Ashe is actually really good at countering him. Throw the dynamite at him and let the tick damage wear him down. He has to stop shooting to heal and that gives you time to finish him off.

Junkrat is still my preferred bastian counter

Good. A healer that wins one on one duels 90 percent of the time was stupid

She's not really a healer though. She's a tank/healer hybrid.

I wasn't too bother by her,it's not like I was any good at tracer anyway. At least it will shake up the meta, was due a change

Her armour and ult were popped so often she didn't need to heal. She would stand swinging and wreck a team. A healer should have some skill to stop that like zen charge shot or anna dart. Not a single easy use ability

TitianGerm

Just finished my first ever placement on PC and got 2087. Not bad for someone you never used a mouse and keyboard before

If I can get to 2300 by season end I'll be very happy.

Edit: if anyone wants to add me my battletag is TitianGerm#2164

I wonder how the Doom and Brig nerfs will change games at the higher end of competitive and pro play.
Will it all be dive again like it was before.

Well now she should be used like she was supposed to be, to protect against tracer and genji, in the back lines, not up front wrecking dps tanks healers, maps, cars, superman

It's the Blizzard Balance Buggery again:

1. Design a cool hero
2. Give them a cool kit
3. Community likes kit but hasn't learned how to use it yet
4. Blizzard over-buffs hero
5. New meta revolves around overbuffed hero
6. Blizzard over-nerfs hero
7. New hero now essentially useless

21K healed, 39 kills as Moira on Watchpoint Gibraltar.

Not one card pick or endorsement at the end.

Ungrateful ****s.

IvoryTower

Not everyone votes or gives endorsements wouldn't be too concerned, I usually leave soon as game over depending on mood

I'd vote for the 21k heals.

But I never acknowledge a high kill moira, it only encourages them to dps moira usually.

Same moira gets 6 kills if she damage orrbs into a gravd team like.

Season ended today (with a break of 2 hours before the new one - remember when off season was a week) ,how did everyone find it?

Finished mid plat, which was fine, haven't played since end of November and when I do i usually opt for quick play as it provides more or less the same experience if you group up.

Thought the skins for the holiday event this year were woeful. Really uninspired.

IvoryTower

Had a great season. Never actually try-harded to rank up but got as high as 3300 and hovered around mid diamond thereafter. This is after scraping diamond the last few seasons. Torb has been my big addition this season along with flexing to Lucio and orisa on koth when the maps suit.

Play time. I think if you take torb out it would have been quite similar to previous seasons

Moira - 3hrs
Brig - 2hrs
Torb -. 2hrs
Rein - 2hrs
Mercy - 1hrs
Winston, dva, zen ,orisa , Lucio all around 20min

Many more hours then on my other account which bounced around between 2700-3200, 10hrs of torb with 61% winrate

2019 plan....... Play more overwatch, maybe play tracer more, again

fixXxer

Playing with a couple friends whove been missing once season 3, got dragged down to 1700 while they relearned the game. Managed to finish around 2200 and now we have tactics

Sight808

Went 6-4 with placements which I was happy enough with, placed at 2667 which seemed rather high, considering I finished last season at 2615 I was expecting to be put in gold with agrind back up. Expecting the inevitable 100+ sr loss streak over the next few weekends.

Placements are pretty much just ten games where you don't see your SR so winning 6 and losing 4 sounds about right for a 50SR gain.

I went 5-5 on both my accounts and pretty much placed around the SR I finished on last season in both cases.

raze_them_all_

Went 8-2 was down 3sr

penev10

I've gone 8-2 before and barely gone up any SR so it just seems arbitrary to me

Sight808

aaaaaaaaaaand lost 3 in a row.

I've lost my first 3 placements, all games were hard as fook, think ill wait a while to finish them. Feel like every now and again i regress, playing terrible at the moment

My 5 year old loves playing ow in the training modes :cool:

raze_them_all_

Ow still has the same problems. People refuse to be anyway at fault for the teams bad actions. Played a map I'm usually decent on, got destroyed as dps by a widow, went to healer. Steadied the ship but we lost. Next game a mcree would swap off despite orissa, rein and bastian set up. Eh lad you might Aswell not play if you won't swap

TitianGerm

Do we have many lads playing competitive around low gold? Wouldn't mind grouping up for a few games and actually getting some team play sorted.

IvoryTower

That's not really ow problem though is it, i mean, people are always going to be bad, make mistakes, bad decisions etc.

Had a rough game yesterday where we rolled a team on kings row, but then they rolled us, at the last point i switched to torb(was off tank) just as a sort of hail mary to try and stop the rolling. So at this point you would think its fine, both teams rolled, either can still win. Our main tank, only other person on mic declares I threw because i switched to torb, i told him he was my main so I just wanted to try anything that might stop the rolling and he just said yeah right, he switched to ashe and we got hammered in the next round.

what platform?

fixXxer

Having a fantastic season so far %75 win rate. A couple of wins away from a career high. Might just stop playing now.
