I'm aware, it just sucks because I'm bored and don't really have much to do right now.

Another one I liked on ptr was the skull and crossbones have been replaced with a hero portrait when someone dies. e: Once again they don't actually list the Rocket Punch changes (a slight buff back to his hitbox) anywhere lol turtlecrunch fucked around with this message at 19:43 on Sep 19, 2017 |

Can you still cancel the mini missiles with a melee attack and end up with a couple ghost missiles spilling out? nope resistentialism fucked around with this message at 23:18 on Sep 19, 2017 |

Manatee Cannon posted:I've revised my opinion: this map really loving sucks for the attackers they finally added a gigantic, los free widow snipe range on the first third of the map, and it's exactly as awful to play against widow as you would expect. the central area seems abominable for attackers mostly. there's just raised cliffs looking right down on the payload on both sides lol

I am convinced that the new version of D.Va is an overall buff and it'll take a while for players to get good enough at juggling everything she can do now.

its not really a buff or a nerf so much as dva was removed from the game and a new hero was added

There's a lot of doomsaying on bnet that the D.Vs changes are a straight nerf and that she's going to be dumpstered. This is early days yet and the bnet forums are complete garbage, but I wouldn't be surprised if sometime in the next month or so they continue to tweak both Mercy and D.Va more regardless of how much water the doom and gloom holds just from sheer complaining alone. Plenty of people over there seem extremely unhappy with the move towards less mitigation and more damage, so hopefully they go ignored in that respect at least.

my experience with the new d.va hasn't made her seem weak at all. doomfist and soldier were noticeably weaker after their big nerfs, but I've actually died to more d.va's now than before like she might fall off in pro play, idk, but I don't think this is gonna kill her in qp/ranked. they might need to tweak her a bit but d.va seems pretty ok to me

New Mercy is fun as heck. I like not needing to feel like I need to save my res for multiple people; being able to decide "what we really need right now is our D.va back" is nice, and being able to fly around giving mass healing/damage during the ult is fun too.

if nudva is weak just converting more health to armor and/or reducing cooldown on rockets would help a lot to shore up her weaknesses I think

Ravenfood posted:I'm bad with her, but at first glance she feels weaker but that's also because I keep trying to play her like I would old-DVa. I find myself taking a lot more damage than I'd expect because I keep not having DM available to protect myself, so i'm over-extending and dying a lot right now. That's not to say she's bad at all, she might very well have gotten more powerful, but at the moment, everyone is trying to play her like they used to and struggling. I know I am. Hopefully they let people play with her a bit more and get used to what is effectively a major change in playstyle before they tweak anything. This is where I'm at. A lot of D.Va and Mercy players have had multiple seasons if not the entire duration of the game to build gameplay habits and these changes necessitate a new approach. The Overwatch community can be extremely slow to adopt stuff. Even at the pro level it was months and month before Sombra found use as more than a weird gimmick. Mercy and D.Va will now be strictly worse at mitigation than they used to, but Overwatch is an FPS instead of an MMO or MOBA and the concept of tanking or supporting shouldn't be stuck in those mindsets imo.

Hot D.Va tip: Swap the hotkeys for Matrix and Micro-Missiles, so Missiles is on your M2. Helps with aiming it properly.

I figure d.va mk2 is closer in how good she is to current hog, where she is actually usable and good players can excel if they know what they're doing, as opposed to old hog, where you were just wasting everybody's time

same thing for Mercy. it's insane how much you need to track and pay attention to everyone's position now to properly utilize resurrect.

In a weird roundabout way the Mercy rework makes Symmetra's teleporter the best option for "poo poo we just got wiped off the map and need to get back on the point asap." I wonder if Symmetra is going to see an increase in pickrate/usage or if it'll remain consistent.

The last one I played was a 5man group and a solo vs a 4man group and 2 solos and the 5man on the other team was actually playing as a team and the 4man on my team were all sticking their dicks in the electrical outlet over and over again

You can't cancel DVA's boosters for something like the first half second of its duration at all now. You can even melee attack during that early portion of it and it'll keep going. It makes blowing the cooldown for quick extra damage or a sudden bump off a cliff a little more cumbersome
