Pretty sure the goon knows what an edgelord is and just doesn't like it when his main gets called out for being one. I'm all about inclusiveness so I propose a new name for reaper: Scowly Mallgoth.

Clearly Symmetra players are doing something right, because her winrate on that site is being recorded as way higher than any other hero (save torbjorn). Granted popularity and win-rate are somewhat inverse correlated here so who knows.

People still don't understand how much damage she can do and will ignore you, and the teleporter can make it so you don't have to deal with running back and will win you games on its own. Plus her lasers slowing you down is almost mei slowing your turnrate level of annoying and it freaks people out and they go full retard trying to spin around and shoot a turret while someone else actually kills them.

Masteroverwatch has mt symettra at 2.72:1 KDA and its literally my highest by .01, that lazer chainsaw can be a beast if you are willing to go full on DOOM and rush into a group of enemies.

She stays alive forever though if you're ok with her pilot form, it wouldn't surprise me if she had the highest KD overall (I'm at 4 I think but I've only played like 10 games as her so there's not much to go on I guess)

I love symmetras gun it's just that her ultimate is very not-engaging-at-all and her turrets, if the other team has even one competent player, are mostly worthless... Except for that one time you might kill some guy

but like 80% of my kills with symmetra is with her lasergun and honestly then I might as well just play Reaper or something

They could always allow custom servers so you always play on the maps and gamemodes you want with people you want to play the game with. One of the reasons I played TF2 for so long was I had 3 servers I played on, and one had all voice chat enabled and was super chill and played cool maps and good custom maps and made the game great before hats and every type of weapon ever happened to the game.

I really do wish Blizz would open things up for modding once Ranked play is in, at least. Being able to do insane poo poo like a custom map where all of your abilities are randomized would be a start.

Thats because people are starting to cash on that once shes out of her mech the best way to deal with a d.va is to ignore her so she cant respawn with another mech. :shepface:

But seriously, as long as you are up close d.va feels like she does more damage than other tanks, specially since she doesn't need to reload.

part of why I like her so much is because her pilot mode doesn't really seem like a detriment if I can dodge back to behind the front line. thanks for giving me a long-range weapon to snipe with!!

A team shouldn't have a free 6 player res every few minutes just because they have a symetra. Symetra should have to work for it.

She's would. Rebuild the ultimate to 100 again and you get 6 more charges

Playing D.Va is largely trying to find the safest way to get out of your mech ASAP so that you can become an actually decent character.

Good advice for any player really.

And maybe instead of 6 more charges, maybe every 50% or so she gets another charge. That way it's not just 6 and done then have to go reset it when you're owning

Knowing blizzard all other "gamemodes" will just be weekly brawls and they will never let you have random character servers all the time, even though that gamemode is 1000x more fun than genji only, final destination, but with custom server people like me who want to play on forced random with stock rules will have that, and genji only low grav servers will exists for that segment of players who want that.

Also I still play jailbreak in CS from time to time and CS is like the most goddamned serious game ever and it has map blacklists and cust server and cust rules and all the cool poo poo that makes it so you can have many kinds of games in your goddamned gungame.

Its like blizzard forgot that the reason Broodwar and TFT were so popular was custom maps and gamemodes, because WC3 become a dota and footmen frenzy engine, the community will make better maps than blizzard ever could regardless of the money they threw at good designers.

It is literally not like blizzard to not give people these options, apparently spending 10 years as a company that basically existed to run wow servers really changed how they view their products.

Only two bad things about Symetra is her lovely legendary costumes. Lesbian CEO or goofy Hindu god. Also people complaining that your picking symetra as attack on a map where you move the payload. From what I've seen on solo queue, enemy teams rarely have an answer for an extremely aggressive attacking symetra.

Also I cringe when I see people pick Genji, 9/10 times they are complete poo poo. At least a lovely Hanzo can still give wall hacks and double dragon every once in awhile.

Offensive teleporters are horribly underrated and I cringe every time my team doesn't prepare for it. I've actually had to go solve the problem myself more than once - as Reinhardt, who is the last person that should be sniffing out teleporters.

On the bright side, no one ever expects a Reinhardt to be camping their teleporter exit, which means a lot of easy hammer kills and more importantly annoys the hell out of them.

D.Va probably has the highest K:D in the game because mechs destroyed don't count as deaths, and she builds ultimate charge rapidly in pilot form so it's easy to get her mech back.

e: also very misleading because I'm sure D.Va's get a ton of assist eliminations from plinking away at people. Her mech gun does pitiful damage unless it's up close.

Unfortunately though, she can't tank any damage at all with her giant head hit box located center mass. You can kill people, but it's a real struggle if they aren't garage at the game.

Only a few of the legendaries are as good as the base skins, and this pattern will in all likelihood continue, because there is a vastly smaller amount of time and effort that goes into a skin compared with what went into designing and refining the original look.

Soldier 76's Jet skin is way better than all the others. He's one of the few cases where the default is legit better than every single legendary.

Also Stonehardt is the canonical Reinhardt skin and I don't care what Blizzard says because that is obviously how the character was supposed to look.

I agree with you on the jet skin but best Reinhardt is Blackhardt.
