40 should be the minimum for ranked
is there a guide for symmetra teleporter spots?

Do you people really believe this?

Roadhog is nearly 50 at least give him liver spots and short grandma hair

Seagull started at 69 in the PTR, he's at 74 right now in the base game
why is weapon accuracy even a recorded stat?

Me and Reaper have a lot in common. We're both Mexican-American and hate monkeys.
Why aren't you playing the glue-sniffing Amerifat?
Also which is better, Mako or Islander skin?
how many people have been afk'd kicked?
i've had it happen once, and i've alt tabbed during a game to change song and i get a warning saying i may get kicked soon

Is there any reason why it's fucking impossible someone to run this game at a consistent fucking framerate that's above 25FPS?
Is there any FUCKING reason why this game's fucking broken and Blizzard will never fix it?

>>146922564
You're both also going to be kicked out after overlord trump wins
Hanzo main here. Can't wait to jump into competitive!
>>146922578
i got afk kicked once before a round even started because i was changing some audio settings in the game's own menus. god help you if you have to take a piss. guess blizzard wants you to bring a bucket
What benefits do you get from having high rank? Do you get more points or something? Don't really feel like tryharding it but if I have to I'd like to know.
>>146922347
I 100% approve
>Roadhog not having monster tits
That's incorrect, however
>Nerf bastion's turn radius while in turret mode to 180 degrees

>>146922465
so i've gotten into 6 sudden death games in 11
i have been defending every time
i lose, every time
a lot of these sudden deaths are coming after we push the payload faster and win faster
this is a fucking mess

You don't
She's dead in seconds as soon as she doesn't have a team around her, or a team clumped around her so she can't fly to safety
She can't keep someone alive against unfettered fire even with direct healing stream
Stop being buttblasted because she countered your team's ult
>>146922790
took a piss and got kicked
even after doing 3 straight (and long) koth maps they expect you to sit through the 4th without doing anything else
heaven forbid youre thirsty during warmup

You get to play against similarly skilled players, which is enough for me
>>146922465
>>146922827
more points after the end of the season
>>146922686
HAHA SUB AVERAGE LOSER
So how does the ranking system work?
Do you just get +1/-1 point every time you win or lose after calibration?
>>146922746
My PC is more than capable of running it in theory, but for some fucked up reason this game just doesn't like it.
Other games run just fine. Not this fucking one.
>>146922753
Im asking how do we fix mei, Not how do we counter genji/tracer.
Does competitive kick you back to the main menu after completing one of the placement matches or is my internet shitty?Gotta say, though, that's the most fun I've had since I bought the game

Alright, overwatch sucks today too. Losing to Tjorbjorn on payload is the worst. I switched to Junkrat and accomplished fuck all because they had everyone on the load. Mei, Rein, Genji, Tjorbjorn, Lucio...
It is so cheesy and I know it is counterable, but fuck, I am not good enough to do it.
Help me out. What are you supposed to do?
why does every ranked match have that one useless reinhardt who refuses to switch
>>146922465
OKAY NIGGERS, HERE'S HOW IT WORKS:
>Competitive mode has officially been released! Yay!
>You must be level 25 in order to access the mode
>You must play TEN (10) placement matches to be given a rating
>You are rated based on your performance COMPARED to everyone else on your team (meaning you could "win" all your matches but if you aren't getting gold medals you won't get an incredible rating)
>A rating over 40 is "average"
>A rating over 50 is "good"
>A rating over 60 is "Great"
>A rating over 70 is "Holy shit, niiiiiiiiiice"
>A rating over 80 is "MLG 420 noscope blaze it YOLO"
>If you don't have a microphone and don't at least call out enemy locations then fuck you
>If you aren't coordinating with your team to counter the enemy team composition then fuck you
>If you autopick Hanzo (in general) then fuck you
Also:

Normally I'd disagree but I'm open to new ideas about the beeps and boops.

Doesn't Quick Play already do this? Or is it more strict or something?
Approx how long does the 10 placement matches take?
>>146922917
I was placed at rank 49, and after my first win I got 50% of the bar to rank up to 50
>>146923027
50 is literally average though
>>146922901
Mercy is such an unbelievably boring and uninteresting character it actually makes me want to kill myself
At least the TF2 medic had the mildest smidgen of personality in that he was an insane sadist, Mercy is just dull as ditchwater
One of my fantasies would be to be in D.va's mech but have her sit on my lap as she drives it
That would be so awesome

She's meant to be Swiss, she's just clearly doing a German accent. Also sometimes an Indian one for some reason. Her English voice actor isn't great.
I just wish she, you know, said or did anything remotely interesting at all, ever? Lucio talks to Bastion in beeps and boops and raves about how awesome music is, Zenyatta constantly spouts bizarre Buddhist platitudes... Mercy just tells everyone that they're very nice and gosh aren't you all just doing so well. She's dull. She's BORING to listen to.

She says the wonders of modern medicine. And she has that line to Reaper.
I am pretty sure she says "no one appreciates my work" in German when she respawns.

You're a fat fucking neet jerking off to a chink bitch
Ice is also melted by salt your fucking retard
so when are they putting in that time bank sudden death

Explain Gold Guns plz.
How exactly does Marcy's damage boost work with Hanzo's ult?
Do I only need to boost when he launches the arrow or the whole time the dragon is visible?
Or maybe until the arrow hits, that wouldn't make a lot of sense though since it already left his bow and stuff

I had such high hopes for competitive pairing me with people at my level, guess its back to quick play
what the actual fuck is wrong with the matchmaking in this game? i literally can't believe how many games i was in for the placement matches where my team did absolutely nothing right and the enemy team was filled with fucking gods
my end result was 49. is that good or bad? i don't even know, i lost like 6 or 7 games because of the piss poor matchmaking. is it based on win/loss or individual performance? if it's just win/loss then i'm gonna be stuck in a hellhole of losing matches for the rest of the god damn season because i can't carry my team

Widowmaker is awfully designed in general. In like every aspect, actually. It's kind of amazing how she's this perfect-storm clusterfuck of awful decisions.
What, precisely, is the counterplay to 'I can see you through walls' supposed to be? There isn't any. You run out and die and then find out that she knew you were there all along. The global callout on her ult is a good change but why didn't she have it from the start?
Why is her poison mine such utterly, hilariously worthless garbage?
Why is there no punishment whatsoever for just going 'oh fuck it' and repeatedly bodyshotting everyone instead of aiming because you have a 30 round fucking sniper rifle clip that charges to max strength in about a second and a half?
Why is her assault rifle basically as good as 76's, just without the rocket launcher?
Why does she get to do everything Hanzo does but better apart from his ult?
Why is she the only character in the game who's FUCKING PURPLE? 76 isn't fucking purple and he basically died and got brought back. Why is she purple? WHY ARE YOU PURPLE

