They've acknowledged this is a problem and I think it's gonna happen. Probably in like a month when the current competitive season ends . I don't have enough AIDS yet to watch pro Overwatch but apparently when it goes into overtime teams will just triple up on Tracers and stagger their respawn and keep suiciding on the point and triggering overtime forever

oh no they better not pull the "we cant make any balance changes until the season is over" bullshit who cares

They're definitely not because Torbjorn's turret is getting nerfed 30% of its damage on consoles any day now in a shortly upcoming patch, Im just guessing here and I figured they might wait for between seasons to introduce any major changes to game modes. Although maybe they'll time it with the new hero release which is happening this month or something, who knows

gently caress you. its impossible to stop a team from just going all winston+tracer just to keep tapping the point and immediately melting

eh, if they're respawns are staggered it's pretty easy to just kill them over and over. i haven't had a problem with it

As a filthy tracer player, killing objective rushing tracers is pretty easy if you aim where she's going instead of where she's currently dashing through

she is ripped straight out of killing floor lol. dart rifle and gas grenades that poison enemies+heal teammates. i love her.

also they fixed overtime. respawns take a few more seconds and the timer burns down a lot faster if overtime has lasted >20 seconds

I played a solo competitive placement round on defense that was really satisfying. We had a great team lineup and stopped them after two points. Then when it was our turn to attack they went 6x engie and my team of pubs lost in two minutes.

My first and last experience with "competitive mode".

Some people have things called Friends that they like to chill with on the couch and just shoot the poo poo and game like bau5es. Crack open a cold beer and pass the controller around to your friends, you know. Oh wait... You wouldn't since your too busy looking up the prices of what GPU you have to buy every 2 weeks on arstechnica.

Good news bud

"The big thing for Competitive Play is we're going to turn on one-hero limit, so players will not be able to stack more than one of the same hero within a Competitive match. It's not going to affect Quick Play at all, but it is something we're going to turn on for Competitive

bastion is hosed the moment anyone tries to attack him. all of offense and junkrat are hard counters. ppl just hate having to wait for their damage dealer to deal with the death beam
