Dr Christmas posted:Though I'm having a bit of trouble with the achievement for hitting someone from 25 yards. I've hit people from a fair distance, but apparently not enough. I thought the one for hitting 3 people in a game as they reload would be harder, since most people are cogent enough to wait until they're safe, but it got it. My trick for getting this is to, at the start of the round, run up the stairs and blindly fire straight across, hoping to catch someone running up the opposing stairs.

Dear Blizzard, Something is wrong with your QP matchmaker if one side has players with 3.5k+ Average Comp Rating and the other side has 2.7k Average rating. Getting smashed so hard thanks to the lovely matchmaker.

Personally I love to see higher ranked players. Yea we probably lose but it's better than rolling over a bunch of golds, I like the challenge.

level is not an indication of skill. rank is better for that if you gotta check that stuff

I assume that your QP rank and your Comp rank are kept separate though? It would make sense for people who play seriously in comp but want to be able to QP drunk or with characters they never normally use to not be matched against people at their comp ranking.

there is no qp rank, at least not in the way I'm talking about. you can check people's comp sr by viewing their profile but qp doesn't have any kind of indication of how it attempts to match you and regardless of which game mode you're playing, you are never matched based off of your ingame level. I bet there are people at the level cap in bronze

1800 is where you stop getting a new border (it's like platinum and gold or something) there is no point where you stop being able to level up tho. my wording was poor

There's a hidden QP rating they use to give their match making algorithm something to work with. If I had to guess it probably has more wiggle room than the comp matchmaking so that QP matches can be set up quicker, but still tight enough that matches don't have one player just dunking on everyone, team comp not withstanding.

Not sure if its been mentioned yet, but Moira has a really bad bug at the moment where you can wind up disabling her biotic orb entirely until you hero swap or the match ends. Seems to be caused by canceling out of Biotic Orb and going into fade immediately after.

There is a bias towards matching people under level 100 with other people of under level 100. There is also some sort of QP MMR, but it is highly flexible-- I occasionally see players from bronze all the way to GM in my QP games, but I rarely see anyone below 2000 SR or anyone above 3500.

I'm actually curious about this, but why do people hate others playing Mei or Hanzo or Bastion or whatever below GM, when there are mains playing them just fine at 4k+?

everyone has always hated hanzo, even when he was good and in the pro meta. the reason can be summed up in two words: scatter arrow even the bad heroes can be good if played into the right situation or team comp but most people have no idea what that means

The real reason is because those heroes are inconsistent or don't gel well. A good hanzo owns, but if he's having an off day, he's not contributing at all, whereas a soldier is at least putting out some damage.

A good hanzo owns, but if he's having an off day, he's not contributing at all, whereas a soldier is at least putting out some damage. People always say this, but over a ton of hours of hanzo, my damage output averaged out to ~90% of my hero damage output on soldier (elims/final blows/solo kills end up higher because hanzo does so much burst damage). I mean you're firing 120 damage projectiles into over-sized hitboxes, it's really not that hard to be hitting arrows. I've played every dps at length and they all feel comparably streaky. Might just be that I've played too much hanzo and he's now a consistent hero for me, but a really off game still comes out to 75% of the damage I'd do on soldier. That said, you're definitely right about the not gelling part. I pretty much don't play hanzo in solo-queue if I'm at all trying to win because just the pick tilts team mates even with a 70% winrate over 15 hours. In retrospect I wish i could go back and have put that same energy into learning a hero that you can play without your team mates instantly freaking out.

A big reason I hate snipers like Hanzo and Widow and to a lesser extent Ana is that every dipshit wants to play them so half of my team is snipers and if the other team is good at diving or if we're on attack, it's not going to be fun at all. One sniper in a team, even if they're not that good, is tolerable because the rest of the team can pick up the slack or make the most of the successful picks.

If you bind an emote key and jump three times while hitting said emote key three times the next time you hit the emote key will get you the infinite present thing.

Yeah, this is my first winter event so I assumed it was new, but that's the one. I was bummed at first that my legendary ended up being an emote but then I saw the infinite gift version and now I have to play Zarya.
