I would agree except every YouTuber who's been preaching that have had the worst Comp games this season in solo Q. Even Stylosa who's like the most positive dude made several videos recently ranting about how awful Comp has been for him. Like how some dudes literally threw the game by dancing through the entire match.

Yea I saw those Stylosa videos as well, hopefully that part of it gets better somehow, like the throwers just get bored and quit entirely

Two comp games, two leavers, lulz.
That's now 12 out of my last 14 games with a leaver and a forced loss.
No amount of positivity or friendly talk can fix that.

Nah, he's better than he's ever been.
No, they buffed him. His own grenades and rip-tire don't damage him anymore.
Yup, as an Ult battery.
I've solo q'd 90% of my comp matches, it has got progressively worse every season. No amount of talking nice is going to stop people from throwing if that's what they intend on doing.
Do you use mic often in solo Q? I don't recall hearing you talk much when we grouped up.

Are you jumping with it? That reduces its damage by 200.
I always use my mic, but the chances of even three people being in team chat is slim. A large number of people with the odd exceptions will pick whatever they want and two fingers to their team.
Had someone on my team yesterday that dropped down 600SR thanks to throwing games as Torb.

Deprive them of that free ult. Next level thinking.

This combo gave me a chuckle.
Just like how I react when Hog hooks me as a squishy now.

Charlet takes you to meet and thank the Overwatch team!
Pretty sure this was it. I'm sure people kept their expectations in check though, right?
Holy shit at the

Atleast his hook pulls people closer so they can kill you faster, speeding up the process of going back to spawn and changing characters.
If Kaplan saying 'gg ez' doesn't show up in a Dinoflask video I'll be thoroughly disappointed
Yup. Mercy mains everywhere.
I feel like Mercy mains are bitter and trying to take their frustration out on everyone now lol
Season 2 and 3 gold and plat players are suddenly top 500 with 45% win rates because they one trick Mercy. The best part is that they literally can't play any other character! So if you have two one trick Mercys on your team it's an automatic lose.
The quality of games has gone down significantly as well. Every third game there is a troll or thrower.
After bitching about the toxicity of Comp yesterday, I jumped in last night again ready to mute everything at the first sign of it, and ended up playing with nice players all night, who stayed friendly or silent even while suffering crushing defeat. Comp is so unpredictable.
But yeah, moving forward I'm just going to play what I want to play and silence the people who are even a tiny bit mean even if that voicechat isolation costs us the match

My biggest problem with them is like when you get two or more of them on your team or they're clearly getting dived all game. Mercy is really only good for her ult and if you can't get any ults off, you're not really helping. With dive being as strong as it is now, protecting them won't really do much against a winston+genji+tracer a lot of times.

Two man groups and one locks Mercy are the worst.
Ignore a 3 man Rez then blow it Rezzing just their friend, probably hanzo or Genji, friend get healed first when at 90% while main tank is at 10%. Probably switch to gun if friend dies and no Rez ready.

Maybe this is the equivalent of Valve putting files named HL3 inside the DOTA 2 updates.
Holy shit
You all go too far. This is what drives Mercy mains to only heal their friends, the world doesn't deserve more heroes.

Jesus fuckin christ, a 3000sr swing between seasons seems impossible.

Kill me. I'd just lock mercy before they do and check everyone's stat. And then watch them play something lol
Was in my First game today. 2 Mercy mains
Blizz plz
10 games - 2 games with a leaver/ forced loss. I feel you.
I am Mercy/Zen/Rein "main" since season 1. My duo-q partner picks Lucio most of the time. Works like a charm in Plat-Dia.
Yup, solo qua is uncharacteristically awful this season. Definitely lost 15 games in a row over the course of 3 days. Taking a break after 3 losses...

I don't understand the Mercy thing, can someone explain it briefly?

Well, at least my experience with comp this season isn't an isolated experience. Sucks that it seems to be a problem all across the board. How do you fix that? Outside of better reporting and following up on that reporting.
update to the how good does seagull think roadhog is because that's actually how good he is
he said he sucks today

I went 2-3, hitting my all time SR high at 2163 as Orisa, DVa, and Winston, but feel I'm hitting a wall here.
Could someone review my losses to give some tips on what needs the most work? I know I don't communicate much here but I didn't know what to say that wouldn't just be toxic complaining. I think I even once typed about medals but deleted it knowing that it's a dumb excuse for a loss.

i hate mercy mains too, probably more than every single one of you combined, but that person played only 6 hours worth of games in the bronze season, and it was their first season ever, unless im misreading whats on the screen

Easy to climb in rank with her
The main offensive ones are the ones that has res and tell team to die on point rather than fight on point just to get their dick off with a huge res

Played my first match in Comp since the Roadhog nerf last night. Its such a strange experience watching Healers and DPS getting pulled in by his hook and surviving now.
Enemy team had a Roadhog on Offense on Volskaya, we utterly obliterated them and held them at 0% capture.

you can rank up even if you lose or something?
