Heck, last night, I played Soldier, Lucio, Ana, Reinhardt and Roadhog, and there are some that won't even consider switching. (There was also a minor bit of Tracer when I didn't think I'd get back to the payload in time as Reinhardt.)
They're both quite strong in your bracket... don't worry until you hit Plat (and even there Torb isn't terrible on defense and Bastion can be surprisingly effective).Of course that doesn't always work when you have the "Don't worry, I'm a good Torb/Bastion" guy.
I've actually gotten to the point where I just don't pick anything and tell everyone else to pick what you want and I'll fill in the gap with the greatest need. Seems like it helps me avoid getting frustrated that I never get to play what I want when I want but at least hopefully have a better chance to win. Helps at least promote the team first attitude that matters to some and should hopefully carry into the match when potentially asking others to swap out if things aren't working. Of course that doesn't always work when you have the "Don't worry, I'm a good Torb/Bastion" guy.

nice! mercy elf?
i won 8/10 placement matches. got put exactly where i ended last season. its just totally frustrating.
If you went 1-9 and were placed well below last seasons rank, would that make you happy/mad? I mean, I think its better to use the hundreds of games over the previous season as an indicator of SR than ten placement matches which isnt really a large sample size to accurately rank someone.
Last night I realized I shouldn't get so mad when playing video games. Either I'm going to uninstall OW or just play Mercy all the time since for whatever reason I tend to not mind as much if we lose when I'm playing support. Not sure which would be the better choice. With D3 releasing this homage to D1 it could be a good time to go back to that one for awhile I suppose.
Is this game still worth getting into for new players? Bored with BF1 and curious about this.
yes if you have friends to play with and no if you have none. Most games you play you are vs premades and 9/10 they are better than soloQ players and therefore you will die ALOT and WILL lose ALOT of games and that will cause you to lift up your keyboard and smashing it into your monitor. I played this game since launch and I can confirm its boring as heck now.Is this game still worth getting into for new players? Bored with BF1 and curious about this.
It is fun but you have to play a lot to actually get to a level where you can do competitive games. I never got to that level because I stopped playing for some reason. You also need a good team and ability to communicate effectively for most rounds.Is this game still worth getting into for new players? Bored with BF1 and curious about this.

anyway in all serious for new players its really really fun but you will tend to hunt for freinds or people to play with because soloq is boring imo. you need coordination in this game u lose with no team work.

I originally got it because people from work play it and a few members from this forum also play. But once bf1 came out I played that a lot more.
This is really good input. Sounds like something to get into if you are part of an active gaming clan or have a group of friends play, both of which I don't really see happening with myself. Will just stick with BF1 since I've invested a fair amount of time.
+1 for MoCA, i swear by it in my home setup. no need to bother with wifi bandwidth or dropouts, just configure the old verizon actiontec routers as bridges, and i'm good to go with a LAN cable, streaming full 1080P w/ no buffering.You should get MoCA or ethernet or some other hardwired connection... playing online over wifi is a crapshoot.
I finally hit platinum after grinding in gold and feel that the 2500-2600 level is where i'm pretty comfortable playing at. there are still some trash players out there but it's much better than silver/ low gold. people seem to want to work together more, but there are still some salty players who throw the game.
