My Genji is getting better. But I rarely get to play him more to improve with him since there's almost never a time to play him in solo queue.
Still one of my least played characters. Usually just jump onto Reaper or Pharah when I want to murder healers.

By ZipSwitch88 Go To PostYea the time my team has done it/had it done to us is absolutely devastating, it's super rewarding when you pull it off. Had a similar situation at the end of Kings Row on payload. All though it is crazy how hectic shit gets when attackers and defenders do it at the same time, pure chaos.
Yeah i need to watch some pro matches. Gotta imagine this is a must strat for organized squads
So what's up with waiting in skirmishes before you find a game? The game puts me in empty lobbies, with zero enemy... It seems like everyone just leaves and they search for another. What should I do?

It will then sit at the main menu so you can open loot boxes and shit while you wait for the queue to pop.

By Tea Go To PostMust I continually run into trolling Meis, fucking hate that character now.If a mei casts wall in your own spawn she should get an insta week long ban
Fucking god damn dumbass meis on my team doing ice walls at dumb as hell times and or being purposely trolly. Wish that character was gone tbh.

I had a teammate kill me with it. On the Nepal control point in the village, I was Pharah hovering trying to clear the point and the mei used an ice wall under me and crushed me against the ceiling.
Mei is a cancer in this game. So annoying for both teams.
I don't know how I feel about the new character. The last thing this game needed was another stun.

Ana has way too much. A sleep, a healing boost/nullify heal and a damage buff
who thought this was ok?

Wow. I need to see her in the field, before I make snap judgements. Already theory crafting ways of creating omega nonsense with her though.
Pharah might actually live to use Justice with her mother nano-boosting her. lol. Matter of fact, with actual coordination, she probably cancels out Pharah's one true counter: Soldier 76. lol
edit: She has the best voice lines in the cast. lol
edit edit: She has zero mobility. Like...NONE. Unless she has sleep dart on deck, she's getting bodied by any assassin.

Some patch notes for the Play Test Realm (PTR): https://playoverwatch.com/en-us/blog/20178523#patchnotes
By Kibner Go To PostSome patch notes for the Play Test Realm (PTR): https://playoverwatch.com/en-us/blog/20178523#patchnotesCan't find anything that I don't agree with in the patch notes. Mercy being able to move during her ult is the best. Imagine zipping to your sniper that's across the way and activating your ult as you leave to get out of the danger and then dropping back into the fight as your team is back up. Really cool stuff.
I might give D.Va a better look now. I didn't like how her Defense Matrix worked. This is much better.
By ZipSwitch88 Go To PostI had a teammate kill me with it. On the Nepal control point in the village, I was Pharah hovering trying to clear the point and the mei used an ice wall under me and crushed me against the ceiling.I've had meis just put up an ice wall at the beginning of the game before we leave just to be assholes. I've had meis put up ice walls so that my bastion on a moving payload couldn't start digging into dudes only for all of them to be right in my face with full health just owning our team's ass. Had meis also freeze their dumbass selves right in front of my bastion, not only leaving me to fend for myself against foes but right in the fucking way of my gunfire.
Fuck meis.
By Dark PhaZe Go To Postcant wait for anaI'm a beast at close range, but feel like I'd miss too many shots at long range. She's great for giving a sniper a place on attack, but she probably doesn't work all that well with my play style.
Noscoping works surprisingly well with Ana.
The current PTR environment is no place to test more though. Every team is ragtag.
The current PTR environment is no place to test more though. Every team is ragtag.
Managed to actually get a couple of semi-coordinated games in the PTR. Ana is plenty of fun.
Her mobility is ass. She's a mid-long range "ground support", that can't use actual sniper vantage points. No double jump, hook, or wall-climb. If an assassin so much as breathes in your general direction, you are going to die...unless you're clutch with the sleeping dart. Tracer is like an auto-win on her. Widowmaker absolutely destroys her too.
I didn't get to test it, but theory should be that if you land the dart on someone, Widow should then be able to headshot them while they snooze. I don't know if it actually works or not though.
Dragonblade Genji with Ana's Nano Boost feels like you're playing Metal Gear Solid: Revengeance. I would expect it, whenever you see him on the same team as her.
Mercy got the obvious nerf to her ulti...but it will probably be felt more in competitive. Being able to move and use it is crazy useful though. Damage amping absolutely melts people now. It may or may not stack with Nano-Boost (someone said it did...dunno if that is true). If so, people really are going to have to learn to deal with Mercy (as they should have been).
McCree is not as nightmarish as he was before, but his sniping is really ridiculous again. Left clicks gone wild.
D.Va is fucking scary. Aside from actually getting kills with her ulti, she can zone out the opposing team and run in while it's still detonating, all the while cleaning up with her pistol. You can catch people off guard during the confusion. Her shield change is great.
She shouldn't. lol. A good Widowmaker is still a nightmare. Ana is hella free to her too.

By Tea Go To PostAna makes Widowmaker kind of redundant to me.

