Well not too bad then. I guess win/loss ratio doesn't really mean anything in this game anyway.

nobody yells much yet. everyone is terrible. I watched a Mercy jump off a cliff to her death. no one was shooting at her. No one was near her. Just death. why mercy. why

I did this on Junkrat who I guess is the guy I play now and I kind of wish I had a replay of it because I was doing some dumb jump thing out of the gate and it worked fine and i started shelling idiots and then just walked off the map backward onto the ice for no reason. There was even a handy hole in the ice for maximum Warner Bros.

I also still get really confused on the A point of Anubis and get lost

It said I got a 10 kill streak as him yesterday, but I can't figure out if that includes kills made by characters I was healing. I need a turbo button or something, 'cause you just need to constantly spam your sonic gun while juking around.

If Lucio gets popular enough maybe we'll get another Jet Set Radio game.

I still fall off cliffs like an idiot but the majority of that is because I keep expecting to be able to land on obvious chunks of rock which have invisible barriers around them.

Every time you use Reinhardt's charge to pin someone off a cliff you have to write "Allahu Ackbar" in chat.

Also I wish you could see how weapons change with the skins because some cool stuff like Reinhardt's Gurren Lagann skin changes the hammer to an axe:



and the gundam skins for Pharah put ammo counters on the rocket launcher.

If you aren't taking advantage of the goon discord you're a drat fool.

Losing with goons is more fun than winning with randos in quick play. At least goons play Overwatch and not the "instalock whatever regardless of whatever" game.

It's meant to encourage people to not immediately bail on their team if they lose the first point on a payload map. It's a good system, and is also extremely generous unless you're leaving, like, 4 or 5 games in a row.

Our 4 or 5 stack got dumped into a game with like 14 left to go in the beta, the very end of whatever payload map ends in the furnace area. We managed to hold that thing until double overtime and only lost because they had to go and do the reinhardt + reaper + mercy ult thing.

Reaper suiciding in so Mercy can fly in and rez him so he can ult is my new most annoying strat. I think it's probably not actually good and people probably aren't doing it on purpose but I keep seeing it and it works because people tend to reflexively reload after a kill.

Use him on defense, stick with your team, put bad orbs on bad guys and good orbs on good guys, left click on bad guys (aim for the head), try not to get sniped or split from your team. Use your ult as a response to enemy ults.

Especially when you get that goon who is respectful of fellow goons and blames the one or two pubs on your team for the loss.

You want to slam your balls at people, and jam high health enemies with your discord orb. Remember to pass the b-ball and heal your friends, and get good at dunking on fools with headshots.

When you ult, remember to yell BOOMSHAKALAKA real loud into your mic

teams so bad I got 25 kills gold medal with widowmaker

I hit like a shot out of every four

Playing Lúcio in a half-decent team is still super fun, I had a team go Mei/Reaper/Winston/Widowmaker/Roadhog/Lúcio and focus-fire the hell out of me in Lijang KOTH. Still ended up with gold objective kills, so get out of here.

Jumpjet, melta, jumpjet. Repeat for ten minutes or until victory is assured.
I wish there was a way to list your top 5 heroes in the hero select screen. Basically I want a simple way to inform people that I'm cool paying the support tax, but making me be the tank is a baaaaad idea.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

Play him where there isn't long lines of sight for snipers to exploit. I like him on Volksaya for this reason. Always orb every one. With your E you can out damage most people in the game yourself. Just borb their face. Corner shooting with the right click is mostly a gimmick.
There's no damage fall off but the travel time makes long range shooting typically a bad idea. Focus tanks trying to break through your lines while your team shoots the dangerous people. You always want to be behind your team, you want them to draw the fire.

This. It subtly influences your priority in who gets voting cards and POTG too, but nothing that *really* matters

Players with higher "on fire" meters have louder footsteps to enemies. That's the only gameplay effect of it I know of.
