I think I've passed through the salt mines and come out the other side. Some comp games you're just not going to win. Doesn't matter if you try to be a solo flanking superstar, or a model team player. Some teams are just not going to work in sync and there's nothing you can do about it. Instead of worrying about your comp stats, which you have only a tiny fraction of control over, just view it as a way to earn comp points for weapon skins or whatever future shineys Blizzard lets you buy with them.

Verranicus posted:So how are you other solo queue comp goons doing this season so far? Currently 48, high of 51, low of 45 I think? I've been steadily improving my win% and climbing since I said gently caress it and just decided to play Rein or Mercy every round. I think tactically I'm a high 50s player but I have the aim of a low 40s character. This is playing 100% solo queue.

Every game I play goes something like this: Team is full of Offensive heroes who can't shoot straight, or five Widowmakers who refuse to play anything else, at all, ever. Pubbies are the worst.

How does Zarya's beam power decay work? Does it decay while you shoot it, or over time? Does it affect the grenade launcher too?

Power affects both beam and grenade. One of the best ways to get a huge multikill solo is to build up high charge then trap a bunch of squishies and grenade them to death.

Regalingualius posted:I forget: when (if ever) does Zarya's beam outdamage her grenades? Always. The beam deals almost double the DPS of the grenade at every charge level. The problem is, tracking with it can be rough sometimes, especially at lower charge when the beam has fairly short range and a narrow hitbox, while the grenades are always the same arc and explosion radius. Also, by virtue of being explosions, the grenades are easier for hitting enemies with and poking from behind cover, and are especially useful for Tracer and Genji, who are very annoying to fight as Zarya. These are the reasons that the grenade is better at low charge, not the damage difference. If you're fighting another tank solo, always use the beam, it'll kill them significantly faster than the grenades will.

NoDamage posted:Wait, the beam's hitbox grows with the charge level? Yes. Both its maximum range and width increase with higher charge levels. It never hits more than one thing at a time, there's no piercing or glancing damage with it, but it becomes easier to track with as it charges just by virtue of the larger hitbox. I had known about the hitbox width change forever because its visually obvious while using it, but the increase in range was something I didn't know until relatively recently. If you find you never have any idea if something is in range of your beam or not, well, that's why. It's especially disorienting as Pharah, who doesn't need to care about Zarya at all when she's at low charge, but at high charge Zarya can suddenly hit you easily for massive damage right out of the sky.

Nehru the Damaja posted:Be prepared to carry gimmick torbs for the next two weeks. I'd actually rather get dunked on by good players non stop than win against teams with multiple torbs. Fighting the turrets is a pain in the rear end without getting the mic and poo poo and getting all serious and team work about it. You can't depend on your team to take them out either so you're basically forced to focus on it or face an embarrassing molten core defeat

I'll let you in on a little secret, Torb's turret is on the cusp of being bad. Counters to Torb's turret include but is not limited to, Torb, Pharah, Widowmaker, Rein, Dva, Winston, Zarya, Mercy, Mcree, Mei, Soldier, Hanzo, and Zenyatta.

Yeah I realize Torb is basically suboptimal in every situation but I love playing him anyway. I got into a huge multipost argument with some guy on the OF last night where he was saying the turret should have a delay on lockon and despite everyone else saying it'd make an already below average character worse he would not listen to reason.

Needless to say, it was the fastest I've ever lost any round of this game, period. It was insane. E: this was in comp mode, too btw

Torb is great against lovely players, but Torb gets rolled by anyone who can shoots man reasonably well.

ils posted:Torb is great against lovely players, but Torb gets rolled by anyone who can shoots man reasonably well. Torb is great against teams that don't communicate where the turret is. Even lovely players that talk can at least shoot it. I've tried using Torb in ranked matches a couple times and the turret is usually good for 1 or 2 kills then gets destroyed and then you're useless because you usually don't have the time to build another turret if they got past your front line anyways.

Except for a strong gun and armor for your bros I guess. I dont see the turret as being overpowered it's just an annoyance. Torb overall has a pretty strong kit though.

Honestly torb could upgrade his turret in 1, maybe 2 hits and I'd be fine with it. Some damage falloff to prevent it from sniping better than most players would be good too.
