    The guy who voices McCree sometimes plays, and has stated that he sometimes goes "It's high noon!" over the mic to freak people out.

    New Sombra buff: you can see hacked health kits through walls. I think more than anything this will help remind people that she is contributing, and can take advantage of the hacked packs.

    Playing sombra on ptr at the moment she is a beast!

    You have to call it a day if things are going bad. I lost four on the bounce in a three stack the other night and all three of us were making silly mistakes/tilt in the last two games.

    Played Monday solo and won three in a row because I was more focused.

    Yeah it is easy to keep going when you're tired and frustrated. Chances are you are not playing your best.

    I was off today.. nowt to do.. "let's overwatch".. went on good run, had lunch.. "feck it, it's only 12" lost so many T_T

    Happens to me a bit. I have a golden rule of stepping away for a short while if it was a bad loss; go to the toilet, make tea or something. If a few losses in a row, step away altogether.

    I abandoned that principle recently and ended up with a 1250 rating from placement.

    Also, playing hungover is a terrible idea. I play absolute garbage.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,347 ✭✭✭✭Grayditch


    3 losses in a row. Like total beatdowns. I'd love to know how or why it works like that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,816 ✭✭✭Benzino


    There are few things better than entering beast mode as Zarya and melting people!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,386 ✭✭✭✭J. Marston


    Get a 4 rez on point B of Volskaya. Other team's Mercy gets a 3 rez and gets POTG.

    What's the science behind this?!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,347 ✭✭✭✭Grayditch


    Has the distance that defenders are considered to be affecting/contending the payload gotten smaller, or am I going mad?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,367 ✭✭✭✭My name is URL


    They're undoing the PTR change that allowed for Zenyatta to penetrate barriers with discord orb.

    His primary and alt fire are gonna have zero spread though

    Decided to give 1v1 another go last night. Won the match but had the worst sniper battle I've ever seen. Two Widowmakers standing still bullets whizzing past our ears for about a minute before I landed a headshot.

    Sniping just isn't for me -_-

    Wisdom.

    I'm at the stage where i'll play at least 3/4 games beforehand to warm up and if i'm not feeling sharp enough i won't even try Comp.

    Strange. I thought that change was negligible.

    Zen Discord's through the Rein barrier and your Pharah pops up behind and kills him before he can react. It's a bit to strong and there's no counter so i can see why they reversed it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 853 ✭✭✭DeadlyByDesign


    I am being very conservative with my comp matches this season. If I am not feeling it or not performing well after 1 or 2 I call it early.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,870 ✭✭✭✭Generic Dreadhead


    I'll give comp a go again once they sort out Console with whatever is going on in the PTR and when they release Orisa


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 853 ✭✭✭DeadlyByDesign


    Cant wait for Orissa, she/it seems right up my street

    I have heard that the algorithm pays attention to whether it was a random no where fight or a desperate battle on the control point.

    Seems like an unlikely scenario tbh. Pharah would be getting killed rather fast if out of position and surely she wouldn't be able to kill Rein that quick even with +30% damage. Rein still regularly drops his shield to do fire strike anyway.

    Maybe I'm wrong since they are repealing this change.
