this discussion is the overwatch equivalent of a d. va running in and ulting into a group of people, having them all panic and die, then when it looks like its all over, boom a mercy ult

rinse and repeat

On Fire is one of the most useless stats in the game. It used to be even easier to get in closed beta but even now just playing the game semi-decently and not dying a ton gets you on fire.

Not dying as Zenyatta is an accomplishment though.

I'll be honest: That animation of D.Va makes it look like that mech is doing something lewd to her.

Edit: I think it's the way she bounces the opposite way it moves.

I'm a mediocre so and so but I vote for Zenya cards on principle because he's cool.

"Why didn't that guy get more votes anyways? Oh it's because 3 players already left on the victory/defeat screen sorry Zenya you don't get the fiver because most of the people left to vote clicked on both Widow players"

Exaggerated motion is fun and funny to watch. I'm pretty sure if you had a giant loving head with a grenade launcher or a mech I'm pretty sure you'd be shot, tasered, cuffed and then called a weirdo.

Out here, everything hurts


I've never had a good game as Zenyatta and I can feel myself bringing down the morale of my teammates whenever I pick him. They make switches to compensate and have an attitude that it's just going to be an uphill climb to win.

I admit that when I do quick play and our only support is Zenyatta my first thought is 'goddammit..." I am guilty too.

I ran into a 5 Winston + Lucio team tonight and my pubbie team got rolled. What can I as a lone player do to combat this menace? Gimmick stacks, effective or not, are kinda boring to play against.

It's for really actiony video games. In Metal Slug, everything is constantly moving to the beat of the music, and it can get so rhythmic that you start to hear the gunshots and man screams in tune with the music. That constant action gives it a certain fluidity that wasn't possible with the earlier systems. The Chibi Pixel stuff is aping that style, but it doesn't really work with a honking and vibrant background.

Are you using well balanced headphones? I hear the gunshots on the left, and the music on the right.
