Good Sombra are rare to find, but yeah they are horrible to deal with, especially when you're team wont focus her or even pressure her to translocate away. She can kill Roadhog and knock D.Va out of her suit with ease. Shes an underrated tank buster for certain ones. I play a lot of Lucio now, and I had one that just kept hacking me non stop... even ulted and then hacked me right when it faded away to prevent me from using my ult I had to hold the point. I eventually got it off, but not until after 2 of my teammates had died.

Orisa has problems. She needs an armor buff to TBH. Shes too squishy to be called a tank and is really just a choke point defender. I eat Orisa's for lunch as Lucio.... hes a ultra hard counter to her because shes is so damn slow you can just circle her and kill her easily.

The changes to Lucio are amazing. His heal radius is a lot smaller, but it heals more per second, and the gun does more damage, which is why you can murder Orisa all day. It also allows me to go kill the other teams Mercy. Mercy is really good right now and a good Mercy is annoying to deal with when none of your team will kill her, and instead keep feeding her ult non stop. If I'm not the healer and this happens I have to swap to Junkrat and mine her. Junkrat is very strong on capture points like the enclosed ones on Illios, Lijian, Hanamura, and Nepal. If you enter a small room with him you wont live, and he takes no damage from his own explosions anymore.

Did you get to experience the "Pharmercy" nightmare? Its a popular trend right now where Mercy just boosts Phara the whole round, and if the hitscan characters on your team are bad, its just a rage inducing. Nothing makes me rage more than someone playing 76 and not taking care of it.

Competitive is actually worse than quickplay unless you have a team. I play my 10 placement matches and don't touch it again every season. No one talks.... I generally put myself in a party when I solo, but for competitive I don't just in case... it hasn't happened for 2 seasons... and I feel like the other team does talk and we get steam rolled. I ranked lower than I have in a long time this season because of that stupid insta-cap rule they had when you're team fails to capture the first point.

The problem that this had in placement matches is that you got no data for such a short match. No kills, no heals, no assists, so it counts has have a really bad match and hurts your score, seeing as placement is based less on wins and more on personal performance on a character compared to others playing the same character.

Also there are good nights and badnights. I've lost 15 in a row before trying to get my last weekly lootbox, and Ive lost a ton in a row on just some bad nights. It happens. But some nights you just can't seem to lose. Its a wonky system at times. But I do like when you lose to another team so many times in a row, it reinstances you to play someone else.

Nah, everyone was too green to even know the "Pharmercy" combo or they just weren't using it. Honestly I barely ran into anyone on the opposing team playing Phara (maybe two and they sucked, I easily killed them as Lucio). Out of 10 matches I only lost one because my team wouldn't play worth the shit and kept letting me die (I was playing Mercy and no one would protect me. I kept getting flanked by Genjis, Sombras, and Tracers). I was honestly surprised by how well we were doing, I'm not wondering if some of the players I was with were high levels playing on a different profile (some of them were too good to have just picked up the game). All in all I had a great time. Wished the game was like this when it launched as I might of actually bought it once I got a job (still might but that lack of free time is what will kill me. Well that and short on funds since the computer purchase (which I still haven't gotten, that's for a rant on another day)).

No wonder Lucio felt like a god last night. I didn't know they buffed his gun damage. I got a 15 player killer streak with him and was wondering if it was a fluke (honestly didn't feel like I should of done that well). I was murdering fools left and right (and I went one on one with a Junkrat in a small room and won, I'm going to blame it on lack of skill because he should of killed me multiple times). Funny you should say that about Orisa because I was eating Reinhardt's for lunch last night. Did he get nerfed because he seems to be a lot more squishy then I remember him being (I was chewing through him with Lucio and actually killed one three times with melee attacks (that had more to do with his skill then him being weak))? Like I said I never played Orisa but the teammate who was playing as her must of knew how to play her well because they did amazing, only dying once because I was brought down by a Reaper flank. I forgot to mention that the Play of the Game I got with Lucio shutdown a Hanzo and a McCree before they got off their supers (was hilarious to hear Hanzo start his chant to all of a sudden hearing him die), thought that was worth mentioning since I've never did that before.

Meh, I've heard that about comp. I've also heard it's become a cesspool as well, much like LoL/DOTA/Smite when it comes to party chat. It's probably a good thing no one talks on PS4 (previous comment was made based on the Xbox Community). Honestly I'd probably just end up doing what you do but that's mostly due to lack of free time. I'm used to people not talking in competitive games, R6S rarely has anyone talk during a match. While frustrating it doesn't bother me since I always play objectively to begin with so as long as I'm pulling my weight I don't care how the match ends (though I will admit to fits of rage in R6S when people don't play correctly or fucking ignore me when I'm calling out enemy locations or for help).