Yes anon, you're the star player just like everyone in this thread, what are the odds!
Give me ONE (1) legitimate reason why gold weapons aren't just australium weapons from TF2?
>>146923937
i also thought somehow competitive would have more integrity
nope, still rife with the same bugs the rest of overwatch has
>Play support because nobody else is
>Out of the FOUR damage dealers we have, none of them can kill anybody.
If you aren't going to be good at the left-y click-y, let ME fucking do it, and you play the heal deal.
>>146923894
You can boost afterwards and still increase the damage
i had better teammates in quick play
what gives
>>146923860
Just like gold heroes in Hearthstone. First Blizz game ?
>>146923895
this honestly. how come ive never get carried? but here i am getting 92% of the kills in the match
sometimes i just want to be a mei shitter.
Before I play it does comp have a hero limit?
>>146923970
I hope someone you love and treasure gets shot and their photos get leaked on the internet you shit.
>>146923937
>reditors getting triggered
So do gold weapons actually do anything or are they just for aesthetics? If the latter I might just not even bother with competitive
>>146923937
"""placement matches""" never place you accurately in any game since you'll be put against other unranked players, so the game can't accurately gauge your performance since it doesn't know your enemies' skill, there's a reason everyone is getting placed in the 40-60 range. You'll need to play a lot for it to settle.
>>146923594
Thanks anon. Might hold off on competitive for a while until more worthwhile rewards turn up and Blizz irons out some of the problems with competitive, hopefully...
>>146924052
you're playing your skill level

>>146924096
Is there anything unique in comp regarding composition at all?
>>146923984

>>146924159
wins don't mean anything
it's all about how good you played
someone expain sudden death to me please
I thought this brawl was going to be shit, but after doing it its one of the most entertaining brawls we've had.
This endless flying around chaos is fucking terrific. I get to practice my airshots in a great environment and speed up my carpal tunnel.

Haha get fucked.
>>146924136
Higher tickrate and more intelligent teammates are worth it. Yes, you still get the retards, but you'll often get people willing to work together because of the more competitive mindset the mode attracts.
>Sporty Tracers guns don't have her name on them in the Golden skin
for what fucking purpose
>>146923462
Maybe /owg/ is good anon, that is also an option.
>>146924229
>300 wins
>not based on your win ratio or anything
>just 300 wins
Is this easy mode?
>>146924208
The slow blood is also very silly because what the fuck why would you want your sniper to have SLOWER reaction times? She's just badly thought out and doesn't fit in with the rest of the aesthetic at all, it's fucking bizarre.
It's doubly fucking bizarre actually because Overwatch's aesthetic is 'oh wow look at all these fucking crazy pieces of shit' and she STILL looks stupid and odd and out of place.
>>146923585

I can't fucking deal with the tracking I need to do in it.
I'll need to do it so I can get better aim with Pharah, but it's gonna be hell hitting Shift all the damn time.
>>146924307
teams are put on a random side and if the attacking team caps the first point within the time limit they win
in other words, it's a coinflip and whoever gets attack wins 99% of the time
>>146924307
The game flips a coin
The team that gets heads (attack) wins, the team that gets tails (defense) loses
>>146924351
HIGHER TICKRATE FUCKING WHEN?
You'd think they'ed turn it up for fucking comp
ratios are fake math, much like graphs.
Anyone who trusts them is a hooligan, a fool, and an all around jackaninny

Consoles have a much more even ground to fight on, and nothing like Lucio wall glitches that make people unkillable. Plus it makes people like McCree, Widow and Hanzo harder to play, with the reduced aim.
>>146924394
The idea is she is the world's steadiest shot. Personally, I think she fits the aesthetic more than a lot of heroes in the roster.
I just want a fun silly superhero thing. Not this grey morality corruption and robot rights stuff.

I'm having this issue too. Before the latest patch, I was at over 60fps on Epic settings and now I'm stuck at 23fps.
>>146923538
I love playing Lucio but even I have admit that his personality is pretty flat, like most of the cast. He's predictably positive and bubbly at all times, save for maybe having a little bit of bants with symetra. He's just an easy character archetype to like.
>>146924553

>>146924430
What's their reasoning behind it?
>>146924506
Actually I don't really play her, I've just never been even mildly inconvenienced by a poison mine. Like, ever. Seriously, how do you die to that? It does like 20 damage. That's not going to stop a monkey trouble.

>>146924658
You're ranked compared to all the players of that current match. If you're getting gold medals (i.e. being the best on your team) then you're more likely to be more highly ranked. The game will notices that you're excelling compared to your teams and as a result place you higher for your real matches.
Competitive mode is a blessing. I've won all my placement matches so far and have been matched up with competent teammates. I've been playing Reaper the whole time and he is fucking INSANE when you're able to depend on teammates to take advantage of your flank attacks and create reliable defensive lines you can work for sneak attacks.
This game is beautiful
>there are people jumping into comp now
>not waiting until the weekend warriors start playing to inflate your rank
is the kill cam constantly fucking up for anyone else?
Should I do my placement matches now, or wait a few days? Is anyone making a group for them?
>>146924285
So I'm hearing there's both no reason not to play comp and comp is not as good as it was hyped to be
>>146924827
It doesn't count individual performance at all.
>>146924736
That's without ever losing too.
>>146924863

It won't really matter, in the end.
Ranked is fucking cancer fuck this shitty jew game I'm fucking sorry I ever trusted Blizzard.
>>146924809
Well if you tank your competitive rating as low as possible you can get the match time down pretty far.
Your average match will probably take about 10-15 minutes after all the bullshit menus and forced waiting times.
>>146924658
It means you did well on the games you lost
The question is whether or not "how well" you do during a match is directly correlated to score, where healers can pad the shit out of it easily.

