Let's get this group going already  ^-^

I'm down, Pikly#1582. I usually play evenings around 7:00 PM to whenever.

Here's my Overbuff: https://www.overbuff.com/players/pc/Pikly-1582

As you can see, I'm a bit of a support main; though I can play heroes in each class fairly well.

Beanhead#11151

Here's my Overbuff:

https://www.overbuff.com/players/pc/Beanhead-11151

Lot of hours on Genji, but I mostly only play him in quick play. I've been playing a lot of Soldier and Roadhog in competitive, but I can play a few different heroes. Would love to be able to consistently go in with a stack of players.

This season has already been rough, getting paired with a lot of people who don't fully grasp the whole team thing.

Really hate to blame doing bad on "elo-hell" and stuff but man I feel like I've been in a rut recently. I don't blame it all on my teams as I'm sure there are many times where I myself have played badly, but it sucks to lose because your team is so unwilling to switch to a tank/support (~2600 elo). I really enjoy playing Mei, but rarely get the chance cuz you gotta play boring stuff like Zen. :blank:

Turned my mouse sensitivity way down and now I'm doing far better with the precision characters.

Huh.

I too made the switch to low sensitivity. The learning curve is fairly steep if you were a high sensitivity gamer for a long time. What is your in game sensitivity and mouse DPI now?

I'm not slip84, but I switched to low sensitivity a while back. Currently I'm at 1600 DPI with 2.5 in game (effectively the same as 800 DPI and 5 in game). Aiming with low sens feels a lot better, more room to make adjustments when tracking and flicking.

I'm on a 2000 DPI mouse (Logitech G5 - won't ever give it up as long as it lives!) and I'm on like 12 or 13 sensitivity. Might drop a bit more, still.

hey guys thinking of streaming this game when i'm bored, just wanted some opinions on if these stream settings are watchable? been experimenting a lot, my 2500k can't handle 264 encoding while playing the game at 150fps. So far this has worked the best for me (or I could do 48fps, or I could drop down to 120hz if I really wanted to do 60fps), but idk how it looks for the viewer.

that's what i'm using but even with a 1080 i've been getting some trouble with my settings keeping above 144 fps. even in that video it drops and the quality isn't spectacular. but 30 fps is awful to watch

maybe i shoulda put this in the streamer thread

probably by the end of the month, seasons are usually 3 months long

however it might be worth noting that placements for each season aren't believed to be "fresh", ie it's still based upon your existing SR
