I think on the main subs everyone just complains no matter what about everything

They say the patch notes are bad no matter what

Here is what I think:

- They should have let Tankpool be S tier for a little longer

-Phoenix ult is now borderline useless for securing 1 pick on 250 targets, its a hard nerf, she is gonna be a better hela now

-star lord didn't need a buff

-fantastic damage for CC might be interesting, he might be able to make an larger impact

-This is my opinion but DD is a necessary evil

-rocket has been weak for so long I wonder if this will make a change

-Fox form healing output was broken good nerf

-gambit needs a ult revamp

-black cat staying the same is dangerous

-fist might eat this season, I despise his block

-questionable mantis nerfs, legit targeting triple support Ultron which probably has an insane WR but ruins her baseline

What you guys think?

Okay patch notes tho

I’m a returning player from the Deadpool season, and looking to pickup new heroes to make the gameplay refreshing. Normally, I would spend hours in the practice room to get used to mechanics which I would then jump to AI games after. Once I feel comfortable with the character, I would then hop on Quick Play to play with real people.

HOWEVER, every single time I hop on Quick Play I would be placed in Celestial and GM lobbies. Most of the time I end up having to switch to characters I already know how to play which defeats the purpose of me trying new ones.

Should I make a new account for new characters or is that still smurfing?

Am I better off playing Comp as I’m at least facing players in my rank as opposed to GMs in Quick Play?

Was playing with an invis yesterday against a star lord. I asked her to hold her ult for him. We made it all the way to 2nd point on Central Park without either one of them using ult, until our invis randomly popped in the middle of the fight because, “I felt like I was wasting it”. Lo and behold the star lord wipes half the team immediately after. Our invis says, “Wow, it’s like he was waiting for me”

Yes. That’s exactly what happened. The star lord knows his ult is useless against an invis ult, so a smart star lord will wait until she pops, or is dead. Their Bucky was countered by our CnD, & no one else on the enemy team posted a kill threat with their ult.

So, by holding the invis ult, you essentially nullify the starlord ult.

There are a lot of games where I start as a support and we run double support, and the game is not going our way, and I feel like if I switch to someone like Namor that could change the tide of the fight, but then we would only be left with one support. So I feel stuck playing support. Should I feel comfortable switching roles whenever or should I try to get another teammate to switch to a hero that would better help our comp or get them to switch to support so I can go Namor?

Their comics? Their appearance in movies? Their kit/play style? How they play in the meta? Their costumes or skins?

What is it that makes you most interested when picking a new character to learn/main?

For me its a combination of cosmetics/kit, but when I first started it was based off favoritism of their appearance in comics/movies

butttt I learned that I don't always "click" well with some of them or not like their kit/play style

Can someone explain the elo math to me?

In this half season, I have exactly a 50% win rate. And over the course of the season I have gained exactly 6 points for 96 games played.

I understand that the math is based on my stats, but which stats??? Is it only healing per minute? Or does KDA factor into it?

Also, I keep seeing people say that you can rank up with a 48% win rate. What character is that on? Cuz I wanna swap.

Edit: thank you for the good info about elo. Seems like we don't know the exact stats that are being used.

And to everyone who told me to lol git gud- ya moms a ho. I already am good. I just want to be compensated fairly for being good.

With a 50% w/r I should be able to maintain my percentile. So if I'm in the top 10% of players, I should stay in the top 10% with a 50% w/r , right?

The system isn't doing that.

It goes from +28 to +18 four games later. This is in the same session, on the same day with no break. solo tanking most games too!
