So how are your games going lately? [megathread]

[Drakpower]

Yes, it's such a dumb, petty, thing but it makes me crazy. When they first showed the trailer with her weirdass run I'm like... why can she still see her hands in front in the game if she holds them down when she runs?

WHATEVER. I CAN ACKNOWLEDGE IT IS LITERALLY THE MOST TRIVIAL THING ON EARTH TO CARE ABOUT BUT IT STILL MAKES ME TWITCHY.

Dude, I'm with you, it drives me nuts. I try to run behind my team so that I know that they don't see it, lol

[A-sayo]

Moira: So on your own screen her hands are infront of her, but everyone else see her running with them behind her :P I guess it's kind of the same for all heroes, I just never thought about it until I saw Moira.

Just like Zarya melee animation which isn't the same depending on perspective (she punches on your screen but everyone see you use the back of the gun instead). :P

336 levels later I finally got the Tracer patch icon

[Orby]

Been playing so much Death match lately... But using it as a practice range... and boy do I suck at aiming with widow haha

[Fenzha]

Recently i've been getting a "Your display driver has stopped responding and recovered" thing every few games when i've been trying to play. This doesn't happen with any other game and it seems to have started around the time of the latest patch...
Tried the usual suggested stuff like Make sure you have drivers updated, Make sure there's no overheating, Don't be running too many programs etc etc but i have yet to figure it out.

If you're using an AMD card, follow this advice. I've had the same problem.

Me too, been using the old driver for a good while now. I just keep waiting and waiting for a new driver update where it'd finally read this issue with OW is fixed, maybe next year...

So tired of people joining No Limits and then playing 2-2-2 or stacking tanks and shit. If I wanted to play that I'd just play ranked or QP. It's the same as in HS and people take the OP standard decks to Wild. Bo-ring.

I fucking love that rofl. People have dubbed it the "anime run". I'm still laughing my ass off when I see another Moira.

In case you don't have AMD drivers, I started getting that issues after the patch before last due to Overclocking. I had to reset my GPU to default settings and not overclock and the problem went away. I was also getting an issue where it stopped rendering the game world apart from outlines.

Fuck no is this match making "decent." Its easily one of the most incompetent and
poorly designed MMs I've ever had the misfortune of experiencing.

Been on a losing streak since 2100 and lost *consistently* each game all day. Literally
drop 1200+ points.

For the second time since I've been playing, I've been knocked down to Silver. Like
holy fuck, I've said it once and knowing how fucking awful this MM is, I'll probably
say it again : My bad luck is unparalleled in this game.

[DeadmanWalking]

I had a game where a genji and a winston spent the entire game calling each other homos and that the other should suck one and how they sucked at playing, delete the game, blah blah blah. Started when one guy felt that since we didnt smash right through the defences that we were all awful... We won in the end but god these two wouldn't shut up.

[Gandrake]

just one of those days in comp where you have 3 or 4 dps on your team and you don't even notice one of them

[Eapoe]

Took a 3 week break from comp. Started again yesterday at a slow pace (3wins 1loss), and slightly back to enjoying it again. The 4 I have played have been toxicity/troll free (I know they're waiting to hit), but so far been having fun. I had 1 game where my team got upset about the 2 support running Zen/Moira instead of having Mercy. They talked about it so much our Zen swapped off to a 2nd tank (yeah, our comp was 1-3-2 and we became 2-3-1) and I stayed on Moira. All I can say, god DAMN is she fun. By the end of the 3rd round I had pulled only 1k less than the other teams solo healing Mercy (solo'd for 3 rounds), and she is strong without being OP. I even got gold objective kills simply because I was tagging people with her orb when I didn't need to use the healing version, as well as draining the enemy health for resource. People stopped complaining about the support picks by the middle of the 2nd round when they realized they werent dead (unless they got caught in a bad position), and we ended up winning.
Other than that, at least I don't have any complaints from the last 2 days as even the team that complained weren't being toxic, they just were very vocal about wanting a different support.

I have no idea how you guys have such crappy games. I mean, mine aren't phenomenal by any means but since I don't join team chat I don't see/hear any toxicity. People aren't great, but at least they're trying. Some of you guys probably should take some time off for a bit.

Playing with a friend for the free weekend and we run into this guy: https://masteroverwatch.com/profile/...B8%D1%8F-21222

Guy was wrecking us all over the place with soldier. It's an obvious smurf so why are we facing them when my friend is completely new to the game?

lol!! that is my account i made to play with friends!!

Thank you for sharing this with us, I seriously laughed hard about this in real life. This for sure will be a good night of sleep!

Some of us are just really that unlucky.

I mean I lost so many games in a row that I dropped to Silver 1800s. From 2100 to fucking SILVER. In
one day.

[Jessicka]

Not played for a week, first few games went okay climb a bit to 2380 new season high. Then it all goes to shit as you might expect, 2 stack just starts kicking off because 'three widow mains', even though none of us even picked Widow, and next few matches Moiras that never use a single yellow orb. The balance of the next few games was pretty atrocious as well, just absolute stomps in either direction. Finished up on 2330 again. Maybe I can get a little luck in the week.

I don't think I like Moira as a hero, she's not bad, but she just encourages the kind of degeneracy that made everyone hate Ana when she released - no one fucking heals with her. Or rather, if they do, they're on Red Team.

It is the concept of the bad driver. I drive to work an hour every day due to a long commute. I pass hundreds of other drivers every day and for the most part they are all good normal drivers, but then a bad one crosses my path and when I get home or to work the first thing I do is complain about how 'everyone drives crazy, everyone is horrible at driving, you wouldn't believe what happened today!!!". It was one driver out of hundreds, but that is the one driver who sticks in my memory. They cut me off, they wronged me. Are all drivers this bad? In my imagination yes.
