    - Do you vote for your own card when it comes up?
    - All the time?
    - Under what conditions if not?
    Worst is having a match and everyone doesn't rage but votes for nobody instead. Personally I always vote, sometimes for myself (Usually to get it to 5 ;) ) but usually for the healer or anyone who isn't DPS, unless they clearly carried. Pain is when I know I did well as healer but nobody votes, the crux of support mains.

    If a Mercy healed for over ~12k, give them the card. *TF2 Heavy voice* They did well.

    I vote for the latter if it's over 50%, definitely.

    I'll vote the Mercy if she's healed more than 35% of team damage taken.

    These are arbitrary numbers chosen based on my own performance with both these heroes. I can get up to 50% kill participation on Zenny pretty regularly, but over that? That's tougher.

    It also means that no one on my team did anything more amazing, so that's part of it. Like, if I get a card as Zenny for 35% kill participation? That's not me doing well; that's my team not doing enough!

    so last night I figured out how to get our teammates to stop overextending from the point in KotH matches

    our Mercy says she has res, no one really responds, we've capped the point so they start pushing up a bit further than the main chokes

    I tell our team not to push up because our Mercy isn't going to fly out to heal them while she has res, which means I'm their only effective healer (Zenny) at that distance

    so you know, either you back off to get heals or die, plus if you die out there the res won't be for you cuz you're way out of position

    and slowly those green/yellow/orange silhouettes slowly march back to the point like, oh yeah, that WOULD be bad

    So as a followup to the ptr thing.

    Someone made a room with infinite ammo, damage reduced to 1, Mccree only, fan the hammer only, 400hps.

    In 3 hours of trying to play tonight, I have not had one single proper full game in quick play. Every game, I either start on a team with one or 2 players missing, and extra players never get added, or I get backfilled into a game where my team is getting shit on, usually A KotH where we're 1 - 0 and 70+ down.

    3. Fucking. Hours.

    I would like to play comp, but I can't even get warmed up by playing a few games.

    He means he's either backfilled into an ongoing game or had a game get shutdown before it finished. He hasn't played one start to finish.

    Does anybody have any PC input solutions for giant hands?

    My Logitech Performance MX is great for ergonomic wrist position, but it's way too small on me for a palm grip. Since I have to hold it with mainly thumb and fingertips, I end up with either mushy aim or accidentally clicking while moving it around.

    My workaround is to use gamepad and lock Symmetra's beam onto stragglers. I'd like to be able to use other characters, so recommendations are welcome.

    I know widow is the sexy lady with the boobs and the butt and whatnot and I get why that's gonna sell

    but she's far and away the least interesting character in the overwatch

    I'd take a figure of anyone else instead

    I'm pretty sure she's not even the cast member that's objectified the most by the community!

    Iunno, maybe blizz has a pornhub partnership and have data that says otherwise.

    Ugh, I had a gut feeling when I loaded Overwatch just now, "Don't play comp." I dismissed it, and it was a CRUSHINGLY BAD defeat. As in, 3 kills was the gold medal on my team for most of the match.

    I feel in the patch notes it was insulting to say Orisa's gun should work like D Va's
    If D Va's had the same fire power as hers I would not be playing Orisa

    Christ when is this game going to get a 10 second countdown to match end or something? I've had so many games where it's just like "oh, it's over now"

    Also: Why isn't this a card???

    it...

    already has one?


    You get a 60 second warning, then a 30 second warning, then a 10 second warning.

    The only time the game abruptly ends is when an attacking team gets the payload to the end, and this CANNOT have a second countdown, but is preempted with a music cue.
