Why is that stupid spray of a kid with a broken arm even in the game?

It's one of the kids from the original announcement trailer. Unless you mean why is it considered worthy of even being a spray, in which case I have a theory with no proof: they realized they could turn sprays into loot but didn't have time to actually make any, so they tasked an intern somewhere with turning as much concept art as possible into what is basically lovely clipart.

Put the steel trap in doorways so when people try to run you down they can't dodge the trap.
Also remember that your grenades will bounce off walls and such., so bank shots around corners.

With solo you're more likely to get a poo poo team so it balances out. Plus, solo/premades still get matched against each other sometimes so it's not as if you'll never see one.

I'm playing on the PS4 and primarily play Roadhog because he's a loving one man apocalypse but really because Take a Breather pretty much owns. And there's just something satisfying about snagging a Tracer or a Widow or (my favorite) a shithead Bastion in turret mode and obliterating them.

I usually just hit Quick Play so running around as the beefy guy with the 300 health heal has been pretty fun so far. And if I'm lucky enough to have a Lucio or Mercy hanging out with me? Let's goooooo

I've been in two discord groups where people type this at the end of a match and it's pretty lame. I guess some goons just want to play pubstomps all day against AFKers and literal babies. Usually it's the same people that drop the whole group from the match so we wouldn't have to play against people around our skill level. It's a shame, because most of the groups I've been in have been pretty chill and I have a really good time chatting while shooting Red Team.

Playing with goons I notice whenever we lose someone is going to explain what was wrong with our class composition. I rarely see that as the problem.

All skill levels being equal, the hero select screen is like 95% of this game. I'd rather someone point out that we made poor hero picks given the opposition after a match than literally say "man, you guys are bad at video games" and quit Discord in disgust.

I won't leave a game with party to requeue unless it is obvious we don't stand a chance against whatever 6 stack of college nerds just finished rolling us. Goons are getting better and better at the game, so this happens less and less, thankfully. I like close matches as well, but I'm not about to punch myself in the dick over and over just because me and 5 other complete strangers can't compete with some clan with a website.

Playing with a quasi-organized group, or even solo, there are a lot of nuances in positioning, focus-firing, extending, spamming, etc. that affect every fight. Not about shooting better so much as everything you can do and decision you make. I don't know the right answers, it just gets to me when people attribute everything wrong with a match to our class composition. :geno:

Damage boosted bastion behind a rein shield seems like a great idea but it never works well against another organized team. I've learned this much about team strategies.

Regalingualius posted:

I'd say, in no particular order:
  • Hollywood - You can either put up really aggressive sentries at the choke to quickly build Teleporter, or place them more conservatively on the side of the building where the offense can't effectively shoot until they're actually fighting on the point. Some decent Teleporter locations too.
  • Hanamura - GREAT tele locations, not as many good chokes but some decent sentry spots (left house, high on the point). Helps that enemy reinhardts love parking themselves under the main archway.
  • Numbani - You can completely shut out one of the right flanks of your choice. If the offense pushes up main though it can be rough because it's wide and there's a lot of room to dodge your orbs. Decent tele places.
  • King's Row - Lots of great sentry spots both on the point and in the side rooms. Biggest issues are few good/easily accessed teleporter spots and very close quarters so it's easy to get caught around a corner and find yourself immediately dead.

This all assumes first point defense because otherwise lol

2nd point on el dorado? Even without the symmetra exploit mentioned a few pages back, dorado's 2nd point is basically 2 chokes. You can totally roll symmetra until you lose the 2nd point. A teleporter anywhere on the church ramparts or the courtyard opposite is extremely useful.

Hollywood has 3 points as well but it's difficult to find a use for symmetra after you lose the 1st one.

The friend of all children!

Friday night definitely feels like the organized play night. It's like a solid wall of pain. I get into awkward situations because I can always find 4~6 friends but everyone is just there for a good time and we don't coordinate strategies or counter pick. Friday nights we get absolutely wrecked.

I can't understand how a serious business competitive team can come into quick play, completely dominate the opposing team, and feel satisfied. When my matches are lopsided they're boring as hell. I've yet to lose a match where my team was clearly completely out of its league where my opponents didn't meme it up and type smack constantly in chat.

Next Friday I'll get drunk instead.

Roller grenades still explode on contact, and if your concussion mine is off cooldown and you don't need it for frontline mobility/escape from a collapsed frontline then use it to gently caress with flankers and aggressive chargers (like Rein) in fights. Throw your trap in chokes which'll gently caress with flankers. Trap/conc is a great combo! If that's inconvenient you're probably playing too far forward respective to the rest of your team, or your team is playing too far forward in which case get ready to use your conc to escape the consequences of your fuckfail team. If you're not spamming LMB and bunnyhopping all the time you're playing the character wrong as all gently caress.

Its better to blow up your riptire a little too early getting only 1-2 kills than give the enemy Dad76/Mcree/Hanzo an extra half second to pop it without consequence.

With my experience in pubs, it's a little less than 50% "hero picks" and a little more than 50% "STAND ON THE OBJECTIVE YOU SHITS".

I swear pubby teammates just completely ignore the point until overtime starts.

I can't really add to all the great advice everyone else has given (seriously never stop throwing that concussion mine in people's faces, it fucks them up hardcore) but one little trick is to go into options and change it so his RIP-tire automatically climbs walls when you press X.

The brawl also allows me, the poo poo Tracer™ to have the occasional cool killing streak on Tracer, which in quick play would probably require me to drop five games to be a lovely Tracer. Or same thing with Hanzo, or whatever.
