Reo posted:I was on a team with wolf'd up Hanzo and not only did he say Let the Wolf consume you, the attack was white wolves instead of blue dragons Speaking of which, last night I noticed that at least the graphics for the dragons stay active for a really loving long time. Two Hanzos shot them from the gate to Hanamura A, I got there on defense right after they had already passed the point, and I just watched the dragons fly off to the distance, towards the mountain in the background. It was really quite pretty.

 I'm not saying you're wrong but I haven't seen any of the goofy huntsman boxes yet. Even when I was killed by hanzo. It's mostly been pretty clean. Maybe it gets dodgy the farther away it is? Most kills I'm thinking of are mid range.

It's definitely seems like the arrow hitbox covers the entire length of the arrow, making it slightly easier to hit strafing targets. Kill feeds are hilariously bad with Hanzo: half-charged shots that land short of my feet yet display HEADSHOT with my death.

Had a good couple matches in Arcade First was on Gibraltar. On Defense, I want Toblerone, which didn't work, then something else, then eventually Zarya. Zarya is much harder to kill in Arcade mode, and thanks to constantly shielding enemies and myself I was at full charge a lot of the time. We eventually won that. On offense I picked Tracer. I wasn't that great with her, but not super-terrible. One moment I recall was when I had nearly killed a Reaper when it went smoke-shaped. I knew it was heading for the health so I blinked there before it. I couldn't pick it up because I was already full. It stood there a second until it materialized and then it shot at me from across the room, letting me take the health and then kill its helpless butt. We won that round thanks to our own Zarya. Next was on Route 66. I went Mei first, but the attacking team went double Pharah. My first thought was to go Widow to counter, but I got killed by a Tracer, so I swapped to D.Va. From there on I spent most of my time in the skies harassing the Pharah. The double health and faster booster cooldown in arcade mode makes D.Va much more viable. I kept bothering and harassing the enemy Pharahs and we kept them from capping the first point. Victory. I stick with D.Va on defense even though the enemy was down to one Pharah. It still worked, even better because by that time I remembered Defense Matrix to neutralize her rocket barrages. The enemy team countered by going with 3-4 D.Vas which I couldn't do that much with, so I mostly harassed the other remaining members because the D.Vas couldn't do much to me either. We won that round. Ddraig posted:D.Va has the highest health pool in the game (650, 400 of which is armour) First, it's 500 HP (400 of which is Armor), NOT 650 HP. Secondly, she really, really does not remotely feel like a 500 HP character. I've played 500 HP characters. Zarya, a 400 HP character feels much tougher than D.Va. I've tried playing as D.Va a lot and her mech dies very quickly.

I have literally never seen a Hanzo kill that I feel was in any way earned. Honestly, even the best Widowmakers I feel that they deserved that kill, with Hanzo it's always either the result of spam or incredibly wonky hit detection.

I partially hate Widow because I know how I play her, which is charged up body shots for days. You don't need to head shot when you are covering the one and only entrance to an area, just tap them again when they go for a second try. I will stop when it stops being effective

Is there any resource out there that shows how your weapons/turrets look with different skins? Cause in Hero's Gallery picking skins you can't see your weapon. And Soldier 76, for example, will have a different weapon based on his skin. His Command/Night Ops skins has his weapon looking like an M16, for example.

i was playing hanzo the other night (poorly) and was running back from spawn on one of the KOTH maps. remembered i had the sensor arrow thing and knew they were pushing the point, so i decided to lob it from across the map as soon as i could. lined it up through maybe a 2 pixel wide gap between pillars in the general direction of their team and my aim is so bad i was just hoping to get it through which headshot a soldier 76 if you are reading this, soldier, i am sorry

Her attack speed is insane and even the charge is really fast.  I even saw it catch A_seagull off guard and in the kill cam he was like "oh drat I forgot she could fire that fast".I hope I stay in scrub tier matchmaking forever and only have to deal with terrible Widowmakers (even if half of them are on my team).

So you agree that she has 650 health and that she doesn't disappear into the void when her 500 mech health is depleted, which is incidentally what other characters who run out of health tend to do.

Despite her mech having a lot of armor, her head hitbox on the mech is huge and in the middle of the model so it's very easy to hit. I always feel ineffective as a tank playing anything but Reinhardt, though Roadhog does have his moments.

Tanks are more about damage mitigation than they are about just absorbing damage themselves. (Well, except Roadhog.) Diva can soak hilarious amounts of damage with her shield that people tend to constantly forget about. If you're smart about how you use it you can completely shut down some enemy pushes.

That's because Reinhardt is the only actual proper Tank tank type tank, who can absorb a poo poo ton of damage and push forward. Which is why I know we're always going to lose when our sole tank in any given attack map is D.Va or Roadhog. I'd even take Winston over those two as an attacking tank as he can at least establish a new baseline front by pushing back defenders.

Earlier someone mentioned the idea that teammates should be able to walk through Mei's ice wall for a defensive buff, like receive a little Reinhardt shield. I read that as "receive a little Reinhardt" and I had this image of a Clank size Reinhardt running before me with his shield out. Blizzard make it happen.
