Overwatch, It Isn't New Anymore

Ended up going 5/5... Placed 44. Figured out we were getting rekt cause my brother was already ranked so we were getting paired with people who were as high as 60~ and im not that good im a scrub

6-4 for placement Rank 51. All on solo queue. Sometimes I expect too much out of people and get only disappointment. At least the final game I had people on comms and we stomped the other team so badly they rage quit on round 3 in Lijang Tower. But damn some matches take forever to finish.

Picked up the game today, Pharah is incredibly natural to play - years of tribes + quake/ut I suppose.

Honestly I don't know why it feels like whenever I use Reaper/Roadhog/Torb shotguns all the pellets fly off to god knows where but when somebody else does it's oneshot city.

**Tokitoki** · 2016-07-01 11:54

Sometimes I get that same feeling. Especially with short characters as Roadhog. I think it's just that I completely miss.

I just had a 15 minute first round of Lijiang Tower with the worst teams in history. I contested the point at 0-0 on Lucio for about 7 minutes straight by wall-riding the entire time near the ceiling of the hexagonal room while my team died over and over trying to enter. The other team was equally bad; they could not hit me with anyone for their lives. My left thumb is fucking killing me (jump is L3 for me so I can aim and jump/wallride). We actually won though.

I'll be on this weekend for it. Haven't had time to play for awhile so I'll need to do a few quick play games to get back into things before I do my ranked matches.

Mal, Killer, and I were planning to do placement matches around 930 ET tonight if you want to join.

5 matches into placement, haven't had a single one without some form of cancer on my team. You guys got lucky with your games, I'm finding it hard to muster the motivation to do another 5.

**Karbuncle** · 2016-07-01 19:48

I never really had anyone "bad", but I had plenty of shit games...

**synistar** · 2016-07-01 20:05

I had to take command on one of my games and ask my team to attack from the left on Numbani overtime. Won the match with that strategy after doing attack the previous round and no one listened to me to go left. No, it wasn't easy. But I took my licks and knew when I was outplayed and out-teamworked.

I work tonight or else I would.

**chazzyphizzle** · 2016-07-01 21:24

4-6 in placements got placed at 50. lots of leavers surprisingly, feels bad

**Corrderio** · 2016-07-01 23:19

I only did one placement match so far. Wasn't too bad but I hope the whiners and shit phase out soon.

**tyven** · 2016-07-01 23:36

they willn't. that is where 99% of the whiners are. i definitely prefer quick play these days

Shits pretty intense sometimes. Wulf and I queued up duo to our first one and it was a bad joke, team all over the place getting steam rolled. Met up with others as the night went on and the 10th match was by far the best. Defending V. Industries and they capped both points in about 5 minutes. Rather than say we're fucked, we fuck em up and cap both in 2 minutes. They managed to cap 1 point with their remaining 5 min and we capped both within maybe 3 or 4. Pretty energetic game. Plenty of other highlights throughout the night too. Two or three games the other team just literally fell apart and left. Kind of shitty to see it happen when the one or two randoms are left solo. Hope they do something about that or are super strict on the whole bans for leaving bit.

Don't think consoles have to worry about the toxic shit as much as PC, no chat spam, no way to communicate with the other team unless you wanna send them network messages, and most of your team mates are either in another chat channel oblivious that they can switch, or just mic-less.

**Seravi Edalborez** · 2016-07-02 02:05

First world problems: last 2 loot boxes each had a legendary skin... for characters I never play (Mccree vigilante, Bastion steambot).

As much as we had MLG Tracers Pharahs and god knows what else tonight, I gotta say every single Bastion was perfectly content to let me stand still and shoot him dead. As Mercy.

That Volskaya game was the best PVP game I've played in forever. Just god damn nuts; I had like 25 eliminations on Zen.

Went 6-4 in my placement games with Mal and we both got LV 54. The loss penalty is ridiculous though; went up to 55 winning two, then dropped a whole level each for my next two losses. So much fun though; people actually get on their mic and strategize on console for once. You still end up with folks like the Hanzo / WM John, Seravi, Killer and me had in the last game. Fuckers did absolutely nothing.

30/300 for golden so far, long way away lol. Really loving to play Zarya lately for comp. matches, I just point left click at people and they just die.
