Overwatch, It Isn't New Anymore

i'd say pharah is probably more unpopular. just too easy to get sniped down when players are good, and especially with ana becoming a more common pick.

**synistar** · 2016-09-26 12:56

Yes and no. It all depends on individual skill though. A crazy sniper can shut Pharah down. A team that doesn't adjust and someone refuses to switch off of Junkrat/Tracer/Reaper deserves to get destroyed. And yea I play Zeny and i can't aim worth a damn against a Pharah while focusing on healing.

Watching the Overwatch Open and it's Envy vs Cloud9 atm. Crazy seeing how aware of everything Envy is. Envy on Hollywood attack and they're pushing the point and Talespin seemingly randomly throws his hook on top of the building and pulls down a Reaper that I didn't even see (camera was showing Talespin the entire time during that section). He wasn't even waiting for him to come to the edge, he was facing the point then just turns left and up and throws it.

And let me put this out there. Any hero can be good if you know how to use them. Also, lol Ana Boosted Bastion: https://clips.twitch.tv/overwatchope...ingaleJebaited

**Meian** · 2016-09-26 14:03

Speaking of Pharah, finding myself having to take her down myself as Ana a lot more often than I'd like to... or even stop her ult with Sleep Dart.

Seems getting to Diamond as solo and mostly support isn't going to happen. The overextending is what is constantly throwing our wins.

**synistar** · 2016-09-26 14:16

Yea. It's possible, but the main thing is tackling the negative attidudes. A bad round happens, but when someone goes all sourpuss, then it precipitates to everyone else. That's what loses games followed by skill.
And you have no idea how many times I spam "Group up here" when I believe the team is overextending.

Mechanically, I'm probably best at support (Zeny > Mercy > Ana) followed closely by Reinheart/Zarya/Situational Winston. Don't ask me to dps. I'll let everyone down. Like that one round I tried to soldier 76 and got gold elims with 1. Ugh my bad.

So many people in gold do this, it's maddening. 45 seconds left to win on defense, sitting on point ant 5/6 of the team goes hunting for them and get wiped and it's just me trying to hold off an entire team. It's like they actually want to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Who would have known "They have to come to us, no need for us to come to them" is such a hard fucking concept to grasp.

Agreed, sadly the amount of people that don't know how to play said characters is what causes the majority of players to rage when those characters get selected.

That clip was awesome. lol

*Defending team rushes the Attacking team's spawn at the start of a match*

**Melena** · 2016-09-26 16:50

The only ones should be a mei to ice wall spawn and junkrat to trap the spawn to slow them down

**Karbuncle** · 2016-09-26 18:28

People who camp up on the spawn alone are absolutely stupid. You're giving the enemy team a sizable advantage if they take you out immediately, you're going to have to walk all the way back cause theres 0% chance you have a Teleporter up if you even have Symettra. Going into a battle of 4v6 or 5v6 can easily cause a lose if the enemy team is smart enough to take advantage of it.

I get some of them are just trying to catch the team off guard for a quick kill but if they die cause they can't escape they've given the other team a huge advantage, even worse if they were a Tank/Healer.

I love when sprays come together like this

**Tomiko** · 2016-09-30 23:11

Watching the Overwatch Open Grand Finals and EnvyUs got rolled by Misfits 3-1.

**kisada** · 2016-09-30 23:13

soon was ridiculous. that pulse bomb at the end was absurd

**Celeras** · 2016-10-01 13:18

FUCK I forgot about rating decay this season. Fell all the way to 3000 from inactivity.

So much for the push to top 500! Id never make it (need like 3800 now I think and I wasn't master yet) but it woulda been fun to try. Bahhhhh

**synistar** · 2016-10-01 16:14

Teammate gets asked to not junkrat. Picks Torb to troll the team.

Could be worse. I've been trying to climb to platinum solo que after I lost a couple placement matches due to leavers. After much yo-yoing I made it to 2497... Only to lose the next game because our Mei refused to change to another healer, or anything. Others were willing to switch, Saying our comp wasn't the problem. Now I'm back down to 2300. This is about the fifth time I've run into a lose streak after getting so close.

Sombra got leaked. Original image even had a link to a employee Blizz web page. Someone is gettin' shitcanned over this.

Halloween brawl looks like a zombie horde mode on Eichenwalde.

**Karbuncle** · 2016-10-08 15:26

I'm excited for Sombra... not doubt... been following videos about it for a while. But personally? I would die happy if we had a PvE Horde mode on Eichenwalde... is this on a stream or just more of the leak? Cause I want it to be true.

Edit: Blizzcon isn't til Novermber so I'm willing to believe it was all part of the leak. God I would really pray this is real...

**Tomiko** · 2016-10-08 16:44

Hope it's real since she looks awesome.

More importantly, it seems some of the Halloween costumes got leaked from the upcoming comic. Witch Mercy

, Headless Horseman (with Pumpkinhead) Reaper & Dr. Frankenstein Junkrat.

I haven't played much lately (got annoyed with teammates and went back to Destiny), but I will get that Mercy skin.

Edit: The Halloween packages are expected to start Monday or something.

**Corrderio** · 2016-10-08 19:50

She looks like a punk rocker more than a hacker, but I can't complain since yay new heroes.

Please don't be an attacker though...
