Her alt fire is broken, it snapshots damage done. So as long as you only use alt fire after reaching 100% energy, you will continue doing the same damage even if your energy goes down completely.

After you reach 100% damage won't go down as long as you keep using only alt fire. Damage affects everyone, the mechanic of losing damage along with energy is just bugged.

Placement matches is cancer, this is a FACT.
You still get queued with shitters but at least these shitters still have 10% of their brain function.
At the end of those 10 matches you'd probably get placed on a rank you don't deserve.
What is even the purpose of placement matches? Why not just let everyone start at rank 1 and let them work they up like they should.

Yes, the stat feedback for koth is broken and only giving a fraction of what it should

Some people are saying this could have skewed people's placements as well if they got a lot of koth maps in their 10 games

Of course this was already reported and acknowledge in the PTR but fuck bugs or just taking koth out of the rotation let's release it broken :)

That's because this ability is supposed to be used for setting up flanks, not to be able to just appear behind someone and shoot them.

It's still pretty bad considering how long it even takes for the fucking animation to happen but yeah

>people are honestly worse in ranked than in qp

I disagree. Level 25 is a good point of entry. It's more than enough time to familiarize yourself with the game. Shitters will be shitters at level 50 too, just slightly less shitty. I'd prefer NOT locking out sub 50 players who come from other fps games and are really good over having a slightly less amount of baddies shitting up the ~40 mmr range (which I am nowhere even close to).

The reason they don't want to use the Stopwatch format is that they don't want only comps that are about pushing as FAST as possible to be viable. They want reaching the goal to be the objective, not how fast you do it, but if there was a better solution for competitive play than Stopwatch people would've already found it.

I'm starting to think Blizzard chose entirely the wrong kind of format for this type of game.

There's simply NO way to make it balanced

yeah well I have a double bachelors in CS and English

You can't just stick "!=" in an English context, because "!=" means "IF these two things are not equal THEN do this thing". The original statement was:

level != skill

This reads "Check if level is equal to skill, and if it isn't, then do _______" with the last part blank. It's an incomplete statement.

What you MEANT to write was:

level ≠ skill

This reads as "level does not equal skill".

You're welcome.

Here's the thing

If you need STOPWATCH in order to balance your "competitive" game, maybe your game just isn't competitively viable.

This game needs purely objective completion, not time based game mode in which both teams have more or less the same objective and the one finishing first wins. That's the only way you can make this game competitively viable, but they will never do it. Payload is, and will always be the main game mode of this game.

Hanzo, either team.

Its like they're in their own little world just trying to get kills, and when you go to engage them, they already have their anime backup plan which is to run up to the nearest rooftop that they're camping next to.

Anybody I see someone playing Hanzo I just imagine them as the autistic kid who tries to show pictures of his eBay katana collection girls from school.

At least Reaper is ironically edgy, but Hanzo is on another level of edginess, its the "too cool for the room" edgy.

After the nerfs he's just a Genji/Tracer killer, and he can't even kill a Genji if you are not right in his face when you throw a flashbang because of the FtH spread.

Forced 50 only exists for placement, retard. It's literally going to shove you up and down ~10 ranks eachap until the system finds an accurate starting point for you.

If you still have a 50% win rate after placement, then you plateaued and aren't getting better. I'm currently at a 70%+ winrate and have risen almost 10 ranks.

nigga you can't take it out of context like that. != is a conditional check, you use it in if statements and while statements. you can't set a variable using !=. so you cant just say "level != skill".

when translating to english you are saying

"if level is not equal to skill"
when you type "level != skill"

you can say level = skill or something, you're saying that a person's level is equal to their skill, but you can't do the same for != because it's not used like that. it is a conditional operator.

It literally doesn't. The second you start talking about gold medals you are admitting you have no idea how to play Overwatch.

Eliminations are not kills. They are plinks. You do one damage to a dying opponent and plink them and you get an elimination. Who the fuck cares who has plinked the post people? Are you actually bragging that you've done at least 30 damage this game?

Okay but you have a gold medal for damage! Holy shit you sure can wail at those ice walls and Rein shields. You get 200 damage for shooting at a Zarya shield, gotta earn that gold medal!

These medals generally go to frontline spammers, who are just shooting wildly at everyone all game. While this is an important role to play, the second you care about "muh gold medals" you're saying "the 200 damage you did to their Mercy right when she was about to rez the team is EXACTLY AS USEFUL as the 200 damage I did to a Reinhardt shield by chucking a grenade at it".

Why would you think that? Are you fucking retarded? Learn to play.
