Associate Justice Lena "Kegels" Dunham: An uncool thought to have: 'is that guy walking in the dark behind me a rapist? Never mind, he's Asian.
In mech: Reaper and Roadhog will gently caress your life up if you try to stand and slug it out with them, though the new matrix helps a lot
Out of mech: Zero Suit DVa's only survivability comes from a skinny hitbox, so Winston Soldier and Symmetra are awful

Roadhog is actually fun to play reload chicken with now; he only has 4 shots, so each one you can matrix is huge

Doesn't think, just types.
It seems like I'm pretty much forced to play 76 in every game now because nobody else is able to take down a Pharah. Hanzo? "Someone go soldier and kill the Pharah". McCree? SOLDIER KILL THE PHARAH. Roadhog? Nope, can't hook the Pharah.

The last six or so games I've been forced to play grandpa because otherwise the enemy Pharah flies unhindered, raining down rockets like a seagull rains poo poo.

I think I understand how support mains feel now.

I would say a fully-charged Zarya can ruin your day in or out of the mech (splash damage is a real pain when you're out of the mech), and Soldier can definitely engage you in-mech outside your effective range, sprint to keep that distance, and just bait your matrix until you run out.

Granted, these operate on the assumption that you're playing Dva as though her rocket boost didn't exist/form a meaningful part of her intended playstyle. With the booster being on like a 6 second cooldown you really should be able to pick your engagements and disengage as soon as you lose the advantage, and neither Soldier nor Zarya have the ability to keep you from just taking off.

I kind of felt like this last night. For a few games in a row I was either going Soldier to kill the enemy Pharah (sometimes Pharahs) or I was going Pharah because nobody on the enemy team was playing midrange hitscan and I would be basically invincible.

It's so much fun to shut down DIEDIEDIE. Other methods: hook, Winston shield. The shield's pretty fun against Reapers anyway, I find that when I drop it they walk inside, but if I back up they stay inside shooting at me and don't realize they're not hitting.

I keep getting a weird bug where my mic will work for the first 30 second of a match, and then will cut out for most of the remainder. The little 'beep' sound when pressing push to talk stops working also.

sound control panel shows input being registered while this is happening. Used to work fine, one day it just didn't. any ideas?

The AUDACITY! The IMPUDENCE! The unabated NERVE!
McCree+Zenyatta is a new wombo combo of "murder all the things". Zenyatta gives McCree sustain and the discord Orb basically gives you old beta McCree, and McCree+Zenyatta is a DPS monster. I'd even wager a lineup of Dva, McCree, Zenyatta, Mercy, Zarya and Reaper will be the new balls to the wall aggressive meta.

The decreased detonation time on D.Va's ult is insane to the point I already see myself bitching about it in the future.

... unless I suddenly start playing her all the time, then it's fine and should never be changed.

Does that mean it was *only* those two? Or are Pharah rockets and Lucio wubs and so forth also hit

Yeah honestly for the majority of the playerbase the first indication that there is a new hero may well be when they see them on the select screen.

It's gonna be 3 Ana's per team for a while. :shrug:

Does anyone know what Ana says when you sleep dart a ulting Pharah? She said "justice something something" but it was loud with a bunch of ults going at the same time so I missed it.

They've seemed to have toned down all physics on the basketballs quite a bit. You can't really punt them as far as you could before.

This is of course a complete nerf to the most pro strat in the game

I guess it's a bit more like Reaper's ult now, in that you have to try to see it coming before it's actually triggered.
