That ult already sounds miserable to play against. Putting down an AoE that persists as long as players are within it is one thing, but having an AoE aura that persists is like MMO raid boss game poo poo where you learn an encounter then reposition the boss in a scripted manner, not first person shooter poo poo.

Sometimes I wonder if anyone on the dev team has even played other shooters before

Sleep dart the ulting Ramattra. I assume/hope Sombra's hack/EMP also interrupts it as well.

I know that it doesn't matter and there's like half a dozen active villains playable but isn't ramattra like the head of a guerilla/terrorist movement that's currently active and fighting Overwatch?

I know I know, we already have an assassin and a crime lord that are doing the same thing, but still.

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)

It's the latter, as half the tanks can't crit and beams also normally can't. It's just written poorly - he should have just said "it can headshot"

What does Sombra's hack interrupt even? Because I know for sure it doesn't stop things like Hog's or Genji's ults or Orisa's Fortify.

The real question is whether this turns the ultimate back on or not. From the sounds of it, it'll be considered a Transformation ultimate, so it'll just pop right back if he's woken up. Which sucks because it sounds ridiculously powerful.

Been on a competitive run lately, 11-1 in the last 12 with the sole loss being a classic case of game doesn't start well, DPS vents at the tank, tank decides to sit in a corner until disconnecting. Felt very good until I poked around my match history and apparently in competitive this season, with that winning run of games, I still have ten more losses than wins at gold 2. Whoops

Moira ult. Reaper ult. Mercy res. Some other poo poo. It's super inconsistent with what it interrupts, I agree, lol.

[edit] I think it can interrupt Rein shatter? Also interrupts Sombra EMP, which is funny.

It interrupts anything considered a channeled effect but not things considered transformations. This was one of the buffs roadhog got in OW2, his ult was changed from the former to the latter

That makes sense, but the game could be more clear about it.

Bastion is now also a transformation and not a channeled ability, so yeah, Rammatra can probably only be interrupted from his block.

It doesn't surprise me that Dva can eat that ult, but it does surprise me that one did, either from catching it in time or from Reaper positioning it that poorly.

He literally slowly wraithed up to her, waited a second after exiting it, and then ulted

like he made it as easy as humanly possible for her to do this. I'm in awe

after the match he friended me and started screaming about how he decided to lose on purpose because our team was like "hey man don't go in 1v5, we can help you"

I love when you're in a match and there's some dickhead who you call out for being a troll or maybe you completely dominate if they're on the enemy team so they've been insulting you the whole time and they add you after the match. Like yea I'm totally going to accept the request so you can hurl even more abuse at me.

For some stupid reason i bound it to melee when i was drunk' and now we play together regularly

Had a great QP game yesterday where our soldier was a piece of poo poo, our other DPS was super friendly to make up for it, our Mercy was a new player who barely knew what the heal beam did, and the opposing Ana was fun. The whole game had a really casual air about it that I've not seen since TF2.

Yeah, count me in

If someone flat-out goes "I am new" in QP it's time to chill, muck about, and all take the piss out of the tank who has become furious and gone "I CAN'T CARRY 1 VS 6". Nice maths, mate.

Still not as much ribbing as the guy who was so cross he mis-typed "diff" as "figg" got though
