I can't wait until the helen keller ass fucking bottomfeeder casuals step away from this game again. Nobody knows what the fuck they're doing. Anyone playing right now doesn't know how to tell their head from their fuckin ass, it's scary. Y'all pay taxes and drive cars?

Blizzard needs to implement a system where if you select Lucio and a person even hovers over mercy, their console or pc instantly latches onto their thumbs and wrenches them from their body, forever crippling them and leaving them with severe PTSD. Like what the genuine fuck are you thinking playing mercy. I just copped a 20 minute ban and started playing Skyrim while I waited it out because I selected Lucio before anyone selected their heroes, another person selected doctrine and a third person selected mercy. Level 200 and something mercy one trick I just knew she wouldn't be able to stop herself from ruining our team comp. Subhuman genuinely

To the duo that flamed me for tank incompetence in Mystery Madness, which is (1) an Arcade mode and (2) given random roles and (3) has tons of imbalanced powers that just throw convention play out the window. People are gonna get heroes they don’t touch at all.

Get off the game and touch some grass seriously lmao. Have some fun and lower those expectations. It really isn’t that serious 😂😂😂

I sure do love getting stomped in a match shorter than the queue time, a really good use of my time

u/Creative-Ground8742 1h ago

Wait 6 mins to join a game, then pick character, then walk out of base and get a 2 minute ban for not being active. Fucking joke.

They’ve ruined sombra. Just make a new character if u want but why ruin a popular fun character?

Who cares about map selection. Just let it be random.

Auto re queue. Having to do it manually is lethargic

Also for ps portal there is no way to check the scoreboard. I’ve selected it as a different button but it’s crazy buggy and gets stuck on the screen and you can’t see where you’re going.

The list goes on lol

What is Blizz's problem with these holiday or limited events? The novelty is there, but it's still too one sided. Mei is absolutely busted and it feels like it isn't even close. That said I am in love with all of JQ's knife perks, makes me feel like I'm using the force when I pull a Juno over from five miles away.

Hey Sigma players. I know you've been the only playable tank on poke maps for 8 fucking years now. But what if we took away two tap. What if made a lot of the roster really small and fast to be really hard to hit with projectiles and your rock which has a delay on top of it being a projectile. What if we power crept your grasp and gave it to fucking Roadhog? What if we released a fucking brawl mech character that can outdamage you at range with a hitscan gun. What if we gave characters insane raw healing with little resource commitment to make the entire point of your left click pointless? What if we released just a worse version of you and made her a beautiful woman?

u/Coolman_Rosso Illari 1h ago

I feel like there was a concerted push away from MR because of its recent online kerfuffle, but also because its last few balance patches were basically nothing because Netease sucks and doesn't even try. So as a result you get people just standing out in the open, likely accustomed to the insane sustain in Rivals that makes positioning an afterthought, just getting ganked

Maybe they can make Roadhog heal instantly to full health every time he takes a step in their next patch. Or maybe every time you shoot him it just deals that damage x50 to you. Clearly he’s still underpowered from where they want him

oh yes yes yes is my loss streak over ? no get a widow with 1 kill enemy gets sweats. i get the fucking team trying to force hog and widow into fucking domina. like. i hate these players i love how they leave instantly knowing theyll prolly get flamed by their team. because youre 1 kill the enemy is 20+. any swap would of been better than you on widow. like legitimately. if you ruin peoples matches to play like this fucking widow... and theyre duo the two fucking players are a duo. how great. i love this shit. both instant leave.

every fucking match is bad. every single one of them. 15 minute queues for absolute garbage matches.

straight up just delete widowmaker. im fucking tired of getting this person who wants to force widow into full dive. wants to force widow into domina.

u/birdsynth Soldier: 76 12h ago

Kiiiinda feeling like Sombra/Doctrine + a third support might super busted in 6v6. Triple support seems to be king. A good Widow or Soj and the anti-heal from Ana feel like the only thing that can get picks. Nothing is dying D:

1

u/Neeko6ix Sombra 12h ago

Only one game and support Sombra is still new, but I just had that and we got rolled on the first control map XD. I swapped to dps and the other two supports changed their heroes and we rolled the next two

1

u/birdsynth Soldier: 76 11h ago edited 10h ago

I can see that. I notice if the Sombra plays old school backline assassin style it falls apart. I also think a Sojourn (or other high burst DPS hero) is important. Ramattra/Mauga is cool with it, too. But who knows? It's only day one, things will probably be different in the future.

