Yes. You will eventually get a warning and then a 75% xp penalty until your 'full game played' percentage goes back up the minimum. It is always based on your last 20 games played.

Okay, thank you. Maybe I'll hold off playing until rogers gets their poo poo together.

I am almost lvl 60 now and focused playing on 5 classes. Today I thought I try out Reaper and :stare:
I mean WTF?
Now I understand why he is instapicked in pub games: You just roam around, kill 15-20 enemies easily every loving round and die like twice the whole game. You morph iddqd style out of every dangerous situation, even out of Zaryas ult and only die when you got into the mayhem or flanked/hit by shots you did not see coming.
Reapers ult is loving strong and easy 2-4 kills every time and you can setup the massmurdering by beaming or morphing behind or above your foes.
You guns are op in infights and by spamming shots at far away opponents you still scatter enough to get cheap killassits.
His only weakness: he is slow. But it does not matter when you are invulnerable all 8 seconds anyway. Absolutely ridiculous.
Did I miss the nerf postings somehow?

Have you considered playing torbjorn instead? His gun does a lot of damage if you headshot players at close range.

While you wanna be sarcastic, my serious reply is that I farmed Torbs in my last games, he and his turret are free kills for Reapers.

Reaper is awful at destroying Torb turrets if they aren't in a position where he can just walk around a corner and shotgun them up close.

After a few dozen posts asking for Mystery Heroes to be added as a permanent mode, Jeff Kaplan finally seems to agree, although it looks like it'll take a couple months or so before it'll happen.

Jeff Kaplan posted:

Will see if there is a way we can either bring it back more frequently or make it more of a permanent thing. We're going to take a look at Brawls in general later this summer so we'll make sure this is part of the discussion.

There's also a bit more reaction to the current state of McCree.


Geoff Goodman posted:

Thanks for this discussion, it has been helpful reading everyone's thoughts and reactions.

There are a lot of good points in this thread so let me just say we'll be watching McCree closely after the last patch and we'll make sure he is still viable, useful and fun to play.

Roadhog remains Top Cookie imo

but the actual true best hero is Zarya in all seriousness. Isn't like Mercy who I have no issue with on my team as they do the heal and rez etc but sometimes you get that Zarya that just never shields properly ie when your actually shooting at a bad man and you're also taking damage

It is strangely hard to time shields well in games. My experience has been most of the time, unless the player was already really aggressive, they'll get shielded and run away. Which is annoying as all hell in most situations, but is worse when they're underfire for the first time, and opt to use the shield to retreat at full health rather than fight back.

I haven’t found it that hard, as long as you’re using it reactively and not trying to put up a barrier before you get hit.

99% of the time all it takes is waiting until someone starts hitting you or a teammate, then hit the button. Usually by the time they see the bubble and stop shooting, it’s too late and you’ve already got enough charge to melt their face off.

If you try to shield someone *before* they’re actively under fire- either the enemy will ignore them and shoot someone else, or your teammate will inexplicably turn around and run away because shields are scary i guess?
