To start this thread off:
D.va and Mercy

Indian tech support
Tracer
I´m actually gitting gud at McCree right now. Nailing headshots feels great.

go back to tumblr fucking faggots

...

Junkrat nerfs when?
I love him but he just shits out way too much damage.

Fuck overwatch and it's shit tier girls

I think his damage is fine. The only problem i see with Junkrat is that his ult charges pretty fast, while having an extremely high killing potential. But then again, fast charging ults are pretty much the one and only advantage of defense heroes against offensive classes.

C'mon, that's the only thing it has going for it. And some of the semen demons are really high tier.

I think you should go back to tumblr, faggot

overwatch sux

...

I know where you got that image, faggot

They really just need to make his reload or shooting speed longer. And nerf his damage on his shift, or at least make it have a prime time, like you can only use it when it hits the ground.

Attack on booty and not using this one too?

Kek. I´ll guess this will stay the Millhouse from Overwatch for all eternity. Or maybe if i get another chance to make a thread i´ll use it

Mercy right now

Mercy untill a loli comes out

PooInLoo, not even a question

Brohardt and 76 once he calms down

Actually, Tracer. I recently picked her in a match on Watchpoint Gibberish after we failed to push even to the first point with a 3-premade of incompetent assholes and I failed to give a fuck since I assumed round 2 would last 40 seconds.
We won and damm being that massive annoyance behind the enemy was fun.
I killed myself with my own ult wich I threw on the gound once

Mercy, Pharah, Dva, Zarya and Symmetra depending on the situation, though most commonly the first 3. Wish I could play a little more Mei but I fulfill the other roles too well for me to swap most of the time.
Pic related, I can't pick one over the other.
Russian woman in a man's body.
That Dad76 who helps me heal the team as Mercy when everyone is taking splash damage
Probably Rein and Ana, while I can get a bunch of golds pretty easily with my current mains, those always give me a hard time.

Thanks, I mean, in a multi image would be OK.

Keep seeing this garbage posted every now and then. What is this shit? South American Blender? Romanian 3ds Max?

This cancer needs to stop.

probably from the last threads where I posted them?

so anyone have good tricks with that new map yet

the first chokepoint can be a nightmare. sometimes having a tracer blink in to the cap point can shake up the line but usually its not enough

That would cipple his ability to double mine jump though.

Maybe have it so his mine does less damage to enemies when it is immediately thrown? You know sort of what Valve tried with the demo's stickies at one point when they briefly grew a pair.

I still haven't gotten a chance to play it outside of the weekly brawl.

i've been doing a lot of it since it uses comp rules and i don't have my buddies around to comp with right now

Soldier 76, but I play chars based on role and need in a team. I've at least two characters per role so I can adapt to my team better.

DPS: S76, Reaper, Pharah
Def: Junkrat, Bastion (normally on attack to break Reinhardt barriers).
Tank: Any except Roadhog
Supp: Lucio, Ana

Young Ana, or Zarya for carrying me to high rank.

D.va looks like she hates everyone around her.

I'd smoke weed with Lucio any day!

I've been learning Ana and making her work in quick play. After that, there's no one character I really want to get better with. Hanzo maybe? I think he has strong attack options and a lot of his advantages just get overshadowed by the fact that you want to play hanzo on attack. Same with Ana, people are fine once they realise that it's okay to leave the fight for a few seconds.

Like the other user said, ye olde tactic of flanking all the way to the point works here even better than in Volskaya. Alternatively a Junkrat can fly over the chokepoint and rain his grenades on defending Rein's asshole to allow the main pushing force a breakthrough. Also the pathway to the right is great for snipers to assist the main pushers, if I pick Dva I usually go along with the sniper to give them a few free shots.

Jack of all trades, master of none, although I don't play much Lucio or Roadhog, neither Harambe cuz he is too squishy.
Mei, D.Va, Tracer is my top 3 in that order.
Not quite worst but I am not into Zarya, she is cool though.
Soldier 76
Need to get better at aiming with Widow, I wish she and Ana had two levels of zoom.

So is there anything else to this game besides other than fuckable character design?

Both Pharah and D.Va can fly around the right of the chokepoint, putting them behind the bridge for flanks with the advantage that nobody on the enemy team will know about it until you hit the point.

McCree, Soldier, Dva, Zarya, Lucio

D.va, who else?


Tracer, only because shes a bitch to deal with in game


REINHARDT

I want to learn Ana, shes the comfy sniper hero.

Kill all faggots.

...

First thing I did when I saw that option was go through and change like half the crosshairs to the tiny cross.

controls per character when

Too bad you can't use Hanzo's range finder as Junkrat or Toblerone.

Move along tumblr, the superior fanbase is here.

y-yeah, I totally knew about this! Of course! thanks user

The main draw to me is that each character is pretty viable, they all have their own niche, but none of them are useless (except for Mercy)

Disgusting

Kill yourself and all close family to stop the spread of your disease.

some characters have special options(mercy beam toggle for example)

Pic is clearly best girl.

Oh I've done that with Mercy and set the Zarya option to see friendly health but I didn't know you could change the retarded McCree crosshair.

...

...

yes, and that picture proves my point, Zarya in doesn't look anything like that.

Haven't played this fucking game in weeks. Will probably fucking play it again fucking soon just to see what's new in the stew.

...

...

...

You're not missing anything, it's still shit

...

...

what is this ebin new meme?

Why dont you just say nigger and stop spamming?

Lucio. Call the cops, don't give a fuck.
Dunno, they're all kind of annoying. D.va has funniest fanart, though.
Tracer, she's so fucking annoying to play against and listen to.
As a support main, Reinhardt by far. Though I've come across several Roadhogs who were great at staying behind to protect the weaker characters. Best bros.
Mei. She's a total game changer if you're good with her.

Whats the average rank of everyone on here playing the game? I'm 2225SR, I used to be 2600 in PTR.

How do I deal with people who run up to me and hop around my face effectively? Particularly fucking Meis.

Who do you play? Usually when that happens I start shooting the ground with AOE attacks since I play a lot of Zarya, and that generally fucks them. Also stay with your team and they should get them while their attention is on you.

try L2P bitch

sage

Counter sage :^)

2520 here


Depends on who you're playing as, if you're a squishy that doesn't have much mobility you pray that your teammates save you. If playing as Zarya wait for Mei to freeze you a little then pop your shield, if Dva just fly away immediately.

That means you're getting too close to the enemy.


I was 61, haven't played in a while. Been playing Nioh.


Zarya is my main.

Mercy is obviously best girl. But Pharah is mai waifu

Tracer is beyond shit.

Reinhardt is your friend.

I only play characters that are worth while for my team. That means, tanks and healers. DPS is for the faggots too stupid to be relied on. Pharah + Mercy is legit though, and I miss Pharah being viable

GO HOME OVERCUCKS

If you were 61 you would probably be at 3-3.5k, so at Master, and the highest is Grand Master. I mean, unless you just got lucky, kid

Newfriend

Mei. Any other answer is heresy. fite me
Widowmaker AKA Amelie 'Ice Vagina' LaCroix
Zarya is S rank wingman* material.
I don't know, Mercy or something, since I always end up having to play fucking support in competitive anyway.

What happened to Pharah to make her considerably less useful?

