It's like network TV police procedural levels of misunderstanding a youth culture.

Having lived and worked in South Korea for a number of years, I can confirm that D.Va is a startilngly accurate representation of Korean Gamers: gigantic annoying dweebs who think they're the hottest poo poo ever.

If D.Va was any more realistic she'd be a chubby 16 year old boy with a lovely bowlcut whose only voice lines are about how the Japanese are subhuman filth.

My post got lost a few pages back, but I wanted to know if there was a resource online where I can see how each hero skin changes their weapons. You can't really view the weapons of a specific skin until you buy that skin then go into a match.

It'd be cool to get alt camera angles on some super finishes or poo poo like turret dwarf. POTG is a cool idea but half the time it's happening offscreen.

Been playing a lot of Junkrat, which is weird because i didn't really touch him in beta. He's my go to dude for KotH maps and any time we're behind on payload defense. Pretty much any time the other team is going to be clustered together.

People may have already posted these before but here are a few things i've found useful:

If the other team has a lot of squishy heroes zipping around (genji, tracer, etc), drop your trap and put a concussion bomb next to it. As soon as you see the trap is triggered, remote detonate the bomb. This should be enough for a kill.

The concussion bombs are so fantastic for getting your dumb rear end out of a tight spot. If you see mei waddling towards you freeze gun blasting, roadhog coming at you minigun blazing, or you're under a lot of fire, throw your concussion bomb at your feet and jump your way to safety.


I think Junkrat also has potential for a double concussion jump. I've been trying this but haven't gotten the timing down. On the drop ship, I put a concussion bomb on the door at about 10 seconds before round start. When the round begins, the concussion bomb is off cooldown. So I concussion jump from the bomb placed on the door. Then in mid-air, turn around drop another concussion bomb and immediately detonate it.

I have to assume that's another deliberate decision to alienate the stereotypical hardcore FPS dingus, all of which are very good and probably the reason this game is gonna do well.

Symmetra's games are super binary. Either you're carwashing everyone and microwaving idiots and teleporting legions or your team went with 4 Idiot Stupid Gimmick No Damage Assholes and you've basically committed to going 5 on 6 because you will NEVER get up a turret farm or teleport.

The worst part is Symmetra needs to get moving ASAP so if people are picking bad during the countdown, you're already out there proper hosed.

that being said it is super weird that you can view the profile of people in the game without a scoreboard at all. i didnt see any way to do it from the tab screen though, i think they have to click on your name in chat? if so even more reason not to talk to the pubs.
