Wow this was a 'amazing' potg Hanzo got after my team won the round.

No sound due to Shadowplay glitching out, but it was just Hanzo yelling and the PotG music playing.

Mei's ult should summon a giant ice elemental that shoots frostbolt at all enemies in LoS to freeze them

I want to say Genji, Soldier, Rein, or Hog, but it's honestly Ana. Forever nanoboost would decide everything and she'd be required.

Sometimes you reach a stalemate. Sometimes you get magic horses.
Zenyatta will get on an objective and then never get off of it in that rule set.

Nobody would kill him, though, and he'd zoom zoom zoom right back on. Meanwhile it'd still take at least a really good deadeye to deal with everyone else on the team if not the offending Zen.

The game would just devolve into entire teams sitting on points inside Transcendence until overtime and then it's down to which team better pulls off the Graviton+Selfdestruct/Deadeye combo with a Hog or Rein to push the Zenyatta away.

How much would symmetra's shield need to be to be worth

It might be nice if she converted some of people's existing health to shields rather than just adding new shielding. Self-regenerating health is really useful, but 25 shields is too little to get much use out of it, and adding 50 to people's base health is too powerful.

The 25 makes a difference in close 1v1s, and it protects you from getting 1 shot by road hogs

It would be nice if it was half your health, because the shields-down alarm is supposed to mean at least half your health is gone, not a D.Va is tickling you from halfway across the map.

there's people on reddit saying junkrat's riptire is bugged in season 2 and it's not being counted for kill stats, potg points, or the achievement :ohdear:

Huh pretty sure it's not just comp/season 2. Had a game of Numbani last night in QP
Where our Mei ult'ed 4 opponents in point A and I sent a riptire in from the stairwell behind the point and got a 3 kill (4th was behind payload I think). Anyway Mei got potg which I didn't mind and I did notice in stats after the match that the tire kill counter was 0 which was odd as I had another one earlier that blew a mccree sky high so it should've read 4. This would explain it.

platinum ranks are hell because there are always meis on either side and theyre both horrible until they throw an ult and then the push either moves forward or stops. mei is attractive to very bad players

I don't know if I'm imagining things but I really feel like they hosed with Roadhog's hook in this patch. Compared to the previous patch it seems like enemies are landing further away from me and it's much more difficult to land a full meatshot immediately after the hook (without having to move towards the hookee, which takes time). Can anyone confirm I'm not crazy?

Happening to me as well. Or else they land behind me. But usually further out.

They changed the way hooks work, yeah. It probably feels weird because you've learned to anticipate the wonky hooks, so now that they're wonky in a different way it feels off. You'll especially notice it when you hook a target moving laterally to you, it's like they reset to the position they were when they first got hooked and then slide straight to where you were when you landed the hook.

This is more or less how it works, yeah, when you hook someone moving laterally to you it's supposed to move them back to the position they were initially hooked at, then reel them in.

Is there anywhere else to find goons? The discord is a ghost town and I can't do another competitive match of genji, hanzo, widow with no healer or tank. I mean I'm scrub rank myself (2035) but come the gently caress on even I know you need a healer and a tank.

I think i will be scrub rank, 2 placement matches both complete losses despite getting medals in all games. Why do i get placed with idiots....
also Idiots that have no comms and don't even say anything except spam Hello in Spawn.

I had a similar experience at my level (50-56/2500-2600) until I started every game with saying hello over voice chat and asking people to join the channel. Nowadays I'm almost never in games where no one talks - and I win a lot more often (I think). People have been quite friendly in general as well.

I don't really have a problem with it since I play almost exclusively with a few friends so I'm too busy talking to them instead.

I played Eichenwald in QP once and it was sorta fun. Then my buddy and I played in the brawl a few times and it was maddening. Those players are awful. I haven't yet encountered it in comp games. :(

I've played Eichenwald twice now, once in QP and once in Comp. Both times (Twice on offense, once on defense) the action was at the bridge to the castle door, before the first(?) checkpoint with the payload. That's where we stopped the red team/won that comp round and where my team lost in QP because the flanking routes are just ridiculous.

As far as Mei is concerned. She is quite the verifiable bae. Nobody gives a gently caress if getting frozen is the worst experience in the world for you. Sorry, move on.

Due to Seagull, someone is always going to Genji, because a good Genji is amazing.
Hanjo can be fun as gently caress and infuriating to enemy players if you've got half decent aim. I got a nice pile of salt out of a red team Zarya last night after one-shotting her with scatter arrow 4 times in a row as she came out of their spawn on Dorado.

Blizzard just needs to come up with a way to rank people in comp that isn't dependent on their win/loss as the only variable.

EXISTENCE IS PAIN😬
I'm getting really goddamned sick of leavers in competitive mode. The previous 5 games I lost had at least one leaver, and just recently we had THREE people leave halfway into it. It seems like there's not enough steps taken to protect the players that are actually willing to stick around. Yes, I get that sometimes people get power outages/internet issues and stuff, but I wish something more can be done. At least in quickmatches you can have somebody fill in.