McCree got a bunch of buffs to long range shooting making him a permanent fixture on every team and one that's especially good at picking off Pharahs.

...

Lucky? Oh lord no. I try really fucking hard.
I have a lot of desire to get super high ranked or anything. I just try hard at anything I do.


Everyone that was strong against Pharah got a buff, and I SWEAR they increased her hurtbox size

Guess that explains why I have so many deaths with her now.

With Pharah I had an 80+% win ratio until the McCree/Zen buff

Yea, I used to be in 99%-98% with Zarya, Lucio, and Pharah but it's been dropping rapidly since I stopped playing. Crazy how not playing for a little more than a week will tank your stats. I wonder if it's because the new season just started.

Pharah also needs mercy to do considerably well too, and Mercy is still not as good as Zen and Lucio.


McCree really needs a rework, all his abilities revolve around his M2. Problem is, his M2 is dogshit now and the only redeeming quality is his M1.

It is, I took a long break from overwatch and my % with pretty much everyone dropped quite a bit. Now that everyone's playing again it's back to being accurate.

Just got the game. I like playing mercy, its like playing vanilla tf2 medic without uber. Its pretty fun but I know how shit I am at the moment.

But I unboxed marachi reaper, amd fucking lazengann reinhardt so I'm determined now to git gud with those characters despite how shit I am.

It's funny how her nose is a reverse question mark.

Reaper is easymode, especially in low ranks. Just make sure not to E right in front of people like an idiot and flank whenever you can and you'll be fine.

You've picked all really annoying characters to git gud with, Mercy and Reinhardt gudness is reliant on figuring out exactly how much you can expect of braindead teammates and Reaper is the same but for braindead enemies. Good luck.

I would think so. I do like being able to show people that I'm reliable, and worth playing with. Sort of concerns me that my quick score is so low now.


Well Reaper is good at high ranks too, he just can't get away with flanking easily.

Rain can solo a lot of shit himself without needing to be reliant on his team
people are far too passive on him and just waddle around with his shield up totally forgetting his E does really good damage and he can 1 shot pretty much everything but tanks with his charge and 3 swings kills all healers and has a huge arch range to it

There is nothing worse than blizzkids except horny underaged b& blizzkids.

I wouldn't worry about it, my Pharah quick score dropped to like 20% during my off time.


Tip for Mercy, if you're behind a Rein shield, don't drop your heal beam on him, he's behind his shield, not taking any damage. Instead damage boost someone else behind his shield like soldier so that he can deal some extra damage. Also learn the maximum distance of your beam, sometimes your team will get wiped by a Zarya/Pharah utl wombo combo and it'll be up to you to stay alive to rez everyone.

ran out of IPs to downvote herb on?

I hate how many mercy players just heal the reinhardt while he has his shield up, or even worse when zarya shields a rein with his shield up. Why? Do you think you can heal his shield or some shit?

I do this on occasion, it's usually when there's a Pharah/Junkrat and I can still get charge off of them, or as a way to let Rein get off a firestrike under pressure.

What? You guys aren't man enough to climb that mountain?

...

Lmao sexually frustrates blizzkids get off to men-bodied overbitches. Guess what that makes you faggots? That's right: queers

If only she didnt have that pink hair she would be perfect. Thank god blizzard made her racist at least

Supposedly Zarya shield interacts with rein shield and feeds her energy, I'd test it but my internet has gone to the shitter.

so basically you are learning the equivalent of gender studies

stop ruining your posts with tumblr-cut zarya

more summer zarya.

More like that mountain is too much of man for me to want to climb it.

I used to like it when girls had colored hair like that in real life but sadly they're mostly SJWs now. It used to be more associated with punk rock and anime back then.

What about guys who are into fat women? Does that mean they're really into fat men? Women can be muscular too.

Besides you'd be gay not to hit this.

Both of those are fucking disgusting though.

It definitely does, the bubble reaches through the shield so unless they're only plinking at the corners of said shield you'll get charge off bubbling a shielding Rein. It's a pretty reliable way to build charge if you don't expect to need the ally bubble for a save before the cooldown's up.

Well developed muscles are a secondary sexual characteristic of men, a product of large amounts of testosterone.

I dont care for muscles either, but you have to respect a strong women.

I like muscles, it's just that those two images were trash.

Yup. Forget about the disgusting man-jaw, you're never going to see a real-life female bodybuilder with anything resembling normal genitalia. Her clit will literally start to resemble a pseudo-penis.

What are you, some kind of faggot nu-male?

Never knew this although i specifically searched for such a function. Wew lad.

no, bullshit. at least she has titties. widowmaker worst girl.
dime a dozen femme fatale in skintight clothing but with no tits. on top of that shes a snipper.

Symetra has a better ass than Widow
also I dont mind widows small tiddies

used to be that soldier and zarya had an option to display health for teammates like healers have, thankfully they made that option global now.


i hope you just never liked that hair in the first place and arent saying that because it reminds you of "things"

Widow's french accent makes up for her lack of tits for me.

there is only one french girl for me

give us your secret porn stash

...

never

Back to your containment thread you furry faggot piece of shit.

Just finished up my placement matches, fuck Pharah and fuck bastion.

Every fucking game that I had either on my team was a loss, these characters simply do not hold up in competitive.

EVERY. FUCKING. GAME.

FUCK.

now why the hell would they buff hanzos projectile speed but not hers? ive never had a game where pharah was a problem.

That's some hot opinions fam, I usually scream my ult's status a few times before a friendly Zarya gives me an affirmative. She's also a fantastic pick if the enemy team doesn't have a Soldier or McCree. Also a great choice on maps with cliffs like Nepal and Ilios. Bastion is just a minor nuisance at this point though.

Please just keep posting Miranda, i really like her


Salty that he doesn't want to share with you, what a pitiful creature.

pharah is good
bastion is god damn awful

He's a goofygoober constantly posting his shit waifu, dude needs to fuck off.

Where are you guys getting these stats? I like the format.

Pharah depends on the enemy. If they have a good McCree she dies way too easy, but Pharah can shit out some damage, especially her ult. She needs a zarya shield to use it though.

when does a team not have a hitscan character?

overbuff.com

You'd be surprised, I've had games where enemy assaults were Tracer and Reaper or Genji who couldn't do a whole lot about me.

...

...

is it true that widowmaker had a bigger ass in closed beta? i know there was a glitch where her ass got bigger when he ults but im not referring to that

...

ya her ass was bigger in beta and the model for sfm was pulled so its forever floating around since blizz nerf the booty

I don't HAVE to respect fucking anybody. True respect is always earned on a case by case basis.

thats horrible. everything bad happens to poor amelie. she was fated to be worst girl.

How does a robot blush?

Animu magic.

the same way a dog blushes

tumblr didnt even want the fucking tumblr character made for muh body diversity types
instead they go for the generic fucking korean
its so bullshit

by now everyone should realize that pandering to feminazis does nothing but maybe shut them up, maybe. but you definitely wont have their support or money or anything.

yea
I hope the taco truck is gonna be a cute and not some blob formed tumblr checklist of a character

I was going to mostly go as Mercy but I feel like I have to milk Mei's huge buff while I can.

Hanzo players need to be dragged out into the streets and shot.

Why coudn't they give that bitch a 5 minute german crashcourse?

