Overwatch, It Isn't New Anymore

[Tokitoki]

I'm always on tank or healer depending on what the rest of the team picks. Nobody wants to play them so someone has to. It's true, though, nobody ever looks behind them even when I'm saying into the mic "Genji/Tracer/Reaper behind on me!" over and over.

Yah this is always annoying to me... "X is flanking, (direction)" ... > X preceded to give it to 'em.

Usually its a Reaper who then Ults my entire incompetent team... or a Genji who picks off our healers dooming our fight... I just really hate when we have flankers and nobody is on a class to take care of them. Its why I really love a good Winston when I'm healing, they are usually the most attentive to the situations around them, especially considering their job as a harasser for the enemy team too...

Got out of a game where the Reinhardt on my team bitched at me for not using rez when this was the same tank who on multiple occasions charged in on the point head on instead of guarding the team. Got POTG then the Windowmaker on my team who couldn't even counter a Mei was being a smartass for that.

Seriously, fuck Mercy. This shit ain't worth it.

I just very carefully troll bad comps in competitive. Like 70% of the time I'm the only healer. I give it a shot, if it doesn't work, I ask for a 2nd healer. If no one changes, I wait a bit, then when I die, I change of healer. THEN people start freaking. It's fun to watch the chat or listen to comms when that happens. The end result is usually 6 people on totally random classes dying over and over.

Weird game. 4 stack + me + solo in Nepal. Stack goes Rein + Bastion + Pharah/Genji/Junk + Hog. Solo goes 76. I go 'meh.' Mercy 3-0 win. da faq.

Pretty much the same for me unless I go Mei (when we have 2x Healers and at least 1 tank). I don't understand why so many people hate going those classes. Zenyatta is even the perfect healer for those that want to DPS.

Had some decent and shitty games today. KotH where one person left after we got stomped round 1 (no one wanted to go healer, so I did and kept getting flanked). From there everyone else leaves until there's just 2 of us. I don't shoot at the other team in hopes maybe they'll let me get some achievements. Nope, I get camped at my base. They start saying hi (trying to get me to come out?) but I change to Bastion and start shooting them. I ended up getting kicked for "inactivity" despite actually doing things. lol

Then there's the idiots that can't tell their head from their ass. Guy playing Ana on Route 66 Defense like he's a DPS. Guy wasn't really healing (that I saw) and was rushing the other team. -_-

Teamed with some others I met in a game. In our last game I think we had all 5 gold medals. Normally this wouldn't be too bad except for that we were Reinhardt (me) + Zenyatta + Lucio. I think I had gold eliminations and Zenyatta had damage. That should tell you how good our DPS were.

I think seeing these kinds of players is why so many seem to think that ~2500 is average even though it apparently isn't. :/

[Tokitoki]

I'm pretty much convinced that the majority of people got placed higher than they should have and now it's a downward spiral. I hovered around 50 last season before dropping in the last day or two to 47 from just plain shit and trolls. Started this season at 2400, got up to 2500 after a couple good teams/games, and now I'm down to 2100.

Lost 200+ SR yesterday. I was solo heal in 3 or 4 games; tank in 1. Last two games were on Lijiang. First game we lost first two rounds before anyone wanted to switch. I had asked for a second tank and healer rather than 4 DPS. Finally switched in round 3 which we then won. Couldn't hold on after that, though.

Last game we had double healer for once (Me on Lucio and an Ana), D.Va, Rein, Junk, Mei. Were playing against Reaper, Pharah, Winston, D.Va, Zeny, Lucio. Nobody could kill the Pharah so I asked the Junk to switch off to something else. "Why do I have to switch? I have 4 golds, I'm doing my job." I replied that this wasn't working and nobody was killing off the Pharah or Reaper and that we (healers) were getting flanked constantly. I said I would switch off healer, but I'm sure nobody else wanted to go healer. He didn't switch, Mei stayed Mei, Rein went Zarya. Lost 0-3.

Medals shown during the match are cancer and should be removed. Just because you're getting gold in the middle of the match doesn't mean you're awesome. If your team comp isn't working then people need to switch. Why the fuck are people so god damned stubborn about this shit? Do they really just want to lose that badly?

My friend is still in free fall. Down ~900 rating since he calibrated at 3100s.

[Tokitoki]

I'm thinking the next week is going to continue with freefall until people actual place where they should and then I'll be able to climb back up some. Problem is I have no friends so I'm usually doing solo queue.

[shukudai]

>_> That seems to be my issue as well. A whole bunch of people have added me, but rarely does an actual group form to play for even an hour. Is there like a BG ppls group?

I guess ideally I'm looking more for like a grouping of people who are on/off all day, but always enough to make a team or replace someone, because the solo queue is painful as fuck.

[synistar]

I'm solo queue low 2500s. I am up about 50% + 2 games for win rate right now. Main thing when I play competitive, I need to take 5-10 min to relax between games. I play better when I'm not tense, so I'm not good for chain queues.

Though in my one loss last night, teammate who played DPS apologized after the match for sucking. That's a first in competitive for me.

[Tokitoki]

I'm OttomanRob#1594. I usually play from 5-6:30ish EST. Sometimes Headspace and tyven are on at the same time as me and we play some games.

Other than them, I had a few people add me from games, but I don't see them on anymore.

EDIT: It's amazing they apologized. We had a guy on Reaper on Attack King's Row who may not have got a single elim and then blamed us and the other team. "They heard me every time" or "you guys didn't help."

[Nitsuki]

Ninjasyxx#1306 i am on battle.net in general a lot, so shoot me a message there and i'll jump on ow if i'm not busy.

[Corrderio]

Mine is on the OP. Though the best way to reach me is through Steam.

[shukudai]

Shukudai#2807 here. If I'm in game, just invite me :3 I'll even bother putting in my headset!

I do wish there was a team or guild function in the game for this kind of thing. Just friending people doesn't have the same effect. If your constantly looking for a group Overwatch's reddit discord is really active and is used by alot of people for finding groups. My tag is in OP if you or anyone else wants to play sometime, I'm usually on everyday.

[synistar]

Maybe get a group on the BG discord server going. I'm just terrible about being on voice chat is all.

I'd be down for that.

[Corrderio]

My voice is shit, but I'd be up for it for some advice/etc.

[Karbuncle]

I dont like randomly inviting people, which is why I dont invite the few BG'ers I know on. My Rank is around 2400, if I'm online and not in a quick play match (I.E Practicing my Ana skillz) I'm probably okay to invite... I'm just not an initiator cause I dont want to be blamed for a bad group!
