I think you should be able to boop mercy in the middle of her GA flight, but then after the forced movement is over she gets a new, corrected flight path from her new position and she gets to finish the rest of her flight.

If she was out in the open it wouldn't make a big difference but in tighter spaces you might get able to get her stuck on walls or door frames. I don't know if she actually needs to eat a nerf or not, but it'd be funny.

Also: same with widowmaker grapple.

https://www.reddit.com/r/OverwatchUniversity/comments/65m4se/signups_for_the_second_scrub_cup_are_open_now/

There's a tournament going on called the Scrub Cup. If you're SR <2500 (in other words, gold or lower) then you're free to join (they're flexible about you being a little over). It's solo registration only (no teams or buddies joining with you) and it's a good way to get yourself accustomed to playing on a coordinated team. The times are flexible and you'll even work with coaches to help you improve. You don't have anything to lose by singing up.

This looks fantastic, and I wish I could sign up, but I'm going to be traveling for work from the 14th to the 19th. :( e - and PC players only; womp womp.

I played a game earlier where an enemy Mercy used her ult but I killed her while she was still reviving people. I thought that wasn't supposed to happen anymore?

Really hard to tell. The last events extended way past midnight if I remember correctly.
I think I was able to still get loot boxes from the Halloween event at 4:00 pm the day after it should have ended. Year of the rooster was also quite lenient, but not as much as Halloween.

Putting up a definitive ending time for the major time zones somewhere - the shop page for instance - is probably too much to ask.

You need to record a video when weird stuff like this happens for anyone to have a hope of explaining it to you. There is a split-second window where she may start her ult sound cue but not have it initiate the invulnerability is all I can think of. This would be the same as hitting Q on soldier/genji/reaper/whatever and immediately dying, then still having your ult when you become alive again. It does happen. Genji probably has the longest window for it but other characters do have it.

Yeah I mean I had a game yesterday where I hit Q, the sound cue played and her hand started raising, but before the animation completed I died and the rez didn't go off

I've never seen Mercy die after she actually hits the invul frames though, don't think that's possible

e:vvvvv

Yeah I mean I guess even if you're invulnerable a pit will still kill you

That's the only thing I can think of but the enemy team all got back up and she was dead. I didn't really mind it, I knew I got there too late to stop her and we won the match anyway, it just confused me for a second. I guess it was just lag or something.

On Ilios I Embraced Tranquility so hard I forgot that I am not actually flying when I play as Zen and fell into the well and spent the rest of the match laughing my rear end off.

I once used my dva jets to boost over the wall on the path leading to the well, booped someone into the well on accident because I didn't even know they were there, and then started laughing so hard I forgot to turn and just followed them straight down to death

dying while ulting as Zen because you fell or got charged or knocked into a pit never ceases to be the funniest thing in the game to me. recently a rein just charged me in ult straight off the balcony on hanamura and I laughed for the rest of the game

Man I had the worst luck with this event. Only got a single unique gold costume for Orisa and a bunch of sprays and voice clips. Any other time I got a gold, it was either generic 500 gold or non-event skins for Hanzo and Roadhog. I'm just glad the ones I wasn't able to get were for characters I almost never played (Genji, Hanzo, Widowmaker) or ones I don't play much like Tracer or Tjoborn.

I really wished the non-event skins wouldn't drop during this, as it the worst feeling when you see them appear. That or at least bother to add some new event skins, since the last time there was a new 1000 gold skin, it was for Reinhart back in September?

That true on my part, I didn't play as much as this event compared to the other three. Mostly due to Persona 5 coming out at the time, but also due to the before mentioned gold costumes for characters I rarely played. I do hope they add new non-event stuff for Overwatch's one year anniversary next month.

Does anyone know why this didn't work? https://giant.gfycat.com/TenseCoolGosling.webm

Got some freeze frames here. I figure it might be lag, but maybe the hammer clipped through the shield, or Symmetra's shield just doesn't work on it. It'd be nice to know.

i haven't had an opportunity to really test it but I'm 99% certain syms barrier just doesn't block earthshatter no matter what because of how it floats, even if it's clipping the ground

Earthshatter happened first. I would aim a little at the ground so the shield starts blocking soon and you get mor coverage. It only breaks when the center hits something.

when the earthshatter starts doesn't matter; so long as you pop a shield in front of you before the hammer hits the ground, you're safe

unless it's a symmetra shield apparently

Aug 13, 2007

I've blocked it with sym's shield. That looked low enough to the ground, too. Looked like it was just too late in the video. Probably close enough to lag through it.

Or maybe, could have been that it was past the spawn point on the tip of his hammer, looking at the frames?

I was lucky to get nearly the exact stuff I wanted as drops, but getting Young Hanzo as a legendary hurts at any time.

Really Hanzo drops in general, like my first event drop was Hanzo's new emote, which is a neat emote except for the fact it's on Hanzo.

woah, it can? holy poo poo
that seems really hard to pull off just by virtue of the fact that if i see a rein moving forward to shatter my instinct is to not be anywhere near him but i'll try to throw a shield down when i see it happening now, dang
