this is something that always annoys me but I rarely call out--the problem with the winston and diva combo is that it's almost like not having any fucking tanks depending on how they get played
like yea, they are absorbing damage from SOMEONE, but there's no cover at all for supports or backline dps when the tanks literally shoot off into the distance--so all it takes is one enemy hero to get in the backline and its all she wrote
and it's an issue in that those type of players can very easily lead to a bunch of trickling in--a diva that pops a jet to get into the fight, provides no real tanking, dies--same with a winston--and if the enemy team is smart and sticks next to their tanks and heroes, neither diva or winston are that capable of dealing out enough damage to take someone out
i'm not saying a winston or diva should never push, but just calling it out as one of the main ways I lose these days
I continue to think Mei is super underrated these days also.

Mei requires you to be able to hit reliably with her right-clicks and people aren't good at that. She destroys an unorganized team (basically, any team that doesn't have at least a four-stack) when in capable hands but can kind of be worked around by a good team with good communication.
Yeah, I know what you mean about the diving tanks. Winston and D.Va are wonderful for taking out snipers and then jetting back. It's really about prioritization for them. If there are snipers taking out your backline, then leave your backline and take out the snipers. If the snipers aren't destroying your friends, then stay with them and provide support from them being dived on.

By Dark PhaZe Go To PostWtf @ battlemercyI haven't played with this change, yet, but I love the idea behind it. Fuck that teamwide rez ult. She's a much more active hero now. May actually play her more often now.
Looks like DIVA will be a strong anti-pharrah pick now also
enjoy both changes--though the winston/diva meta is going to provide zero protection for supports at this point

D. Vs wasn't already anti-Pharah???
By Phoenix RISING Go To PostD. Vs wasn't already anti-Pharah???she stopped her from doing stuff but its not like she could kill her
Why are they so hype about Mercy being able to fly? Depending on the other team's comp, part of her ulti will be useless. 😔
a res every 30 seconds could get old REALLY really quickly
meta change as a result of this is gonna be really interesting

By Dark PhaZe Go To Postit begins tonightSure, we can do that.
work on our placement matches tonight kib?
By Kibner Go To PostSure, we can do that.
What time are ya'll getting on?
By Phoenix RISING Go To PostWhat time are ya'll getting on?I dunno. I'm just taking a short few minute break from five Quake Champions matches.
Yeah. The 30second res could get old really fast.
The toughest thing to do on attack a lot of times is get that pick off that gives you a numbers advantage. Which you desperately need cause the defending team should always have an ult advantage.
But if that's nullified every 30 seconds ... :| We could be seeing a lot more holds shortly.

By giririsss Go To PostYeah. The 30second res could get old really fast.But then you don't have the bullshit of getting 3+ kills using your ults and then having that negated with a single other ult while also putting you on the backfoot, positioning-wise.

By Kibner Go To PostBut then you don't have the bullshit of getting 3+ kills using your ults and then having that negated with a single other ult while also putting you on the backfoot, positioning-wise.That's the thing though. You wanted to ult, when you got the numbers advantage, to break through and use your ults effectively. You won't ever have that now. You won't have the numbers advantage.
And with the increased healing from her ult, you may not even get the kills you need either.
But, the flip side is, if you're thinking about it in the terms you are, you're also now HAVING to wait till 4 people have their ult on attack, before actually attacking. Which is going to create very few actual attack opportunities.
Don't get me wrong, her old ult could ruin games. But these changes could be just as / even more effective.

As a Mercy main, I'm banking on this.
Also, it's (college) football season and there's a game on tonight, so NVM about me joining.
My son is just a couple 100 points shy of platinum tier. Regularly leads his team in all stats and is taking up all the space on the hard drive with play of the game recordings

I'm still mad that he's ranked higher than I am

Overwatch is the most frustrating thing because at its core its one of my favorite games ever
but the wild swinging tonedeaf balance sweeps by blizzard, the toxic community and the god dirt shit mmr for quickplay will never put it on Team Fortress's level to me

By Phoenix RISING Go To PostDataYou've never played a Blizzard competitive game before.
You're playing Overwatch, not DotA. Overwatch is chill mode by comparison. Casual-like.
OW has a mixture of MOBAs, CSGO and WoW players. DOTA has a gentleman community by comparison
You and I have two completely different experiences. If Overwatch were as toxic as you claim, I wouldn't be letting my 9-year old play.
ooooooooooooooooooooo
They have to be changing Mercy back soon, right? People all over the place saying the game is ruined now.
Got everything I want from Halloween 🎃. Just would like torbjorn and meis skin and emote. Have enough credits but I’ll wait until the last day.
By EvilChameleon Go To PostThey have to be changing Mercy back soon, right? People all over the place saying the game is ruined now.What’s wrong with Mercy?
I just started playing again after a year-long hiatus, so I’m still trying to get familiar with the changes.
By DJ Lushious Go To PostWhat’s wrong with Mercy?Changed her ult and made revive a basic one character per cast ability on a 30 second cool down. Last I checked, anyway, unless more changes have been made. I've been off the Overwatch train for a while but want to get back onboard.

Got Zarya's, Mei's and Symmetra's skin from the Halloween event, hoping I get Ana's soon. I'm pretty chuffed as of right now, much better than I've done in the last few events, I missed a bunch of Tracers and Mercys skins from the last few and Widowmaker's latest Summer skin, so that was a bummer.

But then again I don't get many loot boxes because I never play in the Arcade
Anyone play Roadhog after his changes? The new heal is nice and all, but I still can't make him work.
By NovemberMagnus Go To PostAnyone play Roadhog after his changes? The new heal is nice and all, but I still can't make him work.I play him more after the changes
Mercy's cooldown on revive needs to be higher, being able to undo a pick every 30 seconds is too strong.
By Juicy Go To PostMercy's cooldown on revive needs to be higher, being able to undo a pick every 30 seconds is too strong.Certainly feels that way, but have you played her?
She plays so different to most supports :|
By data Go To PostI play him more after the changesYeah, I feel like I'm better as him now, but that may be that I was already starting to play as him more in modes like Elimination before he was changed. Being able to heal and move at the same time is so good.
