Season 3 and 4 were purposefully designed to place you slightly lower than your previous season’s ending SR, character doesn’t matter.

It’s better to win than lose. *shrug*

It actually appears to be the opposite. Sombra is the least picked character, there is a Sombra main who tracked his progress; he was getting astronomical SR gains and made it to GM with a 40% winrate.

True and True.

I’ve read and experienced the opposite just as much, so I’m not liable to take a single hero’s playerbase for it. I fill and flex a lot, and I’ve noticed disappointing SR gains on Zarya and Zenyatta the most, my Mercy seems to be solid. I’m inconsistent on Zarya and she’s got to be difficult for a system to read…

They didn’t nerf healing assists. They fixed a bug:

So far you haven’t said anything of substance at all, just nitpicking and obviously *thinking* you are arguing in a valid manner. You’re not. There’s nothing here in your comments, you’re just bleating at me with insults. I suppose I’m expected to reply with something along the lines of “stop touching me!” or…

That you know what you’re talking about.

I’ve already much covered it. You have the reading comprehension of a Mercy main who thinks the cheese strat should grant her healing assist when she’s not even healing.

Skepticism. Look it up. I don’t have to prove anything because I’m not claiming anything. I’m skeptical of your claims.

This is a good article. “White privilege” has been memed so much, indeed on Gawker Media blogs too, that the ones who were unaware of the concept have instantly become resistant to it. Whereas if you approached them with real numbers and say it’s not about making you feel badly...it’s so crazy it just might work.

Then you don’t know what you’re talking about. I said she’s one of the strongest healers. Ana does heal more that’s a fact. But Ana has to be in the right hands and land every shot in order to do it. The second strongest healer is Mercy, check the numbers, and she doesn’t have to have godly aim to accomplish it.

This is really alarmist nonsense. If you read the people complaining, they are Mercy rezbots. Look at the reddit post you linked: he calls tempo rezzing “wasting a rez.” Of course he’s going to get less SR, he’s hiding during the big times he could get major heal assist. You have to hide during a full ultfest,…

Strategically, attack Hanzo is better than defense Hanzo although it’s not even the either/or thing it used to be. The “attack sniper, trollolollulz” thing was resolved months ago by the pros, yet you’ll still find people tilt and will even throw if they have an attack Widowmaker on their team.

People seem to argue about the different meaning every day, lol. I lost track of which one to use. I just wanted to be clear, the term isn’t but I think people got it in context. Threshold actually does work better.

Exactly. Why not? Or why Hanzo? I think it’s dumb. At worst you might get a terrible dps, that’s a risk with any of the characters.

Meh. You could say the same thing about McCree though. He has a high skill floor too. Maybe not as high as Hanzo’s but it’s still high enough that I sigh inwardly when one lands on my team in comp. I’m the only one who seems bothered by them though, which bothers me because there is obviously something else going…

Hanzo is a superfun character with a rich redemption-based storyline and a fuedal Japan type of background. Good, but feeds into dumb stereotypes about white boys obsessed with anime.

A fool’s errand.

This doesn’t have anything to do with “pc police” and you calling it rigid and intolerant is beyond stupid. Blizzard is successful because they make their games welcoming to casuals who wouldn’t know how to hardcore game if you paid them. The culture of putting down other players is a huge turnoff to casuals and…
