Mei is an environmental scientist, she is not evil.

Zenyatta is part of a group of omnics that decided to gently caress off and become monks instead of being evil.

They're all fighting for their own reasons, they just sometimes have the same reasons as other groups to go push a car.

Mostly reasons that apparently involve loving off and expecting someone else to push it.

Imagine there was a previous video game that explained the story of Overwatch and what you're now playing is the MOBA / hero arena multiplayer-only knockoff.

Not sure why you guys are hating. It's a fact that the game is full of ragequitters and aimbotters currently. Last weekend I soloqueued and got 7(!) leavers in a row. Over some dumb poo poo like someone taking Bastion (on defense) or something.

no and no, respectively. there was an "omnic crysis" where evil AI took control of a bunch of robots and tried to murder a bunch of stuff, some of them are still around but most of the omnics are basically just people hanging out and trying to get equal rights. you'll notice there's a bunch of graffiti in king's row making fun of omnic's rights and like the lady with the omnic boyfriend in the widowmaker short, the lady with the omnic boyfriend in the less popular sombra animation, etc

just look a little deeper and you'll uncover the deep robot boyfriend lore

Well that's pretty much the only way you're going to get wins in mystery heroes.

If you find it fun, and it gives the same amount of xp as QP anyway, it's an alternative way to play and, along the way, get those three free lootboxes. Limited to just Hanamura and King's Row, I've seen Attack win almost every single time unless Defense gets an amazing comp and doesn't lose it. It's no where near as fast as good 1v1/3v3, but I like the random factor of who I'll get to play.

Everyone experiences the same thing with teammates, if you are truly a 3500-4000 player you will rise to that level over time, period. It's not because of a leaver, a rage quit, ect. Over time, you will gain SR if you are under your true skill. That's mostly what people are laughing at.

Also agree this quote should be the thread title for the comp thread.

Hi pals. I made it to level 25 and jumped into competitive placement rounds to have some fun. There I met some of the saltiest players I've experienced since Warcraft 3 DOTA days, but worse because they have mics now. I thought competitive would have had "team player" kinds of people and less insane meltdowns. Does it get better from here? I'm at rank ~2100.

Namaste.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

What's the logic here? They award less XP per match than the 6v6 modes (since they take less time); is the idea that you win enough matches to make up the difference with Match Win bonuses?

Oh. That's shortsighted then I think; you get exactly as many loot boxes for getting 9 wins on Wednesday as you do if the ninth win comes on Monday. XP is a much bigger factor for maximizing loot boxes.
