Feels like half the spectator games are on Rialto. I wonder what it is about this map that drives people insane.

Hearing someone being honest about their ability is such a nice change of pace. Feels bad for him for having the stickdrift but other than that he seems like a genuinely good teammate. I always hate how someone will try to blame the team as a whole when it comes to performance and ability rather than looking at how they performed themselves.

[@Sac-chan]

i played with stickdrift a lot too, and i mained Hanzo/Phara on console and boi it feels awful, now i can finally play on pc

[@ETJ2002]

Just because you can do better doesn’t mean you should have to. You shouldn’t have to play diamond level just to get out of bronze. That’s those peoples frustrations. Most know they aren’t perfect and could do better but it’s still frustrating and true at least 50% of the time.

Have had plenty of those rolling games, then the next round, the team appears to forget how to play and get absolutely demolished. 😂 many games of those and it feels impossible to right the ship lol at times. It's confusing how trams can be so differently one round to the next.

Try being a Widow, Ashe and Hanzo player with a drifted and broken controller, I cry everytime I go to use it 😭 my favorite controller is a Red Dualshock 4 and I’ve gotten stickdrift on it so I can’t use it at all. If I try, we end looking at the ceiling for 12 minutes.

honestly even if it's not console, if someone's playing badly chat will NOT stop asking whether it's console. Like they think it's impossible for pc players to have bad game sense for some reason.

Yeah, this is an all too common occurrence in metal ranks: pushing up well beyond the natural choke points of the map, especially on very good holds, made worse if the team is also not properly anticipating enemy ultimates that could break that hold. If I had five OW coins for the number of games I've had where I'm literally begging people to not touch the enemy spawn doors or stand in the open because we just need to hold the choke to win would probably net me a free battle pass at this point. I think it's a combination of the end game music getting folks a bit amped up, the victory being so close, but if you've also managed to basically hold them to the initial spawn area of the map folks just get a bit cocky. Sometimes it works, but then you end up with the enemy team breaking the hold and then they just snowball from there, and now you're staring down extra rounds or even a loss.

[@pbabar1389]

He already accepts he knows he made mistakes and doesnt blame his teammates for being the rank he is. He's got the right attitude and mindset to rank up 100%

[@Sir_Jimmothy]

I'm late to this, but after the attack I think I figured it out - the Ana thinks that shooting only damages enemies and not heals teammates, so they're only using the grenade to heal teammates because they don't know any better.

[@RodrigoFlores-ls1kq]

20:19 that ana played an excellent sombra!

[@Lp0tr33]

They were so close for the win, then the hanzo killed 3. Then the OT time almost hit zero a few times, before the Sigma ran away.

[@orionlucas3272]

The stick sensors in controllers are meant to break down fairly fast. Every controller I've used in the last 8 years developed stick drift after ~80 hours of gameplay. The worst part is it's one of the few components that didn't recieve an upgrade in the Xbox elite Controllers, so twice the price and it fails just the same. Been the biggest issue with console gaming for a long time IMO. 2 years on my PC setup and the only replacements have been upgrades. With my consoles it feels like a necessity to spend another $80 on a controller every 3 months. Not fun:)

[@sethescope]

holy heck, that other support. this was deeply painful. they're playing so selfishly. the team is clearly an afterthought to them. I am normally extremely patient with lower rank gameplay because its from lower ranks! getting upsetti about it is silly. people in lower ranks are learning the game. but this is fundamentally different. this isn't just someone making mistakes. this other support just doesn't care about their team. also, you can just TELL they're the kind of person to be like "my teams are the reason I'm in silver, my aim is so good, i deserve plat at LEAST" when in reality, their positioning and game sense is legitimately bronze quality. re: Kiriko tp, the last patch notes talked about updates to the tp and that it should work more consistently now, including when teammates are crouching. my understanding is that this type of ability is extremely difficult to make work in such a complex game, but it seems like they're making progress on troubleshooting the issue, which i appreciate.

One time we had a good first round and my friend was on Ana, pretty much hard pocketing me on tank. I was playing a tank I wasn't the most comfortable on, so it helped a lot. But then for some reason, the other support takes Ana and does a terrible job healing me. Sure enough it was a loss and we almost didn't even score a single point.

I know what you think. "Zen don't need to focus on healing. Just put orb on them." There are times when he has to stop doing damage, and cancel his right click, because more than one person are in critical health. That's probably what he meant.
