Should i do placements today or wait for the meta to calm down? kinda want to try out comp this season

sombra is ugly
sombra has unfun gameplay
ana has ruined 2 seasons and is about to ruin a third
the bastion changes eliminate his uniqueness and make him just another flavor of soldier 76
the bastion changes made him overpowered

is there ANYTHING good blizzard has done since release?

>>169774906

4-4-2 3872.

The Omnic Crisis feels like a myth. Teams can't seem to play around him well, and it feels like dive is a far stronger comp. Tracer/Genji/Winston really shits on the El Presidente comp, thus far.

>Why doesn't anybody want to be a right click and ult machine guys? Sombra is so good, look at all these kills I got by finishing off what other people started

Sombra a shit and Blizzard is deliberately designing her to be a shit. They're going to buff her hacking to the point where it's entirely OP and you need one on your team but keep everything else about her the same. It's going to suck.

The best part is I know blizzard will do absolutely nothing, because they have consistently shown they care nothing about the PC version.
I honestly think I'm done with Blizzard in general. They've fallen so fucking hard from what they used to be...

>>169774818

>>169776091
he'll get banned in a month or two, it's just he'll buy another $10 offhand key from a russian website and do it again

>>169775849
Then why does a bad team drop your score?

>>169776042
I don't know what you want to expect then
What, that Blizzard magically picked you out of the ocean of people and said "you know what'd be great? giving him half the SR of his teammate"

You are where you are because of last season, placement match results, and more than likely "hidden" values that every online ranking games have

TL;DR, you are where you belong

>already at 4 losses 3 wins
FUUUUUUCCCCCK
I don't want to be in plat again

>>169776160
So explain to me what is the significance of placement matches at the beginning of the season

>>169776216
If you lose a match but still play great, it'll still get you high mmr. Don't lose composure and you'll go high

So what are the changes to season 4 if there are any, do w/l matter in placements, should I just play them solo with Bastion ranking gold medals even if losing? I got to mid plat last season.

>>169776216
>Was in gold, then lost enough points to go "down" to silver
>team i stuck with pulled me to plat, then they dumped myself (ana) and our lucio for 2 shitters our top score carrier was IRL friends with
>now i can't even play with that stack anymore since they had a nuclear level falling out and are in silver range
Sometimes i wonder why i even let team games with ELO/MMR systems rope me in

>>169776216
it doesn't matter if you win or lose your placements. it's all about stats and your previous rank.

>Got lagged out of a KOTH match after winning first round
>Rejoin 2 minutes later to find my team won the second round in a 5v6
There is no better feeling

>>169776320
if it's anything akin to Dota 2's Hidden MMR to Actuall MMR, it's to give you a +/- score from your hidden score/last season score
>end with 2500 last season
>wreck it so hard in 10 prelim season matches
>get to be 3100~ ish now
and vice versa

>>169776368
gold medals don't mean shit, you have to be an above average Bastion player if you want to get out of plat.

>>169776456
>end with 2500 last season
>get to be 3100~ ish now
this is why I wait two weeks until I play my placements

>if the enemy has a bastion then you need a bastion so your bastion can break their rein shield and your roadhog can hook him

fucking good ass meta blizz

>>169776604
Dive was starting to take Rein out of high end play. Blizzard fixed the problem.

welp placement put me exactly where I was last season, can't complain I guess

>>169776456
Right, so if someone who hypothetically placed low consistently won against people who had previously placed far above them, they should climb?

the medal system only should really only be used as a form of discouragement, like pointing out shitty heals/damage

>>169776856
can't expect Mercy mains to do risky plays

>>169776856
Mercy is designed for girlfriends. They will never outright say they but it's the truth.

Just look at healers in WoW.

>>169776160
Except it doesn't work that way.

For one thing, ELO isn't designed for a team game. In fact, all the people who are experts on ELO agree it's a fucking stupid idea to use for team-based game. So that tosses out right there the idea that the system is accurately gauging individual skill.

Anyone who knows anything at all about ELO knows that it's a terrible idea to use it for a team based game.

this is kind of the issue with the fact that the game is one upfront fee, instead of free to play or has a monthly sub. they already have everyone's money, they know they can do whatever they want and it doesn't matter. we can't ask for a refund, and they can't do anything to bring more revenue into the game other than wave shiny things in people's faces to try to get new people to buy, or constant events with limited time cosmetics with abysmal drop rates so they only real way to get what you want is buying crates.

