So I've crossed over to the dark side and have been playing a lot of Hanzo. I've been pretty...iffy with him except I get to panicky in close quarters. So I decided to find out if flicking worked as well with him as it does my Mccree.

If anything else it's helped me consistently land body shots on Tracers that surprise me so I can force the recall and see if they'll come back at me with scatter ready to go. Gonna try and climb in comp this season and I bet I'll love loving teammates who will be overjoyed when they see me select him.

Orisa feels like the TF2 Heavy.

Still wish the nade change was live, but at least she not going to two shot you anymore from a distance. I am liking Orisa so far. Also liking the new Sombra changes, as she feels a lot faster and can be more aggressive now.

Man people get really pissy if you pick Orisa right now. Just spent three games not getting healed but teabagged by my own teammates. Did like at the start of the match having three people on my team immediately leave once I picked her.

I played a few rounds of no hero limits as orisa but then found out that it's actually really funny to play bastion against a bunch of her and just did that instead

she seems alright and her abilities are interesting, but I don't think I'm gonna end up playing much orisa

Doing this right now with a team of 6 Orisa's ane its funny. Shields everywhere. She can launch a shield like Zarya launches her alternate fire which is pretty cool.

It's actually better to compare it to a widow mine in terms of range. Also speaking of her, widow just shits all over orisa

Really getting good with her is gonna require learning when the best time to throw down a shield is. Despite the cooldown starting as soon as you put the shield down, you still want to use some strategy throwing it down, unlike Reinhardt where you can basically just leave it up until it breaks then take a break then put it back up again. I completely nullified a Solider ult earlier by throwing a shield down in front of the group the second his ult callout happened.

I launched one from the spawn after you cap A on Volskaya to the chokepoint at B, seemed pretty far.

You can also launch shields straight up into the air and they land after about 7 seconds, making your next shield on a much shorter cd. It's pretty handy on defense. Triple tank with Orisa/Roadhog/Zarya is a loving absurd amount of damage as well, and I wouldn't be surprised if that became commonplace

I wanted to play horsey but she was blanked out. Not cool Blizzard if your going to deem horsey balanced enough to be released than she should be balanced enough to be on competitive.

it's not about being balanced, it's about people whining incessantly about people picking the new hero in comp before they know how to play it

They aren't allowing people to play her in Competitive for at least a week so that people who don't have a clue how to play her effectively can learn her and get some practice in. Which is good considering if they didn't then we'd have people making GBS threads up the forums saying "Why are all these assholes picking Orisa when they can't play her for poo poo"

Not what I was saying but sure.


I've been having trouble hitting the slimmer characters past medium distance as Orisa. Apart from that she seems really strong and a solid addition to the cast.

This but swap Roadhog with Reinhardt on payload maps and add in Bastion was most of what I saw earlier.

I switched to dva after a couple rounds and was pleased at how useful her mobility and defense matrix was. You also really notice the difference between 150 rounds and infinite rounds.

I'm not going to play joke mode quickplay just to practice the easy poo poo tank hero they put into the game. People don't seem to realize there's very little learning curve on the vast majority of heroes. PTR exists I waited for this poo poo to be out of ptr now I get to wait even more because whiny dumb shits (who will no matter what) will complain? Lovely. Can't wait for "mains" to complain when I have 0 hours and pick her in competitive should be fun.
