I think if you die and get to come back to life there's very little room to complain that the location you were ressed in wasn't perfect. Firstly because you got to come back to life, and secondly because you're the one who chose to stand there.

Firstly because you got to come back to life, and secondly because you're the one who chose to stand there. For my example, it's more to do with "I don't get a say in when I respawn, since Mercy gets to decide that for me (also, I may have resigned to switch characters, but w/e). At the very least, let me have an opportunity to reposition, which I would have had, had I spawned back at base." More useful during QP, probably less useful on a well organized team, I'll admit.

Minrad posted:all I want is a button I can push to despawn my corpse and stop getting rezzed battlefield did this after the hilarious debacle that was the bad company 2 revive system you had no choice in the matter when a medic revived you and you could be revived infinitely as long as they reached your body in time. you weren't invincible when brought back, there was no auto kick for idling, and being revived kicked you out of the menus so you could get stuck in an infinite res chain where the only way to escape was to completely shut the game. the kicker? each individual death was counted against you. the potential for griefing was limitless

That reminds me when I tried playing BF1 as a medic and everyone kept forcing a respawn before I could get to them to revive them. Great teamwork guys.

Have to agree that rez does need to be nerfed a bit. Not only does it make Mercy the best healer in the game uncontested, but god does it make matches where you don't have one unplayable. Mystery Heroes especially feels like once a team gets a Mercy they've gained a massive advantage over the team that doesn't.

Crossposting from the Chill thread: I was extremely bored, so I made a poll/google form for your objectively wrong opinions on the best Overwatch skin for each character. Got a bit lazy though and subsumed the classic skins with their recolors into one option. https://goo.gl/forms/kkudfmN8rvSOZDMR2 Feel free to share the link.

I've found that while flying to a dead soul as Mercy does not allow one to spam the 'e' button for a rez. There seems to be an almost 1-full-second cooldown after hitting 'e' that I am then allowed to revive someone I am standing on top of. I'm not sure if it's a bug or if I need to be more patient on waiting until the prompt shows up on-screen before pressing the key to perform the action.

Mercy has basically become mandatory at this point and it kind of sucks  I don't want her to go back to the way she used to play because it encouraged a lovely way of playing, but if you don't have a Mercy on your team and the other team does you're more than likely gonna be at a huge disadvantage

Macaluso posted:Mercy has basically become mandatory at this point and it kind of sucks Not more than likely, guaranteed. Playing against a team with a Mercy while yours doesn't is, assuming equal skill levels, effectively like playing at a permanent numbers disadvantage. Even in a balanced match skillwise, nobody wants to play a perpetual 5v6 when they're the 5.

He was fine where he was honestly, the second conc mine just made everyone already good with Junk Rat way better and started a wave of idiots slam picking him.

Junkrat makes support positioning so much harder. I've been having trouble adapting to what should be safe vs where he can lob 2 consecutive mines or instatire or even just a lucky grenade bounce. Maybe that's a good thing for the game. I dunno. I get really frustrated when they are good.

Main Paineframe posted:Clearly all the other supports need to be buffed so that they're equal to having an extra person too Ana's darts now pierce through people and get widow levels of headshot critical healing/damage. Lucio's boop slams people into the wall like doomfist and his healing auras have an opposite effect on the enemy in terms of DOT/slow. Zen's transcendence is now his E ability and his ult makes him grow huge pecs and his kick does 1000 damage on melee. That would about even it up.

If you're going to Nerf Junkrat, conc mine to 90 damage, trap to 120 damage, and fix his projectiles. Tire is fine, do not touch the tire you bastards, it's a nice soft counter to deathball.

Semper Fudge posted:The best thing about Mercy being broken is that all the cries for kneejerk nerfs to Junkrat seem to have died off Junkrat did get a slight "nerf" in that he no longer gets absurd speedboosts on his tire when jumping off a wall, which means that you can actually shoot the tire now, which was probably the most frustrating part about Junkrat. He could stand a slight ult charge reduction. He does still have a stupidly high winrate, but yes, Mercy is a much bigger problem than Junkrat. Junkrat is probably still too good, but like... not a crazy amount. I did new winrate delta graphs for the past week or so. I don't really have time to go over them with a fine toothed comb or anything, but things that stand out are: -D.Va's winrate is actually higher than it was previously. -Ana's winrate is way down, and Lucio's winrate is a little suppressed too. This is unsurprising, since Ana is the de-facto replacement for Mercy (she's down like 3%). -Widow is back to pre-buff performance. This also is unsurprising. Widow is really bad against new-mercy, since most of her impact is being able to reach out and delete a backline hero every once in a while, which Mercy can now instantly undo every 30 seconds. Here's the newest graph:  embiggen and here's the most recent one from the prior patch:  embiggen

His amount of games played in GM over a given week is probably less than 100 or so. But yeah, Bastion is the hottest garbage at GM. Regardless, I totally thought this was the tryhard thread. Nevertheless, hello general thread, I hope you like graphs.