I was playing with friends and decided to insta lock hanzo so no-one else could play him. Despite it being my first time using him I got got POTG, gold elims and damage.He is so easy to play I don't understand how the majority of people are shit with him.

...

...

...

How is it supposed to be pronounced?

I'm sure it's not eye-shen-walled

it's something like eye-chen-wald (like walled, but only one l).

Does the "ch" sound even exist in the english language? Ever time an english person tries to speak it, it sounds like a "k" or a "sh" to me.

chess

"Church" would be an even better example

If i´m not mistaken you speak out chess as "tshess". The german "ch" sounds different than "tsh". It´s a way softer sound.

...

you mean arabic?

I've actually teamed up with one for a couple of games just now, I think I ran in like one of the extremely few good ones, but he's still an irredeemable flaming faggot who insults people who asked him to switch. Plus his other main is Reaper.

At least we won and he got play of the game.

God dammit, she actually looks decent with that skin.


Soldier 76 and Mercy
D.va
Mei
Reinhardt
Ana

I feel you onni-fam. I was away working for a month and a half and missed the whole event. Would've loved that Mercy skin.

Maybe it's just me, but Ana is about the LAST hero I want to see on a team. I think I'd be happier with an offensive basion/torb/symmetra

I got everything I wanted with the exception of Symmetra emote and McCree skin. Got both the Zarya "I can bench more than you" voice line and her non retard hair skin.


As a Mercy player I'm pretty happy to see her on my team thanks to her healing enhancing ability. Makes my job a whole lot easier.

...

im happy to see ana if im playing someone with a large health pool. and in my experience a skilled ana is the most difficult healer to kill.

Seeing Ana as the only support? Totally agree. But as a second support she's incredible. Her ult makes for some god-tier zoning, makes tanks scared of even the squishiest dudes.

...

as second. I'm support main so its never an only support scenario. Ana is like the Hanzo of supports. Theres a lot she CAN do, but unless she's a fucking god shes too unreliable to do much at all.

But goyim you CAN get the skin you just need to… heheh… give a few shekels… hehehehehehehe

Yeah fuck you I used ellipsis

I fucking hate Ana players because they always ult me.

...

Nano boosted high energy Zarya is disgustingly good especially with black hole.

I prefer you give it to the Genji when he ults or something. I'm trying to keep enough awareness on my health, my cooldowns, the enemy and my team (to bubble them) in order to push us forward I don't need to hear "WHAT WE CALLS A WITNESS" or whatever she's yelling out when she ults at a random point in time and se myself get ulted and suddenly have to switch priorities or just ignore it and waste it. And its not like I can always just use black hole because I don't want to use it on just one person after all. Especially not when the enemy Reinhardt has his shield out.

I'm saying after a Zarya black holes and if theres no Reinhart about, Zarya is usually the best choice.

Mains are stupid. Learn everyone.

Probably tracer
Roadhog
I'm learning all of them.

So yeah basically its okay to ult me when I'm not doing any of the things I am usually doing and just focusing on my ult.

You should really specify that.

But where is all the preg Zarya art? That's the million dollar question.

She's still "new" and people haven't figured out the meta with her yet. I'm currently sticking to ulting Dragonblade Genjis and Reindharts, with the occasional Reaper. Basically everyone else feels unreliable and panicky.
The biggest issue when playing Ana is that you depend on your team to know exactly what you're doing at all times, otherwise you waste grenades, sleep darts and ults all over the place.

Either Mercy, Anna or Reinhardt, depending on what the team needs.


Symmetria or Mercy. Both are good options.


D.Va. Fuck that annoying shithead


Motherfucking Reinhardt, but I also met some Mei that pinned people that get close to me as a support.


I'm trying to learn Midget Turret Man, since I really like to play Engineer on TF2, but I feel that he's closer to Battle Engi than Classic Engi. I'm also trying to learn Reaper to expand the edge. Lastly, I'm training Winston for King of the Hill and more open stages (and to fuck Genjis because fuck Genji).

So I'm trying out Zarya and she's really fun, but it almost feels like she has to be a secondary tank on the team, while a Rein or D.Va is the main tank. Is that fair to say or am I playing Zarya too defensively?

Naw you've got the right idea. Zarya's more of a support tank than anything else.

Fair to say. Whenever I main Zarya there's usually a Reinhardt first.

Nope you're right on the money. Zarya does every job (halfway) except with added BIG RUSSIAN DAMAGE and the boon that she never needs to be healed. Also activate allied health bars.

Also
Kill me. Please.

Hey, if anyone wants to Comp together my battletag is BigMoist#11857

Just say you're from Holla Forums or whatever

Meant to make a quick post and delete the reply, sorry

You were about 50 points from being not allowed to group with me anyway, and I can't carry golds

Zarya is a really bad nano target, agreed, but if we do nano you, we're really just looking for the enemy to either be really scared away from you, or hope they take massive damage off your mortar. Chasing people down at high energy also works wonders and we can usually support you if you don't go out of range.

That said, Ana's ult recharges fast enough that 9/10 times, I don't care to save it. If I see an engagement that can be won by a nano'd Reinhardt alone, I'll use it since the healing will most likely give me 50% charge back anyway. An Ana doing her job (and her team playing defensively and disengaging properly) will get Nano nearly every minute.


She can main, but holding charge reliably requires a second tank. Anyone who normally gets focused down is a great target, Winston, Roadhog. D.va and Rein need to play more aggressively to get use out of it for you, but it's not impossible.

Aside from managing cooldowns on bubbles, try to save your self bubble for emergencies or safely gathering charge. The hitbox of your shields extends pretty far and can block corridors entirely. You can even stand in friendly bubbles to block damage and line of sight abilities.

I'd go as far as saying she's the most powerful character in the game, due to her presence alone changing how the enemy has to play the game entirely. Since the Mei buff, I'd also argue the same for her, but Mei is still fairly easily countered, and Zarya is just far more influential in keeping a team together.

critikal or an imposter/fan?

this. other stronk girls may look good and zarya may even look good in fanart but the way she's rendered in game and on this pic she looks like a man. look at her fucking shoulder and top chest area. those are man shoulders. has the same problem on the in-game model. her face bone structure is manly af on the in game model as well. because she has muscles that doesn't mean that her female physique just doesn't exist anymore and it's replaced by the physique of a man. if 1 character had to be trans to appease tumblr, it'd be her, not junkrat. basically, if you wanna hit that you're probably gay but if you wanna hit 1st pic from you've got pristine taste.

This. On top of that, Zarya's barrier removes Orb of Discord and stops Mei's freezing and slowdown effects. She might not be a strong head-on fighter but she's one of, if not THE, team-based hero.

add me i guess and find out

Alright I'll just keep not caring too much if I get ulted then.
Yeah I heavily advise against it. I have won games on attack with Zarya as the lone tank and holding on to/hiding behind the point. I still feel its pretty bad though.
Zarya has 200hp shields for this reason. If you're not out of shield there is no reason to use bubble (unless you can save yourself from major burst like Rein flamestrike which will give you 50 charge).
Which basically means if another Zarya ults you and your team you either bubble yourself or a friendly and you can avoid a lot of damage. Hopefully both bubbles are available and basically denying the entire ult. There's so many ways this is useful. Even bubbling yourself and then jump in front of a teammate is possible. Super useful.
Also one of the hardest to use.

