If you're on Discord people can drop into the channel and ask when you'd have a spot free. More importantly you can poo poo talk the pubbies behind their back if you don't have a full group, a vital tool.

Do we have a street date for Competitive mode yet? As much as I love this game, I think I need something more than the loot boxes at LVL up to keep me going now.

Would Zenyatta be OP if he could still shoot and apply discord during his ult It seems like it would be a cool way to improve an ult that is basically a shittier version of Lucio's

NTRabbit posted:Unless you're putting it on a tank, the majority of the time you go to put the shield on someone already taking fire they die before you can do it. While I agree with you that Zarya sucks in comparison to other tanks like Reinhardt/Winston, part of it just sounds like you aren't quite fast enough to shield people before they die -- it's not much different than hitting E right before you die as Tracer (you just have to aim a bit). I've played against great Zaryas who deny me kills by shielding their teammates at the last second, and those 2 seconds of invulnerability where I don't shoot back is often enough to change the fight from me killing their teammate to their teammate killing me. I wouldn't discount the value of having 2 seconds of "don't shoot at me or else" as completely worthless.

When you play with any kind of latency, pressing E just before you die doesn't work for anyone, because you've actually already been dead a second or so and the server just hasn't told you yet; same math applies to attaching a remote ability to someone else.

One time I got the achievement for hitting 5 people with Zarya's ult... none of them died and they killed me while the toast was still on-screen.

Blizzard made a pretty good sniping game. I mean, the maps seem a little cramped sometimes, they could be a lot bigger, with wide open spaces to snipe in. But as games about being a sniper go, this one is still pretty good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9R21Z7PpyM

Sounds like a latency issue and not a Zarya issue then. Playing Tracer must suck for you as well.

Zoness posted:it seems like the problem is that you are playing this game on ping that exceeds a whole second I'm playing in Australia, in whatever games the server puts me into. If a character only has a very small window of usefulness, and that window is closed by even the tiniest shred of latency, then that character has a problem that needs fixing. I can actually play Tracer pretty well, but the latency does make it really hard to get the most out of Winston and Genji's ults, it's a real bastard trying to land small arc melee hits under those conditions. Aiming with Hanzo is pretty much just luck and random firing too.

Man I should tried Symmetra sooner, she is pretty fun to play as. Never knew until playing her how deadly that laser she can shoot out can get. It went through Reinharlt in seconds when he got distracted by a turret. Any general tips on to use her. I seem to took some cues from people I played on where to stick turrets.

What "fix" are you proposing? And wouldn't that just skew the problem the other way (the ability become too strong/useful for those with low ping)? Makes no sense to balance characters around your poor internet -- seems like they should set up better servers, closer to you, rather than mucking about with Zarya's abilities which are fine for others.

How about fixing her so that she's actually more useful than just in limited edge cases where a different character would actually be better anyway, no matter how fast your internet is? She's an exceptionally mediocre character no matter which way you slice it. Doubling the range on her mediocre gun mmight be an idea, gives her a point of difference over all the other tanks, and takes her out of short range and into midrange, making her the ranged tank, as opposed to D.Va the flank tank, Winston the short/melee tank, and Reinhardt the tank tank.
