Bad games eh. No 6 stack eh.
Everytime I want to try playing a new character, I want to go into QP mode so that I can practice them. Or even to play overwatch in a more relaxed way. And every time I do, I just cannot understand people 'playing' badly as they do.
Surely Blizzard notices this? Surely they understand that this game is as playable as a game of basketball where an given person on the team can kick the ball in a random direction with no penalty can be.
It's so bad.

Man I just won a comp game and got no SR. Is that a known bug?
you literally gave the answer in your reasoning. Everybody's bad because everybody's there to practice characters they suck with.
You can heal me any time hot stuff

because its easier to hit things when the hitbox is 5x the size of the visible model and his orb of discord functions as a wall hack

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
I think even after a year and a half, people are sleeping on how strong a Mercy-boosted scattershot is. Oh? Three half-health enemies go hiding in a room? Goodbye!
I think McCree's beach skin is actually good for competitive cause his hitbox literally appears smaller even though it's the same.
Projectile heroes requie predictive/reactive aiming, some people like you and I are just better at it than tracking.

PSN on Sunday was astronomically bad on quickplay.
Unfortunately I have to spend most of my time in that mode since competitive places me far outside my friends skill level. Holy hell, I've never EVER encountered so many shit tier DPS players and useless snipers on my team, in groups no less.
It's endlessly frustrating because I enjoy the game so much when it's on, but the ratio of quality games to "oh god why am I still here?!" is like 20-80 in favour of instalocking double sniper teammates shitting the bed.
I'm still amazed it gets by untouched, I've heard the arguments that poor Hanzo has no other way to defend himself at closer ranges but that seems kinda silly to say when he has his overly generous tree trunk arrows capable of one shotting most of the cast anyway.

Also, I don't know why snipers should even should have back-up tools for close-range. I mean, as a sniper you are, by definition, relatively behind the lines and should be the MOST aware of everyone's position outside of maybe a healer.

Qp is only good for practicing when stacked 5+. I'm sure of it.
Nothing worthwhile is to be gained outside of learning controls/spread/etc.

Zenny used up his Trance as you were coming out of the saloon. Nice "not today, Mercy" ult.

Only two bad games fortunately, it was a 5-stack. There was no point in continuing that.
The first game on Nepal was pretty funny though a bit chaotic at times, the 2 randoms (teens probably) were pretty lively on chat and the other hanzo player was holding his own pretty well. One of them was living the doomfist dream lol

Chances of death matches being added tomorrow?
Doesn't seem like something that needs too much feedback. It's only, I assume, arcade.

Yeah quick play is for goofing, people take the arcade modes more seriously.
blizzard changed rein without putting it on patch notes for the worst and then reverted him to his old self on the ptr for a week to test out something thats been in the game since launch
i doubt it

Doomfist is unhealthy for me.
I talk *incredible* amounts of shit aloud when playing him.

Which is exactly the opposite of what's supposed to happen. I wish they would incentivize winning in QP.

I'm not sure why people still expect the competitive matchmaker to be decent. I'm pleasantly surprised when I get a good match.
They're not cooldown reliant character at all in Total Mayhem
Scatter arrows for days!
Er....yeah, I noticed that! I just...didn't know I noticed it...
It was a subconscious thing!

It's a bit silly but the entire character is designed around it so idk what they should do
They managed to make a character more heavily reliant on one ability than Hog, lol

Doomfist's one hit kills wouldn't be so bad if they just nerfed his hit box a little.
Earlier I was playing as McCree and was killed by him when he did the rising uppercut and punch combo. The problem was he never landed the rising uppercut which meant his punch went straight over my head, yet I still died.
I didn't even see myself on the killcam.

The hitbox is the size of a fucking house, seriously. I just picked him for the first time out of spite against a full premade and made mince meat out of them. Prior to that they were kicking our asses, hard.
My experience with Doomfist in Comp is that he wrecks the enemy team until he doesn't. It's impossible to understate how much his tank-like make him the focus fire target of the entire team. And if you miss your shot, it's over. He's very high risk, high reward, because if you miss your shot or your team doesn't follow through, you are fucked.

This is true. He's also fucked if there's a half decent Sombra on the other side because once he's hacked he's got absolutely nothing.

Just a while ago.
A few days ago I was playing myestery heroes in eichenwalde, area with the mega and wooden stairs right after the first gate, I was at the middle of the stairs and a charging doomfist appeared from the door above, I just retreat to the bottom of the stairs since the punch doesn't have vertical movement, he punched the wooden structure in front of him like 3 meters above my head and still got me.
It's fucking broken.
You barely need Sombra because often players will just end up in a situation without cooldowns by themselves, since he's so dependent on them. His primary fire is surprisingly damaging, but it's also inaccurate as hell and only 4 shots.
i'm the same with Tracer, when i'm really fucking with a team i just can't help myself. always makes me happy to see people complain in the general chat after a match.
Irregardless of how good or bad Doomfist is as a character, this entire design is fucking garbage. You can't give that kind of mobility to a 4 second touch of death, you have no idea what angle he can come from.
I had a similar experience in mystery heros. Was on Numbani and wrapped around to climb the stairs, someone was waiting inside and charged out even though we were not level since I backed up he somehow made contact with me and I died instantly. He's much more obnoxious than anything else has been in the game.
My Tracer trash talk amounts to...
Step 1: score what I believe will be PotG/otherwise wipe half a team or more.
Step 2: as they return from spawn, blink through their ranks chirping "ooh, scary!"

it was sarcasm lol, especially bc defense/offense is mostly meaningless anyway
