Seeing an El Dragon clothesline away and get caught on my Alani bubble in the middle of the charge was pretty neat.

Was playing el dragon on paradise. I clothes lined through a Miko(killing it) ground pounded a rath, en fuegoed him then beat him to a pulp. Then a ran over to a thorn and stun splashed and proceeded to melt her.
Was playing a rath and was chasing an orendi into the sniper perch wall on overgrowth. Proceeded to kill her and an invisible pendles I did not know was there
My best was an Ambra quad kill with ult while healing my team. I pushed them all into it and even caught the Pendles. Otherwise, walking up to Miko and Montana and Thorn and one shotting them all was fun.
I got a triple kill with Montanaās big payback while taunting.
Mansformation + hailstorm while pushing the back sentry on Echelon, then as the timer went down lumberjack dash into a crowd and taunt before the explosion wiped everyone out.
Can I post an opposite of epic play?
Super hard fought monuments match.
I was Montana.
I was lucky enough to do 7 damsge to their sentry via the Backdoor In the first few minutes.
They did a sneaky marquis / Pendles combo while we pushing a bit later and brought out sentry down to 94 and then, after essentially a stalemate, finally coordinated a full team / minions Attack and brought our sebtry down to 66.
Immediately after this I solo the double Thralls, sneak them into their base, and take out their sentry.
At this point, with 5 minutes and 33 seconds left, I plug my mic in and urge my team to āPlease, guys, play hard defence!ā as they had a much higher score than us.
We all fall back to sentry area, take up defensive positions
30 seconds later - ALLY HAS LEFT THE MAP!
We put up a good fight but got overwhelmed and killed.
IāM STILL ANGRY!!!
Had a match with a really bad teamā¦I mean, really bad. They didnāt go for thralls, clear minions, build, grab shardsā¦work as a teamā¦they just played a team deathmatch on Monuments, and failed miserably. I was Orendi, and was actually trying to push the objective and protect ours. The other team CONSTANTLY had their pre-made Marquis and Montana backdooring our sentry.
After I hit level 5, every time they attempted it, I destroyed them, even when they were together.
Also had an enemy Benedict who liked to jump to our high ground and try to take out the sentry up there. So I enjoyed some cooked turkey.
Ended losing the match cause I couldnāt keep the minion waves off, stop Benedict, and stop Marquis and Montana all on my own.
But, I did end up with 20 kills, 3 deaths, and 6 assists.
Had the least deaths, most kills, and shy three minion kills of most minion kills on both teams.
The rest of my team ended with double digit deaths and a grand total of 7 kills between the four of themā¦and less minion kills than I put together.
But I ā ā ā ā ā and taunted the ā ā ā ā out of Marquis and Montana.
This was an epic play and an equally epic fail (or just horrible luck)ā¦ I had a crazy Incursion game with both teams sporting full CR 100 players and some Master charactersā¦ it was high octane right from the get go as we traded kills back and forth - no turtling, no wave clear, it was just kill or be killedā¦
the game was fast approaching the 30 min mark and our sentry scores were tied with 50-50 with the average player score pretty evenā¦ during the 28th min they made a mighty push killing 4 of us in the process and had their sights set on our inner sentryā¦ I somehow managed to sneak out of that sticky situation ( i was on Deande), got healed up from the spawn and was ready to defend the inner sentry against 4 enemiesā¦ as they started to bash at our sentryās shield, i quickly took out the low health Rath with a burst dash, decoyed out and lured the remaining enemies into attacking the clone while i positioned myself behind them for Blinkstormā¦ My ult caught all 3 of them and did some nice damage with the sentry also dishing out some serious damageā¦ after the ultās duration all 3 were dead and i stood there like a Boss, having defended the sentry single handedlyā¦ my team was praising me on the mic and in the chat as the game ended in the next few seconds with the sentry scores at 50 - 50ā¦ i was so happy and satisfied having pulled out one of my best games on Deande ( i went 19-3 something ) and was eagerly waiting for the victory screenā¦ but what i saw was āDEFEAT. 50 - 50. LOSS BY AVERAGE PLAYER SCOREāā¦ 
i was baffled as I was pretty sure we had a tiny lead on them on average player scoreā¦ then i looked at the final scoresā¦ it was 190 - 191ā¦!!! turned out we were behind on average player score and whatās worse is that I was awarded only one kill of the 3 enemies who died at the end and got assists for the other 2ā¦ i was stunned that i lost the game in such a wayā¦ my own sentry screwed meā¦ 
I laughed it offā¦ it was without a doubt one of the most enjoyable games iāve had in a long timeā¦ Even the defeat felt satisfyingā¦

