By Trey Go To Postif you have gold damage as symmetra, you're playing symmetra wrong and your teammates are trash.nah, I've locked down areas of the map with sentries and people kept running into them letting me get free damage and kills while also shooting orbs at Reins
Yeah for people getting tons of damage as Sym I'd actually say it's the opposing team that's trash for not shooting down sentries.
I mean... Playing Symmetra to protect A, okay, I'm not a fan (means we play without Zen's orbs), but okay... But keeping her for the last hold is counterproductive. Her TP is pretty much negated.

Defending the objective isn't hard but somebody's gotta do it.
Edit: under normal circumstances I would switch but I did not see how we were going to win that game. I was content to take the L. Like a scrub or out of spite.
In my last placement match, a teammate disconnected immediately. Reminds me of my pre-4K DotA days
By DY_nasty Go To PostThis has turned into the League of Legends of FPS.That's basically what any game with a ranking system and roles to fill turns into.
By Gabyskra Go To PostIn competitive, 567th DVa out of 58k on overbuff. Getting crazy in here.There are a lot of bad D.va's
But i find there are more bad roadhogs. Or worse, people who think roadhog + winston == 2 tanks.....
Watching this GosuGamers Weekly right now and during Rise Nation vs Tempo Storm, TS went 3 tanks/3 support and just ran over Rise in the final game
I must be in some alternate universe because casters complaining that people are going to start copying the meta but the whole overwatch competitive scene is running the same comps and hoping you have the better players.

Yeah, lately I've been thinking that Lucio Zen / Reinhardt Zarya / DVa Winston would be viable. DVa and Winston can be the flankers/DPS, they're very mobile. I would love to try 2 support / 4 tanks.
I think Ana is crucial to the 3 tank/3 support setup unless you mean in just matchmaking. They were using Lucio/Ana/Zen/Roadhog/Zarya/Winston (or Rein) and the only real DPS was Roadhog until Ana ult'd someone.
She builds up her ult way too fast in a competitive setting, and even faster when it's 3 tanks since they have more health for her to heal. I don't know who figured out how broken she was and how to implement it but I love that person. This is what happens when you experiment with new shit instead of just copying another team.
It's fun seeing all these pros stream and them complaining about Ana and how they knew she was broken the whole time. Yeah? She was so broken you guys kept using a Lucio/Zen combo and never picking her except on stage 1 of Dorado? Yeah, you clearly knew how effective she could be..

Oh, I understand the 3/3 setup, I'm just saying I'm interested in a 2/4 setup that's closer to the 2/2/2 philosophy. My impression might be biased since my experience is so tilted in favor of DVa (I think DPS players suck because that's what newcomers like to try first), but I think it can work with the right mindset.
We're getting some strategical diversity now, that's cool.
A lot can work, as long as you have a solid Lucio/Rein backbone. When I queue with 2 other people, we kinda always go Lucio/Zen/Rein...

Would that work though? Seems like too much healing for Zen/Lucio.
Didn't even know it was possible to get POTG as Mercy without ult

Increased my SR by about 400 so far on the back of my Zenyatta and duoing with my buddy. At around 2650 SR now.
That's great, the playstyle changes a fair bit between 2250 and 2650, games are much more fun and smart.
I'm at 2842, thanks to DVa and McCree...

Yeah, scratch what I said.
Eichewald, 2700 or so game, queueing with a friend who's around 2500.
Some guy who played Reinhardt in the first round takes his time picking his character.
We're in position already, defense, waiting for his decision, guessing he'll keep Rein. We have Lucio / Zen / Roadhog / McCree / Mei.
He picks Symmetra.
In a 2700 SR game.
We get wiped.
He justifies it by saying 3 supports is the new meta. Yeah but the new meta is also 3 tanks, not 1. And not Symm.
FML.
I just hate the selfishness of people who then say "it's just a game, you're not professionals" when they're caught fucking around.