Why does 76 has some of the shittiest legendaries in the game?
>>146923984
>
What, precisely, is the counterplay to 'I can see you through walls' supposed to be? There isn't any. You run out and die and then find out that she knew you were there all along. The global callout on her ult is a good change but why didn't she have it from the start?
Ult call out is changing that. There is counterplay now. (Stay out of her range while her ult is up or git gud).
>Why is her poison mine such utterly, hilariously worthless garbage?
The mark of a worthless Widow. Her mine is very good at proximity detection and for getting the first hit on flankers. Makes it way easier to kill them if they're poisoned.
>
Why is there no punishment whatsoever for just going 'oh fuck it' and repeatedly bodyshotting everyone instead of aiming because you have a 30 round fucking sniper rifle clip that charges to max strength in about a second and a half?
There is. Bodyshots are less effective now since her nerf. Literally the biggest change to her that everyone wanted. Bodyshots = More TTK = More time exposing yourself to flankers and other snipers.
>Why is her assault rifle basically as good as 76's, just without the rocket launcher?
It's really not. It's a decent close quarters weapon but S76s rifle is by far superior and has better DPS.
>Why does she get to do everything Hanzo does but better apart from his ult?
Hanzo is a different kind of sniper. He's mid-range while she's purely long range, and he specialized in area clear with his E, shift (which is up more often than her ult now), and his Q.
>Why is she the only character in the game who's FUCKING PURPLE? 76 isn't fucking purple and he basically died and got brought back. Why is she purple? WHY ARE YOU PURPLE
The answer to this is found in her lore. She was brainwashed and experimented on by Talon when she was captured.
Literally every answer to this was answerable. If this was bait I fell for it hard but I'm more inclined to believe you're just a retard.
>>146923835
>180° means giving it back the shield

It's not for the damage dumbass. It's a literal some motherfucker is walking towards you gtfo or die.

>>146925006

>>146924552
I'm sure it's very useful to be the world's steadiest shot when you pull the trigger and put a bullet through the hotel room TV four seconds after your target has paid his bill and left to catch his flight.
You're right though, she'd actually fit really well with a silly capes-and-masks superhero/supervillain setting; something where you can just overlook her stupid backstory because dude it's superheroes everyone has a stupid backstory.
>>146924582
Lucio's got a flat personality but he's a high-energy character so it's fine, I think. He's super upbeat at all times, sure, but at least he has more to him than just 'man who heals people'.
THERE'S A CUTE SOUNDING GRILL IN MY GAME. ON COMS!!
>>1469249704 anybody, really desu senpai
>>146924974
Yeah, we already knew this was an issue the instant it went on the PTR, it was too late to change it though if they wanted to push out competitive at the end of June.
Better to have a half broken competitive system run for 1.5 months to work out the kinks than to spend another 2 months developing it.

Are you fucking serious?
>>146924827
I'm getting the same amount of rank whether I have 4 gold medals or not. Stop lying
Here's a tip
If you're, say, 0-4, just go Lucio. Do nothing but stay on the objective and heal. You'll probably get 2 gold medals, and maybe a couple of bronze/silver if you're on a good enviro kill map like Lijiang or Ilios. Don't make your ranking suffer from shitty teammates.
>>146924930
well the reaosn to play ranked is to see a different number get larger, or smaller I'm not sure which way the ranking goes, and to get comp points to buy gold weapons, and probably other shit later.
there was never going to be any kind of special rules for it, so I have no idea what you thought you'd be getting.

Am I playing him wrong? Am I just shit? Should I pick another hero? Feels like I'm constantly getting into situations where we're getting steamrolled and I try and stop it by contesting the payload and no matter who I pick I can't deal with them all on my own and it just contributes to the snowball.
At least my Pharah got better today though. Gold in both elims and I started landing a lot more direct hits. I think I need to pick her up again in between practicing Zarya and Hog, she's a lot of fun.
I just want to get good with some characters besides Zenyatta because as much as I love him homeboy's gonna be straight garbage when D.Va gets buffed if Blizz doesn't do something about him too

>>146925392
It's D.va, not D.v.a.
>>146925053
Yeah, I get the idea of using it as an alarm, but that still doesn't actually make it good; it can only mark one route into your nest, and at least one of your counters has the ability to just scream UNGA BUNGA ME HATE SNIPER and jump right down your fucking throat, so it's still kind of incredibly useless. The only thing you're gonna do with it is mildly inconvenience someone because now they have to pause for a single second to shoot or step around it, or make them tut and grimace a bit when they accidentally trigger it and realize that they're going to be fighting you at 90% health instead of 100%.
I'm just saying, given that you can sit way the fuck back out of danger unlike Hanzo due to dropoff, AND your ult lets your whole team see through walls, having a skill whose only use is basically 'well it kind of tells me if someone is coming I guess' is a bit shit and pointless.

Hes a little underwhelming now but nobody will be mad if you play him
i fucking hate lucio but i have to play him because the others are terrible
Any tips for learning to play Zarya? She's my least played tank despite how good she is, mostly cause I feel like either can't find my team in a firefight to charge up on without wildly whipping around and just making myself a big target, or when I DO end up getting choice shields and maxing my charge, I've ended up overextending and getting gibbed soon after.
>>146925642
those had better been gold medals against an equally ranked team.
>>146925657
Wins don't have as much to do with placement matches as first thought
nice forced meme blizzard
I went 7-3 and got placed 55. Healed mostly except for like 2 games
2 games into Ranked so far
>First game was close, genuinely outplayed by the enemy team
Can't get upset with that.
>Second game is Anubis defense round 1. There is a girl on our team.
>She switches to Symmetra on point "B" defense while I'm already on Torb and Zenny is our healer.
I'm glad I already know rank is given based on performance and not W/L or this would be a travesty.
>>146925289
its a bug they're working on fixing
>>146925708
Basically her beam is disconnecting when you swap between heal and damage boost on the same target
If you hold down LMB it will swap normally if you RMB, but then if you try swap back to healing the beam disconnects.

>>146925037
No? The whole point of bastion is that it's powerful but immobile
Making its sentry have a 180° effective turn rate means he's going to be even more garbage than it is now, meaning that to balance that the most straightforward way is to give its shield back, making so the only way to kill him effectively is to flank him and hope for the best
i got 6/4 and got placed 58. mostly played damage but did play support once and tank twice
>>146925849
>>146925594

Winning against higher ranked teams increases your score more. Losing against higher ranked teams lowers your score less. Average team rank factors into how much you gain or lose.

I'll take it for now. Here's hoping I can break out of the mire. Could be much worse.

