Mei needs some love but not near as much as Bastion and Torbjorn and it's not her ult that needs it. She needs to be able to lock Tracer d own and it's idiotic design that she can't. Her freeze should slow Tracer's blink and recall. Tracer shouldn't be able to just go 'nah I don't want to'. I get that it can be a difficult balance keeping Bastion and Torbjorn from dominating at lower levels/solo queue while still making them viable, but they're in such bad spots. But its' Blizzard and they don't know balance, they only know extremes and always have. It's why people are going back to Brood War. Their happy accident.
I haven't really had issues getting headshots with projectiles since the hitbox nerf so I doubt i'll notice the change much with Torb/Mei/Hanzo whoever.

By Moris Go To PostPlaying with randoms is hellWelcome to my world because I'm constantly playing at hours reasonable people are asleep.
By Rob Go To PostDefense characters in general fucking suck in this game. You watch pro teams and on defense they still pick offensive heroes. Widowmaker doesn't even seem to get picked much anymore.
Widow is in this space where you have to hit trick shots, especially at a pro level, to make her useful. By trick shot i mean, grapple up to a high point, but don't sit on a ledge, just naturally fall back down. And during the rise / fall you need to come up with a kill or 2.
She's only really used to try and break a dead lock, to allow for a push onto a point. Which a zenyatta ult does better for the most part. And most pro-teams know where the "trick shottable" area's are, and when they know you have a widow, they don't stand there.
But yeah, I'm with you on mei. Her iceblock is just... it's weird with the rest of her set. Slowing tracer down would be nice, but could be too hard of a counter if done wrong.
Genji was over nerfed. They have to give him back his combos and triple jump.
Mei ult is ridiculous.
get PC fam.

Lmao at that Genji nerfs, this game keeps getting shittier, also a Hanzo buff incoming? F'n Blizzard
everyone acting like genji won't be buffed within a few months, maybe even weeks.
tracer probably gets nerfed next since she's pretty similar, and then genji will get buffed because "we found we nerfed him too hard and no one was using him"

widows kit needs an overhaul
Should have replaced venom mine with a 7 second invisibility so she can dodge of trouble upon being caught. The venom mine has almost no utility.
But with the way she is now she absolutely deserves the pre-nerf damage she was doing.

Widowmaker is a high skill hero. Headshot or GTF0. Mei is the queen of control point. Need to extend overtime with Winston or tracer? Ice wall clockblock. Same with her heal but in reverse...prolongs your durability so that the other team has longer to cap.
Defensive heroes are hybrid offensive tanks IMO.
Znenyetta orb amp dmg reduced, so maybe I can play Pharah again.
As a Mercy main, meh about the health increase amp. I think she's fine. Being able to move after ult is all I wanted.
Gibraltar first point removal is lol. I wonder if they will extend the time to cap at the door.
RIP Roadhog and his hooking me through walls.

no one needs invis in this game.
ever.
invis will ruin this into a shitfest.
Sombra will likely be invis though
which is terrible if the next hero is another flanker. Something the game doesn't need in its current state.

It was that or turn her into a true hybrid and buff her amp damage. Which no one wants.

people love to speculate but i've never seen anything concrete.
Fuck invis heroes. So many games ruined / wasted because of them.
Just know Blizz is gonna add some invis and instead of getting rid of or nerfing stuns hand out even more to every class. Can't wait to spend games just immobile af.
People speculate invis because there's a voiceover for how she can see them but they can't see her
I thought I remember something about her being intel based, instead of invis maybe she has some motion sensors that ping nearby enemies

wallhacks/radar might be worse than invis. please no more.
Reaper has a datamined voice log that's something like, 'I can't see you but I know you're here' referring to Sombra.
I think a camo unit that is invisible when not taking any action but kind of blurred is an idea. But they can't have a Spy like class in Overwatch. You'd be too easy to pick out with only 6 heroes on a team.
If anyone should have recon abilities ITS FUCKING BASTION IN HIS FUCKING RECON MODE