Yeah, me and my buddy lost Eichewald in a similar fashion. We got a Symmetra who wouldn't switch until after they got the second point. He "wanted to die first" before switching. We only had a single healer at the time so that really didn't work out well.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, was in a game we won where I had over 20k damage as Zenyatta, but didn't even medal with it. That was fun.
They should just default to random hero or something if they're going to keep putting out these lame as hell brawls
By Phoenix RISING Go To PostThe Symmetra hate on here is disturbing.She is easy to neutralize on PC at certain skill levels.
By Phoenix RISING Go To PostThe Symmetra hate on here is disturbing.symmetra is godlike on Hollywood and Hanamura defense
Hate? She's not viable past a certain skill level. She just is not, sorry. I wish she was. The game isn't perfectly balanced.
Also, if she fits into a lineup, no problem, we can work around her to some extent, but if you're last to pick and there's only one tank and there's already 2 healers, don't pick her. It's simple mechanics.
Overwatch is really testing my optimism on people understanding the importance of consent and cooperation.

she's next
man i try not to 'pb master race' it up but whenever people are talking balance changes and shit on the other forum and slip out that they play on consoles it's like 'settle down, grown folks are talking'

I have to resist the urge, too. But just balance the two platforms differently, it's pretty simple. Console zarya prolly just needs an auto aim nerf. Get to 100 charge and let the game do the aiming for you.
By data Go To Postshe's nextsymettra can be used on consoles because lol aim

Had the worst run of QP games last night. Nothing but straight trolling trash for about 15 - 20 games in a row.
Really makes it hard to load the game up again.

I haven't picked it up in a while but from the sounds of it little to no content has come forth and its stale. /shrug
By Tea Go To PostI haven't picked it up in a while but from the sounds of it little to no content has come forth and its stale. /shrugQP has just become a shitfest. It's almost impossible to get a good game.
To get a good game you need to play competitive. And it's just hard to commit that time sometimes.
And even then i'm top end of gold atm, and it's frustrating that players in this bracket still don't know how to break into hanamura/valskya/Hollywood and now eichwendale's first point chokes. They just pick a reinhardt and spend 3 minutes trying to "out shoot" the enemy instead of picking much more agile / mobile heroes and forcing the defending team to bend and react to you coming from multiple angles.
I also think the new map is p.bad. The second phase is really trash.
Sym can be used on PC but not all the time, which I understand. I wish people knew that other characters were available. Getting shit on by a Pharah? "Yeah my Junkrat and Mei are just fine."
She's really only useful on defense and then on top of that only on capture maps which there's like 3 total. Granted I seem to be stuck at at 2500-2650ish range but the few times I get Hollywood or Hanamura my team has yet to give up capture point A.

I think to warrant a Sym being used at all you have to actually put in work with her primary. On console you can just outdance people because aim is shit.
Her turrets are scaring no one past a certain skill level

So many pub players are bad at understanding how to take those first points. It's depressing as fuck when you're playing support but all anyone wants to do is piss around on one side of the choke.
By data Go To Posti guess none of yall played tf2 if you think there's been 'no content'
By data Go To Posti guess none of yall played tf2 if you think there's been 'no content'I did. I stopped playing when TF2 brought in a million hats and mod'd guns and stuff.
I'm ok with no "content".
I mean, i played dota for years too.
Why, on "the well" on illios are people so determined to sit in, and go through, only the one single choke point.
Follow up question, why are people so determined to pick immobile heroes when you're stuck IN that choke point.
Played Zenyatta on that map and got gold on all categories, except damage where i was silver. With a Reaper, McCree, Genji on the team. And my Zenyatta SUCKS.

The well is both the most open space and also a choke point.
I miss the days of beta Zenyatta. Sick of seeing him.

By Phoenix RISING Go To PostThe well is both the most open space and also a choke point.A choke point? It's the hill. It's what you fight for. Not a choke point. Are we talking about the same thing? The big hole under the mill?

That's the well.
And everyone tries to go through the same choke point there. The one on the ocean side of the map. Even when they know 4 of the enemy team are waiting there, they go there. It's complete stupidity.
By Tea Go To PostThat's a map where a good pharah is awesome but it rarely happens.DPS isn't easy on that map. hit scan is best i think? mc cree / reaper.
By Tea Go To PostThat's a map where a good pharah is awesome but it rarely happens.
I would run Pharah on that map in the early days but can't now because of the popularity of D.Va.
I have noticed that most the heroes I like either get nerfed or untouched. Heroes I don't care for get buffed. Frustrating.
This is why I need them to leave Zarya alone. My interest in the game cannot withstand a nerf to the only tank I care for.
