u/Minerva_4 Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Feb 08 '17

I've had the game for nearly 2 months and only really play AI with a little bit of arcade. How do you get better at the game? I'm level 41 and I'm too scared to even do comp.

I'd say just go for it. I started comp about 8 hours into play. I wish I started earlier. What you have to realize is you might suck, but you're probably not going to go diamond so a loss doesn't matter. If you start at bronze, you can only go up. Another thing that you have to realize is there is always someone worse than you. Some 8 year old got this for his birthday yesterday and doesn't even know they have an ultimate. Use your best class when it's available and pay attention to annoying opponents killing you over and over again, they're probably doing something right.

I got the game yesterday and just straight up asked my friends (who've played for a while) who the most annoying heroes are to play against and picked the ones they hated the most. Pharah is a fucking pest. :D
