So how are your games going lately? [megathread]

[Twen]

I'm sure that paragraph made me sound toxic. I am indeed becoming toxic. Honestly, these days I mostly play arcade to get my weekly chests of 35 credits each and then fuck around in quick play where I don't care if people run 6 dps and I play whatever I want.

Nah that's just normal frustration really. I think much worse about my team sometimes but I don't make it known to them, that's the difference between natural emotions and toxic people.

Any other good hero shooters out? I can't do it anymore. The stupidity is mind numbing now. two wins since placement matches but can hold on my own pretty well when im playing with gold and platinum players. Thank you power for going out mid match causing me to be ranked lower than i shouldve and being in the shit storm that is silver....I've won now twice since placement matches have finished....i dont mind losing....its just i cant stand losing the way i have because of morons.

Paladins is the only comparable, current game. Unfortunately it's not remotely the level of quality in character or map design, but mostly just the physical feel of the game is weightless and not great. You'll feel like playing air, shooting air, etc. It's a very jarring and noticeable difference from any shooter, not just OW. Battlefield/COD and Overwatch all are light years ahead of the physics and sound/animation triggers in that game.

You might have fun for a little while, but it gets old very fast. Also, people are the same level of stupid in all team based games now for the most part. Just less overall people playing the other games.

[Rotted]

So I sat down and di the new placement games on my new 2nd account.

2100 ish placement on my main account,

Nearly 2800 on this new account.

Won 8, lost 1, draw 1 on my main.

Won 6, lost 4 on the new account.

I wonder if the PotG algorithm is wearing anything by Ashe extra heavy because she's new. Just saw a Play where it is Ashe throwing dynamite, slowly aiming and exploding it, and repeating that two more times. She didn't hit anyone much less kill them, and she didn't shoot the dynamite mid air or quickly or anything like that. It was near the objective though.

Weirdest Play.

[baskev]

just try to play some games after some time away...holy crap. players have become even bigger idiots. And saying ANY ingame will get you troll picks, throws and you are toxic, you are salty get a live comments.

lost most of the matches to overwatch 101 stupidity's its pretty much all bronze players now.

[Jessicka]

Everyone is fed up of Rein-Zarya. They want them on their team, just so long as someone else is playing them. I actually had for the first time in a very long time, 4, 5, even a 6 DPS team (no fucking point even trying to Tank or heal in that clusterfuck) matches, yes plural, in comp today.

It’s just a total mess right now this game. Nobody gives a shit anymore, and it’s contagious.

[mrgrtt123]

Two years ago, I feel like this is one of my favorite games but as time goes by I got tired of playing it there are new games that I fell in love with and I forgot about Overwatch.

[Katie N]

They really should offer refunds to people who can't play the game anymore. Every game there is either a leaver, a thrower or smurfs.

[Wikko]

There's just really no reason to play this game. It doesnt matter at all how you personally play, the match outcome is decided before it even begins. 99% of the matches are fucking stomp one way or another, then you just keep getting losses in rows. Then after sometime it turns around and you get win streaks. The matchmaking in this game is absolutely made so one teams wins no matter what half the players in that team does

I've climbed about 500 SR this season, with about 68% winrate, and I still get games in a row that are absolutely stomps when our team does nothing, because it's full of people with about 30% winrates.

[Sfidt]

Not going at all because I have to sit in a queue behind 20 000 people 0.o

I bought the game at a discount after a free weekend (I've played beta and liked it but not enough to pay full price) and been quite enjoying it playing casually every night or so. Didn't know that a multi billion dollar company can't get servers to hold enough players on a tuesday evening. What a disappointment

[rarhyx]

^it's every tuesday evening when a new event launches. today was such day.
every other day is 95% without trouble


on a side note: man I'm glad I stopped playing comp and stick to arcade and qp
less toxic behaviour, crying and stress
people actually care to win even if they try out new heroes they usually don't play
no gold weapons for me anymore but I'm honest: a golden weapon is just not worth the trouble

Queue happens everytime a seasonal event launches as loads of people all try to get in at once, outside of that it's not a thing.

[Eapoe]

I haven’t played since roughly the beginning of November and enjoying my time away, but I might come back for the seasonal event. I’d just quit after that so seems pointless. The new skins are nice.

[Jessicka]

Not a great night. Started okay, then of course on came the smurfs. Then, playing Widow, other DPS is Hanzo; other team also Widow and Hanzo. Of course the two stack I'm with, instead of letting us get on with it just bitch and moan the entire match meanwhile the other team are just getting on with it. Of course they report me because I just lose all interest from the whining.

[Thelxi]

Someone pointed out to me that my Mercy isn't as good as I thought and showed me the crouch trick, and damn she is like a whole new hero to me now; so much fun. I've been supporting a lot lately without really climbing, but I haven't dropped either. Generally good games with nice people.

[Projectmars]

A lot more people seem to be willing to go tank or healer in QP now than they had been, with a lot of my matches being 2-2-2 comps lately.

[Dejiko]

Is Mercy`s rez ability bugged or something?
Noticed recently that i use it, the animation and sound goes off and finishes, spell goes on cooldown
but if i die afterwards it doesn`t bring the player back.

it has a short cast time and if you die during it the Rez is still on Cooldown but the targeted player remains dead.

[Dejiko]

Something is definitely off with it, feels like either the sound/spell animation doesn`t match the time it takes to cast, or there`s
a small window of time after the animation where the player receives the rez.
Visually it doesn`t synch up.
