I love a lot of the games you guys are posting too, but as far as a "comfort game" I guess my standards are a bit different

Well that explains it. I reached a high of 59 rank a few days ago, and then lost most of a rank per every loss, and had a streak of bad luck with people raging about composition and being dumb. I went from 59 to 52 in a single evening, and have been consistently matched up with way worse players, and had way less enjoyable games ever since. In a rare good game yesterday, incredibly well matched, we went back and forth in Egypt for four rounds each before finally winning by holding the first point. I played Mercy on attack, Symmetra on defense. Got over 7000 experience... and less than 1/3 of a rank at the end.
I really like playing the support characters, all four really (even if one should definitely be in Defense instead), but I also really don't like playing with the people I've been matching with ever since my rank dropped so far. 
There's a lot on here that's confusing or doesn't match my experience, but two things especially: Why is Mercy listed as strong against Mei, and why is Symmetra, both in her box and the keyword descriptions, called an AoE Healer?
I found it weird that the PC knew where in his head to slot those things without a mirror. He did just wake up from a medical coma with those cybernetic enhancements brand new to him.
Also, I don't like the mid-screen scrolling text to recognize actions, I'd much rather it be a text log in the corner. Kinda feels like they're investing in fancy animations and UI effects and particles to distract from the blocky environment, without realizing that it just distracts people from their ability to suspend disbelief and use their imagination to fill in those details. When I'm playing old PC games I don't notice their geometric simplicity past the first minute at the most, typically. Try less hard, I guess? Maybe it just means the HD version is the one for me instead of the full remake.
Other than that though, it did look pretty neat. I liked the burn detail/animation when the mutants were shot.

If I were that dedicated a player I'd actually be good at this game
They released a public beta to play competitive, and I can't play it. Just randomly a "Unexpected Server Error Occured" when I try to login. Among the people complaining online there doesn't seem to be a clear pattern at all. Blizzard says they're investigating, no ETA 
Had a lot of fun with DOPA. Even found the Dopefish! The (very easy to find) secret level was by far the best in the pack, imo

Not-reaper is popping off.
Lol did they only bother copying six heroes? Also this looks like it's running in Unreal Engine 1
e: maybe Serious Engine
It's incredible how many important lessons people still don't seem to get on average. They still happily feed Zarya's shield bubbles, and let Mei sneak up on them, neglect to watch out for and shoot junkrat's tire, etc, and then rage that characters are OP. The Zarya thing especially surprises me, because I've been watching out for it bc it would make her significantly less effective, but even with how bright and obvious the shields are people blast away and get owned.

I'm surprised he said Torbjorn sentries are a problem, because I've found that the reflect move works really well on them, since they can't stop shooting when they see your pose change. Last night I blew up a sentry right after he triggered his ult by reflecting the shots, and it felt pretty goddamn good. 
I haven't been able to play any of the coop missions, since all my steam friends for CSGO are just drop-in comp matchmaking invites.

Lol like I'm gonna listen to anybody talk about anything this minor for forty minutes
Hideo Kojima knows how to be timely better than this dude
Yeah, but Pharah and McCree's ults can do something, just not the full effect, if they get shot in the middle of it, it isn't an all-or-nothing, that's what I mean. There's no partial effect for Junkrat, like there might be if the tire exploded when shot.
Like I said, when Junkrat's ult works it works really well, but its incredibly fragility puts it in a skill level that seems pretty out of place with the rest of the game. Nobody else has to work quite that hard, not for an ultimate.
As I play and learn more some of my issues/complaints get addressed by experience.
D.Va felt very frustrating outside of her suit bc of how long you have to wait, until I realized you can recharge it in like five seconds if you can land blaster shots on the enemy.
Mei can be countered simply by looking for her, like you would a Reaper. If you see her coming, she's not a threat at all, not really, but she's small and sneaky. I honestly feel like, instead of nerfing her at all, Blizzard could just make the damage indicator/locator effect on-screen more obvious/clear so you can find where she's shooting you from faster, and that'd clear it up.
Junkrat is super fun and personable, but his ultimate kinda blows (lol pun). Sure, if it goes well it almost always gets Play of the Game, but you can actually just shoot the fucking thing and it dies almost instantly. It doesn't even explode on death if it's shot. They should probably change that because having your ult literally do NOTHING is really frustrating. Even when McGee gets shot during Deadeye he gets to keep 50% of his ult meter. Either give it more health (it is a rubber tire after all, not like it's something fragile), or probably better, make it blow up when shot, imo.
For a complaint the game hasn't addressed, I have games with two widowmakers on my team more often than I do games with one healer. Widowmaker sucks, and even when she's not there initially the game actually says "Warning: No snipers" and so probably two people will switch. At least Hanzo has his utilities that help them team more often, but a bad widowmaker will use tactical visor like once total, and never throw a poison mine. The snipers would be okay, I guess, if the game was bigger than 6v6, but having someone getting 5% accuracy on a sniper character, standing nowhere near the objectives, is a bigger handicap here than usual in team FPS.
Edit: Speaking of snipers, why does it specify when you have no snipers on top of looking for defense characters, same for builders, but it doesn't call attention to no medics on top of the general support category? A Zenyatta or a Symettra is not a replacement for a Mercy or Lucio.
Ideally, yeah, but I mean you don't need your team to enjoy playing as him, because he heals/buffs himself and can shove people away. Mercy needs her team to think about her, as does Zarya and a few others, or it gets frustrating.
I have a lot of fun in pub games depending on my character. Mei is great, Reinhardt can be surprisingly okay because he's hueg and very visible, extra with his shield, so people actually gravitate towards you. Pharah's okay if the other team doesn't have an actually good sniper.
The only enjoyable support character is Lucio in most matches because he doesn't have to pay attention to his team at all, it's all just passive effects.
This video really helped me learn how to play Zarya competently, enough that I learned I'm just not a fan of the play style. The damage over time beam is just kinda unsatisfying compared to icing dudes or exploding them, imo.
Started playing this last night, and really enjoying it. One thing that I really appreciate that I don't think I've seen anyone else talk about is that you don't need a console command or anything to show fps, just a menu check under graphics, and that option also shows your computer temp, ping, and a couple other statistics I couldn't decipher but whatever, fps ping and temps all from an option checkbox! That's pretty damn good for a checkbox, imo.
The phrase "prefire" is everywhere these days, any time somebody gets killed faster than they thought they should. I don't think I've played a single competitive game lately that didn't have it brought up at least once.
