They just keep making characters that get significantly more powerful when speed boosted and then going "woops, how come Lucio is meta all the time? what a mystery." don't they?

to get to play him in a reasonable manner.

Speed effects were probably a mistake at this point. They add variety and utility, but having too many of them makes the game much more difficult to play. The Kiriko Ult feels like it makes it harder to play on both sides. Tracking and AIMing is rougher than ever.

https://news.blizzard.com/en-us/overwatch/23875436/building-a-revolutionary-an-inside-look-at-ramattra-with-the-hero-design-team Ramattra sounds pretty OP. Nemesis fists pierce shields and suck effects. The antiflyer ability is also antijump and slow. And Ultimate form does AoE Damage and half the enemy damage AND doesn't end as long as there is enemies in the area.

Yesterday I decided to play some comp and 3 games ended within 2 minutes because people left or were kicked for inactivity, and another had a tank ragequit after they kept walking straight into the enemy team and feeding over and over again. So I think I had a total of 7 or 8 games and 4 of them had leavers.

you know if like ... Zen or Cassidy didn't exist and they released them as new heroes I wonder how many extra abilities they'd give to them. Because neither of them has a particularly loaded kit, right?

They seem to constantly show that "Whoa, Ramattra will be the first tank to be able to counter flying heroes!" but I really don't see how it would be practical. His ability needs to be aimed at the ground, while a Pharah would be up in the air and constantly dodging. You're not hitting her with that ability unless she's stupid, it's not a large enough AoE.

Yeah I don't know what y'all mean. I can't think of any characters that are redundant or play in a similar way, except that some abilities had to be converted to boring damage since they took out CC.

Yeah but soldier is better taking a slow slog to high ground and using his healing and playing generally like COD. Soj just farms railgun charge, then plays like a sniper and controls space with her grenade while flying around like a madwoman. It feels really different.

Which female dps hero with a rapid-fire LMB, perfect accuracy one-shot kill RMB, a DoT AoE E ability, great mobility Shift that allows her to get to high-ground easily, and a Q that facilitates her making many insta-kill headshots under a limited time-frame, is your favorite?

IMO she's just a better version of soldier with the notable exception of the heal/dot swap. Edit: vvvvv yeah she's got that ashe-like mobility and aoe dot but she can actually 1-shot KO Cpt_Obvious fucked around with this message at 21:16 on Nov 27, 2022 |

I can't believe how hard they're pushing the "Ramattra is so innovative" narrative when he's literally just the same concept as Bastion but a Tank.

Probably doesn't do enough damage to kill most dps/support heroes by itself like Sojourn's does though, but it would be very funny if it did Sojourn's way too loving good lol

headshots normally do 2x right? it looks like that's what this does - he shoots the cassidy and zen for the same duration and the cassidy goes to just above half health. i assume the "increased damage on a headshot" line is simply pointing out that it can headshot, which is not universally true for projectile/beams (I'm honestly not sure which of these that is lol)

Very cool, Nemesis form punches reach about a hundred miles out, go through barriers, and your ult lasts indefinitely so long as an enemy is in range  I guess the counterplay is just to kill his team before he kills you, since the only thing he has to protect his teammates normally is a wall shield on a long cooldown and body blocking, but that ult is really, really dumb
