Wheeeee, finally got my hands on Overwatch. D.Va is so cute <3.

Sadly, I kinda suck with her since my accuracy isn't good. I heard she's getting some buffs. Does the Overwatch LYN group has a whatsapp group to play?

Is anyone willing to play in a group of 5 to win? I'm desperately trying to get my D.Va win rates up. Hit 68% win rate and dropped to 59% Q_Q.

There's a site that you can keep track of your personal scores.

No offense too, I understand win rates are not a good measurement of how good a player one is. It's just that I personally like seeing that 68% win rate that I had D.Va, that aside, I hope you don't think that I'm not having fun with the game. There are lots of fun times but I always play to win at some matches, it's all in the package of a good fun. Each to his own, mate.

Definitely man. I'd still play the rest, but D.Va is literally my bae heh. Just seeing how I managed to reach at 68% is a pretty awesome feeling since I put a lot of effort in improving my playstyle. My win rates dropped because I was constantly paired with teammates who lacked the basics. I was looking around my teammates and I noticed some players just sit back at the base and do nothing. Just my dumb luck I suppose. I've seen Genjis and Pharahs who have never use their ultimates at all throughout the match.

It's hard to have fun when it's not a good match, ie: teammates sitting at the base to sabotage you intentionally. Or when a teammate makes the same mistake thrice to ruin the fun in everyone. I always think if one is having fun and the rest of the 5 members aren't, it's not fun. That guy behind the mic can laugh till he wheezes and if he's ruining the fun for everyone else, its pretty inconsiderate. Learn to play with the majority's definition of fun is what I'm saying, some players just like making mistakes and laughing their ass off, and others enjoy a genuine display of skills and playing to win.

Fun can also be learning to accept your defeat graciously and still working towards being a competent player for the next match, while also being making goofy mistakes in a match, like accidentally falling to your death while darting around.

Going to game balance, it seems like a majority of the console complaints now is that Torbjorns are an absolute frustration to play. I agree, capping at 70% win rate, that's pretty high for a character. There's no fun in playing against 6 Torbjorns in a Defense map unfortunately. Am fine without a D.Va buff actually, but planning on moving to Mei once I get the 68% win rate back. Mei is adorable, haha.

Yeah man. Playing with a team is always fun. I pity Mercy at higher level plays, Tracers and Reapers are everywhere to rape her I play my D.Va as a flanker and backline disruptor actually, so long as there's a team focusing on the objective and distracting the team, I don't mind working solo Sadly, I don't think I'll be playing tonight. Maybe tomorrow? Since I've got to be in PJ for some errands.

Are you laying your hands off D.Va temporarily until the buffs roll in?

D.Va doesn't feel like an underdog to me actually, just gotta know your stuffs with her and she's always intensive yet ever so fun to play. Boosters + Self-Destruct always feels nice . If any, D.Va is out of favor among FoTM players because she got pushed out of meta. If you like underdog, you could try Mei. Whilst widely touted as Overwatch's most annoying character after Tracer, Bastion and Junkrat, many people have complained she is in dire need of buff to do good. But know your stuffs well with her and you could easily play the underdog who gets PotG most of the time too... Mei is a case of feast or famine, some people have called for Mei nerfs.

You could alternatively try the Support groups, I know Zenyatta and Symmetra are two super underdogs because Symmetra is only effective for early/mid phases of the siege/defense. But I've seen some seriously good Symmetra. You can tell if that Symmetra is good by the way they set up their sentries and teleporter machine.

Yeah D.Va works best as a flanker/backline disruption. She was designed to be an offensive tank whose primary way of tanking damage is to zip past enemy defenses and take down threatening heroes like Defense or Support. I don't think her hp and armor is low, but rather her Defense Matrix is a situationally defensive tool which is what makes her less of a traditional tank. But that's how Blizzard has to balance a hero that is designed around being offensive and tanky, to keep her in check, they have to tone down on her defensive tools so that her offensive aspect stands out.

Ironically, D.Va has the highest armor value of all tanks.

In case y'all don't know, Overwatch has taken over the throne as Korea's most played online game, followed by League. First major shift in 4 years, not surprising since League has not been living up to its reputation lately.

Thanks poodlepaddly and the rest for last night . FYI, that Mercy who joined us earlier on teamed up with me while the group was full, I'll invite him next time.

Definitely, that's what I call good game, two teams showing a true display of skills with really intense moments. Looking forward to more sessions with you and co.

Poodlepaddly are y'all playing tonight?

Poodlepaddly any parties going on tonight? Don't see y'all on.

Haha, no probs. Seems like I'm always late for parties, apologies for that. Half of my spare time is spent with my boyfriend, and its usually on days where working classes like you get to sit down and enjoy a solid 3-4 hours of gameplay. Outside of that is where I spend time on Overwatch, gymming and attending job interviews. Going back to your reply, feel free to add my PSN ID, since you have my number, perhaps you could drop me a message if you're comfortable, especially whenever you're going on to play. Although I suppose my skills with OW is limited to D.Va only, but if you need someone to help you take down pesky turrets or flank a tank, perhaps give them a taste of disruption, I'm all up for that.

As far group member goes, I believe I've only been formally introduced to you. I haven't added the rest, let's wait till we all play together, perhaps then we can all get acquainted instead of adding each other randomly.

Will definitely be going on tonight, what time will you guys be playing?

Yo just wondering, anyone here played Battleborn on PS4? Is it worth getting?

Ah alright. Btw, what time are you going on tonight? Friday's a definite for me, I'll be playing till 12 so I'm looking forward to that. Not sure about tonight though, I might join in till 10. What's your usual online timing?

Speaking of which, has the Widowmaker/McCree nerf patch come to console already? Or was that nerf specifically meant to target PC users only? Then again, I doubt so, McCree is terrorizing both platforms, so his nerfs must be across the platforms.

Widowmaker on console is less so of a headache.

Anyway Poodlepaddly, can I get your ET for gaming tonight? I missed out last night again cause my boy called me up to fetch him back home after work, missed out the session. Tonight is a definite happening though. Think you can drop me a message when you're about to go on?

No problem, I'll pm it over to you.
