Ha ha, f*ck you RNG.

Playing Mystery Heroes attack on Rialto map, defenders get triple Junkrat to start the match and we spend the first couple of minutes getting bombarded from all sides. We finally manage to push the payload in overtime and get to the first checkpoint, only for the RNG to end up giving the defenders three Torbjorn who set their turrets up in the building across from the bridge and we spend the rest of the match getting cut to pieces because RNG gives us a close-range comp.

People will be back for Sym and the new hero once that gets revealed. But this meta has been the most boring of them all it seems like. I'd like to even turn back to dive if the option was there.

Forget the thread. Barely anyone in my list is playing this game. I'm surprised people still post in here.

I still play a little haha. what I recently noticed is that I don't have 5 pages of friends who have placed, it's down to 2, but the people I consistently play with are all there. Chalk it up to summer for a few. I do see some people I haven't seen for a year online. But overall the health of the community seems a bit down, I still see a lot of unique players though, which is impressive for 400+ games played this season

I'm glad we don't have endorsements yet, because fuck this game right now. The first game I play in over 2 weeks, and no one is in voice except a guy bitching about having one healer (which I switch to, but he ignores), we have a nonsensical team comp, and getting spawn camped from the onset. Of course I am like "fuck this" and quit immediately. This is going to me my worst season of all time, but just you try and make me give a shit when the game is just such shit right now. Screw this meta and screw brigette. Symmetra is coming, LFG is coming, Endorsements are coming, all good things, but if I can't get out of this funk, then overwatch is over for me. Which might not even be that bad a thing. 2 years, most of them good times, it's been a hell of a ride, but right now, the game is simply awful.

I had a rough batch of comp games the other day. First match gets canceled right away because someone quits.

Next match starts ok, but again, someone quits. We manage to make a decent showing with only 5 players until the next round starts and we get a 6th. Win the second point, team switches up for the third point but can't get it done. Not bad considering the rough start, so I play another. Next match is immediately ruined again because someone takes an early death and leaves the match.

Should've quit while I was behind. Next match is defense on Volskaya....Hog and Reaper decide that they are going to go right up outside the attacker spawn. Steamrolled the rest of us, took the point, couple more leave, and we never recover. I finished the match up and called it a night.

Yea, no matter what they do, trying to stop people from quitting at the start is impossible unless you get a full group. Hopefully the incoming role queue LFG system will alleviate this issue.

I still play basically every day but just not as late at the mo so usually finished playing by the time US folk are on.

Had a mystery game attack on Hollywood. We had two Brigs (I was one) a Zen, Mercy and two Bastions. No one died and we just walked through to the finish. Felt bad. Brig is kinda ridiculous but two is crikey motherfuck.

Not really. Never got around to drawing any OW fan art.

There is no way Symmetra can make the game better, in fact it's going to make the game a lot worse. Everything we knew about map advantage, positioning or relative safety etc will go out of the window. Stuff that is not supposed to be reaching certain places, will be getting there. Chokepoints will be meaningless and even more boring AF tank heavy comps will be played on even more points/maps. You thought you could counter 303 with junkrat spam at the choke? Sorry we're already on the point, we never passed the choke, btw there is this inifite shield right here, you have to come to us, glhf.

When I login it says June 19th, Tuesday at 9pm PM (PDT) until 10pm PDT... is that their usual patch hours?

I guess the patch will come next week after season 10 is done :(

After dropping from a season high of 3050 back down to 2670, I am now back up to 2900. God, there's no worse feeling of finally getting over that hump of being on the border of diamond only to fall back down 300 points. There's no feeling like it tbh.

Go orisa and spam "do you need a hug?"

Yeah i had to report two dudes on no limits for griefing and spam yesterday, this community is lost.
Who throws games on arcade ffs :|

Yup. It's a struggle. No idea if I will even get back before season ends.
If you're on 2900s id advise you to wait for the placements tbh, I'll pray for your sanity if you decide to keep going, if it helps

what platform are you on? i've never heard anything remotely resembling this in the year and a half i've owned the game.

there was one day where i kept running into a super racist duo and muted them, and a few times that really pessimistic people made a comp match less fun, but that's really all.

Games ending with +1 gold kills. Matchmaking must be having a hard time finding anyone to match me in because I'm getting crushed.

Well, today I've been on the crushing team for several games. Its why I decided to quit early instead of push my luck. Last 2 games we full held, then on attack won on first push.

That brought me to 6-1 in placements so far, playing only Moira, Mercy, and Orisa. Might finish placements tonight, not sure yet.

Apparently I'm a Reindhart main. This character is dumb as fuck. Mercy and Sym require more mechanical skill.