Completely ruins everything. Absolute shitfest.
By Rob Go To PostSometimes how they choose POTG is hilariousMy fav's are the torbs. Where he's dead so you see no thing but his corpse. While the turrent gets 3 kills on the other side of the map.
By Trey Go To PostI never really see people die to his ult these days. Guess folks wised up.People are better at dodging ults in general. Tyou can't really jsut spam them anymore. YOu really need to time them / place them well.
Also helps having D.va around a bit more and her shield being useful. Every highnoon / visor activated / die die die she just blcoks it all.
Actually had a mcree quit the other day. He ulted and i D.va boosted towards him with shields up. Was hillarious.
I got kills with my ult last night using Reaper
gfycat.com/ThoughtfulCriminalAustraliankelpie
I started using D. Va way too late though, it's like impossible to get a kill with her ult.

I mean, it's fairly obvious they're copying TF2 game mechanics and they need a spy with invisibility. Sombra is that.
Rob, D.Va's ult is super effective. Play it like Reaper's ult, come from the back, choose your angle, get it moving forward then jump out.
Also, kills are not all, even with that ult. Think about time won and space control. D.Va is OP.
Enjoying playing Hanzo while I can. Getting them POTGs and gold medals pre-buff
Because xxHanzoxx is fixing to take that shit away from me

With the change to DVa's defense matrix, I think it's time the game added a 'No for real, you ain't got a tank' option when Roadhog is the only tank in the group.

reinhardt is the best pure tank in the game. roadhog is swiss cheese if he misses his hooks.
DVa is still much more than a very capable tank for someone who knows when to time the matrix. I don't see how Roadhog can be viable in competitive to be honest, by comparison. DVa is a must in my opinion, she towers over so many characters (McCree, Hanzo, etc).
I just did my 10 competitive matches on the PTR, 2 hours with DVa, 30 minutes with Lucio (which probably brought my rating down).
Platinum III, 2772 SR.
I think that's in the top 8% of players.

DVa is a must in my opinion, she towers over so many characters (McCree, Hanzo, etc).You don't see Roadhoag as your primary tank, but a lot of off tank with him. The ability to hook someone and kill them is HUGE in pro. just being up one player can guarantee a push.

The rankings system is absolutely broken for support players by the way. One of the teammates I was with was ranked 2110orso, which means we can't even queue together anymore. I like to play Lucio/Zen, but Lucio players are getting screwed. No one will want to play healer now. It should be the other way around. They really need to fix it before it gets out of the PTR, otherwise it's going to be super messy.

Any class based game really sucks at tracking how good a support player is, and rewarding it, versus how good a damage dealer is.

This is the truth. Hanzo is a couple of steps away from being Hit-scan. lmao
My Sam's Club Hanzo was getting a ton of kills; even on Tracer. I am terrible with him and don't use him at all. Now...shittttttttt.

No character in this game attracts more trash than Ana. Not Hanzo, not Genji, not Reaper, not Tracer, not Widow. Ana. Ana not only attracts the trash but highlights the trash
By data Go To PostNo character in this game attracts more trash than Ana. Not Hanzo, not Genji, not Reaper, not Tracer, not Widow. Ana. Ana not only attracts the trash but highlights the trashI think the problem is Ana either feels really effective. Or really bad. There seems to be little in between.
I'm catching up on the todays matches of the Atlantic Showdown. Rogue using Junkrat on Temple of Anubis and having success with it.
Weird, who knew it was possible to win using more than just the same 9 characters...

even when I have amazing games with her my stats look like ass--silver healing, very low damage numbers, no medal eliminations--but she's my go to support on attack modes.
So, I haven't been around for a couple weeks. Please let me know (via links) what I should add to the OP.

Her ult is the ultimate "go have fun" skill in the game. And she seems to have it up all the time.
