That must be it.
In other news: Easy Rider, him diamond.
After placing in silver this season and then haphazardly, mostly drunkly bullshitting my way around competitive games for a while, I finally buckled down and got serious about it after being freed from a profitable, but soul-crushing, work contract landed me with enough free time to start killing it at the rate of multiple hours per day. It looked something like this:
Notable point include:
-Dec 1: Started auto-locking Moira every game, switched from only playing nights very drunk to mostly playing during peak hours, mostly just buzzed or warming up.
-Dec 8: Huge exception made; got hella drunk playing Mystery Heroes with Tirin, switched to comp afterwards and kept getting more drunk and playing more games till after 7:00 in the morning. Honestly, the SR drop was among the least of my regrets afterwards. Let's just say that December 9th was a really bad time for me, all considered.
-Dec 16: break 2900, plateau really hard. Grabbing that last hundred points took a disturbingly long time, yo. In the end, I even went far enough as to go completely teetotaler for comp at this stage.
...so anyway, I think I'm done with comp for this season now. Cause man, 60 hours of tryharding Overwatch is kind of a lot to take on in under a solid month.
Other observations:
-Boy, players in platinum SR sure do call each other "plats" a lot.
-I was wrong about how to use Coalescence, when I first talked about it earlier. After
extensive playtesting of the ability, I have concluded that saving it for huge clusters of people is rarely ever worth it, while popping the whole thing just to catch out and kill, in order of priority, the enemy Mercy, Pharmacy, other healers, or other DPS is almost always solid value. (You'll probably have the whole ult back by the time another team fight comes up anyway, which will generally mean using it for its other important function in objective-clearing value.)
