Overwatch |OT9| There is no Cow Hero

Should've thought about that when your team stalled at the choke for the entirety of attack and never managed to get on the point at all.

Irrelevant. You can't excuse bad design by saying "never allow it to happen".

It feels like this is the hook discussion all over again.

In masters you really need to be lucky to get a team where no one throws. So much tilt.

Fuck masters. And I'm being polite here.
 
nice positioning. they couldnt do much to you up top lol
if its me i would have jumped down. i need to refrain from the urge to CQC (my poor decision making) lol
thx
after re watching i realised i should've walked forward more to flash the rein from up top instead of the Winston so our rein could shatter. would've been a cleaner fight

edit:
does the new one touch 2cp/hybrid point thing only come into effect if the enemy team never touches the point or if they touch the point several times but dont manage to take it?
 
I just won twice with Zarya in QP but I am salty as fuck. I don't get fucking healed because of damn fucking healers healing their stack members most of the time and solo fucking Rezzing them. I barely got any kills but I had some good barriers.

I've decided to give up my obsession with having 8 nice even bars on my career profile and just instalock Tracer for attack and soldier for defence and see if that works. Wanna reach diamond finally this season :(
 
also i watched the Runaway vs selfless match today and their spawn camp on kings row was so disgusting Runaway didnt even see the streets phase.
i knew Sinatraa was good from his notoriety on the ladder but dafran is also really good.

i didnt know how good Selfless were till i heard IDDQD say on that overbuff podcast that Selfless should have been an invite team.

Every qp and comp match has both genji and hanzo now. What is this shit? Don't even get me started on all of these genji one tricks I come across with 28-50 hrs on him but are still horrible. Why is this happening all of sudden? Is it just console things

Sinatraa put in work last night. His pulse bombs were so much better than whoever was playing Tracer on Runaway.

Nope. Stupid people should never be allowed to have licenses for multiplayer games that require teamwork. There should be some kind of questionnaire that decides whether you are eligible to play certain game modes like QP and competitive. Something like: is Hanzo your main hero? Do you switch heroes mid-game? Is winning and capturing the point a priority? Do you just want to run around and shoot people?

It is fucking simple: force those assholes who answer "yes" to play arcade and custom games only. There is no reason to have them play a mode with an objective other than killing when they only care about picking what they like and ignore everything else.

yh i remember one of the casters saying it was like he was sniping them with his pulse bombs. he got unpredictable sticks and built them so fast aswell

On 6/14 maps, teams that pick Reinhardt are less likely to win than those that don't!

This game has broken me. I'm am so God damn tired of people unwilling to change from genji, hanzo, and tourb even though it isn't working at all. Now when they do that I play the worst character possible if they are unwilling to cooperate. My dream of hitting 3k is almost dead.

You forgot Widow and McCree.
Soldiers usually do (kill) something.

I want a good scoreboard for comp.

I'm kind of tired of not knowing how is not doing well on my team, but the potential for BM is unlimited.

It's a sad state of affairs.

That makes sense because of how easy it is to flank him on Anubis 2p and how you end up scattered because that place is a 3d maze.

I think weve been seeing a lot of Winston recently on that map. Wonder if they figured this out themselves.
 
29-2 in a quick play game with Zarya (a miracle). And then I changed the airflow in my ITX case (made a large intake fan into an exhaust), so I have better airflow and temperatures now. I can sleep properly today without having dreams of shitty healers and Junkrat/Hanzo/Widow teammates.

Yeah that map is good for dive comps. You need a really good (and aggressive) Reinhardt to win in Anubis defense. I remember a high level Overwatch game in youtube where a Reinhardt stopped every push with his well-timed earth shatter and calculated aggression (with good support obviously). I think it was Seagull playing Zarya with the attacking team? I don't remember.

I really like the new Lucio! Although it concerns me that Blizzard is now doing a serious revamp of a hero that wasn't established as disliked as say, Bastion or Symmetra.

Indeed but he also felt off didn't he? Barely any healing, his gun is pitiful and the only reason he was actually being used is as a speed bot or by just existing. These changes really make him a better support characters as he need to rotate around the team to disperse his healing.

From watching Eevee's Bronze to T500 stream, it seems like Gold is by far the worst rank to play Mercy in. He flew threw Bronze and Silver, got stuck in Gold for a little while, and now is well on his way to Diamond.

I am barely seeing him tbh.

I wish I had your luck.

Me: Please go someone with range.

Reaper: McCree can take care of the Pharah, Mercy, Ana.

Me: -_-


Last game wasn't much better. Managed to pull out a win by just changing and forcing the change. But the other team has been rocking a Pharah, our team was Mei, Rein, Sym, Junk, Zen, and Road. With me as the Rein since they had this great plan for the first point with no healing and nothing to counter Pharah or Soldier if they stood further away than 10ft. -_-
 
Yeah, he really needs to swap to a hero that compliments them.

That's unrealistic to do every time, you can tell when you have a good (insert "bad character here). If they're decent I will play around them or at least try to for a few minutes. if they're not I play one of my Hail Mary QP characters (the one I never use in comp but have practice in QP).
 
Started playing on PC this morning for a few hours, working my way to level 25. Tweaked my mouse sensitivity & dpi (cuz I'm a try hard) Still playing on Ps4 and working my way to gold, plan on putting in Comp hours in the next few days. life goals.

Anyone want to play on a casual team?

I was thinking it would be good to improve comms and skill etc. Doesn't matter if you are bronze or top 500, will play with anyone. Got a couple of gaffers who are mildly interested. Obviously we will need 6 ppl minimum but we can easily have more since people get busy and might not be able to scrim or whatever.

PC EU is best, but NA is cool too if we can work with the timezone differences and you dont mind playing with 100+ ping.
