I wish there was a way to queue up for certain maps in quick play. I just wanna practice sniping on a couple payload maps but I keep getting koth

i turned down my mouse sensitivity by 10 and my accuracy went up like 20% on soldier 76 dang

Nice. A good way to measure your sens is by how many inches or cm it takes to do a 360 degree turn. Anything less than 10 inches and you might have a hard time tracking targets

i feel like zenyatta gets much much better when your team realizes the big golden glowing floaty poo poo is a green light to do what would otherwise be some very dumb stuff
I did a ton of 5 or 6 player premades with friends last night and we were actively doing call-outs on voicechat. Pushing with trance owned hard under those circumstances. I would push with trance, then our Lucio would drop his shield when it faded, and if we didn't have them already mopped up at that point then we were pretty drat close.

most times when you use his ult around randos though its like "oh, poo poo! zenyatta's doing something! ...lets stand back and see where he goes with this"
I laughed and I cried because it's too true.

I landed a Zarya ult on an entire team last night, then Hanzo ulted and finished them all off. POTG went to the torbjorn hammering on a turret in the corner since the turret got the first 3 actual killshots.

I drove my rip tire into the point and killed 4 people.

POTG is Genji ulting first and ran in and hit all of them down during that same moment.

Played last night a couple hours. Got PTOG as D.VA on my first twomatches (!), forgot to shadowplay them before quittine the game. :negative:
I also managed to bump two people off the side of Lijiang.

Then I proceeded to suck rear end all night. It's kinda weird how my game went to poo poo since the beta; I never considered myself to be good at the game but holy hell I was being useless for most of my games.

I guess I should just keep playing. :getin:

PS: I hate all of you who got legendary skins, I got sprites. ALL OF THE SPRITES.

I am in the same boat. Really off and on with the skill levels throughout the night. I guess I need to learn how to play Reaper to enjoy that Nevermore skin.

Playing with night owl goons last night was fun. Let's do it again tonight!

Things learned:

-Junkrat's tire is really useful for clearing points on maps where the point is in a room and the enemy can't possibly see it coming.

-Winston is really useful in creating chaos and giving your team an edge.

-McCree is only good at 1v1, and even then he's isn't that easy to use.

Just had 9 sentry turret kills with Symmetra. Her beam gun also does more damage the more time it's connected. She's pretty fun.

At max it's 120 dps! It also carries charge between multiple targets. Most people don't expect it.

I bought a 10pack, 2 non goon friends got 50 packs. I got a single gold drop and a couple purple skins and an orange. They got 1300 and 2000 gold respectively and tons of goodies. They said they were both happy with their purchases and wouldn't have to buy more boxes again for at least a very long time.

I bought 100. :shepspends:

I did it after the game went live, I imagine since many other people were looting boxes whatever RNG for legendary skins pumped out quite a bit. I think I ended with 3000+ credits and 9 gold skins.

The cries of the dead are terrible indeed; you should try not to hear them.
I'm salty that I haven't gotten a single Epic commendation, while in the Open Beta I got them all the time. Feels like I'm grouped with people stacked together or something all the time because they vote the randomest things. I've gone 90% on fire in a 20 minute game, 50 kills, 30 kill streak no deaths, 12k healing, 60% kill participation, 5 gold medals, the whole shebang and still not gotten more than 3 votes for any single time.

On the one hand, it's extremely pathetic to care about something like that. On the other, THIS IS BULLSHIT. MASSAGE MY EGO.

drat, that's a lot more than I've been using (and I definitely suck at tracking). I'm used to playing with a pretty high sensitivity on other games and am having trouble adjusting to lower settings. Do you have any tips for getting used to that low of a sensitivity? It feels like that'd take up the entire mouse pad practically. Do you use your shoulder more, or is it still mostly wrist movement?

FPSs are hard.

yeah but that then creates a situation where you need to have a mccree in every team or the enemy team will pick tracer and clown on your backline. mccree has no real counterpicks either so there's nothing stopping you from stacking 2 mccrees on every team, which is what happens in pro games

Move your shoulder more, align the crosshairs by moving your character rather than moving your mouse.
