Overwatch - Blizzard's latest game

J. Marston

This evening will be fun. Week old Doomfist mains showing everyone what they can do in comp.

Me too if I can instalock him quick enough.

2-2 on Ilios... close enough game, 20 minutes in... aaaaaaaaaand we have a leaver.

Worse still ..next game I;m with a french 4 stack... -________________-

Canis Lupus

I'm super interested in seeing what he's gonna be like in comp. He's definitely got to be useful on defence modes although he's a bit big so focused fighting might see him get blapped a lot.

Nothing like an evening of Mei trolls and lvl 30 no star doomfists to make you want to quit ranked forever.

Don't say that....I need 1 more win (26 SR)...to get my account to plat.
But they've been givin me between 24-26 SR lately...so I expect they will put me on 2499 if I win....then I'll head over to fail town for a ride on the losing streak train


Update : Went on, played 1 QP to get the fingers warmed up. Into a game, straight away...Doomfist on each team. Luckily ours changed, theirs didn't . We steamrolled em on Volskaya. But...I got 21 SR...to put me at 2495

Next game...stressed by these 5 SR...as we all know how bad losing streaks can go.
Game starts, Hanzo is insta locked on attacking Route 66, but he's ok...we push to the end.
Defending, he changes to Doomfist...I politely ask him to change to Hanzo...he does. We managed to hold at final point.

I finally get to plat with 23 SR, after what seems like weeks of ups and downs.

198 Played
107-86 (5 Draws)

I hadn't played OW much before this season..in Comp anyways. I used to just play my placements and then go back to QP or other games.
I got placed at 1816 at the start of Season 4.

I think I'll leave that account where it is for the mo and go to my other one in the US as it's less stressful.

It's so satisfying to get a play of the game where you made a real difference.

That's super interesting.

I'd love to see Blizzard's internal secret MMR data comparing various regions - obviously they'd never show it but i'd say they've some fascinating info on the relative skill difference between EU/NA/Asia etc.

If noone is watching, Korea is playing/just played in the World Cup and gave a masterclass.....basically gonna sweep this tournament.
The level difference is ridiculous.

Yeah, saw some of the game against Austria. They're not even another level up, they are multiple levels up. Seriously impressive stuff.

It's not even fun to watch. I shouldn't be feeling sorry for the 'BEST PLAYERS' of another country, but honestly...the games are over so quickly.

Like, their management of Ult's and positioning is just :eek:.

Letting Austria push up to try reclaim the payload, destroying them and just pushing it further than they would have if they'd fought on it. Seriously top notch

Most satisfying two minutes of play I've ever had in Overwatch. Was playing absolutely awful with Reaper and Soldier. DPS and didn't even have a medal for eliminations (I would've gladly changed but tanks and healers were locked down) and their Genji was taking the piss out of me for 4 rounds. Was being completely carried. Tilted and picked Junkrat...

Marston will be happy to see some of the most ridiculous and amazing Junkrat plays ever by Flow3r !
Game 4...watch and Enjoy Marston...you can now justify picking Junkrat 4 life !

J. Marston

Koreans ain't got nothing on my Junk skillz.

SeantheMan

Aside from the stupid mismatched game......the studio is absolute SH1T compared to the arena/conference hall Australia put on.
This is what....a small studio...you can hear the echo of someone coughing. It's pathetic on Blizzard's part....they want this to be a huge showcase.
How can they go from Oz ...and the huge crowd chants.....to this ?!
Also , well done Canada...stick it to Erdongan :P

I'm probably going to do my placements in Korea now just for the craic, see where in Bronze I end up

Anything over 200 ping is unplayable.
Try US...get high easy !

So just now...showing the Singapore roster...they showed 1 guy...who has no name... N/A ...who isn't even from Singapore or on the Singapore team ?!

Digital Solitude

Is he the goalie?

J. Marston

10 minutes ago. Knocking PharMercy out of the sky...

Your move, Korea!

SeantheMan

Why would you not be watching the OW World Cup...as a huge fan of the game ?

J. Marston

eSports does nothing for me.

I can only watch for 10 minutes before get a headache tbh. It's too hectic

IvoryTower

Was defending on route 66 at the last point, our symetra puts a portal down. I'm thinking, should have put a shield down cause we spawn beside the point anyway. Hop into it anyway. He had it at the very start of the level 😂 that's a first for me!

Got my first star. woo

Yep, doesn't work at all as a spectator sport imo.

Do you play on console out of curiosity?

IvoryTower

Where can I watch these matches

Digital Solitude

Twitch for live games, YouTube if you missed it

J. Marston

Lost a game on Anubis where we both captured 75.5% of point B.

Load of balls. If they don't show the percentage to 4 or 5 decimals places then it shouldn't be used to determine who wins.

Grayditch

I'd imagine that's rare enough, though.

Took 4 days and a lot of solo grinding to try for a new career high up grouped with lads last night lost 100 Sr in 40 minutes. Lost two really close games but still feeling good as it was a good close games, queing for next game 3 odd mins of queing I hear the lads go aaah no **** off, still seeing us queing I go what then timer stops and go to main screen server error in corner of screen I had been booted without match even starting no rejoin option 50 Sr penalty and 10 min ban.

Actually still miffed about it all day, sad I know but there you go.
