Self sustain is only really powerful when your support goes down. That said, Roadhog and Soldier 76 are definitely both really good, and I would prefer if it both had some healthpacks, and a point to cap after a certain amount of time ala tf2 to prevent cheesy stalling tactics.
Yeah, a point needs to open up after awhile to force a confrontation, preferably with a single healthpack somewhere else on the map.

Lucio and Mercy in the 1v1 would take literally forever to end, since they can easily restore the health if you miss just one shot.

I seem to be unable to adjust the keybindings of ALL my hero’s. The game is only allowing me to adjust like two-third of them. After doing so I will get disconnected from the server when saving more changes..Does anyone knows how to fix this? I’ve already contacted Blizzard to no avail and I see the same problem occurring at the blizzard forums some now and then without any response from Blizzard self or any wokable solution whatsoever. Now I can play about 15 hero’s. When I feel like playing one of the hero’s outside of this rebinded group I need to reset all, which is terrible already, and choose another 15 hero’s I would like to play and think about which hero’s i do not want to play. It’s really annoying as my key set up is completely different from the default as I am a lefty and have a lot of functions binded onto my mouse. I don’t even use AWSD to give you an idea. Plz halp

Funny thing is, I used to play with a right handed trackball for years. Mostly strategy games and RPG’s though. Somehow my Phara play was relatively good, manouvring and aiming with phara using a Logitech trackball on my right thumb (lol) went really well. At the end of S1 I decided to get a decent left handed (Razer) mouse and a mechanic (Steelseries) keyboard because i felt like trying really hard to get gud and eventhough it improved all my hero’s I still am not as effective with Phara as I used to be with the trackball during season 1

I'm a lefthanded mouse user and like it legit hurts sometimes to do wsad with my right hand but I've mostly trained myself to do it, although jumping with a spacebar you press with your pinky just feels awkward as gently caress. It's probably why I still prefer to play on console though. For me I have a mouse that lets me bind letters to my mouse keys and putting 'E' there has really helped.

I don't really enjoy the 1 v 1s or 3 v 3s that much but also 6 v 6 no limit and the playlist shuffle are both loving hell. The team with the competent healer and either D.Va or Winston beats the full 6 Sombras every time but convincing people to do that on the PS4 is hard.

People just hope you wander into their parlor and will literally wait until the draw, but most people suck at setting up turrets and also for some reason try to generally replace any turrets you take down so you just kill one and wait for them to replace it slightly out of sight and come in and then cook them alive.

The way I won was once he was visible to me I could see where he kept stepping back so I just went down there and laid turrets near his but just out of sight, then rushed in, took some damage, and backed out into my own death trap.

It was horrible and I never want to do it again.

The other one I really didn't enjoy was d.va 1v1. If you are the first one out of mech but the enemy has really low hp congrats you won because you will get your mech back significantly earlier and murder them

I use the arrowkeys for movement, Numlock 0 for jumping (pinky) , Numlock 1 for status and the other numbers for emotes/communication and such. End key for muting my mic. Everything else is binded on my mouse. Works fine but I can't make them default for every hero because the lay out may differ quite much in between tanks and dps'ers for example.

I had this last patch. The fix was to reset EVERYTHING to default and start making the whole thing over again. Takes a few minutes, but being able to play all the heroes is worth it. I think their patch process breaks this on the regular. I haven't installed it yet, so I'm looking forward to doing this all again myself. EDSF for life.

No, it involves running full-on directly at each other and the first person to lock the beam on wins. It's a 12 second pointless round. Sombra's kind of the same. Just run each other down and shoot, better aim wins.

So I remember hearing for the junkenstien event if you had regular unopened regular loot boxes before the event started, they turned into halloween boxes once it began. So would it make sense to try to have some saved on hand now? I know at very least it would work to save some coins anyways. Nice to see the updates finally live, though I can't see my self using sombra anytime soon outside no limit and mysterious choice games. She's going to be slammed picked for the next while, she is a cool character though.

The AUDACITY! The IMPUDENCE! The unabated NERVE!
The most degenrate 3v3 combo is still Roadhog, S:76 and Ana. Despite nerfs, all three will still generate their ult stupid fast. They have really insane self sustain, stupid high DPS (They can bust a Reinshield in 4s) and Ana's sleepdart will make or break a round. Nanoboosted Soldier annihilates as a win condition so you can't let the round drag on very long or you're hosed, which means walking into Hog hooks.

Zarya, Lucio and Sombra might work to break it, Sombra generates ult fast enough that an EMP may allow you to dive the Hog and win.

You are wrong to think this, stupid to believe it would ever be feasible, and a loving embarrassment to your family for lacking the cognitive faculty to let it past what most people call a bullshit filter. I can't loving believe anyone would get duped like this anymore since it's easily checkable but here we are, like a child asking about whether poop really does taste like chocolate.

No, you can not "bank" boxes. For any event. Ever. The boxes are seeded upon bring earned and cannot be changed.

It is completely false. Loot boxes contents are generated when they show up in your inventory so you can't "save" them for anything. If I had to guess the opening lootbox animation was just changed to the "halloween" animation for the boxes already in your pile and someone took that and ran with it.

1v1 seems kinda goofy, can't imagine how hard it is to win a 1v1 Lucio duel. Must take forever. 3v3 seems quasi-moronic because there are no healthkits (that I can see?) so heroes with self-sustain are brutally overpowered compared to those without. Something like Lucio, Roadhog and Mei can crush nearly any lineup. That's only general first impressions, I'm sure people will figure out some degenerate combos/gimmicks.

Rein, Ana, McCree annihilates that lineup.

Self sustain is really good in 3s, but basically nothing is better than a really good Ana. Her healing is through the roof, her DPS is good, grenade shuts down enemy self sustain, and landing sleep dart is basically a guaranteed pick for your team.
