There have been countless threads about the forced 50/50, which has not been able to be proved; obviously. And perhaps the MM is fair, but over the past few weeks I have been noticing a spike in damage done/taken with my group based on our winning streak: The more you win, the less damage you do and the more damage you take. Last night, after winning 10 consecutive games, in a pre-formed group, we began to lose, no matter how hard we focused. This continued into this morning until we hit 10 losses. Interesting. After our 5th loss, I wanted to obtain actual numbers and began testing my theory. D.va's pilot damage is obvious and static, so I used her. I remained out of the MEKA and would only fire 1-2 shots an enemy's chest. On heroes with no armor/shield it was 6 damage per bullet to the chest, consistently. My team has since started a custom game and repeated the same experiment, each bullet now does 14 damage to the chest. I am not a theorycrafter, nor a game designer, I am just a regular gamer. If we are able to have more evidence, and visual proof (Soon ™), Blizzard will not be able to deny that they implemented a handicap in a game they call fair. Want to see this for yourself? The easiest way to notice the increased damage you take is by Roadhog's hook. Its baseline damage is supposed to be 30, regardless of where it lands. Watch it fluctuate depending on your winning streak. Edit: Video proof will be uploaded within 48 hours. I will be using FRAPS per community recommendation. Since the baseline of my complaint is purely damage done, I will replicate the D.va pilot example as notated above; after finishing a 10 game win streak. This will show a single shot into a flankers chest with no other enemies or healing available and then a custom game where I do the same.

Hopefully instead of Sombra (boring sniper), Bilzzard throws a curveball and releases a frog themed hero that uses their tongue as primary fire (think roadhog hookshot). That way I can consume the enemy team and have them live inside of me, forever. Also the voice lines should be very erotic. They could go whichever direction with the accent they want, it's fine. Fingers crossed for the next patch

Having never played this before I decided to only do the gun game mode because it sounded hilarious, and it really is when you don't know anything. I have 10 seconds after spawning to figure out how the gently caress to play whatever clown I've been given this time. Usually this did not end well but then it gave me the little ice girl and I don't know why but I fuckin destroyed the other team with her. Then when I finally died after a 16 kill streak it gave me her again. She seems incredibly powerful.

It'd be nice if MMRs weren't hidden [to yourself] so people could start calculating win/loss ratio to mmr whilst factoring solo/group play. Blizz would rather be obtuse about it though.

I told my team over mic to not fight at the archway on Valskaya Industries whilst attacking, someone in chat asked how to mute people.... This isn't even the first time I once got told to shut up. Once I told D.Va she could boost over the water on the left hand side platform and flank from behind the point. I hate the silence of European servers. Why have I not joined the goon guild yet?

Fans posted:Junkrat's trap is probably the best thing to kill Tracer outside of some Symmetra turrets. She can't even rewind out of it quote:Also if someone is being a huge pain in the rear end as a flanker, putting a Junkrat trap on a healthkit is a premium dick move because even if they're lucky enough to spot it and shoot it, the trap will use the healthkit. I also had a round where someone picked Symmetra on attack. Somewhat unorthodox, but hey, if you can make it work, why not? Turns out, one dude on our team had a massive problem with this, and started angrily typing at the Symmetra to switch "champion". When this didn't work, he just went, "fine, time to troll" then switched to her himself. The original Symmtra had actually helped the team by putting up a teleporter pretty much right next to the point, but I guess angry guy just couldn't handle pressing Tab and seeing a Symmetra on his team on attack.

I love when people get conspiratorial about defense suddenly doing better when they're about to lose a payload match. Like, yeah, and it has nothing to do with number-fudging or rubberbanding, it's because their final spawnpoint is right by the goal and the map is fortified in defense's favour. No secret mechanics required.

You win a bunch and your mmr goes up so you start facing off against premade groups since they also win a lot and have good mmr and then you lose, so your mmr goes back down and you face other scrubs like yourself again it is a harsh cycle of pain

Scherloch posted:As a fellow European, I think I've heard pubbies use the built-in voice twice. Once was a couple of Eastern European dudes speaking their own language, the other was some dude saying, in a thick Russian accent, "You are all retards, I hope you get cancer" before ragequitting. EU goon here as well  I do mostly groups, but I guess I have around 100 games in just random quick games (brawls or not). I don't think that I have ever heard any one say any actual gameplay related stuff in the in-game voice. Only some occasional, very disturbing noice that I mute instantly. But I guess that's kind of Europe in a nutshell.

You're less likely to hear people on voice chat because of the way it pushes you into siloed voice channels automatically when you group queue. I talk on mic all the time when I queue with friends, but that means my pub teammates can't hear me.

For fun, compare yourselves to the top people on the MasterOverwatch winrate leaderboards. Obviously they're all frauds disconnecting because none of these dudes are holding 95% win rates but look at the stats themselves and they're all sorts of weird. The top guy for win rate in the world when playing Pharah dies way less than me but does less damage, has less objective time, fewer objective kills, lower kill streaks, etc. I'm wondering what kind of poo poo this guy from Brazil is pulling.

Watching a recording of one of these guys on Twitch. Some of it's that he's always queueing with a full team that regularly plays together on mic so he doesn't have to carry or coordinate with random dead weight. I will say his Pharah movement is very good but his aim is really not great. It's weird.

My kill death ratio with mercy is already way above where it should be. Nobody expects me to charge at them and beat them to death with my lovely pistol. Ended a game with 7 blaster kills, which included somehow falling completely behind enemy lines and going on a goddamn journey to kill hanzo
