    Today was the complete opposite of yesterday.

    This was my 3rd game, had already lost the previous 2.
    This was the team...that set out about DEFENDING !!!....I knew it was gonna be a nightmare from the start.
    I don't even play healers...but had to for the sake of it....
    Fckin game ! You'd expect it in QuickPlay...but....

    Oh...and the message in chat...
    It's MCREE : There is no proper dealer on our team....so I'll go McCree

    I Laughed heartily at that :) I went through a phase last season where I got an awful lot of Hanzo/Widow on attack and defence. The match where we had a hanzo, widow and Ana was the last straw and I took a week break.

    Well tbh I made a similar face when you kept telling me to switch to Lucio when attacking Eichenwalde, despite us already having a Mercy and another healer.

    Out of 12 hours played this season in Comp

    D.va - 6 h
    Junkrat - 4 h
    Lucio - 28 mins
    Orisa - 28 m
    Mercy - 21 m
    Zenyatta - 9 m
    Winston - 7 m

    The other ~20 mins is split between Mei, Hanzo, Soldier 76, Pharah, Ana, Genji and Rheinhardt

    You can blame me for making bad picks as long as you want tbh. You'd swear people were competing for top 500 the way they react when someone picks outside of their own perceived pool of what's okay to pick.

    We easily won that match on Eichenwalde, opponents didn't even realise there was someone on point. And yet the focus was on me because I played Genji for the 2 minutes the match took.

    **** platinum anyway I'm getting absolutely mauled. Dead with mercy every 10 seconds. My team cracking up, had to leave the chat uurgh

    Yep that's it totz.

    nothing to do with 6 matches in a row where you never threw one ult because you, kept changing character every time you died -_- not one single ult.

    refuse to D.va in comp because your sick of her, yet go to quick play and pick d.va because there's no point practicing in quick play, i`ll practice in comp.

    pick pharah and die 11 times 0 kills, finally get ult changes to lucio.
    dies once changes to junk rat gets 1 kill then dies and switches back to pharah.

    then blame the dps for not healing themselves as we have a reaper and soldier.

    all fine no biggie...

    goes solo que and plays mercy and d.va.

    you do you totz you do you.

    congratz on gold tho and good luck staying there.

    Yeah, there's where your argument falls down. I've never refused to play as D.va in Comp as long as nobody else wants to play her

    My stats and time played per character this season don't reflect those bull**** numbers you've plucked from thin air.

    6 matches in a row with no ult? lol

    Played Orisa mostly today actually but whatever, why would I not pick x character in solo? Not sure why you're trying to be such a pain about it anyway

    Take it to 1V1.

    Lemmie watch.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,357 ✭✭✭papu


    What would posses someone to wall players into their own spawn with 60seconds left , and the game very close to being won.
    http://plays.tv/video/59519bf2ca5de191c2/toxic-mei-walling-us-into-spawn-with-60-seconds-left-

    next game we had someone kill themselves over and over again in some kind of protest leaving it 5vs6.

    screw this

    Yup on PC, next game we had a snowflake who switches to TB and then leaves after our mercy asked him to stop over extending and dying ...


    edit; then a one trick widow who was awful. lost that too.


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


    I love when the Blizzard Matchmaking Gods are smiling on you. Won 4 in a row. Lost 3 then and have less Sr than I started with, I think. Great aul system.

    Dragged my sorry ass into gold last night after placing in bronze at the start of the season. I feel like my work is done but will be interesting to see how much farther up the ladder I can get.

    It will get a good bit tougher in gold especially if your solo playing. Who's your main?

    D:VA, once I started maining her I shot up through silver. Yeah I'm expecting to hit a wall at some point soon where the wins stop coming so easily.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,283 ✭✭✭fixXxer


    Had one game of comp last night and played the Mercy game of my life on Nepal. Rezing like Jesus, dodging bullets like Neo. I may never play Mercy again after that.


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


    Anyone on PC in need of an very experienced Tank or Support/Healer or Pharah?
    Finally got set up properly with a headset, discord and a new Razer Deathadder Chroma arrived today
    Been plowing away at QP Solo but it is cancerous with the absolute cr@p people pick.

    Me child is actually sleeping for more than 3 hours straight now, so MIGHT be able to risk coming online (sticking to offline games at the mo in case im called away), so what have I missed? Any dramas? Much salt? I know you guys miss me. How are D.Va and Rein nowadays? D.Va was in a bit of a limbo towards the tail end of season 3


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

    Dive Comp is in (still?)
    Teams are less focused on Rhein cause they are less "static", Dva is still good->great
    Reaper is class
    Insta-Lock Hanzo persists with randoms
    If 3 of your team are not Tanks + Healers combined, you're gonna have a bad time
    Getting rolled by teams who actually pick meta-heroes or heroes depending on the map and mode continues - More to come in Season 7
    Everyone placed considerably worse, yet climbed back to where they were after a few games.

    Eh speak for yourself there boyo, I was up from 1500ish to 1876 this season after placements :P

    Really? Had a feeling this would happen at some stage, is this because Orissa keeps folks a bit more mobile?

    Nope, tracer is very good at the moment so I would imagine its more to do with that but generic will be able to explain better.

    Orisa actually has a function now yeah, and she does it handy enough.

    But with the move to fast heroes, Rhein is just a big target. Teams now are focusing on Winston + DVa + Lucio + Genjo + Soldier + Healer

    Now, granted those are "Pro" players/stats etc


  • Registered Users Posts: 853 ✭✭✭DeadlyByDesign



    Teams now are focusing on Winston...

    I know right?
    Watching 20 mins of OW Youtube videos a day is starting to pay off :D
    Thankfully Pharah and Zarya are both decent Winston "counters"


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 18,582 Mod ✭✭✭✭Kimbot


    Thankfully Pharah and Zarya are both decent Winston "counters"

    Reaper makes bits of him now too and in some cases tracer can cause mayhem with winston due to zipping out and winston not having his jump charged by the time she gets far away.


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


    Was playing a bit of Reaper last night on PC, he's a beast now alright. Really lives up to his "Tankbuster" profile
