(I have no opinion on this at all actually. But it's important to know both spellings/names so you can piss off the right people.)

Do Euro players ever just drop poo poo like "Macdeonia best nation, gently caress to Serbia" or whatever and see if it works?

This is why you play with goons and keep your criticism in voice chat. Then you get the benefit of making your team mad at you for dumb reasons while also not getting silenced by blizzard.

If you queue with pubbies you deserve to get squelched.

Thats part if my criticism though. If its bad it should be bad all the time. If its not, then why punish here and not there? Also its really dumb that the silence silences GROUP chat so i cant even communicate with my team i queued with.

I was playing Mei the other day and a D.Va tried to escape me by boosting up to an overhang on Volskaya and I just ran after, wall-boosting my self to chase her down for the finish. Wall-boosting around Hanamura opened up some new routes for me as well, I'm going to have to get used to it as a skill.

This one's pretty obvious but on Anubis defense if you hug the left wall from spawn you can bridge the gap and come in on the backside of A. Usually the capping team is focused on the door so you can surprise anyone capping the point. Bonus points if you spawn with a teammate and have them follow you.

Because blizzard isn't going to go into your computer and uninstall discord/mumble and probably doesn't have the resources to play hall monitor with voice chat? I mean if you're going to make it so that poo poo can be screenshotted and chatlogged and put in a complaint to blizzard then maybe you should consider the format rather than the message, if you're unwilling or unable to see "defeat" come up without verbally pointing fingers.

So some friends and I were chatting about overwatch and what it would be like if there were doubles matches. We made plans to try this in custom (is this possible?), but I'm of the opinion that Soldier+anyone would be amazing. Particularly a soldier+dva team. I was informed that reaper+mei would be best. What do you think of our harebrained schemes and crackpot imaginations? What combos would you come up with, or is doubles stupid in overwatch? Please share your thoughts.

She's incredibly fun to play as. D.va's kind of this funny case where the feel and feedback of the character- zipping around with the game's most exhilarating movement ability and stomping into the room spraying infinite ammo- outweighs her actual level of power.

Everyone can go that route by jumping on the small building between A and B and back to the platform next to the stairs leading down to A, so it's not depending on Mei.

D.Va used to be a lot worse than she currently is, the change to defense matrix actually brought her up to adequacy and gave her the ability to actually tank whereas before she was an extremely fragile nuisance, and the changes to her ult made it much more useful than something for farming PotGs off of bad players. Plus as Supercar Gautier said actually playing as her and being able to fly around ramming people feels satisfying.

I agree, but he was talking specifically about Dva. I'd say most characters have a place in the game - except Genji. Delete him.

yeah you've definitely done this, that's why you've heard the game say "PENTA KILL" at any point right :buddy:

I enjoy how the announcer completely loses her poo poo when you get a quadruple kill, but then regains her certitude and composure when it gets to quintuple.

You can do this with anyone by jumping on the building to the right of the broken bridge, walking around to the other side, then jumping back on the other side of the bridge. :ssh:

Also, you can jump on the little wall you're facing when leaving the defending spawn (out the main spawn door, left, right, you're looking at it now) and hop over the trench that leads to the 250 HP med pack below the bridge to B, which will shave a couple of seconds of your trip as well. Just hug the small corner in the wall and double jump on top of the wall.
