Reaper El Blanco & Mariachi
Soldier 76 Daredevil & Stunt Rider
Tracer Punk & Ultraviolet

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.

Yeah, I wanted to do the math someday how many years of precious lifetime are wasted by that.
12 players per game, at least one minute wasted per round x hundreds of thousands rounds played.

Tbf the junkrat scarecrow skins suck because they cover his face, and he's like the one character in the game with some actual facial expressions you can notice in-game.

I think my favorite piece of animation in the game is Junkrat's character select pose. There is a part where he loses his grin and tilts his head downwards, a bit of a unsettled look. After three seconds the grin comes back and he starts looking into the camera again with his typical maniacal expression. It's like he forgot for a moment what he was going to do again, but then he realizes... we're going to blow poo poo up! and everything is a-okay again.

Agreed. They look great but the hair ruins it. It's doubtful they're going for the "it fucks with silhouettes" angle either, since some characters have poo poo that straight up changes their head entirely (looking at Hanzo's Wolf skins)

They need to fix that, too. Changing the voice lines is fine, but they really need to normalize the volume because it's stupid that having one skin would give you an actual advantage over another.

Does it seem to anyone else that the MVP card rewards longevity more than playmaking? I hate busting my rear end to clear the point only to find some do nothing Zenyatta getting MVP for spending the round hiding.

Play the objective and stay alive, or keep up a healthy KDR. You'll stay on fire that way. If you're constantly "flanking" but somehow not on fire I don't want you to get an MVP card.

I....I didn't say flanking once.

It mostly happens with timid teams that think if the just corner peek harder, we'll somehow take Anubis or whatever. Pushing requires taking risks and my regular pubbie experience is that they don't want to do that.

It's a pretty well known bug. It's somewhat hard to pull off consistently anyways.

You could do the "super dash" in beta just by dashing next to a wall, that was pretty fun. Now you have to do it just at the edge of a ledge. Honestly it doesn't give you any sort of huge advantage other than a few map shortcuts.

they should make one of the orbs last indefinitely but not the other; not sure which is more balanced

I'd say Discord, also doesn't need to be indefinite but it certainly needs to be longer than 3 seconds, 10 seconds I think would be good, also maybe increase Harmony to 5 seconds

Maybe it can be a big St. Bernard that drops health packs.

How about Armor packs instead, each gives about 20 to 30 armor and he can drop 3 to 4 before needing to cool down

Dog can leap onto enemies to stun them for a second.

Also a good idea, as for weapons, should he have a ranged one or should he be pure melee?

Ddraig posted:

I think Symmetra's shield ability needs to be scrapped and replaced by something else, personally. It would probably fix these kinds of balance issues in the future and would make her a slightly more involved character.

Wouldn't mind if they made her teleporter a regular ability(just give it a really long cooldown or something), and give her something else for an ultimate

No weapons, but whenever a tracer gets close she says "Puppy!" and becomes uncontrollable while petting the dog.

As much as I love playing Roadhog, I do think his Take a Breather should like, cancel if you're under fire.

It's frustrating as hell to get him down to low health, only to have him pop an uninterruptible ability that gets him back to basically full health then shotgun you in the face.

New Zenyatta ultimate ability idea:
"The Balls are Inert"

When activated Zenyatta makes a call out referencing this popular 2006 Dragonball Z meme video. None of your teammates laugh at the reference. Zenyatta stops floating and slumps to the ground, defeated. His orbs also fall and roll away on the ground lamely. During a ten second period Zenyatta is immobile but cannot take damage nor be affected by push back from enemy weapons.

Discord essentially renders the opponent unable to fight for the duration, it really doesn't need its duration extended.

If you can't out-damage it, just take the opportunity to get out of his range.
