He is a "regular" hero ...
Tell that to the assclowns in the high rank 50s.
EDIT: Matchmaker has fucked me good today. Down 6 levels.

FUCK my matchmaking today. I was looking for some laid-back games where I can enjoy myself, and keep running into enemy teams that are way more coordinated than we are. And the one game where we started doing well, the server crashed and it dropped me into another horrible game. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Still frustrated as shit at the fact that I ALWAYS lose more than I earn from winning and losing games. It doesn't matter that I constantly pick up 3-4 gold medals. The only thing that matters is apparently that I'm always on the team with highest mmr, but the win/lose is still 50-50

Oh this is brilliant. We absolutely CRUSH the enemy team on attack. Then, when we attack for the second time because both teams got both points, EVERYONE changes. We had no healer until I changed, but I was half the dps on the team already. This is rank 60 btw. People are incapable of thinking for 2 seconds.

My friend destroys game as reaper is rank 73 gets to rank 74 from a win.
I do 40% of damage taken healing as lucio.
Get 1/8th of a level for the same win while grouped.
I am rank 64.
I feel gipped as a support for xp gains

Three games in a row with a leaver! Fuck yeah! Matchmaker is dedicated to jobbing me.

There is nothing worse than having a griefer on your own team. I'd rather have a leaver, than someone only interested in blaming other people for their failures, at least then we only lose 1 person. As soon as you start shit-talking me for no reason, you're distracted, I'm distracted, and the team probably doesn't want to listen to it either. Shut your stupid piehole and think about how you could have played better, instead of resorting to childish blame games. If you have the time to type out your petty bullshit, you could have done something better, like not die.
And this was in the same game where I managed to destroy 3 teleporters, finally netting the achievement. Maybe I wouldn't have been flanking like that if you were backing me up in head-on attacks, asshole. + Show Spoiler +I was a Winston. My early attempts at harassing their backline were foiled by a well-shielded team. Nobody wanted to attack Reinhardt's shield, apparently, so they were very tough to break up.

I noticed, after some experimentations, that if you're in a losing streak, the loss will make you lose a lot of XP, and if you're on a winning streak, the wins will make you gain a lot of XP (by XP i mean rank).
During a losing streak, a win will gain you almost nothing. During a winning streak, a loss wil make you barely lose some points. So yeah, it's not really encouraging, but it's the way it is. If for some reason you lost three times because of stupid team, you're in a bad situation where you won't be able to regain what you lost quickly.
Experimentation : After i lost 6 games in a row (i was rank 55), got down to 51, i tried my best not to try my best and managed to get down to rank 37. Then i worked my way up to 53. My gain/loss was totally independant from my friends. I could win a full lvl for a win since i was in a winning streak and he won't. Or the other way around. Anyway, god this game is hurtfull at rank 40.

I hate low 60s games. I cant imagine 40s.

The ranks need more spread :/ this is why seasons are such a stupid idea, and is magnified by the small 1-100 SR. It was super bad in the beginning of the season, and it's still bad now. Fuck the "good feel" of resetting rank and just keep progression so that the player base can balance out and create a meaningful SR

Here’s the Skill Rating (SR) to Competitive Point (CP) breakdown for Season 1: ◾SR 0-39: 10 CPs◾SR 40-45: 20 CPs◾SR 46-49: 40 CPs◾SR 50-52: 60 CPs◾SR 53-55: 80 CPs◾SR 56-59: 120 CPs◾SR 60-64: 200 CPs◾SR 65+: 300 CPs
Apparently you only need 65 to get a free golden gun.

Wow hype here comes my golden gun!

There's enough of a difference between 65 and 75 that I feel like there should be a difference in reward ;(. I won't make it in the top500 sadly, but why should the top1% be lumped in with the top 10% or whatever ;(
Gimme 450 bro let's fucking go! Golden gunz for all my shit.

Gimme 450 bro let's fucking go! Golden gunz for all my shit. LOL, Isn't 65 and up the top 5 percent? Anyway, I see it like season rewards in Hearthstone. Legend is clearly better than rank 5, but you get pretty much the same reward at end of season. They want you to push to a certain threshold, but they don't scale the rewards too much, to where it feels bad to be on the lower end.

Feels like 1% is fancy enough to get an extra cookie but

Players who played mostly support should get boosted some extra ranks for the points ;( . Does someone know by the way if highest or current rank counts? Because I am dropping slowly since my DDs are trolling, because they can drop like 14 ranks. Rip dream of reaching top 500 as support. I now know atleast what I will make golden ! Reinhard Hammer, so everyone fears me as a Reinhard main knowing what I am doing.
Also fell for the Genji ult bait today... Hear sword press Q ... wait didn't Genji die a moment ago ... "lol accidentally pressed Q in spawn." Rip 2 support ults. Genji made us trigger happy before though with some insane jumps onto us.

Just lost 3 lvls because the worst the player is, the most it´s instist in not changing character and picking dps.
The worst they are, the more likely they pick (and block) reaper, genji, hanzo, widow, soldier and have 0 impact on the game.
It´s retarded, ended with 20+kills 3+gold medals, still lost shit ton of exp, mm is broken, no point in queing alone.

Still not over the fact that Blizzard removed the "avoid this player" functionality... So great tool for combating bad behavior.

Transcendance heals through the sword. And since lucio ult is a shield that degrades you shouldn't use both. Always try to communicate with your counterpart. Decide who counters what ults. Zen is better at countering genji ult, lucio is usually enough to counter zarya ult with a dva on your team. If you dont have a d.va, then lucio ult the genji ult and zen ult the zarya. If they use both at once, let lucio save his ult. Basically only lucio ult if transcendance is down and you need the extra hp.

It has been a few days now since the summer games event started and I want to reiterate that, even though I got what I wanted out of the event already, I find the decision to indirectly promote the purchase of loot boxes which have randomly generated content in a full price game is very reprehensible and I'm very disappointed in Blizzard.
But at this point I can comfortably say that I'm mostly disappointed in Jeff Kaplan, whom I previously viewed as the messiah of PR for a premium ever-evolving competitive game. His bold faced lies about Blizzard's intentions are just obscene. Perhaps I wouldn't think that negatively of him if he was just some other faceless name in the game dev world, but from my perspective, the guy fell from a high point.
Fuck shameless monetization of bullshit by crummy devs.
