Just played a game of Capture the Flag in which the opposing team had 2 Symmetras. Both players in the same group. wtf

Use imgur instead? Most gifs I see are imgur.

Been using Zen mostly for the past two days, somewhat addressed the slump and got back to 3025. Although you're one good Tracer away from having to immediately change.

Nah, most of Reddit seems to use gfycat, I think the issue is with the PS4 capture/Sharefactory gif making thing. Can't see any option to improve quality anywhere though...

PS4 capture is at 30fps but the game runs at 60, may be why it normally looks crap imo

Saw a thing about that recently, apparently it's a bug where 2 players can suicide off a ledge, respawn, reselect characters at the exact same time and choose the same character.

The thoughts of two Symms on CTF though... as if that mode was any fun to begin with.

Wish they'd add "Need tank" on the communication wheel.

I would like a class selection thing before a game, so you don't up as a solo tank with 5 other dps mains.

I know that's slightly counter progressive to the idea of swapping but it would be useful.

IvoryTower · 08-08-2017 08:57AM

if 5 of the team are dps, or 4 with say junkrat etc which would be quite common, i find its best to pick symetra and you can at least use a portal to get them back to the action asap. You really can't take it seriously when you end up with a team like that though you'd only lose you mind

A generic "Need help over here" would probably even suffice. Nothing more frustrating than playing as Support in a comp with no voice comms and poor positioning and then getting jumped on by Winston or Doomfist with no way to call for aid.

The class-based queue system is interesting though, I believe LoL does this now where you pick your Primary and Secondary class type before you queue for a match and you're matched up with others accordingly. I can't imagine it's not something Blizzard have considered at this stage.

Can't decide if I like or dislike Mercy's event skin...

Reaper needs a new one, sombra definitely needs one

Digital Solitude · 08-08-2017 04:36PM

I like the concept, not the execution though.

Will need to get a full look however, before I make my mind up

I've been playing him a lot lately and I find that it's not just tracer that gives him problems. Sombra does too for similar reasons. Doomfist is a pain in the arse too and zen can't really handle his combo. Ana can sedate him at least but poor zen can only discord and hope those head shots land. Doomfist's inevitable nerf can't come soon enough.

If he's nerfed it wont be for a while yet. He's the NEXT BIG THING and is creating a buzz around the game.

rocket punch charges too fast, has too much aim assist(hardly have to point in a general direction), does way too much damage, and has a very quick cooldown.

honestly i was mccree earlier i flashed and killed tracer, doomfist charges me i combat roll away take half damage give or take pick manage to get health pack first which was beside us( this is where i ambushed tracer to start the fight), i get him to say a third health, he rocket punches me again dead... he manages to get 2 rocket punches off before my cooldown is up even though i used mine a few seconds before he even engaged me. honestly its frustrating as all hell.

rocket punch needs a re-adjustment the rest of his kit is fine.

funny one though to really show the hypocricy of it, their roadhog hooks our doomfist, doomfist one hit kills roadhog, because roadhogs hooke combo has been nerfed as one hit kill abilities are unfair and cheap........ great job guys really.

That's the "awesome" Junkrat skin? A cricket kit? Bleh.

Edit: Bikini Widow? We're all Widow mains now.

He shoots cricket balls though!

Also really like how you can buy all of last year's summer games gear now, for normal prices too.

I have 18000 in Overwatch dollars so I'll definitely get a few.

What's the "20,000 players ahead of you" stuff about on PS4? Never had that before.

I've had it a few times just after a big update. Everyone tries to log on together, servers seem to stagger it so they don't collapse.

IvoryTower · 08-08-2017 07:51PM

I was in queue of 5k, it counted down and failed a few times. Now I'm in queue of 30k..

Nody · 08-08-2017 08:14PM

Looked at every skin and went meh on all of 'em; sad days

Does not help multiple are in orange/red which only helps make you stick out even more...

Digital Solitude · 08-08-2017 08:32PM

I'm a big fan of S76's

The rest I could give or take. When does the event end? Won't get a chance to play until the 17th, I'll probably miss it until next year

28th with one free chest for logging in and another chest for winning one game of Lucio ball.

J. Marston · 08-08-2017 09:08PM

"200 players ahead of you."

"Connecting to server failed."

"300,000 players ahead of you."

I doubt PS4 even has 300,000 players, for feck sake!

fixXxer · 08-08-2017 09:22PM

My "Failure to connect" is happening quicker at least.

J. Marston · 08-08-2017 10:01PM

I'm in but can't play. Says "You are not in a group" and kicks you out for every mode.
