Just tell me I'm exotic.
I keep trying to be good at this game but I guess I'm not. Can't think of a hero I can say I can do well at, it just changes too much from game to game. Right now I find it impossible to find a good time to use an ult unless it's already a sweep. Like I'll either never use pharas ult or if I do I'll die before I get a single kill. Same goes for McCree or reaper.

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


Admitting you are bad at Overwatch is the first step on the path to enlightenment.

Psst, Blizzard! If I left a server, it's because I don't want to play with these people again! Don't throw me in there again, idiots!

You should have waited a little bit instead of instajoining when you rage quit because sometimes people drop out due to connection issues or like getting DCd to pee in an actual toilet so it's nice to try to get back in the same game again.

Just remember, try to have fun :)

The mccree on my team though just kept acting like an rear end in a top hat, though. Kept saying "GG EZ" then complaining about how winston is no skill. I also got POTG.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
So I just got kicked from a game for inactivity as Symmetra. I was playing, moving, giving shields and shooting (we were dominating) and then it warned me I was inactive... and then I got kicked after doing some more things wondering "the hell is going on?" Anyone got any ideas?

Have you heard the Good News?
McCree is not even fun to play as

I just feel bad every time I pick him, there is absolutely zero satisfaction in E->fan (or E->fanrollfan) kills unless you're murdering Tracer or Genji, against everyone else it feels loving criminal

Hey, Roadhog, were you trying to exist? Nope

I can't hit a drat thing with Mccree unless it's a hammer fan. Even when stunning a reaper or tracer I try to shoot them in the head instead of fanning and they just teleport out of it.

The only fun McCree thing is when two McCrees flashbang each other at the same time + it turns into a duel

Does anyone else find that MMR seems to adjust pretty quickly when solo queuing? Get 4 golds a couple games in a row and suddenly everyone you're playing with is competent and saying useful things on mic.

But are there goons on the EU servers or do i have to rebuy the game for NA?

1) Yes. I haven't looked into the communication thingies in the OP myself, but I know we do exist.
2) You can switch regions in the Battle.Net client, it's the drop-down menu above the Play button. Friends are not shared between regions, unlocks apparently are.

I find Attack missions - Genji or D'va
Defence missions - Bastion or Torbjorn

Europe has something like 20+ different languages of roughly equal distribution so chat tends to be quiet
It's also why Europe server goons are so rare - SA is an English speaking forum so almost only Brits use it.

Then again, in Europe people speak more than one language. It's not that hard.

IT'S ALL TURNED TO SHIT!
Yeah they definitely did something screwy. If you play a non-skirmish custom game you will get kicked for not doing anything related to objectives. You can shoot and move about and use abilities and none of it matters unless you affect an objective. You will always get kicked on defence because there's no objective for you to cap and just standing on the objective doesn't count. Eliminations might also reset inactivity but I didn't check.

really? I think he's super fun. His gun is fun to shoot.

there aren't so many characters who reward you for just straight up clicking on a dude, so his 100% accurate hitscan M1 is nice.

neither Widowmaker nor Mccree are instant wins because maybe the enemy team just picks a better Widowmaker or Mccree.

I don't think people are saying he's instant win. He just feels awful to play against.

I've never once seen a mcree PotG or died to his flashbang+fan and thought "I got outplayed there".

No some people are like "oh McCree isn't fun to play because you just flashbang and M2" people like it's an instant win button that requires literally no positioning or timing or aiming or anything and like, that's just not true.

Both those characters require decent proficiency in FPSs to actually be overpowered, at least. You still can get braindead kills with them when you're poo poo tho.

If the answer to beating a Mccree or Widow is "Play as a better Mccree or Widow" then something done hosed up.

The answer to beating a good Mccree or Widow is play a better Mccree or Widow.

A bad Mccree can be handled by a good Widow, and a bad Widow can be handled by a mediocre Winston or a good Genji.

You have been called out, in the ways of old.
For some reason the next hero appears to be another sniper, after all the Widow complaints I don't know if that's the best thing to do. I always thought the next class should be another builder or grenadier type person.

Are any of these stat tracking websites that are around tracking
- how many of your games (wins) in a group vs. solo queue
- win/loss for brawl games

I assume this answer is "no", but asking just in case...
