Mind you I'm still a lowly level 9 trying quickplay - has everyone else moved to competitive?

I stoped playing competitive. It needs more work before it's any real fun.Overwatch is a bit casual, so I'm not even sure why anyone needs a competitive mode.

Queue times have gone up lately. Premades destroyed this game. There needs to be a separate queue for solo players strictly.

It's great they finally made groups visible. Looks balanced.

I mean that game was lost from the start, but it still is a 5 man group against all random.

I haven't touched competitive since I did my placement matches; I get frustrated enough solo queueing in quick play.

Edit: LogicError#1267, US, although I haven't been playing that much lately since my internet has started cutting out every 30-45 minutes.

They just rearranged the heroes. I think we can expect Sombra next, and then Doomfist.

Hit prestige 2.

Why the fuck would you think any of these horrible, horrible characters look good in any way

They're basically marginally better than Olympic mascots

Still lost, because fuck coin toss and fuck blizzard up the ass for this retarded system, implemented in comp no less.

Also, mm is god damn awful :x

It kills me inside every time I get gold kills as Zenyatta and then the team loses thanks to coin toss.

How could they possibly think that sudden death was a good idea?

Hate being 'that guy' but Bastion is fairly easily countered once you get out of the low ranks. He can beat you when he *should* beat you (like when he's set up and still catches you unaware), but he's fairly bad at long range, and at shorter ranges can be taken out by Reap, Hog, and Rat.
