I wonder if we'll get patch notes before or at launch; they probably did some tweaking.

Played last night a couple hours. Got PTOG as D.VA on my first twomatches (!), forgot to shadowplay them before quittine the game.  I also managed to bump two people off the side of Lijiang. Then I proceeded to suck rear end all night. It's kinda weird how my game went to poo poo since the beta; I never considered myself to be good at the game but holy hell I was being useless for most of my games. I guess I should just keep playing.  PS: I hate all of you who got legendary skins, I got sprites. ALL OF THE SPRITES.

Daric posted:Mei is hilarious. She has just enough health to be super annoying and I love putting up a wall to block an exit so everyone has to funnel out of the other right into my team. If you're playing Mei start timing your walls so you let one person slip through before blocking the path; it's always hilarious seeing someone try to backpedal only to hit The Wall and die horribly when your team opens on them. This goes double for any Reinhardt/Hog Mercy combo. Isolate the tank from the healer and go to town.

mcbexx posted:When a round "clicks", this is the most fun I have had in a game in a long, long time. I don't have a problem with losing if the other team is just plain better that yours. But when you lose because your whole team is out pimping their k/d ratio or standing just a bit outside the point without contesting it with the timer ticking down? I am become salt, hater of games. /edit: Daric posted:Yeah I've been trying to do that when I get the opportunity. I'm playing on PS4 so if you press R1 to prep the wall and press R1 again it'll change the direction. Not only that, you can use Mei's wall to climb stuff. Flip its direction and aim down while running, you can get on high-ish ledges (like the opening to the side of Hanamura's point A entry when defending) and icicle people in the back of their stupid heads. You won't get Genji-level mobility, but it'll get you places most people don't expect to see a Mei coming from. /edit2: vvvvv I like you Edmond Dantes fucked around with this message at 16:17 on May 24, 2016 |

I played with them a bit and it seems like my options are: I'm colourblind but a rather tame variety, so I don't use any of the options there. It would probably depend on your particular type of colourblindness though; have you ever had a proper test done to check which one you have?

He just isn't meshing with me at all He's not assault, don't try to use him on frontal attacks or you'll die horribly. Use the E teleport, get behind the enemy team and pick off stragglers. Also, get in their backs before you start firing; you have shotguns, not assault rifles. Then what ^^^^ said. Edmond Dantes fucked around with this message at 04:45 on May 27, 2016 |

Six-Of-Hearts posted:Mercy's nes zapper packs a surprising punch. I flip to it and drop enemy players fairly often. There are few things more satisfying than dropping a Reinhardt with Mercy's or D.VAs pistols. Doubly so if the finishing blow is a melee. But nothing will surpass nailing a Widow in the face with an icicle. You got outsniped, bitch!

lazorexplosion posted:In other news, Reapers continue to be 5% pretty ok and 95% the most useless heroes on the entire team. There's like no middle ground for reapers. Either they're utterly garbage or they're getting ult every 10 seconds and shutting down every single loving push your team attempts by jumping on the payload from a roof and doing his stupid little dance. I think I'm salty about Reapers.

Samara posted:You guys think D Va is bad? I feel like Winston can't do poo poo but jump in and die. The categories in this game can be a little misleading. The only tanks that can properly tank are Reinhardt and Zarya; Winston and D.VA are high mobility sniper/healer harassers much like Reaper or Tracer. They can take more damage, sure, but you can't just stand there and duke it out with half the enemy team or you'll get torn to shreds. Winston and D.VA both have high mobility abilities on a short cooldown for a reason, they're made to jump in (literally in Winston's case), murder a Widow and jump out when the other team reacts.

Drakes posted:Late to reaper chat, wouldn't mind if he did reduced damage with his ult to people above/below him. Dropping down with ult basically murders anyone with 200 by the time he touches ground. Yeah, for all the people complaining about how fast Mei's ult pops, at least you can get out of the way. If you're not playing a tank and Reaper drops from a ledge you're basically dead. My only issues with the game so far are the "almost-one-hit-kills". Roadhog's hook/shotty, McCree's Flash/Fan, and Widow (to a lesser degree since she needs headshots) make it really unfun to pay against them. I don't mind a character being squishy, but considering the baseline health is 200 having characters who have can dish out that damage without you being able to do jack poo poo about it raises my salt levels. I've been hearing people comment about finding it odd that people are still dying to D.VAs and Hanzo's ults since it's kinda trivial to get out of their way and they're right, for all their damage they're super telegraphed (or Pharah and McCree who can usually get murdered when trying to pop one) so Reaper's ult kinda stands out in that regard as kinda cheap.

Broken Cog posted:That's it, I'm literally never playing Lucio again. He might be one of the strongest heroes in the game at the moment, but every game with him is just mind-numbingly boring. It's funny how he's kinda advertised as an offensive support, but his guns do diddly-squat for damage, so your entire purpose during a match is just to stay alive and be an aura bot for your team. I've been playing Mercy when I go support exactly for this reason. Except on Lijiang tower, that's all Lucio all the time because I like to doot people off ledges.

Question regarding ping/netcode for you more technically-savvy goons out there. What would you say is the point where ping starts noticeably influencing your aiming? I play from South America and the local servers have 40 ping but the people here are terrible human beings so I end up playing with goons and I usually get 180~200 ping. I don't get any weird rubberbanding and while I do get the odd "but I was around the corner, come ON!" moment I've never watched a replay and noticed myself on a different position than where I thought I was. I don't play the most "aim-dependent" characters such as McCree or Widow, but can 200 ping be having a noticeable effect on my aiming and I should stick to junkrat and Winston, or do I just suck at aiming and should git gud? Thyrork posted:This is the terrible secret to enjoying Lucio. Oh trust me, I know. Hence the Lijiang comment. One thing, though; I noticed that when you start wallrunning like a motherfucker people have a terrible time bringing you down. The other night I was defending Anubis B and I was the last man standing against 3 dudes from the other team and I just starting grinding all over the place. They eventually got me (mostly by splash damage), but I won a lot of time for my team to get back. Edmond Dantes fucked around with this message at 14:47 on Jun 1, 2016 |

I've been salty about Reaper's ult before, but it wasn't until last night when I was playing Zarya and he went through my shield and my 400 health that I checked the actual damage and holy gently caress his ult does 600 damage. Seriously, poo poo's just silly.

Kashuno posted:pop your barrier and boom high energy THANK YOU I did. Barrier is 200 health, and Zarya's health is 400 (200 shields and 200 normal). He does 600 damage over 3 seconds. Even with the energy boost from absorbing those first few hits I couldn't take him down before he killed me; I may be able to pull it off it I see the fucker coming, but when he drops on the payload from above in Hollywood there's jack poo poo you can do about it.

I really really hope they buff Zenyatta's health just a wee bit (or replace his normal health with armour, which would make sense considering he's a bloody robot), because he's just so much loving fun to play with but I every time I see a widow I have to switch out before transcending into salt.
