The goons I play with rolled this one team and one of their players was pretty salty. Called us a noob premade. I mockingly asked them what a premade was and this was their response. Lmao, good lord. How do I report that person?

Dias posted:Gah, I get super salty when I have a streak of horrible matches on solo queue, I should just leave the fuckin' group and cross my fingers. I won a game as Lucio earlier in solo queue where I had 14k healing and the enemy Mercy had 3k healing. I laughed. Gotta give credit to the Tracer on our team though; she was loving up their backline real good.

I just learned from seagull's twitch that with torbjorn you can build a turret on a health pack and it'll eat the health pack to heal itself, lmao.

Anyone else who watched pro competitive OW the past two days, what did you think about new scoring system they used for the tourney? I think I liked it. I also wonder if the single hero rule on KOTH maps is going to become tournament standard.

Countblanc posted:Thank you very much. The one question I have is, does it always go to BO3, and if not, what determines if you go to the third map? Like if team A gets 3 points on maps 1 and 2 and team B gets 2 points on map 1 and 2 for a total of 6 and 4 respectively, does team A win or do they still go to the KotH map? Is KotH only busted out for tiebreakers? Control/KOTH maps are only used for tiebreakers I believe. [edit] Found a more in-depth guide to the new ruleset: http://www.gamepedia.com/news/1100-sign-ups-to-alienwares-monthly-melee-start-today quote:Two maps are guaranteed to be played. If both teams are tied after two payload maps, both teams ban a KOTH map each and the remaining map is played as a tiebreaker. teagone fucked around with this message at 07:56 on May 26, 2016 |

Nehru the Damaja posted:I got POTG for Lucio booping two guys off the cliff at Lijiang Tower - Night Market, but there's so many big crazy 5-fer replays that mine doesn't even feel worth uploading Most I've ever pushed off the map with Lucio was a twofer also (was also POTG). It's a lot harder to get a fiver imo; has to be perfect conditions and whatnot. Still, any Lucio POTG is cool in my book

Spiros posted:Scoreboard helps me determine who is worth queueing with further or kicking out of my group for being bad, I don't like this false equivalency the current system provides In-game awareness should be enough to see how bad someone is doing, e.g., one match I played my team was getting rocked by a Pharah hard and our S76 did gently caress all about it the entire match. Post-game, I right-clicked that player in my 'recently played with' list and set it to avoid him. Heh.

Minrad posted:I noticed today that Hanzo wears only one sleeve of his clothing, and it reminded me of Auron in FFX, especially considering his young master skin wears his outfit normally. A quick google search landed me on this vintage picture of a Samurai archer. No idea if it's accurate or just photoshoped.  Also found some links to stuff about Kyudo, the Japanese martial art of archery. I'm guessing what Hanzo and what the man in the photo are both wearing is garb meant for like meditation and spiritual training. I specifically remember a scene in The Last Samurai where I think the head Samurai guy's son is practicing his archery and is wearing the same thing.

Rocketlex posted:This but for everything. Lucio is the best healer in the game and lots of people don't realize it because he doesn't play like medics they're used to. The team that bunches up around a Lucio is a team that stays alive. I play lots of Lucio and tend to run around a lot to catch up to teammates on the verge of death to make sure they're in my aura range. The rush of feeling like you're in a race against time to save someone's life is so fun. Doesn't always work out, but when it does and my teammates and I are able to escape or eliminate, that owns. Lucio owns.  [edit] Also, breaking it down in sync with Winston and Torb ults is like a freight train of awesome. teagone fucked around with this message at 04:30 on May 28, 2016 |

Harlock posted:Master Overwatch makes me feel good because it says I'm the #112 ranked Mercy. That's because its a system predicated on compiling. Play more = higher rank. Master Overwatch bases the hero specific rank on your total score with that particular hero though. Isn't is possible for a good player to generate a higher hero score in less time played compared to a bad player who is poopsocking the night away using the same hero?

Gort posted:I've only played a few hours but I loved the look of Reinhardt but he appears to be kind of terrible. Takes a long time to kill, but it feels like basically anyone can kill me by shooting me from range or at a height. Hard to judge a character based on a "few hours" but I think general consensus is Reinhardt is a good, true tank. Play more and git gud bruv. I'm terrible with all tank characters.

NoDamage posted:Anyone else think it's kinda weird that the POTG sometimes goes to a player on the losing team? I mean, congrats on getting all those eliminations or whatever, but if ultimately it didn't help your team win the match, what was the point? Lmao, no. POTG and the cards at the end of a match are there to showcase players who did something cool or played well from either team. You know how on SportsCenter they showcase top 10 plays and such? Sometimes those plays are made by someone on the losing team. Doesn't make what they did any less impressive. Same logic applies in yer vidya game ESPORTS shootmans.

Anecdote: I've single handedly contested capture points against 4+ enemies as Lucio by wall riding like a madman, dodging Roadhog hooks and hitscan players failing to track me. Those players were probably bad, but it's fun to juke them with Lucio's insane mobility. My favorite thing to do is probably scaling the wall/ceiling and center spire on the Lijang Tower Control Center map.

Brannock posted:Crossfade toggle feels like utter poo poo to use. It doesn't work at all like Soldier's sprint toggle. Half the time I use it I have to make a second action to actually switch back to healing aura once I let go of Shift, otherwise it stays on speed aura permanently. You don't need to bind a second action. Lucio has a hero specific "Hold to crossfade" option to make his speed boost work like S76's sprint, i.e., the toggle always favors healing mode, and you have to press and hold down shift in order to speed boost. Once you let you go of shift, it switches back to healing automatically. I personally prefer the toggle so I don't have to focus on holding down shift to make sick wall runs, but also because I'm used to it. There's a bunch of other hero specific options you can choose from too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCygSHeoe7Q&t=12s

Papercut posted:I think he was saying that the option is poo poo because it's super buggy. At least that's my experience. Half the time I have to hit shift a couple times to get it to recognize that I've released shift and it should be switching back to heal mode now, thanks. Oh i see. I played a few games with "Hold to crossfade" on and I thought it replicated a sprint button pretty well but it just felt odd since I was already so used to it being a toggle. I've never really had any issues with the toggle though, save for when I just started playing and always forgot to switch it back to healing heh. I also first thought you had to shoot your teammates to heal them after toggling the crossfade when I got into my first beta
