"I have FOUR GOLDS"

You're moira bro

or roadhog, omegalul

though roadhog is kind of a godsend to solo queue. The biggest way to expose your your teammates tho is when you have gold in something you shouldn't. I got gold damage on Rialto with Rein yesterday. Wanna guess which heroes our DPS were using? fukin aids brah.

i really hate the current state of OW

the last few patches just make it progressively less fun to play

Seems like this patch is decent. At least they buffed McCree and brought Mercy down a peg. But I've only played for 2-3 months so what do I know.

Meanwhile I'm ecstatic about a soldier buff. Time to get some payback on pharah

The biggest misconception players can have is getting a gold medal and think they're carrying or doing their part. It's better than getting nothing, but when the game is at a deadlock and we could be doing better if you'd just switch your stupid ass to a second healer or someone with some utility, you're basically holding the team back.

I was totally guilty of this, LOL. I've since changed my outlook and actually get on mic to try and communicate with randoms. Was always used to playing with a group, so my Junkrat was really effective.

Frustrated with Symmetra, Tracer, Sombra and Mei lately. Pretty sure it's me, but seems like I'm having more trouble dealing with them than in other seasons.

Tfw when all my homies went to NYC to see the grand finals tonight... **** I should have gone

[CaliSuperSport]

I don't understand how people can be level 1000 and yet completely suck at this game.

I'm buying a mic. Just can't deal with teammates playing so lax anymore.

Just went on a 5 game win streak to climb outta trash silver, then lose 4 straight when I break 1900. Noticeably worse teammates when I closed in on gold.

Fun stuff.

You gotta fill at lower elo's if you want to rank up.

On my new account I had to play support only until I got back up to masters atleast, even though I was GM DPS.

Too many DPS trolls so you gotta carry with tank or support unfortunately with randoms

Brigitte has replaced Symm as the cancer. She's still fun af to play though.

Not sure how I feel about Sombra right now. I like that she can't cap while invisible, but I also liked the timer on that ability.

Difference between playing to play and playing to improve.


I don't play enough anymore to want to get to diamond (I wouldn't play enough in that elo anyway and just decay back down), I'm content in plat.

Pretty crazy how much money is in that. I watched LoL LCS right after and then went to DOTA. On DOTA they're literally chillin on couches in someone's house calling the game, lol.

I'm actually totally cool with back fill. But most my matches no one even discusses comp, so I'll pick tank.

The amount of players in silver that just try and 1v6 tho is ridiculous. Plus all the usual bullchit like one tricks and throwers.

1v6 never stops, but it becomes less prevelent over time. Be strong.

Thanks. Ranked in this game has been 1 step forward and 2 back. Lots of pitfalls but I can tell I'm getting better. Orisa is my best hero right now.

tfw you shoot a game saving barrier on d.va's self destruct.

Grats on 3.2k btw.

Feel the same. Was about to break 2500 and have been careful who I've been playing with and bring in one guy in Canada that has a bad history with a Cali friend. My buddy invites him and I'm hoping he's cool and respects that the invite was from the guy he beefs with and instantly he becomes toxic, talking about having to carry my friend who is a good tank. They allow him to stay and we have our Mercy who we always run with successfully, but he gets her to switch off so he can heal when we start losing and mid game he switches off Mercy without telling anyone to run Brigette... SMH, it was all bad and I'm down in the 2300s again.

Damn I'd have zero tolerance especially if you're inviting the guy. Just boot him before you even start because it only gets worse.

But dude I've dropped from 2152 to 1670.....out of those losses a good 25% had leavers, then more with throwers. Aside from that it's the usualy circus show. Today I had a Tracer one trick into Pharmercy and McCree. Tactically I'm better than 1670 and my aim is catching up too. Comparing this to my other ranked game, League, most people know more or less wtf they're doing in my rank. At least enough to not stay in a hard counter and die repeatedly.

Climbing this game is tough but sadly it's not always down to skill unless you are far, far above that SR. Like I see Diamonds and Masters climb outta these ranks EZ. I've seen other people in the 3k Range also complain about massive drops in SR though due to the above.

shiddddd man toss me an add

madamada#11657 , I float around 2500-2600 on that account.

I don't play a whole lot lately (until dive comes back, armorwatch is killing my vibe) but I still pop in for a few matches here and there.

Will do man. Don't remember my btag offhand but I'll add you. Hopefully you don't get dragged down with us though, lmao.

I've never been above 2200 though just FYI.

[ThatOneLurker]

all good man

I don't mind dropping down if it happens

It's happened before when I played with my high silver/low gold friend

Solo queing by myself always brought me back up lol

The SR system in this game is pretty spot on



edit: one time I played on my friends account to get him out of bronze and from there he was able to climb all the way through silver

Bronze is a magical place man... for the 45 minutes I was there


Lucios who don't wall ride, people who don't turn around, crazy place man

I want to play on someone's bronze account just once to see what it's like. It would be a huge dick move, but so fun.

haha it was really fun but he was high bronze so I only had to win a few games for him to be in silver



it's likely people who've never played FPS, have no clue how the game works, piss poor hardware and mechanics, and/or people with disabilities


it was the one and only time I saw a lucio not wall riding at any time, ever

This. I'm 641 and 99% of what I do is Mystery Heroes. I just don't feel like committing to a comp game sometimes (and that's where you improve the most).

[beanietf2]

hovering around 2800 if anyone wants to q, trying to grind to diamond but solo q has been hit/miss lately; typically a pharah/hitscan player, but I can zen/mercy as support pretty well also.

yes, that's for Mr. California RICH PIANA

lol that's exactly how I envision it.

It's the non-gaming dads playing with their 10 year olds or something. Or those people who stand in place while shooting someone.

As many have said, the lower levels are harder to play. People are either new, or just trolling with Smurf accounts which I encounter a lot.

Tilters/Leavers/Throwers has been my biggest hurdle, even more than team skill. So basically gameplay sabotage.

I'm on PC but Muzzlrpress plays console.

I started out on XB1 but it really feels magnitudes better with a kb+m

[JaxBrah]

i play on Xb1
gamertag: Ajax Act 3

my high is 2800 sr but this season im hovering 2400-2500. I was killing it with Sombra and then they nerfed her into irrelevancy again.
