In post 974, PokerFace wrote:My placements games have not been fun. Every one has had a hanzo in it on my team. One game had a hanzo, widow, sym, and torb on my team on offense. And another game had 3 guys throwing. The mei put up an ice wall in spawn to block us while the other 2 in that party put up a tele on a cliff and laugh taunted. I'm 1-4 as a result. Why do people do trash like that in comp? I don't understand.

I did only my placements first season as that all I had time for with how late i got the game during that season.

Season 2 did only placements. Friends weren't allowed to play with me because they were ranked low.

Season 3 I played only with friends in placements. Did better than I ever did statistically, got lowest rank ever possibly because Blizzard said there system was broke and everyone would get lower. Seems its still broke if I do better in every tracked stat and get lower rank. I had little motivation to keep playing. Figured I should try solo queuing in season 4 and see what that does for me.

But the system is indeed bugged because last game I played which was my 4th loss this season, I was solo and paired with a group of 5. The opening game conversation was "alright whose turn is it to play support and get the low SR because Blizzard has bugs?" (There are youtube videos and forum posts on blizzard forums about this stuff) They started that conversation and all bickered over whose turn it was. I chose Zen and eventually had to switch to lucio since I suck at Ana and Zen can not solo heal especially when none of those 5 ever did pick a support. 4 of them were tank and the last one was a Hanzo.

Why do people play like this kinda shit not wanting to win in comp? I may have to not finish in solo queue since my motivation is 0 after all this shit
had a 3 man stack in comp before who announced that they were doing a "do not ult for the entire game" self imposed challenge

apparently quickplay doesn't exist???

Seems that way. Part of me hopes that they all only did this because it was their placement matches. Some people believe placement matches mean nothing after all. Still thats not an excuse. Its a hope that all comp matches don't have shit like this in them

I would say a good 85-90% of my games are with a cooperative team. Most of that has people actively talking and making calls and coordinating hero picks. You'll get those people that will refuse to play anything other than Genii, even against a bad matchup, but it's better to work around them than against them.

Those other times are frustrating though.

Yes about 9/10 of my games are with people who just want to win and pick normal comps but that 1/10 is what I remember and complain about

I was playing a match where our mercy got mad and went attack torbjorn.
People got pissed but he refused to hear anything. Eventually we made some switches to accommodate for it (iirc our rein played mercy a lot and switched, and i went rein). The torbjorn ended up carrying us and winning, so lol. pretty good
did another ms user do something lovely? recognize their achievements here!

This, and you also can only get it on the regular uprising, not the any hero version.

Like I said we were on hard both times. It was 83% one time and 80% another. Neither time got it.

When you got it von, did you get the achievement right when the cart unlocked the next part or when you win at the end?

In any case, I don't think it's super difficult to get it with a competent rein who focuses on keeping the payload shielded from the small laser ones. That's the real threat. With zero coordination/playing with randoms on normal difficulty I've got fairly close to pulling it off, so I imagine with teammates you actually talk to it should be reasonable.

I got it on accident as well. Think it was the classic heroes version. The achievement popped up as we finished the payload part I believe.

I've got every achievement except Legendary because I didn't know you needed to do that on classic. :(

We should get together and do the legendary thing. I wasn't going to bother, but my homegirl got it and their score was apparently like #98 on the leaderboards, so I need to eclipse her. :p

PC here. And yeah, I'd be down. I can do either Reinhardt or Mercy. If we could get a team of 4 with communication and a strategy going into it, that would help a lot.

honestly I think you need a competent torb and rein to get the 80% left. Since I can't do both, its not working well. I'd appreciate someone getting on to help me with one of those
