Brawl is Sky Lesbians. I didn't find it super fun. Nobody wants to play medic but some people will out of a sense of obligation. You're left with objective fights that often have more healers and less damage dealers than usual with extra resurrections slowing everything down, all stacked on "people can't hit a goddamn thing with Pharah." Being someone who plays a lot of Pharah and healing idiots who can't do anything is obnoxious. So I swapped to Pharah myself and was quad golding despite spending half the match as Mercy.

BobTheJanitor posted:If I'm not too excited about getting screamed at by tryhards half my age in competitive mode, are there any other updates or changes to look forward to with this patch? I read up on it back when it was announced, but I don't recall that there was much if anything not related to comp mode. Anything changed since then? (behind a work filter, before someone asks why I don't just go read the patch notes) Not yet. I for one look forward to being screamed at for A) not playing (the class you could be playing), B) not being on the point (that you aren't on either), or C) not carrying the match (you lost in too).

So it's literally just Pharah and Mercy? That still sounds more fun than the last two weeks, of which I think I played one match each. Edit: Good to see Blizzard making the popular ships canon though

Pharah and Mercy with a shorter cooldown on jump jets and Guardian Angel. I really like playing either half of that combo but as a brawl it's just not that fun imo. I loved We're All Soldiers Now because it really rewarded positioning, pre-aiming etc.

Servers, EU, seem to be making GBS threads themselves right now. Been disconnected about half a dozen times in ten minutes and the two times I did get through, Athena proudly announced I was attacking before putting me on defense.

I loved We're All Soldiers Now because it really rewarded positioning, pre-aiming etc. I couldn't get into the soldier one because it felt a bit too much like a modern mil shooter, which I've just never been that into. But I'm aware that tons of people love them, and I don't begrudge them that, I just avoided it. And then the all defense one just felt far too advantageous for whichever team was defending (I mean, obviously) and didn't make for very fun games, even when you were winning. This one sounds interesting, but maybe it would be better without a healer. Just high speed movement abilities and lots of rockets, old school Quake style.

I did it. I got a Torb potg that was just me getting a triple kill with headshots from his left-click, no turret. I didn't even die at the end of it. And then I restarted the game to get the update before I recorded it. It'll never happen again.

Ok, I need goon groups for Competitive. First game in, we lose 2-1 and one player is cursing everyone out through chat. Tag is Bigred0427#1340 on PC. I'm pretty flexible on team position. Perfered Characters ate Pharah, Junkrat, Mercy, Symetra, Zyrah.

So some changes I noticed immediately: A new UI for hero select and such. Much easier to read imo. Reaper also seems to have team-specific teleport colours now. Looks like it's red for enemies, purple for allies. Much need imo. Tired of seeing the red thing and shooting it and it's our reaper.
