I think the game's deceiving with it's graphics because there's a lot going on on-screen and the animations are superb. So running hot isn't completely surprising

My old 750 seems to run fine tho :D

On a side note - pretty sure I'm getting MLG level with D.va :D

Also I think I'm learning I really dislike Mei when I'm not the one rolling her. People use her on the worst maps/situations sometimes
She's pretty situational the majority of the time

I will say that for whatever reason, this game makes my gtx 980 ti run HOT. Often see temps as high as 70 C. No other game does this... very strange. Had to create a custom fan profile just for this game lol.

Make sure your render scale isn't being set above 100% automatically. Unless you're into that.

Should probably start stat tracking :P

Really? What is Mei bad at? She's pretty flexible. I feel like people over use D.Va as a "tank" though. She's about the worst tank at holding down a choke-point or even a payload. More about ganking and engagement.

Yeah D.Va is pretty offensive. I like pushing the attack and being a nuisance from behind :)

Also my stats on MasterOW are pretty great! Other than Zenyatta and Mercy I have positive k/d

Although my win/loss while at 51% or so, isn't great per character at all

I feel like she's pretty bad out in the open in general.
She's great on choke points of course

"KDR" on Master Overwatch is not "KDR" in any other shooter. It's showing your elimination:death ratio. Your real "KDR" as it would be calculated in any other game is your final blow:death ratio. That's what you should be looking at if you're trying to evaluate your combat performance.

Like everything in OW... KDR is being exaggerated in stats. It's a feel good game.

"Eliminations" aren't kills. It's a combined statistic that includes kills and assists.

Those are the values you really want to look at if you're evaluating combat performance.

The averages frame is a little easier to read. If we had round-to-round statistics you could graph performance over time, which would be even more useful. It would be much easier to measure improvement (or decline) with round-to-round stats. But that's just not a priority for Blizzard. They'd rather shovel misinformation about your performance at you than give you real data :)

I think it has a negative impact on the game as a whole. I believe that a poor flow of information contributes to poor decision making, and contributes to bad players continually making bad plays. If people realized how much dying matters, maybe they'd trickle into combat one-by-one a little less frequently.

It also just removes an incentive for improvement.

yeah I do think some of the team reliant structure doesn't really succeed. I don't know if competitive will really change that, but we'll see
Inherently people ignore the efforts to make you reliant on one another and prefer to dps solo which gets tiring

I mostly speak on pubs, not when playing with friends

Just having better MMR in quick play changes that a little. And yeah people should understand that not every attacker shares the same role. Tracer and Genji are flankers. Don't stack all flankers on payload. Or it's like the dudes who are like oh we have a Widow... so I'll play Hanzo! Meh!

I wonder if comp will be any different from the beta when it finally shows up.

So anyways - the start of this video generally I don't understand the complaints.
Assault is kinda fast I guess?

I DO really like the idea of cool loot for people who rank high enough in comp play. I think that'll be awesome

Sounds like it's changed quite a bit. I don't really understand why they need to toss tiers. I'm not against a public skill rating, but I don't understand why they're not doing both. That makes it feel like more of a leaderboard, and it makes it more about winning. Especially since MMR rank should heavily weigh individual performance regardless of a loss. They could have made it so you could lose a tier. Lots of other games do it.

It still sounds experimental. I am looking forward to it. I might need to start using MW's LFG feature when it drops. We play in groups quite a bit but we're not really all at the same skill level nor do we all have the same level of commitment. We may need to find a few ringers :D

Doing away with tiers is a shit idea. I like getting promoted/demoted into new tiers of "skill". Its fun. This is a dumb idea IMO. Having a neato speedo little gold badge next to my name makes me feel good. Numbers dont.

People really need to learn how to play defense on payload. Or offense. Too many of my games seem to have at least 3 teammates fighting away from the capture radius. Defenders need to constantly contest the point. You can't let them push. That means not standing 100 yards away and pelting grenades/rockets/whatever at the point too. And attackers are content to run around and let one or two guys push, despite the speed buff the payload gets when you stack the point.

Movin' with the payload people. Lucio should not be leading the attack.

I had some awesome games tonight. I'm so skeptical of the people who say they're constantly having one sided match ups, because I hear that from my friends when I know for a fact that many of our games are very close. There's something about online games that really frustrates some people. Not that I'm immune to frustration.

This guy does pretty good tips and tricks videos on different heroes in Overwatch. Videos are short (like 2-3 minutes) and consice and usually reveals useful stuff about them that I was not aware of.

I don't know if it's possible with time zones or regions - but would we ever run a GSY OW group? :D

Personally I'm in EST USA

I'm looking forward to better communication in this game overall. Seems like people aren't very vocal yet, but hopefully with time people talk more with one another.
Having some issues with a few of my friends being a bit too serious playing in these pubs. I hope they don't bail on the game but they despair and give each other a hard time too often.

People are still complaining about a "forced 50% win rate" that doesn't exist. Those people are sore losers and don't actually like competition. They just want to pub-stomp. Strong MMR is proving that they're not the "MLG level" players they thought they were, and they can't handle it. It's straight up hot conspiracy theory garbage.

A lot of the complaining about teams and toxic players is just coming from... toxic players. I'm pretty good at Battlefield but I don't seek out stacked teams, I don't quit games in progress, and I don't switch to the winning team. I weigh quit percentage heavily when I look at Battlefield stats. My win rate in that game is 60%. Unless you're seeking out unfair scenarios, a 50%-60% win rate seems pretty reasonable.

Also: they should have a quit percentage stat. Seems important.

I thought about creating a Gamersyde discord server, but I'm not sure there's enough of us or enough camaraderie between us for it to actually see much use. There are geography issues too. On the other hand, I play with Rayy, Isomac, and Uruk pretty frequently and we're all worlds apart.

I hear people talk in solo queue sometimes. Remember that you need to switch coms if you're grouped. There's a group channel and a team channel. They don't interact with one another. They should have made it so you can still hear team coms even if you're in the group channel.

This may be another match-making issue that people have. Mixed skill groups. Match making can be hard on friends who aren't all on the same level. It's bound to frustrate users on both ends of the skill spectrum. People keep saying that you need to be in a pre-made group to win... but my experience in solo queue is sometimes less frustrating than it is with friends :D

And that's impossible. Gamers can't give each other a hard time without a scoreboard! :P

yeah I agree - sometimes on my own or just with one friend of time it simplifies things and can often turn out better.
We haven't really 'gelled' yet otherwise
