Thought I'd just chill out and play some quick play games today. Lost about 15 in a row, horribly. Some games I was Q'd against master level five stacks. Not my day.
[QUOTE=Momentum;51767974]You need to use a shopping service. There's a small fee but generally Taobao has very reasonable prices.
I recommend [url]https://www.spreenow.com[/url]. All you have to do is paste the page link of the original Taobao product page into the spree it bar at the top and submit the cart. Then once it gets approved, you pay and they place the order for you.
It's a little intimidating at first but it's super easy once you know how, I order clothes from Taobao all the time[/QUOTE]
Put in an order, this shit will convert to usd right

[QUOTE=Steel & Iron;51767656]On that note, late yesterday Activision-Blizzard also announcing they will be pushing out their own merch now, with the head of the division being ex-Mattel/Disney.

Hopefully this ends Funko's reign of terror, but doubtful.[/QUOTE]
Ex-Mattel doesn't exactly fill me with confidence, but on the other hand I really want some articulated, reasonably porpotioned collectables for this game so I'll probably still buy whatever they put out.

i'll be doing a write-up on my thoughts on overwatch as a whole and posting it somewhere.[/QUOTE]
Is that all from soloq or did you find some decent friends to play with? I've been playing on and off for like a week and a half and nearly made it to 3000, but soloq is just utterly hit and miss for me, and usually just a "waste" of MMR during most times of the day compared to a duoqueue.
I found that soloq'ing between 3-6PM on weekdays actually results in non-garbage games most of the time (i.e not 500 fucking MMR above the rest of my team, while the enemy has a higher average), but it's not that I'm usually in a spot to play at that time.

all solo queue, i've never been in a party with anybody except at the start in quick play to get the group bonus exp.

Jesus, I soloq'd my way back up from ~2200 after dropping from my placement 2500 by trying to play at 3AM (not like I was very good either, but holy shit the matchmaking will screw you at that time) and that was fucking terrible. Ended up getting really good at roadhog at least (basically accidently became my main at this point) since he doesn't absolutely require getting healing and fucking destroys tanks.
[editline]3rd February 2017[/editline]
Plus he's far more viable against better players after the patch since the shotgun isn't nearly as RNG anymore after hooking (except for the pretty common reload glitching, which is still really bad).
So I got my first star, and I gotta say, I really don't like it. I'm getting more defeats than usual, and overall my performance has tanked .The quality of matches and players have gone down significantly too. More smurfs, more trolls, more Widow/Hanzo mains...
I'm starting to actually grow a dislike to the game.
[QUOTE=Crimor;51768702]It always has been.[/QUOTE]
Well I was just put up against a competent hanzo player who would just shoot my feet and kill me instantly. I thought the scattershot was something like 25 damage per scattered arrow, not 75.
Oh yeah it will instagib any character in the game if it's aimed correctly.

That's what TF2 will always have over Overwatch
When I shoot someone with a rocket launcher I want them to fucking explode into a chunky meat paste, not floop off like a ragdoll in the wind
I want every Korean/chinese player who plays NA from Asia to go fuck themselves with their mouse. Especially if you don't understand/speak english.
I literally just went down 270 SP (when I was SO CLOSE TO GETTING THE PROMOTION TO MASTER) because of their braindead play-style. It's absolutely tilting when OW does this shit.
It doesn't help when they start yelling in broken english "Guy so bad push nawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwoh" and then proceeds to get fucking wasted by the other team

You've already got supposed heroes shooting people with actual guns and killing them and cracking jokes about it, might as well have fun with it instead of this laughable facade of any of the characters being morally righteous in game. I mean hell at least let the "bad guys" like reaper, hog, and junkrat gib people.

Meanwhile stabbing someone sometimes will send it to the moon. Fun times.
I basically only play Mystery Heroes now. There is way, way less salt and I have a lot more fun.
I can play any hero without getting bitched at (as long as I roll them), if theres a particular player just stomping with a certain class I can kill him and force him to switch, if i get rolled its due to luck mostly rather than shit team/poor performance, and since I play every character I generally excel since I know how to play. I turn voice chat off so I don't hear people screaming, I don't need to worry about communicating since its a chill match, and the worst thing ive run into is intentional throwers because "lol it's arcade" and I've even won matches with useless throwers before.
Even bullshit like 3 D.Vas is manageable as long as you kill one of them and then they get stuck as a different class you can ignore. The game becomes more focused on killing important classes and letting classes who aren't doing much live.
[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;51768585]jesus, hanzo scattershot is actually broken[/QUOTE]
Hanzo is one of my least played Heroes. For the few minutes that I have played him, I think only one of my scattershots has actually managed to hit anyone. It's weird like that.
...And then you have those players who shoot the floor and every single shot hits me. SMH

Then that would defeat the purpose of using it.

I don't know, people get really salty in mystery heroes (or any of the arcade modes really) when they don't get their win for a box.
They really should just make it weekly games finished instead of wins.

Tracer went up a bit, otherwise it's all the same shit.
Zarya's pickrate absorbed D.Va's
Yay tanks.
I think the saddest part overall is how the F tier has been consistently the one with most heroes.
I think we've never seen C/D have the most heroes ever. I'm not sure rather to blame the game's balance, the competitive scene or both.

Theres a lot of factors to consider.
First off its a 6 man game, you can shove 23 heroes into 6 slots. Just wont work.
Second off you have Mandatory picks. Reinhardt will always be there, Lucio and Ana as well. Zarya seems to be one as well. Blizzard seems to be fine with this, this isn't a statement on whether they're "Op" or not. (Ana is), but more of they're too good in every single situation imaginable.
A good example would be to think of a single scenario where a Zarya bubble is countered. It purges debuffs, turns anyone in it into a tank, blocks stuns, and nothing goes through it. Other than bursting through it with raw fire power, its is essentially non-counterable.
Which if used correctly you most likely will not have the time to punch through it.
The 6 slots are now down to two.
You now have 2 spots to work with, naturally you're going to pick heroes with high synergy with the mandantory picks. This is where your Soldier 76 will come in for Nano Visor, or Winston/D.Va/Genji/Tracer for Bubble dives. Until you find the clear cut winner in this scenario, which Im assuming is Tracer by the looks of it.
And to drive this all home is the fact of how important Q presses are.
If you swap off your meta hero for a niche pick, your resetting your Q press.
And the holy Q presses dictate the flow of the game so much that it ends up being better to mirror than to counter.
