Hungover Solo Queue Comp placements matches was a good way to ruin my Sunday afternoon

Still haven't seen a dupe since they rebalanced loot boxes must have opened 60 loot boxes since and now have average 55 cosmetics on all hereos

So.... thats something good

I swear I have seen duplicates voice lines recently but they don't register as duplicates...

I have gotten a few and on average I only have 23/24 items per char.

Don't get people in this sometimes. On Nepal, won the first round super easy 100-0 with a normal comp. Then for some reason, everyone changes in the second round and we start with Widow, Hanzo and Torb. Predictably lose the next two rounds 100-0.

Fúcking infuriating.

I had me, a 2-stack and a 3-stack in Comp
One of the 3-stack started flashing Rhein/Tank and another started flashing Mercy/Healer
They then locked in Hanzo, Genji and Junkrat uphill on Attack Eichenwald.
I messaged 2 of the 3 seeing of they would change heroes
They did not
Got messages saying "no" and my favourite "no, just watch"
Myself and the 2 stack tried some patchwork comps to alleviate this burden
It didn't work
They picked the same heroes on Defense. We got Rolled.
Sent some strong words over PSN, then blocked them (hehe). Powered off the Game. Shut off the PS4 and went and played Warhammer.
I. Just. Can't. Anymore.

Is there an xbox boardsie group?

Scraped into diamond. Only did it by healing for about 8 games in a row and winning 7 even though I said I wouldn't anymore.

I can only win consistently when healing but I'm so bored of healing but losing sucks too but I like DPS and that's where I lose mostly. The conundrum!

Just do it man, take the hit and grind back by learning dps.

Better off enjoying a low score, its just an e-penis. Wouldn't you prefer enjoying Comp more?

Close enough game on Numbani Defense, we have a Sym who is doing a decent job, nothing stellar but perfectly servicable. They get to just past the underpass before the last point where we hold until the end. Switches to Attack and our (thoroughly mediocre) Soldier starts mouthing off at Sym who has chosen her again for the first point. Dude continues tilting hard until he's politely asked to stop by the rest of the team. "Fine I don't push then." And he starts idling just outside spawn. We fail to take the first point and post-game when our entire team asks for him to be reported he replies "Keeping talking. No ones listening. Noobs".

Perma-banning would be too good for the little prick.

It's not about learning dps it's about trusting that there are other people out there that can play heals properly and you know what, there's not as many as you might think.

Or the usual 3/4 "DPS" characters (I use that vaguely as it includes the incompetent Hanzo, the wannabie Pharah who spends more time on the ground than in the air etc.) locked in the first second of the game...

Don't most high level pharahs stay low a lot of the time? As with good DPS, you're a sitting duck.

I've become reasonably good shooting down Parahs or their Mercy using Zen. Its a great feeling to take out a Pharah

True. I'll use this season as fun DPS practice.

I'm either done with the game, or enjoying this season's comp my way, alright.

My name is URL

The other night I was playing and kinda harshly placed the controller down. Unknowingly hit R2, then X when I picked it up

Had all settings reset to default. Everything like.

Over a years worth of fine tuning gone and no way to roll back on it

I did that. Different mapping and sensitivities for all carachters gone

Pain to fix.

Not sure if there's a designated group but there's a few of us who play a lot - add me (GT is Adventagious) if you haven't already and are looking for a body to play with.

Placements so far done 6 with 4 wins and 2 losses.

1 of the wins was a very narrow one, 5m left for them to push payload. I rush out of spawn, hit a rez, 2 team mates up so we can contest, 1 ults and we manage to win. I love tight games like that

We had a few last night that were horrific to play with, a mercy & lucio that didnt do much healing. A rein/bastion combo that just hadnt a clue what they were doing and all.

Did my placements on Friday, won 5 lost 5, got 1998 (placed bromze last season). Didn't play again until sunday evening, played for a few hours finishing up with a 79% win rate on my main with an SR just shy of 2300.

Hopped on last night, lost 5 in a row. :rolleyes:

Probably won't have the time to push for plat this season with Destiny 2 coming out, so might just have a bit of fun this evening playing dps only.

Not bothering with my rank this season, I cared too much last season and it just got frustrating. Seem to be a lot more unlucky this season with bad teams too.

The way my Pharah thinking goes, I'm staying high but ducking out from behind cover (wall edges & protrusions) - my advantage when flying is that I'm not automatically visible to players scanning the ground.
I also vary my height by boosting up, then using gravity to fall again - staying up with hover is too slow & inviting death.

You playing it on Xbox? If so myself and the lads have a clan if you want to stick your name down.

Didn't you finish up around 3k last time? I'd have expected a bigger drop based on that W/L tbh
