Zenyatta is the anticancer and deserves buffs.

Mei just doesn't see any play at all. There's a few reasons for this - her damage is low and requires close range to be effective, as her alternate fire is one of the hardest projectile attacks to land in the game, and also one of the least rewarding, dealing pretty sad damage for an attack with such a slow rate of fire. Her "escape" doesn't actually help her escape, but only temporarily survive, and makes her easy setup for tons of things that either immediately negate the healing she took (ie: a single Pharah rocket) or kill her outright (ie: Tracer ultimate). Her wall is useful, but just can't compare with the practicality of a Winston barrier or a Reinhardt shield. Her ultimate can freeze people... but only if they don't escape it before the end, and then she still needs help to kill them, whereas Reaper or Pharah for example can just kill the people outright with their ultimates. All in all, Mei just sucks, and the fact that no one even attempts to play her in tournament matches, when every single other hero has been tried, supports my assertion quite well. Sorry waifu fans, but Mei needs help from her icy friend, Blizzard Entertainment, if she's going to make an impact on the metagame.

Fan the trigger and flashbang are both bullshit and what allow him to solo anybody in the game.

This is why Reinhardt is pretty much the only tip tier tank as his shield blocks all the OP shit the other top tier heroes throw out.

nice shit game faggot

what's an easy to use video recorder for someone not good with computer

Have you guys ever just watched some of the people that play this shit sometimes? It's amazing.

>guy on my team is low on health
>he actually goes to the cart and gets healed from that
>walks away when he gets back to full
>no one else is pushing the cart

On one hand, good job realizing the cart heals you. On the other hand, PUSH THE FUCKING CART YOU DEGENERATE.

>run into a tracer as dva
>both open fire
>she rewinds after a second
>i have 50 hp
what the fuck

armor is more effective against a lot of single damage instances like tracer pistols or S76 rifle, but worse against shit like rockets, widowmaker, grenades, etc.

>tracer vs badtracer

Raw HP is the base, everyone has it and it doesn't regen.

Armour go ontop of that. Every hit they absorb reduces damage by about 5 points. So they're amazing against Tracer and 76, but useless against Pharah and Widowmaker.

Shields are your first line of defence and go on top of armour. They will regenerate if not completely destroyed and act like health otherwise.

D.Va's headshot hitbox is literally half her entire front. It's incredibley easy to get headshots on her.

Don't forget ctrl+shift+r gives you fps and ping in the top left

you can also set it in the options

Why is Genji so god damn fun? Have they released any other heroes that have a similar up-close/melee/mobile-as-fuck playstyle?I can't seem to enjoy playing anything else unless its that style.

Kek, i was gonna call you out on being a blizzdrone before i finished reading it. Yeah, that was what i did on the weekend beta, but the shit part of it is that you lose the bonus XP and i'm a huge faggot jew, so i'd rather deal with it, at least until i get what i consider the essential skins.

There is also the downside that you're back on the matchmaking coinflip if you got matched with a good team on the previous game.

I want to get better with him but I always get sucked into playing tank/healer. Everyone always picks the shittiest team comps and I can't make myself not pick something we need in order to even out the team.
Guess I'll just stay a shitter forever

Nice, thank you.

>"mobile-as-fuck"
>has a single dash on a 10 second cooldown

D-Va is more mobile than that piece of shit hero. Genji is only good during his ult.

Just lost a game in Ilios against 4 Tracers. That shit is just lame, what is supposed to counter that? Tried Winston but obviously not, later on tried Pharah for the vertical advantage, but obviously not.

Some shitter said McCree, but I highly doubt that. As a team what are we supposed to do?

D.Va might as well be melee with how quickly her damage falls off

You other waifufags wish you had it this good, not only is mei top tier as a character but she is already incredibly good in pubs. Since this game is a joke and will never be viewed as a serious esport by anyone worth listening to the only balance that matters is pub play. The constant whining and low pick rate in comp will mean she will eventually get unnecessary buffs that will make her even more broken against pubs. That or everyone else that can do well against her will keep getting nerfed until they stop being counters alltogether.

It already happened with zenyata who was very good against her, soon it will happen with mcnigger.

The truth about her is that in pubs she only does poorly ONLY against a good mcree that knows how to combo, otherwise nobody can even come close to touching her.

He is mobile as fuck, you obviously have no idea about using his double jump and wall climb to launch yourself across surfaces.

