Uh...what? What on earth is supposed to be the point of damage dealing characters if they're supposed to automatically lose to tanks? Reapers entire schtick is anti-tank.

Whoa..easy tiger. I never said automatically lose. Just that tanks should be winning one on one's with most dps

I need to get out of Gold as soon as possible. Depressing stuff.

47 SR from a 3-0 win there. Decent.

SR is so random, some games you get like 20 points, others near 50. I just got 89 points for one game there. Would love to be know how they calculate it.

I think the underdog thing is still in play. Trouncing a team helps, surely. Then maybe individual performance.

That's a good idea point, I never pay attention to the team rank.

Streaks seem to be big factor in SR amount. 3+ wins in a row and you'll see big jumps.

Got up to 3425 and then dropped to 3405 earlier. Gonna make a big run at Masters tomorrow.

Yeah I think your right, my next game I got 120SR for a win.

Zillah

Your SR change depends on how much difference there is between each team's SR. If they are lower than you you don't gain much; if they are higher that you you gain quite a bit.

That's neither how the game was designed nor how it plays out.

Any Ana mains in here? Looks like she's getting a nerf.

DeadlyByDesign

5 wins 5 losses last night finished got placed at 1230 SR. Finished last season with 1500 odd. Played primarily with Rhein/DVA/Winston (Remember him?:))

Struggle is real again this season. Feck it, I can climb again.

I don't care about this nearly as much as it might seem based on this thread,

Some great games last night. Best move was defending Numbani, just as the payload is about to reach the end point. Swooped into the middle of the blood bath as Mercy, pulled off a 4 man rez and managed to stay alive long enough to damage boost/heal our way out of trouble. Pretty annoyed when captain aimbot got PoTG though -_-

So if no Orisa today (on consoles)? Is it safe to say it'll more than likely be next Tuesday?

Given the Bastion nerf is coming along with her (afaik), I am quiet happy to continue to take a break from the game for a further ~week.

People can wax lyrical about how to deal with Bastion at X, Y or Z levels of play in A, B or C circumstance, but frankly, him in his current form has made the game not fun for me, so i'll wait for the nerf.

Anna nerf seems a bit extreme.

I'm liking the Sombra translocator cool down reduction and the Winston barrier change. Zen's is good as well.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh

DeadlyByDesign

Jayziz Ana got hammered?! Pour one out for the Ana mains.

Think I will take a break as well till Bastion gets fixed. The only reason I won any games last night was because I was shielding Bastion while the rest of the DPS got their jollies off the scraps he couldnt hit. Crazy stuff

I only occasionally play as Junkrat in QP but was that a problem for people? Don't recall ever damaging myself with his nadez

In confined spaces it was always a risk. You'd fire, have an unlucky ricochet and get a boom to the face.

Very rarely in a small room against someone. Still good news for us J-Rats.

papu

ah balls, RIP Ana... as battle healer.

I guess it'll be interesting to see how the meta shifts around these changes and the new character.

As long as they don't to anything to Anas sleep dart I'll be ok

Also Lucio Boops at 3600SR....

Aww man, I played Ana a lot, I really liked that she had a chance of defending herself. Lucio can boost away, Mercy can bloody fly, Zenyatta is practically dps - if Ana misses the sleep dart she is boned. You've got to hit a 200hp character four times before they go down now

Sombra and Winston buffs are good. Not quite the buff I was looking for with Sombra but I'll take it.

Doesn't seem to have been any mention of a D.Va fix on the Blizzard forums over the last few days. Wonder if there's a hold up with it.

Jeff had said last week that it would be ready either friday gone or today
