I would say reinhardt is probably the best for carrying a team.

He is really fun to play and crushing with him means single handedly you can win the game.

I feel like I'm better than that, but who doesn't? The moral to the story is, solo queue Mercy is a bad idea.
I got 46 and dropped to 45 last night. I'm pretty demoralized. I got bitched out last night when I was playing lucio by some premade team, I wasn't playing bad though. I'm done with support, it's totally thankless and you're a prime target for blame from salty ****ers when the game gets lost.

I can't even imagine solo mercy. Solo Lucio is painful enough and he's pretty much built for solo q'ing. She needs teammates that are aware of what boost they're getting and a fair amount of protection.

Then for your 3rd, play Lucio 1/10, Zarya 1/10, your new one 8/10.

I really need to do this because I basically play mercy 95% of the time as nobody picks healer.
Yea the problem is I've gotten so used to lucio's boop cannon that other guns fire kinda weird now. I guess the most compareable one is pharah's rocket launcher but I suck with her now even, and I used to do 50 kill games with her on the reg. I guess I'll do some quick play today. I'm really bummed out about how much I suck, in the beginning I feel like I was making great progress then something just happened.

Another problem I have is I reflexively mash Q every time I hear "LET THE DRAGON CONSUME YOU" or "HAMMER DOWN" even when I'm not lucio.

I'll try practicing reinhardt but I'm so ****ing terrible with him. I agree he can carry a team even without support.

At first I really did not enjoy him. Some maps like Hanamura attack B he feels like he should be better than what I get out of him. But I find playing him very aggressively is a good strat. If you can use his E and hit multiple targets, your ult charges VERY quickly. The E also goes through other Reindhart shields too. He is growing on me.

I went 1-6 then finished with three wins to get to 4-6 in my placements. Got rating 46. Quickly we won some matches and I climbed to 49.

Does anyone know if the ranking might be bugged at all?
I keep losing a lot more for losses than I gain for wins, despite evenly ranked games and pretty consistently being 1 of the best on the team.

The pics show how much I gained for 2 wins in a row getting 2+ silver medals.
and then how much I lost in a game I lost while getting 3 golds, all in even games.





and then the next even game

Ok thanks. Seems I always win koth too.

I've also been doing solo q with lucio and I agree with all of this. The one game I played mercy because I was told to go Mercy I got wrecked by a tracer that no one on my team could kill. I'm pretty sure the best way to rank up is play damage and counter pick the enemy teams best player. That said I will probably only play ranked with my friends when we can get at least a 4 stack.

They also need to buff zenyatta he is my fav char to play right now.

I love playing Reinhardt now. His dps is really high and can be really hard to kill with any kind of support at all

Zen deals a lot of damage.

Zen is actually really strong. His only weakness is his squishiness

Which is a pretty massive weakness.

Feeling done with league ( until dynamic queue ****s off or voice chat gets implemented ), so I picked this up, seems super easy so far. Although I have a brazillion hours in different shooters so its fairly simple to pickup.

i hope they are snap banning leavers

it says you can leave without penalty but you still lose MMR

today ive had a lot of great games... 2 leavers (loss) + 1 win which counted a loss for some reason i cant understand

coo

my life is hell guys what will i ever do to recover

They cant be doing much to occasional leavers, i realised yesterday you had to wait until you could safely leave if one of your team left, previously I had misread the announcement and thought I could leave straight away, must have left at least 5 games early because of that.


I just had a game where I got 4 solo kills with my pharah ult, a reaper killed 5 of us with his ult, and potm? me as mercy healing someone and rezzing 1 person, that was almost embarrassing.
