Man, I can't play low sensitvity. I don't know if it's just because my desk is too high for my chair or what but it just feels like pushing through mud and only ever useful if I'm always aiming forward. Which I'm not.
I had a Genji ult that I would've killed 4 dudes with but because I was struggling so hard to keep up with where the enemy was, I got like 2 and died.

Good Genjis don't really want heals. They just want enough competence in terms of offensive output to not be facing a wall of focused defenders no matter what direction a flank comes from.

when you've got roadhogs and D.VA's breaking rank TOGETHER to chase you and your team isn't making any kind of progress on the objective despite that--that's the shit i'm talking about
my widowmaker was putting in gods work today though...might go back to bae but still get the same problems
"why are you widowmaker?" - them
"why do I have three gold medals?" - me
sweartagahd
I wonder if it's going to work like the Crusader's Crossbow in TF2.
They fixed Mercy's bug in the latest patch. Thank goodness. That shit was hella annoying to deal with.

it really is time to put everyones dirty laundry out on the table
seemed like a good idea the first month when it was all happy and go lucky and "winning...it's all that matters!", but it's getting to the point now where I'm not being given enough info to understand whats going on and how to make decisions as the game is going on
right now its just "Team comp seems gud...wtf is happening" , except your tracer has 1k damage output and your symm can't get an ult up to save her life
just put it all out there--im tryna see how ass you really are as the game is going on so I can respond as needed

this fucking bastion had the nerve to hop on the mic and tell me that i need to damage boost him
MOTHERFUCK

By Rob Go To Postgot ranked 53. is that good?To use some LoL parlance:
Master/Challenger: 70s
Diamond: 60s
Platinum: 50s
Gold: 40s
Silver & bronze: don't give a fuck.
This is just an extremely rough estimation going off of who I have played with/against and see on streams in NA. It is probably wrong.
Regardless, it will take roughly 500-1000 ranked games in a system like this to accurately say what your "true" skill level is.
how much does winning take into account? do I prioritize going with whatever comp my team needs or whatever I personally play best regardless of outcome for dat sweet sweet rank
By Dark PhaZe Go To Posthow much does winning take into account? do I prioritize going with whatever comp my team needs or whatever I personally play best regardless of outcome for dat sweet sweet rankwinning matters but play your best character. if its not working then switch to whatever the team needs
dont be that shitty reinhardt that charges across the map hoping for a pin because the game said no tanks
By Dark PhaZe Go To Posthow much does winning take into account? do I prioritize going with whatever comp my team needs or whatever I personally play best regardless of outcome for dat sweet sweet rankIf you don't win, you lose rank, iirc. So, yeah, go win. Performing well while winning is a noticeable boost, but you can't move up ranks if you aren't winning.
By Dark PhaZe Go To PostehThere isn't a good way to really judge how much every player's performance contributes to a win. If they used certain stats, then players would game those stats in order to go up ranks. At least this way, they have to play to win to go up instead of just stat padding.
i mean shit, its such a team oriented game, kinda wak
reward my gameplay blizz
the other team is just as bad and random as yours since you're all the same rank.
its not like seagull is gonna be on the opposing team of your matches

By Rob Go To Postthe other team is just as bad and random as yours since you're all the same rank.Pretty much. The random disparity in relative skill levels you may experience is why you have to play so many damn games for your ranking to settle at it's "proper" level. It basically ensures that you were on the winning side of stacked teams as much as you were on the losing side. It's your job to do enough to win games when teams are relatively even.

lol played with a friend who was ranked 41, so it puts me against 46-48s. one guy instantly types "wow stacked team. level 54"
we end up stomping them on numbani and they complain about Zarya being the easiest character to use even though they had a Zarya as well and did nothing

After I get through the 48hr film fest this weekend, I need to jump back into competitive. I've only had like 20 or so wins (I think...probably less), and a lot of them were in solo. lol.
My Mercy has gotten a fair bit better since my placement rounds.

every team i've had has been fucking horrendous.
It's AMAZING how often people don't look behind them
Like. Flat out amazing.

just had a 60 elmination game derank on competitive loss on escort where we got to the objective TWICE as fast and then only got like an effing minute in the over time as the attackers---took us time to take out the turrets but no sudden death
EFFING BULLSHIT
DERANK ON 60 KILLS bREHS

This to the endless power.
And there's literally no excuse for it even if you never played an FPS considering the sound design in this game where enemy footsteps are so much louder than allies.
By Gabyskra Go To PostDo people actually use their mics in competitive?If they do i mute them.
Most people think i want to listen to them like we're friends at the pub.
because 12 year olds on CoD in 2007 ruined online games everyone. literally no one using game chat anymore but peoples excuse is always "i dont want to hear 12 year olds calling me a nigger"
It's really disappointing. On CS and DoD, there are trolls of course, but you get a super fun game here and then because of teamwork.
By Tea Go To PostIt's still pretty shit if you're not a dude talking over the mic too.God, it's so bad. Impossible for women, a million homophobic and racist insults, etc.
My groups talk a lot. :(
We sometimes even drop into the team audio channel in competitive if we aren't a full 6-man! I haven't played in a few days, though. Been playing with my new TV too much. Waiting for a receiver and multiple cables (HDMI 2.0A, CAT6, and others) to arrive this coming week so I can have everything hooked up properly without any tech bottlenecks.

Women would be the only people I'm okay with not using their mics since games turn to shit. Had a CS match where in warmup a person quit saying "great, i have a girl on my team. we already lost" and abandoned. Another match this kid was constantly shitting on a teammate, then she spoke and he completely changed his tone and basically begged to be added to her friendlist
did a really synced up ultra push on attack on hanamura
everyone waited for ults to get up and sat behind Reinhardt at the open door to the second (last) point to take, lucio rocked his ult and we pushed in, reinhardt rocked everyone to the ground, we damaged them/killed, then zarya got the leftovers together and nearly took everyone out until some enemy used his ult to squash a lot of us, then our mercy ressed and I finished anyone else off with my reaper ult
i guess TLDR version is combined ults on control points = captures, seems like a no brainer but I see it so rarely that I feel a bit foolish right now

Yea the time my team has done it/had it done to us is absolutely devastating, it's super rewarding when you pull it off. Had a similar situation at the end of Kings Row on payload. All though it is crazy how hectic shit gets when attackers and defenders do it at the same time, pure chaos.