Suuuper OP in the right situations. Especially if suddenly a Rein isn't being bogged down by a Mei ult you will see the enemy team panic most of the time and everyone is safe.

*super
don't type like a faggot, user. Also it's not anymore OP than the effects it removes, since they can be reapplied once the barrier's gone in all of two seconds.

Thank you for bringing this meme to my attention, I will spam it here everywhere.

This, along with Tracer's censored ass and Zarya's disgusting tumblr design is why I will never pay Blizzard another cent.

Hoisting the good old Jolly Roger isn't out of the question, though.

They replaced it with a pinup pose, though. It's dumb, sure, but it's more of a sideways movement than anything. And zarya's tumblr design is actually pretty accurate.
If tumblrites actually played vidya I doubt zarya would be as well liked.

Don't be gay, post more D.va and Mei

...

Only through sheer incompetence, as per typical of SJWs, which they then tried to spin as intentional.

Besides, even ignoring the censorship issue (which you shouldn't), the new pose shows objectively less ass, making it inferior right out of the gate.

Nobody's saying to ignore the censorship, I'm just saying that the replacement isn't any worse.
Well not for me. Since I'm not a nigger, ass isn't that much more important. Still plenty of leg so it's fine.

But Tracer has no ass.

...

...

...

Please quit embarrassing yourself

here's my trips for you

mark?

s-sorry

that's disappointing

Not that kind of strong you fucking faggot, I'm talking about the real type of strength, where you lift weights, and beat the shit out of twinks like Genji.


Why what does that mean? I got it from gelbooru.

When will overcucks go back to tumblr?

Capitalizing on those 2 seconds can turn entire fights. Nobody wants to feed Zarya, so finding out the marked target now shouldn't be shot whatsoever comes as a fairly big surprise.

That's actually another point. Sometimes you just need to kill Zarya and stop the cancer at it's root, and sometimes you can't wait 2 seconds. If you have a good team, you can limit her impact just by focusing her down regardless of her charge and shields. Everyone needs to be on board to do it though cos it will hurt if not done right. A good Zarya will get around the "don't shoot her shields" clause fairly easily anyway, and you even see it in professional tournament play, they have to nuke her down as she's just too powerful to leave alone.


To add to this, you can manipulate your team to feed you charge safely. Jump out in front of Reinhardt's shield when it's being shot for a second. Get Genji to harass someone, and when they start firing back, double the size of his hitbox with your shield. Stack up in doorways and shield the person in front. Turn on allied health bars and see where people are taking damage from. After a few hours and enough game sense and map awareness, you'll know when you can capitalize on your teams mistakes and get lots of free charge.

You'll always want to shield after you're already taking damage, but some players are smart about calling your shield bluff like D.va, so always ensure people commit to killing you before shielding. A common tactic I see now is D.va firing for one second then stopping so they don't feed you. Just keep the beam on and watch as they don't know what to do. You'll quickly melt their armor.

Positioning is incredibly important as Zarya too, typically you want to sit with the rest of the mid-range dps, so you can usually see 2 or 3 good shield targets at any time, and pull to the front when you're fed. It makes timing these things easier, but being aware of your teams plays as a result is a huge advantage since you get to cover so many mistakes, and really keep the team knit together, and helps punish the enemy.

If you're comfortable being a shot-caller and can take yourself out of a lost fight when needed, and can manage the workload, she's just never a bad pick.

Oh, so the kind of strength nu-male faggots imagine women can have.

It's fiction, user. You can have a woman being able to lift trucks and throw them around like baseballs and it wouldn't even crack the suspension of disbelief if you simply say it's a superpower or some shit.

I would if I could.

nigger I bet any of the women who participated in the strength based parts of the olympics could beat the living shit out of you.

REMOVE D.WRITO FROM GAME!

I dont even like buff women you queer stop projecting your fantasies onto me. Im saying respect a women that can be that fucking buff.
Yeah man, those women in the Olympics are fake.

All this thread need now are lewd greentexts, SFM porn webms, Reaperfield memes and Burnt Casserole. Then it will be just like 4/owg/.

Now that I've fallen down to it I can't get out of 2100 again

Same thing happened to me, I just started playing Soldier and i've been steadily rising to my old rank again. only 250 more away from 2500.

I fucking love that. Why does it have to be so rare?

Please, tell us more about how your stronk waifus could totally kick your nu-male asses.

...

Nigga do you read?

Sure you don't.

Hmmmmm maybe if I get better at him.

...

I'm pretty sure that your rank is almost entirely dependant on medals gained. For that reason, Roadhog and Soldier mains probably raise far higher than most, due to being the only heroes able to get 4 gold medals and one silver reliably.

You have to win as well.

I've played with you before.

I hope that it lowers the amount of points lost if you have all gold and you lose. Everygame i've lost i've had 2 golds at least, and everyone i've won i've had 3

Medals have exactly NOTHING to do with it.

They have internal statistics they compare to for each character. Not a whole lot is known about them but for healers for instance "assists" are very important while "healing done" is almost completely meaningless. You can see the pattern by comparing some high and low rank support players and seeing how their statistics differ, the higher rank supports have WAY more assists, but sometimes even less healing.

I think it would be safe to assume that the in game "heat" meter tracks similar stats. That is not to say that rank gain is dependent on "heat". "Heat" is the game's way of telling you "you're playing good" while rank is the game's way of tracking how good you are, so it follows that they would look at the same things.

3400.

Rank is piss easy to get in this game, how is it even possible to score below 2500

It's a fucking thumbnail, dumbass

People who play genji and wont switch

Where do you get your lol & R34? From that waste dump paheal?

Oh nice can we see a screenshot?

...

Consider that you have 10 Eliminations but almost 6000 damage. That's about 600 damage per elimination.
I did not saw the game and this is only speculation, but you might be wasting too many shots and not finalizing your kills. It's important to get the job done, otherwise they'll heal up and return fast.

You also only have 800 healing done, which might not mean anything if the other team was that bad OR it can mean you're not deploying Biotic Field as often as you should and near your team. Stick with your team more often. (but don't go hugging them, that's asking for a Rip TIRE)

I did a typo and meant to say loli not lol, kek. what else would you call porn of shows and games you fag?

Porn, you dumb fuck. Rule 34 is just the saying that "if it exists, there is porn of it". It doesn't just apply to cartoons and games.

Evolution of language mate. Words take on new meanins and definitions with time and the use given to them.
R34 or "rule 34" is synonym with porn of fictional characters now since that's the most common sought form of it. If people have come to use it that way and the great majority do so, then that's what the word means to them.

Holy shit, shut the fuck up you underaged redditfag.

Grow up

Hey, I ain't saying I agree with that, but that's the way language evolves. Words have meaning because those listening give it to them, not because those speaking decided beforehand. If it's a very small group of people that know the meaning of a specific term, then it's either jargon or slang, but if enough people understand that word with that specific meaning, then that's what it means.

For instance, you just called me a redditfag. If you went out in the street and said that to a random person, what do you think they'd believe that word means? Nothing, it holds no meaning for them. Say it online however, and you're still not get much better results since some will recognize the "reddit" part and maybe recognize it as some insult due to the fag part.
Now say that word in any chan (or even Reddit itself) and everyone will know exactly what you mean, that you're implying I'm from reddit and I'm a fag for hailing from that (none of that is true, but that's not the point).

