Most people who I see play roadhog and get a buggy hook think it's just as bullshit as their target does. But I have seen comments about pro players who can exploit the mechanic semi-regularly.

Made it to silver in ranked today. Yay!
Got in a game where the whole enemy team left after round 1 of Oasis, except for one guy who we all just ended up chatting with. 3 on my team then stayed as a group and after each game we picked up another player througj the "stay in group" feature. Eventually, we ran into the guy that was abandoned by his team earlier and he completed our 6-man team. I thing we played 7 or 8 competitive games, winning every single one of 'em, while being very chatty amongst ourselves.

Rarely have I had this much fun in Overwatch. There was just such a positive vibe going on.

I got to Platinum and then stopped playing competitive. I rightfully belong in Gold, so I got my 800 points and then I GTFO. :arrow:

It's just enough to give me 3000 points at the end of the season, so I can get 1 golden weapon. :paranoid:

:D

I had terrible qualifying with someone who just seemed to want to get an achievement, so I ranked low bronze....though to be fair I have gained a few 100 now and I am up to Silver.

Season 3 seems a lot better than Season 1&2

I just got a Roadhog legendary skin out of a lootbox. I should be happy, but I'm actually kind of miffed because I already have 3 legendary skins for Roadhog :disgust:

Some of the skins for the Luna new year are MEGA. Rein, Zen, Sym and Tracer are highlights for me.

The capture the flag games are a snooze fest of turret destruction.

Bosh! Good work :D

I am still slowly climbing after my freaking nightmare placement matches. in the 1600s but I only play a few comp matches per week. I could climb more if I put some effort in I feel...which I might do given the loot on offer atm.

(horrible chinese holiday)

I crawled my way to diamond the other day. You can't carry as a tank in low-level cp, but you can play pharah and just wreck face because they can't aim lol. Took me a long time to go from my calibration (2550) to 3k.

I didn't calibrate with my friends because I had no idea the season had started, whereas they stacked for calibration and placed in high-diamond. One guy has since peaked at 44xx or so. I can't play with anyone now in comp because I'm more than 500 below them. I wish they would get rid of that fucking masters cap, because I don't have time to play every day to keep my SR from decaying. What is this, Gunbound?
I love quake!
