Played a game as Symmetra where I was the only defender left on a payload that was right on top of the final destination. Threw down my teleporter as I died, and the clowncar began. We ended up winning that match, after it got hectic enough that I had enough to place down another teleporter after the initial one was destroyed. I regret not recording it, and can only hope one of the goons I was playing with did.

I love Reinhardt because not only does he look like a Dark Souls character, but he plays like one too. So I killed about 3 of them just by dodging their attack, circling around, and shooting them in the rear end.

Yeah as annoying as it is to get killed by, or fail to kill a Reaper, he's still got to get up close to do his job compared to Ye Olde FPS Sniper.

Reaper has clear weaknesses and strengths that teams can exploit to play around him. Widowmaker can hit people at ranges that they cannot respond at, can instantly kill 2/3rds of the cast, and also has respectable close range and AoE damage, for some loving reason.

Hold jump after you jump at a wall. You can chain them together to skate all around an enclosed space

You can't just go up a single wall, Lucio can't jump while on wall and land on that same surface again, it has to be a new one. How that's defined varies a lot. Best way to get a feel is to just open a map up on your own and skate around!

Zarya is all about timing your shields well until you turn into a plasma spewing god of destruction. Before you are powered up fighting is a last resort. Zero power beam is weaker than Mercy's pistol as I recall.

If you play Zarya with me on Hanamura or King's Row attack, just put a shield on me right before I'm about to jump straight to the cap. Instant full charge.

Is anyone getting a recurring bug where the UI vanishes, and it basically kicks you to the title screen to watch a hero's idle pose with no text overlay and no way to bring it back?

You can still hear the game you were in going on, but it's hit me 3-4 times today, I think each time after I'd died instead of putting me back into the game when I respawn.

I don't think so. Blizzard hasn't said anything and 2/3 of those characters are completely fine and the third is borderline at worst.

if so such a thing has not been announced, but i have no idea why they'd nerf winston if they also nerfed the characters he ostensibly countered (tracer, widow) as that'd cause a massive drop in his usage

his primal rage thing is a little too primal and a little too ragey? I don't play him though so maybe he's mediocre/bad until his ult and that makes up for it idk. Wrecks my poo poo like no other ult though.

Vermain

The reason Winston is used so consistently is that he's the best "generic" tank of the bunch: he's mobile, deals consistent damage, has solid survivability (especially when his ult is active), and can protect his team during pushes. I'd say he's in an otherwise very balanced state right now.

McCree and Widowmaker are the two standouts because of the fact that they don't have enough tradeoffs for their strengths, and I would be very surprised if they weren't put on the chopping block whenever the next big balance patch comes out. We'll see.

Winston's ult doesn't do a whole lot of damage, it's a zoning tool.

yeah each hit is 40 damage and pushes people away, it definitely isn't going to kill people who aren't already hurt or who have literally zero escape/disable tools. its purpose is mobility/stalling and i guess pushing the aforementioned no escape people into pits when applicable

I also feel they're alittle boring with how decisive they are with how they can remove someone before they can retreat or hit their oh poo poo button. Roadhog has abit of this going on as well but hes got more flaws going on too.

the only reason tracer isn't in that list is because mccree and widow currently are, and she has a higher execution level to not be awful (at least compared to mccree). if those two get brought down than they need to seriously consider doign the same for tracer or else 2x winston is going to be a mandatory part of every comp once people arent awful

And it'll never happen again so that's the place to end things for the night.