Technically, "redditfag" is slang, just like "r34" or "rule34". Neither are that mainstream to be considered actual words used by everyone, but ironically "rule 34" is closer to that than redditfag.

I'm sorry I triggered you guys, but that's the way language works. It's not static at all and changes literally based on what's mainstream or not. Your ebin sickrit terms for porn aren't special.

Look it really pains me to say it to a guy who just gave me good advice. You're probably a good person and all, but going spouting off something stupid like that really needs to be called out. In fact you're being a hypocrite since clearly it is not an accepted term here, yet you still defend its use. So in short you are entering a community and using slang that they find unacceptable and thus per your own definition it should not apply to the people in that community. If you care about microcommunities.

If you want to make the argument for macrocommunities then go ask your mom what "rule 34" is. I bet you most people won't know, so it isn't an accepted term there either. Please accept the fact that you are doing something really stupid when you tell off like you did.

Also triggered is way overused.

m8 you're just a plain fucking idiot who is trying to sound like some sort of pseudo-intellectual. Just because a bunch of underaged idiots use a term in the wrong way doesn't mean the wrong way to use that term is the right way to use it.

Oh and there's also the fact that being a psuedointellectual (which you come off as) is really repulsive.

The three of us hit silver, with one friend being in 2600's, me at the 2700's and my other bud at 2800. Can't wait to shit it all up later

Lol apparently saying rule 34 for video game porn is bad now.

It shows how underaged you are, faggot.

That's platinum. The colour is confusing but that's definitely plat.

Bronze is < 1500, Silver < 2000, Gold < 2500, Platinum < 3000, Diamond < 3500, Master < 4000 and Grand master above that.

2500-3000 is platinum, friend.

But this brings to mind something, the Platinum emblem needs something to distinguish itself properly from silver as I've lost track of the amount of people that don't know the difference between silver and platinum.

Gold and Masters have a similar problem. Side by side it's obvious because masters is shiny as hell, but it looks gold.

Masters and Grandmasters look almost identical

you're getting angry about things that are very autistic to be angry about

Wait
WHAT

Sorry i've been saying that shit since 09 you faggot. You must be underage if your doing something to pretend to not be a child, im going to keep on saying that shit because its what I say I dont give a shit what some random kid on the internet thinks of me.

Under fucking aged

lol okay

congratulations

...

I thought Grandmaster was supposed to only be the top 500 in the region? Or was that just early misinformation?

If any of you want to add me heres my ID:Moonman#12532 Im at 2300SR right now.


I dont play comp when kids are of of school 2-10pm CST time unless its a party of 3
I need people to play with, Solo Que is agony.


Nope, but it is heavily imlpied that if you are master+ you probably are the top 500 though.

As far as I know, top 500 isn't enabled until you've won 50 games, and Blizz themselves enables it (judging by last season at least, they haven't made a statement on that last point this time around, and I haven't seen anyone on reddit / twitch posting about it. They let the season stabilize before letting people attain top 500 so I assume it's the same this time around).

Grandmaster is still separate, but judging by most players, if you can make it there you're most likely top 500 anyway.

Inform yourselves a bit better instead of basing your point of view in dogmatic beliefs only.

Keyword being here, but since Holla Forums isn't the only website on the Web, that hardly matters or makes me an hypocrite. Go to just about any other website where cartoons\anime\videogames are a topic and everyone will instantly understand what you mean by R34.
It doesn't even matter whether a word is "accepted" or not, it only matters what meaning is given to it. Even people that disagree with it's definiton still recognize the meaning behind it.

I was here before you, mate. Always was and always will be.
Check ID's, I wasn't the person using it.
You can include me in that "they" since I find it a stupid use for that term as well. Doesn't change the fact that that's the common meaning atributed to it.
Non sequitur. Never claimed it doesn't apply to anyone?
I do, to the point where I can recognize more than my own. "R34" is not an acceptable term here since we do have some standards. But go say it in 9gag, neofag, kotaky, 4chan, funnyjunk or even facebook. All of those are microcommunities on their own, all of them atribute that meaning to that term. Like it or not, we are the minority, not the trend setters.

At least there we agree.


And just because a bunch of underaged faggots wants their 31337 terms to stay obscure doesn't mean they are the content keepers that decide how language should or shouldn't shape itself.
Most people can't recall any other "rule of the internet" anway, besides maybe rule 63. The original meaning has been lost to the great majority of people that only know it as "there's porn of X, no doubt".

You want a better example, Murphy's Law isn't even what most people associate with it. The common sentence is a corolary of his own law and yet people now just say "Murphy's Law" every time something goes wrong without caring.

None of us individually has the right to dictate what words mean. The majority of us does. It's tyranny of the majority most of the time but that's just the way things go.

Holy fucking shit you autist, give it up, you're wrong.

You for sure are either trolling or fucked up

I have no place in your argument but this is autism, the post

Holy fucking shit you newfag, give it up, you're wrong.


I'm sorry that you perceive the way that poster used "R34" as an attack on chan culture, and I'm sorry that you're young enough that this hasn't happened to you before.
You'll hopefully live long enough to see everyone around you talking in a very different way with familiar words stripped of their previous meaning or new ones used in unfamiliar ways.
Count yourself lucky if your first language is english, at least you don't have people dropping foreign words all the time in the middle of their speech as every other language has with english.

(triple-checked)
Someone gives a though full reply with some effort put behind it and that's considered autism?
I must have mistyped the URL and wrote Twitter instead of something.

Dude can't you just admit you have autism and that you were the one that got triggered?

When it's about fucking nothing, yes. Just let it go man, you'll feel better that way.

The problem is he seems so holy and "i have to be right" about it and its really good bait.

Says the fag that believes himself the holy guardian of english language and that whatever use for a certain word you believe to be right, must be so for everyone else.

I have no problem accepting that millenials and random faggots use that term in that way and that's what it means now, even if I dislike everything about this.
You're the dogmatic asshole that thinks what he says has more value because "I'm just right, don't you know?"

Don't preach to me about "oh so holy" attitudes when you argue exactly like a priest.

My last 8 matches, damage report, matchmaking likes to make everything equal in theory, four wins and then four loses, no, we didn't even drop the ball, we were usually 2 golds and 4 silver, a group of 4 + 2 pugs, the other team varied but even then it was stacked against us (judging by how fast or hard we were steamrolled)

You're on Holla Forums, just in case you forgot. We argue about a hobby all day long here like it's our job and for shills, it is :^)

Those were all 8 matches you played at the same time as your friends? Well at least it helps to prove simply winning and losing isn't all for ranking.

What happened in your second match?
You, player 2 and 4 won roughly 20 points, but player 3 (I'm assuming you made a mistake there) won 42 points, the highest change there.
What was he playing and what did he do out of the ordinary there?

He was probably playing DPS

Player 2 usually was the healer, I played Torbjorn mostly on defense but McCree and Soldier on attack otherwise any other DPS, rarely a tank that wasn't DVa.

The others were normally Tank and second healer or DPS, that's the thing, the matches we won were usually not exactly close calls, we usually held Point A or captured both and the few payloads we played we pushed it further than the other team or we made the comeback but normally held past the first checkpoint.