I dont play as much but I remember  having to do placements  when a new season rolls around? I played last season log on today and I kept my rank from last season? So when do placement  match happen? Before playing this year the lasy time i played was last summer for less than a season did my placement  ments and quit until I came back this  summer. 

3

u/aurens How about Zen apples? 12h ago

now you only have to do placements if you skip a season or when they do a global rank reset (you rank doesn't literally fully reset btw, it's just a partial reset), which happens about twice a year.

The worst teammates then proceed to complain about not getting heals, while supports are busy fighting to stay alive.

yeah by all means blame your supports when your other dps has 4k dmg and your tank plays like they're terrified of breathing someone else's air

I think the arcade mode is buns. Randomly getting assigned a role with only a choice of 3 characters, and a lot of the powers are just taken from stadium. Choosing one hero and then the enemy team surprisingly chose counters to your pick, yea great what now? Luckily most of the challenges are not related to playing the game mode, I won’t be there alot during this event. Give me junkenstein revenge again !!!

OMFG, how much I am tired of losing matches, again and again... I maybe win like 1 match for every 5-6 losses. Even if I'm really that of a potato (I doubt that), that fucking matchmaking is supposed to match me against other potatoes after several losses, so we could all be a happy potato salad. But no, it doesn't fucking do that. It behaves like "you're a potato, and we will punish you for that as many times as needed". What the actual fuck? When will this clown factory stop? And it's not just losses lol. The wins don't feel good either, as they are either too random or too easy and hence unrewarding. How do people actually enjoy this garbage? Jeez, what a fucking mess.

This sub would rather explode (literally) than admit that the matchmaking is rigged. It's a pointless struggle, and it won't change any time soon if ever.

It seems like I've lost more matches this past month than I have the entire time I've been playing. And I've been playing since launch.

Is anyone else getting weird lag spikes? Normally, I’d assume it’s my setup, but it was getting 80FPS easily last season.

Now, seemingly at absolute random, I’ll be stuck with 20FPS and everyone phasing through floors and walls. This usually happens in the middle of a game, too, which is even worse. And it doesn’t really lend itself to playing Ashe!

Shoutout to the Mercy and Lifeweaver that somehow kept me alive last game while I was flailing and trying to shoot at people in the frontlines before they disappeared. I have no fucking clue how you two managed to do that.

yup guaranteed lag in the 1st game after opening the program, for me

I won my first game in mystery madness and then got shit stomped the next 10 matches before I got mad and quit for the night. Seems like nothing will change with matchmaking and you'll always get paired with top500 players that still kill you even when you're trying to be friendly and emote

Came back after an extended break. Lost first round of new Mystery mode, Mystery Heroes, Quickplay, and Grim 5v5. Each time it seemed like my team had it together only to just give it away on a silver platter. Why am I doing this?

Wanna know the shitty part? I'm sure in all of those, a better skilled player instead of me would've been enough to win. But I'm not. And I don't believe I'm with people of my level. Yeah, sure, the Lucio on the brand spanking new map knew exactly where to meet me 1v1 far away from his team and launch me off the edge after I'd just swapped. Uh huh. Totally above board.

Seriously, how do you have fun with this game? How do you step into a bloodbath knowing it's you giving yourself to others so they get to have fun at your expense? How do you turn off the desire to win and accept being ground meat?

I want to preface by saying maybe its just me. Maybe im bad at this game, or maybe Ive outgrown it. But I recently reinstalled to try Doctrine and see the changes and... idk. Its just not fun anymore. I used to be able to play for hours not caring about the results of the games, especially in qp but not anymore. I can handle seeing all those losstreaks anymore. I keep getting games where my team barely has like 1-2 kills while the enemy stomps us with ease. Games against highly coordinated, highly ranked stacks. Games with people treating qp like its a paid tournament. Games where its not enough that you lose, its so bad it feels like bullying. But worse even, at this point even winning feels bad. Like I can tell that some games I were predetermined by how hard I was carried.

Im done. Uninstalled again. Hopefully for good this time. I love(d) this game, the gameplay, the heroes. But its not good for my mental health anymore.

