General
I've avoided them. I played plenty of singleplayer ones over the years. Medal of Honor back before everyone got sick of WWII, CoD from the original up to Modern Warfare 2, All the Halos. But I never played online much. The original reason was shitty, shitty internet. In high school, we had dial-up, which was awful, and later satellite which was better but had bad latency. So playing online just wasn't an option. Meanwhile, my peers were playing CoD all day every day, honing twitch gaming reflexes that make them annoying as fuck to play against, especially on PC.
Enter Overwatch. I liked the characters, and the usual Blizzard polish. So for some reason I bought the PC version, against my better judgment. I then played it maybe once. Against bots. Then never touched it again. Later
started streaming her matches on Xbox One, and said I should buy that version. I did, again against my better judgment (Judgment is a fucking stupid word, btw). This time I played several times over the course of the week. And then never touched it again. And then I didn't renew my Gold subscription because money.
And then Achievement Hunters decided to play a lot of Rainbow Six: Siege. Now, R6 was one of my old favorites. I played Rogue Spear a lot. I liked the tactical aspect, and Siege seemed to do a good job of bringing that into a modern game soooo I bought it because I'm dumb. I've actually been playing it almost every day. It's extremely unforgiving, but something about the tactical approach keeps me going. Often I'm one of the first people dead, but I've also been the mvp on more than one occasion. It can be frustrating, but it's a game that you can still get make progress in as you learn the maps and figure out how to cope with enemy tactics.
Then last night I was watching stream Overwatch again. I was cleaning up to move, so naturally I procrastinated, and started downloading the Xbox and Overwatch updates in the meantime. They let me join them for a few rounds afterward. I was expecting to suck, because that's my default assumption, but I guess I did alright. I didn't get any Plays of the Game, and we lost a couple matches, but I got some kills in. Apparently I managed to suck little enough that I'll be allowed to play again sometime

You rock at Mei, and I don't say that to many people. Cause the majority are cringy as fuck or piss me off.
Like for real. You ice wall at the perfect time and it usually saves my stupid ass because I will kamikaze in there if I am given the chance.
Take as many of them out with me that I can. I am lethal as baby d.va
Probably more so than actually in tank form haha.
Same with Chrome. So if you were just winging that, you winged it perfectly at the most strategic times.
The ice wall helped me a lot. It really helps when enemy mei's aren't good at it so they pin themselves behind the wall and all I have to do is walk above them and just shoot down and kill them.
You didn't do that, you were very good with survivability and you handled the hero very well.
Especially for a level 5 playing against people who were slotted in because of Chrome being a 1 star and me being 84-85.
So give yourself more credit, you were amazing!
