Overwatch

Just ranked into Gold. Having fallen from glory in Season 5 to as low at 600sr I'm happy with this.

To Platinum I go!!
 
How often do people generally switch character whilst a game is ongoing and not at round end?It doesn't seem like standard practice much on twitch streams however seems to work well once ult is used to mix it up.

I'll switch any time i need to.....Great example last night in a game where on route 66, we got steam rolled all the way to about 20m from final point, 4 of us switched up and we held them off for 6 mins. We then pushed and won the game on offense. Without the switches we would have lost for sure.
 
I tend to switch if we need to. If I have my ultimate I'll try use that before we switch, but I was playing Rein last night, we needed more DPS (and had a fairly good Orisa) so ignored my ultimate to return to Paharah.

Whatever the team needs!
 
Starting to loath competitive again... Hate getting stuck with a 3/4 stack who are just uncooperative and think they can all go dps. Wish there was a solo queue to negate this type of thing from happening as they rarely switch, which means I then have to flex, we invariably lose, and as a result, I lose more SR because I am flexing and not playing my "main".

Lost 11 games tonight, 9 of which were because of the above problem.

/rant over
 
Agreed @sbi5ar, just completed a few comp games, it was shocking.

Ended up doing a quad + 2 kill with no follow up, and a penta kill with no follow up. Seriously, had my mate Zarya grav 5 of them together, I barraged, all dead, they all ran off after the point to chase down a non existant enemy leaving myself and Zarya to stand on the point.

Does my head in!!
 
Will they ever change the rules on leaving matches in comp? If a team member leaves, the entire team suffers an automatic loss unless they can manage to pull through with only 5... It seems stupid to receive a loss if someone leaves.

No that will never change because it would be too easily abused. One guy could take one for the team and save 5 others SR. No competitive game has that feature.
 
Well I finally uninstalled the other night, I love the concept of the game and have put in plenty of hours (almost at silver portrait) but finally had to face up to the fact that I don't have fun playing it (anymore)... Might give it another try at the start of next season after a break :)
 
So the crashing on this game is getting unbearable are they not going to fix this?

I just switched from my 280x which was crashing on any of the newer drivers and took away loads of my comp points. Thought my troubles would be over after switching to nvidia but no just crashed out of another comp match.

Any recommendations on a working nvidia driver?

What they really need to do is sort the game out so people stop crashing then all this leaving wouldn't be happening in the first place.
 
This season is worse than most in terms of people insta locking DPS (solider/hanzo/mcree etc) and being terrible at it! I have no issues with people picking who they want but so many people suck at dps.
 
Finally managed to find a working driver for my gtx 1080. 385.41

Was really annoying me losing all them points on my AMD 280x and thought it would go away switching to nvidia but just lost more points.

Anyway seems to be working now got my self back into plat.

Happy I can finally play overwatch again.

Just lost two games because of insta-lock triple DPS (mcree/hanzo/torb) meaning I have to flex as tank/heal - we then lose the fight and I get penalised more because I flex and I'm not playing my main...

/sigh another day another rant.. Problem is, I don't know what they could do about this, if anything.
 
I think the new triple dps meta works out quite well for me and the way I play. I play a lot of sym so if the enemy team only has 1 tank that is a lot of squishy for sym to melt. Also if my team has triple dps and I'm sym then shield gen is really good.

If I'm on attack I normally just play mercy and she is so overpowered now that solo healing 3 dps is pretty easy.

I think right now mercy is a must for every team. I played all day yesterday and found that pretty much any team worked as long as mercy was on it.

Ranked up about 350 points yesterday.

I should probably add to this.... the triple dps I was grouped with sucked. If you have triple dps that can play dps then they will melt most other teams as you can focus the other teams support heros and then you win the fight.
 
I’ve decided to start maining winston for a change up. Managed to go up 200 sr last night. One game I have 53 kills as monkey.

He’s so good against healers and genji alike.

Up to 2100 ish now. Dropped from 2180 down to 1700 but now back up somewhat.
