They still need to fix POTG...


Literally saved the last tick from being captured in Volk with Moira against a Dva and Soldier....

Enemy soldier gets it for brainless ult at point B.

well if it wasnt for that ult the game probably would of ended earlier

POTGs arent that big of a deal anyways. same with medals

They need to either get rid of medals or make it to where you can see everyones medals on your team.

no more asking widow to switch when shes 14-1 while junkrat is 3-7

Maybe I'm a casual for this...but I LOVE playing deathmatch in arcade mode. So much more fun (and less stressful) than ranked.

Yeah I always have this discussion. Medals are basically the double slit experiment of OW. They both matter and don't matter at any given time. If we win, because I'm Gold dmg, kills, objective, etc, as Soldier, then the medals would indicate that I did my job correctly. If we lose and I have those very same medals, then I still did my job correctly....the caveat? One man can't carry a team, not even Seagull or Kephrii.

I'm an above average Moira and Winston, I always perform very well, to the surprise of people who see my rank (I don't Comp much due to personal issues). However, when I'm sitting on Gold elims as Moira, that's a problem. If I'm sitting on Gold damage as Winston, that's a problem. Medals are indicators, more so than dikk measuring contests. One should change, switch, focus, etc based on said medals.

A Moira with no gold healing as the only healer on the team, should adapt appropriately and heal more. A tank with no objective time(s), should adapt and stop thinking they're dps. Medals only matter, if you know how to adhere to them.

It's actually easy to get gold elms with Moira. She gets an elim from pretty much standing there

I usually binge arcade on mondays after it resets, lots of fun.

Personal issues?

 

[Killigraphy]

Personal issues?

I don't play the game that much anymore, been busy, I check in from time to time, so that I don't get rusty, but anytime I tell my team to implore tactic (without being toxic) I'm met with responses like; "Its just a game" or my favorite "You're x rank, relax"....same scapegoating.

As does Winston one touch = kill participation, however, even with an average dps, he should be dwarfed easily. Especially when most comps consist of 3 or more dps. My point being, medals are more like indicators, its just that many players use them incorrectly.

You either missed my point or are somehow cherry picking the wrong thing.

This is the first online multiplayer game I've played where people don't care about winning. shyt is weird as fukk. Every game I've played whether it's Unreal Tournament, Call of Duty, Battlefield, Gears of War, hell even Splatoon, people wanted to win the game. Here, in Overwatch, people don't care. Either they're retarded and just really bad players or....I don't know. The game is not rocket science. When half your team dies you're suppose to go back to spawn and group up. Don't throw yourself into enemy territory thinking you're gonna cap the point by yourself. Nobody groups up. They keep trickling in like retards.

Also the terminology that people use is weird. Like 'DPS'. I know it stands for damage per second but it's an odd way to describe an offensive hero. That's like calling a car 'MPH'. A hero could be high dps, low dps, but simply calling it 'DPS' is weird. "I'm going to buy a MPH car". Also calling Winston 'monkey'. "Monkey behind us". Why can't you just say, "Winstons behind us", "There's a Winston by the point" ? There's also 'c9'. I know this refers to some competitive team backcaping to win the game.

what you play on? and what’s your rank?

i play on Xbox and i’m 2300, was play but been dropping solo queuing is aids, rarely good , although i got into plat soloing and finding friends i’ve been playing with all week

you gotta team up with people with mics that you meet in games that communicate. that’s what i do. if i solo and run into a group of 3 and we win i’ll ask to group up.

no more asking widow to switch when shes 14-1 while junkrat is 3-7

strongly disagree with this, unless Widow is picking off healers and DPS and most your team is alive to make that push, KD ratio does not matter.

a junk going 3-7 but helping put out significant damage in the process and with more objective time and playing the objective is more useful than a widow on attack 14-1 with no objective time, who gets a pick that doesn’t result in helping to secure to secure A or B or push the payload.

say your team has a widow, she gets a pick or two opening up to push the objective but your team also loses two players.. both teams lose a healer. but you’ve already broken some of their defense so push..

now it’s 4 v 4, they got mercy down as well as as dps, but amoira up with 2 tanks and a soldier.

your team has widowup, dva, zarya and lucio.

wouldnt you rather have a junk alive who will push the objective over that widow who is just sitting back getting a pick here and there, if lucky. but her character isn’t aggressive enough to push with alive team mates during a good opening to secure the point? junk is going to be much more useful even if he’s 3-7 but pops his ult and takes out 2 to help secure the point over the widow with zero objective but meaningless picks that don’t transfer into nothing

with that comp i just presented, your team comp with the widow will prob get wiped.

I'm still asking the Junkrat to switch because if he's 3-7 chances are he's not doing any damage anyways OR he's spamming into shields.

I agree with the idea that Widow can't help with a staggered push as much as Junk but if he doesn't switch because he could be good in that 1 situation while he sucks throughout the duration of the game, he's still the bigger issue because he's not helping us create a winnable situation in the first place.
