Yup. After finding out you can hook a riptyre the hard way I can sympathise.

Don't know if anyone has seen this before, but here are the faces behind the voices:

Lost a Mystery Heroes on Oasis earlier and near threw my controller through the window. We were tied 1-1 and the final match was in the one with the jump pad. For the entire... f*cking... match we had one guy who stayed on the jump pad. Just up and down... up and down... up and down... died... up and down... up and down... up and down... He was a Genji, Tracer and Roadhog, and I don't think he hit a single f*cking thing.

Also had a Hanzo emoting in the spawn area during a match and a Zarya who left the payload when fighting a Zenyatta allowing him to move it the final 0.5m to win.

Being able to see what your teammates are doing while you're waiting to respawn can be one of the most infuriating f*cking things...

Got a message that my SR had decayed as i hadn't played Competitive in a week, went down 50 SR!

Didn't think it'd be that much.

Panicked and played two matches without warming up and got hosed in both, dropped below 3000 for the first time this season. Serves me right for just playing QP and Arcade but i just haven't got any comp mojo at all recently.

Next season, gonna turn it all around...maybe.

Was a tough weekend for everyone in our group comp wise.

Good to see the Boards contingent is struggling on all platforms

Its still great fun though isn't it. Was playing Doom (which is a pretty awesome game) and even while ripping and tearing demon heads off i was thinking I kinda just want to play some Overwatch...

I've climbed from 2200ish to 2779 but down 20 points now. I might just make diamond before the season end.

95% of my game time is as Boostio.

2500 or so at the moment. I've regressed since season 1

Hovering around 3000, given up trying to get to the next tier and took a break over the weekend to play other games.

Though, I'm mighty tempted to buy some loot boxes, there are a good few year of the rooster skins I want. I'd hate myself for doing it though

Stuck in Silver ~1800 forever. I've accepted my fate. It's who I am.

Considering the value for money that Overwatch is, I don't think a few loot boxes during the special seasons is all that bad.

Yeah, I've definitely got my value's worth from it, I just hate paying for cosmetic stuff as they are ultimately pointless. I also fear I'd be put in the "Will spend money" list and get poor drops as a result. Blizzard don't seem the sort to do that, but you never know.

I'm always really sceptical of things like that too.

I really doubt it - I've caved and bought loot boxes during previous events, and I've got 3 gold skins in about 6 or 7 boxes earned so far this event.

Anyone know when this season ends? Currently trying to claw back from 2880sr, went umpteen games loss streak and landed back at 1600. Grinding hard to get back near where I started, proving tough though!

They don't announce a specific date for when seasons end but it'll be around the end of Feb or beginning of March

That's what happens when you get stubborn trying to get a win on the board when I should have stepped back from the keyboard for a night or two...

I left comp for ages and noticed my SR went for 3200 to 3000 (No issue with it, that's the rules). Just wondering though, if I went below 3000 and left comp again for a while, how long would it take to drop to 2500?

I believe it only drops if you are 3000+. So it shouldn't drop below 3000.

Happened to me, think im gonna step away from comp for a day or 2 as I am in try hard mode right now. Fell to 1375 last night. Only had a season high of 1700, but still stings.

Solo queuing on the PS4 is painful, a bunch of loan warriors most of the time especially at the lower end of the scale, best not to worry too much about SR down here.
