    Roadhog/Zarya I haven't played, but Lucio/Mercy is incredible. Resurrect>Sound Barrier can turn the whole game and get a team kill.

    --

    The standard of play in competitive, even in the ranking matches, seems to be higher than normal. You do still get a few cock-ups, and a few people dicking around, but most players seem to be taking it semi-seriously.
    The first match I played had 3 Zarya, 2 Symettra, and a Reinhardt. People were literally screaming down their mics about horrible team composition, not that it mattered in the end.

    Also, games seem shorter. Probably because they are.
    We defended Hollywood, and had a total lockdown. At no point did they manage to get an uncontested capture zone.
    Game times out, switch roles, and we capture the payload... At which point the game ends in a victory.

    I don't know, but I presume it would be the same on other maps - if the first offensive team doesn't capture point A, then the second ONLY has to capture point A. And the second team has to either push the payload to the next checkpoint, or just has to get it further than the first team managed. Can anyone else confirm anything for that?

    --

    Also, Weekly Brawl is Pharah/Mercy, reduced cooldowns... The games last forever. Several minutes of overtime as we just get repeated resurrections from both teams on the capture point.

    Can confirm, the second team only has to get past where the first team did on payload. Don't even have to make it to the checkpoint if they didn't manage it.

    I really like the Anubis system. 'Time bank' or whatever. Basically each team has 10 mins to catch as many points as they can, you finish the map, it's opp turn.

    I went 7-3. 53 skill.

    Went 4/6, won the first four, lost the next six. Some were extremely close, others were shitstomps because people refused to switch picks, or decided to troll. I thought I played fairly well in all of the games.

    Got placed at rank 52.

    Went 3/7, placed in at 53, so obviously sensitive to how you play.

    Had 5/5, started with 53.

    Competitive is a lot of fun, for now. Really liking it. Any chance for the EU players to play a few games together?

    4/6, 49 skill :/ I'm guessing higher is better?

    Well, enjoy your easier games! It'll all balance out eventually as you play more, anyway.

    Realized that in my placements so far I've just been playing support/tank. It'll be interesting to see what turns out.

    Not home for another week, no idea how I'll go in competitive - maybe 5-5/6-4.

    Continuing in my grievances against Competitive, the current set up for rounds is fucked.

    Playing Temple of Anubis:
    They take both points, they get two points.
    We beat their time by three minutes, we get two points.
    They take point A in Overtime, they get one point.
    We take point A with two minutes to spare but don't take point B, one point.
    Sudden Death, they win, they win game.

    Fuck. That. Noise.

    I love time bank. We got stomped in 2 mins first round. We did second round in 5.

    We held them at point 2 next game for like 8 mins, then took last round to win 3-4. Epic.

    Temple of Anubis is my ultimate hate map, I am not looking forward to any competitive matches on it.

    Ilios and Liajiang tower are my best buds though. Simply because Lucio thrives at either.

    Leavers are super fucking irritating, even worse when one triggers another to leave and it becomes impossible to win. -_-
