The rage and salt is real.
Lost about 8 games out of 12 I think.
90% off those are because of Hanzo & widow meta.
Sure you can get 12/1 or something else but it means fock all when we lose after 8 mins of being stuck at B because it's 4v6.
As of now I'll avoid any instalock Hanzo/Widow for the future but apparently it only counts the current play session.
I think I need a break for a couple hours.

Hanzo is pretty annoying. At least Widow takes a higher level of skill. Spamzo just rapid fires arrows and unleashes his ult down choke points every 30 seconds.
By Lupercal Go To PostI hate playing with randoms during the day, no one of the friendslist is online :(I've contemplated uninstalling the game because of this. Played the other day and I was miserable, last game got matched up with two trolls that insisted on "only healing good players" and by that they meant the Reinhardt. Switched to Symmetra bc I didn't give a shit if we won or lost and we somehow won because I kept placing teleporters behind enemy lines and annoying the hell out of their snipers/tracer
By Jeff-DSA Go To PostHanzo is pretty annoying. At least Widow takes a higher level of skill. Spamzo just rapid fires arrows and unleashes his ult down choke points every 30 seconds.Yeah indeed, decreasing the hit boxes will do wonders for it. Maybe even reduce that scatter arrow dmg.
By Lupercal Go To PostDownloading a 100 mb update it seems.Supposedly, people were using it to avoid people who wrecked their shit. This resulted in the avoided person having longer queue times until the game expanded the parameters for lower skill levels where he wrecked people even harder and the cycle continued.
They've taken out avoid a player?
By Dark PhaZe Go To PostSorry to bail yesterday kibner. Haven't played in a while and felt I was doing more harm than goodDon't worry about that, man. Would love for you to talk more!
Going through a bit of a rough patch while grouping with some newbies, anyway. :)

You left during that anubis round! lmao.
We actually came back and won, so that was nice though. I think I got 15 kills with Mercy that round. lol.
Haha, nice! I was having beaucoup connection issues last night and dropped out of three or four games. It was annoying.
Bastion and Torbjorn play of the games are always the worst. They need to tweak it to somehow get those supports some love.

But it's basically "if you res 4 or more you get POTG" instead of an insane healing sequence where you keep a whole team alive when they should have died.
I haven't got one yet as lucio.
By giririsss Go To Posti've had a few lately as Mercy.A buddy just got a Lucio PotG by knocking 3 people off a ledge with a single right-click.

By DY_nasty Go To Posti just got voted legendary with mercy ;_;
I was one away earlier, but somebody was being a hater. :(

my proudest moment was a symm legendary vote. felt so bold after that i played attack symm for the next 3 games straight.
By DY_nasty Go To Postyo my bad psy, connection cut outNp, prolly won'ts be able to play for awhile, R2 trigger just broke while playing 2K
I haven't played in awhile amd read either on reddit or gaf people complaining about Torb stacks.
Ran into one earlier, they got shut down so fast I'm not understand how anyone can complain about a Torb stack.
I was using Zarya and they just kept feeding me energy

People complaining don't know/care to counter and just cry nerf.
That said, on console it might be a bit harder though but still doable.
By Lupercal Go To PostPeople complaining don't know/care to counter and just cry nerf.Pretty much. In general, people are reluctant to change from their favorite characters. If they do switch, there won't be much time left to actually win the point. The general public will probably complain about any strat they can't quickly find a solution to.
That said, on console it might be a bit harder though but still doable.
My team massed Winston when going up against a bunch of Torbs and Symettras. I imagine a bunch of Soldiers or Pharrahs would also work well.
I'm actually glad to see Torbjorn nerfed for consoles. I don't think the damage was the issue so much as the fact that the range and snap of the turret was just too much at times. Maybe even a cooldown on turret death or something....
but the numbers were there - torb's k/d and winrate on consoles was ridiculous, and if you've been following the game since its early stages - its nice to see that blizzard isn't suddenly scared to make an adjustment post-release.
I don't necessarily like the 30% damage reduction on turrets, but a nerf definitely kinda needed to happen.

yea kotaku reported that torbjorn is only getting nerfed on consoles, blizzard even said it themselves since they know it's basically different games thanks to m/kb vs controller
was E+RMB Hero only a problem on PC or did he get nerfed on consoles as well?

the nerfs to widowmaker and mcree were universal
i actually love the widowmaker nerf in retrospect. if you're good with her, you're still good - if anything it just made her more rewarding to play as.
mcree melting tanks had to die and i'm glad it did
edit: clarification, its COMING - not in yet

The answer to breaking most setups is grouping up and stop running in 1 by 1.
The amount of times this happens for 5 minutes straight only to watch the whole round go by...... ugh.
Or picking Widow on a KOTH map.... and never standing anywhere near the point.