Anyone know what rank you have to be to unlock hero at the end of the season (for the animated spray). Also does it base the hero rank off your highest rank for the season or based off your current rank when the season ends?

>>146925818
>Zenyatta

>Terrible
They're actually all good, they're just good at different ranges. Mercy needs to be right up in the mix, Lucio needs to be a little more out of the way so he can juke and dodge while keeping his team in his auras, and Zenyatta wants to be right at the back so he can see the whole team at once and immediately start healing whoever needs it, all while going 'Fuck this tank, my good pals. Fuck it to death.' with Discord.
>>146926025
You realize groups are more often than not casual shitters who only play to have "fun" with their casual shitter friends. It's not an excuse for losing.
>>146925832
>end up overextending with maximum charge
this is literally my biggest problem. getting max charge makes you feel like a God. But you're still just as killable as before. You really need to drill into your head to stay with your team.
When you don't have your charge, let the other tank, or the most hated heroes get into the line of fire first. 76, Reaper, Mei, Tracer, Pharah any hero that people instinctively put a lot of rounds at. Zarya is not a lead the team tank, she is a center of the pack tank, stay with your team, try to keep them in sight. If you don't see anyone on your team in your field of vision, it means they're behind you, and that makes both you and them more exposed. Turn around, back up, get your team in sight and place some barriers.
This is why Zarya tends to work best on KotH and Defense, because you'll almost always have your team around you at all times, no matter where the battle is coming from. It's jsut easier to keep them in sight, rather than when you go on the attack.
>go 4-6

The dude that said he'd switch only did so after the payload was 20 feet from the end. Slightly mad, but I don't know what else I expected. Kinda fun to get all up in tactics and shit, though.

I think that's a big problem with the game. Sometimes I don't realize I'm being shot point blank from behind until I see the killcam. I'll know I'm taking damage but it always seems to be coming from a distance so I just run for cover, but they'll be right on my ass.

>>146926382
That's been my experience with most of them so far
only Mystery Heroes and Arcade have held my attention for longer than a day
These "use only specific heroes" brawls are very boring
>>146926476
Yup, 100% solo.
so are they getting rid of the coin flip sudden death
because it's fucking terrible
i'd actually prefer the koth match it would go to in beta over this shit
at least take the fucking time to cap into account, jesus

Well, see you guys in 3 months.
They should give reaper the ability to go up behind someone and pull their spine out from their lower back
Jammku is on to something with attack Torb. He lands spread-shotgun headshots while the turret whittles away making it a literal 1-shot.
>>146926076
when did you realize your actions have no bearing on a games outcome?
>>146926414
No, slows and stuns have no place in an fps. Mei needs a total rework.
Please, when will Blizzard nerf Winston, and actually give him a serious counter?
>>146926678
das raciss
>>146926638
No one cares Jammku.
>win first round

>server fucks up and just stops recording eliminations
uhhh
has this happened to anyone else?
>>146926678
there is a serious counter already
it's callednot being a shitter
>>146926678
Winston does like no damage though. I killed a Winston in a 1v1 as a Mercy before.
>>146926638
when was this taken? alpha?
>>146926638
who?
>>146926678
they shouldnerf his damage
>>146926023
If I get the chance to play tank, I play Zarya.
I may not be the best with her, but God dammit do I love how she plays.
>>146924402
What's the brawl this week?
>>146923064
I don't understand how your webm is such quality despite being only 20 seconds. Where's all the bitrate going towards?
>>146926561
Yes, but not this season.

>What is Reaper?
>>146926678
Pick Reaper dumb fuck
>>146926678
Hook him as Roadhog
Shoot him in the head
Monkey Dead
Even if you somehow fuck that up, just stop and take a breather, because he literally cannot kill you through it with his tiny tickle-gun
Pigs and monkeys are natural enemies don't you know anything

>>146926527
I don't know if this bugs the fuck out of me or not.
My friend got 61, I got 60, we went 8-2. What's driving me crazy is that there were several games where I did the first round as a DPS, got 3 gold medals, and then the second round I switched to healer. My gold medals would drop down to bronzes and my healing would be a silver.
Does this mean I fucked my rank because I switched roles? Do I seriously need to just not switch roles ever?
>>146926638
literally who
How's Competitive treating you /owg/?
>>146926678
Reaper.
Winston's damage is low, his bubble is weak and as a fuckhuge cooldown.
Nerf Zaraya or make one of those stupid rap songs about how fucking idiots need to stop shooting her damn bubbles
Holy shit I love playing as Torbjorn and Symmetra.
Got turret(s) that do good damage, and then have guns that everyone underestimates.
It's fucking beautiful when you right click down a reaper or a reinhardt as Torb, or chase down fucking anyone as SymThey're going to get nerfed, aren't they?
>>146926850

