The amount of endorsement needed to say 5 is insane. I hit 5 for a total of one game, got 1 endorsement in my next game and shot back down to 4.

the surprising thing about endorsements is that it usually seems to be correct

a 1 instalocks Doomfist on a questionable map? they ain't changing
a 4 picked a dps and now we have four? they'll probably adjust without even having to ask

I've been doing a lot more grouping up with friends these days, so the amount of endorsements I get is generally way less. I'm assuming I'll eventually drop out of level 3 at this rate.

For some reason i fall to 1600 sr and there 2 unversal truths in this rank:

1)Every match has 2 hanzo's and at least 1 widow.

2) There are retards people everywhere.

And one bonus, teamwork is non existent

Another bonus one, foe every normal player there are at least 2 smurfs...

Anyway, this game is hell personified.
Fuck Blizzard

And something last, in every match ther will be players from russia.
When you have a russian player in your team, toxicity is guaranteed, so do the lose of that match.

when a tank main doesn't want to play tank picks mercy for no reason since we actually would have had the support quota already made. but nope. it was one of those throws disguised as if they actually wasn't throwing.

Yesterday I had one of my funnier matches.
Two guys both named Mercy (both played support, but not Mercy) comically shit-talking each other every second they were able to in the text chat. Took me way too long time realizing it wasn't just one guy talking to himself.
And they weren't even bad, the one playing Symmetra being better at taking down Pharah than our soldier was.

use zen ult > takes under 40 seconds after some quick discord and rapid fire shots into the other teams head > use another ult. but RIP that our rein got anti right during it. would have actually gotten a win then.

screenshot_18-10-05_22udbu.jpg


it was a fun game because i held silver damage until the end with the quick point (we had 5 minutes to get around the corner lol) which was already low bar from the beginning at around 10k lol. ended up with gold healing which was still low in comparison at 10k. probably because we ran zen, brig, and ana with solo rein. which i guess ana didn't have much to heal which i shouldn't have been so greedy and paid attention to her ult charge. but to be fair. the other team wasn't that good in coordinating.

next game

we actually had a dps ana. like. the whole team watched her near their spawn. and shoot. like i was surprised the team didn't bitch at her more. i guess it was for the fact the other team was so bad. and even if ana died it was fine. and i had dm up most of the time while she was there. but im sure it would be much different if we were losing.
anyways, i ended up playing zarya at first but then switched dva. it was just the right call because of the widow and im sure our rein didn't want to change anyways. and we had shield to block the shot from widow and i kept messing her from setting up.

Comp is so toxic.

Everyone's always quick to blame someone else, or the composition.

I'll give it a try, thanks. Never tried it.

Solo Q is pretty much out of the question now. I wouldn't even bother with it anymore if you want a chance to win. It's not a guaranteed win, but atleast with LFG you'll know that folks are trying otherwise you're at the whim of any random asshole throwing the game on purpose, etc.

That's good to hear.

It's not even about it winning or losing for me, honestly It'd be nice to play an even game where there's no toxicity and we're not throwing blame. Sometimes the enemy team is just better than us and that's ok.

I bought that Tracer Figma figure for 22 (28 counting shipping). Is it worth that? I noticed those figures seem priced really high so getting others in the set is probably out of the question =\

these are outstanding prices, i ordered all 3, nendoroids sell for an easyt $40+ all day, figmas are like $60++


also, in my overwatch games yday, i went like 13-2 and hit a new career high of 2700~

the grind is paying off :D

if you preordered from japan you could have gotten it for around $60-$70 I think, US MSRP is another $20-$30 on top of that

$22, even $28, is a steal for a figma

I feel like when I was looking at the knight helmet, at one point I thought "maybe that's pharah", but then I forgot about it and thought it was either Brigette or Genji, and now i'm eating crow because of my own stupid memory

Her being headless is pretty hilarious. I like it.

I think Pharah is one of the few characters whose default skin is still her best look imo tho

I wonder what her gun looks like.

I've had no luck with LFG. Is there a way to set it to not have 6 stacks? Like, if I want to group I'd prefer to be in a group of 3.

Good question. I'll check next time. Usually you'd want 6 people with mics so you'd know they aren't intentionally throwing. The other key to have "Adults only" in the title.

Okay. Can I please get some advice on how you're supposed deal with Phara?

I'm admittedly in the lower rankings in ranked, but anytime there is a Phara on the other team, it seems like my team is pretty much 100% not going to be able to handle her, and it's getting to the point that I almost just want to leave any match where I see her on the opposite team. Who counters her? What do I do? Please help.

Go Soldier 76, Widowmaker, McCree or even Orisa can deal with her. Get your healer to go Zen and hit her with a discord to help out. She'll drop like a fly.

D.Va contributes a lot too, as you can rocket boost + fire + rocket + melee into her face if she gets too close, and if she plays at long range, you can use defence matrix to shield her rockets (and nullify her ult). Really, it's a team effort, and the best thing you can do is make "Pharah low" callouts in comms to focus your team's attention on her when she's vulnerable.

Though if you wait a week (or whenever the latest patch hits), you'll probably be fine, as the Pharah nerfs (and the Soldier and Orisa accuracy buffs) will make her a lot less oppressive.

100% with Dva. I should've mentioned that.

I do feel something would be lost by a forced 2-2-2 comp, but at this point, I think it with role queue might be the simplest solution to a lot of balance issues.

The video makes a good point about Brigette: She isn't overpowered in a standard comp, but maybe she is in a 3-3 goats comp.

And this makes sense. Back when Overwatch first released, we had a lot of cheese comps involving picking doubles of a hero. Like, 6 winstons jumping on point or 2 lucio's, 2 tracers, 2 tanks. It was nonsense and would have been impossible to balance a character that's stacked without breaking them when they're not.

So, imagining a world where Brigette cannot be played with a 3rd healer to cover her weaknesses....maybe it's not such a bad one. How much simpler game balance would be if the developers didn't have to worry about truly silly compositions just running away with the meta.

I would also dig a map selection or atleast gametype selection option.

I loved it when the first year of the game had a lot of posts like this lol! Miss those times. It's still one of my absolutely favorite games of all time.
