most of the orange drops in borderlands dropped much more frequently off of specific named mobs, making the 1/20k thing a little misleading I still think that the basic leveling experience in bl2 was seriously very good, and playing krieg removed a lot of the problems the game had up to that point. The endgame is pointless and stupid but that's ok, playing a new character is more fun. Farming a boss for loot? Who cares, start a new character. I think I capped 3 kriegs out to max level. ofc playing krieg mostly removes the game's gunplay so that defeats a lot of the point of the game

Dealing damage to reinhardt/zarya/winston shields (like, the zarya bubble, her "shield hp" works like normal health) does not generate ult. Getting damage absorbed by d.va matrix doesn't, either. Doing damage to roadhog does.

d.va does need to be tweaked slightly upward. She isn't worthless — you can win matches utilizing her — but you can also win matches without using ults or some skills. She doesn't need some earthshattering, ridiculous buff to be good, but she needs a little bit. At the least they could make her attack only strike inside of her effective range because new players try to use her at medium to long distance all the time. At any kind of range she does less damage than a fraction of lucio's baseline healing while feeding enemies tons of ult.

MinibarMatchman posted:maybe at least nerf damage fallout because holy poo poo the range on turrets and the instadeath from that range is frustrating. I should be able to safely rocket them with Pharah and not get gibbed from a mile off. a pharah shooting a turret is impossible to hold as torb outside of his ult, and his ult doesn't stop pharah's if she gets an ounce of support mercy heals 90% of t2 turret damage, and a yellow beaming mercy can keep you going against a t2 turret for more than 30s if you don't use cover to heal back to full. If you don't have support, it takes more than three and a half seconds for a turret to kill you. Using cover, you should always be able to rocket down a turret if folks aren't pushing your poo poo in. If he's repairing, your indirect fire will kill torb before you have to reload unless he has enough scrap to feed himself armor. tho torb can twoshot you across the map with his leftclick even if you're getting healed by mercy

the thing I hate most is not playing as roadhog or mccree. The issue is, if you hear a reaper, track his movements, and he jumps in while using deathblossom, most characters at best can get away from him. Sure Mei and Reinhardt and a few others can somewhat mitigate it, but it's hard for them to guarantee angles when poo poo is going down. McCree and Roadhog can kill him before he seriously damages anyone on your team, and I feel like if I don't play one when there's an opposing reaper then I'm letting my team down. Fortunately they're both fun as poo poo but that might be a balancing issue with what else they bring. also my new favorite pasttime after flashing over reinhardt's shield is flashing pharahs out of the sky.

a bluebeamed lucio is worse than mercy's baseline gun. You're comparing 64dps with slow, grouped projectiles to 100dps fire that's easy to track over long distances and it reloads on its own if you heal for a second or two with your staff it can't get multikills with lucio knockoffs but it can often be better than bluebeaming decent classes that are even playing well.

I hope they buff zen without giving him health. The orbs were both way too strong before the line of sight change but the knee-jerk albeit necessary change made playing him way too dangerous and buff-spammy.

I really like him being an evil glass cannon support. A reduction to widow's effectiveness might be all he needs on the survivability end. I just hate how often you have to refresh things now. I don't use his alt fire at all, but I'd probably try to use it more like symmetra's right click to deny an area. Left click fires as fast as right click charges up and deals more damage — 45 vs 35 per orb. If I played him more I'd probably try to work it in a bit for the oneshots.

Slime posted:With how armour works, that doubles his current survivability against Reaper and Tracer. It's a pretty extreme difference for those characters, while a Widow would still effectively delete him .5 seconds later than she currently does. naw it still takes one to two shots for reaper and gives him at best 33% more survival against tracers if she doesn't headshot don't forget that tracer and reaper headshots put their per-pellet damage over 10, so that damage doesn't get fully halved and that reaper does 140 damage on a full bodyshot

one thing that's cool is that you can hit p, rightclick awful people and downvote them specifically. You won't get randomly matched with them again  you can upvote folks too and you'll get matched with them more often. It's neat seeing the same folks you've played with even if you don't friend everyone.

When they implemented that system in the beta some dude tried rating every match as negative and it got to the point that he couldn't play with anyone anymore

yeah if Reinhardt blocks something, it doesn't charge Zarya up. It's possible that Zarya's shield hitbox on Reinhardt extends beyond his shield in a very small area near his center, but if that's the case (read: it probably isn't), then Reinhardt technically isn't blocking the bits that strike it.

Nehru the Damaja posted:Right now I only play Reaper if it's a koth map or I'm responding to a tank-heavy composition, and even on Koth I'm usually responding to tanks. I'm trying to find situations that recommend him on his own merit. Talking with a friend we were theorycrafting about whether he's an adequate tank/support escort on attacking payload maps since he hits like a truck against flankers, can keep tanks from bullying through Reinhardt's shield, and can sort of break off to freelance with Shadowstep if you run into a distant problem like a sniper. reaper seems like he'd be strong against lower tier players here, unless you're one shotting them or something. The flanker's mobility options put them too far out of reaper's effective range. Playing mccree in the same spot lets you fb folks that get way too close and he can still left click folks that have blinked or dashed out. Now if one or two monkeys are being a problem on top of your reinhardt or something, it's a different story. Reaper backbone support under that scenario seems more helpful. Basically, he's weaker against the lighter flankers and great against the heavier ones.

old mercy buffs were additive if you had more than one mercy (2 mercies are 160% damage), but different damage buffs on live are multiplicative (mercy and zen are 195%)

Internet Kraken posted:I really don't get why they buffed Mercy's damage boost. It was already good. you don't nerf an op ability and then buff one that was perfectly fine. they could cut mercy's pistol damage I guess. As of now you need to blue buff someone doing 333 damage per second to match it. On the PTR, they only need to do 200 to match it.

Internet Kraken posted:That's not how your DPS output works in a real match. A Mercy using her pistol will do more DPS than blue beaming if she lands every shot, but that's not gonna happen. More importantly, even if she has god tier aim that means she is exposing herself to counter fire. With the damage boost beam she can position herself to be out of sight while still providing support. it actually is supposed to be her damage according to the devs also that's the damage per second without headshots; it's often much higher than that.

it really doesn't feel like the ana heal debuff hurts roadhog much in practice. It hurts someone getting mercy healed or luciamped on the front a lot more, and the healing from it is better than making roadhog sit out of LoS for more of his hook cooldown. Now zen's pretty bad, and getting slept on hooking someone is Actually Very Awful, but at least ana/mccree/zen are all hook one-shots.
