You should be able to solo win a game by just holding down lmb with Reinhard and walking forward in the rank 20's from what I have seen in streams.

ImpAtom posted:Wait, your argument is that "people don't like to control and stun enemies?" because that's hilariously wrong. Don't mix control and stuns, they are completely different (in the way I am arguing at least). I think people would generally agree in twitch based games to have stuns removed but leave crowd control and headshots in. If that's not the case after someone takes a poll or something I would accept it, but that's my general perception Let's just say 'non-stun based control' and 'stuns' are two different things Shammypants fucked around with this message at 18:54 on Jul 12, 2016 |

The clip makes it look like she heals/hurts about 75 damage a shot, which makes her a better single target healer than Mercy if you can hit.

Sindai posted:The clip makes it look like she heals/hurts about 75 damage a shot, which makes her a better single target healer than Mercy if you can hit. Kind of depends on the rate of fire, ammo use, reload time, etc. Also if there's a reason to scope or if you can just sit on an ally's butt spam clicking them. Quite often healing is going to be about burst throughput, as in can you keep a teammate up while they kill an enemy or two who are currently attacking them. Also still wondering if healing headshots do anything, or if there's no locational effect. Lots of questions, and it's many hours before I can go home and hit the PTR.

According to here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Overwatch/comments/4si6ie/overwatch_patch_notes_competitive_character/ Along with the Zen buff (200 HP!) and Dva change, they are reworking mercy a bit: Mercy: Can now move while ulting Ult build up rate reduced Damage Boost on RMB increased I'm hoping that is a big reduction in ult build up rate.

I hope Blizz stays away from giving characters different kits for all the reasons everyone else has said. While I enjoyed the different weapons in TF2 OW doesn't feel like it would mesh as well with a system like that. More characters, Blizz!

Considering that each character is another pile of loot crates to dig through I don't think you have to worry about it. Blizzard is happy for people to continue to buy dozens of sprays to finally get that one skin they want. Adding weapons to existing characters doesn't encourage you to buy buy buy!

If that's not the case after someone takes a poll or something I would accept it, but that's my general perception If people really hated stuns then you'd have people campaigning to have Reinheart removed from the game between his pin and his ult. Being able to lock down an enemy without killing them for a time period is a perfectly valid thing in a game where multiple characters have quick instant escapes. You may not like being unable to move for a period of time but it is something the game is designed around.

I fully expect Mercy's ult to get utterly insanely large charge times. Even doubling her charge time would probably be reasonable considering how fast it comes up.

Not sure I like having the shoot to heal thing on a sniper, it would've been nicer on some assault class. Something like the medic in Evolve, where you shoot projectiles like Zarya's M2 that heal allies.

Now she'll just be a walking E button it's always better to undershoot / go for incremental balance changes first because a tiny change is sometimes all it takes to rocket a character into viability even when you'd least expect it (although arguably sometimes is the result of a change in perception and not just balance) second because overshooting and then having to dial it back makes you look like an idiot and upsets people who were enjoying the new thing

ImpAtom posted:I fully expect Mercy's ult to get utterly insanely large charge times. Even doubling her charge time would probably be reasonable considering how fast it comes up. Eh, most people think of the super ults where a Mercy zoomed in out of nowhere and plopped an entire team back on the point to win the match, but realistically you have to wait a long time for those situations to come up anyway. I've played plenty of Mercy and while, yes, your ult does come up pretty quickly, most of the time you're only looking at ressing one, maaaaaaaybe two people if you're lucky. And situations where they do something useful and don't just immediately get mowed down again by the enemy are even rarer. I don't think this change will have much of an effect, outside of making bad Mercys who hung on to their ult the entire match waiting for that awesome PotG moment even worse.