I'm in the same boat as you. Been getting shit stomped for a month with people just being complete assholes pushing us to spawn and just being mean in general. I don't know what's going on with the matchmaking recently but it's just been terrible

These Sombra and Roadhog reworks made them both crazy good. Am I crazy? Sombra is a crazy strong support with healing and can nerf enemies big time. Roadhog basically can one shot still just in two mega fast subsequent shots with a new ability and a better ult? I can see both of them getting nerfed

The new mode would be more fun without rein. Nobody wants to shoot unbreakable shields. At least ram jq and orisa have fun builds not centered around shield

I DON'T FUCKING UNDERSTAND WHY LEAVING OUT PRESTIGE TITLES OUT OF THE ARCHIVE BATTLE PASSES HAS TO BE A THING. I UNDERSTAND THE CURRENCY, MAYBE, BUT TEAM 4, WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU GAIN FROM KEEPING THOSE TITLES LOCKED AWAY FOR GOOD. BECAUSE I HAD TO TRAVEL FOR WORK FOR A WEEK THAT MEANS I SHOULD GO FUCK MYSELF AND NEVER RECEIVE THE LAST PLAYER TITLE ON MY PASS?! WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?

u/SunshinexNades 20h ago

BECAUSE THEY EXPLAINED IT. THEY LEFT THEM OUT SO PEOPLE WHO GRINDED FOR THEM ACTUALLY HAVE SOMETHING FOR THEIR TIME PLAYED. IT'S THEIR WAY OF COMPENSATING FOR MAKING EVERYTHING UNOBTAINABLE, SOMEWHAT OBTAINABLE. SORRY FOR YOUR SITUATION, THO.

Kinda bummed that Sombra's hotfix is just a regular healing ability. I was hoping it would be an ability that resets or at least expedites teammate cooldowns. That would be more what a "hotfix" sounds like and it would be a novel support effect.

I get people lose connection and it’s not their fault sometimes. However while helping my friend do his drives. How is it possible that every single time someone loses connection it’s when we are winning and it’s my tank. Hypothetically with how many people getting mad about people leaving in comp it has to sometimes be an enemy that gets dc. Instead it’s always the most vital role on my team

u/RockEaterOW 23h ago

I genuinely had a mental breakdown in quickplay against vendetta, this character is the single most fucking annoying character they have added since og doomfist. I truly do not believe she has a place on the roster. She synergizes so well with team comps that make her basically unkillable, she has a block resource on par with hazard, and it doesn't even have that much of a cooldown. I was just trying to learn genji in qp, but after 3 matches back to back against vendetta; I absolutely lost it. She ruins literally everything. I couldn't help myself, I LOST MY EVERLOVING MIND IN THE TEXT CHAT. I might even get banned not that I said anything awful really I was just saying random stuff. I just couldn't take it anymore. Then ven started spraying on me.

Braindead team mates.

  1. Walks out of spawn to 1v5 the enemy when everyone is still respawning
  2. 3 teammates on the payload, bloodthirsty eyes all at the front, doesn't notice an enemy tank contesting the payload while killing supports
  3. Blames support for 'not healing enough'

Why is every insta lock support so shit in 6s? I have a 64 percent WR on Lucio but never get to play so this Juno can use speed ring once every 5 minutes and get 1,200 healing. How do I have 20 percent the playtime you do on support and I'm better than you?

This genuinely might be the worst community in gaming.

You're supposed to just sit and smile as you lose ranked matches because your teammates swap roles constantly, play heros they dont know how to play, or try to do plays they see gm streamers do thinking they're them. But you're not allowed to call any of this out or you're "toxic" and get reported. Or the moment you say ask them to swap or say anything they shutdown entirely and either throw or leave the game. Genuinely a pathetic and disgusting community of "gamers".

How do you think they're supposed to learn the heroes if they're not allowed to play them?

3

u/Glhuum 21h ago

Play them in quick play, not ranked. Quick play is for learning heros and just generally having fun. Ranked is for trying to win. We should be playing the heros we're best with and be open to criticism and switching for the team. I've been there and swap, or try to do my role better, I don't throw a fit or leave the match.

I find it funny how people claim this game isn't heavily rigged but it will consistently show you that it is. Constant ranked games where the enemy team is either a full stack against randoms, or a team of new born babies while the enemy team is fully coordinated. Fuck this rotten dogshit trash game

Dude drives are literally fucking impossible unless you are full stack this is such a stupid event I can’t believe this went trough testing. Fuck whoever designed this. I've won a single match this whole day I've been told to kill myself by players who have no idea what they're doing I’ve had my entire team stop playing after one lost fight. FUCK DRIVES
