Ana, hog, hanzo for life. No one wants to come close enough to get hooked, you've got the sleep dart, good healing and at some point the Hanzo's gonna hit a bullshit scatter arrow or knock someones teeth out.

Would Zenyatta be good on 3s? His ability to heal with simultaneously throwing out lots of damage seems like it would be especially good with smaller teams as you have only have two possible healing targets.

I feel like Zen's a little too vulnerable to being picked by Tracers and the like.

I'm loving the Sombra hate in Comp on PS4. Had a little conversation with a deep south good ol' boy today:

Him "Great! Another person using a character no one knows how to play in comp!"
Me "Yeah I would feel the same except that person has four silvers."
Him "Anyone can get kills off the point!"
Me "One of them is Objective Kills."
Him "So you kill one and run off the point! You're not helping anyone!"
Me "Another is Objective Time."
Him "You're still making us lose!"

Like, I can sympathize with being upset at a Widow/Hanjo/Symmetra/Torbjorn offense team, but being angry about a DPS in KoTH? I don't get that at all.

I feel like that is a case of whoever gets the drop on the other normally wins that one, but that's the same with a lot of characters. And again, if you are playing with an enemy Mei and you're far enough away from your team that you get caught out alone then you kind of deserve it.

You can take the Sombra out of Juarez but you can never take the Juarez out of Sombra.

Also played a 3s match where the enemy team went D.Va, Bastion, Ana. D.Va sat in front of Bastion holding right click while Ana hid in the corner shooting them with healing darts and Bastion shot at everything that moved. We were not equipped to handle it.

+3 damage is pretty massive for him because it hits a breakpoint in dealing with all characters and he can legitimately end the vast majority of the cast in roughly a second now. I still think he's overshadowed by McCree but you definitely aren't hamstringing your team by bringing Soldier now and there are legitimate scenarios where it's better to bring him over McCree, like having a Mei or Roadhog to handle CC, and he's better at applying pressure on a point.

1v1 is fun unless it's Sym, Bastion, or Winston. Winston is a complete crapshoot on who wins, I've gone in with friends and we both fire at the same time, sometimes he wins, sometimes I do. Other than that I think it's a blast and really helps hone how to play a character. 3v3 is probably my new favorite mode, but maybe because I mostly play Roadhog anyway.

Winston is actually really good cause it forces you to dance around your barrier and gauge whether its better to punch or left click, both of which are super important in actual games

Winston's gun goes through barriers, doesn't it? So it's meaningless in 1v1, and punching does less DPS than sustaining fire. To me the 1v1 is all about use of the jump, both to initiate with extra damage and escape when you need to reload.

Basically any team that can muster up a lucio and a winston will stomp pretty effortlessly right now. It's a great sense of schadenfreude to shut down people just trying to learn Sombra.

I just like all the people in qp that leave when someone else slam picks sombra before they can. do they not realize that the arcade mode has no hero limits? if you're willing to not play the game at all to get to sombra, you should be willing to play against 6 of them

I agree with this. It doesn't work when I'm having an off day, but when our back line is complaining about a Tracer I often swap with one of them as Zen and that's the end of that problem.

All this means is that they're bad Tracers even by comparison to your own skill. Zenyatta is the second-easiest if not the easiest support to kill. Ana is a million times more likely to kill you back and Lucio's harder to actually finish off.

I know I preferred to use arrows over letter keys for a while, but it starts to break when you have games that have a lot of controls, at least personally.

Very likely. I could see them doing something like each health kit grab cuts the timer down faster.

I'd say limiting the med pack hack to two at a time also seems reasonable.
