It's definitely good to get used to a wide array of heroes as the worst thing that can happen is your favorite hero gets countered heavily by the opposing team and you've got nothin' left to play.I still have to figure out who I'm better off with. I've been using phara a lot and also mcree but i haven't fine tuned any other heroes.
Just note that you have to be level 25 or higher to do Competitive Play.I probably am not good enough to do the competitive games but I'll try one. All I usually play is quick play.
Oh boo im almost level 10. I don't see what level has to do with it as it doesn't unlock any special powers or other abilities?Just note that you have to be level 25 or higher to do Competitive Play.
EDIT:
Man, they need to do something about Mercy and Play of the Game. I've played three competitive placement games as Mercy, and I got Play of the Game each time. They said that it's based upon a real-time, behind-the-scenes point system, and they look for spikes in points. So, if a Mercy is doing what she should be doing and letting her team die to a few ultimates and then rezzing, she will go from 0 (doing nothing) to some huge number (from the multi-rez).
EDIT 2:
So, I've been mostly playing Mercy in season 2, and I think I'm at the point where I'm done pushing myself to play support. It seems that my teammates just can't kill anything, and it gets to a point where I can't keep them alive. The games seem to go a lot better when I just pick McCree. One would say that it's "juuuust like sittin' duuuhks!"
I assume they do it to make sure that you've had enough Quick Play experience to learn the mechanics, maps, etc.Oh boo im almost level 10. I don't see what level has to do with it as it doesn't unlock any special powers or other abilities?
Competitive on capture point, payload and hybrid maps use a time bank system. Essentially, as long as you finish your round with time left in the bank, and the scores are the same, you will get to go again. The idea is that they want to avoid ties, as they aren't considered as fun, but that does mean that these maps can go on for quite a while. Also, if you finish with under a minute in your time bank, the game will push your remaining time to one minute and also give the opposing team time equal to how much you got.just played a season 2 comp match where we went three rounds of kings landing before a team won. i'm wondering why we didnt end in a draw after the second completion. both teams captured all the checkpoints
Ouch... what happened in the games? I mostly play in quick play, and I can certainly tell you that I've run into my fair share of bad games. I find that you tend to get players that are either too sheepish (they sit at chokes expecting some magical situation where they can go in), they trick in to their death, or they just can't kill anything. The latter is probably the most frustrating when I'm playing a support. I consider myself a more versatile player as I'll play just about any role. I may not be as good as someone who specializes in a certain role or even a certain hero, but I think I play them fairly well. To give you an idea, I usually get around 45-50% aim on McCree. So, with the fact that I can usually perform well in a DPS role, it makes me cringe a bit when I have to support players that just can't do it well enough.i just played 23 quick play games and lost 22 of them
not very fun![]()
It's quite fun actually. You have to be level 25 or something to play competitive so just get used to playing quick play.Never played this game but thinking about picking it up. Any tips or tricks for a new player to get "up to speed" quickly?
