The thought of 6 Mei's sends chills down my spine.

The competitive play should be out by the end of the month. It should help a lot getting games where people actually communicate and actually play as a team. If you're not terribad you should outrank those sorts pretty quick. That said it is better with a group. I play with my clan most of the time (not OW specific) Plus you get 20% more xp as a group.
The only thing that I'd worry about is the lack of a "goldilocks" level. Essentially, solo queue tends to be quick, but you usually have no communication and poor team play. Sometimes, you'll get into a game that goes well, but that's either on your team being good, the enemy team being bad, or a combination of the two. However, on the other hand, ranked play tends to attract a certain crowd of try-hard individuals. This is the sort of person that almost always finds something negative to say.
I actually ran into someone that seemed like that last night. They were all bickering after we lost on Hollywood (Attack), and I just said something like, "You know what... we all suck. There was a TP up, and NO ONE went to kill it. THAT is why we lost." They shut up after that.
Well, people are starting to understand their roles, but only the really good flankers so far realize that their #1 priority on attack is to hunt and kill TPs. If you are playing Tracer and the TP isn't dead within a minute tops after the first announcement, you're doing it wrong.They were all bickering after we lost on Hollywood (Attack), and I just said something like, "You know what... we all suck.

Or it means you're playing KotH and having a hilarious time knocking fools off.Elims as Lucio still makes me need to step away for a few mins after the round ends.
Junkrat is up there with Soldier as far as the most versatile role-wise. Besides spam damage he can flank, hunt down flankers (vertical ones too!), bodyguard the backline, and basically do everything but tank and heal.I'm really liking Junkrat. I do well with him. Probably helps that all his abilities are fairly quick cooldowns. love throwing out the remote explosive!

If the other team has a good Mercy and/or Zarya, though, you're just feeding them.Another rule is to just ignore your accuracy on Junkrat. You should be spamming grenades where your enemies may be coming in or where they last were. They may connect, but if not, they usually serve as a bit of area denial.

I'm really glad there isn't a 'feeding' mechanic like LoL. Sucks to not only have a terrible player, but have them actively making the other team more powerful.
There is. But they didn't reset MMR from beta, so that counts too.at the very least some actual hidden ELO working in the background

I really don't believe it. On release I was in a group and we won almost every game for like 8 hours straight, and it didn't put me against good players afterwards or during. I know they claim to have hidden ELO but I just don't buy it.

Anyone here buy any loot boxes? If yes any luckerino?
I really don't care about charging Mercy's ultimate. You may be thinking, "Wait... why!?" Because it already charges to flippin' fast anyway! It's part of the reason why you should avoid using your self-heal on Roadhog when you have a Mercy healer. Mercy can gain the majority of her ultimate charge simply from that 300 health heal on Roadhog.
Also, you'd be surprised at how easy it is to kill people with those random, stray grenades. You also generally do it down certain areas, and they may not even have a healer with them. For example, on Temple of Anubis, if we've been annoyed by heroes coming down the left path, I may focus a bit more there.
Ok, this game is lots of fun. My daughter got it, and she let me try it on her account over the weekend. I've been testing out random characters here and there, and my fav so far is def. D. VA. Versatile and effective.
Anyhow, I was playing as widowmaker, and accidentially launched my grapple into a group of enemies and flung into them, and they died?? Is that right, or was that a glitch or something.
What I find most interesting about this game overall is how everyone is sort of working together pretty well, in most matches I've played, with no voice communication at all. For the most part, people online have been pretty nice to.
