But people are talking about how powerful he is, not how popular he is. The first thing is what matters wrt buffs/nerfs

When will Symmetra finally be nerfed so quickplay will be free from the tyranny of the laser chainsaw, I ask you?

DeliciousCookie posted:I kinda feel like discussions like these are forgetting that comp isn't the only game mode played. Cause Genji has like a near 100% pickrate in QP. 8.63%, which translates closer to 52% pickrate (ish, overbuff's numbers aren't perfect thanks to the way that winrate is counted). Also, QP has even more confounding factors than competitive for statistical analysis. Most notably, Blizzard doesn't even track winrate in QP anymore.

Yes, lets buff Genju by giving him an instant zero-warning 120 damage slash instead of minutely adjusting one of his other abilities.Kai Tave posted:When will Symmetra finally be nerfed so quickplay will be free from the tyranny of the laser chainsaw, I ask you? As soon as you learn keyboard and mouse because she's still 'eh' on PC.

The only thing I really hate about Symmetra is when she sticks all her turrets around a spawn point in FFA and murders you on arrival. Or you drag yourself out to get casually picked off by someone passing by.

It makes me glad Symmetra is still fairly uncommon in FFA and in my experience, never really ranks that high because the majority of her kills come from the spawncamping.

I don't think I need to say this here but I need to say this. loving LOOK AROUND YOU DUMBSHITS. As Orisa I'm consistently the only one firing at Pharahs and flankers that are otherwise killing the team, and people regularly turn their backs on Genjis to do whatever other useless poo poo they think they need to do. I guess that'll improve if I go up in competitive ranks, but jesus. I'd really love 'rendering device lost' crashes to stop happening in competitive games. I'd also love to stop being set against silvers and golds while doing my placement rounds. Even the people I have been placed against have been all 'why the gently caress is there an unranked in this match?' It's not like I'm good or anything, I've been getting destroyed by them. So many edits: apparently 3 wins, a draw, and 6 losses in the placements is enough for 2081 SR.

As far as I can tell from people higher than I am, the only thing that improves as you go up in rank is that people's aim gets slightly better. Even according to someone like Blinky, who topped at something like 4.6k SR, people are loving idiots all the way up to grandmasters. The only thing you can count on improving is you.

totalnewbie posted:Yeah, Mercy is basically target number 1 and everyone else is just gravy. The games i usually end up in - I am a zen main and i have seen reaper dva and junkrat on the other team all do their ultis together just to kill me - and no one else is targetted.... Also the PUGs i get suck bigtime, i am a casual gamer and I am the only one on the payload EVER.... The other day my friend and I were in a pug, he is a fairly new player (about lvl 90 i think) and I am lvl 126 but we were in a team with everyone < lvl 30 and the opposing team had people with 800+ levels and a silver plaque (my friend says they are grandmasters or something) Needless to say we lost, but it was close - question is, is it just the matchmaking sucking or did it think my friend and i were better than it thought and matched our SR higher? We get this quite a lot BTW this is not a one off. TheresaJayne fucked around with this message at 10:22 on Oct 6, 2017 |

Two things really. QP matchmaking sucks, grouping up pushes your MMR up slightly and many people who are legit good at the game don't play much QP, so their MMR is really low in QP but really high in comp. I still go up against diamonds/masters in QP despite going up against GM's in comp, which isn't really fair for them but because its QP nobody really cares.

As a support, particularly one with not a lot of mobility or defense, you probably shouldn't be on the payload unless your team's all around you or the enemy team has been wiped. Also, if you don't like being focused down, don't play a support. Just saying - if you consistently find yourself all alone like that (particularly as a support), maybe you're the one out of position, not everyone else.

I don't know what you did to the internet but I'd been looking for a fix for this and had been getting conflicting 'fixes' until your post made me look again, which led me to finding a blue post listing the exact version I need to roll back to. So, thanks.

Help I still want to play Hanzo even though he's trash and I'm trash. I've never played him in a comp game because the shame would be too great, and he get slampicked on QP like all the drat time because of course he would. Also sup 1337 dudes and dudettes

The shorty thing is that Hanzo's kit rules and he's actually mad fun (Scattershot is OP and shouldn't just delete anyone besides tanks if they shoot your feet) but playing with a Hanoi who has good positioning and high sonic arrow uptime owns bones

Just play him in FFA then where you can Hanzo to your hearts content and no one can bitch at you and if other people pick him you just get the joy of killing Hanzo as well! Bonus!

I like the idea of Mei pouring her heart into stitching together this cute jiangshi outfit and getting some little plastic vampire fangs from the dollar store as the finishing touch. "I'll win this costume contest for sure!" And then Symmetra walks into the party covered head to toe in flawless Rick Baker caliber prosthetics.
