I am desperate for people to play with so I have assuredly at least one person on my team who I know can shoot somewhat straight and will communicate

In post 766, PokerFace wrote:I thought junkrats shift did more than that. If it doesn't than i guess keep it 100 or make it 120

I stopped maining junkrat a long time ago. That complaint is from a friend

Also apparently hirer is a word? Spell check should have caught that. It catches teleporter when that actually is a word. Post updated
Junkrat's tire should not be taking any damage at all

they should literally fucking make it so you can't play mccree in competitive below a certain rank

I'm sick and tired of getting 3 offenses

and when I talk about it I'm told to chill and it's just a game

how about you stop playing competitive if you're not willing to be competitive

I'm convinced that the 3v3 best comp is either 3 tank or roadhog and dva + ana

Soldier 76 is overrated unless the player running him is god tier

Roadhog is compulsory on 3v3 though, so damn strong. Bastion is a surprisingly good niche pick, esp with reinhardt. Zarya underrated. Rein good if you can land charges since landing a charge is even better than landing a hook.

For supports: ana best by far, followed by zenyatta, then mercy/lucio. Symmetra should be played as offense.

Reaper good counterpick to 3 tank comps. Run ana to avoid this.

Never pick tracer, hanzo, genji etc. Because they can force the fight into a confined area reasonably easily and the small map works against flankers. Hanzo is just an inferior widow on this map unless you have an aimbot or can consistently land good scatters.

Widow is overrated and over used, flank her through cryo with hog or boop her with dva

Never play sombra/torb

Pharah should be paired with mercy and the third member should be someone who can operate alone(hog, reaper, etc.) because they'll be apart from the sky duo

That's all the stuff I have about 3v3

Never set up in spawn and wait for them to come to you. They can jnvade with a tank and ana/hog covering escape tunnel. You dont want to be facing a rein/hog/dva/zarya up close.

EDIT: exception is if you're 99% sure they'll run a fragile comp like hog, zenyatta, 76, then you can pick bastion, ana, rein and set up in spawn, use the rein to lure them into hidden bastion nest

Oh yeah I forgot about Mei, she's a god in 1v1s, can even win roadhog sometimes.

2 tanks and ana beat 76, tank and support

1 good rein charge/road hook/dva chase with support split off or picked off and the 76 is down, then it's a massacre

I've been running Rein, Symmetra, Dva, Winston, mobile(Genji, Trafer, 76), Torb/Junk

The mobile is escorted to the flag with three layers of shields, captures and runs for it. Symm can rotate back to defend with torb/junk, and rein/dva can ult raiding parties if the mobile isnt in position to try to capture

Scenario mode might be more fun. You're given a bunch of scenarios with unique challenges(eg. reinhardt on eichwenwald with 5 medium bots against a team of 8 medium bots, and his goal is to hold the first point for 2 minutes).

My rule for getting cheesed off at people is that you must:

1) Pick within meta/fitting to team comp

OR

2) Do reasonably well

because the presence of either factor means that they're at least putting in effort to try to win

Orisa feels more like a tanky bastion w/ utility but lower dmg than a reinhardt replacement

Roadhog is an offtank - his main function is to force 5v6s by getting "random" picks. That said he can still soak up some damage with his fat ass - 76 ults, or wading into a death blossom to blow the Reaper's brains out.

In post 948, PokerFace wrote:You an I play Road Hog differently, Accountant. I try to play him as a tank while utilizing his DPS as a punish instead of a fight starter. I kill what tries to take what's mine, when I am Roadhog. You play him to fill the "Pick" position in 6s.

To anyone not in the know, 6s whether in tf2 or overwatch has 6 basic positions. Med, Pocket, Roamer, DPS, Pick, and Utility. Pick is the player who starts the team fight by getting that first kill making the fight 5v6 asap so your team is more likely to win the fight. Roadhog can fill that role as well as the roles of DPS and Roamer. I tend to use him in the Roamer spectrum since I don't play comp much and Roamer is more important when your team is unorganized and all about. Roamer roams helping out where they are needed. This player usually has high sustain or versatility since you often have to rely on yourself. I tend to see the DPS and Pick roles filled by flankers more often than they are filled by Roadhogs.

The Pocket's job is to protect the Med or Protect the team in overwatch. Rein has a monopoly on this role for the most part

Med is usually held by the teams primary healer and utility is held by a secondary healer or a character that provides other great utility. Ana and Lucio usually fill these roles with heals and boosts.

DPS is filled by player with high DPS. Lots of characters can fill this role
I tried playing it your way but the problem is that the more dmg you tank the more ult charge they get because he soaks up so much shit

Like when I play him as a roaming flanker, going around and getting hooks/picks from odd angles I get less fire aimed my way = less ult charge for them, which is Roadhog's biggest weakness

In post 949, Clumsy wrote:I tend to play Roadhog a bit differently than either of those. I play him as a positional threat, as in "I will guard this area, and anything coming within hook range of me will die." Secondarily I use him as anti flanking, getting that Genji off of our healers or dealing with the person taking the long outside route to an objective. For me, the two most important things about Roadhog are your position and the enemy position. You need to be in range to hook someone if they step one foot out of position, taking them out of the equation. My favorite spot on Hanamura is second story on the right side of the gate, catching Phara/Genji/Hanzo/Reaper all day long. As you can tell, I love Roadhog on defense.

I feel like Roadhog is one of the characters that has the most variation on the type of playstyle used with him.
When I play Roadhog on Hanamura defense I'm usually standing in the little house to the left of the choke(from the defenders' point of view - it has the healthpack there and cover, as well as an angle to hook people without taking too much damage). If they keep going through the little window(pharah, dva, genji) I sometimes roam over to the other side and stand on the other side of the gate, using the door as cover while hooking anyone that comes through the window

Since Hanamura often comes down to duelling Reinhardts at the gate, and their Rein's job is to charge ours and open the gate for his team to flood in (since fighting at the choke is a losing proposition), my job as Roadhog is to make sure that the fucker is never able to land a charge safely, because the moment he drops his shield, either he gets hooked or his teammate gets hooked and then we win the 5v6. I sometimes also get free picks off overeager Junkrats or 76s moving forward to land a rocket or grenade

anyone who loses the first round on attack and then immediately switches to symm/torb on defense and refuses to switch back, destroying team comp and fucking over the team even more by playing a sub par character, needs to be strung up by their gonads. the beautiful turret/sentry defense you're thinking of never works.

all I ask is that you either a) play meta characters OR b) do well with your off-meta pick

is this really so hard to ask?

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???

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
