>New map and new hero coming soon, new short out now >A whole bunch of Blizzard-themed skins are getting added into the base game (Nova Widowmaker, Protoss Orisa, stuff like that, ETA 2018)
I don't know, the easy fix would be to just make wins and losses have a set amount of sr gain and loss, so I don't know why they keep seeming to insist that a "skill" based sr system is needed.

How do I get good at pharah? I enjoy playing her a lot, but once someone good switches to a McCree, Widow, or Soldier 76, I seem to not be able to survive in the air.
James Jackson
They should've just restricted it to teammates.
Jeremiah Sullivan
if they remove the ledge boost from her shift I'm done
Blake Peterson
you don't, blizzard's shit put in a hard counter system

Reminder it's not bannable to onetrick meta characters, but if you as much pick a non-meta one, you get the dong.

What the fuck? Why "refusing to cooperate" is even an argument? I payed $ for this game, I pick whatever the fuck I want, if some salty mongol on my team wants me to switch to mercy thats his fucking problem, he should do it himself. I am honestly mad mostly because cucked blizz fanboys will do fuck nothing and Caplan will continue doing stupid shit and banning people for no reason.

Brayden Russell
rip in pieces user rein's charge is easily avoidable but you couldn't
Lucas Williams
The only reason he was banned for 1-tricking and refusing to switch is bad publicity - at his rank, he plays with a lot of streamers who hate him and his Torb schtick. Streamers complaining = bad press, this is and will always be about revenue before anything else.
Where's my fat tiddy hero so I can get banned for one tricking her?

One trick ponies trick the matchmaking and ruin this game. One tricking should be bannable, ranked is only about winning. If you only want to play one hero you can go play it in quickplay and arcade, or find a team of 6 who is fine with it.
With ban I mean rank ban, not account ban.
Leo Rodriguez
>one step closer to banning people for attack Sombra and such until you realise Blizz thinks she is an offensive DPS instead of the defensive DPS/secondary support she actually is. Same way they think they were buffing Bastion post rework and nerfing Mercy post rework

Thank you very much. Have this torb pic

What the fuck is wrong with you? Are you clinically retarded? ANYONE SHOULD BE FREE TO PLAY WHATEVER FUCKING HERO HE WANTS. If some autist has 2k hours on genji/tjorb/widow/tracer/etc because he wants to play him and only him, thats his fucking choice, nobody is allowed to force him to switch.

whoevers in charge of the ptr currently cant even fix her actual bugs like her ult not healing a dva mech after she uses bomb, her m2 locking onto weird things, her orb bugging into the world when it gets reflected or matrixed, etc etc i doubt theyre even capable of doing that if they wanted to

Grayson Howard
>ANYONE SHOULD BE FREE TO PLAY WHATEVER FUCKING HERO HE WANTS Yeah, in quick play. Competitive is a game mode about winning. It's about teamwork. If you ruin your teammates matches every game then you deserve to be banned.

diamond is such fucking hell full of people that are probably playing their first FPS game or something
in CSGO i constantly drop 30 bombs in GE and in QC i have over 30% winrate in dm (pretty good considering it's 8 players) but in this game i can't climb out of this shit rank. the weirdest thing is i used to be GM 2 seasons ago but now i just can't make it out of diamond

Okay, real talk? I do not like one tricks because for me, and I assume many others, they are not in the competitive spirit of the game. Overwatch is a team sport, where you have to work together to enjoy the game. Ideally, all 6 players would be equally competent across a broad range of heroes. This would mean that you could get exciting match ups with fluid hero changes, counter picks, and great plays. What one tricks do, is they force the comp around them. Players like Fuey tend to have positive win rates. In fact, nearly every high ranking one trick I have seen ever has had a positive win rate with their hero. The reason why, is that the majority of the time their hero is actually a reasonable pick. Defense 2CP, Hybrid, Payload all work exceptionally well for Torbjorn (and sym etc). As OP pointed out, they gain a disproportionately high amount of SR due to the lack of play that hero sees at higher SR due to its situation nature. As such they climb fast. Where one tricking becomes an issue are: 1. When they are hard countered - normally problematic for Pharah's with double hitscan d'va zen etc. 2. When the map causes them to be hard countered eg. Fuey on KoTH or 2CP attack or 3. When there are two of the same one trick causing one to play a garbage something else (a big problem with most mercy one tricks). One tricks I don't have as big of a problem with are ones like Wraxu. Why? Because his one trick is a monster on most maps, and if he is not doing work he switches. He can pull out a high tier roadhog, and other heroes to make it work. One tricks should learn from this.
Jordan Rivera
thats strange considering players got much worse at lower ranks

>Playing offmeta hero >When Soldier and Tracer are both easier, more reliable, have better ults and more getaway cards (with Tracer literally having 2 uncounterable movement abilities)

Who said anything about throwing? The guy that got banned had a 57% win rate.
Noah Hernandez
>Competitive is a game mode about winning. >SIX RANDOM PEOPLE >WHO NEVER MET >TEAMWORK
Stop being delusional, if you want teamwork find 5 friends and play together with them. OH WAIT, LET ME GUESS, It's impossible to find 5 people in the world who can tolerate your pretentiousness

Why not? It is fun to see people suffer. Explain most games: They are centred around the frustration of the losing team. Every spectator sport is joy about the misfortune of others. Why should it be different in porn? I'm not even a psycho or sadist.
Gabriel Morgan
Is reinhardt a bad pick? I feel like my shield melts too fast. I also discovered that many heroes walk backwards faster than Reinhardt moves forward. So people back pedal my hammer all the time. Am I missing something?
Also, what's the point of firestrike and when to use it?
Alexander Ramirez
@195295014 >Quotes something I didn't say >Implying that you throw a match when you are literally at the same skill level as everyone else, if not higher because your hero gets hardcountered in more situation unless you are a Mercy main Moron

Wrong wrong wrong. A lot of Torbs got banned today by the report system. The streamer is just icing on the cake on how broken the system is. Smaller filesize
Benjamin Green
*runs head first at you* *spams projectiles that basically cover your entire field of view* *spams double jumps which makes him impossible to hit* *uses his skill that blocks virtually every attack in the game on an 8 second cooldown if you even think about trying to fight him back* *uses his gigantic gap closer to get in melee range of you and chop you into sushi* *all of this without even using his ult that deals 120 damage per swing for some fucking reason*
heh... should've known what to expect when you decided to go up against the highest skillcap hero in the game, kid...
Matthew Ward

Adrian Cruz
kind of power creep hasnt been good to rein but he can still work if your teams willing to play VERY aggressively but playing passive on high ground and shield poking isnt a thing that works with him anymore
Carson Butler
Literally wrong. Plus the fact S76 and Tracer are infinitely easier to use at lower ranks

Has damage really increased that much since the beginning of the game? Besides Soldier I can't remember that many direct damage buffs.
Hunter Foster
One-trick autists don't even have to worry. I guarantee Jeff will release a statement about how "overwatch is a game for everyone" and therefore they will not ban anyone who is a one-trick. Blizzard doesn't like controversy and has been known to revert things because of backlash.