The loses were quite fast and there was at least one instance that we may had a triggerbot on the enemy team, other than that it was higher ranked players.

Dont play torb, he is only good on already winning teams. Its better to play Junkrat on defense. No wonder your'e a low rank.

You have 30 seconds to find everything wrong with this image.

I played Torb only in certain situations and the armor packs proved useful, the only match I lost as torb was in a second King's Row defense, once we lost the payload I was McCree.

The fuck did you just post in here man

What's it like having a hard-on for a game that jewtubers but in the background while they talk about asinine personal issues and epolitics?


I found it in 3 seconds.

1st pic: it look like she doesnt have any mons Venus

Let's just say is not fun to be forced to lose, is like having a high difficulty spike after the first level on a single player game instead of something more forgiving.

The game is immediate shit if that phrase can be used to describe it
That's exactly what a good game should be. A tutorial that gives you a feel for the game, then tossing you out into the hardcore shit once you've learned the basics.

I hope you get paid alot to shit on overwatch, so that people buy """""good"""" games like lawbreakers.

That guy has such a punchable face holy shit.

Sam would fuck you up

Sam's actually pretty strong, so he'd likely dick you the second you laid a hand on him.

*deck you

I want Sam to dick me

Just mail him and ask if he's dtf for some discrete buttfucking.
Tell him you like sports.

*discreet
I need to spellcheck more.

Point out a massive LGBT or kike community in shit like Doom or Quake. You'll get maybe a group of five people, and an sjw forum admin. Hell, what about even F2P cancer like Warface or Evolve? Seems like only the biggest shit games have cancer communities.
Not all of them are extreme, but an overwhelming majority of them are some form of "ugh TOXIC MUCH???" faggot with shit taste and a compulsive desire to post unfunny memes and waifushit
You mean faggots? Faggots. People who play casual games competitively are faggots user, don't beat around the bush. It's as autistic as speedrunning, minus the skill level.
by….who exactly? Gearbox?
Judging by the amount of posts you have invested in this thread, you're not joking. Holy shit. Fucking kill yourself. Congratulations for showing us what type of faggot plays Overwatch, a newfag who gets triggered by Kike Killer Hyde.

...

Feel free to point out where I said that. You made a solid attempt at trying to make me out to be some hypocrite but I'm just here to tell you that your game is shit. Keep making shit up though, I know you can pull it off if you give it another shot, user.
I haven't even said what games I like. Doom, Quake, Warface, and Evolve are just examples of communities that are clearly nowhere near as faggy as Overjew.
I posted a sam hyde vid to make a comparison to the coin bullshit but if you think he's unfunny you should leave. Tyrone was just a related vid to shitpost but if you think he's unfunny too, you should just blame the faggot that wrote his script.

...

I have to agree with you on that one.

It would be like going for 1-1 in SMB with no powerups to 8-3 with no levels in the middle.

...

I've never heard of the guy, I rarely ever go on youtube, and when i do, its to see people like harry partridge, you know, people that acually have talent and can draw? I see the thumbnail, he looks like a fag, I didnt even bother to watch the video. Thats about all there is to look into that.

Yeah big games have shit communities, no surprise there. But they eventual go to the next flavor of the month game I.E. pokemon go and the people who actually like the game stay and play it. Thats why your example works, because its an old game so only true fans play it still.
There are some exceptions though, like league. God I hope that tencent game crashes soon.


Its a rumor that it forces you to win/lose. But I believe in that rumor regardless.

I mean there's like 3 replies left before autosage but why? You're just making sure he's gonna do it again.

look guize I can meme too

more like anonymoses

shit, (((our))) (((cover))) (((is))) (((blown)))

That's still a really bad way to describe it, and that still makes me question why fuckers are still playing it if it's that damn retarded.

I hate to be "that guy," user but he's fucking all over Holla Forums and Holla Forums and has more than once been on the fron page of 8ch. You sound like a newfag, just sayin.
clicked on the first vid I saw of his, jesus christ this faggot screams "I desperately want to get the lolsorandumb egoraptor audience but I'm too much of a faggot to create my own style so I just copy examples the teacher gave me at my art class in community college." I could make better humor and more original art if I were blind and depressed.
Except Hyde/MDE are almost referred to by everyone as "objectively the best comedy group/show out there." You can have your opinion but when nobody can objectively find something wrong with a comedian's humor, you know he's fucking good.
Like half the people on the internet? Yeah, an extreme minority. It's not like patreon, newgrounds, and jewtube are filled to the brim with them or anything.
You're going to criticize something you haven't even s e e n. I should be surprised but then I'm remembering the type of faggot I'm talking to right now, and what thread I'm in.
Wrong again, I've named 2 F2P games already that are pretty fucking big but nowhere near as faggot-attracting.
I don't even know why you're arguing anymore, you just stated in plain text that this game is flavor of the month garbage
normalfags have already dropped it, come out from under that rock for once
I will amputate my cock on livestream if Overjew lasts even longer than five years.
I named four games, and two of them came out within the last ~4 years.
You're bitching about the cancer that is LoL and the jew that is tencent yet here you are sucking a shit game's cock and the kike company that runs it. The irony almost hurts.

Maybe is a bad comparison, I can't find a better example, but games in general are more forgiving, even the hard ones, when it comes to OW's matchmaking it really stacks the odds against you and is not even subtle, if we got progressively harder matches then it would be fair, but when the game thinks you have won too much you are thrown into a hopeless fight most of the time, not even a challenge, a hopeless fight in every aspect.

Now that I think about it, I can only imagine what happens if someone found out when that happens and proceeded to cheat to break the system, maybe they would get matched against Cloud 9.

stop playing the fucking game, you tell AAA companies that that is an OK practice in multiplayer games. stop ruining vidya by supporting shit products, asshole.

From the thumbnail he looked like the next Chris-Chan, something to make fun of. But I might watch it, not to mention the context of what you wrote implied that thats what the video was going to be about, so thats another reason I didnt bother watching.

I like harry's art style, and his older videos are funny as well. But I'm not trying to sell you him, everyone has a different type of humor. And I said real talent like art because I respect art and like it I'm even trying to get good at it myself. Not Modern art.

Every popular game becomes a flavor of the month upon release, so its not like im admitting anything. I've never heard of warface, looking at it, it just looks like a generic shooter, but there might be more to it than that. I played evolve and possible the only reason it didnt have a shit community was because it barely lasted a week, and everyone was to busy with bigger games when it went F2P. Its also boring as fuck

Alright, I need to wash my eyes after reading that post. You win. I'll leave. Coming here was a bad idea, you've made that clear. Just, user, hear me out. Stop posting. Go back to the game, buy the shitty products you want, just please, stop sharing your thoughts here. Just a request, sorry for interrupting the thread.

I didn't even know it was a thing until I played more, and I was skeptic about it, but turns out is real.

Depends on the situation but I usually run Boulevard Boar, School McShooty, John Craft, or Robot Krillin
Pharah Faucet.
Velma because she's an OP cunt
Pacific Rim has saved me more times than I care to know
Handsoap or Woody.

I'm sorry I dont like games where you chase after a monster non stop, or just another Call of Duty game.

shhshhshh user. It's okay, relax. They're shit games but forget it, please just continue discussing overwatch.