By Tea Go To PostAna makes Widowmaker kind of redundant to me.Ana doesn't have wallhacks, which is pretty important.
she's not a sniper, she's a support character that can snipe
its like saying solder76 is a terrible healer

Yeah but the way she's designed it'd still be best to get into spots where more people are visible like wall climbing, especially if she's support.
God damn I hate playing mother fucking Roadhog on Payload.
'Opponent near the payload, on the payload, behind the payload, under the payload, thinking about being by the payload, once dated a payload? Fuck you Hog, clip to the side.'

dont know if i can go in solo q anymore
the comps are just god awful most times--its really disheartening to know you've lost a match before it even began

Why on Earth should McCree get free kills off of head shots, just because he's got a pocket Mercy? PTR left clicks are fucking dumb as they are (even without the amp). Super Saiyan McCree is even stupider.
If this patch goes live, you might as well not even pick Pharah anymore.

The limit sucks big time, I'll play this game even less now.
I don't get the Soldier nerfs though, more recoil I assume?

And it helps McCree viable because as it is now, there's zero reason to use McCree over 76.

Ahh, damn scripthax :p yeah it's good that McCree is decent again with good players, to much pharah's in the air.
whats the mcree buff? people talk about range but weren't his shots already reaching pretty far? always thought it was a damage issue on his single shot personally
By Dark PhaZe Go To Postwhats the mcree buff? people talk about range but weren't his shots already reaching pretty far? always thought it was a damage issue on his single shot personally
They made his damage drop off waaay less, full damage on long range, slight drop off on extreme. Give McCree a Mercy for damage and you'll be sniping a plenty.
By Dark PhaZe Go To Postwhats the mcree buff? people talk about range but weren't his shots already reaching pretty far? always thought it was a damage issue on his single shot personally
In the PTR, as long as he isn't aiming at anything in the realm for Widow, he can do max damage at close, mid, and long range(they took off the damage fall-off for everything except extreme sniper range) . The biggest problem is, Mercy got a buff that increases her damage boost to 50% instead of the 30% it normally does. That means, he can kill any squishy character (that doesn't have a Sym shield) with a single headshot from damn near anywhere on the map. He doesn't need fan, roll, fan, because tanks won't be able to get near him, if he has Mercy (which he should in PTR). He's a CS character with a D.Eagle with infinite ammo.
Seems like the devs acknowledged that part of the fukkery already, and are nerfing Mercy's amp back to the ground, in the next PTR patch. Which leads me to wonder, what are they going to do with the her? The main reason they increased it again, was due to it being more effective to use her pistol to save yourself, then damage amp a team member. With the addition of Ana, Mercy players now have even more headaches to deal with, when trying to be effective.
I never thought that Mercy was in a bad place personally. McRee needed the buff, but it seems they've gone too far given the damage amp. With that gone though it seems like he'll be balanced.
Honestly, they should just buff the pistol and be done with it. I feel like the existence of hit-scan characters works against the balance in the utility of her damage amping being used as a means of escape. McCree is the current best case of it being utterly broken and Widow was before.
Self heals increasing Ulti charge doesn't compensate for the big nerf to her charge time (even if it needed to take a hit), imo. So now, I'm going to be forced to sit on a rez even longer than before and have to out-think literally everyone playing, while worrying about the assassins, four snipers, and a character that can take my protection out of the game for a handful of seconds, as well as stop one third of my game-plan at will?
It's a team game, so I practice all of the supports to begin with, but I liked Mercy the most. Kind of annoying that you can't even realistically rely on Guardian Angel or a Tank to protect you, like you could before. lol.
Ana is tons of fun though. She's probably some of the most fun that I've had with the game.

Mercy is the only character in the game that I legitimately hate.
Only thing truly 'broken' in Overwatch is Mercy's ult charge and the fact that it's fucking instant cast. Fuck your Widow bodyshots and McCree FTH combo.

and it's far from broken.
And Hanzo's status seems completely fubar with the next patch. McCree can outsnipe him mid to long range and headshots are going to be even harder to get which will hurt his area denial. Which is already the only thing he really has going for him over Widow.
eh hanzo can get elevation and has some speed to him, plus the vision arrows are super good
there's something kind of fundamentally strange about McRee's utility in general--he feels slower yet less powerful than pretty much any tank. hope this buff helps

On the flip-side, Hanzo being able to head-shot with no aim what-so-ever needed fine tuning. The hit-boxes of those arrows were the size of skyscrapers. I don't know what they should do to balance him better though.

Kibner...that last game. I needed that extra bit of health he got in the PTR. My Q popped up literally a second before the last missile hit us. I died right before Transcendence could activate. FeelsBadMan :(
Work stuff has been in the way, for the past week.

By data Go To PostAlso, feel like none of yall mother fuckers are on anymorefinally got a job after waiting months.
also just got kinda bored of the game but i guess that's because I was barely on whenever slaent was on so I'd usually have to solo, which means being support. only so much mercy/lucio i can play
