uhh what? I was talking about the animation cancelling and I was serious.
I suppose I could have quoted it. Next time I'll try to be more clear as to what post I'm referring to.

Yeah it helps to hit refresh more often. Several posts were made in between my refreshes. I can't keep up sometimes! I'm getting old.

They said in a video they also sort teams by ping. So maybe according to the MMR you are doing as well as those level 20+s in general, and you have the same latency as them, so it chucks you in with them rather than have you wait longer for a game. Also, you may feel like you lose quite a lot, but the system seems geared towards 50% WL ratio, so if you're losing around half your games then the system thinks its working. What is your WL ratio?
There are some objectives that feel real bad when attacking. I think it's intentional that they are skewed in the defender's favor, but damn if shit tons of turrets etc and an entrenched enemy don't suck majorly on an assault, especially that one.

Yup there are some where if you can't take them at a run and don't let the defenders get setup you can't win. You will just get ground out by multi torb/bastion stuff. We had one last night we almost won it but we wiped going after the second capture point after doing the first one rapidly. It gave them time to get reset and we spent the rest of the game trying various ways to feed ourself into that meat grinder. I think it is still partly early days where people are learning the maps and learning the characters enough to find what trumps what in various situations but right now defense is a ton easier than attack in general.
I used think I was bad at this game but after watching Seagull's Genji I realized I was really bad at this game.
My bad if already posted, but its worth watching again:

Yea, I get real excited when I see the enemy team super far up, cuz then we usually just try to jet past them. But as time goes on, I find that they might send a few up, but usually you'll get there and find a Torb/Symmetra/Bastion already encamped and get nailed by a bunch of turrets. And then it's just a total uphill climb from that point.
Or, they get smarter in general, where they might fuck up the first objective, but a smart team will realize the first point is gone and respawn and sit at the second objective and get the defense setup.
Too early to tell, but the extra setup time for defense is daunting atm.

Seagull is just on a level I can not comprehend. His Genji (well every hero) is so goddamn sick. I wish I were half as good as he is.

I'll have to check when I get home, but I think my win ratio is around 33%.
Yep... Widowmaker sniping kids all day gives me a ton of trouble. Normally I would go Reaper amd teleport behind her but he can't get up that high.
On Volskaya B you can actually walk around the back way. Most people don't know it but there is a tiny ledge on the right side by the pit/stairwell. You don't have to be a Reaper/Genji to assault the backline you can just walk there as a Tracer.
