This is a waste of an Ana ult though IMO.

If I'm playing in game 7 of the CPL Finals I'll probably boost the Reinhardt instead but gently caress it.

Roadhog, Reinhardt, S76, Reaper, and Pharah take priority for my ult when I'm playing Ana.

Those are always good choices, but my boost will go to Lucio. He usually end up skating between me and my target when I press Q.

Yep, and it should hit zero around noonish tomorrow.

Given how quickly the ARG crowd are suddenly blowing through today's clues after being stalled for ages, it kinda feels like Blizzard is nudging them through the last of the hints and getting ready to do the proper reveal right away.

Sombra will not be a playable hero.

Sombra will be a premium lockbox system that can only be purchased with real dollars. She will cost $5 per box, but she will contain a guaranteed gold item and random player icons that can only be found in Sombra.

God drat I think I just played my best D.Va game yet.

Solo queue, Volskaya attack, it was me and a 5 stack vs assorted groups. I dragged them kicking and screaming to victory, capping B by myself by killing 4 of them with my ult then finishing off a Junkrat in pilot mode while the other stepped off the point to throw a wheel at me which I shot down.

Got 3 or 4 quad-kills, including 2 4-men ult, 4 gold medals, a 25 killstreak and POTG.

I'm smiling like an idiot. :dva:

I'd rather get paired with Bacontotem than Random Leaver #487627293-8 because at least one of those scenarios has the potential to be entertaining.

Winston is good for more than just that, is the thing. It's not like his sole purpose is to mildly annoy Genji, Winston is actually a pretty solid character that's been a staple of comp play. It's not like someone is recommending you try going Mei or something. Getting to bust Genji's chops is one benefit of going Winston but far from the only one.

Winston can't really guard his team against Genji while doing the other things he does, though. Just as Genji needs to watch his positioning if there's a Winston around, Winston is heavily limited in his positioning if he needs to stay close enough to zone out Genjis.

Settle down dude. It's a pretty normal reaction to dislike someone throwing a game. Not every post has to be "if I disagree, it's because someone is bad and I have to own them on that."

Sure just like any other kind of bad player or leaver, mathematically you're more likely to face them than to be paired with them, but that doesn't do anything for the 5 people who just got their game sunk.

If you're low enough to get paired with Bacontotem, you weren't exactly destined for great things anyway.

Nehru the Damaja
May 20, 2005

Even as he got down into the ranks of appalling duffers who would never climb, he had people who got stuck on his team in placements. So make sure to do your placements after Bacontotem has done his but before he's so low that the matchmaker can't find anyone to pair him with I guess.

But even the people who absolutely belong in the sewer ranks -- okay they're terrible at the game. But who are we to say their goal of making it out of the bottom 10% or whatever isn't valid?
