Mob Boss Junker Queen, Metropolis Echo, and Mythic Sigma are cool but I don't play Sigma very often. Do shop skins go away forever after the end of their debut season? Or do they come back from time to time?

If they do the obvious with Lifeweaver and remove weapon switching then he'll be great. I'm still liking him now but weapon swap + heal charge is just too much of a delay to give you much time to do any damage. I was iffy on a lifegrip being added to the game but I think it's good addition. A good play happening whether you're the gripper or grippee feels awesome. Even questionable lifegrips just make me shrug and say whatever because an inopportune lifegrip is so far down on the list of things that tilt me in this game.

If they got rid of the charge on his heal and just made it "click = heal" I'd be happier. It feels very sluggish in a game where there's so much poo poo going on. I also changed his lifegrip ability to my right click and put his flower-lift on "E" which feels better to me, though I do wish the cooldown on grip was lower. I never used his Low Budget Fade.

Or something.

I kinda feel like the damage beam in general is terrible design. Ideally you are always keeping "breaks" in mind; if there isn't a break, the beam is inconsistent, even janky. A better design choice would be giving it more break potential but actually have it as a tactical cooldown that requires good timing or coordination. There are a few things they could do to make Mercy more fun and interesting. Integrating better pistol use though is probably at the top of that list.

I suspect people are underestimating Wifeleaver's healing output, because I had several games today where I had the highest total healing on either team. It feels like it's mostly about finding the rhythm where you keep charging and releasing just as it reaches its maximum, not unlike Symmetra's alt fire. During the second (roughly?) that it takes to charge is when you need to make that split-second decision about who to target, which can involve some juggling that's a little hectic but engaging. Sometimes it's better to release early if someone is about to take a fatal hit or break line of sight, and as far as LOS goes, you luckily have some leeway with how the blossom will pivot around a corner after release. To mitigate the slowed movement speed while charging, you want to use his dash as often as possible. The dash has a very short cooldown and it also refills some of your own health, so using it constantly is the key to both keeping pace with your teammates and keeping your own health topped off. His damage output is low, rightfully, but it also has a good range and accuracy that makes it useful for suppressing fire, like Lucio. Generally I've only been switching to damage when I don't have any wounded teammates right in front of me, and the passive reload seems designed to encourage frequent switching. I've been hesitant to use Life Grip too often because it has a very long cooldown and seems like it has the potential to really annoy teammates if used at the wrong time, but luckily Healing Blossom has such a long range that using Life Grip is rarely necessary to save someone. Mostly I save it to bail out those bad tanks with no survival instincts who dive into groups of enemies and are prone to getting themselves killed really quickly. His Ultimate seems best suited to letting you take a break from healing and going full damage for a few seconds, which is similar to how I use Kiriko's. Haven't found too many uses for the platforms just yet, aside from quick vertical traversal and occasionally desperate attempts at escaping enemies who are right up in your face.

Pure numbers alone don't mean they're good (or bad), you could have been focusing on healing more than the other support or just better than the other support. Ana has more shots, heals for more, and has faster recovery (vs LW charge time) with the same reload time and when you're not firing you can weave in sleep/melee/nade, where you gotta charge between shots as LW, slowing your movement down, in addition to being able to do damage without weapon swap time. Granted LW effectively has two movement abilities and a temp invuln/rescue, so there's tradeoffs.

Developer tweeted that they're looking into removing weapon switching and changing the dash input for Wifeleaver. So they're probably finally figured out what I said earlier they should do.

Assepoester posted:Rama at the top of the list? Definitely, he is busted as hell The block is TOO MUCH mitigation; i'm not sure what blizz devs were smoking when they decided that OW tanks should have WoWesque shield wall abilities. Ult is still kinda nuts, but not as OP as it was when it came out. The other area where he needs a nerf is his melee range when he is punching should be like, reduced by 50%. poo poo's nuts. I'm glad there is a tank in this SHOOTER genre video game that just does AoE damage with an ult, and AoE damage by holding down a melee button to people many meters away. Zarya should be higher on this list, like in B. She is no where near Hog bad. Hog is the only terrible tank right now, but Zarya could prob use a slight boost. She probably shouldn't have been nerfed in S1, since it was mostly other things causing the issues. Queen could use a slight buff as well, I think. I'd like to see Zarya's projected barriers have a 4-6 second less CD/charge than her personal. Maybe that would help. BabyRyoga fucked around with this message at 05:59 on Apr 13, 2023 |

Zarya can be great, but it just depends on the map and team. I usually only pick her if the other tank is DVA, but if the other team is dumb then she's a great pick. I love picking her when the other team has torb or anyone with a lingering aoe because it's easy to charge up. She could probably use a slight reduction in bubble cooldown, but I think she has her place. Personally I'm sick of terrible ball tanks. You occasionally get a good one but man it sucks when they don't make space for your team and never swap. I'm in gold/plat and I roll my eyes whenever I see ball or doomfist. I know they can be great in higher level play, but pretty much every other tank is better in lower levels. Unrelated, but I finally had a great game as Hanzo. It was one of the most satisfying games I've played, one shooting people left and right owns.

i love hanzo because hes less aim intensive than hitscan but people cant dodge like they can with slow projectiles. i usually play similarly to aiming with kiriko where you just look at their support behind cover line em up and just predict when youd stick your head out as a support and nail em

This means that there are a ton of people hardstuck in gold that know a ton about the characters and meta, or think they do, but can't progress because of a major physical flaw in their game. It is also the people that create a new account because they think the SR system is out to get them. headcase fucked around with this message at 14:47 on Apr 13, 2023 |