Lol why the fuck are stacks allowed in ranked if it's supposed to measure individual skill? It should be 2 man duos at MOST.
>>146926638
almost as disgusting as your teeth
>>146925453
>I just want to get good with some characters besides Zenyatta
Everyone talks about adding things to Zenyatta to make him less squishy. I disagree with this. He is scary as FUCK on the battlefield already.
Also everyone talks about doing weird mechanics with Zenyatta to fix him which won't happen because honest, they aren't going to put forth the effort to program any new mechanics.
It is easy to fix Zenyatta.
>1) Increase movement speed by 30%
He has no movement abilities, his hit box is massive because he is floating around. At least make it so he can keep up with his teammates and also be somewhat difficult to hit if you strife/jump around.
Coupled with this idea is to make it so Rein's Ult and Junkrat's trap no longer work on him on the account that he is fucking floating.
>2) Increase Orb of Harmony heal rate from 30hp per second to 35 or 40hp.
Look at he stats of all over healers in the game, Zenyatta needs to have a better heal rate so when you pick Zenyatta it doesn't force the rest of the team to only pick soldier 76s, roadhogs, and another healer just because Zenyatta barely functions as a healer.
>3) Convert his 50 hp+shields to 50 armor+shields
I know this is about making him "not as squishy" but he is a robot after all
>>146924457
Yeah but you'll be paired with shitters. You won't win any more than if you played at your skill, unless you can carry a whole team.
widowmaker's lore is sad
>>146926901
pretty good, met some chill guys, had some fun, got a few more people for my friends list.
>You get half a fucking point for a win
>On a 6 game win streak still getting just half 1 point for each win
Fuck this is gonna take ages.
>>146926891
We're not sure yet, that's just what it looks like from casual glance, but Blizzard hasn't revealed how their system ranks "individual skill".
>>146926527
This is bullshit, unless my quickplay rating is like 30.
I carried hard as fuck all 10 of my placements and ended up at 49
>>146924019
I was playing quickplay after competitive being even worse with stomping victories either from my team or the other almost all the time,
There weren't many people as before, but it felt nice that people were more relaxed, so they actually thought things better and actually helped me rather than spam on the chat who needs to be who and barely doing anything.
Also less quits, surprisingly
>>146926901
like dog shit. It's even less balanced than quick play. Also it's plagued with zaryas
>>146924854
Man I wish I had your luck. I'm rank 48 and It's shit for me. Not a single close match, it's all winning by a landslide for either team.
>>146923860
All the gold and the guns in the world, couldn't get you off.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYLjHhSOE7s
who thought it was a good fucking idea to have the first point capped in sudden death be the decider?
especially when the run back when defending is so much longer than attacking
this is a fucking nightmare
>anxious as fuck about going into ranked
>I could play now or an hour from now and have completely different team mates
>one could be a bunch of shitters and others could be competent.
Anyone else have FPS issues since the competitive patch? I used to run epic at a stable 120+ FPS at 1080p (and lower graphics with a much higher FPS). But as of today's patch, every single setting gives me 60-70 FPS. (Low to Epic, all the same). My monitors are properly configured to be 144hz, so it's not like the FPS hardcap is due to that.
Why does the game put my friends into Australian servers but me into American ones?
>>146925836
>>146925742
Apparently I'm a shitter for murdering a team ranked 1-3 levels around my own
I don't know, I started out at 51 but I'm already 54. Every match isn't really a stomp, but I'm constantly getting gold for elims and damage.
I guess I just need to climb to get to my actual ranking.

What was his name? There was a Level 35 reaper in my placement games who would literally just tilt for no reason and was calling us similar stuff. Was it something greek sounding like Ibanos?
>>146927141
I had that problem too, until I put OnlineService.Matchmaking.ServerPool=AU1 into the command line arguments thing in the bnet launcher. Some people say it doesn't work, but I haven't been put in a non-AU server in like 80 games.
>join ranked placement
>It's like i'm playing against people on controllers
>50 eliminations 5 deaths
Gee sure am glad to get away from high mmr games for a while.
1-0
>>146925713
no character with a non-ult stun is "fair", but mccree has basically been replaced by roadhog since by nerfing fan they effectively removed his ability to deal with anyone over 150 health
stuns arent balanced, fan needs to be rebuffed, hes still pretty fucking good but almost nobody but aimbotters use him effectively
>>146926974
The Dev team has said they want the game to be about groups of friends vs groups of friends.
It truly should be solo-queues for competitive play, and Stacks for tournament mode.
D.Va a shit

Don't worry about it, be happy you can work your way up from the bottom.

meanwhile you probably you look like a lazytown puppet irl
>>146926678
Sup chimpo
>>146927490
All of them
This game is literally made for people that can't aim. Just look at the hitboxes
>>146927476
I lost 6 and won 4, got rank 48.
Anyways, being in rank 48 is shit. It's worse than quick play. People above 50 seem to be having fun, not people in their late 40s tho
>>146927584
u wot
>post yfw GREY GREY BLUE GREY
>>146927507
i get them too, what do they mean
>>146927348
what they should do is turn the queue system into "find a team" and have you queue up with those people consistently so you can actually get to know people rather than disbanding teams constantly to refill or "balance" games
so if you fucking steamroll itll find you a better team to play against instead of going OH FUCK YOURE TOO GOOD, HERES 5 HANZOS
>>146927605
Win/Loss isn't the main factor. I had only 3 wins in PTR and it gave me 47 as a starting rank.
>>146927476
so what did you get placed at, im genuinely curious

Why the fuck is there always a Zarya + Roadhog in EVERY GAME
https://rankedboost.com/overwatch-tier-list/
PFFFFSSSHHHHAHAHAHAHHA
>>146926678
Here are some of winston's counters
>D.VA
She shits on winston
>Bastion
Bastion destroys winston, even on his ult form, he's free ult food for bastion
>Roadhog
Roadhog can easily aim all his shots at winstons face after hookshotting his giant gorilla body
>Junkrat
Throw a trap as winston approaches. you'll get winston even if he's moon jumping most of the time, then you feed him bombs
There's probably more, but he really only counters a single class, widowmaker, and does it very slowly, so widowmaker can grapple to her team so winston will have to retrear or die
Any time I play support I'm gonna play Zenyatta from now on.
If shitters don't like it they can switch to Mercy/Lucio instead of whatever awful Genji/Hanzo they tend to be.
Fuck it
>>146927879
because they're overpowered?
I'm having fun, but I don't think I'm all that great. How do I get better at characters that require aim?
>>146927619
>crushing victory first game
>guy leaves in overtime on second game
>we almost fucking lose
>>146927863
there's always either on my team, no matter what the mapplus roadhog is litearlly more fun than anything else
>>146927879
Because Roadhog is the best solo-tank and Zarya is amazing if the enemy team is stupid, or if she has a Tank/Bastion/Reaper to support
>>146927872

She should be breastfeeding not bottle feeding. She's a terrible mum
>>146927879
Roadhog is the seconnd-best tank after Reinhardt, and Zarya is super strong but doesn't combo well with Reinhardt.
Since most people run two tanks, this is a popular, strong, and synergetic combo people pick.
So anons, just beging playing and trying to get good, I have some doubts that and I wonder if anyone can help me
-How does D.Va barrier actually works?

>-How does D.Va barrier actually works?
you deploy it and for a few seconds every bullet/projectile directly in front of you is deleted
>After hooking someone with roadhog do I shoot them or punch them for more damage?
shoot them. always hold down m1 while dragging to make sure your shot goes off as soon as possible.
>Should someone die and I have ult as mercy should I use it right away or wait for more people to die to take more value out of it?
if your team is doing well and not many people are dying, it's okay to single rez someone important if you need to.
>when sould I use Mcree second shot?
after the nerf, never. if you can't aim m1 then don't play mccree at all, other DPSs can do his job better.
>>146928335
Options -> game settings -> under Overwatch, check the box "additional command line arguments"
Should I play ranked now or wait for the ban wave? Aimbotters are running rampant in the chink server.

