i hope something unexpected happens but right now it seems like dive meta is firmly back in place, with situational junkrat/orisa being mandatory.

winston/dva/genji/junkrat/lucio/ana is pretty damn strong, problem is that solo-queing can be a struggle because a) random's tend to not go in this direction, and b) even if they do, they lack the comms to make it work.

i think i'm just autolocking rat this entire season until they nerf him.

is he that good? haven't seen a good junk at plat rank so far.. haven't played since like s2 or s3 though

what's your tag and # clayton? i remember you from modern warfare days

just picked it up for pc for the half price weekend. My buddy and i decided to try it out. Like it so far. Just playing normal quick plays, not sure what good stats are or not.

Definitely my favorite toon so far is Moira.

As a former Zen main (I've played a couple of times the past couple of months) I think Moira is ass (two quick match sample)

Blizzard pulls a crazy move and pretty much just guaranteed Overwatch league will survive.

If you buy a skin or whatever to support a team... 50% of that revenue goes to the league.

How much are we talking about? Millions? Tens of millions? Maybe 100m?

I'm terrible at this game but the casts of games have gotten to a point where they are quite entertaining.

link? don't see that anywhere.

it seems like a pretty obv route to support an esport, dota2 being the prime example

It's actually old move. People just didn't care much because we still had no idea what kind of items Blizzard was talking about.

Near bottom:
"Overwatch players will be able to support the collective teams via special in-game items, as 50% of the revenues from these items will flow into the shared revenue pool. These arrangements will help ensure that teams have the resources to establish and grow their local Overwatch communities for years to come."

I am guessing the home/away kits (basically) skins that's been showing up recently in tournaments will be available for purchase like we buy baseball/basketball jerseys.

I for one know I will buy any skin that says Seagull. Short of that, I'll settle for any NY skin, even if I have no idea who plays for NY.

My #1 played this season is rat.

Once you get the hang of him he's just so dominant. 4 people can turn a corner to attack you and you legitimately have the advantage with junkrat. I dumpstered a hog, zenyatta, mercy, and mcree who walked around a corner into my spam and before they could kill me they were all dead.

How have they left junkrat so broken for such a long time? Give him two traps/1 mine, and make his tire disappear if he dies while it's deployed and that would be a good start.

Yeh two mines is ridiculous. It should be massive damage or an instant escape from battle, not both.

I’m very close to besting my career high of 3350 SR (back when DVA was way OP). I will be pretty pumped up if I can finally make Masters.

What are some of the highest rankings we have in this thread?

I made Gold, so Trump would be pleased with me.

I've mostly enjoyed just playing Mystery Heroes. Did my qualifiers last season, placed in Gold, then promptly lost a few in a row and dropped to Silver. That was all I played. Haven't finished my placements this season. I like competitive just fine, I just have more fun in the Arcade. I feel like if I put my mind to it, I could hit Plat, MAAAYBE Diamond. No way would I be good enough to get higher than that, and Diamond is pushing the boundaries of optimism already.

Damn, how had I not thought of that? That makes perfect sense for a slight nerf, which I think we can all agree he needs right now.

saw a proposal somewhere for a lower dmg output if the mine is in mid air (unless it's a total dead on whammy) and a falloff radius. seems like a good fix.

im back up to 3100 solo'ing, seems unpossible.

Whoop whoop! Just hit Masters for the first time. Feels good. Told my gf we’re moving to Korea.

3200 but I'm easily the best OW, CS, RL 2p2er. I just don't care about my rank and play with 2p2 scurbs that drag me down

And so humble

How did I ban

I doubt that 3200 is the highest 2p2er. There are some really good gamers on this site. Back when I was into Guitar Hero 3, I thought I was good, but there were people here FCing the toughest songs on expert without any problem. Back when I was active in SC2, there were some active master level players, but that paled in comparison to the GM wannabe pro player (now the Hearthstone player known as Trump).

3200 being the best? I wouldn't be surprised if there were some masters players who just don't post very often itt.

He was meme'ing, guys.

Winter event has started. The new skins are great. The best thing, though, is the new Orisa emote. Just check it out.

Sombra Rime skin is dope. Looking forward to checking out the highlight intros and emotes later.

The Orisa emote is awesome. 3000 gold, though.

Been playing a lot of orisa this season. Might have to shell out.

Orisa seems bad imo. Junkrat is op right now and demolishes the shield. She's not mobile and doesn't deal a lot of damage. Ult seems underwhelming too
