Don't play Ana in comp much. Keep hearing she wasn't as good on console vs pc. Does this nerf make her useless then?

besides sombra, yeah that's a pretty broken team

>Junkrat

>No longer hurts himself from his own explosions. (Effect added to current passive: Total Mayhem)

NO

>sombra buffs
>4 second translocator cooldown
MY FUCKING COCK IS ON FIRE

CUTE

When I first saw those popping up, I thought they were joke titles.

I was very wrong.

Is this real?
Ana got GUTTED finally top kek Mercy is meta now.

He still has shitty distance game and is much weaker at midrange than Demoman in TF2. Learn to strafe and suddenly the grenades are USELESS.

>tfw getting POTG
>HACKED highlight intro
Diamonds.

Why would anybody play any hero other than Rein?

Look at the youtube videos of valkia, even though I never needed them since I come from old fps backgrounds, they're still useful for tips here and there

he´s also a very friendly guy

YES

I wouldn't mind faster grenades though, but I'll take ANY junkrat buff. ANY.

>Orb of Discord
>Can now target enemies through barriers
Orb of Discord
Can now target enemies through barriers

What?

You can spam E and try to find people behind walls now?

That sounds broken.

>can launch himself over the team, walk up behind and plug AOE nades into the tanks ass
>may kill someone when he gets shot

reaper is now even more useless

>Earlier today, I checked out the “ROADRAT GAY BATH-HOUSE RP” custom game, full of Roadhogs, Dvas and Junkrats. It was set in Ilios, where, obviously, there is a bath house. The players were in turns demanding sex in all-caps and running in circles. A Roadhog hooked a Junkrat repeatedly until that Junkrat launched himself into the air with a concussion mine, cackling with laughter. It was definitely a little BDSM. Also, Junkrats kept setting traps for Dvas, which left them open to Roadhog’s hook. In-game, that’s a good strategy, but here, I think it may have meant something else. I didn’t join voice chat.

Post placement ranks with your current ranks and record after placing.

>2530
>2714
>6-1

>everyone on my team in the PTR is insta-locking winston/orisa/ana/zenyatta/sombra so I'm forced to dps
>holding down left click the entire game trying to destroy shields
>whenever one goes down, there's always another to take its place
>500,000 damage, 0 elims

Is this bait?

>Ana gets fucked in her ass

Y
E
SEY

...

Remember when everyone thought Bastion was going to be the new meta?

>kotaku

*Dies getting airshot*

Tell your Sombra and Orisa to shoot the barriers as well.

me on the left

>Gaming """journalism"""

barriers =/= walls

>there are people still intentionally deranking

I'm glad there are characters like Mercy and Winston that allow me to play in Masters despite not knowing how to aim. I also pocketed a Tracer as Mercy in the same game for the first time.

If nerf makes it to console and it will then she becomes shit tier.

>So long gay Genji!

What did he mean by this?

Mercy, Tracer, and Pharah rule in console meta.

>all these people going insane screaming about Ana now being utterly useless

All they did was lower some numbers, you panicky babies. She's still got her entire kit with a 4-in-1 button and the strongest CC in the game, all that happened is she isn't the absolute be-all end-all healer and isn't one of the best DPS characters anymore.

I WANT ORISA AND I WANT HER NOW, WHEN DOES SHE COME OUT

She's probably the hardest character to play well on Console along with McCree, but was still OP enough to compensate for potato aim
Now there's absolutely no reason to use her, similar to using McCree over Soldier

If only Bastion could fuck back off, I'm maybe be able to enjoy chasing Mercy as Winston again, but I can't see that happening for a while

hehe, epic trole, simply epic for the WIN!

>having a dive tank with a anchor tank
>having orisa+bastion for diving
>having winston+zen if you aren't diving

I don't understand what's going on in there.

Why do people get so salty in the 1v1 mode? I swear its worse than competitive

Because randoms are fucking retarded half the time. They can't be counted on to coordinate with the tank on A-B capture maps.

You know that friend who acts like they're a pro and too good to play with you, like they're a Grandmaster, when the highest they've ever gotten is mid-Platinum?

You know that friend who auto locks their main and expects everyone else to build the comp around them?

You know that friend who insists on having a Rein and then avoids him like the plague, never behind the shield, never giving support, yet constantly bitching whenever the shield is down for even a second?

You know that friend who throws a tantrum every time they die, because the number one priority of the rest of the team should be to keep them alive?

You know that friend who sarcastically tells everyone they need to do their jobs after a loss despite hanging in the back, getting no golds that match, and consistently trying to implement the strategy of "go up the middle every single time and then maybe go up during the last 30 second push?"

You know when that friend mains Ana?

Good times my friends. Good times ahead.

Dunno. People are usually pretty chill when I play 1vs1.
I usually greet them before the match

why are people so tryhards in 1v1? I swear people watch some ultimate youtube guides before they go 1v1s

>Sombra is getting increasingly more viable

Can't be too long until her spread size is buffed and she can kill things reliably. I am SO pumped.

Killing Ana as Winston is already easy, can't wait for the nerf, jumping her will be even easier.

>tfw will never have some cosplay grill dress up as blu

>silver border instapicks Hanzo
>have to rein because nobody wants to
>someone on the other team leaves and the game is cancelled

Today was a wild day on forums

Classic Jeff.

>we need symmetra buffs
>ok let me completely vamp her to a 60% winrate hero

>we need bastion buffs
>ok let me basically revert him back to the beta days

>we need Ana nerfs
>ok let me completely gut her to oblivion

Can they not balance this game GRADUALLY instead of making such drastic changes every time?

