"Go on until you're stopped."
I mean, they do keep nerfing Brigitte's ability to fight DPS on her own, while not doing much about the fact that lots of HP and lots of healing make DPS superfluous.

yeah it'll be interesting to see how the armor change affects that. but if your take on the game up until this patch was "god they keep making GBS threads on supports and tanks in favor of DPS characters! (ps: delete hanzo)" your opinion is absolutely divorced from reality

Since we're complaining now in this thread as well, it's pretty cool that widow's 300 damage headshot hasn't been nerfed ever. Epic win imo.

having played a couple of hundred hours of tanks, most of the shotgun characters aren't really the thing that ever felt too annoying to deal with. Obviously, you have to watch the reaper as winston, but how's he gonna catch you? The worst things have always mostly ignored armor like out of LoS junkrats, pharah, snipers, and so on. Course, most of those can't do poo poo if I'm in a goatsquad.

If you're rolling reaper right now and brigitte ults you're pretty much throwing if you don't swap to something else.

Would that mean that a mercy pocketing a reaper would be bettwr off applying a damage boost to heal the reaper as opposed to using the healing beam?

(factoring in 100% accuracy on the part of the reaper...)

if he's scrapping yeah -- I mean, if the reaper is within 5m and is putting shots into like the back of a dva.

Generally Mercy does not want to be close enough to apply healing or damage buff to reaper at that range. At 10m reaper damage is cut in half, so all the lifesteal goes down.

5m is like reinhardt swing range, 20m is hog hook/moira basic damage range for an idea

Brigitte is the new Mercy*

*(a support hero whose abilities force DPS players to have to stop and think for a second or two, so naturally they focus all their ire against her until Blizzard inevitably acquiesces to their demands and continues to make Overwatch even less fun for non-DPS players) :ssh:

100x this. Apparently Brigitte being able to gently caress up a genji/tracer who gets within her SHORT AS gently caress range is game-breaking, but having these characters able to enter and exit the fight at will is absolutely loving crucial and anything that punishes them at all is going to get patched right out. They already killed the damage so she can't combo a guaranteed kill anymore, but I guess that's just not enough.

Mystery Deathmatch has just reaffirmed my belief that Zarya should be able to bubble other players in DM to interfere with kills and to power up.

What's up with the weirdos who never ever post except when some 90℅ winrate support gets mildly tuned down in order to get mad at the (((DPS))) illuminati with posts that are basically copy and pasted from mercy mains posts on the Official Blizzard Forum or perhaps a Tumblr blog that hasn't played the game in four years and thinks headshot are not meaningfully different then tf2 random crits.

The tf2 sniper could generate his own body shot crits by tossing a mason jar full of his own pee at enemies.

It was a map where you set your server for 24/7 2fort, bring in 50% more players than it was designed for, and the map objective would rarely ever be achieved. Bonus points for turning on instant respawn.

~Bad Opinions~

Most importantly, it was a CTF map with no/very long time limit. Since the objective was so hard to cap with that many players, it just became a goofing around map.

It also has some serious design issues, like having all routes to the flag go via the enemy spawnpoint.

2Fort was the most awful map if you actually tried to go for the objective.

I got pretty good at going up the drop down as a force scout. You could run past the spawn turrets to the spiral without getting hit.

Yeah, you effectively had to fight your way right past the enemy spawn doors on the way in, and then again on the way out (with enough time between for them to respawn).

It also was a CTF map, so not only did you have to go right by their spawn room, you had to do so *twice* in order to retrieve the flag.

It was so drat satisfying to actually score a capture on 2Fort, though.

Shame there no custom servers with more then 12 players. Would love a goon 32 server, that nobody cares about reporting and then spraying awful pictures at the doors.

it basically is what you imagine. the "main" point was a higly iconic two facing battlements upon which on a team of 12, at least 4 snipers would try to click on each other's heads. the spawns were directly next to these battlements so if you killed a sniper you'd be seeing them again in 15 seconds tops. folk could cross the moat on a bridge if they were stupid or they could use mobility skills to cross the gap between bases in an eyeblink and elicit a lot of rage chat from the 4 battlement snipers on the other team, not helped by the fact that when they were done typing, you were 100% ready to spawn camp them and kill them again, because all the spawn rooms were basically adjacent to the battlements. then you merely had to navigate a series of tight corridors to nab the flag, then do it all again as you escaped except 100% of the people killed will be spawning and running directly into you on the way out.

its a stupid loving map for idiots. its the first map i played in TFC in the pre-9-11 days, and its my favorite TFC map. it's so awful.

SA servers shunned this, which is why they lasted as long as they did.

I think we were playing on different Lost Continents because I don't remember any racist poo poo. Everyone was chill and had a good time when I was there (2009-2011ish).

I was a bit before that time (2008-2010) but yeah I don't remember it being bad at all aside from the occasional breakout of drama and whining whenever one of the good snipers or scouts would show up and wreck everyone.
