Do try to wrestle the TV from the Queen this weekend. We need your "toga steal"

Mizx, that bomb throw was epic.

On point yesterday with Pharah!

Should hit a new season high today.

It'll be interesting to see how Ana plays after the PTR nerf. A nano-boosted Reinhardt is a sight to behold at present

Have to say, I can't see me playing this much over the coming weeks (months?). We seem to have gravitated to BF1 but I'll certainly be keeping hold of the disc and giving this a blast from time to time. Also, it is inevitable that there'll be a DDOS attack on EA servers over Xmas.

The usual lot I play with are loving 3v3 elimination mode at the minute. It is really good by all accounts and sounds similar to game mode in Destiny which we enjoyed a lot. I'll dip in this evening and give BF1 a bit of a rest.

I'm looking forward to giving Sombra a try and also the next season landing shortly.

Couldn't agree more. It is infuriating and satisfying in equal measure. So much so that I am not playing BF1 as much.

Currently still in the diamond ranking with a season high of about 3115 or so. Not bad... But nowhere near as good as one of the squad who has just hit 3500+ His lobbies are filled with people displaying the top 500 icon. No thanks.

I highly recommend 2v2 or 3v3 with friends in custom games. So much fun.

New map hype!

Enjoying quick-play quite a lot. Less try-hard and a different pace. Easy to get a good run together:-

Love the gam but the competitive ranking system is just nonsense .im sure the top 500 are brilliant players but it seems to me the luck that of your team pick is more important than skill in progressing.

Agreed. There are some players, probably me included () where you wonder how the actual f**k they got the rank they did. You can spot them a mile away- will spam a certain hero for the team to pick before picking a completely unsuitable hero and then dying. A lot.

Also seems like the toxicity of players has risen, at least on PS4. "Won't pick who I want you to pick? Fine. I'll be Torb. On attack"

Still play when others are about, otherwise I've recently re-discovered Battlefront. So much pick up and play.

Yes and I echo the love/hate thing.

When it works, it is untouchable. When it doesn't, I am suicidal.

Reminds me of the wife.

[Flat-out]

Yep.

I've finished seasons as diamond more through luck of matchmaking rather than skill. The last season, however, saw horrific choices of randoms- picking Torb on attack or the classic Widow for KotH modes. Just why?! Think I finished 28xx or so and vowed NEVER to play comp unless with a squad mate.

Can't help but feel that the cartoon-y look means there are a lot of young players at least on PS4. All want to be a sniper or DPS. Bastids.

Torb is a decent pick ig you know how to use him, plus the heroes with lower overall pick-rates (sombra, torb, symmetra etc) will get higher sr gains for a win, whereas if you played someone like soldier:76, you'd gain less.

Didn't know that, good info!

Problem is that people don't know how to use torb etc properly. Stuff like setting the turret up just outside the spawn or using the ult just to avoid dying or not throwing armour down. Frustrating!

I've come from playing months of Rainbow 6 Siege which has a pretty toxic community. Spotted an article over the weekend which suggests that this community is pretty toxic. I have to agree that it is (at least on PS4).
