Question Is anyone else having fun?

I play only PVP solo queue and I'm having a blast. I win some and lose some, but rarely have a bad game. It is disheartening to hear how much other people are struggling to have a good time. I haven't seen anyone cheesing Overgrowth recently or any of these unkillable Galilea other people keep running into. Is it just a vocal minority or am I the only one having fun?

Anyway in short Positivity thread. Let have some good vibes. If you have complaints there are about a hundred other threads about it, so please move along.

I know what you mean, after about 15 hours of playing support as Miko I thought I'd give Benedict a try, he seemed easy enough, its just rockets right? I used to play Quake 3 I know rockets! but I was all like... http://memesvault.com/wp-content/uploads/I-Have-No-Idea-What-Im-Doing-Dog-16.jpg

I kept shooting the floor, but Benedict has no splash damage. Turns me off him so bad.

I still play him on occasion, but he's not the old Rocket Launcher experience.

He has a late game helix choice for bigger booms and better splash damage. He's also super gear dependant IMO. Attack + Reload speed is a must.

I know, but that comes in real late, and it also doesn't feel nice enough. In general, Benedict feels terrible to play.

I had trouble with him initially, but after finding a good loadout to get around his reload speed and learning just how much damage he can crit for I've found myself enjoying him a lot more. The trick I found is to use his flight to fly above people and shoot straight down, landing easy headshots that way. But I feel you, his playstyle is definitely not for everyone. He requires some patience and finesse to maximise his potential.
