Numbani is another one that really sucks

Also whoever at Blizzard decided that a partial capture can be a way to win is an absolute dildo and I'd love to smash their kneecaps with a shovel if I had the opportunity

Be glad they changed it from the time when your enemy could get 0.3% of a cap and win through that.

I like most maps, but 2cp is just a bad mode.

If I ranked all the maps, all the 2cp maps would be at the bottom. Volskaya is the best one though. I don’t mind it too much.

DRAW DRAW DRAW DRAW DRAW DRAW DRAW DRAW but it goes on for infinity.

Getting rid of the all or nothing cap and getting rid of that coin flip overtime thing are the best things that happened to the game.

Honestly I'd rather a game end in a draw than the enemy team win in such a bullshit fashion

Also add Route 66 on Attack as another that is poo poo

Overwatch characters being ported to other games is great. I'm complete garbage at Genji in Overwatch but I'm regular garbage at Genji in Heroes of the Storm!

Also I enjoy Smash Bros (the game, not the community), so I'd 100% be down for Genji and other characters being in a Smash Bros game. Admittedly haven't played any since Brawl, but they're fun games.

I can't imagine it would be anyone but Tracer; SSB always uses the flagship character from a series, and that's her.

But I also figure that if there was an OW character in Smash, they'd take the opportunity to announce that character alongside the port.

Moira owns and her VA accurately represents what playing a healer feels like.

"That must weigh heavily on your soul. Let me purge it for you."
It will take a lot to topple Moira as my favourite, both as a character and for gameplay. Hugely satisfyingly to go "Fine, *I'll* do it" and penta-gold. And again, here voice work reflects this perfectly.

i havent played much but i like playing baptiste the best when i go healer. jumping up on a high ledge and raining healing grenades down on your dudes is pretty effective and the immortality field helps alot if you toss it into giant clusterfuck. his weapon is good too but its tough to find an opening where i can take a few potshots without jeopardizing the rest of my team.

You can actually fire his M1 without slowing down the M2 fire rate. So if you can position so that you can see your team and some enemies/shields, you can hold down both buttons and flick between friendlies and enemies. There's a rhythm to it, but it takes some practice.

Ana is challenging but super fun. Hitting a good anti-nade is so satisfying, as is keeping someone in a duel alive from across the map. Sleeps are fun too, especially if you can interrupt a big ult.

I really want to punch in the face every moron I've dealt with lately who uses Widowmaker or Ana on Attack(and to a lesser extent Hanzo), the fact that Blizzard doesn't consider "an unwillingness to switch Heroes" a form of Gameplay Sabotage is absolutely idiotic, especially since it often is basically one of the things they do consider Gameplay Sabotage(Feeding to be specific)

I agree and will raise you one: I think unwillingness to communicate in a team based game is a form of gameplay sabotage. To anticipate the counterpoint: I think getting lovely in chat is a form of gameplay sabotage too.

Hypothetically they can, but in practice it usually doesn't work that well(partly because they usually refuse to switch Heroes even after it's apparent that it's really not going to work)

I play a lot of Junkrat, and you'd think it'd be a character specially made to break shields but it's starting to feel futile. Rein's shield I feel like I can deal with but Orisa gets hers back SO fast and Sigma's shield seems similarly resilient, it's starting to feel like a losing battle. Orisa's is by far the worst though, she can plop a new one down in the time it takes to destroy her first one. You can't make any progress against it.

Yeah it seems like you just have to roll a Junk/Pharah and get behind the shields or maybe genii/tracer and just dash through but that feels futile and I’m bad at them

So I’ll just keep picking junkrat and try to flank the shields as best I can to little avail and then just go back to death match where I don’t have to deal with that

I have played close-range junk to deal with shield meta.
does a lot better than just plunking at shields hoping to drop 1 of the 2/3/4 shields in your way.
