You call this a general?

Thoughts on meta changes / new stuff

>Ana
She's pretty good, she heals a lot and puts out pretty good utility and damage, just that it's unclear just how much she's actually helping her team instead of someone else in her place. She definitely isn't shit or trash tier but she might not be that great.
>Zenyatta
Probably OP. He arguably outclasses soldier, and ana. Crazy good DPS, good heals, good utility, and he doesnt die instantly now. They need to take something away I think.
>DVa
really good spot now I think. She still has that horrible critical hit box and her guns are crap past 12 cenimeters, but she can perform her harassment and aggressive ulting role better.

This game is fucked and I am going to lay out some reasons:

Too many characters who don't have to aim in a SHOOTING game.

No stealth character, seriously wtf blizzard.

Respawn timers are too short. Should be 10 - 30 seconds.

No actual advancement. What's the point in playing?

Boring objectives. They are all variations on 'sit on the thing'.

Too many characters have invulnerability and some can give it to others. This is BS. I'd understand if a melee attack had 2 - 3 frames of invulnerability to give you an advantage in close quarters but actual invulnerability is stupid. Speaking of:

Melee attacks are too weak and they look retarded. With the exception of Reinhardt all melee attacks should do big damage or be instant kills like in a real shooter as reward for the risk of getting close. Reinhardt is a melee specialist so he should be expected to land more hits.

Not even out a year and they are already panicking and releasing a new character for 'free'.

The game has 'support' characters but only one of them can res and one of them doesn't even heal wtf kind of support is that.

No CTF or Hostage-based game modes, this is obvious.

It has some elaborate backstory in support of a game that wastes it completely. Its a series of pointless conflicts that aren't in canon with anything we're presented with. It's like a sandpit with a bunch of toys in it from a show that doesn't exist.

Releasing content gradually instead of doing a real expansion.

>Zenyatta
>damage

He's support FYI.
If you want to damage pick a different class.

Zenyatta is still the shitiest hero even after being patched

By that logic Symmetra doesn't do damage.

Read the actual patch notes
>While Zenyatta has never had the healing abilities of Lúcio or Mercy, he made up for it by dealing more damage. However, his lack of mobility and low health has meant he’s struggled to find a place in many games. To increase his effectiveness, we've made several changes, the biggest of which is an increased shield pool. This will allow him to go head-to-head with more enemies.

He's supposed to be able to do damage.

Symmetra only does damage if you're a moron and stand in her turrets.

Her job is to use turrets to ward areas and tell when the enemy is coming and to set up her teleporter. Damage is tertiary to the character and she should lose 1v1 against almost any other character.

that's because they fucking gave him more health, instead of what he really needed.
Either faster movement speed, or more powerful healing.

Faster movement speed if they were going for the "viable as a fighter" path

More powerful healing if they want to make Zenyatta a glass buff to the grouped team.

Zenyatta is perfectly fine and needs no buff. All the other characters are literally easy mode and people are whining because he requires more aim than hanzo and widow. Discord is the best ability in the game. People just dont want to put in the work.

likely outcome for zen: Will be picked moderately high on defense maps but mercy will be picked even more often and lucio with remain ever popular on attack and KOTH

What no one is talking about:
>Self heal increases ult charge
>Mei's ult charge time not reduced despite having a powerful self heal

You've literally never played Symmetra for more than five minutes.

Ana x Rein
Can old people have sex

So I tried McCree for the first time, in the PTR.

I actually did really fucking well. Lots of head shots and well placed body shots from long distances.

Is he OP again?
Either that or this guy was made for me. I always liked sharp shooter types, but I didn't end up like Windowlicker or Hanzo.

Why the fuck are people playing Genji on PTR?

The new sniper can ult him and then he can kill everyone with 1 hit.

I want to anal the Ana.

post FORGOTTEN heroes

How do we make Bastion good at high levels without making him more of a god at shitter level?

I want Ana to tell me a bedtime story
Goo goo gaa gaa

Why are Ana's so retarded?
They'll sleep me, walk up, shoot+melee then flip the fuck out when I wake up.

Do they not know their grenade does damage?

this is the best skin in the game

is mccree good again?

He is damage support. His heals are more like "here it is now fuck off so I can kick this tank to death"

>tfw you abuse someone with low mouse sensitivity

> Know I'm not shit at the game
> Do well in quick play when the game's not trying to force 50 me
> Lose 7 of my placement matches
> Get rank 36
I was only going through the placement matches to get the sprays and shit but that's still pretty annoying

>causing absolute mayhem and chaos in the enemies backline as genji

>Symmetra with more move speed and more damage with DR and a fully charged beam

How's your aim?

can move at half speed while in turret mode

>playing Reaper in Attack on Anubis
>my team completely fucks them over on the first point, we take it within a minute
>on the second point I teleport over to the pillar and drop my ult on them while they're prepping
>kill 4 of them and then their Winston a few seconds later
>PotG is me as I was expecting since I was the only one to pop an ult
>instead of my shutdown ult with 4 kills at the end it's just a clip of me killing a single spawncamping junkrat at the beginning of the game and that's it

zenyatta is a beast
how long until the ptr buffs make it to the main game?

