Which, alongside Zarya, might make her one of the only Overwatch characters that doesn't shatter the game with their mobility. :p

I am... actually not all that excited about Ana. But that's mainly because I don't think the transition from shooting at people from first person to clicking on them in third person will feel all that great. Then again I had my doubts about Lucio initially too, so I would be glad to be proven wrong again.

I imagine she will work like Nova's snipe to heal allies? Really don't know how they will handle same shot being healing or damage depending on who it lands. They could make a snipe that does both, but in OW Ana has much more leeway with her shots for healing than for damage. Maybe the same shot will have two different widths (a narrow damage width and a wider healing width), that's how I would do it if I was a game designer.

My suspicion, though it's only that of course, is that they won't translate it directly into AAs hurting enemies and helping allies. But we'll see in a couple months, perhaps.

Sniper grandma loving owns, deal with it. e: There's a shot in that design video showing a big pajamathur statue. Behind it is a display showing what looks like a promo image that includes Ana alongside Nova and Diablo? And a few other characters, but it is difficult to make out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3vTE55kRcg&t=370s GenericOverusedName fucked around with this message at 13:37 on Aug 30, 2017 |

I grouped with some random people on the /reddit channel for half of my TL placements (discord was empty last night) and got carried for four great games and got ROLLED in the fifth. The score was 1-35, down 5 levels at the end. Idk what happened there, their garrosh just wrecked us over and over. We were Sonya, Valla, Uther, Sylvanas, and Taunt Varian against Garrosh, Nazeebo, Kaelthas, Brightwing, and Ragnaros (on Dragon Shire). Did we lose it in the draft somehow or was it just a bad game? I absolutely sucked that game, and apparently Valla has a rough time on DS. Really fun time overall though including a great BoE game where we took triple support by accident yet somehow the Artanis carried us by doing 100k hero damage in a 20 minute game (having taken amateur opponent too). People seem way better about pushing core in TL.

Actual things they need to do so that this becomes a better game: Make all heroes free, or at least most/many/bring back the mega bundles. Fix or remove the lovely maps that do not get played at their own competitive events. Fix the reconnect system. Introduce an official API/statistics web interface. Make MMR visible.

20 heroes free made it so easy to f2p... At least 12-15 heroes should be free though imo, I'd have six bundles on offer so that not everyone gets the same heroes. Maybe it takes 20 tho idk, I certainly didn't play until nexus 2.0. Certainly a rare, epic, and legendary for each role would be cool.

Well part of the problem is when they added Mega Bundles they removed the starter packs that contained like 5 or 10 heroes, then never put the starter packs back. Combine that with the fact that you get less gold now and hero gold costs don't go down anymore must make it frustrating to be a F2P player. But yeah, they should still have the Mega Bundles - just make them $10 or $20 or whatever, with "free" promos occasionally.

Libertine posted:I didn't say she was worrisome to lane against but no one is worrisome for her to lane against. Nazeebo, Zagara, and a handful of others can poop on Sylvanas without trying because she's not supposed to be a solo laner. Her damage is too low and/or too inconsistent for the task. She's intended to be a lane partner to make it easier to pressure your lane opponents because they can't rely on the minion wave or the towers to back them up. Her Shadow Dagger is probably the best example of this - it deals more damage the more targets there are to spread to, so if you're soloing with her, you're straight up losing out on damage potential at all times. Also, Mind Control is useless if you don't have teammates nearby.

I always take Wailing Arrow on Sylvanas, big burst damage and disabling multiple people is usually way better than immobilizing myself to move some guy out of position for two seconds. It's actually not uncommon for me to have highest or second highest damage on Sylvanas because she actually does do a decent amount of damage with Withering Fire resets and Wailing Arrow. Also nobody mentioned Nazeebo too much but he is a fantastic solo laner. Voodoo ritual sustain is absurd if you talent for it, or you can play for the lategame and take the double stacking talent. Either way, if you get at least two waves to the enemy wall it's going down very very quickly. Also his damage with spiders is insane.

Mind Control can be better if the enemy team lacks mobility and your mates deal a lot of damage, especially if they depend on combos and skillshots to kill something. It does require proper positioning, timing and general awareness, it's harder to pull off than a decent arrow, but MC will get you a kill if used the right way. Sometimes walking one particular threat like a Chromie into your Alarak's Murder Zone/your Punisher's stomp/your keep can be a lot stronger than silencing her team. The arrow is usually a safer choice, but it's not the best one 100% of the time. Also, MC is a lot more fun than WA, especially with the level 20 upgrade. You could also go for blink + MC at 20 which is a fantastic way of punishing squishies out of position. The level 13 unstoppable talent can also be used right before MC so you don't get interrupted but you're probably better off going WA in those situations.

The only solo laner that Nazeebo has trouble against these days is Zagara and that's because the only way for Nazeebo to reveal Creep Tumors is through his jars. If Toads hit Creep Tumors, Nazeebo would be the strongest solo-laner in the game by an absurd margin.

No Wave posted:In general you want to pop that web quickly. I know this was pages ago but trying to land skill shots on tracer is an exercise in frustration not just because she blinks but because her hitbox is miniscule. If not for Zarya I would argue every single Overwatch hero they added was a bad decision or at the very least poorly implemented and thought out.

D Va is great. Such a weird hero, so much fun, only really obnoxious on brexit holdout where she can clear 2/3rds of a wave immediately.

I played a ton of DVA when she was released and had a great time bullying the hell of people, but i haven't played her since her last round of nerfs. I think the turning point for me was when an abba accidently cloned me and it made me laugh, because dva without her mech explosion feels like nothing. I haven't tried out her lvl 16 talent that makes her dash, the other day i fought a dva who took that and lit me up with that and triple laser, really surprised me.

I don't know if she's super viable but she's quite good on Blackheart's Bay because of how that map works. Otherwise though she's just hilarious to play, whether it's crashing into someone nearly dead to kill them, big shotting someone in fog, slowly rotating around to try to get the optimal bullet spread on minions, or pointlessly tickling towers when you're left alone in lane in QM. And of course self-destruct, what she's best for.
