One thing I tried to figure out: Is that Unreal Editor 4 or does it just look so similar? I haven't used UE4 for so many months, so can't remember how it looked lik exactly.

Why I'm wondering this? Because, I want to make maps for Overwatch already!

I don't really "main" anything. I play what is effective and/or needed (sometimes team doesn't know what they need). This Season though, I'm going with something new and added Bestion and WindowBreaker into the usual S76, Pharah, Zarya, Tracer mix.

Finally climbed up to Diamond (through solo queue) but after alot of games with hanzo mains and other trolls i dropped down to 2800 again. Found a nice group and now im finally climbing! Im happy to be in Diamond, since apparantly only 8-10% of the players get that high. Still i want to get higher

I'm currently @ 3261 SR. Overbuff says it's top 12%, MasterOverwatch says it's top 19%.

Also, I started this Season from ~2700 SR (last Season's high was +3500 SR, but final ~3100 SR).

It keeps forgetting that I already installed Quake or perhaps it simply removes the game after playing. Anyway, after having downloaded (14 GB) and installed the game for 25th time, I'm done. For the love of god, please let this be put on Steam soon.

Did you try checking from the "All Games" button from lower-left corner of the Bethesda Launcher? I found my Quake being there (while not being there in the "main list". Sure, it doesn't fix the problem, but at least you don't have to re-install the game again.

Yea, there are still few occasions where low-models give advantage. Also low/medium-lighting is better too, as the bloom isn't too bright then. This is most apparent in Gibraltar when holding between server room and 1st point, while looking towards the sniper platform on top of tunnel. The sky is so bright, it's difficult to see enemy team's skinny heroes there sometimes.

Despite those, game's so pretty, I don't think it's really degrading for graphics to have some settings set to low. I have otherwise all the rest on Ultra I think. I need to maintain that 144fps though all the time.

Low-model settings, and the drapes are le goné.

I like all of 'em and want all of 'em! I'm sure there are tons more coming, because I remember "Jeffrestler" (the wrestler) in some video mentioning about Hanjo skins being worked on.

What is better in your experience, to know at least a character in the different roles or to know several characters in one or two roles so that you can adapt to enemy comp while still performing your "role"? Or in general, how do you guys pick your heroes? Do you stick to your main or mix more?

Focus on few heroes only, mostly DPS (other classes get way less SR gains, even though they drop just like the others).

It seems a new closed-beta wave starts for this weekend?

Abilities might be insignificant (and I'm okay with abilities, they could maybe be even bigger thing), but not the health/armor/speed/hitbox differences and "styles" (aircontrol, friction, etc).They should be equal to all.

You mentioned that this is 'level design'. What game is this for? What are the game play elements here? So far to me, this looks like environment art type of deal.

How was it @SotaPoika?

Let's just say: you most likely won't see me in the game shop buying this game.

I did get in and I think new "wave" starts today! So get your game ready!

Shambler mask!

I have a feeling, PTR is a mirror-build from DEV, when this kind of stuff gets overlooked almost constantly:

So many players who just solo one character and complain about the team setup whilst playing a character which probably isn't suited to the map.

Had a guy playing Rein who would charge in alone whilst we were all dead, use his ult and die, and then complain saying he had a lack of backup.

It's really infuriating. Placement matches are always shit and I seems to always get the trolls/stubborn/brain dead people on my team

Don't worry about them too much. At the worst, you are placed ~300SR lower than you last Season Final SR.

Oh I wish Blizzky would do something about trolls and griefers. So many smurfs playing Hanjob/Widow/Ginju/Sombrero-only accounts and throwing the match if asked to switch.

Yeah, but Overpass looked pretty cool already when it was released. Maybe this time they didn't want to spend time on visual-polish, because they know things are going to be changing.

On my placements, it went 6W-3L-1T and I got 3330, when last season I was 3500. Now I'm 3200. I like how I'm matched with people who have DDOS in their brain.

What SR did you get after those placement matches and what did you end your last season with?