Because the way you play Bastion now is by running around and firing 4-5 shot bursts from your rifle at people, and doing a self-heal when you're in danger. His turret mode is essentially just for shield battles.

I'm higher ranked than you, so I'm correct.

I know it's just the salt talking but I would honestly be OK with Widow getting removed from the game. Half of the matches I play come down to "who has the better widow" (hint: not my team), and a typical lineup is Widow, Hanzo, Ana, McCree, Soldier + Tank.

In a game of team play, crazy abilities and strategy, I don't see the value in a point n click.

I just picked what looked fun to start with and stuck with it for a while to learn it well, might move on if mercy gets too easy to play, or I have to learn something else, my widow success has been pretty good so far, but I get so much hate playing her it doesn't at all feel fun or rewarding even if you win

t. bronze last season

Just want to say I love you guys but it was comical the way you compared CSGO to Overwatch. CSGO is by FAR superior game to Overwatch in every way. You guys went on there for a while on the podcast acting like Overwatch is somehow better, but I'm sorry it's not even close. A simplistic kiddy game that looks like its from 5 years ago isn't even in the same class as a mature and complex masterwork that raises the bar on graphics and moves games forward as a whole like CSGO. Get off your nostalgia horses and come back to reality. Overwatch sucks. Overwatch has always sucked. It never innovates. It never pushes the envelope. It never does anything gamers have never seen before. It never raises the bar. CSGO is fresh, original, and easily one of the best games of this generation. Funny how you have all these criticisms for CS and none for OW even though it's painfully obvious which is the better game. Typical Overwatch fanboys wearing blinders acting like other games are flawed but this one is perfect because it's called "Overwatch".

>>169778912
You litterally have to have a mental illness to think that ship makes any sense.

Reaper sure it makes sense he could have mixed feelings for S76, get twisted by Mercy rez or secretly be gay and hide it and push away from Overwatch to not confront the truth to S76.

But Soldier is in now way ever going to make sense as a gay ship. There are no tells, and relating real world logic or even tv to him makes him even straighter.

>>169779636

Autism.

Is Junkrat a good counter to Bastion or am I just running into shitters? Because I keep dismantling the bot with explosives.

>>169779847
Who are you quoting?

Bastion's counters require the bastion or the team using the bastion to fuck up. Ie, shooting genji but even that isn't a counter anymore or letting Sombra solo their healer. I didn't mention anything about my team or the enemy team.

still. changing configuration is like 0.5 seconds now.

Jesus lord above, Sombra desperately needs some sort of miracle buff.

Fuckin hack a god damn health pack, throw the fucking stupid damn teleporter on it and attempt to wittle down a big ass tank so you can charge the god damn fucking ult ALL SO YOU CAN SPAM IT AT THE WRONG TIME SHITHEAD.

the thing is that it doesn't matter anymore. I barely use turret and just play him like Soldier and my stats are just as good as they are with Soldier. the bigger hitbox is easily compensated by armor + damage reduction + ludicrous self heal.

So is Genji still the best counter to an asshole Bastion or has the buff changed that?

>>169780243
as someone who's climbed bronze-GM 3 times now, I have to say, getting 4 gold medals at that rank is something I can do playing with mute, watching a movie, lying down in bed and having the mouse on my stomach. It's not a LOT of effort for anyone of a smidgeon of skill, I'm a shitter above average, and silver is just... Laughably bad to anyone remotely decent at the game, I hate to tell you in such a demeaning way.

>>169780498
Genji has never been a counter to Bastion above gold.

>>169780483
>dva will be nerfed again

That's not even possible. There is nothing left to be nerfed.

>>169780498
No, since he takes less damage from reflected shots and none of them crit. Your best bet is focusing him down with 2 dps from range. Hanzo can hurt him bad

Good fucking luck if he has a pocket Mercy, I fucking hate pocket mercys. That ult change sucked.

Not really bragging or bargaining but having played against masters at least on qp, playing the placement matches was relaxing and didn't even take effort. It's just really frustrating that Blizzard actively employs methods to keep you playing their game and boast about active players

Respawn timer change sounds nice, fairer to attackers and makes grouping up worth it as a defender. Has anyone seen it in action and agrees or disagrees with it?

