Opened 4 loot boxes, out of 16 items I got 3 blues and 13 grey items. Don't think my luck is in right now

That is why quickplay is better, it's more about having a good time and trying out new Heroes than being the best.
Still get some tryhards but not too many. In my experience anyway.

Yeah, I've been trying out Sombra a lot lately. Getting to like her a bit more although I checked my win percentage with her and it's something like 35% so I'm certainly not successful with her.

Got dog's abuse over the mic from someone when i picked her for a match in competitive last week!

Sombra is a game changer when you get the hang of her. I think her damage output is pretty good in close quarters too.

Sombre is a really intuitive carachter to use, I like her a lot.

Not sure what to make of Symmetra since her update. I like her moving shield much more than the previous little shields.

Yeah she is probably my fave character after Mercy and Pharah.

She's an animal in close quarters. On a team of four Symmetras three put down shield generators and one put down a teleporter.
I was a Mercy that had nearly 400 health. They would just charge in and melt everyone.

I"ve managed to get my Sombra win % up to 49% in Quick Play (crawling up from 30%), but I really don't think she's ready for Competitive. Unless you're already winning. In which case you could play pretty much anything.

I'm starting to agree. You can't pick anything out of the ordinary without people losing their **** and throwing the game.

This was my second quad kill in the same match with Symetra :pac:

Sometimes I get Reinhardt to work:

Anna boosts and Lucio gets you there quick. They give your team the best edge

On PS4 there will be regularly people complaining about being on a terrible team and 90% of the time they're pretty standard players themselves.

But is that not similar to 90% of drivers thinking they are better than your average driver? People simply are poor at judging their own performance vs. the rest/when they are being carried.

It's just something I've noticed. Main culprits would be Tracers and Soldiers 76 players moaning on the mic. I hear a good few Genji's but if I'm honest a lot of the moaney Genji's are pretty lethal and just hit getting any cover.

You hear people on mic on PS4?

How? How did you achieve this?

Haha. About one out of 5 games in competitive. Almost always complaining. Sometimes a really enthusiastic German child. Same one every time I think. Probabay getting paired with the same pool of misfits every time.

Party chat has ruined any chance of coming across people who'll talk in game on consoles. Kinda sad really.

5 free winter loot boxes from Blizzard as an Xmas reward.

J. Marston · 24-12-2016 09:17PM

Is "Group up" that difficult a concept to understand? Numpties running in 6v1, what do they actually expect to do? Wipe the entire the team by themselves?

TitianGerm · 24-12-2016 10:13PM

I'm almost at Platinum now after climbing from 2100 or thereabouts.

2493 with a 62% winrate as a Lucio main.

Ha, I'm sure I've played with that same child.

I've only had two spontaneous, positive verbal encounters in many hours of play. I hope Blizzard think of a way of making it more mainstream in the future, similar to how great the 'R1 to group up' feature in the latest patch is.

It's a brilliant feature. A quick option to switch from Party Chat to Game Chat from the lobby might be a good option. I like to keep in a party but also let others hear us chat and respond to others. Actually there might be an option in the party for that.

Finally got to diamond level, and now constantly paired with diamond or master players. Some of these people are insanely good. One Reinhardt kept pushing way ahead of the payload. Normally that woukd result in instant death, which it did, but for the other team.

Symetra is such a low skill hero now, always was i suppose but really needs little to no skill and OP as hell.

TitianGerm · 25-12-2016 11:31PM

I don't play Reinhardt that often but we needed a tank yesterday so I tried my best...

She's easier to play now but she still takes cop on to play. Lots of people think they play her great but can't and think gold in kills is doing great
