Please share ..... it's pretty hard not to be at least somewhat useful with Lucio but I still feel like I'm not using him to his full potential, and I still have noooo idea mwhat I'm doing with Ana

IMO if you play Lucio you gotta be willing to get on the ones and twos and tell everyone how to play and when to push, when to get away from an ult, when to chase someone down, etc. And you have to consider the psychological effect you have when you change to speed mode and stuff like that. People are gonna respond to "Push push kill that guy" or whatever when all of a sudden they're moving faster for example. Ana I think it pays to be about as aggressive as your tanks are being, though I'm still experimenting with her lol.

Just play it as if it's quick play with more serious people IMO. The fact that everyone thinks their number is going to get them a million dollar loan or whatever only makes the community slightly more obnoxious and it's just funner overall, IMO.

Plus if your the kind of person who likes to get better at a video game competitive is way more conducive to critically thinking about the game even if they pick stupid characters. It's easier to see why junkrat on Rt 66 is a stupid idea to keep slamming against the wall on attack. That said I also think everyone should give the stupid pick person a chance to blow their mind, at least on attack since you have time to experiment without losing a point or something, but just ask them nicely if they'd change if it doesn't work for them. I usually explain it's not even a thing about how good you are, I'm a badass at Tracer but I don't get to play Tracer-friendly games every time or sometimes you just aren't making it happen and you gotta know when to switch up.

Yeah I played Competitive in that before I even learned how to play CS (back before you had to play 10000 hours of casual first -_-) just because I think that's the actual game so why wouldn't I just do that.

did they ever add an option to do 5v5 with real cs rules except without the best to 15 that makes comp comp? I hated grinding xp in casual and gungame.

The cool thing about overwatch is that casual pretty much runs on the same rules it's just no sideswitching.

There's probably ESEA and just regular Community Servers for that but ESEA is for if your a god at the game. I haven't played CS in a long time though. When I first played it I was surprising myself with how quickly I was getting ranks and people were telling me I was epic so I signed up to ESEA for a month to see how awesome I really was and it completely destroyed my soul within the first 2 hours lmfao.

Yeah I figured at the time that I would just stick to the game's matchmaking until I got really good at that because when I played in a few ESEA games I felt like they weren't even the top level and I couldn't comprehend the pwnage. I had only played the game for a couple months or so and before that my only CS experience was a 24/7 Office 32p server in Source when I was 14 or something.

When I tried it I think I had gotten the AK with wheat around it rank, or maybe 2 AKs I don't remember, but I was still getting pwned so hard I didn't even know what I could do or how to learn from it lol. That was also before I started taking the game as seriously as I eventually did so maybe if I tried again I'd at least be able to tell what's going on lol.

if youre dying a lot and feel like you're headbutting a wall, it's common sense to just switch. quickplay is there if you wanna practice your genji skill or whatever but in comp it's so important to be flexible, just switching it up can throw the enemy off.
