EA GAMES' MASTERPIECE 'MADDEN 2018 G.O.A.T. EDITION' IS A GLORIOUS TRIUMPH OF ART AND TECHNOLOGY. IT BRINGS GAMEDAY RIGHT TO THE PLAYER AND WHOEVER SAYS OTHERWISE CAN, YOU GUESSED IT...
SUCK THE SHIT STRAIGHT OUT OF MY OWN ASSHOLE.

BUY IT.

Zenyatta actually heals 66% of his health. His self heal is not as good as Mercy's and Lucio's but his orbs are stronk

I'm not counting his shields for this equation(for one thing his overall health is low enough that if his shields get broken he'll probably end up dying anyways so his shields being able to refill is often a moot point)

Is the BNet app a bit of a computer hog? I find it taking up a decent part of my % in Task Manager, even when it's just idling. I've read about people recommending that you turn it off while playing for various boosts.

Obviously, many might not learn if they have a monster computer, but it looks pretty significant here.

I had a really weird Roadhog night. I was landing my hook better than ever, including waiting to use it until I had closed distance to be sure to get the stun duration. But over and over and over again, enemies were escaping without dying. I had a Mercy who I hooked+M1, she lives and starts flying off, I turn and chase her, hook her again, and the same thing happened! Apparently I'm a terrible hog.

I honestly don't get what's up with Hog at all, people escape half my hooks by moving away before my shot goes off, yet when I get hooked at max distance I still get instagibbed without a chance to react.

Why does Reaper get to keep his ult if you kill him when he starts using it? Lost a game because a Reaper ran into use and tried to ult twice and died instantly. Third time on the point though he finally waits for his team and despite ulting and failing both lifes before that, he still has it.

Maybe I'm just bitter because when I play Symmetra the game doesn't give me a second chance with my ult :mad:

any ult that you fire like that won't lose all its charge if you die right away during it. you basically keep whatever charge you still had left. I've killed the same pharah using the same barrage twice because I got her as soon as she started it once, she got revived, then I sniped her out of the air when she tried it again like 10 seconds later

You can hold down LMB while the hook animation plays out and it'll fire off the shot immediately when it ends. Also, you can animation cancel into the hook from a RMB. The whole combo is basically RMB>Hook>Hold LMB>Melee, which is something like 350+ damage if all pellets connect (not counting headshot damage).

I have 3000+ credits since I went a bit overboard with buying loot boxes and the previous 24 that I bought included mostly shitloads of currency. So I'm probably saving at least 2000 of it for whenever Blizz decides to patch in some new skins (or heroes). That could take a while though, since there wasn't any mention in the latest Kaplan copy-pasta and he seemed to make sure to include every bit of "this is why you should keep playing" argument. There's some really nice skins on all those you mentioned (except Tracer), but that's pretty much up to you :D

I'm guessing he means the enemy ultimates, in which case Zenyatta and Zarya and Lucio are good.

I think Zenyatta needs a buff. He's the most fragile hero, too easily killed. He either needs something to enhance his mobility (perhaps a flight power ala Pharah) or maybe make it so his orbs don't wear off after 3 seconds of the target leaving his sight so that he doesn't have to stick closely to his teammates.

10 seconds.

What's really stupid long is the downtime before matches. You get 30 seconds to pick a team, and then another minute waiting on the spawn point if you're attacking; they could just make the defenders spawn closer for the start of the game and cut 30 seconds of wait time honestly.

The hitregs in Roadhog's hook>shotgun combo seem to vary wildly from game to game. Most of the time it's fine, but some games I've hooked a Tracer/Zen and shot them point blank for only 75-100 health.

I remember at one point, I hooked a Tracer with only one round left in the chamber, it did like 100 damage point-point blank and the tracer just sat there not realizing she wasn't dead.

Well Roadhog's ult has a randomly occurring bug, maybe there's a lot more about him that's broken.

I'm still getting used to how long my DPI/sensitivity settings are and I'm trying to make them go lower. There's a couple times in there where you can see I am obviously used to being able to turn much quicker. It'll get there though.

I got the Huge Success achievement with Symmetra this morning (20 players teleported in a single match). It was on Volskaya industries. I found a good spot for the point A teleporter which is close to the point, but not on the obvious flanking routes, which means it will stay alive. Point B has few good places to put turrets, but many to place teleporters. It was really the match staying in Overtime for about a full minute or so that really let me get it though. I got it at like the last second as I was dying on the point (we lost).

Point-blank right? I typically 2 or 3 shot a Tracer with the alt fire, which seems fine. I love how much damage Torbjorn's melta-gun does.

It's 150 damage if all pellets hit, so not necessarily point blank but you do have to be pretty close.

Tonight feels really, really bad.



I pretty much lost most of my games tonight, but I'm happy with how I played. It's really frustrating doing well, but getting dismantled because the game puts you against stacks constantly and your teammates, while fine can't hold a candle to a coordinated effort.

Then there are games where your Roadhog runs face first into the enemy the entire game, and your Genji just flails around uselessly.

Teams don't change game after game, and team scramble is disabled when groups are playing together against pubs: where it's needed the most.

gold medal healing at low 3000's is probably the most egregious thing there, although gold medal damage at 4000 is pretty miserable too.

fwiw I think you'll have a hard time being effective as zenyatta if roadhog is your 'only tank' on the team.
