Was just hoping to get in a quick match while I wait for my wife to get home, it's KOTH with nobody but me ever setting foot on the point. I say "you know we have to capture this point to win, right?" and the only response I get (from our 2nd Hanzo) is "no".

It was probably Shutout, which can also be buggy for people not standing on the pads. It's usually snipers not on the control points that don't get it and also D.Va has achievement issues because the game counts her mech as a different individual for some things.

I literally have no idea why anyone would ever play Hanzo. Well, I guess I do because lol hitboxes but he's the most boring, generic, uninteresting, lovely, slow-moving hero in the entire game.

Her ultimate should take a couple of seconds to charge up like Lucio's before it goes off.

They tried this in the beta. It was okay from a balance perspective, but felt really bad from a gameplay perspective. Mercy went from a staple in competitive to garbage tier, she was never able to get the resurrection off. They returned the instant-cast, but cut the range by over half. (It used to be 40, now it's 15.)


Also, this is hilarious.

At the risk of contracting salt poisoning, I don't understand it myself. If you want to snipe people all day long Widowmaker is right there and if you absolutely have to play someone out of one of your animes Genji is right over there, but no, every other random person I play with has a fixation on Hanzo. I would rather play against McCree and get flashbanged-fanned every single time than have someone who refuses to play anyone but Hanzo then brags at the end of the match after we lose about having second-highest eliminations.

Reviving your entire team is far more useful than an overshield that diminishes extremely fast.

Lucio's overshield is basically an "I win" button for pushes

Mercy's Ult leaves her allies stationary as they're being revived and extremely obvious so your team has plenty of time to set up to kill them again.

Nah, it works in theory but in practice the revived team pop their ultimates or what have you and push back. It's on the point so your team tends to be grouped up and just do their thing. It's probably the most powerful ultimate in the game in its current state and Mercy gets it every 20 seconds.

I really like this week's brawl and I'm sad it'll be over Tuesday(?), because it's been a great opportunity to play a lot of heroes I would feel guilty for picking in a normal match because I'd essentially condemn my team to 5v6.

Discovered D.Va is super fun and good and so are Tracer and Zenyatta, though it is not an exaggeration that the latter dies if anyone so much as looks at him funny. What's depressing is that I absolutely suck with supposedly overpowered characters like McCree and Widow.

You make a fair point and that fact has probably protected blizzard from legal action. However, in the immortal words of shakespeare, better to have seen a fabulous ninja butt and had it removed from the game than to have never seen it at all.

I like Mystery Heroes because I can play Hanzo without being a deliberate drag on my team. I actually saved the match on Lijiang with a 5-man solo kill and it didn't even give me a drat highlight. (No dragon, no lottery arrow nonsense. Just arrow, arrow, arrow etc) I'm not that consistent normally but he's fun.

Mercy and Widowmaker have serious spinal issues and should probably get some sort of treatment for them because I can only imagine they're in constant, agonizing pain.

For real, that skin is weird. I dig the warpaint but I don't think it's appropriate for an Egyptian to be wearing that sort of thing. Apparently it's just a mishmash of Native American and First Nations styles. Blizzard designers just thought it looked cool.

Edit: I'm not apposed to characters having unique skins like that, like a theme (Vikings, samurai, Native American, Roman, poo poo like that), but you know they only gave her that skin is because she has tan skin and could pass off as a Native American.

Hanzo's sonic arrow and neat Ult are all really neat tools, and the splinter arrow's a useful close-range burst. It's only that widow's op and doesn't have problems up close because of her rifle. If she gets nerfed hanzo's close to being a useful tool for medium range and holding chokepoints.

Why do you think Mercy keeps doing mad science on people such as Reaper and Genji. It certainly isn't to help people...
