  1. The queue system is AWFUL for competitive Lucio Ball
  2. I'm on a lose streak of 5 with Lucio in each game and I'm losing ~9-15 SR per game because I'm doing really good, but I keep getting awful teams and I'm triggered
  3. Comp resets soon, so I don't think you need to worry too much.

    It's been awhile since I posted A montage so I figured i'd post my most recent. I put quite a bit of time into this one.. It's by far my favorite ^_^


    I hope you like it! <3

    Much Love,
    Fexu

  5. What are you guys thoughts on the new mercy changes?
  6. Valkyrie probably needs some nerfs (I haven't seen whether they've pushed any to the PTR yet, though), but I think it definitely increases the Mercy skillcap. It removes the "skillful gameplay" from hiding behind a rock until your team wipes and then flying in to rez, which I really like. Her new rez will definitely require a lot more thought to use as well. From what I've seen on Reddit, I think I've figured out the best way to teamfight with her though. You want to wait for a high-value teammate to go down (Tank, other healer, important DPS), immediately rez them, then pop your ultimate to refresh your rez cooldown. This way, you'll have 2 rezes immediately during the teamfight, which can definitely turn the fight in your favour.

    On the other hand, the D.va changes have me really concerned. They're doubling her Defense Matrix energy consumption, changing it from 4 seconds with full charge to 2 seconds with full charge. The other changes are nice, but I can't help but feel that they're trying too hard to turn D.va into a DPS. The DM can't even block many of the ults with any duration anymore (Pharah ult is 3s, Reaper is 3s) and the nerf makes it a lot harder to block ults like S:76 (6s duration) and McCree (up to 6s).

  7. Nanoboosted Valkyrie Mercy. Enough said.

    On the other hand, I agree with zYang's statement on D.Va's matrix being too short. She's supposed to be able to fully counter those pharah and reaper ults, but now she can't even do that. I suppose one could charge toward the ulting hero and spam those rockets to try and kill the target...
  8. I lost so many games today so I went Genji and was triggered and then this happened :p

  9. Ive been saving up my money to buy Overwatch and I got got $20 today for baby sitting and I will get 20 more tomorrow so I can finally get it tomorrow~
    Since I don't officially own it yet I haven't played *obviously* but I have watched like 24 hours worth of videos of gameplay on it xD
  10. If you haven't played a shooter before, I suggest you start with Symmetra or Mercy.
  11. On a lot of games that I play I usually stick to a shooter/gunslinger/etc.. whatever you want to call it :p
  12. McCree or Soldier are most viable for what you're describing, give them a shot :)

    And as always, feel free to add me on Battle.net ;)

  13. Are McCree and Soldier fast, cause along with shooting I also like to be quick on my feet? :p
  14. Soldier has a sprint ability that never runs out :)
    On the other hand, McCree is sloooooooooow

  15. If you're up for a challenge, try Tracer or Genji. They're quick and deadly, but you need a good aim.

  16. I have good aim alright ;P
    When I get the game I won't hesitate to try then out~!
  17. just to be clear, you can't just have good flickshot aim with them, you need good tracking. I thought I had great aim because I was really consistent with AWP flicks in CSGO, then I tried playing Tracer.

    ahahahahahah nope

  18. I'll say that from personal experience, Genji is much harder than Tracer. Most importantly, Genji shoots projectiles while Tracer's bullets are hitscan. Secondly, Genji relies on his abilities to get into an engagement and out, so you have to manage them efficiently. Tracer's abilities can be used for getting in and out of engagements as well, but her kit allows for some room of error, as you have those blink charges that can scoot you out pretty quickly; if all else fails, recall is still there.

    Holy moly you should see my tracking, my aim is average but my tracking is ridiculous

  19. I was determined to learn a Hitscan as in season 5 in lots of my games no-one could play one, I tried to practice Mccree and failed so I thought Solider seemed fun played him for a few games and I liked him, the thing is I can NEVER practice him in Qp as you always get 6 people wanting to play dps and then when I do play him in that I can't do anything as my team is always terrible >_< but I am going to persevere and learn Genji and Soldier more.

    Alsoooooooo ;)


    Edit: If things couldn't have gotten worse I got into a game where there was 8 masters and 1 top 500 in my game and I was doing the best in my team....

  20. Well I actually tried to bring my rank up this season and actually played more than 10 games in comp. Instead of bringing it up, I lost every game I played and brought it to an even lower rating. I swear, between leavers, toxic people, and those who have less than stellar game experience, this season was the worst yet for me.
