Didn't notice the new thread.
Still in the wall of shame, well at least I'm at the bottom.

im in the 1st percentile for rein elims, earth shatter kills, fire strike kills, dmg blocked and dmg dealt LOL
Yes and no. You will have to do placements again for season 4, but it will most likely place you around where you end this season since it takes the previous seasons performance into account

Attack Torb, saving the day in QP! Nothing stops this train!
Just checked Overbuff, it's not showing me my comp stats
For whatever reason Overbuff doesn't update competitve stats for new accounts unless you tweet them your battle.net tag. I had to do this for it to update.
Here's a thread on it: https://us.battle.net/forums/en/overwatch/topic/20752595708

I know QP is just for fun, but I don't understand what's fun about wasting 5 minutes of your life with 0 elims and getting out-DPS'd by the supports.

I wonder if this will back fill or not.
Like, are they recording the data now and just not showing it, or is it just going to be forever lost.

If you play healer in less than 10% of your matches and there's no healer on your team on ps4 you should have to button through a dozen prompts at each spawn telling you that healers are important to winning the game.

what if im not good at healers
Play Soldier: 76, as he works great as an off-healer.

i tried
your healing should be higher. for mines is almost 9k
How are people playing support ranking up on SQ? I play 4-5 games a day and it seems like it's just a never ending cycle of 1-2 great games and then 3 games where it's either shit DPS or players trolling. I play Ana/Lucio most of the time, and I can sit there healing my ass off, even pick Phara's off for Soldiers who can't seem to take a second to do that but there isn't much you can do with a Hanzo that keeps feeding.

Ah my bad, just got off for the nightStill waiting to play with ya
Also I hate per game stats because of hero switching, I prefer looking at per life stats.
Yeah I'm seeing Widows being picked more these last couple of days and they're not that bad.
Nah. Just Blizz Balancing.
"Oh no, character is a little weak! Overbuff!!!!"

Gotta love those games where you let a 3-man group convince you to swap off your Zarya main so their buddy can play her because "he's a former top 500 Zarya whos has ranked down to play with us", even though his Zarya stats are way worse than my own.
Fair enough, I go Zen to heal. The team gets steamrolled on Route 66 Defense because when I'm not being focused by Soldier, D.Va is diving me. I get no cover whatsoever from the team so I spend most of the round dead. Of course, the 3-man team is a bunch of whiny bitches that start complaining about no heals or transcendence like i was going to blow my ult to continue their trickling.
Switch to Lucio on Attack and we successfully push to the end to extend the match. Pretty telling was the Mercy on our Defense comp who then switched to Zenyatta in my place on Attack and immediately gets repeatedly spanked by the enemy D.Va. This was outlined to the team by the statement in team chat when he said "Holy shit! that D.Va is fucking me up!"
When we attack again we can barely get the payload around the first corner which was pretty pitiful.
On Defense, we go a Bastion/Rein strat to hold before the corner thanks to our poor second Attack round. I'm still Lucio, keeping the Mercy alive and booping flankers off the cliff but eventually Bastion gets bombed by Tracer who then kills our Mercy. Game Over at that point.
I check my stats today and, although I'm not a fan of Master Overwatch, it painted a pretty telling picture of team performance:
I think when you're working your ass off putting out over 2600 healing per minute keeping your team alive, either there is massive damage coming in or the whiny bitches who berated you have no clue about how to avoid taking unnecessary damage around the payload, let alone providing supporting their healers.
I've got plenty to work on to improve my game. e.g. I have really high stats for barriers and damage absorbed as Zarya but my average energy these days is only 30%. I still get a lot of elims and put out a lot of damage per match but I'm working on my bubble timing to see if improving my energy generation will improve my overall performance.
But, with my winrate steadily dropping from almost 60% to just 51% despite working to improve my own individual performance, its getting harder for me to avoid blaming teammates. Whether its cluelessness (trickling, no focus fire, no healer support), arrogance (think they are carrying when they really arent), or general incompetence (long range Rein charges, Zen's too busy DPS'ing to harmony orb the high charge Zarya keeping them alive), it all results in poor team cohesion and a frustrating experience where you're never sure whether the problem is you or the team.
This is all from solo queue at Diamond rank, +/- 200 SR. Ah well, maybe taking a break from comp tonight could be a good way to give the frustration a chance to dissipate a little before the weekend...

It's a goddamn carnival healing in solo comp queue. Doesn't matter if you're even in the 90th percentile on overbuff, if your team is getting steam rolled cause of whatever they're doing you won't be able to keep them alive no matter how much healing you're outputting never mind if you start getting picked cause they can't help cover your ass.
It's so bad in Korea that a lot of their players just come over and use NA servers even with the ping. I don't know how they deal with it watching some of these streams of the top NA players who go over to Korea servers sometimes.
Overbuff divided by 0
What program do you guys use to cut up images from webpages like this? Sry for the noob question.

I'm so tired of braindead teammates that just go one by one, especially when they pick something like Winston or Hog and just feed the enemies ult.
And it's also an magnificent idea to go right to the open space in the garden map (lijiang tower) when they know that the enemy team has a Pharah. Fucking brilliant.

Comp was shit tonight. I played one solo queue after you guys left and it was even worse than our games.
This whole season just seems like a mess to be honest.

In the first game tonight on Oasis me and Owzers had 2 masters on our team, former top 500 this season. One of them picked Winston/Roadhog and just went by himself over and over getting picked, clearly throwing the game. Sums up the night.
After saying group up and going in alone anyways...

A Sombra is absolutely destroying Harbleu and Emongg. Holy shit.
Snipping Tool, if you use windows it should probably already be installed?
These are my most played in comp this season
Ya, Codey is the #1 Sombra. He's also a pretty solid Widowmaker.
LOL ND, you mean to tell me the games you played later with Owzers and VD were much worse than ours? Jesus... I didnt think it was possible ours were pretty terrrible haha
So we're attacking first on King's Row. Everything is going swimmingly, and we make a great push pass the pub, and in our haste, leave the payload behind until someone exclaims on the mic: "Hey guys don't forget about the payload!"
We end up falling just short of completing the map thanks to some Torb/Bastion cheese, and get stomped on during defense after the holding the first point until they cap it in overtime (admittedly I stubbornly stayed on Sym and got a Shield Generator up instead of swapping to another healer since we only had a Mercy but by the time I did it was too late).
The kicker? That was the only time anyone on our team ever used a mic, and there was at least half our team in the team channel.
I really hate this game sometimes.