Guys I think I suck at all the characters
>>146928220
D.Va's E isn't really a barrier, but shoots down projectiles in its area of effect (the barrier-looking thing). It's really good for shit like Junkrat, because it completely ignores his ass, as well as a lot of other projectiles. I haven't gotten a chance to try it against some of the ultimates, but I THINK it can block a few of those as well.
Mercy's ult is really contextual. Use it when you feel like the revive would be worth it. If you think they're going to just get up and get killed again, that's not doing anything. That said, the more people you can revive at once, the more likely it is that your revive will turn the situation around.
>>146927961
It's 75% mouse quality and 25% skill

Ranked just came out, give it like a few hours and you'll be in the top thousands / ten thousands
So I can just grind what, 300 ranked wins for my golden gun huh I I'm not worried about w/l? Or do ilu lose ur comp points if u lose also?
To autistic and shy to try and talk to people to find groups :(
>>146928336
The most upsetting thing in my life is how shit this game's competitive play is.
Doing fine.
>every comp match I've been in someone has left
>each one has counted as a loss
Is anyone else's compettive matchmaking fucked?
Keep sending me to Skirmish and then dropping me instantly back to the home screen. Worked fine my first three matches.
>Every enemy team has Pharah, S76, Hog, Zarya and Mercy instantly taken
>With either a Trashmouse, Lucio or a flanker as the last slot
lads have my opponents stumbled upon the godcomp?
>>146927619
>>146928776
yes, you can just grind out wins.
but remember that you need to play two games for each comp win.
>>146927773
You left too many games.
Anyone playing on Xbone?
Watching Jammku play Offense Torb is crazy. He b-hops around 5v1 and just 1-2 shots people.

Are you sure you're not accidentally playing the weekly brawl?
>>146929128
Not like leaving would stop that loss getting tacked on
>>146928898
its situational on koth if you already have a lucio
on everything else no dont do that he really is that bad its not a meme

>>146929235
did you have a nice walk though?
>>146929236
Placed at 49 (which was complete bullshit), dropped to 48, and now I'm at 50.
>win Hanamura 5v6 on ranked
>Proceed to win Hanamura attack as a 4v6 next round
My dick has never been harder because of this fucking game
>>146928898
I got Zen in comp and so far I've won every match.
I kill their tanks, I bust their turrets, I heal the team, and I make any flanker easy prey for my team.actually, I shouldn't even tell you this because I want Zen all to myself
>>146927235
Yea she is pretty broken when no plays her counters and everyone just spams projectile shots into an opening.

That actually soundsfunandbalancedwhich we all know are impossibilities for Jizzard
>>146929289
actually a friend's game crashed, and the match he quit didn't count as a loss, so I could've avoided that loss
Predict my next 3 matches, /vg/
>>146924618
Dude it doesnt 75 damage over 5 seconds and it's on a 8 second cooldown which means if somebody is trying to flank you and activates if you quickly put down another on you can hit somebody for 150. Which blows the fuck out of Tracer and anybody else can eat your assault rifle.
Unless it's Winston
I want to ____ Mercy
>tfw you go on a fucking rampage as Torb and the play of the match is you popping ult, shotgunning ulted Winston to death and then engineering it as the entire enemy team tries to bash their skulls against it
feels good man
I know he's such a shitter character but honestly 10/10 satisfying to play
>>146928818
Thx, shouldn't be to much of a prob. Long time neet mmo player x.x

HOLY SHIT FUCKING RETARDS DONT QUEUE FOR RANKED IF YOU ARE GONNA GIVE UP SO EASILY
>>146927476
I went 3 wins 7 losses and got placed 40 as well.Even went 89% kill participation as junnkrat with 74 kills which was amazingbut matches were full of teamates doing stupid shit like 2 torbs, mei blocking us out, and attack bastion.
Guess this is another game where you get places depending on how lucky you are finding teammates and not actual skill

>>146929513
Hanamura/Volskaya/Anubis all require coordination for the offensive team
The reason they're so hated in quick play is that more often than not the entire defense is sitting on there and you're not going to take a point held by six people right next to their spawn with anything fucking less than six people
why does widowmaker have such shitty lore
how's competative going?
I wish they kept the KOTH at best out of 3 for Competitive. Best out of 5 takes too damn long.

>>146922465
I got 49, no reason to continue playing desu.
>>146922465
Would have been higher probably if my placement matches didn't go so bad. I started at 4-1, then l lost every single one to people that didn't even try and at least one troll team.
Highlight was a Mei that thought she was being useful on Temple of Anubis on attack.
>2-0 Ilios
>team suddenly goes full spaghetti and makes it 2-2
>99-99 final round
>teammates that are the only ones closest to the point refuse to get on it
I knew it was going to be like Quick Play. Retards just fucking it up and being useless.
>Play several comp games today

Seriously are you people just poor or shy?
Define the term "shitter" in regards to overwatch.
>won 5/6 placement matches so far
>averaging 10 K/D
GOING STRONG
>>146929384
And here comes the Zarya apologists despite she being picked in every competitive game
>>146929778
my highlights were double snipers on defense, or even just one sniper on attack
What does rate match even do?
>>146929860
Picking a broken hero and getting kills based on fluke/luck instead of skill. In this case, keeping shit in your crosshair and getting a kill is skill.
spamming explosives or arrows and getting a triple is not. Shitters.
>>146922465

I was going to say about a Widow that was on one of my offense matches but she was like a Korean on Adderall or something because she just did NOT miss.
Just if you pick Widow on offense, just know how to aim.
>win 7 lose 3

