Higher ranks in every game have a longer queue than other modes. OW was particularly bad though nowhere near the old LoL with 45 minute queues.

use that $20 to get a nice duck meal at a local thai place.

if you're some flavor of vegetarian use it to buy a friend an indie multiplayer game you like to financially pressure them into playing it with you.

off hours high gm was absolutely getting into 30+ minute queues. I stopped ever watching ow on twitch because even when it wasn't that bad, it was still often 15-20 minutes of downtime per game

I wanted the vampire hunter Brigitte skin, because I like it a lot, I have none for her, and I’ve been playing her a lot.

I have been successfully convinced otherwise. Thank you all

support had 10 minute ques? What the gently caress game where you playing... I mostly play support and never had a que of more then a few minutes (OW1 or OW2).

Yeah and the bottleneck was tanks in end state OW1. Nobody wants the pressure of being a main tank soaking up 10 different CC abilities. So supports are going to wait 10 minutes for a tank to queue up.

how the gently caress do you counter Zarya she just walks forward and microwaves you to death no matter what other tank you pick.

edit: maybe I should just ignore her and Winston into their backline

I got silver 5 on support even though I lost way more games than I won, and bronze 2 on DPS even though I won more games than I lost. Granted I know I'm not a very good DPS and belong in the silver/gold tier at best, but it was weird since I was getting a lot of eliminations and damage. I also felt like I wasn't doing as well with heals or staying alive as a support.

This ranking stuff is weird.

If you want to go toe to toe, I think agro rein can make her blow her cooldowns and then easy pin. He can also still outplay her in the "taking up space" game.

This depends on the enemy DPS not destroying him from various angles. As always, rein needs team play to work.

Unironically yes.

A lot of overwatch right now is ignoring their tank as much as possible, mostly you use them as ult charge (if you can do it safely) and murder their supports otherwise.

Down here with the other baddies, most fights crumple not after the tank, but the supports get melted by an unaddressed flanker. No matter how beastly the tanks are, they basically all melt 3-5v1 when there's no covering fire or healing.

Also most of the times I'm in a one-sided ultra-loss it's because one of their DPS wraps around and 2-3 shots both supports while the tank and DPS keep pushing forward with zero situational awareness.

Every source of temporary armour/health/shield has been combined under the term overhealth, that works like temporary health, except it gives less ult charge than normal.

Armor straight reduces 30% Damage.

They’re trying to tell you that they’re an rear end in a top hat and you shouldn’t listen to them. Also, they’re also telling you that they were probably the actual worst members of your team.

people saying "diff" is honestly so annoying it and everything that replaces should be aggressively word filtered into the same thing as "ggez" so it becomes meaningless. currently "ggez" just types out a long version of ggez that is even more scathing. yes im suggesting you shouldnt be able to say "difference"

it is true that i have healed 0 as brigitte, because i am always 200m away from my team killing the enemy, and never take damage because i dodge 100% of bullets. my team also doesn't take damage because i ask them politely at round start.

I like Sojourn a lot, if I have to play a damage class I think she's going to be it.

I'm having fun but I'm also sticking to unranked. I don't 100% understand the point of role queue in unranked but yeah sure I'll take the 500 XP bonus since I mostly play Lucio anyway.
