Who are you playing? I honestly gave up even trying to heal teams because it's just impossible if your DPS isn't doing shit, and that was when I started to climb. I just went DPS most of the time and then Mei whenever it was payload just to stall the shit out of it.
Exception being Lucio so that nobody else could take him and then just let him sit on healing aura for the entire game. Speed boost can overcome even shitty teamwork a lot of the time.
I play soldier mostly but these days someone bad autolocks and then refuses to go healer so I try to play Roadhog or Tracer.
I would love to play support like Ana a lot more but people don't do dick with me in comp and cry for heals when they don't poke out.

Lol as soon as I decided to just play Mercy 100% of the time, I keep getting teams without tanks and full of snipers and players that are never within the same radius or even the same map from the look of it, the destiny really wants to go hardcore on me.

That's the punishment of playing mercy.

I wish you the best of luck in your journey to plat, you can do it! I would offer my services but I haven't been able to carry myself to some wins these past few days.

OMG, attacking on Anubis B, twice I single handedly wiped the enemy team just for them to respawn and kill me alone because my team taking pot shots from the steps/archway and wouldn't move to point for some reason.

I would main a crocodile so fast, I'd make a new profile called Overcroc who only ever plays the one character.
I especially like repeatedly informing people that the time for tranquillity has come, you get grouped together and EXPERIENCE.....loneliness on the point
People afraid to push even when the ball is in their court is just the most aggravating thing.

At the start of your video, the reaper saying "my ults ready, whatever" made me laugh. Such a reaper thing to say.

Oh wow. Googled him and that design is something
Congrats!
Thanks, I only got the game less than a month ago and hit Comp a week or so. So I don't know if it's good, but I like it.

Anyone know if theres a tournament today and where to watch it?
Okay, that's it. I played like 20 games where I got thrashed for the majority of them yesterday, usually because by sheer coincidence, I get matched up with a bunch either trolls or people who have no idea how to play the game against coordinated, intelligent players. Nothing is more frustrating than getting murdered for something completely outside your control.
Today was basically the same thing. I'm not being the "it's all my teammates fault" guy, even it looks like it. I'm being a "Why the fuck are you doing this to me, game" guy. I wouldn't mind it if my team of uncoordinated bad picks got matched against other uncoordinated bad picks. Then it'd be an even fight, even if it wasn't meta. But I keep getting that kind of group matched up against people who know hwat they are doing. Consistently. For like 8 matches now. (admittedly, some of them were QP, but even in QP, I cannot escape competent teams hunting me like packwolves)
The game has straight up turned against me. So I quit. I'm looking forward to next season where I can get out of this hell with placement matches, but for now, fuck you overwatch.

There always seems to be some type of tourney going on
You could probably say there is a tourney, arrange colorful chairs around screens at your house, and people would just show up at your door.

Is there anyway to prevent your account from leveling up? I just hit 100 and don't want to get only duplicates, would love to save the easy drops for the next batch of skins :L

They have to 3-1 at least in order to force a tiebreaker situation.
Carbon League should have started 30 minutes ago, or is about to start. It's got top tier casters too.

I am pretty convinced it put good players with shit ones as some sort of balancing out a team.

Sweet, just tuned in! Wonder what's up with this pause.

I feel like with mccree being out for so long that people forgot that you must never. Ever. Give. Mccree. Space. To. Work. With.
My experience has been that's most voice/text chat in comp Plat or lower. Like that the only reason people will use it is to complain about their teammates.
no idea what this is but super interesting to see how off-meta the picks are. will watch!

Man, who can carry me to diamond, again I was 30 points away from getting it but then the trolls came. Currently at 2821
that mccree on the other team kept trying to get potg. like the soldier in your team said, he's useless lol
had a fun and short match with a stack from a game a week ago where they were really nice and coordinated. pretty uneventful but got a lot of juicy EMP's and rein hacks!

Yup, and even if they win 3-2 they will fail to qualify and LW Blue and LH will move on from groups. It's going to be crazy intense if LH get a point on the board at all. If they win CP, which is likely, it's going to a super wild ride.

Complexity is so bad with the ultra dive I don't know why they keep sticking with it.
They changed the way experience works a while ago. Every level is the same amount of experience now and it requires slightly less XP per level.
You can't prevent yourself from leveling up, but there aren't any more "easy levels".
Oh yeah Carbon series started. The team summary for the event is up on Gosu. I guess people are already watching it. IMT is most likely to sweep it.
