Why do people feed when it'd 5 or 6 v 1 I mean what do they think is going to happen

Being considerably at the "front" of your group of 6 as (the vast majority of) you respawn and running in and starting an engagement on your own where you get your a$$ handed to you in a 3->6 versus 1 scenario.

Basically you end up on a treadmill where you: Die - Respawn - Run in - Die - Respawn instead of waiting for your team mates to group up with you to combo ults/make a coordination push

Notable examples are usually portrayed by any sort of hero with a modicum of self sustain. Sure they don't need your help, they can do it all :rolleyes:

When you see a Soldier, Mei, Roadhog, D.Va, Zarya or Insta-Genji dead, and you're wondering "where the f**k even were they?". They were feeding, feeding hard

Yeah, generally if you don't get a pick or favorable trade at the start of the fight you should all fall back and regroup as the chances of winning the subsequent engagement are not in your favor.

Caveats include contesting the point where you can run into the grinder continually up to 99% to keep the percentage ticking over for your team. After which you should regroup and make 1 final push to recapture the point and win.

Week left in season 5. Finishing now since decay won't affect me until next week and the final week in a comp season is generally a shítshow. Ending on 3128.

Really want to give Sombra a try next season but I think I'll seriously plummet if I do.

Do it anyway, **** the haters. How else will you improve? She's pretty good in the right hands.

After a few beers I've been known to consider myself a Pro-Sombra

I tried sombra mid season, 32 games... 39% winrate =( lost a boat load of SR.

Can still roll it back with my tanks but I've had to give up on her... amazing found out I'm a very good Ana.

Overall, hated this season, one of the worst experiences ever, always hoping it would get better but it juts got more toxic, more leavers/quitters, crap meta. Didn't play half as much as I did in previous seasons. If this nonense starts in season 6 I'm considering uninstalling the game or just playing super casual in QP.

Kinda hope we get even just one big budget cgi video. The original ones are still jaw dropping.

I'm hoping Zen, tell a bit more of the Omnic story.

That being said i would still be happy with Dva!

"Hmm, we're 2-0 up and hammering the other team. Widow could be the difference in this final round"

I hate other players.

Still above my goal of 2200 so I'll take it

QP is a state, a Widow and Hanzo 2 stack quit, we're joined by none other than a solo queueing Widow and Hanzo

fixXxer

So I guess there won't be an update tonight? Need new Junkrat & Roadhog...

I've never treated QP as serious. If you're playing QP for reals then all it will do is get you mad. I like to pick Ana then focus solely on flanking and putting people to sleep. Then people get mad at me for not healing... I'm a terrible person.....

The changes to comp in the latest Developer Update sound like a pretty solid step forward.

Watched some gameplay videos of Junkertown. Looks like its going to a fun map to play on

Not sure about the KOTH maps been best of 3. If you lose the first round the quitters will be gone straight away.

Probably the weakest short.

I really enjoyed it. Much better than the Sombra one.

Had a nice comp run tonight with various randoms and made good SR gains. Managed to stick with Mercy for the evening.

Lost our last match because one of the morons on our team decided to play as Rein for their first time ever. As soon as she came on mic all the lads on the team were telling her how great a job she was doing; "no, no, don't change" etc. Queue us being steamrolled on Hanamura defence.

I'm still pushing on for 2500 before the season ends. I'll be on the next few days if there's any games going!

Was she a Mercy main? Pretty sure 99% of the girls I hear on mic are Mercy mains.

I don't think she knew what she was tbh. She went with Junk on attack and wasn't too successful.

It was funny; I played two games with a foursome, and on the third game the female voice informs us about her lack of experience with Rein. Only then did the lads who I'd played two games with find their voice. Classic stuff.
