weird that a support class would involve making calls to teammates to tell them where to go to get healed

I like the idea of shooting a s76 heal grenade somewhere, because it means the heal sniper can sit back and throw it in choke points to help the team get through without risking much personally which no other healer can do. You could use it to breadcrumb your team into a good position.

Her attack will probably be something similar to Widow's poison trap, probably with a larger radius and more DoT.

Personally I wish they were working on some kind of tanky short range healer I can switch to when I'm getting dived and instantly murdered by the enemy team.

That's just Zarya, learn to predict with her bubbles and they are basically heals!

Lucio is kind of that way if you count speeding around and jumping with his healing mode on a lot as "tanking." I agree that a "paladin" or crusader style healer would be great, though.

This idea involves a few things: Step 1: Gibraltar Step 2: Attack Step 3: Take the first point Step 4: Switch to 6 Bastions or 3 Bastion/3 Torb Step 5: plop one Turret mode (or turret) on each floating platform Step 6: Watch the horror

Samara posted:I mean having to shoot a friendly target to heal them (while they hop around) would be hard as gently caress? How would it be any harder than bodyshotting an enemy as Widowmaker? Both allies and enemies have a tendency to move in predictable patterns that you can exploit.

Mystery Machine posted:Did a patch actually come out? Where can I view the notes? Overpwn doesn't have a source link, but here's the notes: GENERAL Competitive Play The duration of Sudden Death has been adjusted across all maps from 1m45s to the following values: Assault: Hanamura 1m35s Temple of Anubis 1m30s Volskaya Industries 1m35s Escort: Dorado 1m30s Route 66 1m35s Watchpoint: Gibraltar 1m35s Hybrid: Kings Row 1m30s Numbani 1m50s Note: Sudden Death duration is unchanged for Hollywood, which remains at 1m45s BUG FIXES General Fixed a bug that prevented Overtime music from playing on Escort and Assault/Escort maps, if they payload was nearing the final checkpoint Fixed a bug where display settings werent always saved after restarting the client Fixed an issue that sometimes caused the in-game UI to display incorrectly at 4k resolutions Fixed a bug where sometimes the wrong player level would appear in the Social menu Maps Fixed an issue with collision not blocking line of sight on certain areas of Nepal Heroes Fixed a bug that caused Mercys Caduceus Staff beam to disconnect from its target if the player a) quickly switched between healing and damage beams by holding down both mouse buttons and/or b) was facing away from the target at the time of the switch Fixed even more bugs that allowed Reaper to Shadow Step to unintended locations on certain maps Fixed a bug that caused Winstons melee attack during Primal Rage to inconsistently hit targets in range Fixed a bug that sometimes caused Zaryas alternate fire to scale incorrectly with her damage boost modifier Competitive Play Fixed a bug that caused the Top 500 icon to incorrectly display for certain players in various places throughout the game UI Fixed a bug that sometimes caused players Skill Rating to display as 64 during placement matches Fixed an issue where if you left and rejoined an in-progress Competitive Play match, the game would still track the match as a loss in your placement match history and when determining the amount of Skill Rating you receive for completing a match even if your team won Note: You must be present for the conclusion of the match to be eligible for the win. If you leave a match and do not rejoin again before its over, it will count as a loss both in your placement match history and when calculating your Skill Rating adjustment. Fixed an issue where you would still receive a Competitive Play leave penalty even if you rejoined a match and completed it Note: If you leave a single Competitive Play match more than 3 times, you will receive a Competitive Play leave penalty even if you complete the match.

I feel like you would have to work through so many waves of defense ults especially on two point maps. I guess double lucio offense can rush the point pretty easily and make symmetra fairly weak.

I played 4 brawls last night and the attackers won every time.  Also it's annoyingly hard to tell your own team's Zen ults from the other team's when there are two of them going off at once.

Back when TF2 came out I suggested a syringe gun that fired healing syringes, everyone called me crazy because "the medic already has a ranged healing weapon". I was more picturing healing artillery, so I can look across the screen and see 3 teammates in the same corner all hurting for health, and fire a couple long range aid canisters their way- something like that, anyway. I was laughed out of multiple forums

I think a heal grenade is a funny idea, if you think about the type of healing Omniknight has in Dota, where it heals allies and harms enemies. Could make a fun dynamic with a tank.

Eventually we will have a support matched to every guntype. Imagine if it was like Pharah, but her rockets healed. Imagine if it was like Junkrat, but his balls bounced then healed. Imagine if it was like Reinhardt, but his hammer ... healed.* * This would actually rule.

A friend of mine has always enjoyed the idea of a stealth medic class. Something that's not meant for combat at all but instead zips around shadows to heal the team. Dunno how it could work but it's a neat idea.