well that's kinda disappointing

Crippling social anxiety.
>>146930081
You got carried bro.
>>146922167
Should I join Competitive as a solo player? I have no friends, no mic, I'm slightly above average and improving. In Hearthstone it's recommended to play ranked because of better matchmaking and there is no real downside. Is this case here?
>placement match on Volskaya
>three rounds of both teams being unable to take point 1
>>146929985
Wins and losses dont matter much.
Actually not getting carried is what matters.
>>146930110
I mean, I couldn't fault him.
He could've easily just rolled in and contested, but he did admit it was his fault and did give a reason as to why he didn't contest.
>>146930196
>I'm slightly above average
Every time I pick McCree I feel like I do nothing.
How do I get useful with him?
I never played shooters before so its fucking hard to aim with left button.
>>146929869
Yeah, if no one can figure out how to stop me I'd keep playing that hero. It's when they counter you that you should switch.
>>146928251
You'll get it friendo
>>146930181
I got golds and silvers in almost every game
in the 10th game I got 65% kill participation as tracer and carried so hard 2 enemies ragequit after the first round
>>146929846
I only use my mic if they use theirs. Only time I used it is when I command a team of 6 winstons to jump over a wall at the same timewhich we ended up winningNo one has talked out of the 11 games I have played
>>146929846
overwatch wont detect my mic
also its like 1am and these walls are cardboard
>>146929846
my voice sounds so bad it distracts me from playing
Can you still leave in assembling without penalty in competitive?
>>146929846
I try to talk more but I have a stuttering problem.
>>146930238
stop being a dick and just answer the poor guy
>>146930254
mccree is useless after the nerf if you can't hit headshots, stop playing him
>>146930347
no, in comp the teams are defined before the match starts and there are no replacement players
What rank did y'all get?
I got 60.
>>146929909
tell blizz if you liked the match so they can adjust their matchmaking to make you like it more
supposedly
Guys we have a serious problem. She needs help. How do we fix her addiction?
How do we fix Zenyatta?
>>146930451
60 as well.
How many of you guys actually add others from here? No matter what I do I can't win because of bad teams
>get tons of gold medals in placements

>learning zarya
>get loaded into king's row defense

So this is russian strength?
Are they really patching Torbjorn's turret but only on consoles?
>>146930473
i mean their overall matchmaking in future patches, there's no effect on your current matches afaik, they're just gathering data
SERIOUS QUESTION
im level 23 right now
Should I go into rankeds just as I reach 25 or should I just keep playing quicks to get better?
So now that's is confirmed McCree is shit tier, will Blizzard rethink his nerf? Why can't they just bring back the old fan, but make each subsequent bullet do less damage?
>>146930519BLOOD MAGEi want it so bad
>>146929778
>4-6 get 54
>me, 6-4 get 50
WHY!?
>>146930535
Gamers HATE this guy and his advice, but I've HEARD that improving your OWN gameplay makes winning games easier...
But you didn't hear it from me...
>>146930018
Cool. I've been trying to git gud with D.Va and learn her matchups and shitbecause she's fun, but it's kinda hard when 90% of quick play matches have one or more enemy Reinharts.
That heavy metal, hammer-swinging, shield-toting, spam-ramming, glitch-provoking motherfucker is annoying as shit to deal with when his skills are up.
>>146930535
plot twist: you probably have bad teams because you are bad
>>146930196
Exact same, no reason not to unless you want to feed a delusion that you're an amazing player and would definitely be rank 100. That's how ranked is for every game
>>146930558
I did the exact same thing, even same number of wins, and got 50
saw many people with worse stats that got higher ranks
I guess this is just luck
>>146930641
he was playing the objective and you were probably playing tdm
>>146930641
Maybe I did so well in the first games that it rated me higher? I don't know. The placement system seems fucked.
This is getting so confusing.
I thought it went to sudden death if both teams won their round and it was even.
I just had a industries game where both teams won the round, it didn't go sudden death and we just kept swapping sides until the clock ran out.
We ended up like 4-2 and won defending the first point when they were attacking again.
>>146929846
>60% of players still refuse to use their mics
Because I turn the voice volume down to 0 because no one speaks loud enough or clear enough and the content of what they say is the vast majority of the time not critical.
STAY OFF THE FUCKING CHANNEL IF YOU HAVE NOTHING IMPORTANT TO SAY!
Don't say "Come on guys, keep it up"
Don't say "what?!"
The comms channel is for "sniper on left" or "Tracer flanking" or "Put bastion on the payload and I'll shield for you"
>>146930519
Reduce orb of discord to 30%
Give him 25 armor
Allow Harmony Orb to be maintained for 10 seconds out of LoS
Make him immune to beartrap
>>146930729
It's not luck. It's based off your Quickplay MMR.
So is it safe to leave at the beginning of ranked too? My last two games were cancelled since someone left
>>146928897
jammku fuck off you lonely faggot
>>146930749
I got gold for nearly every game for Objective time so who knows. Especially on the games where I was Reinhardt.
>>146930828
This would be a huge nerf.
Oh shit
I never realized lucio was such freelo
>>146930519
TWO harmony orbs to make his healing worthwhile
25 more shields
>>146930828
>Reduce orb of discord to 30%
aka one more reason to never pick him over Mercy
>>146930824
>don't give positive encouragement to the team
What now?
>>146930667
This may be elementary advice but shooting his shield as D.va is super effective. It takes every point of damage.
>>146922465
>average skill level
Nigga nobody knows for a week due to blizzards retarded initial placing system where nobody can start higher than rank 60.
It'll be like a week until people actually know if their rank is inflated/too low/right where it should be for their skill level.
Fucking afk bullshit. I think I've dealt with more afk and leavers in competitive than quick play.
>>146930861
You still get a loss. I don't know why it doesn't mention that when you leave. It says without PENALTY, except that you lose kek
>>146930789
maybe volskaya overtime is bugged or something, that happened to me in the ptr
we won 5v6 after like 20 minutes of swapping by successfully defending the first point
Any fags in EU below 25 level wants to play with me?
Did they mess with the POTG algorithm?
I've been seeing a lot of weird ones.
>>146929624
>tfw nobody liked your play of the game
>>146930918
He's fukin strong as is, he just can't capatilize on it due to him missing 50 hp.
Mercy can only give one person damage boost. Orb of Discord makes the enemy weaker from all sources of damage. Your damage is buffed, as well as everyone else's.
>>146930943
We fucking know that we are doing good and we know to keep it up.
You think that as soon as we get to a checkpoint we'll just kick our feet up and say "Well, no one told us to 'keep it up' so fuck it, Let's lose guys!"
>>146930946
While I know that his shield is pretty easy to break, in the heat of the moment I usually find it easier to jetpack around to flank, because that applies pressure to his entire team.
Pity you can't shoot while E's on, though I suppose that'd be too good.
>>146928913
It was supposed to be a trick play to get the defense to panic and make a mistake. The ball was never supposed to be snapped and it was an illegal formation anyways.
>>146930519

>>146931070
Obviously you don't understand how people give up so easily when things go sour.
Giving out positive feedback is good, people appreciate it, and stay resilient when things turn the other direction.

