the couple that plays together stays together, aww!
i think it's 1000 from Diamond down, but once you hit Master (and GM) it's 500.

I'd have to check their names. It was a diamond 3400 with his 2400 gold girlfriend, she was the most toxic person I have ever heard on Overwatch.

I meant which characters did you play?

Sorry, I misunderstood.
Depends on the situation - Lucio, Zenyatta, Roadhog, Zarya, McCree, Soldier. Those are my most confident.
Sounds good, I'll add you when I get home, I'll be the Pancake one.

Yeah, GG! There were some killer moments, especially that Anubis map! The 2 losses were strange, especially the one where they auto-locked Tracer and Junkrat and then proceeded to do ????
I'm starting to wonder if it's a better idea in those situations to just ignore needing healers/tanks and just play whatever everyone is best at. That way, you can at least stall them and create moments for them to step up. Like, if 2 people are playing DPS badly, it doesn't matter how much presence we have on the point if no one on their side is dying.
That 3-3 strat is super fun. It feels like the match is wall-to-wall nonstop action.

Oh ok. Thank you for that. Much appreciated.
when i don't sign up for Rein right away, i like picking last sometimes and if it's me and another person waiting, seeing who caves to pick a healer
It's like chicken!
I just had 4, yes 4 games in a row where people left within the first 30 second and the match was cancelled. Not a loss, but seriously, fuck this, if you can't play for 10 mins don't sign up to the match.

It's just best to get good at least six to eight characters that way you have variety when choosing. For me example, I'm good at Repear, Junkrat, D.va, Lucio. I'm working on McCree, Tracer, and I'm still iffy on which other tank I want to use.
Play Lucio and just sorta stick with the team. Don't even try to actively take points or do speed shit. Keep that AOE healing on. If they don't wanna play healer, then let them enjoy being an okay Lucio.
Which is why I instapick my faves all the time.

Saw a Lucio POTG just a few minutes ago. Unfortunately it was me bailing out of my Mek backwards out of a point doorway (bad things were going down in there) and Lucio appearing through the wreckage to boop me off the map. Good times, really fun to watch it happen again after we lost.
Spam at chokepoints or get near them and aim at their heads then punch.
Don't forget to utilize those "booping" opportunities, because it's always hilarious.
So correct me if I'm wrong, but diamond ranked players cannot play with people still doing their placement matches, right?
If so, I'm going to have to tank my SR today (I think I'm hovering around 2750 SR). Me and my two buddies are all going to get together in one room this weekend and have a marathon session to do all their placement matches.
We're also planning on recording it so if you like my videos there's that

To take damage and feed their healer's ult. (Really though, idk.)

honestly wish I could quit her, but this is why I don't. Even when there's an enemy Zarya. LOL
yet, when I play Symm the enemy team stays destroying my beautiful web of death. T__T
You can, and it's annoying as fuck because it makes matching a real bitch for people doing their placements. The game will spend eternity trying to match the party against another party with diamond placed and non-placed players.
Blizz should make it should that people doing placements cannot group with people who've already completed theirs.

When D.Va's going well- knocking snipers off high ground, eating ults and high damage, wiping squishies, making other D.Vas pop DM in a face-to-face- it's great. When the other team focuses you down constantly, and a Reaper is waiting for you before you even finish ejecting, it is soul-withering.

Well the frustrating thing with that control match was that the randoms were on two supports they were just doing it poorly imo. Like Mercy who only healed her friend playing Roadhog (who can self heal for god sake) and Lucio sticking to speed boost even as I was hanging back from the point crit right beside him.
I think you're right though on needing to break from the meta when dps aren't cutting it, it seems better to drop the secondary healer for a third dps in those situations a lot of the time.
Widow does 120 damage with a charged shot, 300 if headshot. Ana does 80 and can't headshot.
How much damage does Widow do if it's not a charged shot?
Yeah, I see that shit happen when I'm healing Reins through a wave of Sym turrets as Mercy. I'm like "No, stop, swing your hammer, how the fuck am I supposed to follow you through this, what are you doing, no rein, sto- *dead*"

It's percentage based upon the 120 figure. So 50% charge = 60 damage, 10% = 12 etc.

WM can do headshots for crit. So she can pretty much destroy any non-tank with a headshot. 120 full charge snipe body shot, 2.5x multiplier on headshots. WM can also shoot machine gun style so she has some close range capability. The mine isn't that great for damage but it's still there.
Ana can't headshot. Any body shot does 80 and it's not immediate. Takes like 0.5 seconds for the whole 80 to register. So if they're near a healer they're much harder to kill. The grenade does do damage but it's more used for it's utility for healing and preventing enemies from healing. The sleep dart does like what...5 damage? It's kinda negligible.
In general a WM should be doing more damage than an Ana in any fight. If Ana is doing more damage than a WM....please switch.
It depends on the percentage of the charged shot, it can go from 12 to 120 (x2.5 on headshot), and 13 when she's in assault mode.

The opposite is crappy as well. I got a placement match with a team of 5, 4 silvers and their buddy they were "helping" to place. They were... not good, and obviously had private group chat going, not team chat. Helpful, especially when they chose all 4 of the Heroes I'm okay with, and I had no idea what they wanted me to pick to supplement their play-style. We lost, shockingly.
Is there anywhere I can see what percentage my charged shot is at?
So let's say I just do a normal shot (12) to the head it won't actually kill the opponent in that one shot, only if my shot had been a bit charged at first?
