I don't even get how people can play that much. I'm 48 or 49 and I can only play it in small doses, else I'd get burnt out. I was in a match yesterday with a guy who had leveled past 100 and was already in his 70s.

I'm actually wondering if some people have been exploiting something to level up so fast. I have noticed that when I play on and off throughout the day, I will get multiple "first win of the day" exp bonus which is worth atleast 1.5K. It happened 3 times in one day.

Was playing Pharah and our Zarya used her ult which trapped 5 guys. I then killed them all with my Q of the game. Felt good, man.

He's an edgelord but he's probably the funnest person to play. Teleporting above people and dropping down and Q-ing is pretty much the funnest thing of all time.

Yeah Reaper is fun, though I can count the amount of times I successfully used his ult on one hand. Nice PotG, pewps.

In my scrub opinion point B in Hanamura, Anubis and Volskaya are pure cancer. It's so unbalanced it's not even funny.

Attackers actually need some teamwork, and good luck finding that, while on defense everyone can just do whatever the fuck they want and it turns out fine. Not to mention that defense spawns right next to the point while both teams have the same respawn times and attackers have to walk across half the map after they die.

I kind of wish they had more gamemode options. Not nessessarily death match or anything, but with different settings e.g. types of characters you can use, limits on repeat characters, so on. Hopefully they'll come out with different types of playlists soon.

just testing gif making. I really enjoy Symettra, I wish I felt like I could play her on Offense and King of the Hill Maps.

I'm starting to get the hang of reinhardt. I'm still shit at Pharrah but I enjoy her too.

2 and a half game modes is pretty shameful for a full release imo

Doubt we'll get anything new soon. Jeff Cucklan said that competitive play is the priority at the moment.

Nice. For whatever reason every time I try to play Reinhardt I do absolutely shit with him. I have difficulty finding the balance between being offensive and having my shield up. So I usually just stick with Roadhog since I can be 100% offensive.

Roadhogs give me a lot of trouble as Reinhardt, I have to wait until they hook to charge and that ult just blows up shields.

The best game I probably had was playing defense on Hollywood and just protecting a pocket Mercy, who ended the game with a rediculous 56% of team damage taken healed cuz I wouldnt let anyone get close to her.

I did my placement matches and got put at 55. Then lost some and now I'm at 54. Dunno how I feel about rankings.

My computer crashed at the start of my last placement. Got back within 30 seconds and we won, but it still got recorded as a loss. Friend got 52, I got 49.

I've enjoyed the ranked games that I've played so far in that most of them were fairly even, but the system itself feels kinda crappy. Apparently Blizzard didn't listen to testers about sudden death being shit, and apparently there are people intentionally losing placements (or maybe leaving at the start, I noticed a few of those) so that they can farm reward points more easily.

And apparently distance matters on escorts, but time doesn't? At least that's the only way I can think of that we lost our last match, even though I'm pretty sure our team pushed it further than their's.
