It only updates whenever someone looks at your profile. So if you haven't ever looked at it before, that's your first data point.

- Thread starter Ravenpoe
- Start date
I did look at it before.
But it was back in (or before?) season 1, so there's probably also some kind of inactivity timer involved.

It gets wiped each new season, too. Or at least, it has so far, given that we're only in season 2. It might have been wiped because the rating scale changed. Dunno.
Played enough to get my lvl95 loot box tonight.
Cool! Double legendary! I wonder what I'll...
OK THAT'S ENOUGH ALREADY HOW ABOUT SOME VARIETY
@redthirtyone - That's the third time I've gotten that skin. Maybe I want at least one of the other ones, too?

I hate to be that guy, but she's just someone wearing a one-piece. The Mercy one is cool as one of the outfits, that took work, but this seems like the equivalent of me putting on a cowboy hat and saying I'm dressed as McCree.
I don't think it is the effort in designing it that impresses them

You're right, she should just take it off.
In that case
You guys, check out this gender swap young Reinhardt at the beach cosplay!

Overwatch counterteam generator:
https://acreativeghid.github.io/OW/
Put in the enemy team, the current map, and the desired meta, and it tells you how to build your team.
Not sure I believe it, though at least it tells you to make a damn balanced team

Dang, someone beat me too it.
I've been playing the "counter" game a lot lately (especially in QP) and having noticeably > 50% success with it, even when it forces me to pick a character I have well under an hour's experience with. I wanted to do something similar, but it looks like someone else had the same idea and the time & talent to do something about it.

I have to admit though, Zarya has been a pretty reliable counter to my Roadhog. The damn barriers stop hooks, and even if I catch her, she can easily shrug off a point blank shrapnelblast and run away for a few seconds while her personal shield regenerates, then come back and continue to make my life miserable.[DOUBLEPOST=1477939048,1477938600][/DOUBLEPOST]But yeah, sometimes this counter generator is full of crap.
I put in our usual build on eichenwald (Roadhog, Mercy, Reinhardt, Pharah, Ana, Reaper)
And it didn't recommend a hitscan counter. No McCree, no soldier. Instead, it says to counter us, the other team should go Roadhog, Genji, Tracer, Zarya, Ana, Mercy.
Now, if I change our Ana to Lucio, THEN it takes out Genji and puts in a McCree. Because McCree is a Lucio counter??

The race to 144 fps is on!
I remember back in the days of CRTs, I couldn't stand to use anything lower than 85 hz, and preferred 100. LCD screens made 60 hz refresh rate acceptable because it didn't have the phosphor flicker, and back then, few games updated at faster than 30fps anyway.
But now I'm wondering if I shouldn't push the limits of my new GTX 1060 by getting a 144 hz screen... A 27 inch 144hz 1080p monitor is about 300 bucks, and I've spent that much on a CRT before (it's massive, still on the floor in my computer room because I can barely lift it).

Make sure it has whatever version of variable sync your monitor supports for extra goodness.
Also here's a tip for the next time you play Roadhog, served with about 3tbsp of salt.

Huh, I'll have to try that "sidestep away" trick. Reaper and Ana are infuriating about that.
And I'm often guilty of opening with the hook, I'm trying to work on shoot-hook-shoot though.
