I'm convinced they do not have their sound on because like, I hear flanking Reapers and Sombras and whatever <i>all the time</i> and manage to turn around from safety. It's so easy!

My experience is often the complete opposite. My team always ignores the objective. Way ahead in kills but somehow lose anyway because they never step on the objective.

I love doing that as Ana, hitting a nice sleep, then frantically pinging the sleeping enemy while my team ignores them completely and then they wake up and we all die

I can't decide if that's better or worse than when you land a clutch sleep on someone who then gets woken up instantly.

Tank meta seems mostly healthy right now, which is nice. You still don't want to run Dva into Zarya and running monkey into anything kinda sucks (plz buff monkey a little jesus) but at least I can play anything.

Also shoutout to the team calling me a thrower for playing hog and hitting 10 hooks in a row but it not mattering because we didn't have a single fight the entire game where they didn't get loving murdered at fight start.

(plz buff hog too what did they do to my boi)

Monkey's corpse should have physics/damage, that way when I leap into a team and bastion has killed me before I landed at least my body can hurt them.

I've been playing a lot of Lifeweaver just to get the challenge points and man, everyone is not wrong about his lack of impact. His mobility gimmicks are fun once you get the rhythm down, and yoinking people to safe highground feels great, but playing any other support just feels so much better.

I think Winston is at that awkward point where he is a little too fragile vs other tanks, but he's almost a monster. He already destroys a lot of comps if the enemy team can't heal through shields or break shields quickly. I wouldn't mind if his alt fire did triple headshots like kiriko.

I love the wallclimb idea, especially if it gave him extra butt drops if he fell from a certain height.

I'm running into the problem as tank where it's clear that the enemy supports are doing all the work but no-one is focusing them, and if I push forward to try to do the job myself, the other tank peels and I die.

That's where you pick one of the dps characters masquerading as a tank and do the job yourself, or alternatively go sit in a corner and have a little cry.

Junker Queen exists so you can go "gently caress this" and run at the supports yourself.

It is, which is why its really fun to charge it on a jump, because you can hit a shot, punch land and punch for like 160 damage.

Then it all gets burst healed by one of the supports and you have to leave because they heal faster than you can do damage.

The way I look at it is that with other supports I find it necessary to track ults. It's important to know when Zen has Transcendence, Ana has Nano, Lucio has Beat, etc.

With Lifeweaver it's like, who cares. The tree comes out and it's very slightly more healing. whatever.

I don't get tons of leavers, but um, that's kinda the point of QP? It's a no-stakes way to just diddle around in the game a bit. The sooner you shift your QP mindset to a per-play basis and not a per-match basis, the happier you will be.

This is starting to happen in comp too. I had a low diamond game on support where an enemy duo (tank+dps) left after things looked bad. I don't blame them because we turned the corner on one of those awful push maps, and it's drat near impossible to win after you get pushed into your spawn. Like why bother playing another 5 minutes of that garbage.

The only ult it really affects is Gravitic Flux, I've had a Lifeweaver time it perfectly so that everyone hit the floor then immediately got boosted almost to full

As a frequent QP leaver, I only need to get dunked on for a few minutes to know whether or not I can expect to get dunked on the rest of the game.

The day Blizz figures out a way to serve up somewhat fair and consistent matches is the day I stop leaving QP matches. I don't mind losing (well, I don't like it) as long as it feels competitive.
