FeelsOverwatchManEdit: I almost forgot one of my favourite games where after getting steamrolled switched to a 5-tank, one-healer setup where we ended up winning.

Mei is hyper strong against GOATS. Until that's gone or lessened she's a great pick. Good burst, excellent CC, self-sufficient, and a zoning ultimate.I always wondered what it was like in the lower ranks, kind of curious, but not curious enough to sabotage comp matches constantly to get there. How the fuck I've stayed in mid-diamond since the games launch almost exclusively playing Mei and as of late switching to Brig every now and then, is beyond me.
You wouldn't believe the amount of shit you get in diamond for picking Mei!
Terraj_RSL Very nice!
I got told I'm OP on Tracer last night. This enemy Ashe was carrying her team (and beating the crap out of me) so I finally stuck her with a Pulse Bomb, met her back at her spawn and kept her there for almost the whole rest of the match.
Felt awesome >.< fear the Tracer!
McCree/Sombra. Easy peasey.This kind of tracer play is literally the worst thing about bronze right now

Thanks.
I improved my gameplay by watching guides/tips/coaching videos on youTube and high level streamers on Twitch.Damn, I should really play more. I'd love to hit plat but I definitely need more practice.
Same here, during my grind to Platinum the best games I had were in Bronze, where everyone was just having fun. Now it seems the toxicity levels, leavers & "blame everyone but myself", increases in tangent with your SR rank.Huh, I find bronze is often way more chill than my time in the higher ranks in days gone by - people tend to know they're bad and just are trying to have a good time.
I always found Plat the most toxic and variable in quality versus gold (lowest I've ever been, placed there in first season) through to high Master. It's pretty grim at times.Same here, during my grind to Platinum the best games I had were in Bronze, where everyone was just having fun.

I am trying to make get back into this game, it feels like the arcade stuff is made to be awful so you don't play it? I'm just tyring to unlock a skin but its been misery of people not wanting to work together, or in the case of deathmatch people working together in a mode they shouldn't be. And I don't mean getting caught on the wrong end of a multiple way firefight. I mean like people standing around and not shooting each other and exclusiving shooting everyone else.
Shit is not fun
Mystery heroes is my go-to arcade mode. You get to learn new heroes and it doesn't get too sweaty since it's random as hell.
Yeah no I wasn't suggesting you weren't, just suggesting that smurfs are replicating this technique to grief bronze rank games.
Ohhh ok I was like "I really don't think I'm the worst thing in the game." Lol
Goodness no, I'm really sorry if you took it as a personal attack, I just mean that strategy is really annoying and is something that smurfs (not you) are using to grief lower ranked players.
This is crazy, if it's working and your team are winning then keep doing it. If the enemy team don't peel to fix the spawn camp and they're suffering for it it's on them. You're there to win not subscribe to a self-enforced code of honour.I'm super-sensitive lol I need to be conscious of it 'cause I take everything personal >.< it's a genuine character flaw.
In general I have strict rules for spawn camping - do it once. A great Mercy, Moira, Ana, Zen can carry games and stopping them from participating in the next teamfight is real value - but it's also a pretty unkind thing to do to someone, particularly a support with limited self defense, so I never do it more than once.
A carry DPS is another proposition though...

To be honest most spawn camping I've seen tends to be ineffective long term anyway
I like this.
Which platform do you play on?yeah try being in bronze with smurfs griefing you then tell me that
Same here. Rough night. Almost everyone wanted to be DPS, and no one as tank, and none wanted to play as a team. Finally I ended up in a team where everyone wanted to be support so I switched to tanking and we won. Really need to improve my Rein-game if I want to be able to tank in comp.Rough day for me; Went 7-20. There were only 2 to 3 of those I could've pulled out by playing out of my mind. Hopefully the matchmaker is nicer to me tomorrow.

It always makes me laugh when someone kills me in Deathmatch then follows it up with a tag spray, a teabag, or a combination of both.
I mean, the reason I'm always 8th isn't because I'm trying to kill other players; it's because I'm NOT trying to kill other players. I spend 99% of the match running around and the other 1% messing with people.
Killing me isn't a big deal.
there are so many selfish, petty, spiteful people playing this game
I love OW but some days I just cannot deal with it
I managed to finally play a bit with Danj yesterday. It went OK I feel, we went 1-2 I think?
Even after all the nerfs, Briggite is so good. The changes have really only highlighted the way she was probably meant to be played - A bit more conservatively prior to team fights, occasionally swiping away at the front to proc her passive while spying for weaknesses and eyeing your rear to be sure your teammates aren't being dived. I don't really miss any parts of her kit... except for the insta-kill on Tracer, that mattered allot to me. I don't even miss the damage against everyone else. It's just that I can't kill Tracer specifically in one go.
I like her allot for the same reason as Roadhog - That I can focus all of my technical skill into brief moments of concentration, but I think I may like Briggite more. At least now - Little matches the feeling of old Hog hooking someone and deleting them, but the feeling of macing a Pharah is also really satisfying. I don't know. The SFX for hits on the whip shot sounds so good too. I like moving the bulk of my mental capacities to positional concerns and occasionally still going YOLO.
Yeah, something like that. The last game was a total shitshow, not much we could do to salvage it, and after that I was just tilted so I had to quit.
Guys I did it! I'm back in the 4 digit SR range and out of sub-Bronze (barely) and back in regular bronze.

Would likely report someone if I saw that. Messes up the game for those who want to play it properly. I don't understand, take it to your private, custom game.
Damn that looks like a painful dip, congratulations on the climb.Guys I did it! I'm back in the 4 digit SR range and out of sub-Bronze (barely) and back in regular bronze.
