Why my bullets no hit?

So what's the penalty for leaving repeatedly?

Look, I'm sorry, but I put my fun before going through a lovely time with randoms.

There's supposedly MMR or something, so maybe you'll get dropped into games of leavers or something.

Well, naturally those who didn't take part in the open beta are people who either haven't paid much attention to the game (and so know little about the characters and how to play) or who don't play many games overall.

This is the downside to blizz games being so popular. It'll pass in a week or two though just like beta.


Yeah every other match is either complete newbs or extremely good. Its jarring.

I feel like if they disabled Reaper for like two weeks things'll look up on that front. You can usually tell who's going to win a match by seeing which team has fewer Reapers on it- Ever since I noticed it and started keeping track, some 80% of the matches that have had at least one Reaper has been won by the team with the Reaper deficit. Most people are just terrible with him, especially if an enemy Bastion is in the equation. And they never, ever switch. Ever.

Probably dumb question, is all the jerky character animations and people blipping around a result of my own connection sucking, Blizzard's servers being overwhelmed, or both? I don't remember it being this bad when I was playing Vermintide and given that this is a fast-paced shooter I'd like to be able to hit what I'm aiming at rather than watching someone teleport five feet to the left every time I pull the trigger.

Also I suck at Bastion for such a supposedly OP character, I'm not bad with Torbjorn though.

That's on you. Either your internet or your video card / graphics configuration, but the game looks smooth as butter on my end so I don't think its blizz.

The Demogorgon is tired of your silly human bickering!

Ended up going mercy, Lucio or symmetra most of the time, but had a fun night with pubbies. Got my first play of the game as Pharah, killed a mercy wandering around the defense point, turned back to the objective and saw a reaper and roadhog walking by not looking at me. Justice from two feet to your left! Got a hockey Lucio skin and sharkhog. Yay?

That's Tracer. Her gimmick is to simulate lag by blinking around and having her health mysteriously refill to where it was a few seconds ago. :v:

Lucio is definitely my main though, i can pull off 10,000 healing in a match sometimes, plus 35% team damage taken

I reckon if you're in double Widow bracket you can just go Zarya and carry your team by being at full energy the entire time.

***DEVASTATINGLY HANDSOME***
A sample of 2 games. One offense, one defense.

Offense ( Hanamura ) : Playing as reinhardt i learn my team is too stupid to stand behind the shield, too awful at sniping ( why do we have two widowmakers ) to hit a stationary bastion, And when me and my friend ( as lucio ) clear the point of the entire enemy team, our two snipers, dva, and reaper all hang out away from the point as we get picked off by the trickle in of everyone we just killed.

Defense ( Numbani ) : Playing as Torbjorn, my friend goes Bastion. I place my turret to guard the point and we move up towards the spawn exit. I cover Bastions flank, and we proceed to thrash the enemy team. The one or two that avoid us get picked off by my turret. I end the match with a victory and 28 eliminations as Torbjorn, with my turret maybe getting 3 of them. I was nominated at the end for ARMOR PACKS. I didn't even know that could happen.

I think it counts your self-heal jenkem huff as a heal. It heals a shitton fast and often.

D.Va play of the game: knocking 3 enemies off the cliff on Illios with my boost, and then spooking a Tracer so badly on the way out that she blinks off the edge to her death.

Yeah it does. You can generally chug it with most people shooting at you and still come out slightly ahead with health so you can hook, shoot punch all over again.

7 hours later I must sleep but drat it was fun, I didn't get the great loot drops some of you did but it'll come. Most of the night I played with a full 6 but it was a mix of beta vets and newbies so if felt like we bounced up and down the MMR levels a bit. Only DC'd once which was nice.
