[QUOTE=Zeos;50456328]I don't know what the fuck happened but now the game has the most unstable connections ever, I'm constantly getting major rubber banding despite having a good connection[/QUOTE]
It's totally fine for me.

3 shotting sorry, those discord headshots are lethal
[QUOTE=MissingGlitch;50456316]Seems like you can't get PoTG as Lucio unless you push several people off a cliff at once.[/QUOTE]
This. I have like 5-6 hrs on Lucio and I have like five POTGs when it's bounce time and I knock folks off cliffs.
[QUOTE=Vodkavia;50456066]Comp is just so revealing about the game's flaws, ultimately a hero isn't worth playing if it isn't the best at 1. Dealing lots of damage 2. Negating lots of damage. Hence widow maker every game and 1-2 Mcree.
Dota 2 doesn't have this problem because you can't have more than one of any hero on either team and because the game has multiple stages and weak heroes get buffed and OP heroes get nerfed in a never ending cycle.
We'd probably see more Meis, genjis n shit if Blizz stopped hero stacking and doesn't pull their punches with balance.[/QUOTE]
I never did think that Comp was a good excuse for game balance, that's like saying that everyone should play chess using grandmaster rules even if you're just doing a play by post with a friend or something.
The point is that comp players represent a very tiny amount of players whom have made it their job as opposed to what they do for fun, and games should be balanced for maximum fun for all involved.
Mei is anti-fun because she strips control from other players and has two get out of jail free cards.
Odds are your average player ques solo or with 1-3 friends, Co-ordination between pubs is possible but limited, the mix of skill levels and barriers to communication mean you can't easily call out specific enemies and their location. Even using Voice chat a paniced "Mei behind!" or "Bastion left!" means you have to figure out where behind or left IS in relation to the person calling and by that point they have killed a person or two.
And good luck drafting a decent team in that regard when everyone is determined to play their hero of choice and you're the only healer and you really need a Genji or Winston to take out their widowmaker.
[QUOTE=Mellowbloom;50456308]mercy's pretty good for getting potg but I literally never get it as other supports, and lucio is my top character[/QUOTE]
i never get a chance for 3+ resurrections because i either keep everyone topped off or am dead
I got one of the Gundam skins for Pharah!

Unfortunatly, it's the more blue one, but I fucking love it nevertheless
just won several games in a row pretty drunk and now im questioning whether im actually good or just lucky
[QUOTE=MissingGlitch;50456194]To be fair, Zenyatta has some badass looking PoTG animations.[/QUOTE]
Which is almost a shame I seem to have stopped getting PoTG's with him after getting the highlight intro.

I mostly stopped getting POTGs with Mercy when i've got highlight too.
I wanted to buy one for D.Va and now i'm not that sure if i want to do it. :v:
BTW, how often do you see succesfull D.va ult? Today, when played with FP guys i finally got (after open beta) 4 kills. Mostly i'm barely doing 1-2, even if i'm throwing my mecha into big crowd. And i saw a lot of tough luck throws for others.
I rarely get kills with it, it's so easy to get away from I mostly just end up using it to clear people out for a second or two

Most I've ever killed with it is 2 but I've used it to help us cap so many times.
[QUOTE=Bugga12;50456117]I can attest to being knocked around.
I was ulting at the Hanamura point A with Zenny, raging Winston came up to me and threw me off the balcony to the depths. :c

"Experience Tranquility..."
"NO!"[/QUOTE]
Not too long ago I was playing Hanamura as a Winston and I was raging and i up and knocked a ulting Zenyatta off the side to the depths. Yeah. Zenyatta is easy to knock up and make dead.
Zenyatta can get POTGs at a good rate because, let's be realistic, he has a higher damage potential than both Mercy and Lucio (I'm not counting Symmetra in this because, the way I see it, she's more of an utility/builder hero than a typical healing support hero) and POTGs tend to reward mainly players who can get many kills in a row (that's why Junkrat and Hanzo are the most common POTGs achievers)
As far as I know, Mercy can pull off a POTG if many of her team mates have died and she resurrects them (we are talking about three and up people)
When it comes to POTGs and Lucio, I don't have a bloody clue

About Lucio, I don't have a bloody clue as of now[/QUOTE]
If POTG's are based on how much damage someone does in a short time, Lucio will never get them because he has no way of dealing massive amounts of damage. Best he can do is knock 3-4 people off of a cliff.
I think what would be cool is if they had a PoTG for each section of heroes. Like one for offensive, one for defense, ect.
But people already complain how it can take 20-30 to get to the next round. So I can see it never happening.
Forgive us padre for we have sinned.

What's with the kill-cams where you see yourself but it wasn't suicide?

It's usually Dragons at that point.
as a person who has played 1300+ hours of tf2 since late 2011 and now plays overwatch frequently instead of tf2, i just get sad when i look at tf2
