Also played the old classic game-mode infection. Good times. It is basically a Deathmatch with fluid teams. All players with same characters are allied. When you get a kill they get turned to same character as character as you. If you get killed, you get turned. Round ends when everyone is same character and that character gets banned from future rounds. Really addictive mode. Code for the Eichenwald version is: Q365Q Code for with Multiple maps: SMMGK  baps are taking over. Issaries fucked around with this message at 18:52 on Oct 17, 2022 |

Bronze is quite laughably unbalanced at the moment - I assume a bunch of players have been chucked in there before the balance patch and haven’t played enough games to be re-ranked to Uber duber platinum : had a match where my entire team had literally 4 kills combined, at the end after two rounds, with the enemy team around 60+. The next game I got 50 kills with widowmaker alone and the enemy team had less than 20 altogether. All seems a bit unfair ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

played with a Zarya on New Queen Street who stared straight at a stationary d.va ult in one of the alleyways and died to it, with cover a foot on either side 'zarya why'd you die to that ult?" "because it killed me" dogs learn faster!

It was so confusing. The rest of the team was patiently wait for her to respawn and take the initiative. Luckily this was QP and I got a work call.

My competitive experience so far: lose 10 support matches in a row, no lie. Like 7-8 total stomps. Then the next 3 I become the stomper. And then it drops me in damage and we come close to winning which, shouldn't happen since I suck. We might have actually won though had I switched to some hitscan against the Phara sooner. Then it drops me in tank and I win and much like Albert Einstein in the classroom, I get rounds of applause from all my teammates on my excellent skill of standing in front of the payload and holding down L2 until it's out, then R2 to shoot stuff with d.va, occasionally shooting rockets, then switching to Rein on defense when the opponent was managing to shoot us a lot and just holding R2 and doing nothing else. Real heady stuff, I'm a master at the tank game. I half wonder if the account merge is to be blamed because I was gold ranked on PC but just outright refused to play anything but Lucio and Mercy and high frame rate monitor placebo effect of making me concentrate on my aim more. I was a Bronze/Silver borderline player before on console which is where I'm playing now, which is probably more accurate. Maybe the 'rithim believes in its PC rankings first. teagone posted:Play Bap instead. He's awesome. I've been playing him and I think I like a lot about him but 1) I seem to be using the immortality field wrong. The only person I ever am able to save with it is myself. 2) Is there some sort of CC or escape I'm missing? Actually looks like this is being discussed later in the thread anyway.

You can save people with the field but it doesn't have much health and better players will destroy it very quickly.

The issue we are discussing is not killing the other tank, it is beating the other tank (all other things being equal). This mostly amounts to being able to hold space and pressure the other team to enable your team.

I honestly didnt understand why people bothered switching the kiriko heal toggle off for a while and then tried it out and my healing numbers on her shot up a huge amount. Its great because you can just top up chipped dps and then spray your tank. I dunno if shes actually a top tier support if you cant reliably hit your damage shots but im getting a feel for it and also the range on her teleport and im starting to feel incredibly annoying for the other team in qp.

Kiriko damage feels so bad without headshots. I suspect you couldn't even down an entire Winston or Zarya bubble before they expire naturally. Maybe the Zarya bubble but you shouldn't be shooting it anyway. Isn't her hps like 70 or something? That's not too bad. She's definitely fun to play if you can get in a situation that baits the team cooldowns and port away right before they get there.

Get rid of the dps passive, especially since the reasoning was “they don’t have anything”. And bring back cowboys stun.

cowboy stun was really stupid and unfun from both sides glad they took it out they might have to tweak genji back a bit now though that a lot of the stun bullshit is out of the game genji like "recently" in ow1 got cancellable deflect and hugely buffed attack speed to deal with a really defensive pocket meta comedyblissoption fucked around with this message at 23:07 on Oct 17, 2022 |

My DPS queue matches ended up going 2 wins, 2 losses, then 5 wins in a row to get placed. I think it's pretty accurate placing now; my DPS is really bad, and I wanted to have my fun with Sombra before they probably nerf her, lol.

How do I get good at Junker Queen? I know people don't think too highly of her in the meta (I think she has appeared at the bottom of every list I've seen) but I think her kit is pretty fun but I'm just bad at all of it.

I haven't played her super extensively but it seems like the most important thing is landing her knife, like Roadhog is reliant on hooks. A direct hit with the knife will let you yank the target towards you with the recall which combos well into the axe swing. She gets health regen for getting bleeds on people and it stacks up. A person can have up to 3 different bleeds on them at a time: knife (either thrown or quick melee), axe, and ultimate. Tagging multiple people with bleeds can give a lot of regen. Basically she mostly just feels like a ton of work to function at all compared to any other tank.

You don't always have to direct hit with the knife either. It will wound anyone it passes through when you call it back from the ground or wall. You can get some real distance on it so it's great for choke points and standoffs when you don't have a direct target you want to hit or happen to miss.

Yeah, knife still wounds regardless but you don't get the yoink without a direct hit which I think is where most of her potential kill power is.

Emongg was doin some funny JQ tech where he'd throw her knife in the ground before using her ult, ult into as many enemies a possible, and call back the knife to try and have Gracie hit the enemies on the way back for more wound application. He was only doing that to try and get the 7 simultaneous wound cheevo, but I think it's neat and applicable tech lol.Jimbot posted:How do I get good at Junker Queen? I know people don't think too highly of her in the meta (I think she has appeared at the bottom of every list I've seen) but I think her kit is pretty fun but I'm just bad at all of it. I've got ~9ish hours of JQ comp playtime, with a 46% winrate, so lol at any advice from me. I did my tank placements exclusively with her. Honestly, most the time whenever I'm playing JQ I feel like I'm playing total mayhem and just hope for the best lmao. Her melee is real good though, so always be hitting with that poo poo for wound application. Combo with the knife throw; if you land it and are able to yank the enemy toward you, hit em again with melee + shotgun, or bring out carnage. Fatty axe swings are fun. Carnage cleaves, so if you see an opportunity to hit multiple enemies at once, swing that poo poo. You're probably supposed to use her shout to push the advantage or initiate, but I tend to favor using it defensively, either to save teammates or disengage from fights. teagone fucked around with this message at 02:09 on Oct 18, 2022 |

junker queen also suffers from not really having a good "I can't die" ability like every other tank in the game (some of which get multiple) because they're trying to tie it to deathball team synergy so it's comparatively terrible outside of that

you could probably give her axe swing frontal damage reduction if you wanted to give her a real "ah gently caress" button that still preserved her relative fragility i think her big problem in ranked is ultimately going to be that, if you're not landing your RMB and E for the bleed stacks and passive healing, you're a lovely roadhog with a speed boost, and it's hard for the rest of your team to play around that. at least roadhog is this big dumb target with like 1k+ EHP, whereas JQ has 75%~ of his health and a slightly wider DPS hitbox that no one's gonna have trouble aiming past
