Mercy's "Huge Rez" Achievement (for the chibi spray) has been updated (on PTR) from "Resurrect 4 players at once" to "Resurrect 6 players without dying".

So two seasons ago I was in ello hell, spend most of last season in it too till i met two others, been playing since, ended in plat, and am in plat this season already. You need at least two others for this game to have a chance of climbing unless you wanna solo imo ( on pc)

I've done better any time I've solo queued. Play 6 games with my discord group last night, lost 4 won 2. Went solo afterwards to finish placements and won the remainder. Ended up 2465 however the fook I've managed it having finished on 1800 and 2200 in previous seasons! Better joy solo queuing for some mad reason.

This is my experience too, I seem to get put in more difficult matches when queuing with a group.

If your in a six stack the match making tries to place you against other six stacks, the same goes for all other groups.

I'm abandoning Junkrat.

Seriously fun, especially with the buffs but I've got a 38% win with him from 3 hours played this season. Think I only had a 46% win with him last season too with loads of time on him. Probably the reason I've gone from 3300-ish consistently to struggling to get into diamond this season.

Hi my name is J. Marston and I'm an addict.

First step in recovery bro, one junkrat at a time, we're all supporting you.

Advent you're welcome to join but some of them are bronze so it might not be good for your stress levels

Are you on XBOX? I thought i already had all the xbox people added...

Always up to play and don't care what people's skill level is in QP and Arcade which is what i play 90% of the time.
Finished placements at 3227 i think so wouldn't be able to queue with bronze in comp unfortunately.

It's Gunnerdrog, that your best ever?

J. Marston · 03-09-2017 7:26pm

You need 3 or 4 people focusing that fat asshole, Roadhog, to put him down now.

I must have missed a patch. What is different now?

Takes 50% less damage when self healing and can move while healing.

He is a complete nuisance, so difficult to kill. IMO he is a bit too strong now and requires a bit too much focus to put down.

J. Marston · 03-09-2017 8:33pm

Tanks should survivability but not that much.

He's not capable of doing much killing himself though and has no shields or armour.

I keep starting my OW sessions planning on some junkrat shenanigans. I only get to play him in about 1 in 10 games though. Often, the team comp lacks tanks and healers so I end up playing Orisa, D.Va or Zen. Other times someone else picks him and it's rarely a good junkrat. I think people will get better with him when they get used to his kit and the beauty of the mayhem that he can create.

That being said, I'm having a great time with Zen. He's a badass mofo and a lot of fun to play. His damage output is crazy and discord really messes people up. Winston is the only character that effectively counters him.
I've been playing him the most for the past few weeks.

Orisa is also very good on most maps. I thought she was underrated before her buffs but now she's incredibly effective in chokes. Her halt is extremely powerful. I got a potg yesterday by dropping three people into the well on Ilios. Mobile flankers like tracer are a pain though.

I find reaper destroys him, Anna nade him, junk can ruin his life. He still goes down quick, just don't fire while he's healing and you are fine

Sight808 · 03-09-2017 10:09pm

I usually tank, and while I can happily stay in diamond Im kind of tired of tanking every game.

Tried experimenting with sombra last season but people go nuts and it just leads to an instant throw. "you sombra.. you lose"

Trying out healing, and really enjoying playing ana but by god is it hard to keep people happy.

Literally 10k healing at point 2 of derado (second round) and tank goes.."ana you're not healing enough"

IvoryTower · 03-09-2017 10:49pm

Hammered in first 3 games as a group of 4. Won the last one easy then when 2 dropped off. Definitely easier solo for me so. Better craic in a group though so I'll just suck it up

Played lucio or mercy as no one else was gonna do it.

.

A reasonable Tracer will mince Zen with one clip and a good Genji with his dash and reflect available usually puts an end to you as well.

Smacking down bad Tracers though is very satisfying.

For those into or maybe not, the Pro scene. Sinatraa has signed to NRG for a whopping 100k salary!

Pretty nuts, NRG have been a shambles since OW started, never fufilling their potential. I'm not really into watchign pro comp matches, be interesting to see how this all works

Oh **** sorry Gunner :pac: We've played QP together a bunch of times.

Hit master last season, and can keep up with that level if i'm on good form but mid diamond is probably a more accurate spot for me.

Poor Pharah

What if roadhog's hooks did additional damage depending on the distance to the target?

If they had to change the hook the only change I would make is to maybe drop 2/3 seconds off the recharge if you miss your hook.
