.

(and then I died because I was so distracted by the achievement popping up that I really just stood there doing nothing)

It's pretty funny how toxic this game became in such short time. Everytime something goes wrong/we suck it seems there's always someone ready to blame someone. "Our healer is trash", bruh you guys aren't killing shit and I'm playing Lucio, so trust me I'm healing you. If the people talking shit don't like it, you guys should try playing support sometimes, so I can actually play something else for once.

This is why when playing with randoms I just mute everything and have fun. If we lose, we lose. The rewards are almost the same in Overwatch (after you get the first win), and it's better for the blood pressure.

Online is toxic in almost every game, sad fact of the industry.

I guess I'm still lucky. I had a guy doing that earlier, but then he amended it to say something like "I mean the assassins running off, not the supports" which was what I was so at least there was that

Genji reflect is so satisfying.

I died twice to Genji earlier from him reflecting McCree's right click and was just like "okay, I'm an idiot"

I think it's the weekend. Since launch, today's the only day I've seen people complaining about their teammates' performance.
 
My group of friends and I tend to get a bit goofy with the last match or two before we finish a session (ie: obnoxious levels of stacking) and the results leave us in hysterics even if we lose.

Level 32 rein, sees the D.Va ult, drops his fresh shield and starts running wiping our team in the final push. Just tank the fucking blast with your shield.

She's definitely my least favorite character design. Tried her out anyway and wasn't that impressed.

1 guy saying 1 line doesnt exactly equal to "omg the game is so toxic now you guyz"

There will be shit talkers in every game. There's shit talkers in this very thread.

I'm not really into her design either but she's really fun. Probably my favorite tank.

So shes speaking german then? Because thats what I thought and then people said she wasnt >_>
Yes she speaks German. And her new voice compared to the old voice in the beta actually speaks natural German, not just with a fake German-accent.
Although it's more a German like you would hear in Germany, not in Switzerland. While they speak German there they have their own Swiss-German-accent.
In the German version she actually has a light Swiss accent.
I saw a lot of people getting confused with her language because they somehow think Swiss = Sweden and think she's speaking Swedish.

Got a group of 5 people together which was cool, we were all in a discord chat. Kind of frustrating when you're the only person trying to call plays but I guess that comes with being the most experienced. Long story short we got our asses kicked. Probably won 1 out of 10 games.

Yeah, she's the only character in the game that I actively dislike.

This edit looked good, wish they had gave her a different hair color for the different color skins.

Why are people so afraid of being agressive on capture points? I play Wiston, despite not wanting to, I jump in, destroy turrets over and over yet the team doesn't push, even when I combo into an ult, they decide to rush in only after the people I've killed have come back.

Is it fear or lack of overall awareness of the things going on in the battle?

Who else running Symmetra on defense here? She's the queen of defense. Teleporter + Sentries + Offensive play wrecks offense teams.

I've got a 75% winrate on her playing 40+ games on defense.

Here's a POTG I got.

Yes me, she's almost too good but that's what makes her fun.

Hanamura especially can be fucking savage for people who don't know how deal with turrets, and even if they do you keep on your toes and you can still be a fucking wrecking ball.

Pretty sure they never intended her to lead in eliminations but hey.

Okay this game is pretty good

I like how it plays a lot

Still feel like the character designs aren't really up my alley though. As a design philosophy they seem a bit overdone
