Yes, you are obviously good at Hanzo and the hate at specific characters is pointless before you see someone use them.

On the other hand, if you have four DPS in your team and it's obviously not working, would it not be better to be the one to make the change? Would another tank not have been more useful in that situation to give absorb some damage and give the rest of your team something to build off?

I don't know if that was the compositions throughout the match, don't want to make too many assumptions. I had a mentality change recently where I started making character changes when it isn't working, rather than getting angry at my team. Even if we lose, at least I felt I tried everything.

Hope this doesn't sound pernitcky.

No, you're right. The thing is, I can only play projectile characters. I suck ass with everything else.

Junkrat, Hanzo, Genji and Lucio for the most part.

I got 3 kills at the start of Hollywood, and that was the only reason we took the point.

The thing about our mercy was that she was throwing... She refused to heal me the entire time. Even when I'm constantly on fire. So I had to heal on the payload and pick health kits up.

Then we barely made it to the 2nd point, and that's when the timer ran out. I would gladly switch, but it was a hopeless game anyway.

Definetly. I looked at the kill feed the entire time, and it was just the red team destroying us. Reaper, Pharah and Tracer got barely any kills.

So did they change Roadhogs hook? I swear it's a buggy and unpredictable mess currently. Half the time people I hook land right in front of me as they should, the other half they are "bumped" half a meter upwards right as they land, causing me to constantly mess up my hook kills

Ah, fair enough, there's only so much you can do with some teams. Just wanted to offer some alternative advice.

The PC version of OW sounds like some sort of hellscape. It does not make me miss the lack of voice chat on xbox.

I chose Hanzo for the first time ever in Competitive yesterday because we had one of those gobshites on the team who thinks they can pick everyone's character. You know the type, they'll click Rein a few times, then Mercy, then Zarya. They kept doing it and then chose Widowmaker.

Nah. I'm not having that.

So I switched off my Lucio and went Hanzo. I was surprisingly good with him. We still lost.

We do. Please keep using the report functionality. We're also in the process of reviewing our punishment policies with an eye towards getting more aggressive on toxicity and throwing and other bad behaviors.

Apologies that people have treated you poorly.

I had this exact same thought. People shouldn't be getting rewards at highest tier. They should get it for rank when season ends. People would wanna win more instead of reaching Diamond or above and then just throwing cuz they don't give a shit anymore.
Click to expand...

Yeah.. It's very toxic below diamond with people clearly not trying to win.

But why should the ace DPS change and not those who aren't dealing that much damage or confirm kills? I know, you can't physically force other people to do things and sometimes it's better to do it yourself. But changing in that mentioned case would also confirm and support that (toxic) behavior from such people (and if they lose after that switch people were like "yeah, too late, we told you so"). People suck. And sometimes people need just a punch in the face, even it is you who have the only vote card.

Have you noticed the hammer nerfs?

I'm going to go to the training thing to test how firestrike registers after shatter, I'll check that too. I didn't notice much last night outside of a shatter not climbing to the top of a payload. I've always noticed people going through some hammer swings though that I thought would be hit.

Curious to see what you find. You may have to whip out your new golden gun more often if Rein is less viable.

Your shatters were definitely working on Eichenwalde. Lawd, That was a fun game.

I'm going to need scientific comparisons, swinging does seem sluggish but I don't know if it's much worse.

Until they fix it i should stick to mercy for the team's sake.

This might be a dumb question, but regarding the free weekend: I don't have PS+ but I do have a physical copy of the game, so can I play for free using my disc or do I still have to download the entire game from the store?

Because if you want to win, you sometimes have to give in and switch, even if you're doing well. That team composition isn't that great to begin with and maybe by switching off of Hanzo to something that fits better, he could make it so that more of his team can perform well and get the W

Hanzo fits better than a Reaper. I'm not sure what you would recommend for that Comp they're in.

Benny is just trying to suggest other option that can lead to a win than holding on the better elim card.
Since i dont know what the map is. Benny probably suggesting having another beefy hero for contest ability. Since looking at the comp. Only hog and reap can contest the pt while pharah n hanzo is somewhat range. Tracer is too squishy to stay in pt for long.

At the end it just self reflection to think things thru that what else oneself can do to improve the situation since other ppls play is out of owns hand

That's what I did. I tried my best. I stayed on the payload majority of the time and got kills while doing so.

Mercy didn't. She spammed ''Thanks!'' over and over again, and refused to heal me.

It's an automatic loss. Nothing I can do about it.

It's alright. They sound like one of those teams that automatically tilted cuz you picked Hanzo. Nothing you can do about that. This is why I always pay attention to the kill feeds.

Get a legendary and it's cyborg solider 76, so ugly, the one before it was Goth Zarya, I want to die.

I would literally rather have dupe credits to save for something decent than that trash.

I wouldn't be surprised if at some point they'll allow you to choose your skin from the hero selection menu. Make those 40 seconds wait times actually worth waiting for.

The DPS that sucked should switch. It doesn't make sense to drop your best damage dealer to something else.

yeah, but I meant enable skins that people don't have unlocked for custom games to make them themed, kinda like how Uprising PvE did it.