I'm gonna hold you to that. I hate this game and would love to smugly rub its death in the faces of the few blizzfags I'm acquainted with, but if the game does last and this shithole is still up, you better deliver.

...

As much as I am on your side, the "death" of a game is a vague concept.

How close in level do I have to be to play in competitive with my friends?

1000 SR unless you are Diamond or higher.

He can't stop now

How much of a gap is that?

It's funny how people are willing to oversimplify and dumb down games to shit on them yet be completely oblivious as to how Overwatch is just as bad as the games they hate. Shitting on cod is nothing but virtue signalling at this point because it's such an overused phrase that people use in lieu of an argument. "Hate x game? You must love cod! Go back to cod! Is that a shooter that isn't battlefield? Cod!"

First you need to play 10 placement matches to get your first SR, you may get as low as 1500 I assume, the average seems to be 2500.

I'm using it as a phrase for generic basic shooters, all Call of duty games past MW2 are shit, generic, and bad.

You still lack any self-awareness about Overwatch though. If you even bothered to objectively criticize it and it's impact on gaming, you'd uninstall and inflict self harm over the next few weeks for realizing what a stupid fucking choice purchasing the game was.

you seem like a midi maze type of guy

I understand its flaws and realize it has some, but I still find it enjoyable. I play UT4 as well and its probably Objectively better, but for me they are both just as fun

It's impact on gaming isn't gonna change just because it's discussed here on Holla Forums.
2000 users are nothing compared to the literal tens of millions they have playing the game.

If you cared about "the impact on gaming", instead of simply complaining that this exists, you'd be pointing out to alternatives, starting threads about better games and compare them to Overwatch.

But instead you prefer to come here to "mine le salt ecksdee", you think your sage doesn't bump the thread when you know very well you're gonna get a reply at least, and you provide no alternative to the game because you fear being criticized for yours tastes.

For any outside looker, what he sees is a bunch of faggots that like Overwatch and discuss it in the thread and a bunch of insecure faggots that apparently don't actually like anything at all but they sure wanna tell you how much they hate this game. Stay mad, faggot. You hold no power here except the power of making yourself look like a sperg.

I just can't bring myself to play Overwatch by myself anymore. Everyone is such a fucking memer it hurts.

Every time, without fail, my team has consisted of assholes who don't know how to push an objective, who don't know proper team composition, and who generally suck no matter what.

Seriously. 2 tanks, 2 healers, and 2 DPS. How do people not understand this yet? The game has been out for months now.

You are the asshole we have to thank for all this anime bullshit where the team that's been losing the entire time does a complete 180 and wins.

Which is why Infinite Warfare is loved by your so called "normalfags" right?

The trailer for Infinite Warfare on YouTube has both a shitton of dislikes in general and the most likes of any COD trailer.

That was the point, retard

A semi futuristic setting is kinda generic now, lots of games have already done something more or less similar.
Whether it's shit and bad remains to be seen, but their fans liking or disliking it has nothing to do with it's quality has it has been proven.


This I did not knew, though I'd wager it's a counter-campaign against the dislikes by people that actually enjoy the setting and the movement style.
I expected them to hate the fuck out of the game for the new movement type that a lot of people apparently didn't like, but it seems their biggest beef with the new game is actually the setting itself.
Those plebs care more about the aesthetics than the gameplay itself, surprising no one.

So your point is that normalfags have shit taste? Wow, who would have thought? Your contribution to this board is much appreciated.

What are you talking about? I hate every cod game past MW2, and im sure everyone else on this board does too

Black Ops 1. The campaign was fun and so was the multiplayer. Everything after Black Ops 1 blew.

Oh, i thought that came out before MW2, guess my mind is fucked.

3 wins 7 losses for placement
3 games with leavers one game with a dude shit talking on mic playing rein and blaming everyone the whole game who ended last season at 27 and every other loss had a bastion or torb or both

This is the sort of thing that drives a man to drink.

Bronze or Silver? I got onto Silver with 4 wins, 4 loses and 2 draws.

gold luckily enough

Then I guess it was our individual performance, I began with 1938 then went downhill, then up, and then down as I "documented" in the thread, my new high is 1957 but I am 100pts below that right now, I think it is called ELO Hell or something, I would need to win at least 4 matches to get better but I already won 2 so that means I may be doomed to lose 4 in a row again.

yea I have no idea how this shit works out honestly
I played really really well every game even in the losing ones I was gold damage and kills on rein or healing on zen

I have gotten gold in objective and other stuff and still ranked down in some of those matches, I am not grand master but I am sure as hell I am not useless.

honestly i could care less what our team comp is. the first hurdle id like my team to overcome is lack of awareness. sound cues, health bars. just covering flanks. i have to do everything

If you simply can't win matches because your teammates are always holding you back, that's "Elo Hell". It's very debatable whether that's a thing, or whether the probabilities will eventually bring you out of any possible "Elo Hell" situation.

If you are losing more than you are gaining it's 100% the "personal skill" portion of the ranking system. In other words, the game thinks you are shit.

Oh, I thought they were the same.

The drastic difference between games in gold and games in platinum are astonishing.
Who knew that a difference of 50 points could make such a big change in the quality of teams.

"Elo Hell" does not make any sense, it does not exist. It's a myth invented by shitters to justify their position.

At any time, the matchmaking will try to put equally skilled oponents in both teams. Season 1 for me saw differences of maybe 3 ranks at most, for instance.
But since your team has 5 possible retards and the other has 6 possible retards, it's more likely that you'll win the game and rank up.
Of course, none of this applies if you are one of the retards.


If you're as skilled as everyone else, you'll notice you'll be winning and losing 50/50 games, however now you are winning and losing against much better players.

I believe you, but there's no point in arguing with the shitters "stuck" there. Ranks DO take a long time to stabilize when the initial placements are bad.

That can't be right user, I've fallen from 2400 to 2100 and rose to 2700, considering on average you lose more points when you lose than that you gain when you win I've had to have won many more games than I lost.

Except that's not true. If the game thinks you're "good" you gain more points than you lose every time.

Unless of course you're a support main, then you get dick and only when you manage to carry your team to victory through pure attrition can you get a fraction of what the DPS players get.

whats that? something like the same unreliable invisible point crap that play of the game uses?
surely you dont get points for covering flanks or standing in front of bullets so your healer can survive.

I AM a support main, i still get gain>loss

This has not been demonstrated anywhere nor does it even make any sense.
You win and lose points according to your personal contribution to the game as well as the difference between both teams.

There's a lot of factors here but a good simplification is that if you're a better player then everyone else, you'll win more often until you reach a point where everyone is equal to you and you'll naturally stick to 50/50. The reverse happens if you're worst than everyone else.


I did my placement matches as Symetra, Mercy and Ana only. Got to 2566, Platinum rating.


Unknown by design. If the exact factors where none, people would pursue them to farm ranking instead of simply playing the game.
For all we know, tanks taking hits might actually be factored there, considering there's a card for Reinhart with "damage blocked".

Most likely, each hero has their own personalized stats, tanks having "damage blocked" for instance while healers have "healing done". Then it most likely is compared to the average of all players that played the same hero to see how you rank against everyone else and that gives you your personal ranking with that hero and contribution for the game.

At least, that's how it was in Season 1 but that was possibly scraped because of Supports (they performed comparatively worse when their team was winning, a strange paradox).

