    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.

    The lastest Dev comment thing where they talk about Team SR mentions that you need a winrate above 50% to keep a stable SR in higher ranks.

    Maybe in just **** when I lose and carried when I win but evenn in Silver I need a 50%+ Winrate to stay at the same level, your own experiences back up the same

    I have a 46% win rate and I'm down 120SR. 30 wins, 33 losses and 1 draw. This is my lowest win rate since I started Comp. It was 52% in season 6 and 51% in season 5. I don't have my stats for the ones before that but they were around 54%.

    I was always in Plat (2650 - 2750) but had a horrible placement in season 5 and placed 2300 but claimed back to 2600ish, since then I've placed Gold but can't get out of here in season 6 and 7.

    In the last two seasons I've seen way less people willing to fill in, very few will switch even if they are being countered hard, no one groups up, if you lose the first point someone will quit (happens once every 4 or 5 games), constant trickling and vast majority wanting to DPS.

    What do people think of the new game modes for Winter Wonderland? The Yeti hunter one is OK..ish but I really dislike the snowball fight mode.

    Sorry, I was just being snarky about people not playing the objective :)

    I'm enjoying both the Winter Wonderland modes at them moment in short bursts. I don't feel they need to be added to the main game though. Still miss Lucioball :(

    Yeti Hunter can be really easy if the Meis team up.

    Though that also means the Yeti can kill all 5 of them in a second.

    I love the Yeti hunter.

    Winston main and I love playing Mei which may give me a little bias. I like scrutinizing bad Yetis and appriciating the good ones.

    Don't like Snowfight at all, it's like a mix between Zens orbs and Junks arcs for me.

    Anyone else on console notice slow loading in a lot of cases recently. It's particularly noticeable on Mystery Heroes at the very start where it takes ages for your character to load (so you can see who you are) or see enemies, but also when it comes to Play of the Game where it's showing the replay but the character models only load halfway through.

    Is this a recent thing?

    My guess is its the account he either uses just to flute around or to play with his mates. Thats a lot of hours not killing anyone mind

    I'd imagine sniping is hard on console no ? Unless there's some aim assistance...or targets don't move as much

    There is aiming assist but I still find it nigh on impossible, hence whenever I have a Widowmaker on my team I get nervous. Having said that, I can appreciate the beauty of a cross map head shot when killed a lot more than a ****ing scatter arrow.

    I play a lot of Orisa. She's meant to take a lot of damage before dying. It should not be possible to 1-shot her. Scatter arrow is bs.

    Played a game yesterday, we capture point, after a team wipe, We all go tot he choke to pin it, game ends we lose, some weird glitch game didnt give us the point after it said captured, so we lost. Was infuriating, still won overall but still

    Whatever you've heard about Silver being bad for comms, the reality is so much worse.

    Sent about 8 messages in the last game asking Mercy to join voice chat, no response at all.

    Game before that, same thing, asked 3 players about 15 times accross the game to join the chat. Towards the end of the second round "nope" is the only response I got.

    I wouldn't even mind if I was being abusive, but "guys/mercy will you join comms" is about all I was saying to them.

    Absolutely headwrecking.

    People hoarding ults like it's a precious commodity.

    Graviton, maybe? The rest, use the fúcking thing.