Oh man you get all my feels! Those are the games worth playing. Where no matter who wins at the end of it you legitimately have the words āgood gameā for your opponent cause they played awesome and you played just as awesome

I played 4 matches a few days ago where I was in a party of 3 and just stayed with the other 2 players cause we were doing pretty solid.
The first 2 games one of the guys snap picks Alani and turns on her master skin. We all play and things go fine. On the 3rd match though the same guy snap picks Alani again with the master skin. It was at this point I said āalright if we are breaking out mastersā¦ā Picked my el dragon and gave him el rudo. My miced up friends pick OM and galilea both of which were there own masters.
Then we wait on our 5thā¦ He takes his timeā¦ Andā¦ BOOM! Master Reyna skin!
We rolled that match and loaded up one more. Same dude snap picks master Alani. I go master Montana then my 2 friends go master phoebe and master rath. And our 5th goes master ambra. We rolled that match too
I can only imagine the level of demoralization in seeing a full master team comp but god damn was it satisfying to pull off!
Again, out of likes for the day.
But the epic and amazing stories you guys just described is why NO ONE SHOULD EVER LEAVE A MATCH!
The group I play in is getting to the point where even if they pick random they end up with a mastered character lol
Itās kinda intimidating picking new people up sometimes. Like I been trying to ghalt but I just dunno if I really feel him. Same thing with OM. I want to try thorn or orendi but I am worried I wonāt be able to hit with thorns bow well or just not get the hang of landing SFP. There a lot of days where I am worried I am hitting my peak of characters I can use efficiently :.(
Double XP weekend has been kind of a disaster for us in terms of win/loss due to this.
We keep picking new or underused heroes weāre not familiar with, while the other teams all seem to want to run their masters, and weāve gotten crushed a few times as a result.
But hey, we got our XP!
And less people whining about ruthless premades perhaps?
So the thing about double exp weekend for me is since I am CR100 I am just leveling characters. And the way my mind works is that since I have a character at max level I should try to play them significantly less since I am not getting loot packs or trying to expand my repertoire of characters to cover the needed roles with a variety of guys.
I picked ambra and whiskey back up recently after the update and am having crazy amounts of fun!! But I am closing in on that mastery title too fast for my liking :ā¦(
Yeah weāre all 100 and levelling new characters too.
So when all five of us do it we sometimes get crushed.
Itās pretty funny though.
Iāve sort of been trying to level my most hated so I donāt have to use them as much in future, but then discovered I actually really like Toby.
I canāt speak to consoles but on PC a large chunk of the regular PvPāers are quite good at this point. So besides the intimidation factor itās just hard to cold start a new Battleborn in that environment. Fortunately, GBX was insightful enough to provide PvE and private PvP modes. I use them to unlock at least a few mutations to get a sense of where the character is heading so I have a decent understanding of their kit and potential gear requirements before taking them into public PvP.
The other thing I do is when Iām in a premade I use it as an opportunity to onboard my new Battleborn (i.e., Pendles 
) because I can depend on my teammates to pick up the slack if Iām under performing. And even if we lose no one is going to hold it against me for trying out a new Battleborn. So if you havenāt made any friends to team up w/ on a regular basis I recommend that you do. An easy place to do that is the Unofficial Battleborn Discord server. If you are on Steam you can hit me up too but my GPU just died so I wonāt be playing for at least a couple weeks.
Thorn has become my current flavor of the month. I was in a Meltdown match on Paradise, right? Iām running along, an arrow for this head, an arrow for that head, you know: the usual. I notice an enemy Ambra and Pendles near where the center stinger turret is, and theyāre both low on health. So I ready up Volley, jump and shootā¦
I was aiming for Ambra since she was lower in health. My Volley misses her, but instead hits Pendles in the face and he dies. It was great.
