Dias posted:My "stack" has an Anubis countdown, it usually takes 4 games for us to see the dreaded Anubis Offense and for my brother to get really mad. i really hate that drat chokepoint. Yes you can overcome most of the BS defensive poo poo like 5 torbs or whatnot there, but its real hard to do without actual teamwork. an extra doorway would go a long way towards making that less stupid.

The Gate posted:Mei's ult callout is terrible, for sure. It's a random phrase in Chinese that sounds like any number of the other random things she can say, then suddenly your team is frozen. Also, its not louder than normal voice lines, so it's super easy to miss in a fight. And the item itself makes almost no noise when you toss it out, until it activates and starts the freezer noise at which point you're already hosed unless you have a movement ability that will get you out. I'm a mandarin speaker and it owns. Can't believe there are people who don't understand all of mei's lines. Also yeah, "Dong Zhu, Bu Xu Zou" is a very typical cop phrase in chinese television dramas. The dual meaning of freeze does carry over in Mandarin as well. Also who needs a movement ability - one lucio crossade counters mei's ult hard.

IDK, as someone who has never known any Chinese I think it's a pretty distinct callout. Doesn't really sound like any of her other lines.

Symmetra idea: Give her turrets a collision box from above so she can make stairs with them. She in no way needs this buff but flanking with her is so hilarious that I want more ways to do it.

A few pages back, but on the subject of Hanzo's ult: If you are not killing people with the dragon you are probably that Hanzo that presses Q on cooldown. Wait until a fight starts. Where does the enemy want to be? Put the dragon there.

The other night there were probably 6 or 7 people in the process of defending/attacking spot B on Anubis and I killed them all with D.Va's ult;?That alone was worth the 60 bucks I put down for this silly game

Yeah all those Chinese cop dramas we have here in <literally any nation besides China>. It's not that it's Chinese, mainly, it's that it's quiet. Most callouts cut through the normal sounds, they override the regular combat. HIGH NOON is loud and clear. Mei's ult is spoken like a normal interaction line and gets really drowned out. Since the orb doesn't make any noise until it's freezing you, you're hosed if you miss the incredibly quiet callout most of the time.

Tales of Woe posted:What's the best plan for capping the second point on Volskaya when the enemy team has a bunch of torbjorns and bastions set up around it in the hallways and on the catwalks? I feel like that's one of the hardest points to get in the game even without turret hell. If bastion/torb is set up on the back catwalk you can snipe them with impunity from the stairs leading up to the floating platforms.

Oh wait I guess you're talking about Mercy huh... Honestly the foreign-language ult lines are the easiest for me because you always know that the English ones are on your team and the non-English ones aren't. I still have a little trouble telling whether Lucio and D.Va's callouts are from my team or not.

Those achievements are secretly not about "be good at Zenyatta", but instead "have friends who are good at Zarya/Reinhardt/maybe Mei". I got the 4-kills-in-the-air cheevo as Pharah just by pressing Q at an amazing Graviton Surge.

Fans posted:There's a dead area before the Ult fires off so you don't get insta gibbed and beyond that it's really not difficult to dodge. It's no different to High Noon or "I got you in my sights", but instead of needing to find cover from them you instead need to back off from cover incase a slow moving dragon bursts out of it and kills you. Which makes it easier to dodge, because there isn't always cover to hide behind but you can always just stand in an open area and wait to see which way you need to dive. Yeah I have a lot of hours on D.Va and I still struggle at getting more than 1 person with my Ult. It really is more of an area denial tool or get out of jail card for me, like when a Roadhog hooks me and blows my mech, I know I can explode it and either catch him in the blast or escape from everyone and instantly get back my mech. Also good for dropping it on the point in overtime to deny the other team. Not good at all for blowing up large groups of people.

I mean, nevermind the general imbecility of this, the different language ults are all enemy-side so when you hear gibberish you know it's your guys that are about to get hosed. I'd bet people learn those callouts WAY before the ones that are both in English.

I have actual for real hearing problems where I occasionally have trouble processing/identifying words, especially across digital mediums, and Mei's Ice Wall sound and Blizzard sound are both immediately and readily identifiable to me. They have, as mentioned, a reverb sound effect, as well as the loud beeping of the Blizzard-bot that goes along with it. Please just buy some goddamn decent headphones.