By Dark PhaZe Go To PostAnswer to breaking most setups is more pharrah3 torbs on something like hollywood or anubis is some other shit
By DY_nasty Go To Post3 torbs on something like hollywood or anubis is some other shitA junkrat fucks torb up. It's out of LOS and you can pump some serious damage out with a full clip of grenades.
I've not seen the Torb Stack strat work on PC.
By giririsss Go To PostA junkrat fucks torb up. It's out of LOS and you can pump some serious damage out with a full clip of grenades.Yup, it was fun in the beginning though, taking 6 Tombs but know it's an automatic loss.

6 Soldiers oth is a wrecking ball.

Finally have a semi-decent grasp on Tracer. Had a game earlier where I got 30+Eliminations and like 2 deaths (17 killstreak, iirc). My 1v1 against Tracer needs a little work though. Shit looks like
Now, all I have to do is work on not blinking off of the damn map. :(
Kibner and the rest are def ready for competitive mode...

pretty much exactly what I'm talking about with Pharrah--look at the enemy roster--when Soldier is the only hero on your team that even has a prayer of touching her then you've got big problems. And to see a competitive team not counter that is crazy to see.

And to see a competitive team not counter that is crazy to see.Yup, it is something that me and my crew have been chastising each other for not adapting quick enough to. I can't wait for competitive mode to come out.
On a side note, I love introducing new people to the game (because it is fun and more people = more fun) but man, I can't carry a team of them to victory. I even get five gold medals and it still ends up as a decisive loss.
That's the one monster that the Widow nerf created. Pharah with a pocket Mercy is a force of nature. PharMercy is very real.
If I'm flying around with Mercy and I managed to get clipped, whatever. I probably have Rez, and you're taking several rockets to the face. The team is still pushing forward with Lucio and Pharah is still controlling the skies.
It's kind of ridiculous that her only natural counters are a "good" Widowmaker, a "good" McCree (depending on range), and Soldier 76. Soldier is the only one out of the three that's "guaranteed" to get the kill. The other two require actual skill to kill her. lol.
That happened to me. FeelsBadMan. :(
edit: Seems like Widow is getting nerfed again. Looks like her ultimate call-out is going to be global. Now it's a zoning tool, instead of free kills. lol (or nah?)

Yea, Phar Mercy is a great combo. Gives Mercy so many more options to dive out of fights and paired with a good Pharrah she'll be dishing out tons of damage. Jump down and use ult's to res on certain pushes but other than that being a general healing is not the best use of her imo.
is your competitive team fully decked kib?

A really good Roadhog can pluck Pharrah's out of the sky! But, yeah, another highly skill-based counter.
Phaze, there are no set members or anything for my team. It's just a collection of friends from another forum and we rotate in and out as people are available. The only guy that I will most definitely be playing with is Sm0ke and maybe Tenrou. If you want a list of all the non-SLAENT people I group with, check the OP of this thread: http://www.teamplayergaming.com/overwatch/126750-whos.html
I think I've played with all but three people on that list. It's a pretty varying skill level, especially with the newer ones, but most people communicate through their mics and try to work together as a team (especially if someone speaks up about a plan). Me, Smoke, and Tenrou can get heated over voice sometimes, but nothing personal. Just want to win and get frustrated if people aren't working as well together as they should.

Maaaan, trying to break through on Offense in Route 66 is a real pain with randoms.
The opposing team is great with Mercy, Bastion, Reinhardt and Pharah Magic.
And here I am sitting alone with Zarya while W&H try and snipe from spawn and when we eventually do break through and get a checkpoint, we get a third sniper.
Think I'm done playing with no frienss on, just a waste of time.
