    Onboard graphics card? That's one big thing you should avoid when buying a laptop for gaming

    Truth, but this is a blizzard game and they love making their games compatible with any pc ever ever so it shouldn't be that bad.

    Gin Buckets i would do a bit of research on which graphics settings are pointless and can be turned as low as possible. at worst your fps should increase substantially, at best you stop having most of these problems.

    If it runs OK, great. But the on board graphics is always going to be a big limitation for gaming

    Fair enough, any way to fix it or will I have to stick with using this computer for non-FPS and it's original intention, work.

    It's for work (top priority), but was hoping I could use it for gaming as well. They said it would be fine at the store, for FPS', so I have no idea.

    That said, the auto render scale of 33% is the cause of the problem, and it looks like I'm playing the fucking original Wolfenstein. Even with an onboard graphics card, I know in my heart of hearts, that in the last 20 years the onboard cards must of have improved beyond these graphics.

    Could Wi-fi play an issue? If so, that's probably the culprit because I can make everything look great my mouse lag is just absurdly bad when I do that.

    nah, you are stuck with it. It's not a complete deal breaker, you just have to turn down the graphics settings.

    Wi-fi play, meaning streaming it to a TV or something? Yeah, that's probably going to make your lag worse.

    Youre pretty out of luck here; I could be pretty off base with this but I'm pretty sure this has power of somewhere around an Xbox 360.

    To get the absolute most out of this I'd set your display from Windows 10 to Windows 98 and look into overclocking. Although I wouldn't expect great results. Also do what someone else said and just lower all the settings down to either low or lowest.

    It's a whole different game after 3000 because you have decently smart teammates, it's a much much better game

    As a support main who has struggled to carry himself out of gold for two seasons, I hope you're right. That would mean if I can get there I should be able to stay.

    I play Zen Lucio and soldier 90% of the time but it's hard to carry on the low ranks with a healer. It's seems like it's more important just to get the right team comp honestly as far as ranking up, just filling in the team need so you have 2 attack 2 healers 2 tanks

    Shit, all you need to do to get through gold is kill without being killed but I can only seem to do one or the other, not both. I did have a good few days early in season 3 and went from 1600 to 2600 with zen but then i fell back to 2200 and stayed there.

    It's possible, but it's still easy to fall from there as well.

    The primary 3 keys imo are:
    A) Find a team/carry.... Not always possible, but if you use VC it should be easier to find a group to play with. There are also forums for finding a teammate.
    B) Ride out the win streaks for as long as possible. If you've won 5 straight, don't fucking go to bed. Everyone I know that hit 3k after a while got there in one of these situations.
    C) If you fucking lose 2 in a row, stop playing competitive immediately. One bad night can negate any progress you've made, and the big win streaks are hard to come by.

    No offense but i'm not going to do either b or c. If i'm playing like shit but still on a win streak i need to quit. If I have two straight matches of trolls, quitters, and junkrat mains but i'm playing well i'm not going to stop simply because of bad luck. It's a team based game. You and only you are responsible for win/loss <20% of the time. There's simply more to it than W/L.

    The problem is nothing more than ignorance at low levels. Defending at attacker spawns, not taking the high ground, poor ult usage, awful positioning, passive attacks, not understanding counters, solo missions, no communication, bad team comps, defending the point on koth. Literally anything people can do wrong is done wrong.

    However I am stuck here unless I buy a new account because I played so much dps early and my hidden mmr is abysmal.

    None taken, Odin

    That said, b and c are single handedly the biggest cause for swings in SR I've experienced and most people I play with have experienced. Sure, there are exceptions to these rules, but it's like gambling. It's probably not a good idea to continue to lose all of your money if you just lost most of it because of bad some shitty luck.

    95% chance we get a short and/or the new hero on ptr. After sombra bliz wouldnt tease like this for a hero that is still weeks away.

    Its been two weeks since bastion changes, which should be pushed live today for sure. Considering theyve made multiple ptr changes in one week before i dont see why they wouldnt do it now, especially with the changes theyve already made this last week.

    But i could definitely be wrong.

    I like to use her on a lot of koth stages. I cant aim for shit but keeping health packs locked down is so much more useful than people realize. I absolutely hate the "throw down teleporter, go annoy people, teleport to safety when health is low" approach to sombra.

    IMO, player skill at the gold and plat levels aren't much different from diamond (on console, anyway). I've seen a ton of diamond players who can't aim for shit. The big difference is less quitters and generally better team comp. Luck and winning streaks are a huge part of climbing unless you're just clearly on another planet, skill-wise, as your competition *cough* Super Vegeta *cough*

    Odin you should play on xb1 with us dude. MMR reset and a solid group to play with nightly

    how is horizon?

    took a bit of a blind leap and bought it but all the reviews i've seen say it is tight.
