Shot calling QP is kinda annoying (but your plan of practicing to feel more comfortable in comp makes sense), but their response should just be to mute you if they don't like it rather than rage

I had a huge overtime win in comp where we barely any progress on the first round.

The enemy team was simply flabbergasted that they lost. Not even blaming each other, but just in state of shock lol. It was great.

You'd think that just muting a person is easier than bitching at them but what do I know.

It's someone saying that the game was won based on the difference in skill between whoever. So like, "support diff" is saying that your supports were bad or etc.

To be fair, people on casual formats are there, because they don't want to tryhard.

You can't become better at comp, by playing casual formats.

It's pretty much just this, calling targets to stay in the practice of doing so where it matters. I'm not sure why someone would be irritated by this, I guess if they've never played or watched a team game with voice chat coms before and weren't used to it.

I had to Google it when I was identified as being "Moira diff". It means "difference" as in, "this player is bad enough to be the difference between our team winning and losing."

In my case, it was accurate. I switched to Mercy and we won, lol.

The galaxy-brsin play on my part is to just queue as tank and gently caress poo poo up with Zarya, which is strong and my friend.

I understand everyone's desire to communicate with teammates but I also feel like the game is designed to make everything that's happening as clear as possible at almost all times and if you can't hear Reaper's big clonking boots and his extremely specific firing sounds and then you can't see the game telling you in the top right that Reaper has killed both of your supports before the Reaper subsequently kills you then I don't think some chump's nasally-rear end callouts are gonna help you.

most peoples' comms are 95% useless if not actively detrimental either because they're distracting, talking over sound cues, giving bad information, or potentially are tilting team mates

comms are also vital at a certain level so that's not to say people shouldn't practice them, but good comms take a long time to develop as a skill

bubbling two teammates at all times and only using mine when i have to retreat or eat a rein charge feels very good

I've had a several tanks now just go out into the middle of the team and then get super mad I'm not healing them and honestly I can't even say they're wrong but I just instantly die when I try.

better to die with your team than be alive while your team dies, this is true in like 98% of circumstances

it's actually good to die with your team, in fact. every second you're alive after most of your team is dead is seconds you are stealing from your team.

IIRC maybe he hit Diamond but I don't think he ever really try harded OW. His game sense is definitely lacking a bit but he's still way above a silver player just on mechanics alone. Hard carrying on Widow with like 50 elims is something OW1's algo noticed and would place you higher than a typical fresh account (which IIRC usually used to be around high silver or gold). Will be interesting to see how much he jumps after his first promotion but I think he stopped playing today before he reached that point. Point is just if you weren't a regular high ranked player in OW1 you shouldn't feel bad about placing in silver or bronze.

Must have just happen, right now he's not even selectable in Unranked. Torb can be but it says he's locked in ranked.

he's smart enough that he'll obviously go farther if he wants, but game knowledge is basically everything in ow

torb and bastion were both likely disabled because bastion had that fun ult bug and torb could double overdrive

We need more women in STEM, and by that, I mean skateboarding, television, esports, and magic.
Most of the heroes disabled again, gently caress this. It's been a loving week Blizzard, how have you not restored a standard level of functionality to this game, what the hell?

The last few days were so smooth that it was actually surprising logging in today and realising it had gone back to being a piece of poo poo again. It was literally unplayable the first day or two and you can at least play the game now which is nice

His overdrive ability or whatever makes him do a LOT of damage, you basically shred tanks. I've gotten more PotGs with him in the last two days than I remember ever getting with basically anyone else.