>tfw you're a top 500 player but you only have time to play one game per century so now you're going to derank to bronze

Fucking Blizzard!

It's funny because they tried to do something with Winston but ultimately made him useless in the end because of Bastion's buff.

>>169781306
>>169782040
feelsbadman, bullying squishies with him is fun af

I hope every bastion player loses their hands painfully

>lost my first placement game
It's only going downhill from now on, right?

>>169782196
Don't bother with competitive, it's a joke.

>>169781785
it's like they're using teamwork in a teambased game

How can people above level 100 still be in bronze?
I just got matched in my placements against some level 493 shitter in fucking bronze. Jesus Christ why are you even playing comp.

>>169782040
Now with both road and bastion in every game, playing Winston is literally suffering.

>buffing bastion

Lmao how is this game even still alive, casual normieniggers just gobble up every turd blizzard squeezes out dont they?

Holy fuck.

Aiming with Sombra requires practice. And if you think she is only good for hacking, you clearly have no idea how to play her.

It's literally impossible to solo climb out of gold because almost every game you'll have at least one person that doesn't know basic fundamentals like waiting for 6 people before you push an objective.

I'm tired of fucking begging my teams to stop prolonging trickles by peeking at the choke and getting killed.

Question for the lorefags, do we know Sombra's real name yet?

>Blizz a few months ago

>Blizzard now
>DUDE IMMORTAL BASTION LOL

>>169780186

>oh my god I have to play ~2 hours a week to be considered a high percentile player

>>169781763
yeah, i haven't seen a single bastion at diamond that has actually done anything

>>169782356
What else is she good for then genius? The hacking is the only thing she can do that other characters can't do better.

If you could actually aim you'd be playing a character that could capitalise on it.

>>169782396
Holy fuck this. Evey fucking game my team goes all DPS while I am forced to pick to be the only healer. Now with bastion it's even harder to solo carry.

>manage to get to fucking diamond with bastion being used for 50% of my games last season
>this new patch

ha....haha....ahaha.....AHA.....AHAHAHA


AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

>Playing comp when new hero changes were implemented

Are all of you mentally defect?

>>169782598
She's not the best option for that either.

>>169782751
Just wait till they drop the new hero next week.

>>169782598
Very useful. I'm glad we have an entire character dedicated to that. I wouldn't much prefer another character who could do that less well and stop them from having to be chased around in the first place. Surely, you are a credit to team and Sombra isn't a glorified hack machine.

>>169782778
>next week

HAHAHAHAH

>tell team to stop harassing me for heals
>no one gives a shit that I'm eating bullets and electricity from our flank
>switch to Widowmaker
>tfw shit aim
>we start winning

>>169781670
Yeah, i saw it in action in Team Fortress 2, where it's standard. And yes it is needed because often the final point/payload is so close to the enemy spawn they can literally just suicide rush it endlessly until the timer runs out

>>169782778
>next week.
Teach me how to cling to hope and be so blissfully naive

They should retroactively remove the top 500 icon from everyone who got it without being top 500 at the end of the season

How can anyone have played this game long enough to have a silver or even gold portrait? What drives these people to play this game for so fucking long? The gold portraits are especially concerning. I just came across a player who had over 1k hours sunk into the game. Is it depression? Playing Overwatch full time and not getting paid for it just sounds unbelievably sad.

>>169782793
>disliking support heroes
>>169782775
Pretty good on that with her passive

>>169777408
She's fundamentally shit, so, barring deleting ana, or making res a 8 sec ability, she will never be in the meta again

There should be a fucking captcha thingy where you have to answer shit like this before you can play comp.

Actually, if this one thing finally got to your retarded minds, I would be happy.
- Watch the fucking kill feed
- watch the fucking kill feed
- act accordingly
- watch the kill feed

Why the fuck do you keep pushing if the healer / tank is dead? Why aren't you falling back while you can and instead continue an already lost engagement?
Fucking develop game/map awareness already, it's march 2017 already.

>>169779756
Makes perfect sense. You performed well, so you should have no problem shredding through the tiers.
People that performed poorly, need to git gud so best to expose them to a harsher environment.

>>169782927
Fact is the average person wastes over 6 hrs a day watching tv, masturbating or checking facebook.
Imagine if you unlocked your hidden humsn potential you too could have a gold portrait.

i'm glad there's more bastions now (read: in every game) cause I enjoy Lucio - Bastion dialogue.
