I'm finding the same. I'll heal, we might get one tank but at least 3DPS and a Junkrat.

Then the DPS run off by themselves in separate directions and make it impossible to heal them all.

Ah jayziz its worse for you if you play healer. There was one healer last night who nearly had a stroke over comms trying to explain to people to keep reasonably so he could get to them easier. There was one point where I think he just put the controller down in frustration as he just stood in a corner for a sulk

Oh an Junkrat needs to just have his own class, just called "Junkrat", he is in every game anyway so Blizz may as well make it official.

Amen to that. I have been playing a bit of Reinhartd recently and end up shouting down the mic to get behind the shield. I did get a bit of relief when I grouped up with a Dva and a Soldier 76 for the last two games on Eichenwalde and Hanamura. We moved as a little group of three while the rest went off feeding. It's great when you respawn after dying and there's a little group of friends waiting for you out side. Everyone gets a big Reinhardt HELLO!! GREETINGS!!

Love that! That's when people start copping on how the game is played.

It's cartoony Call OF Duty and you need to go Pew Pew Pew to win.

One thing I've seen on Redditch a lot for climbing from Bronze all the way through to Plat is find the best player in your team (it's not always you), and just hang out with them. You always have at least a group of 2 semi-competent players.

Up to about 2100 that's still better than what most teams will manage, so it does help.

Well clearly I am the best player on my team... I'm only losing because of these terrible players :pac:

I feel the same, we're not losing because I can't shoot or prioritize targets, we're losing because that **** Zen won't play Mercy to keep me up, I need proper back support.

I'd a game the other day where I played Zen on attack Watchpoint Gibraltar. I was a discord machine and was focusing their Hog so was charging my Ult very quick.

On Defense I switched to Mercy got 12 resses and 15k healing. I think I got my Ult 4 times.

We still lost

Rein has the best voicelines in the game.

Pretty underwhelming event cosmetic-wise. Sombra's skin is cool and Orisa's emote is adorable.

The rest? Meh. That Hanzo skin might be the worst skin they've done.

Hogs and anna are pretty cool imo. ALso loving junkrats is a summer skin

Hard to stop that bloody yeti

Couldn't stop laughing the first time I used riptire

I had problems reviving twice this morning with mercy, was during valkrie and i had no timer on the rez. Has something changed?!

DeadlyByDesign

How have we not gotten a "Santa's lil helper" elf costume for Widow yet?! I cry foul! Otherwise , skins are meh. As a new Sombra user I am on the look out for her skin alright. Orissa emote is very good.

there's an issue with roads hook too afaik

fixXxer

I like a good few of the new skins. The Roadhog and Junkrat ones spring to mind and the Ana and Sombra ones too. The bastion one is strange, but the fact that he still has his bobble hat on when in turret and tank mode make it good. The Soldier 76 one is a bit blah. It's from last year but the McCree/Scrooge skin has to be one of the worst ever released.

J. Marston

The Soldier one would be great if he didn't have the mask.

I don't understand how Koreans can play OW on such high mouse sensitivity.

I play on 2000dpi / 3.75 sens ; my housemate plays on 2000 / 37 sens & consistently places higher than me.

Mickeroo

What heroes do you play with that kind of sensitivity? 500dpi here......

Hog and Anna skins are really nice. The only poor one I saw was Hanzo.

Every hero; mostly Pharah but I flex a lot.

I just think playing on low DPI makes no sense, surely you want MORE detailed tracking from your mouse sensor?

Does anyone playing on Console mess with their sensitivity settings? I've been playing on default this whole time. Am I a pleb?

It makes a big difference for some characters, its great for someone like mercy. I up them a little bit every now and again. Up at 70 - 45 now.

If you play Winston, yes, it should be 70 minimum, I used to play on 90 with Winny and about 14 with everyone else iirc

I played 7 games today and won 5 for a grand total of +53 points.

I played healer in every game but switched up hero between rounds(Lucio Attack/Mercy Defense).

10 points per game is pretty poor return though

Isn't that a result of the shorter seasons now?

I got between 19 and 21 for a win but I lost 27 and 29 so an average of 28. Seems a bit off balance.

So for every 5 games I lose I have to win 7 to stay at my current SR.
