I then decided to go Torb just to mess with him. It worked

Nice one Kitten

Honestly people deserve that treatment if they're going to be rude and aggressive, which is only getting more common in Overwatch these days.

Part of me wishes Overwatch wasn't as successful as it is - niche gamer audiences are typically much nicer people to play with in my experience.

G.A

The new map looks so pretty. I love the idea of replacing the mechanical elevators on Hollywood with jump pads.

Yeah. Play nice, play Pharah.

I feel like this might be a prelude (sort of a test run) of the Bounce feature in advance of a new Support hero with Vauban-esque maneuvering abilities, such as putting down jump-pads or speed boosts.

Exciting idea! Giving access to verticality would definitely add to the game.

Neet. 3 losses 2 draws and 5 wins got me back into 3k.

hows everyone else placements going, if you are ranking.

Not well. I had a falling-out with the person I usually queue with in comp, and now literally nobody communicates instead of all but 2 people communicating.

Bummer

Though looking on the bliz forums people are blowing up because the MMR wasnt a full reset. not even a soft reset. so unless you are on the extreme sides of skill your skill rating basically wont change.

I'm waiting a few days before starting comp so all the good players will get their placement matches so I don't get curbstomped every game.

Sort of looking forward to Lucioing my way through placement again, maybe play some Ana when I remember what playing an FPS is like. If I'm extra lucky, maybe I'll get to play junk rat on the internal Li Xiang tower map

Being a Support/Tank main in comp is unbelievably stressful sometimes. As Mercy you realize that most of the people you're fighting are good enough to easily pick you off.

Any tips on how to get McCree's ulti to work without wanting to rip your own eyes out in frustration? You're so damned exposed when using it that it's pretty hard to get it to do anything, and there's no refund if you decide not to shoot.

Be willing to use it when there's only one or two people with skulls.

The speed of 'targetting' scales with target health- so Tanks take longer to 'lock on'.

Even if you don't have the skulls, it still does significant damage if you pop it- the damage ramps up steadily over time and the skulls are just an indicator of when the damage is enough to one-shot.

Pop the ulti behind cover, then peek/walk out- this gives people less time to react (maybe).

Teamates. Tanks (if they're paying attention) will guard you- D.VA, Zarya, Reinhardt especially.

Don't be too upset if you don't get kills from it- it's a little like D.VA's Ult in that even if it doesn't kill, it still makes the enemy scatter, re-orient, or otherwise get disrupted to deal with it.

Yeah, don't be overly greedy with your Q. Otherwise it requires being a bit sneaky, a bit hard since your boots are so laud.

Or you can use it to pick off supports/unaware snipers from across the map.

As a Support main I can confirm that it's great for picking us off. Assuming the Supports Tanks aren't paying attention and protecting the Supports

D.VA, D.VA everywhere!

- Nerf this!
- NOOOOO, NOT LIKE THIS!

So the holiday update dropped.

SANTA TORB!

Also, love the new Widowmaker highlight intro

Still no PC - I have to just let all these special skins and events fly past the window in sorrow...

I guess I shouldn't mention Elf Tracer, Santa Torb, Yeti Winston, or the new Widowmaker highlight mistletoe highlight intro?

Too soon?

There, there General, I'm sure you didn't want that new D.va victory pose anyway

Why are you doing this to me Kitten

I just spent the whole afternoon dealing with unappreciative, toxic, team mates in my placement matches. I'm in a spiteful mood

So take it out on your motivational coach/cheerleader?

You're also my therapist

Honestly the snowball fight brawl isn't that much fun once the novelty wears off. A lot of it depends on sniping unaware poeple when they reload and hitting random cross-map shots in the first few seconds on the round, neither of which are very interesting.

I think you'll have to start paying me after that
