    1v1 is mostly about knowing how to do the matchup. Few of them are very skill based like DVa is just walk at each other hold M1, hope you lose meck first and then kill Hana.

    I'M CLIMBING.

    2942.

    I figured that it'd be safe to play because of HOTS Oni Genji promotion this morning.

    Instead of a pro genji I got a sombra and a widowmaker, and then someone dc'ed.

    We won 5v6 somehow.

    I am unfathomably frustrated and upset right now. Just dropped by over 100 points after 4 losses spread out over today. I may just be done with competitive for the rest of the season.

    It sucks Jon but that is the name of the game. I went from 3410 to 3257, and with that I saw an attacking Bastion while I solo healed to lose the game, a team that couldn't take out an attacking Torb on Payload, and a few other stupid things.

    Admittedly you are correct about not having much of a reason to climb anymore. I just want to get to 3500 to get the 2000 competitive points, but once anyone reaches a breakpoints on the brackets this close to season end such as yourself, might as well quit.

    Before today my winrate on Zarya was 65%. I know I'm not perfect and there are many things that I could be doing better, but today it felt like (besides game 3) that it was out of my hands entirely. Here is a basic list of what happened in those four losses.

    1. Lijang. A normal game, acceptable loss. The team just didn't come together. DPS weren't getting kills and healers weren't keeping people alive.

    2. Numbani, against one of those bad healers. This time he goes Rein and the rest of his team cleans ours up. We have a zenyatta who always waits too long to ult, resulting in the team dying and his ult being wasted. A frustrating game that could have been won if the DPS were targeting the right enemies.

    Was forced off Zarya on to Tracer to keep their payload from caping the final point. This failed due to a d.va flying up and off it and not staying within the range to block movement.

    3.Dorado. After 2 games of Zarya and losses, I feel like playing a bit of Sombra. I do, and the team loses their shit and half go dps because I don't immediately change. I stay as sombra for the first defence point, before changing to Zarya once it becomes clear that the team are a bunch of children who are going to throw a tantrum if they don't get their way. We barely lose the defence, they make it with 30 seconds remaining.

    On attack, one of those DPS guys take Zarya so I go healer.

    I'm coordinating team ults. "When I use Zen ult, Zarya and hog use yours."
    I bust out ult and zarya.. does nothing as roadhog ults.

    The entire team goes ZARYA WTF.

    "I left team chat because genji's voice annoyed me."

    I lose my collective shit.

    4.Kings Row. We manage a good defence and take them to overtime before they cap. Cool. Groovy. Team is working well.

    We go on attack and a duo decides to Pharah mercy. Cool, okay, that can work.

    They spend the entire game on the ground, not flying or killing anyone. 2 team slots wasted. The Mercy doesn't get a healing medal because Pharah is taking no damage at all.

    Gold: Ana
    Silver: Soldier
    Bronze: Roadhog.

    I flip my collective shit at them for refusing to change after it not working after 2 minutes.

    But no matter, keep playing right?

    Most of the team dies while im running back from spawn to point A. Mercy rez' them, I see d.va has her ult.

    I throw out a Blackhole and catch the entire enemy team in it.

    THIS IS IT. GO TIME.

    No.

    As soon as they respawn instead of engaging they all run away

    I die from the collective enemy team collapsing on me like my singularity.

    On the bright side their Lucio and Zen panic ult'ed at the same time, so surely we'll be able to make something out of this, right?

    No.

    Just no.

    Playing on the weekend is so not worth it.

    ~_~

    There's a week left. There's no point in stopping now if I'm being honest. Worst case scenario I get a few hundred more CP than I would have otherwise, best case, I go on an amazing streak, get the best players ever and hit Master.

    One can dream...

    Managed to download it for the free weekend.

    Part of the reason I never bought this was because I figured I'd suck at it, and part of it was my abysmal internet connection.

    Well, I guess I'll never know the former because of the latter. I can't even get through the tutorial without being booted off.

    Oh, and fuck any game developer who makes it so you must maintain a connection to play a friggin' tutorial. :mad:

    Sigh. Well, the title screen and character gallery look nice.

    They cancelled the graphic novel :(

    Apparently, what they had done was no longer true. Getting ahead of retcons ftw

    This game is so stupid, lol.

    Just went on 5 match winstreak and now I'm at 3001, 2 points below where I was before I had my 4 back to back losses.

    It's based on who you win /lose against, not the result as such, right?

    It's based on a few things.

    Which side has the high/lower combined SR + How you actually perform in the match.

    Kinda interested in seeing them but I feel like you are just never gonna take the teleporter.

    Also, you thought the tanky meta was bad? Everyone is gonna get even tankier!

    Changes are on PTR already. So when they said soon, I guess they meant now.

    Teleporter is still strong on point 1, but you now have the options to reinforce a team, rather than bolster via quick reinforcements.

    The 5 to 7 meter range increase on her left click is very nice, it actually deals insane damage and you can jump around/juke while holding it without worrying about aiming, which is great against soldiers, mcrees etc.

    Teleporter is much stronger now, 400 HP total and 350 of that regenerates, before you could slowly destroy it even with an active Symtetra guarding.

    Could only play around a bit on the practice range but I am really digging the changes.

    More range with primary weapon is nice, 6 turrets at the start with lower CD was absolutely necessary, the shield generator ulti looks great and I'm sure that shield wall will be fun to tinker around with.

    So yeah, totally psyched to use Symmetra more. I used her from time to time but more so than her ulti at later points, it was the three turrets with long CD thing that really crippled her. You absolutely needed the 40 secs or so at the beginning of defense to place enough turrets which made it very hard to rebuild after your death.

    The shield wall is the one I'm most excited for. Hopefully makes Rein less vital when attacking.

    I was up late last night trying to hit master with my friend before bed.

    I gave up around 1 am.

    As I laid in bed, when ever I closed my eyes, all I could see was Overwatch.

    Overloaded.