Don't give D.va players bad street rep with your temper tantrum.

I usually just insta-lock Genji before anyone else picks so it usually isn't my responsibility at that point, because I am a dick.
>rating mobility based on one skill
have you ever used your jump or your wall jump you scrub? he's mobile, you just suck. Maybe if you could get kills too you'd realize your dash goes off CD.
Yeah, I actually play her when I need to fill a defense hero since she feels great to play, but I am more of an offense hero player.

M1 is never going to kill a half-decent Tracer, you can only hope to hit a M2 headshot.

is there any porn with D.Va?

Repostan from last thread:

Since Mei doesn't actually need fixing and maybe just a rebalancing can we talk about something that actually DOES need fixing:
The fucking tick rate/lag compensation and a fucking region picker.

>roadhog hooks distinctly to the left of me
>get hooked
>behind wall on Lijiang Tower
>die to high noon
>sometimes get matched with Koreans despite living in the US
>got matched with an Aussie on US servers for no reason
Either the tick rate needs to be increased or the lag compensation needs to be fixed. Server picker or max ping should be mandatory

You know what, fuck this. I'll never pick support or tank ever again, it doesnt matter I'll just be a retard like everyone else.

>play mercy
>whole team mindlessly jumps at the first enemy they see
>they run around every single corner without thinking twice

Also they need to buff the dmg on D.VAs guns. Shooting someone point blank a mercy can outheal your dmg.

>soldier 76 runs around the corner

>200>176>200>180>200>170>200

What if damage numbers

nice bait, I'll give you that.

Also just to add on the whole matter, the PotG plus all the other filler stuff (picking hero, prep time, cards) consumes a lot of time when a game lasts on average 5 minutes and the filler 1 to 1:30 minutes. Literally extra 20% of the time you spent actually playing is filler.

Hopefully Reddit will cry about that soon enough after release or even after this beta.

My team had 3 McCrees at one point, but for that to work I'm guessing you need to have some proper dexterity and aiming. Some shitters playing McCree wont counter the 4 fucking tracers

Tried it but failed terribly, first time I played Mei tho.

I don't see how, maybe if you get a lucky transform, but as soon as you lose your position once, it'll be impossible to set up again.

>Genji is only good during his ult.

Are you an Omnic?

Tracer would be your best bet. Still super squishy, but performing hit and runs, super mobile and super annoying. Except you're at medium range not melee.

Kind of an odd question but did everyone get starting gold when open beta hit? I had like 250 gold when i came in, had only played in the two stress tests, so I can't tell if it was from there or I highly doubt I got 250g that I didn't notice from boxes.

...

how do i play d.va?
i try to be aggressive and fuck with people but i MELT almost INSTANTLY

nah

I don't remember starting with any gold, I've only got 200 and I've never bought anything with it.

>only good during his ult
>literally his worst feature

>the game is bad and shallow because i think mei is op
alright
have you tried keeping her at range? only the best meis can land those icicles at range

You repick into better Dva.

Yeah, I tried her and I can't play her. She just feels off, and I have no idea how to put it into words. Maybe because I played genji so i am used to being up in their face, but I cant get the optimal range on her right to get a kill and back out, instead of constantly hitting-and-running and eventually failing.
Like any other tank, you're best bet is too stay with the team and Dash+Shield and break up their front-lines and mess with their back-line as much as possible before your mecha dies and you (rarely) get away

Be aggressive but don't stick around too long. You're thick enough to duel someone but if 2 people tag along then use your barrier and retreat. Don't pick her as the team's only sole tank.

Play her as a disruptor. Fly into the steady stream of re-spawning enemies to distract them, or jump on the enemy Mercy/Hanzo/Widowmaker's dick and make their life fun for the entire game.

if you're a halfway decent genji you can assassinate all of their snipers/supports so your team has a much better chance of just bursting their tank down

About 9 hours to go, right?

No mobility, no range, no damage.
She's easily dealt with even in pubs, the semi-open beta decreased the average skill level by a fucking lot so it's easy to think that a mediocre faceroll character is somehow good.
If Blizzard doesn't buff her she will be absolute trash once players go from potato-tier to tomato-tier in a few months.

But hey, if you are having fun then so be it, but don't try to use it as an argument for game balance.

