Zarya is fantastic against symettra or torbjorn

Its funny you should mention that, because those characters also love to be on the same team.  All characters with shields love Torb's armor packs; and both Torb and Symettra (especially Symettra) can go unexpectedly ham if they get a Zarya barrier on them.

I dunno, just a funny coincidence.  Lot of character interactions between those 3.

Zarya protip: against small characters like genji/tracer/widow, use the beam like a faster mcree's pistol. The damage tick on the beam is low enough that you can think of it as a semi auto rifle/pistol. This allows you to use twitch style aiming rather than tracking aiming, and for 99% of people, twitch aiming is way easier than tracking.

Cheers guys. Something out of all that clicked and Zarya's now probably my preferred tank with pubs, if only because you can shield them without their cooperation

So Competitive Play just got released on the PC version of the game. Anyone up for playing that together? I don't feel like braving the solo queue

Anyone else getting stupid amounts of lag lately? Tried playing earlier and everyone was basically teleporting everywhere. It's not my internet, since everything else is working fine.

That's why I advocate against the death penalty in all cases except DDOSing.

Hee hee.  During a competitive match today I saw an enemy Mei trap her poor Torbjorn(who was ulting) behind an icewall with our whole team shooting at him. 

I've been playing the placement matches with my roommate, and they've been fun so far.  We've lost two games and won the next three.

So far, with all randoms, I've gone WLWWWLLL. My last game wound up being a 3v6 stomp. Not so much fun. Had to hang it up at that point.

[Folly]

Finished my ranking. 5 wins 5 losses. Final ranking 49...which I guess is pretty lose to average? Better than I expected tbh.

[TherosPherae]

Final ranking 53 after going 8/2, followed that up with a loss streak that took me down to 50, mostly because I was playing in solo queue at 3 AM and ended up mostly playing support.

And, to no one's surprise, losing in competitive - even just a round, not even a complete loss - makes people salty as fuck and prone to blaming the rest of their team, resulting in a salt cascade that causes a full loss. Funnily enough, you don't see a lot of people blaming the support, though, which means I must be occasionally doing something right.

5 W, 5 L, Ranking of 52.

[Tnx]

Rank of 52, not bad for 10 games of all randoms?  Now I'm just a number I guess.

[Levi]

Done my placement matches.  5 wins, 5 losses, Rank 47.

Shouldn't be too hard to get that over 50.

Hopefully we'll be able to group up on competitive now. Sick of playing with lousy randoms.
