Ihate that shit if youre in the middle of two reins ahh
Eh, they really did push KDU who is a top 5 team. If they had played like that vs AFB they would easily be in playoffs.

Not sure if should watch next match, Fnatic are boring but Hacksal hmmm
But they didn't because they're bottle jobs atm.
My comment is just in general anyway. They have very little impact in the pro scene even though they're a talented squad. Seems like a mentality thing for them.
I think it'll bw at least interesting. I gotta watch the ceremony after the match anyways because it's going to be super fun.

Not a bad performance from C9. I expected them to get 3-0d tbh. Choked on Eichenwalde though.

Sweet that's actually pretty interesting.
On a side note, does anybody know if there a patch hitting XBO and PS4 today?
Tuesday is designated patch day.

D. Va is pretty interesting, kinda lines up with what I've seen of the lower tiers. Honestly I'm surprised the variance isn't that high on some characters, seems bronze players are somewhat aware of the tiers but tend to avoid the more skill intensive and team based characters like Zarya and Ana.

Winston hipster for life here.
My Sombra EMP gif is a reddit hit
This one I assume?
I tried sombra out yesterday and actually did decent. Was doing off season as Ana with 5 dps and lost first 2 rounds of illios since 5 dps and I somehow had silver elims with 8 after 2 rounds. Switched to Sombra and we almost won. She's pretty fun.
I've only ever had one reddit hit. Only posted once so 100% rate yay. Was on Civ v though which isn't as popular
600 upvotes though which made it the top post of the day FiveSix4Three

He's really fun to play. Had a stretch of 4 potg last night with him. Its fun to smash into a zarya orb.

If only I had a chrono accelerator to control it.
I like this data more than the weekly competitive charts. Gives a better idea of how the "common" man is playing versus who the pros are using. Poor Sombra.
Poor defense chars.

Do folks here go for the 3 arcade lootboxes every week? I generally do but I find most of the arcade modes a drag. I only play 3v3 or random heroes. Random heroes is sometimes super frustrating due to the lack of agency.
Apex Round 2 draws are finished. Each group is double elim bracket, top 2 of those brackets will go on to the top 4 finals single elim bracket. The top seeds decided their groups and match ups based on a random draw order.
Group A:
Lunatic Hai(1) vs EnVyUs
Kongdoo Uncia(3) vs Runaway
Group B:
Meta Athena(2) vs Afreeca Freecs Blue
Kongdoo Panthera(4) vs Luxury Watch Blue
Matches will start on 3/3 (Friday)
EnVyUs was the most desired team to play against in playoffs lol

Yeah - although it's surprising that with all the complaining people do about Hanzo/Widowmaker, they don't seem to be a huge percentage of picks in competitive. Guess that's more a QP thing.
Related to stats - I wonder if Blizzard will ever make stats available by map. I'd personally like to know my win-loss record on specific maps, as well as whether I do better on Attack or Defense.

Offense characters other than Soldier aren't much better off though. I wonder why.

i've been playing mystery heroes a lot lately and i actually like that the team comps can get very stupid. yeah sometimes you get screwed over big time but i just enjoy the insanity of it all. i don't feel stressed at a loss because there was never a competitive aspect of that mode for me- I'm just there to experience what's possible in Overwatch
I'm with you. It's the perfect opportunity for some no-stakes fun.

What's wrong with junkrat?
Look how much people complain about Widow and imagine if she had the same pick rate as say Soldier76 or hell even Pharah. The game would be unplayable if Widowmakers were that popular. She gets outsized complaints because her ability to one shot is that devastating and it's much more annoying issue in comp as no one cares that much in QP.
Note this data consists of all of S3, including pre D.Va/Ana nerfs.
I haven't been seeing a lot of Soldier at APEX which is pretty good. McCree is obviously still the king vs all the Genjis/Tracers flying about. Also seeing a healthy amount of Winston on maps with good verticality.
Maybe it's a bit anecdotal though as I haven't watched it as carefully as others.

Tracer is pretty worth tho.
