Wow, that sure is an unnecessary DVA nerf. Her damage was already garbage!

I use the stylized Varian with all the ?s around his head on 99% of my loadouts. Whenever someone on either team does something idiotic you can drop it on the ground. Murky led you directly to his egg? Spray. Enemy hero walked into the death zone of your base on spooky cannon towers? Spray. Guy just keeps trying to activate/collect the objective while you beat on him and cancel his channeling every time? Spray.





I get way more mileage out of it than anything else, for sure.

Yeah I use that one on pretty much all mine as well.

People were mad about D.va's damage output because she's already an amazing tank who can control fights very easily with her "stop dealing damage" flashlight.

Also the fact that she effectively has two healthbars, which is a big smelly deal for several reasons.

Fats Dominar is on the case


god drat loving lovely rear end teammates

I bombed my placements this time, and almost every single loss was directly attributable to one specific window licking idiot on the team. Two games in a row it was the same person. Then I placed gold 5, giving me a HUGE climb back up to where I was, and lost my first two games for the same reason-- one due to a feeding Sylv who ended the game with 12 deaths, half the team's total, and the other to a dehaka who was allergic to being near the team and died over and over trying to split push.

I'm tilted as hell right now.

You can think so, but it's still going to end with you walling your teammate in with the Butcher.

Don't think so. The zombies can still be meleed through with most dudes. I mean maybe it'd cancel/stop the stun but you'll still wind up with them trapped in melee of the butcher, you're doubly screwing them over if it fires off at just the wrong time and butcher is IN the wall with them.

Use the boost to peel, save the bomb for when it looks like you're about to die, put the field on whoever seems dangerous, and have 2 health bars.

Yeah (at least pre nerf) her Q was deceptively good at killing dudes. Not to mention if you circled behind a character you could bump them back towrds your tem and then use the slow on W to help your team catch up.

I wish they'd redo Probius. He feels kind of half assed. His warp rifts/explosions doesn't fit him at all, I feel like they gave him it due to being unable to balance a more probe-like hero. And Null Gate is probably the worst ult in the game. I guess it looks cool but why a giant gate that slows, when he casts slow fields everywhere to start with?

Imagine if he had a push build where he could build a Gateway that spawned Zealots from minerals mined, or a Forge to give the team temporary buffs. You can get so creative with him and what we got is just a disappointment.