4 PM PDT or 12 AM GMT if you're a non-preorder shitter

This. D.Va is a fucking hornet, you fly in, fuck someone up/stall for time/use your ult and get the fuck out.

I dunno if it really does anything, but I fly in, try and hit someone before I land, then unload on them while they're disoriented. I've taken out Bastions with Mercy's healing them this way.

You never want to go in from the front either, because everyone expects a flying NERF THIS, so use your flight to flank. Shits off cooldown often, so there's no excuse for you not to be flying around the map.

>comp in an unreleased game

>This. D.Va is a fucking hornet, you fly in, fuck someone up/stall for time/use your ult and get the fuck out.

>fly in
>get headshotted
>die

Are you retarded? I'm a mei player, I think the game is shallow because everything is incredibly easy to hit and takes no effort whatsoever

There is VERY little room for personal skill, half the heroes play themselves most of the time

>No mobility

False, she has meh mobility in the form of icewall boosts. If she had more she would be fucking retarded.

>no range

Learn to aim, I shit all over widows with right click and its not that hard to land once you learn it. Fun fact : right click headshot will kill a tracer at any range instantly.

>no damage

Only if you are a tank otherwise freeze > headshot combo = dead

Everyone also underestimates her ult damage

Well its not very likely I would've got it out of one box is it? 250 seems like a lot, but I definitely wouldve noticed it if it was from more than a few boxes. I had around that much during the stress tests, just seems weird

REINHARDT BEST
hamburgerhog also acceptable

>it's a "you're attacking vs torb, bastion and two tanks" episode

Her right click is mediocre compared to any other ranged attack, you are obviously playing against complete potatoes if you are somehow outshooting Widowmakers.

Please stop trying to discuss game balance by using your pub anecdotes.

Stop.

>try to make something easier to read instead of mashing it into a block of text
>end up triggering someone

As expected, mei gives me magical shitpost powers I didnt know I had

all i know is that one of us is angry about something menial and the other is just trolling the retard. i'll let you figure out whos who...

comp in this game is a joke and not even blizzard likes the comp ruleset the community uses

>Everyone aboard the Bastion sits on the payload train

CHOO CHOO! BOOP BOOP!

keep in mind people are only having trouble with mei because they're pretty new to the game
honestly you can't make comments on balance unless you're AT LEAST 40 hours in.

You sound the same as people who've played for two hours and bitch about bastion because they cant 1v1 him

Wording this
but it'll be a couple weeks before that

>make something easier to read
In fact, it had the opposite effect. I like mei though

>bastion sits in a choke

how do you counter this???

Agreed but he's so fucking boring to play

leave the game.

>please stop talking about game balance using the only game mode available
>please use our joke comp scene as a way to tell whats good or not

Are you a smash or TF2 "pro" player by any chance?

She's good for getting rid of the stragglers, people not with their team. Once you get in that freeze mist your as good as got since everyone knows the freeze and then double head shot tactic.

I just hate her because even full speed Lucio or running 76' can't get away from that beam without some shit to run around

>people whine about POTG being entirely ult kills
blizz tweaks it so ultimates aren't so prevalent as POTGs
>people whine about POTGs being boring like widow getting two headshots or bastion killing three rushing dudes in ten seconds

>im just trollan XDD

fair enough he gets fucked easily if the rest dont back him up
im enjoying him cause you get to smash niggers
also the charge is the most satisfying attack to land in the game

>its a "Reindhart and Bastion combo" episode

>all players are equal and there's no such thing as skill levels
I know you are really excited about the game and how you won some potato matches as Mei but you seriously need to stop posting.
Come back when you have played for more than 2 months.

Blizz will never win with potg, and it will keep getting worse because players just get mad it isn't some SUPER EPIC 360 HEADSHOT TEAMKILL.

It's all on how you play man. Sure you could be a retard and fly straight at a sniper or anyone else and get shot to shit or you could be smart and flank.

shoot the shield

go genji
sneak around behind the bastion
poke him with shurikens in his core so he turns around (away from the rein shield)
deflect the bastion to melt him in less than a second
proceed to harass and or kill the mercy

if the bastion is good he wont fire while you're deflecting but if you coordinate with your team, they can all pounce on the enemy while the bastion is looking at you

genji is also super hard to hit so you can just bounce around and keep poking the bastion's core or the mercy's face

mei is ok on attack she can wall off a bastion and wall off people rushing back to contest

Do you think mei does anal?
