I've never gotten camping the respawn animation down. I can never snipe people when they come out of mercy rezzes even though it looks like it should be easy.

the moment they stop being a fuzzy red shadow but unfortunately for you from their perspective they get to make 1 move before you get to shoot them so you should still be semi-leading

The influence of Brig at the OWL level is felt even without her on the field. Because while Brig may not be actively used much recently, neither is Tracer. That's because both teams know, if one of them picks Tracer the other will autopick Brig and destroy the ever-loving poo poo out of her. Tracer has gone from a central DPS in every game to a non-entity, due to Brig being even POSSIBLE to pick, without her having to be actually picked.

I played hog in DM because this thread told me to way back when, and he's literally the only thing I can stay alive with. I'm a symptom of the disease I hate!

Also I just played two deeply unsatisyfing QPs with the same randos where McCree refused to shoot Pharah (or anything else, as far as I could tell) and our whole team seemed to collectively make the unspoken decision that the best counter to a very good Hamball was to pretend he didn't exist, walk straight into mines, let him batter us relentlessly, and do nothing every time I stunned him down to a few health.

I take it all back and I'm going to learn to love the Deathmatch bomb. :cripes:

I stopped watching all YT overwatch people as they're all the same saying the same things, and none of them are entertaining. I watched a few of them pretty regularly for the first 6mo. or so of the game.

Hard to hit jumpy railgun/net guy sounds really close to the widow hard counter that I have been imagining (but in space chimp form). Especially if this is a low damage micro-railgun that you have to plink several times with.

The game needs a one pick widow counter like brig was to tracer.

if you ask me that's lucio he can attack widow from a blind spot easily by coming from above using the stage walls.

Instead of a new hero, can they just delete Bastion from the game. I loving hate him so much due to anytime he shows up in mystery hero, nobody knows how to loving kill him.

Bastion sucks if you're a tank or a healer but he gets hard countered by almost every single other DPS, so you know who to blame if nobody deals with him.

clearly you haven't played ow, it's literally never the dps's fault ever

if they can't kill anything and die constantly it's entirely because you're not healing/tanking well enough, always

Also you can't really say a character is overpowered because they're better in Mystery Heroes or Death Match. Both of those modes are completely different to the regular game of "6 players on a team who can switch between heroes when they want."

Exactly. In regular mode Bastion is pretty easy to deal with and never a problem for the most part. Mystery Hero he is always a pain since you can't get the right character to deal with him. Torb used to be the same in MH, but his new ult means less of suddenly dealing with a 600 HP turret who instant kills you if your too close.

This has already been proven false by a Korean leak of the name of the Hearthstone expansion, which is not "Secrets of the Sea". The theme is unrelated to the one this person mentioned, so it's safe to say the rest of this is also wrong.

Mystery Heroes mostly gets frustrating because most of the time I'm like "If I or a not-stupid teammate were to get Junkrat, we could just spam grenades over walls to break Orisa/Rein barriers and destroy these guys but lo and behold it always goes to the guy who has to spend ten minutes circling around the outside of a level just to get hit once and retreat.

Semi off topic, but there was a kid was trick-or-treating last night with his brother. They were pretty obviously Genji and Ant Man. I asked what they were because the kids usually like saying it. I pegged right on that the Genji kid was tired of old parents saying they don't know what he was because it sounded like nerd poo poo and keep that nerd poo poo away from a cool old person like me (I'm speaking from experience on that). He just told me he was a ninja. So I told him that he couldn't fool me, and that I knew it was Genji even without the mask. He lit up and I chatted with his dad to see if my assumption was right and they were like yeah, old people were being kinda lovely about not knowing who it was.
