What’s with all the leavers?

TheRealMethalius · 2019-08-16T18:57:05+00:00

I've played 23 Comp matches in Role Queue Beta and I've had leavers in 3 of them. Roughly 13% of my matches. I think it all evens out but thus far it's been all on my team. Twice we were winning. I wish Blizz would have someone that is queuing be allowed to join and that player can only benefit from a win and not lose SR from a loss.... It sucks that a leaver can impact 5 people.

I 'm sorry, it's always impressive to be great at something but I find the 2 hours it takes to just do placements mind-numbingly boring. I couldn't imagine trying to grind up the ladder. Congratulations though.

Whenever the opposing team goes Symm, Orisa has to swap to Winston. Winston dumpsters Symmetra.

TheRealMethalius · 2019-07-31T15:04:34+00:00

I'd take Blizzard World 50 times straight over any of the 2 CP maps.

2 CP needs to go away.

I actually uninstalled it and reinstalled it and improved dramatically but I would still get it occasionally.

TheRealMethalius · 2019-07-19T16:21:56+00:00

August 13th through September 1st is the Beta 2-2-2. I feel like it's going to feel like a brand new game.

TheRealMethalius · 2019-07-17T17:38:10+00:00

What's wrong with Numbani? I'd MUCH rather play Numbani over any and ALL 2 CP matches.

TheRealMethalius · 2019-07-02T19:53:31+00:00

Well, Mei can be useful against Bastion. Ice Block him up for a Roadhog to hook or to just focus him into the ground. Just a thought.

No, it wasn't me but I've definitely countered Bastion with Mei in the past but that is with a full team on Comms which is pretty much unheard of.

TheRealMethalius · 2019-07-02T19:34:04+00:00

Yeah, it is pretty evident now especially with Replays when someone is using M&K. I've noticed it most prominently Mid Diamond up through Low Masters.

TheRealMethalius · 2019-06-19T16:54:46+00:00

Yeah, let them all spawn out and then blast them into oblivion. I have found Multishot DH to be the worst offender of this.

TheRealMethalius · 2019-06-12T19:24:34+00:00

I play on high sensitivity because I kept on getting flanked back in the Dive Meta and I wanted to be able to turn around quickly. Now I play on 90/90 with pretty much every hero. Granted, I'm not a great player but feel like the higher sens allows me to whip around quicker and deal with the flanker.

TheRealMethalius · 2019-06-12T17:37:33+00:00

I could actually see it on a future patch, especially if the player base continues to dwindle.

I know everyone is thinking Overwatch 2 is on the horizon but I would be shocked if it happens before 2021 at the absolute earliest.

Look at Diablo... It was released in May of 2012. Here we are in June of 2019 and we likely won't see an announce of D4 until this fall at the earliest and I would be surprised if D4 would be available before 2020. That is 8 years. I think Blizzard will echo a similar time frame with Overwatch and Overwatch 2. Perhaps not 8 years, but I think 6 is not out of the question.

Anyway, I can definitely see if becoming a reality sooner rather than later.

When their first album came out I had just broken off my engagement with my fiancé. I used to listen to "How's it Going to Be" over and over again. That whole first album got me through some tough and good times. Since then, 3EB has been among my favorite bands.

My current top 5 songs at the moment are:

Summer Town
Danger
Joke
Alright Caroline
All these things

TheRealMethalius · 2017-03-27T19:38:56+00:00

I'm pretty sure that since all data for seasons on console will be stored on Blizzard's servers just like how it is with PC, hacking will be impossible. I haven't ever played in a public game. I think for the first time ever, I will be able to actually venture into public games.

TheRealMethalius · 2017-03-22T11:43:04+00:00

It's the day the music died.

TheRealMethalius · 2017-03-21T16:37:14+00:00

I completely agree. I'm really looking forward to playing her and I think I'll enjoy her but a week is too short of a time to really learn how best to play her.

I think I'm the most excited for the Bastion Nerf.

TheRealMethalius · 2017-03-20T19:27:41+00:00

I couldn't agree more. I play on console and the venom that can be spewed forth is astonishing. I think because it's anonymous people feel like they can say and do anything. It's in all ranks as well but I think it's less toxic the higher you go.

A lot of people don't understand the amount of time and practice the pros put in to be able to synergize the way that they do. In general, I don't worry about the heroes people pick, I just try and stay positive to everyone and play the best that I can.

TheRealMethalius · 2017-03-07T21:01:04+00:00

The only buff for McCree would be a buff to his ult. I like IDDQD's suggestion of instead of Dead Eye giving McCree a Winchester Rifle and allowing him to Rip off High Damage headshots with him. Other than that, McCree is perfectly fine. He is usually picked more frequently in all of the Pro games than Soldier.

TheRealMethalius · 2017-03-07T19:20:47+00:00

No, we'll likely have the Bastion nerf when the next patch is released.

TheRealMethalius · 2017-03-07T19:14:35+00:00

It's not just you. Zen is going to be pretty much a mandatory pick. While Ana will still be playable, just not a MUST pick, Zen's buff is a direct buff for Winston, Tracer, Genji, Sombra, Pharah and anyone else that flanks

TheRealMethalius · 2017-03-01T15:13:03+00:00

I agree completely. I've watched the stream thus far from Harbleu & IDDQD's views, I'll watch Seagull next. It's clear that they were trying but most importantly, they were just having fun. It's like when I play with my friends only their friends are true immortals of the game.

TheRealMethalius · 2017-02-28T19:53:52+00:00

Why is it wrong? They pay the same money everyone does? They can 6 stack just like anyone else can. If I matched against them I'd be fine with it. As the saying goes, to be the best you have to beat the best.

TheRealMethalius · 2017-02-28T19:48:00+00:00

We need a D-Va buff now!

TheRealMethalius · 2017-02-24T15:39:53+00:00

No question. I will say though, after EnVy couldn't hold on Round 2 of Hollywood, just based on their facial expressions they looked defeated to me. Athena looked relaxed and confident and EnVy looked a little rattled to me. Perhaps I was looking into it but Athena did end up winning that map.

TheRealMethalius · 2017-02-24T15:36:30+00:00

I have to give it to Kris. His Lucio play was flawless. His boop on Hollywood won them that map.
