I play Healer and I feel your pain. I join a game 2 sniper, 3 DPS no tank and I'm the only healer. I don't have the skill for solo DPS so I wait I have at least 1 friend with me.

It's funny and a little annoying to deal with that mindset from teammates in game. The brain tries to rationalize and explain the loss but the thought of "they were just better than us" means that the individual thinking that was also to blame. But if it can be explained away by "my team had a shitty comp" then it's no longer that individual's fault but everyone else. I'm sick of having a 2 tank, 2 healer, 2 DPS team where we have all of our bases covered (hitscan, AoE, tempo swing ults, etc) but then once we lose it's always the comps fault. It certainly can be the comp but in competitive, at least at respectable ratings, people genuinely try to adapt and fit meta comps. Most games are 2 balanced comps against one another. Then at lower ratings they're just as likely to have a shitty comp as you, technically slightly more so as you can control your own place in the meta leaving 5 on your team to pick oddly vs all 6 of them. Very often, though, the enemy is just better than you. It can be a hard thing to accept.

Below 2500 I'd guess 90ish% of all wins / losses are trickling. Mei on Hanamura or King's Row isn't all that effective because they charge in alone anyway even without a wall.

Just had the most cringe worthy competitive win on Symettra (defense on Route 66).

Didn't die a single time, kept my teleporter up safely for three full 6 charges, and impeded the enemy from pushing. That didn't stop my team from berating me the entire match for not playing...anything else. Apparently I'm a Jew faggot retard for daring to play Sym.

Just to ice their shit cake, I ended up taking her when it was our turn to go offense and won the match with a series of backdoor teleporters. I swear one guy was so angry he was screaming over voice the whole match as we were winning.

Good times.

Is there a bug with holding down fire?

I hook a roadhog and fire my shotgun right after he is pulled. The roadhog is then able to fire twice before I able to fire again. The entire time from my first shot I was holding down fire. Why would that happen?

Envyus viewed as best team for so long, doesn't win either of the big LAN's, and the losses are to 2 different teams.

I watched that entire tournament. It was pretty good! I was a few matches behind when the finals started so I missed the stream. They finally posted the vods this morning.

Monthly melee

New cloud 9 members are trying out. Ryb Wolf and Mendo are trying out. Ryb subbed in Misfits for the atlanta tourney they won so he's in demand.

Wolf used to be with Northern Gaming Red, one of my faves, but apparently three of them formed a team called Tempo Storm NA without Wolf.

Rumor is that when opening a box you will get a currency that will allow to eventually purchase something. I really hate when they add different currency to the game. I'm currently sitting at 14-15K credits. I could probably spend a bit.

Random Hero Brawl is great, but definitely a lot people using it to 'learn heroes' in a safer environment. I played it non-stop in beta and have dabbled in all characters since (except Symettra 0 seconds played for her ftw). Kind of frustrating to watch people just suck donger with 2/3 of the roster, but hey, at least they're trying to learn.

I never play Hanzo, and he's one of my worst characters. Got him, 17 kill spree ensues, done with Hanzo. I get why people love him, but fuck him. Having a bullshit arrow pre-fired at a corner kill their healer and eliminate their entire push is just sloppy.

Halloween comic with some outfits leaked.




Sombra the new hero kinda leaked. No idea if real but doesn't look fake to me.
