When I play Winston, nobody gives me any friendship points at the end of the match, no matter how I played or what awards I'm up there for. I'm starting to think I'm playing him wrong or something. I just got a PotG for a quadra kill, had most eliminations, most damage and the enemy Widowmaker cussed Winston out in chat all in a single game and yet still no respect from random video game players.

The best part of playing with pubs is seeing how many medals you can get because they're terrible. 4 golds with Reinhardt? Hell yes. 3 golds and 2 silvers with 76? You fuckin bet! Lose both those games? Don't mind if I do!

D.Va is amazing. Sure her guns don't pack as much punch as I'd like, but the APM and the fact you get a second life with an even better gun more than make up for it. Especially the APM. Gotta love teaming up with a Reinhardt and using the APM to keep him alive to recharge when his shield drops. Or soloing a deployed Bastion that was locking down a chokepoint just by standing in front of him with the APM on until he reloads and then just unloading into him in both forms. Or outright negating a Junkrat, Roadhog or Pharah ult And people are saying she needs a buff? Yes please

I still have no idea what role I want to play. I enjoy assault a ton but I love playing Zarya, it's too bad it's either her or Reinhardt when I want to play tank though. I don't really enjoy Reinhardt because he requires really really good positioning and the camera doesn't go out far enough to see where my team is when I shield so I end up trudging to point with no one to back me up because I assume they're still there.Icedude posted:D.Va is amazing.

So I wasn't in the closed beta; I understand that Blizzard is saying that the new ranked will be nothing like the old one but for people that played it how did it handle solo/dynamic queueing?

It didn't, everyone was in the same pool. Presumably it at least made a cursory effort to match stacks but everyone I talked with said the game was a lot easier with a premade than as solo/duo, which implies they weren't matched against other premades terribly often.

That's dynamic queue then, alright. I assume they're working on the matchmaking code behind the scenes then. It's too bad companies can't really share this poo poo with each other because in the 3~ years I played DOTA 2 I found its matchmaking system pretty drat good and I only got put in with stacks like 10-20 times over 200 games so they should just steal that. Then again I seem to usually be unreasonably lucky in these matters (I've literally never met a double sniper team yet, or a lot of the other common matchmaking complaints) so I could just be biased.

I hadn't found a demo of the volskaya jump with Junkrat yet so here's the trick for all of you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VtS9G-_3VE This route is also doable much more easily with Winston, DVA, Genji, Reaper, Widowmaker, Tracer, Lucio, and Pharah but someone put up a video for those chars already during early beta.

I have a confession and an associated apology. I really like playing Tracer. It clicks really well for me and its so much goddamn fun but, god, I feel guilty doing it in a 6-stack. Sadly I'm only okay at most other characters. I've been playing with goons on PS4 lately (PSN DaftDeft, add me!) and I'm sorry I switch to Tracer and play that the rest of the match sometimes. I try to help out with teamplay picks, I do, but if the other side has a good Tracer I really want to do Tracer/Tracer duels. They are so fun, but yes, I realize its basically making it a 5v5. Sorry!

Roadhog is my favorite character but I have never gotten a POTG with him. Even after tons of sick triples and quads. Also his hook hitbox is insanely generous.

It's always embarrassing for a new, inexperienced reaper to get sniped in the head after a poorly-placed teleport. But it teaches them a valuable lesson on how not to play that class. It's also very fun to do this.

Hanzo can get free oneshots every 11 seconds, sparing him from D.Va tier. For now.