You still won't see people target the actual Discord victim very much because for some ungodly reason nobody else can see the icon. You'd think that shit would be important.
Also Harmony doesn't need to be extended, it just needs to heal faster. Or you need to get another one. It's a fuckin pain trying to keep everybody topped up with just the one.
>>146931185

It can eat Mei's ult if it gets into the barrier before it lands on the ground. Wouldn't be surprised if it can eat Hanzo's ult before it turns into a dragon.
>>146931347
Fault. You didn't take your pistol out and win against 76.
You lost because you sucked.
I'm sure you guys are top 500 right?
>>146931373
the kind of shitter that needs a tag on the picking screen to tell them how to play a hero
>>146931362

That's why I mute the voice channel, for chatty-kathys like you who annoy the piss out of me because you aren't helping the team by talking, your talking because you want to socialize/grandstand rather than win.
What level should I be before playing competitive? I'm like 32 now but I don't want to be the equivalent of someone just hitting level 30 in league of legends and playing ranked straight away.
>>146928220
DVa barrier nullifies everything
shoot then animation cancel into punch, aim for center body for maximum dmg
dont play mercy, you can heal jesus back to life but u still cant carry retards that doesnt know how to put a single bullet in the right place
spam mcree second shot if you cant headshot with left click
>>146931506
It shows up for me too but as far as I know it's bugged to shit. Apparently a bunch of people that aren't in the top 500 show up as in the top 500 and it shows for them and nobody else. I literally had the top 500 symbol after my first placement match.

>lol ok I'm not going to gimp myself
>Go Hog to try and recover but nobody fucking gets on the point and nobody fucking deals with flankers so I'm basically just throwing myself at six people every time and trying to get a lucky hook
>Lose easily

>>146930451
44 because i am not amazing and i had 1 game with a leaver and 2 with mega shtiters. Other 3 losses were just we lost on normal account.

The bigger the number the better and apparently rank 100 will be basically impossible for even the best players in the world because you need to maintain like a 95% win rate to get and maintain it.

Were the early episodes of Nah Roo Toe good or did I just have shit taste back in high school?

50-60 is above average
40 is average
>>146931873
>laughingwhores.jpg
small numbers are never better anon
>you lose a point for every lost game but not 1 for every won game
what the fuck
so this is just play until you reach 0?
>>146932080
Every game except for my first placement has been better. At least now you'll have a couple guys besides you willing to join team voice chat
>>146932156
source? I was under the impression that 50 was average.
is there a way to see your rank without being in a game?
>>146932156
50 is literally average, you shitter
I just got rank 83 with this guide.
Just hit level 25 and won my first comp match.
>people that use their mics
>people that know not to push too far ahead on defense
>genjis that know what they're doing
So this is comp
>>146932272

>Think I'm a good Lucio because of how I do in pubs
>Out of my 8 placement games so far, I played Lucio four times
>All three of my losses were Lucio
Have I just been too used to people not being able to aim or something?
>>146932102
Thanks friend
>>146932176
Being #1 isn't good? Guess I should get rid of all my god medals.
>>146922465
got placed at 51, but I got stuck tanking every single fucking game except one, when i went gold/gold/gold as 76 with 56 elims =\
Does tankbitching fuck with your placement somehow? Does it just go on wins/losses or individual performance?
>>146932353
>games where the the first character locked is a lucio/mercy
Those are the games that you know you've already won.

>Roadhog can land aim assist hooks
My sides.
Step 1) Don't get hit by hook you shitter
Step 2) Don't stand in alt-fire one shot range you shitter
Step 3) Obtain ult

Gold medals
Gosh darn it.

DON'T LET THEM FLANK US YOU FUCKING RETARDS
YOU KNOW THEY HAVE A MCREE AND A PHARA

HOLY FUCKING SHIT
>>146932489
>I'll take a chip.. AND EAT IT
>>146932471
that's not true
I got tons of gold medals, won 9-1 and it still put me at 51
fuck this meme

>Does tankbitching fuck with your placement somehow? Does it just go on wins/losses or individual performance?
Maybe but why not just go winston and get gold elims or zarya and get gold elims and damage?
p.s. is anybody else experiencing any issues with the captcha? it's like the picture doesn't turn up sometimes or it's slow to load.

>play Overwatch at a rate that would send any sane human spiraling into autism and full-blown depression
Cool, I'm several steps ahead.
>>146922465
Am I shit?
>>146932869
according to what people are saying in this thread you're slightly above average. So yes you're shit.
>>146932272
>Tracer counters D.Va
That's bullshit. Every time I see a Tracer they either flee after taking 2 shots or they die. Outside the robot the only thing that changes is that I spend most of my time staying well out of range, which is what you're supposed to fucking do anyway without the robot.
Never ever ever ever have I ever considered doing something as retarded as wasting my ult on a Tracer (or ANYONE fast for that matter), and if I see one blink I am immediately turning around to find it.
>>146932765
>why not go winston or zarya
Because sometimes, you have to go Reinhardt to win. It depends on your team comp a lot. Being a solo tank Winston is just dumpster tier for your team.
I probably should've played more for individual performance than trying to help my team.
>>146931779
I like dinking people for 140 at least 50% of the time
>>146933001
Sure if you don't have another tank winston sucks but in that case go zarya she's fine as a solo tank (still not ideal though because of course you always want a reinhardt)

The very definition. Have you seen a specialist? Can I talk to your handler?
Just got put in a competitive match VS a Chinese guy playing Pharah on the American servers. Don't know what the fuck he was thinking, he was a huge liability to his team and was just utter trash because of lag.
>play competitive
>everybody is pretty nice except for 1 or 2 people
Why are people nicer in a much more competitive gamemode?
>>146934937
Because tilting your teammates is a shitty idea when wins and losses actually matter.
>>146931356
How did they fuck up?

I had a situation yesterday where I lost a game and it dropped my half a rank, then I won and it gave me back a tenth. I get that the reason is we lost what Blizzard thought both games should have been easy game, then we won what they thought was an easy game... but it's still frustrating.

Are you trying to shitpost this perfection thing? Cuz i like it!

In Counter Strike competitive, if I get someone who's too unpleasant on voice I just say "Sorry, [csfag], but I'm going to have to mute you." and block communications. I'm kind of a pussy so I easily soak up negativity and it makes me feel bad.
I haven't been grouped with any cunts in Overwatch competitive yet, but when I do I can always just press P and mute their speaker icon.
