No they're disabled. Sorry I'm not looking for advice thanks though; just venting how frustrating comp is, it's like QP is fine but jump into competitive and suddenly nobody wants to work to win, or talk, or anything.

I really like the comp games I always solo que, I guess I learned to live with my team mates on there.

I do seem to be struggling a bit with character choice this season, it placed me in diamond now my usual play style and characters just isn't cutting it.

Looking forward to briggitte joining the roster she is quite simple so I think I could play her well at the higher ranks.

With Brigitte and Moira both being healers that can also attack well, two healers on the team might become more common... I hope!

Mercy is still the most effective healer, IMHO, but she can be a bit boring to play.

Yeah moira definitely helped with the lack of people wanting to play heal.

There will probably be a lot more people wanting to play heal with briggitte as she is a lot of fun and being able to armour or heal people across the map is going to be very helpful.

So, after a 9 month break I've found a little time to pop back on. I've noticed my FPS has tanked and I'm seeing dips in the low 60-70s in team fights. Previously I could cap and hold my 142 frame limiter. Added to that I'm seeing frequent crashes 'Rendering Device Missing' and the like.

I've lowered some settings too no avail. The only real change is an updated nVidia driver and (enforced) Windows 10 update. I've ensured Windows 10 Game DVR is off and Fullscreen optimisation is off for Overwatch Nay good. I've disabled any/all overlay software elements.

I'm on a 4.6GHz 4770k over clock and a 980Ti Classified at 1.5GHz under water. Heat isn't an issue.
Is there something I'm missing or has the game just been updated to be significantly more resource demanding as of late?

I had some major performance issues a couple of weeks ago, but seems to be fixed after manually updating nvidia drivers to the latest version on their website.

Yeah, do this. I get issues with OW sometimes, it seems like every time there's a patch, you have to manually go and download the latest drivers from their website.

Uninstalled drivers, DDUed, disabled Network Adapter (Don;t trust Windows Device Install Settings) and reinstalled nVidia drivers. All sorted. Decided to replace Rivatuner with PrecisionX also whilst I was at it.

Sombra, s76, Symetra and Lucio voice actors all at Comicon Birmingham NEC this weekend.

Both my kids got to meet them today, Jonny Cruz (Lucio) was so enthusiastic!

Anyone feel like they are getting more duplicates from loot boxes recently? Last two boxes that I opened were all duplicates (i.e. all 8 items). Sux!

Okay so unless I'm being dumb is this right, just unlocked comp play, so done 3 placement matches thus far lost all of them but I'm in with level 100 plus players who have multiple stars etc, isn't it supposed to put me with similiar? Or is it cause I'm doing placement matches

It's because you're doing placement matches. Also, don't underestimate how clueless some level 200-300 players are!

Stars doesn't mean much as its just time played. You could have played 2k hours and still be in bronze. It should notice your losses and make your following matches easier. Its more about how we'll you do compared to others so a loss isn't the end of the world. I lost 8 of 10 this season and still placed mid masters.

Blizzard World feels like it is bigger that the other maps, and the games seem to go on for ages. Also, there seem to be more "corridors" either side of the main path, so everything gets more spread out if the team does not co-ordinate, and the last push inside the building is harder than others to complete. Generally a harder map for the attacking team compared to other escort maps, IMHO. It's not so bad when you learn the best character picks and map positioning.
