exquisite tea posted:Torb is honestly fine for most QM payloads now because he's still good for a few guaranteed kills from people who just haphazardly trickle right into his turret and feed his rather good ult every 10 seconds. Torb is hilarious because he's fairly good on his own and people don't quite expect to get downed in a single meatshot when sneaking up on you or get hit for a 140 headshot when they're standing still at long range trying to whittle down your turret. It's almost like every character is really strong, enough that anyone who's never played an FPS can get some "holy poo poo" moments and FPS veterans can get their own "holy poo poo" moments.

I love Zarya but I'd love her a lot more if her shields lasted 4 seconds instead of 2. Keep them at 200 block, same cooldown and everything. Just make it a tiny bit easier to actually use it without having to have *perfect* timing.

Someone Awful! posted:thanks for the reinhardt tips! i think a lot of the problems i've been having has been team comps + playing with pubbies who are too dumb to stand behind the rectangle. i rarely play him when i'm rolling with goons cause there's always someone who's actually good with him and it's a lot of pressure If you want to get a feel for how to play Rein, watch RenbotOW on twitch for a bit. It will give you a really good sense of when to drop shield, when to retreat, when to charge, when to ult. Those are really the areas that distinguish a good Rein from a bad. Also someone said don't flank with him, but there are definitely circumstances when he can be an effective flanker and catching most characters in a small side room with your hammer is a fight you'll usually win. If your shield gets down to about 500 health, back off and let it regenerate. Corner peak with fire strike while it regenerates, or go grab a health pack (this is a good time to find squishies on the flank!). I actually find that Rein is one of the easiest characters to carry pubs with even if your offensive party members suck. If no enemy bastion, use shield and fire strike to close distance, them hammer and charge away. If enemy bastion, then flank cause you're not going to close that distance. Enemy roadhogs are not really worth engaging unless you can hit them with fire strike and a charge before starting to hammer them Papercut fucked around with this message at 16:16 on Jun 3, 2016 |

That would be insanely OP considering that the way you're supposed to deal with Zarya shields is to wait for them to go away. You'd either have to wait 4 seconds, in which case whoever was shielded would shoot you because 4 seconds in an FPS might as well be forever, or shoot through the shield and watch in horror as Zarya microwaves your entire team.

Why not compensate for halved or even lower charge for a wider timing window? Not favoring the idea one way or the other, but whether a longer duration could be balanced to begin with.

Yeah Zarya's shields are in a good place right now I think. It takes some real getting used to (I'd say she has one of the sharper learning curves of any hero I've tried so far) but you start to watch for those moments where a shield can get your teammate out of taking fatal damage. It helps that certain attacks can give you max charge (50% per shield) with one hit.

I've been having lots of issues with Hanzo and Roadhog this week. I keep dying to Hanzo and when the game shows me know third person dying the arrow that killed me is regularly floating a foot or two off my character model. I'm getting weary of dying to arrows that are not hitting me. With Roadhog I have two problems. Sometimes my hook pulls people through me and deposits them behind me. Not good. Other times I get blasted in the face by whoever hooked the moment they get to me. Doesn't matter if Km holding M1 while the hook reels them in or not, I'm getting killed often to that. None of this was happening in the first week. I've only been noticing it since Monday or Tuesday of this week. Did a mini patch break something?

Zarya seems to be straight up one of the better heroes, and yeah it's the learning curve that really seems to put off anyone playing her TBH which is pretty depressing. She does need a couple of buffs (either that or just the current top tier is a little to good), so maybe her energy charge could degrade 20% slower or something?

Call me crazy but the rumors that the next hero is a "Support Sniper" don't exactly fill me with much enthusiasm. The last thing this game needs is another sniper.

Seems weird since Zenyatta is a pretty good support sniper (or backliner) from my experience. I've also bagged a surprising number of idiot Tracers who think I'm some freebie.

Where have you heard this? How will they make a sniper who is a support? Healing arrows or something? Hanzo and Widowmaker both give plenty of support with their wallhack abilities.Also Torb is totally already a sniper, except he can also handle himself up close.

Blizzards next character should be Reapers long lost brother who supports his team with friendly shotguns. His special can be Life's Blossum in which he sound around d firing while yelling "live live live" That or a support character that is fun to play like Reaper and McCree so that people can play a character like that that helps their team. drat I hate McCree'ers and Reaper'ers.

I can see that I guess. It's just that if 4 seconds is 'forever' then 2 seconds feels like the blink of an eye. Like if you pop the shield BEFORE you're already being shot you've wasted it, which I guess is the trick to learning to play her properly, but just doesn't feel right. You shield someone and she says "Get in there!" but really if they're not ALREADY "in there" then the shield is gone.

The only real reason I don't play Zarya a lot is because I play a lot of pubs and her ultimate relies a lot on others to capitalize on it which pubs never seem to do for me. Other than that I think she's pretty easy to use? step 1: shield yourself whenever someone shoots at you step 2: shield your mates whenever they are in danger step 3: laser anything close to you or lob your AoE balls at targets far away

yeah if Zenyatta isn't already the 'support sniper' then I don't know what he's supposed to be they need to make someone that can realistically replace mercy/lucio in teams if they're going to make more supports, that's the biggest bottleneck of the hero roster right now.

Don't remove any characters, don't nerf characters into uselessness, don't balance the game for people who refuse to learn to counter stuff that kills them. Thanks in advance, Blizzard.
