Overwatch

I agree that using charge sparingly is the best policy (however, I don't always follow my own advice!)... that said, had some good games with @imginy playing Mei, setting up an ice wall just behind opponent that gave me a safe charge and nearly 100% hit rate.
 
If you can get a pin in close proximity to a wall or something its great to use. It's the YOLO charges into the back lines that get me every time.

But some times you get lucky....

First point is excellent for throwing people off the back with a Rein charge!
 
Game is infuriating at the moment. Seems like lots of people playing their off roles in games and just being totally useless. People not switching when being countered hard. Junk and Doom into Pharah was one example from last night. McCrees and Widows who couldn't hit a cow's **** with a banjo. ARGH!

Edit: And lets not forget the infamous DPS MOIRA!
 
Feel your pain... it's even worse down in silver. I don't claim to be a great player, obviously, but some of my teammates really don't have a clue... lots playing Ana but can't aim, DPS Moira (lost four in a fight last night, then Moira popped ult trying to solo win vs 6 :eek: ), a game that Ana nano'd during the walk to Hanamura second point with no opposition in site, double sniper DPS (not great in silver!), constant trickling into fights or other tank (Zarya or Sigma) playing flanker... for the first time ever I'm starting to lose the enjoyment, at least not loving playing tank right now. I've always been a solid gold player and never dipped near silver for more than a couple of games after a bad placement, but right now I'm at ~1600SR and just can't get back up. Thinking about maining Moira this season to change things up. Could go back to Reaper, but long q times are off putting. Would welcome any help getting out of my current funk.
 
It's a struggle mate. Same in Plat. I'm normally a solid 2.8K tank/support player but I can't even buy a win at the moment. On the bright side, at least you can choose to play a role to mix it up. Might take a break for a while unless I can get some consistent group going. Played with imginy last week and that was enjoyable. This terrible meta doesn't help either. I just love being CC'd for 10 seconds at a time and then dying.

I will be on at the weekend (like most saturday nights) so feel free to drop me a message to play. Mosly around 2.3k on most roles, but as we all know a co-ordinated duo or trio is much easier to win on.

I have been busy last couple of weeks.

Give it another couple of weeks and I will be playing again.

Cheers, Sat nights are usually a no-go for me as I save that for wife time. Friday nights are usually best for me as I can play much later. I'm sure we can work something out.

Feel your pain mate, I remember what silver was like and was playing in silver on another account with a friend and boy it hasn't changed. DPS Moira's are prevalent at every rank. I've not been enjoying playing tank at any rank (I have accounts at diamond, plat, gold and silver for playing with friends) and I was a tank main. Role queue is definitely good for the game but Blizzard does need to break the double shield meta, Sigma's shield needs a cooldown.

Still I love the game, and just can't seem to play anything else when I do game.

Role queue is great in principle but with there being no real separation of Role SR it's very frustrating playing with people playing their off roles who don't belong at that SR. DPS Moira/Ana, Reddit Lucio, MC HammerReins and flankHog are symptoms of this in a way.

Double shield meta and Doomfist can do one as well! :D