You can see a poster here that played with 3 friends 8 matches in a row.

Notice how the rank they get and lose is different, but also how the bigger the change, the bigger their rank as well. The lower skilled players were pitted against better oponents so they lost less rank, possibly.
But notice as well that +42 spike, from a round where he played Support and most likely did an incredible job, comparing his rank change to his friends.

Yes

woops, I have 2 "player 2", in any case, the one after me was the usual support and the lowest rank, the other was Tank or DPS.

You can find some patterns in what they are scoring, especially if you compare player statistics. One such pattern is that Healing Done is virtually meaningless. Supports seem to be graded based on Offensive/Defensive Assists more than anything. That especially applies to Mercy since other supports all do hybrid damage so they get some of their grade from that as well.

The "paradox" that supports did poorly when their team did well is a matter of assumptions. It was never actually true, people simply assumed it to be the case because they assumed healing done to be the primary metric for supports. The argument goes that if your team is dominating there won't be nearly as much healing for you to do. Assists however, especially Offensive assists, favor the team in the lead.

As for WHY they use personal skill ranking rather than pure win/loss, it's expedient. It generally reduces complaints of "Elo Hell" because at the very least players who deserve to will move out of low brackets MUCH faster.

When you consider the factors in combination a skilled player MIGHT tip the balance in his teams favor 5% of the time. It's not going to be the full 17% you would expect from the "6 retards there, 5 here" axiom because there's simply too much going on (consider there are also 6 slots for a misplaced pro to show up on their team). Consider how many games it would take to average more wins than losses and how many wins over losses it would take to climb the ranks and you are looking at hundreds if not thousands of games for things to work out.

"Personal skill" ranking does not work at a high level of granularity, but it does work to get a general idea very quickly.

i guess thats why some games i get the entire team hugging the payload and refusing to get off it for any reason. they must have figured it gives them points.

Some of my friends seem to have noticed smaller increases in rank during matches where they had to switch heroes more often, I hope is just a coincidence because mains are a big problem as it is now, can't imagine the hell unleashed if it turns out that switching cripples your increase in rank.

Or they've figured out it fucking works. It's hard as balls to get a team off an objective once they've dug in like that.

If I may direct your attention to anons post ITT everyone listed here (excluding player 2b who only had 1 win) had 4 wins and 4 losses and yet they all ended up worse off in rank by various degrees.
I'm not sure how you can come to any other conclusion.

Look at player 2b, he's clearly, by your logic of being 'good' equals more points, he's the best in their group because he has the biggest points gain out of anyone, but when he's losing, overall he's losing more points than anyone else, now if he's performing the best in his group shouldn't that have reduced his point loss in comparison to the rest of the group?
Granted we don't have the data of the other two players, but there's still a notable trend.

For easy consumption here's the total points lost in latter 4 games:
'Me'= 105 points lost
Player 2a = 104 points lost
Player 2b = 143 points lost
Player 3 = 126 points lost

Here, how about you look at my rating changes for the entire season so far and see for yourself?

I didn't notice that, just played a game as Dva and Rein that more than covered my previous loss as Mercy/Mei.

Fucking hell fam. I didn't wake up today and think I was gonna do all this math to prove some bullshit one way or another about rank on overwatch.
Didn't even do me the courtesy of showing if it was a win or a loss or the point difference from one game to the next.

By the way you're at 32 wins and 27 losses, assuming that ??? is a loss or is that multiple games that went uncounted?

It's a win, hence +.

I'm also over 200 points higher than where I started and I had a streak of 9 straight losses. Streak bonus/penalty is a thing.

It's a prime example of calculated risk and reward, the user seems to have suffered a pretty shitty W/L string before getting very lucky and skyrocketing to a good rank before suffering a loosing string.

Somehow I doubt his skill level changed across those games and the real factor was the teams he played with.

A win with less than 9 points difference? Did you afk?

Wait I meant to say seven points difference. All these numbers…

I don't think that's meant to be a single match user, most likely a lost couple of matches and the final result was a small increase.


Did you pull that off solo btw?

Had a 6 stack for like 10 wins, almost consecutive.


the ??? was a win, followed by a loss that ended me higher than I was before the two games.

theres also a 6 point loss against a team 500 rank higher

Hmm there does appear to be some kind of win bonus applied for wining games consecutively, as far as I can tell it's 7 wins.
Works the same for losses, but this all might just be coincidental data, I'd need more people to post their gains and losses to tell properly and I've achieved what I set out to do with this so fuck that tbh.

I've not counted the games past the +??? as I don't like not having those figures. I'd rather keep it as error free as I can for simplicity sake.

But as it stands it seems as if losses don't count for more than wins and it is in fact personal effort that matters most.
As of the third image shows you played 47 games winning 24 and losing 23 and are 210 points up overall.

I told you the +??? was a win, followed by a loss placing me at 2600. The win probably put me around 2620. I noticed that I had forgotten to record it when after losing a game I was HIGHER than my previous recorded number.

Sorry I'm not perfect about keeping records like that. If you want more data, here's 3 more games immediately following the last one on that list.

Here's my PTR data from both sets (they reset it the first saturday after I started). I eventually stopped recording rank, which coincidentally happened right BEFORE they decided to push everyone down with the "lose 90, gain 2" bullshit they did for the last 2 days of PTR. At the start I put more effort into my recordings before settling into "just write down the number and math it later" This shit is all just copypasted straight from my notepad doc, I'm not going to bother cleaning it.

It should if they were all at the same rank, which is not the case.
One thing that's know is that your rank changes depends on the other team rank as well. Losing against a team with lower rank than you costs you more points than losing against a team that's higher rank than you, as per standard MMR\ELO algorythms.

Now, that player was the one in that team with the highest ranking. It's very likely that the average team they played against were slightly above the other 3 players but below player 2b in ranking, meaning that, if they lose against such team, all of his teammates are gonna lose less points than player 2b.

Isn't it just fucking great how matchmaking either gives you games that are piss easy or near impossible and there's no middle ground. God I love "skill" based matchmaking and forced 50-50 winrates. Boy what fun.

I thought that as well last season but this time around I'm getting fucking amazing matches that are very closely matched and don't give me any angst about losing.
You're probably extremely unlucky and are in the sub 2300 rank zone.

I got to this rank by playing Genji and not switching. Well, also playing Pharah and not switching.

Can we see that screenshot?

I have a question I should have asked sometime before hitting level 200. How does armor interact with constant damage like Winston's and Zarya's primary fire? Is it actually just a bunch of small ticks and the armor reduces the damage of each one, or does it count each continuous "stream" of damage as one attack, or what?

It's a bunch of small ticks that all get reduced.

the armor reduces small hitting over time effects like winstons tesla canon. Thats why DVA was a big counter to the 2 winston rushes in season 1. I remember seeing 5 dva's on volskaya once, shit was funny. I dont know about zarya though, it does reducethe damage, by how much i have no idea.


only 10% of non switching genjis are good. And they are only good in bronze level :^)

Neat, thanks

The damage ends up being reduced by 50%. At maximum charge Zarya does 9.5 per round normally, and armor works by reducing by 5 or 50%, whichever is less.

Interestingly a Zarya with some kind of buff AND max charge can get over that armor breakpoint.

Each unit of ammo from continuous beam/energy weapons is reduced by armor.
