Overwatch |OT10| That'll do pig, that'll do

I know, but I actually LIKE the base overwatch game and how it's objective based. I just wish I didn't have to play it with other people.
Besides, I'm not sure how I'm supposed to train with certain other characters in Deathmatch. Like Ana. I guess it will improve my mechanical skills, but doesn't she need to learn how to play within a team?
because blizzard doesn't care about the console version
I would just play comp, possibly losing some sr is preferable over the torture of quickplay.
I would 100% agree with this if not for 2 things:
1. Gaining SR is a lot harder than losing it
2. Even if not, it feels like a dick move to practice a hero your unfamiliar because you're not just losing SR, your whole team is. One bad player can cost the entire game and it feels selfish and unfair to go in with a "I'm getting mine, fuck y'all" attitude.

Just now I had a game I was winning until someone switched to bastion and threw the game. No reason at all. Went from 3075 to 2850 in one day cause of cunts like this.

The timing of this

Most random Reinhardt players I come across are pure ass.
Why are you standing at the choke at full health with your shield up while the rest of the team is fighting on the point.
WHAT ARE YOU ACCOMPLISHING?!

I had a match a couple weeks ago where I was playing Zarya and I had grab up. I check with my team as we are respawning to see who I could sync my ultimate with and the Solider on my team has his up.
What does the Solider do? He sprints ahead of me and uses his ultimate and dies pretty much instantly. What did I do in life to deserve to play with this kind of stupidity in Overwatch?

Influx of new players into a big brewing pot of toxicity.

is this when they drop the mercy changes? i hope so.
aren't they locked out from rank anyways? if they are new they still have to get to lvl 25 (if rank isn't locked)
i rather duo if they are 500sr apart. not rank or 2 or so apart.

Blizzard's community has been toxic since day 1 though.

To be honest, I don't think it got toxic till Competitive was put in the game. I don't remember people getting triggered over hero picks when it was only Quick play. I may be an outlier though. Competitive has been toxic since Day 1 for sure.
Sure, if he doesn't open up on support and if you're speaking purely in a vacuum. Otherwise, he can open up with Swift Strike+melee, pop his ult, re-Swift Strike. Now granted I'm being salty, but he's such a cheap encounter for Zen and yes there are ways to mitigate dealing with him, using cover, baiting him towards allies, baiting deflect, etc, it's not one bit enjoyable though and I'll just echo this sentiment:
And sure Blizzard could re-kit the less viable heroes, but they have weird ideas about that and I hate mobile get out of jail free bullshit and Genji's is right up there with Winston's while having a much smaller hitbox.
i agree with this only because i play on console where if I'm not the main one shooting at him he wont die because no one can hit him. Ditto for Tracer but that is manageable at least
Why would you combo zarya's ult with soldier's ult? You do more damage by just headshotting whatever is in grav.
Sure, we can drop Genji down to 150 HP. But can we bring his shuriken damage back up and make his Swift Strike do 80 damage again?
Ewwwww.

for the most part his maneuverability had even less problems with stuff like junkrat his along with his damage lightly higher and ult was 2-3 seconds longer
the hog thing was basically them taking and not actually giving him anything in return until the health stuff

P sure like a tiny forwards movement after a boop will put genji back in blade range, it's really long
Yeah, I couldn't believe it myself that Genji had the same health pool as Tracer (among other things) during the games beta. It makes me wonder if most of the pro players would be fine if the development team would revert back to those changes for Genji.
And we all know what happened. He's a useless lump now.

Maybe 180 health for Genji but even I as an rather outspoken "fuck Genji" player think that 150 would be too low for him.
A lot of my gripes with Genji come from a bunch of small things piled on top of one another so health was never really something I thought about.

I finally won me a deathmatch with Orisa, her tool set catches a number of folks off guard.

I think Genji is fine on PC where you actually have some precision with aiming, so you can flash/helix around deflect. On console there's none of that you'll have a harder time against him.
I am all for 150 health on console because of that.

I would be fine if they just got rid of all the babying they do for Genji. Smaller reflect hitbox, losing ult if you die during its start-up, needing to do more than just tap a person to reset dash if they end up dying.
Or keep all that and just give the fool normal movement speed.

Is he in my face?
Or on my head?
Maybe behind me now?
Oh, now he went behind that wall...see you soon, Genji, in another disorienting encounter.

You can wait for deflect to run out, but as soon as you do any decent Genji will just dash, melee you to death or jump, dash out of there.
Maybe I am missing something.
It blocks bullets. I know because I once used it on a molten core turret and survived fine.

I don't think Genji is a problem as unlike most characters, there's multiple direct, easy-to-play counters to him in the form of Mei, Winston and Zarya.
Hehe, touché.

His reloading is so much faster during his Ultimate. It's worth using during it.

It started creeping in on it's own after a while. Around the time people started getting their first prestige stars. I remember the first time I got mega flamed by this McCree because I was struggling a bit on Widow. He was one of those 20 eliminations 19 fan the hammer McCrees that never left clicked on anybody back when McCree was a "combo" hero. He roasted me for having like a 100 hours on the game and bein bad. At that time I was splitting all my hero usage evenly and only had a few hours on everybody. He on the other hand had 80 hours but put 40 on McCree and the other on genji and never touched anybody else. Sometimes I wonder what happened to that dude after the fan the hammer change.
Oh no baby what is you doin.
Drop Genji down to 150hp??? That would make him the worst hero in the game.
Rickenslacker man... lmao
I'm one of the few that champions that combo. I've seen it happen in top 500 so there is definitely merit to it.

I agree with Winston and Zarya, but I don't know about Mei. She's far from a counter to Genji. If anything, a Genji player with half a brain knows how to deal with a Mei player.

3-2 today. made it to season high at 2765. but finished the night at 2745.
also. i turned down the wrong aim setting. LOL should have read it again. i was turning off aim ease instead of aim smoothing.

Why do ana's keep nanoboosting me as D.Va?
The extra damage is appreciated, but it makes me a huge target and I don't exactly have a lot of range/options (yet) and I could be DMing the team.
On the other hand, I know I said it yesterday, but it bears repeating:
IF YOU ARE USING DUAL ZONE TURN OFF AIMSMOOTHING!
IT WILL FREE YOU
