I've been using it through 1,700 and 2,100. It's always going to be a bit of a mixed bag, but it's far far better than solo queuing was.

Mercy imo is the best support so I would advise getting good at her. If you post Mercy gameplay videos I can definitely help you because she's probably the only character I can confidently play a master level these days.
Shadowplay is great, probably the best way to record.

I'm not Andy 
Thanks Scott. Maybe ill try getting back into Mercy play for Ranked.
Brigitte is just so fun though!
Dunno what your talking about mate!.....
(in my defence im due a coffee!)
Hey musty Im playing a combination of brig and mercy and lucio and it's a great way to level up right now. Im maining brig but then switching in some situations. Seems an easy win just picking the right support for the situation. here is a few tips off top of my head.
When attacking on levels with a choke like holywood,kingsrow,Eichenwalde you need lots of healing to push through so brig isn't good a choice. Attacking on these maps mercy is needed but brig is ok in defence.
When you play brig you wanna ask your team mates for rein zarya mercy.
Only play brig if you have good healing, if the other healer picks zen just go mercy instead.
Brigs worst match ups are against phara and doomfist so if the other team are playing either of these switch to lucio or mercy.
Also if other team is playing double sniper switch the brig to either lucio or mercy as there isn't much she can do.
If other team is rocking a tight rein zarya brig you don't wannt play brig, any time you go to bash they will just bubble or counter bash. I like Lucio aginst this.
If the other team has a brig and is out playing you just go lucio and boop her away anytime she comes near your team.
You positioning with brig should be relaxed and a few metres behind your tanks with your shield up and then just move in when you wanna shieldbash/mellee/whip combo then move back.
With mercy just find a decent hanzo or mcree and damage boost him for some quick kills.
Brig can destroy a lot of the characters 1v1 just be patient then push in when needed. You can practice in ffa to get your mellee skills up.
I did post a few videos of brig few pages back not sure if you see them. I can remap a record button and get some more if ya want. https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/threads/overwatch.18635265/page-264
Also with brig always look at knocking them off the map. You can shield bash then side step then whip to send them whatever direction you want. There also places like the stairs next to point on numbani just throw out a long ddstance whip up the stairs and it launches people off the back of the map.

Wow thanks for all of the helpful info!
Yeah I think (hope) im doing most of this with Brigitte already, although i think thinks like knocking and off map kills is something i can brush up on. Map knowledge does seem very important.
Im not a terrible Lucio player either, So maybe ill try pick up on my Mercy skills a bit unranked so i can also look to improve there.

Yeah just to add it's not just edges of the map you wanna knock them off you wanna use your whip to move people out of position. Take Second point on both Hanamura and Temple when your on defence the rein always walks in first with shield up, you can run up shield bash/melee/whip with a side step and push him off the side to low ground leaving his team without tank for 10 seconds while he walks round.
Also this can be used to push people into gravs or ults.
I forgot to say earlier as well brigs ability to see through walls is also really helpful and should be used a lot. Im sure you already know but to do this you just get behind a wall hold your shield up and turn the camera. The other team can't see you but you can see them and it's great for taking out stray dps players.
I will try and grab couple of videos today.

Little video highlight on how to fight people with brigitte and knock them where you want to.
You might notice with the genji I actually walked round him while he was stunned to cover any escape. If he hadn't of died he would have been pushed into the corner where one or 2 more swings would have finished him.

Sure, add me, I'm AndyC15#2763
Don't worry, I'm not too precious about my SR. Although on the hole I'm very competitive and hate losing, when playing Overwatch I don't mind if the team is having fun and communicating and playing together.
A few from the last couple of days highlights POTG etc.
I use my Moira Ult for healing just as much as damage - Sometimes even in situations where I am low on heals, I use it to keep a couple of tanks alive etc - can be a game changer.
Too many Moira's use the ulti for trying to kill others etc and that's a waste a lot of the time.

Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday are good for me...
I'm having a horrible time right now in Comp.. getting 4-5 team m8s constantly that refuses to play anything other than damage roles. usually junk, pharah, soldier 76, reaper and widow..all at the same time.. i've lost a ton of SR the last 2 days due to fools like this, if only they could at least hit their targets(they can't).. i just don't understand why they don't go to quick play instead of comp. If its not an entire team of idiots its always fairly even matched teams but we get a doomfist who thinks he is good but isn't, refuses to switch and feeds the enemy ult causing us too loose. One of those 2 scenarios. I really like the base game but this is just killing my desire to play it which is infuriating since i payed the full 60 dollar sticker price for it. I have no clue to what do about it. I don't have a team of 5 other people who play with. FYI i have no delusions of being perfect or even that good at the game cause i'm not but teamplay is a pretty basic concept most people should have the IQ to grasp if they were not to egocentric. Suggestions are more than welcome. If anyone wants to team up with someone(me) who placed 2245 but are down to 2029 leave a message. I don't mind loosing, i just hate throwers and people who ruins it on purpose for others.
