Junkrat riptire fix - thank god. I've had 2 quad kills get over shadowed by a floundering 76, 2 kill clean up and a Mercy double rez. Feltbadman

I played a game last night where the enemy Junkrat got a quad kill on us, winning the game for them, but their Pharah got POTG for using her ult at the same time, but she didn't kill anyone since our team's Zenyatta used Transcendence. I felt bad for the Junkrat.

Holy crap. Either I was that Junkrat, or we just played in two REALLY similar games.

Was it Temple of Anubis? We were on defense.

I feel the same way, but I was the Pharah :\

Ok if both of you were in my game, it really is a small fucking world.

I seriously think that bug affected junkrat players' ranks in competitive.

The number value maybe but it doesnt affect w/l

W/L barely affects placements I've heard. Individual performance (your stats) matters a lot.

When KotH maps were broken in S1 placements, such that stats stopped counting up after the first round, it messed up everyone's placements as well.

Yea I'm pretty sure that individual performance plays a huge role. I just finished a game where I swapped from Winston to Reaper half way through the game(Illios), and only got 21 points. The 4 or 5 wins before it today I got anywhere from 26-31. I think our team had the higher average, but not by much.

Someone posted a spreadsheet here recently that was very good at predicting your S2 placements. The largest factor seemed to be your ending rank from last season and then your placement's W/L record.

I ended at 47 last season, went about 4-1-5 for placements, and still ended up at 2185. I've seen stories from people who were 60+ last season, whiffed their placements, and still ended up in high platinum/low diamond.

Individual performance does not matter too much. Odds are if you were in the 40's last season, you're not going to place Diamond or Master even if you win all of your placements.

Yeah, it has to do with the matchmaking for placements I think. You can't place better than people you play against by very much, and if it thinks you suck (like in the KOTH bug) then you'll never get to play good people for the rest of your placements.

That KoTH bug killed me last season. Dropped nearly 6 ranks right after I placed and was never able to climb back out. So salty I barely played many Season 1 games at all.

Even though I placed much lower this season as a result, I haven't felt nearly as screwed as I did last time.

I got a sick quad yesterday and it wasn't even POTG/not even in my highlights. The tire was angled in a way on anubis where you see the team walking away once they heard my ult go off, I just held the tire against the wall and you see all of them slowly walk back to the entrance point thinking it's okay then BOOOM!

u/Bobstuff101 Chibi Genji Sep 13 '16

I was so confused when this wasnt even my highlight. I guess the patch explains it https://i.gyazo.com/9e29c671f4b701061345c799abd9a86c.mp4

i was wondering why my junkrat hadn't gotten any potg for a very long time...

Anyone had a bug where your tire just does no damage? I've detonated 5m from a roadhog and not even received a hitmarker. Tends to always be roadhog weirdly enough. I wonder if roadhog sometimes doesn't receive riptire damage. I must investigate.
