Is there actually a good argument for not having a scoreboard? Everyone just says "oh well people will just use it to flame whoever is under performing" but that's the point.

Not having a scoreboard is fine, but I would really like ping to be displayed somewhere. I've only had a couple issues with lag but it's handy to be able to check.

Actually do, just don't use actual numbers from the game and show a different one to each player where they're somehow always last or next to last anyway.

If you're the kind of person who doesn't want a scoreboard because you don't want people telling you to switch classes when you're doing lovely, you're the exact reason we need a scoreboard. Accountability is important.

Doesn't think, just types.
I've started seeing more and more McCrees in quickmatch and I have no idea what to do.

Roadhog? Nope, if I hook him he stuns and escapes or just kills me. Tracer? Nope, shut down. Reaper? Nope, even from behind I can't kill him before he turns around.

The only way out I see is Widowmaker, but even then I can only shut him down if he's out in the open like a drooling idiot.

So it turns out you can reflect Junkrat's concussion mine while it's in mid air, turning it against him or his teammates, so Junkrat can technically teamkill his teammates with it.

Try heroes that operate outside of his flashbang range. Pharah, Soldier, Junkrat, and Roadhog are good against him. If he's stunning you after you hook him in with Roadhog, that means you are missing with your left click or firing too late.

As someone who often brings Genji out to play, watching (bad) McRee fan themselves is awesome, but ALL McCree can become bad with enough pressure and juking. If you can juke the flash bang a lot of them auto-mash fan and then you just murder them by aiming correctly. Jump into shift strike is usually enough to get outta bang range

And this post is exactly why we don't need one.

I don't care about me (though I definitely do suck) but the game has significantly fewer (vocally) lovely people and way more people enjoying themselves and I think the lack of scoreboard is part of that.

e: I imagine competitive mode will have a scoreboard. You can go play in that ballpit when it comes out if you're that desperate.

No, he can flashbang you instantly, before you get a shot off.

It generally is if the hook doesn't wig the gently caress out and put McCree behind you or way to your left or in an alcove ten feet above you or anywhere else but right in front of you, yeah.

What's with all the Symmetras today? All the way up until today I almost never saw her and now she is in all of my games and people are fighting over her and we even did a 4 symmetra team but the other 2 people were big baby's and we got hard countered by a lone winston anyway. Point being what gives? I mean I think she's good so I'm not mad about it, just confused about the reversal.

Unrelated, I wish blizz would let me cancel roadhogs ult.

I just assume everytime I start seeing a bunch of a hero no one really plays its because a streamer did well with them.

No, he can't. If he can, you're pulling him from too far away. The hook has a fixed stun time and at maximum range it will cease to stun just before they reach you, meaning that's the only scenario he can reliably flashbang you.

If this is happening consistently you're pulling from too far away and need to get closer.

I can't wait to get this game and never play support or tank until someone says we need support/ tank and show these nubs wtf that means to play that role.

My fav pub class in tf2 was medic.. my fav mobas people are beefy tanks that can do a thing maybe do a kill.

This game has all of that and no one seems to realize that their is no gold or items of anything. If you need to pistol a cat a mercy loving do it. If you need to wipe teams endlessly as the tank do it. It's about the win not some dumbass meta in the sense that a support is allowed to go offensive!

This games easy enough that if you're not making GBS threads out medals you're probably playing the wrong class for the current match.
