Yeah I mean it sucks if it's 3 min left but whatever. That round was literally 2 sec left

Yea exactly. I just played a game on King's Row on defence where I'd back filled and my team had lost first point and were down a support, I went Bap and ended up out healing and damaging the other support and we held them and won the game, that feels good. Coming in when the game is literally over in 2 seconds is shite.

I love Sigma and Sombra's little chatter. He always sounds so happy to see her, compared to, well, everyone else.

Trying to break out of my Suicide Junkrat main (if I can't kill you headon, I will take 200hp because!) and anyone else weirded out by the noises Kiriko makes (and maybe others) when Winston lasers her?

So she can dump out shrug off damage and run out of healing in 3 seconds? Bap, or Ana is who you want to play to carry as support. Zen and Kiri too if you can hit heads with projectiles.

In gold right now it's very easy to keep your meter up and pump out healing then sneak behind the enemy and finish off people at half health and teleport back to continue healing. I would rather play another support but no one gets in my immortality field or shoots through my amp matrix and they just stand around when I nano boost them. I feel like Moira's raw healing, survivability, and ability to clean up kills will probably be more useful than any other utility until diamond which I'll probably never get to. And most importantly if I play her than that means the other support can't use her to do more damage than healing.

Weekly challenges seemed a lot less painful this time; last one I had to get was role mastery. Those 10 W's come fast if you just play Zarya and Bap lol. Also, double xp has me close to finishing tier 76 on the BP at the moment. Might finish it this weekend. If not, deffo during the Halloween event. [edit] My BP progression verdict as someone who plays ~1-2 hours most days, 2-3 on some is that it's not so bad. But if you're only playing like an hour every other night, yeah, I can see how it'd be a struggle.

moira puts out a ton of healing if you're investing in biotic orb and intelligently positioning to RMB to refill. it's got a surprisingly long range and isn't just something you pop out within breathing distance of a genji

her utility depends a lot on what kind of a tank they have and if there's any targets that have to close distance enough for you to be able to RMB. zarya is loving dreadful to go against since you have to fill her passive if you want to charge LMB, whereas roadhog or orisa are huge tubs of biotic butter you can scoop into whenever you need a refill

Pretty much this. Sigma is totally oblivious to everyone minus Sombra being decent/at least trying to watch out for him. Moira is just annoyed at everyone overall; it is kinda creepy how she asks if Widowmaker feels emotions, and you can hear the fear as the assassin assures her she does not.

I love Moira but someone needs to put her in a corner with a good voiceline.

Tough string of losses today in comp as support queue, second batch ended up going 7-6. Started the night from previous sesssion's 5-2 record, won first match to go 6-2, lost 4 straight and then won the next for 7th win. Still ranked up, Silver 4 to Silver 2. Though I'm wondering if I didn't get those 4 losses and got the 7th win right away if it would've put in me in maybe Gold 5 instead. Or is going from Silver 4 to Gold 5 too big of a jump?

I think I went

Bronze 5
Bronze 1
Silver 5
Silver 1
Gold 5
Gold 4

I was gold before so the system is definitely working for me.

The best thing you can do as a healer is predict who will take damage next and be healing them already.

As soon as you are healing them you should be looking for your next healing target.

Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but if I decide to purchase the battle pass it will work everywhere right? I can purchase it on pc and it'll work on ps4 when I play with friends on there? And the only difference between them is the more expensive option is just more levels unlocked?

I hovered around high plat/diamond in OW1 as a Lucio/Mercy main, but I stopped playing comp after the first 12 seasons. Clearly the game has changed significantly from the time between when I dropped the game and up until now. I think placing me in silver to start my support queue comp run is accurate.

There was a soft MMR reset, and devs said you should expect to place lower than what you might think. How many games did it take you to get into diamond from gold 2?

I'm genuinely a little bummed that they completely removed lootboxes from the game. I absolutely think you should not be able to buy them, but I wish they they had kept the ones you got for free occasionally (and only those) in the game.

They should give you a gold coin every time you auto fill queue. The 100xp for the pass is garbage and not encouraging anyone to fill at all.

this is a pretty accurate assessment of playing support which is why the queue time is the shortest. by far the most stressful role

dps is hilariously the chill out and relax role

This, leveling, and maybe staying as a team.

You get like 5 seconds to click "stay as a team" so usually get a good team, but not enough time to stay as a team.

Leveling doesn't even need to mean anything, it's just nice to see some sort of progress to playing unranked.

Whoops! Looks like i'm actually a few wins away from diamond... think i might get to it tomorrow. I hate how they changed everything and now i'm confused about my rank (even the drat rank badges changed).

44 games won, 39 games lost (41 games won, 31 games lost w/ my main zarya)

But yeah, agree with eveyrone about zarya, i'm playing her 99% of the time. She bullies everyone except winston who is actually somewhat effective against her.
