Overwatch

Hi all.

Going to go through the thread and try to add people.

chefborjan#2278

Need to fix my mic, but still keen on joining regular teams for some competitive. I'm currently around 2350...
 
banksy#21889

Trying to get into this as valve keep destroying my baby.
Is there a online google doc spreadsheet of usernames and ranks?

lvl 16 at the mo so trying to grind it out to get to comp and get used to the different heros.

I'll be about most of the day if anybody wants to add me, I'm good with comms and teamwork

edit - I'm not being lazy by asking you to add me its just better as you know I'm a newb and there's no point me adding the experts that won't want to play with me =o)
 
Season 2 makes me rage so much.

In season 1 I never had a person intentionally leave or afk because they were idiots and didn't want to team play. Never had people throw a game by being morons and jumping of edges and such; or the amount of people who don't chat/voice.

9 wins last night, 6 losses, 4 of those losses had the aforementioned leavers/afkers.
I feel like the game is purposely putting me in games with idiots who don't know how to play and I don't understand how it thinks I'm /that bad/. (27xx rank)

People getting picked, constantly running ahead of the team and dying because they think it's COD and they can solo an entire enemy team. Complain when I don't nano boost them even though 30 seconds prior I said on team chat "Genji, I'll nano boost you when we meet up, oh he isn't in voice".

He runs in, ults alone, dies and types in chat that I'm all sorts of crap under the sun. :|
Also people tunnel vision too much, they'd rather stand and die then fall back, heal up and keep on fighting; or they don't stand near the point or cart. I feel like at times I'm playing with people who should be bronze D:

When you try nicely tell them to help defend the healer, fall back for heals, protect the objective or change class because I can't because I'm a healer and nor can tanks...they get in a hissy fit and ruin the game.

First week of S2 was amazing though, lots of nice, chatty, team playing people then it all went to hell. :(
 
It's usually the DPS that ruins in, because there are so many people that "main" a DPS character and refuse to/can't play any other character.

Hey guys, we don't need 4 DPS....

/I need healing!
*100m away behind 50 walls when the enemy flankers are on your butt.*

I begged and begged last night for a DPS to switch to counter the enemy tracer but they wouldn't, argued "I'm a flanker I can't deal with her" when they kept running in and dying over and over.
I said, please - I can't heal the rest of the team if I keep having to defend/run/die. "F you" was the response. :/

Queue enemy tracer back lining me, pushing me into our spawn 8 times so I can heal up while the entire rest of my team is derping around not helping. I always protect my healers when I play :(
 
Hi guys, feel free to add. Solo queue is too much of a mixed bag and it's no longer fun!

I'm 26, got a skill rating of ~2600 after placement games. Looking for some chilled people to game in competitive mode with. Used to play CS a few years back but don't really have any online friends anymore :(

Roadhog, Mcree or Mei should be able to shut her out.

As there seems to always be a mcree on the team now, Its worrying that she was left to do that.

Support your support or you get no support.

Game becomes much easier once you keep your back line clear of trouble. Plus, you get to pick on the players over extending (Tracers, reapers, monkeys, Genjis, the occasional McCreeps and Meis), giving you a numerical advantage, and works as a deterrent.

I guess that kind of forward thinking and team play goes over most player's heads.
 
A really good tracer is by far the most annoying thing an opponent can have (at the level I play). A really good Mei is probably second.

I think McCree or Roadhog are good picks for dealing with her. Junkrat can do well too if he knows where to pop his trap/mine combo, but it's harder.

There's a fine line between "defend the back line better" and "get on the bloody point" - if you ever need to check where that line is, I'll be on the wrong side of it.
 
To be honest lately I think the biggest mistake the group I play with have been making (and probably random groups I've solo'd with sometimes as well) is simply not focusing down targets properly...

This leads to the situation where one of you has gold eliminations on "1" or "2" about a minute into the match and the enemy team just don't seem to be dying... A bit more co-ordination and having someone call out which enemy player the whole team should concentrate on killing asap can go a long way

There's always a balance, but helping your support even a little goes a long way. If your support can't even get to the point, then there's something wrong elsewhere. And Lucio should be in the middle anyways, fighting for the point, but then he is the most survivable support.
 
Had a few absolute beast-mode games as Zen last night, started following a tip I saw someone say on reddit about positioning (as Zen, but maybe applicable elsewhere) - "if you can see more than 2 of the enemy or less than 4 of your own team; you're in a bad position"... it sounds so simple but in practice I felt like it was a useful way of sensing when and where to be... Had a few games where I went 32:2 and 38:1 plus 50%+ kill participation and a huge amount of assists (it helped that the team were properly responding to flankers coming after me when I called them out too)
 
Have lost only 1 of my last 15 games... Starting to get concerned every time I queue up now xD

Playing Ana pretty much constantly unless we're lacking a main support. People appreciate her a lot more then they did what with the rise of the new Ana comp meta being a thing. She's just so good! Even won a few games as solo support. I think her ult will be due a nerf in the coming patches for sure.

This. Been playing with a guy recently who pretty much mains Zen and he's ALWAYS on team voice chat calling out discorded targets. For me, it's THE MOST important and easy to coordinate form of PuG teamwork alongside ult charge reporting.

A lot of people say 'I'm playing really well, I just don't understand why I'm not climbing ladder'. It's just flat out the wrong attitude to have. Thinking you can or are carrying your team is what leads to this weird sort of entitlement Overwatch players have. Seems stupidly obvious to keep saying, but even the most basic level of team work will up your win rate.
