They should've kept the stun on Junkrat's trap if it's a Tracer imo

A thing I have learned slumming in QP while my brand new friends learn the game is that my OW1 high-plat Winston is way too much for rando new players on the opposing team to deal with. There's like visible confusion when I jump *away* to safety before dying

Now that the servers seem to be kinda-sorta working, I’ve found that I’m having a lot of fun with JQ. Love the DOT and buff abilities. Moira feels extra fun as compared to OW1, too. Game feels less stodgy. The battle pass progression stuff is insanely dumb and I’m never going to spend a penny on it, and I miss end of match cards, but eh, I’ll stick with this for a while.

You would have to actually tank and throw many many games on OW1 to even make it to bronze. Lol I think I just got this. 70% win rate in the promos, bronze 5 babay!

Super curious: Can people post here what you are getting for match XP excluding any challenge completion XP? As well if you have bought the premium pass or not?

It is time based + whatever challenges you complete * your xp bonuses. Typical Comp games for me goes mid 1000:s unless the game is very short. Long games can go up to 2k. Fast deathmatches can be under 1k. That is with Premium bonus +20%

Mind over Matter posted:Can someone please explain the Eliminations, Assists, and Final Blows to me? At first I thought that Eliminations were final hits and Assists were kills that you participated in but didn't land the last hit on. But Eliminations and Final Blows can be different numbers so I guess that's not it? Eliminations are kills you got some amount of damage on before some minimum amount of time passes. I don’t know how healing and health packs affects this time, but if it’s been 5 seconds since you hit the person, you should always get elimination credit. Limit might be 10 seconds. Final Blows are kills where you got the final hit in. Assists are eliminations where someone else got the final blow and you contributed in some way that wasn’t damage. Whether healing/buffing someone who got elimination credit, or CCing/debuffing the player eliminated. In OW1 just healing would not give you assist credit in the upper right, but it would give you assist credit for stats and your scoreboard. There also was delineation for offensive and defensive assists. Haven’t gotten to play much OW2 to see how much they’ve changed the system, but it should be pretty close to the same.

I did not realize Sombra has infinite stealth now. Also I'm completely shite with Cassidy now with no stun to ward off people (also my aim is so much worse now).

Does comp get easier once you get out of bronze? I'm wondering if I'm struggling so much because of how many people are in bronze that really shouldn't be. I feel like you should only be in bronze if you lost most of your matches.

Does Junker Queen's damage over time when she throws her knife only work while the knife is in the enemy or does it keep ticking even when you retrieve it?

I still like how the only skin Sigma has, with shoes on, is the Talon skin. Because they might be out to ruin the world and brainwash people into becoming assassins and overall are bad, but even they got a limit with nasty old man feet. I do like his interactions with Moira, who sounds just so loving tired of babysitting him.

Sailor Dave posted:Does comp get easier once you get out of bronze? I'm wondering if I'm struggling so much because of how many people are in bronze that really shouldn't be. I feel like you should only be in bronze if you lost most of your matches. The devs or whoever said they intentionally placed players lower than they'd expect. Top 500 players were getting placed into low-mid Masters and GMs into diamond regardless of how many wins/losses they got. By that logic, you can expect maybe at best Gold-level players being put into Bronze. To answer your question, comp should never get easier moving up. My matches after 23 wins in my tank queue going from Silver 5, to Silver 2, to Silver 1 have been increasingly more challenging (and fun!). My brother placed Bronze 5 in his DPS queue playing in a stack or with me in a duo. He's climbed to Silver 4 after 28 wins (not sure how many losses).

I suppose what I meant was, since Bronze is the absolute lowest rank you can go and it can't go any lower, that means that the worst players that should be Bronze are smushed in with people that should be Gold, making it much harder to actually climb out since you could have Bronze teammates against Gold opponents. I was hoping that once you got into Silver, you'd have people closer to your actual skill level that you can actually work with.

I really hope they add a way to disable or limit the voice lines for when your team becomes outnumbered. Like, yeah. It's a good reminder to be careful when you're down a body and the enemy isn't. But I don't need to hear one every. drat. Time.

Turning on the ping for when an enemy or ally dies is very important and way more distinct, and doesn’t require watching the kill feed. That and the ping system can definitely improve your game awareness and teamwork. Players do generally pay attention to pings, especially the enemy ping that shows the hero icon. Very useful for showing where a widow or reaper is, for instance.

I was hoping that once you got into Silver, you'd have people closer to your actual skill level that you can actually work with. The MMR likely does its best to make sure if your opponent has Gold-level players, you will also have Gold-level players on your team. If you're meant to climb out of Bronze you will. If you're hardstuck in whatever rank it's probably because you aren't improving.

I didn't really realize how different getting rid of a tank would make the game. This plays basically like night and day in QP at least, I can see that characters with escapes and mobility are probably gonna be highly regarded compared to characters with little to no escapes or mobility such as sym, reaper, ana, or zen, just because you don't have that extra meat shield to help peel for you when you get in trouble. It's not better or worse, just different
