Anyone else here, who is absolutly terrified of competetive and dreads that purple number, that tells you how bad you really suck?  I played comp a few times and 2 times I actually turned on my mic, but my team was so freaking toxic everytime because I'm a girl lel. Never gonna turn on my mic for randos again, and because of that I kinda stopped playing comp altogether. |

Never gonna turn on my mic for randos again, and because of that I kinda stopped playing comp altogether. *raises hand* i played comp exactly once, and it was because i duo'd with a rando who i had good games with in quick play, and he took us into comp without asking. i was so mad, and also terrified, because i know how some dudes can be when they hear a girl (i'm sorry but i hate the whole grill meme it's so fucking stupid). the dude i was duo'd with kept railing at me to switch from ana to mercy (i'd never played mercy at that point so... lol i didn't wanna) and it was so annoying. so i stayed quiet, got it over with, and left when it was done (we lost lol). i'm sorry you had to experience that toxicity first hand, ugh.  just the thought of a guy hearing my voice and proceeding to shit all over me is enough to deter me away from it. |

I played competitive when it first came out and had a decent rank but you really need a steady team to do well at all. Also I know what you mean about the voice thing. I thought it would be funny to take a name of a female character. I have since learned it is best to be gender neutral in gaming situations. It is sad. In some games situations it is fine like MMOs but anything competitive like that... Not really a good idea. But screw them... I let my PotG speak for me.  |

I avoid voice chat all together even on competitive and then block receiving messages from strangers on PSN, that way you don't receive any toxic things. I would often get "switch?" messages lol. Like no, Symmetra is queen on temple of anubis defense, you crazy, I ain't switching. if your on console I would say give it a try without the voice chat, I got up to diamond without it, its not really that essential to voice chat, though it would be nice if people were not ridiculous. I also try not to take it too seriously cuz it can be discouraging sometimes when one loses on it, I just set my goal to focus on grinding the golden weapon. |

I let my PotG speak for me. yeah, you're absolutely right. i've got some friends near me who are getting into overwatch; when i've got better internet it'll be nice to team up with them. good communication is honestly what wins this game and i'm too scared to talk to most randos. hah! nice. it's honestly a great feeling when you're on a shit team but you still end up winning and getting potg.  |

I actually played first season and second season I think? Since those two shitty instances I got lots of messages telling me to turn on voice chat, but I always feel my stomach turn and try to ignore them. Comp can be super fun, but I only play it with two of my friends and even then I switch to quickplay/arcade after like 2 games. (rofl) I only play support or tank (mostly Reinhardt) on comp, because I'm too terrified for anthing else lmao. The thing is, assholes don't really get to me so much on Overwatch, it's just - once they start spouting shit it's going to make the whole team perform badly, because everybody is going to start to feel weird und uncomfortable. Ugh. I'll just stick to arcade and qp.  |

I am decent with D.Va, Lucio, Symmetra, but I am shit with every offensive character. My most offensive character I am good with is Junkrat.  |

I just shoot into the air, into windows... Actually I played Demo Man in TF forever. Once you get the arc down it's easy. Plus I love the panic when you roll that tire in. |

Especially mystery heroes because I can get to play characters I would usually get flamed for Masteroverwatch isn't really accurate about my winning rate anymore because of that lmao, I think my best heroes are:
Offense: Soldier and Reaper probably
Support: Love them all and play them so I don't really know
Tank: Reinhardt and Dva
Defense: Hanzo and Widow lmfao (I am actually starting to get kinda decent with both of them and it terrifies me. I almost never play them in QP anymore though, because I don't want to be ripped to pieces by my team.. Expect when I'm in a group maybe lel) |

Hahaha yeah, my friends hate temple of anubis for some reason, but I get excited every time it pops up lol. Now if someone takes Sym from me I do get pissed hahaha. I being play Junkrat more lately in comp to break those annoying strong shielded points, like for attacking volskaya I use him a lot now. I wish I was better with the tire though lol. I like playing from offensive Soldier the most as my most safe bet character. Reinhardt Im good with him but I can only be truly effective with a good lucio with me. If I need to fill a 2nd tank spot though I go with Orisa. I want to do more Hanzo in matches cuz I know I do great with him, but I feel I'm being judged from the other side of the screen hahahaha or sometimes the composition is pretty unbalanced to do so. |

I think my most played is between Roadhog and Lucio. I prefer support roles really, but i'll go tank if were looking too squishy, and my teams are almost always squishy. I really would like to get good with Zarya, cause i know she can be potentially devastating, but i never feel like i play her well enough to justify it. I'm pretty good with Mccree, but i'd rather play Zen. |

I usually just listen over mic but don't speak. and I hate the 'purple number'. I wish it wouldn't tell me my SR. I hate seeing it drop if I'm having a bad losing streak  on topic: I'm a 175 hour Mercy main so love Pharah/Mercy for a pairing, of course. I really like Sombra/Symmetra too, even though this Sombra kept destroying my damn shield generator in a quick play match yesterday. I was too busy micro-waving Genji to protect it (priorities). tbh, I like most of the more well known f/f pairings. |

Oh yeah, I love their voice actressess I did go after that Sombra a bit but I couldn't get her. However, when I played Sombra in another match, I get microwaved by Symmetra even though I thought I was invisible (I'm just not good at Sombra, tbh) Another Symmetra story from yesterday, I was playing Pharah and somehow fell off a cliff after destroying her Teleporter near the final checkpoint on the Gibraltar map. It was embarrassing. It was near an edge and she was there with her turrets, so I flew out away from all that but then ran out of fuel over the cliff with jump jet on cooldown. |

I sometimes ask if someone can switch to another healer or tank, it is not really a problem if they dont but normally on silver/bronze you lose without the 2-2-2. I can play almost any role just do not like Junkrat and Roadhog that much. Also I do not play with people I know comp, only quickplay and arcade. It does not affect me if we loose and I laugh a lot, most are not like that. |

I have a friend who gets super negative and starts blaming everyone but themself when they start losing, and another who isn't really that good at the game at all, so it seems clever not to play comp with some ppl you know. Then again, I can't tell them about that, I don't want to hurt feelings. |