Foxy grandma. It sounds like Reinhardt has a crush on her.

I like this one better tho

i have seen death
it has a scary face

Alright, lets say hypothetically I live under a rock and don't come here very often....
How are people already playing Ana?

>play Reaper
>kill Mei___
>a soul drops
Hmmmmmmmmm

Public Test Realm (PTR)

>making him able to move in turret mode
>without a single nerf to his damage
user you must be crazy

Buff recon mode somehow. Faster mode switch speed perhaps.

Haven't you been paying attention to the game's lore?

Computers are retarded.

>tfw that pic was made by someone when I requested it

Shame about KF2 going the way it did.

PTR

They're pregame interaction is a bit saucy isn't it? I'm thinking they used to do the nasty, hasselhoff playing softly in the background, tender foreplay, sweet murmured declarations of adaptation, then HAMMER DOWN.

If his fuck is in proportion to the rest of his body, she's be walking bow legged for a week.

Rein/mercy shippers on suicide watch etc yawn.

That's not Madjak.
Why wouldn't it?
Still living under a rock here.

Cos u got dat pleb taste

He's quite possibly tied with Mei for the worst character in the game, user.

>hypothetically I live under a rock

Casual.

Chinks don't have souls.

>tfw ana goes back to overwatch and now works under mercy
>tfw her boss is banging her daughter

If they can fight, they can fuck.

Wait.

How do you put a robot to sleep with a tranq dart?

Less spread on his gun. It does good damage but the high spread and low magazine size really hurt him.

Those patch notes sound pretty promising.

Nanobots

Ana

How do robots bleed?

I main Winston

emp

Let shitter levels burn.

Why do robots have "Health" instead of armor?

>torbjorn
>bastion
>widow
>tracer
>zarya
>winston

the game is much more enjoyable after I started insta-leaving if I see any of these heroes on the enemy team.

Everyone in this game has a soul

Except Mei

Mei is a soulless cold demon

I was almost 59 2 days ago. I have already lose at least 3 levels because of leavers on my team.
Im fucking tired of this game, ranked is so retarded, I just got beaten by 2 gorilas, 2 tracers and 2 lucios

Okay, so, open the Bnet launcher. Click on Overwatch. Click on "Region/Account" on the bottom left. Click "PTR". Download it. All done!

Just saw one die to a diva ult when he had the boost.

Doesn't

Let him heal while moving in Recon mode. Reduce the healing rate when he's not standing still if need be. What usually happens is he gets attacked, so he flips to Recon and runs around a corner. Attackers follow and find him standing still healing.

dank Ana memes, gotta cash in while the market is still hot

This user simply sits in the menus and claims he plays the game

I own a PS4 under this rock.

It's actually a really nice rock.

...

Boss? B-BOSS??

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

The public test realm is basically a beta test of the upcoming patch, Blizzard always does it with all their games. Anyone that owns the game on PC can download it.

No PTR on PS4 then.

there is no risk to getting close because of massive health bars, imagine if Winston could reliably melee people to death

CTF and hostage modes are shit

a periodic update cycle is necessary to balance heroes

there are some points that are good and many more that are bad but this post is bait anyway

>character with the highest dps in the game while moving
>"if u want dmg pick other class lmao xd"

...

You may still have issues playing McCree than. Against him as Winston shouldn't be appreciably different as you'll often be in his face anyhow. Mid range headshots will hurt though.

>the second i hit lvl 200 every game is just comments about it

this is annoying

Blizzard let's the public test new features to a game to help work out the kinks. It's only on pc and only those who download it.

Approve.

Yes
Yes
No (I don't even die but I don't want not to have a team)
Being a kool kid
Yes
Doesn't matter
(You)
(You)
(You), specially about the "non-healing support"
Yes
It's not elaborate, it's half-assed and tryhard

So is this suppose to be a metaphor since his nerf with no one playing him anymore?

MORE ANA AND FARAH

Is there a release date of this new character in the oficial client?

>never wanted to fuck an old lady before Ana reveal

How do you seduce an old lady?

stand hero when?

It doesn't need changing. At high level, you should only ever be picking him for the brief moments when he may still be useful, like the last straight in a payload game when the other team have almost got it home, maybe.

As a high level player you should already know when to switch and when he might have some utility.

Bastion is fine as is. Only an idiot would want to play him for more than a few minutes anyway, although he is a cute little dickens.

>No stealth character, seriously wtf blizzard.
cancer
>No actual advancement. What's the point in playing?
to play the fucking game you millennial

i'm not even gonna argue the rest of the points because you have a problem

Being console only is pain.
I just wana toaster.....

BEST MAMA/DAUGHTERU TEAM

No it's telling players "use this to interrupt ults".

don't worry, playing against people as good as you are is just a grind anyway, enjoy low elo while you can

Please stop with this amputee meme it's making me bothered

They tried that with Battleborn.

Didn't take.
