I remember when League of Legends reset all of it's ELO. You had diamond players in games with bronzes constantly towards the start. Sent shit crazy for a while.

Oh ai, and battletag Socraincha#2785 is anyone wants it


Just wait until you get a sudden death on Volskaya, Anubis or Hanamura and have to defend with 2 mins on the clock. Huge distance from spawn, no time to get a teleporter and almost every attacking team just charges a million tanks at you and wipes you from the face of the earth in 20 secs or so. They're not changing it until next season either :ugh:

Got myself to 51 in my placement games and haven't touched it since.

Just been fucking around with quick play because it seems a lot of the higher skilled players have stuck with competitive and quick play is a bit more chill.

I've had a few matches in Competitive, (not enough to get placed, yet) and tbh it's pretty hellish as a healer. No one fucking protects or helps you, but the opposing team is out for your blood HARD.

Very frustrating.

Reaper is the bane of my life. I need to practice him some more, I just got the pretty badass "Nevermore" skin.

Solo queuing for competitive as a healer is pointless, although I have had a few decent teams in solo queue most have the wins I have have required some major carrying effort on my behalf. Supports not only get hit the hardest, but they get the least reward currently even if they play amazingly which is bs.

Ranks are settling now though which is nice, and the XP bugs that dropped me multiple levels have been fixed too. Now to unleash my Symmetra plays on the competitive scene and all will be well (providing my team can shoot straight anyway).

Midnight stroll with my housemate grabbing some 'stops and 'mons, happen across 3 guys in the park also doing the same and discuss owning the gyms on the park. What a time to be alive.

Any idea what happens when you evolve Evee yet? Does it just randomise the evolution?
