I honestly don't think I've ever seen a Winston POTG. The only way I can even think of that you'd get one is if you ulted and managed to knock a bunch of people into a pit or something. He's just designed in such a way that getting big kill combos is super rare.

Oh hey, Blizzard also has a profile site tracking your stats. It's not as in-depth as masteroverwatch.com with charts and leaderboards, but still neat to know it exists. You can find yours here: https://playoverwatch.com/en-us/career/pc/us/YOURBATTLETAG-####.PantsBandit posted:I honestly don't think I've ever seen a Winston POTG.

They usually involve a pit or ledge someone can be tossed into or over. Roadhog can pull some of these as well. I think I've seen more Symmetra PoTGs from people walking into turrets and getting zapped to death than those two.

I'm still a little confused as to why Zenyatta has to be both so slow and so squishy. It's nice that he can regenerate a third of his health, but, I mean, Mercy can regenerate all of hers, and she has 50 more maximum health than Zenyatta does (and loads more mobility). Zenyatta's better on offense, sure, but surely he isn't so good that he needs to be killable by one sniper body-shot, right?

Yup, and I like the suggestion on the forums of having his discord orb also lowering the damage of the target, so he can survive (and extra second) if he can land it before they can land a shot on him. It is annoying how slow he is though. I'd rather replace his charge-fire with an escape/teleporty/sprint option. Dropping from floating and running for a few seconds using his feet would probably be useful and also stun the attacker from laughter.

The problem is people LOVE to play flankers. If I'm playing as Genji, I'm going to go after the healer. Mercy, if she's paying attention, can shift to a teammate and get away from me before I can finish her off. Zenyatta though all I have to do is land like one shuriken on him and the dude is done for. Same situation with any other ganker in the game vs Zen. He's just got zero survivability.

He's up against Mercy and Lucio as healers and both of them can zip around like crazy while also regenerating their own health. Even if he doesn't get more health, being able to just move if I have to would be great, and would definitely be more useful than the charged shot.

The funny thing is how Zenyattas HP got just nerfed from 175 to 150, in other words Blizzard felt that he was totally overpowered and needed to be adjusted.

Got my first abusive PS4 message from Overwatch. Some Widowmaker was wrecking our poo poo, so I switched to Mei and did basically nothing for the rest of the match but throw ice walls in front of her as she aimed. I must have ruined dozens of shots. I'm loving in love with this game.

I have 16 hours on him so far and he is a blast. He also has one of, if not the, toughest achievement in the game that may also be bugged, but Rapid Discord is crazy. I also still haven't landed a 1500+ transcendence heal as people are getting much better at running away from ults (but also run away from the big glowly support on their team). He is a lot of fun for me as I can shoot, debuff, buff, and there's just so much going on, but his lack of mobility will never allow me to participate as much as Mercy. I've gotten a 100% participation card on her, but nothing higher than around 30% on Zenyatta, and even then, that was probably us sitting at a point for a while as enemies ran in single-file and never managed to reach me. I'm not too sure I like his skins though. One looks like a genie and one looks like a bird. I guess metallic Krillin works for now until they add some more options. I think the only skins I really like are the Reinhart and Reaper ones, although there are a few non-legendary ones that I like, such as the muddy/dirty roadhog since it fits him so well.

Yeah, I really do love Zenyatta, which is why I'd love just the smallest boost to his survivability so I can feel like I can play him against a team with more than one flanker and/or literally any sniper without dragging my team down. I like his skins well enough but I do think his default is probably cooler overall. The only character whose non-recolor skins I don't think I'd ever use is Lucio, really, which is a shame because he's a ton of fun to play. Bolivar posted:The funny thing is how Zenyattas HP got just nerfed from 175 to 150, in other words Blizzard felt that he was totally overpowered and needed to be adjusted. Wasn't that back when his orbs would stay on the target without LoS? Like, in that case I understand. If Zen only has to peek out and then slap a Discord on someone, then go back into hiding, he should be astonishingly squishy. But because he has to maintain LoS to do anything useful now, his squishiness (combined with his total lack of mobility) makes him a liability to his team unless he has a Reinhardt babysitting him and also a Lucio or Mercy on the team. It's telling that the only other hero who's as squishy as Zenyatta is Tracer, and her whole deal is being incredibly mobile and difficult to pin down. Zenyatta's got no real recourse.

The problem with buffing Zenyatta's health is that even if you give him an extra 25, this is a team game so you have to take into account other team members, and with a Symmetra that would buff him up to 200 health, which the same as Soldier 76. Considering the tools Zenyatta has that's kind of nuts.

Gave Mei a shot last night. Holy poo poo. I started to feel bad with how ungodly annoying she can be to an opposing team. 4 people firing at me near a point? Ice Wall. Team needs me to hold a point in a pinch? Ice Block. Reinhardt being all shieldy? Frozen. support heroes hiding behind the point? Ult and some icicles to the dome will fix that. Also love ice walling the floor underneath me to gently caress up people's aim while I continue to make it rain icicles. Also, nailing widowmaker in the face from a long ways off is incredibly satisfying. Mei is clutch as gently caress.

You're assuming every team with a Zenyatta has a Symmetra, and that any team with a Zenyatta would require a Symmetra, and that's a bad situation, too. I'd much prefer that he gets some sort of mobility option than more health, honestly. Give me some recourse when a Reaper warps behind me or a Widowmaker, y'know, exists. I don't want Zenyatta to get Tracer levels of mobility, but at least make it so that when I get blown the hell up by a flanker, I can at least fight back in a way that isn't "try to headshot them a bunch and pray they somehow miss me with half their shots."

I think people would pick up on the fact that you have a death-dealing heal machine like Zenyatta tearing up everyone and everything when paired up with Symmetra fairly quickly. The fact is that healthpools in this game are at such a point where a tiny amount of extra, comparatively speaking, can make the world of difference. This is why Symmetra got nerfed from 50 shields to 25 because 200 health tracers and 250 Genjis were tearing up shop.
