I don't know why you got screwed on that one though if you wiped a team
I'm pretty sure the "team kill" message appears for everyone who provided damage to the team wipe. Overwatch loves to misinform the player. I've heard "but I killed the whole enemy team!" or "but I got a 20 kill streak!" in plenty of instances where those things never actually happened. And let's face it.. those people were intentionally mislead into believing they were performing beyond their actual contribution. That's what Overwatch does.

That's not what a "team kill" is anyway, Blizzard. Who gave them the authority to rewrite the language of the genre? :D

POTG was tweaked the last time they changed the medals. There are more assist POTGs than there used to be. Mercy landing a team revive is pretty much an instant POTG now. The algorithm isn't actually smart enough to know what a good play is :P

The healing medal is stupid. It should be some kind of combined support medal that includes blocking and other support actions. And it needs to stop counting self-healing. That's just dumb.

That is so incredibly retarded. Your team is retarded and so is Blizzard :P

You should not get the gold medal for self-healing. They were so proud of this scorecard too! This was the iteration that removed the "final blow" medal. So they've completely obscured combat performance for several classes in favor of a medal that pretty much defaults to your solo support player.

Unless you're riding the short bus and Roadhog gets it :D

Yeah, my team is like 90% of the time completely mongoloid. Basic ideas like, you know, defending objectives rather than chasing kills, or supporting teammates is wonderfully rare. That's why i pick Roadhog, so i can push the objective forward, or defend it for a long time while my idiot teammatesa re off doing something else. And also i love the hook. It's so much fun ^^

edit: Another great game. 3 seconds objective time is gold medal worthy on my team.

Outside of the first day my experience with match-making has been good. I have a positive WLR that's just north of 50%, which is hard to complain about. I don't expect much out of MMR for the first couple of weeks anyway. They need to do some serious data mining before match making can make more educated matches.

Every once in a while you land on a team that goes immediately south. Like you have three Lucios for some reason.

Where do you see your w/l?

Also yeah sometimes you just end up on a team that plays 2 Tracer's on Defense because of re-re's. No one in casual is good enough to stack

Going back to the Rainbow 6 tick rate thing. I do fully believe Blizzard will address the tick rate if it's a legit problem.
I used this example because Ubi is fairly incompetent in recent years and managed to update there's in a decent turnaround time.

At least you can still have a functional composition with two Tracers. Three Lucios is never good.

Funny thing: This used to be a stat on the stats overview screen. Now you need to go into the statistics tab and do arithmetic.

Yup. They buried your loss stat. I would kill for better round-to-round stats.

You're just adorable.

Custom games already run at a higher tickrate. They'll only respond if people demand it. People aren't really upset about it. People are bending over backwards to assure each other that Blizzard is always right.

I just noticed that you can look at your stats, and browse stats from other players on playoverwatch.com:

https://playoverwatch.com/en-us/career/pc/us/Bogar...

It's not a great site but it's a start. I wonder if this data is available to third parties. It'd be nice if someone else made a great OW stats page. Even games with deep statistics like Battlefield benefit from third party stat sites. I want graphs and shit!

I'm flattered that you played as me for 56 minutes, but your Mei play time (or lack there of) is appalling. I am so irate right now.

We have the same Mei play time because I don't own the game

I don't throw many offensive characters really. Mostly support and defense, even though Mei is kind of a beast
Gotta get more play time in tho in general

I don't play any of the defense characters right now but I play plenty of defense. I don't feel like attackers and defenders are very well defined roles. Not as well defined as say, support or tank anyway. Some of the defense characters even have great mobility and high damage output. There's nothing that stops JunkRat from attacking a point or Pharah from defending one. I guess JunkRat is just supremely good at disrupting a point because spam.

I'll try Mei a little more at some point. She's super good but I tend to go for characters with higher mobility. The ice wall does give you and your team some pretty neat traversal options. And she can neutralize enemy mobility.

She's cool I guess.

I'd be happier with a better stats site. Hopefully someone makes one :)

D.Va is my favorite character. Not saying she's the best.. not even my best. I just have a lot of fun playing her. She's a bully. And she has a great voice over. Is this easy-mode? :D

MatimiO + JackFrags + Xfactor + LvlCap + DesertFox. Some great Mei gameplay here: https://youtu.be/RW0jfP2BSvs

It's nice to see some of the Battlefield tubers enjoying Overwatch. Jack and Xfactor are legitimate tryhards. MatimiO's Mei is nasty.

A very offensive Mei.

I haven't unlocked many skins yet but I think it's silly that people are complaining about the "grind".

I can't play Soldier 76 without feeling dirty, but sometimes I do it anyway.

People are so mad this game is getting scored higher than their recent favorites. So weird how it has to pit people against one another across platforms/genre's

It's pretty funny really. There are people who are ideologically opposed to multiplayer-only video games, and they're irrationally offended by other points of view. It's a very human kind of stupidity that's common in all walks of life. But... this is a video game. And you're talking about people crying about review scores on video game websites. It's not exactly the cream of the crop.

And in this instance their cries ring hollow. The game is going to sell very well.