>1v1
>Widowmaker
>you can predict with 90+% certainty that they will hookshot up from their spawn and try to get an early pick

>Mercy in the high chaps scene!

>telling teammates to do anything in quickplay
I haven't played a single match since the PTR update that wasn't at least half full of pissy people, no way am I going to feed that fire

>Shitstomping the hanzo main that tried to shit talk you in the previous game.
I have truly experienced tranquility.

What was the distance for sound for Sombra's stealth before the buff? Is 15 meters a significant difference?

Get fucked, anas who play as widows and not heal are the worst anas.

>sleep the monkey
>call my team
>monkey is dead

Lol

>it's an enemy Reinhardt has over 150 hours as Rein episode

who writes this shit

I like Efi.

>All they did was lower some numbers, you panicky babies.
>nerf the aspects that make her fun to play; independence, match up vs flankers, long cd, high utility skills, fast reload means choices matter
>ignore her real issues: healing lockout, nade radius and hitbox, nade healing increase is still a lot
With the proposed changes, she turns into a sleep dart, a heal lockout, and an ult. She is still going to be required in the meta, but she is just going to be a lot more vulnerable and less fun to play.

This is the wrong direction for her much needed nerf, and just generally makes her a lot less fun to play.

No because whatever Jeff's job title is, it lets him completely ignore everything except for checking Reddit once a week. I think the only company on Earth with a balance team that actually shows up to work 40 hours a week is Nintendo.

My dick likes her, too!

>nerf the aspects that make her fun to play - being overpowered

Ana tears are fucking delicious

You know - there are so many games that I've played here ana was a complete cunt

either you have very kind anas

or complete assholes

there are no in between

Yet I struggle to have fun with pretty much anything Nintendo makes these days. Zelda being an obvious exception.

I was being about half sarcastic, I don't actually believe that your teammates just aren't shooting anything, and if they ARE shooting enemies instead of barriers, you can too.
Besides as bastion you shouldn't be having much problem mowing down barriers.

>just generally makes her a lot less fun to play.

Like playing Reinhardt is a barrel of monkeys, but god forbid if your team doesn't have one and you don't switch when the Ana main tells you to.

>nerf the aspects that make her fun to play - being overpowered
>completely miss the aspects that make her overpowered; healing lockout, healing percent buff, 6s CC, percent damage buff/mitigation ult
You must not play this game too often.

My dick likes her more.
She's cute!

I WANT ORISA TO TRAMPLE ME WITH HER MANY LEGS

I played against a bunch of smurf teams on Monday night. You can tell when a six stack of no star golds are playing like Olympian gods.

The one time I was actually able to convince our random team to get their shit together and bring their 'A' game we won.

>support being able to outdamage flankers and having ultimate fuck you tool is not overpowered

Tbh fire emblem is fun, even their new mobile game is a good time killer, plus waifus and it's free.
Literally the only phone game I have played for more than 10 minutes and it's by Nintendo.

>enemy pharmercy wrecking the team
>im soldier
>dedicate my time to hunting pharmercy
>cant kill either at long range cuz damage drop off is the worst thing ever invented in vidya
>cant kill either at short range cuz i get raped by enemy tanks
>ask team for help dealing with pharmercy
>suggest someone change to ana or zen or mccree to help
>we have junkrat, mercy, and lucio
> they dont change
>they blame me for loss

this was so enraging that i quit the game. how do i solve this problem? or should i just not reinstall the game, and continue playing games that are actually fun.

Reinhardt needs some changes too, honestly. He is too focused in his role, and that limits what the devs can do with him. With the robot bitch coming out, some changes to reinhardt might be possible.
Perhaps an alteration to his shield, and compensation with something else.

It's all personal taste I guess. I personally enjoy most of what Nintendo rolls out.

What was the WHOLE POINT of efi if the hero Orisa is just a robot like Bastion?

Efi isn't in the game, she's just a footnote lore spice to Orisa, which is the main feature. This was literally done to make it look like some nigger child is able to be good at robotics and is "smart" because muh diversity.

Robots have no race or gender why the fuck are they shoehorning Orisa like she's African?

are you new to online gaming?

I've had worse experiences than this.

you deal with this problem by growing a spine and not letting people dictate your feelings.

>flankers guarenteed an easy kill if they flank the team without the tank noticing
Yep, sounds fun. The real issue is, as is with all Blizzard balancing issues, that tanks are a bit over-tuned in most regards.

No, you idiot. New Meta is:

Orisa/Bastion/76/(Zarya or Rein)/Ana/Zenyatta (especially if his buffs go through)

If Ana nerfs go through, replace her with Mercy or Lucio as the map/comp requires.

>When you get in front of your ana for healing
>say hello instead of i need healing as courtesy and bitch ignores you completely
or
>someone instalocks ana
>we get 2 tanks and dps
>pick mercy/lucio/zen to support ana
>they swap to something else

Fuck anas, glad they got nerfed.

Rein buff is orisa release, rein covers her weakness against close range and orisa covers rein weakness against long range.
Together they're perfection.

>be shit at the game
>cry about every balance
git gud shitter

Except for the fucking Stamina costs on Lunatic, as if Chapter 9 wasn't bullshit enough you basically have 2 runs in one go. Also there's absolutely no way to influence the units you summon beyond their color. I don't even want a 5-star unit, I just want one that's not complete shit.

>or should i just not reinstall the game, and continue playing games that are actually fun.

This.
This game is not meant to be played competitively and alone.

It is only fun with friends in QP, don't torture yourself.

>flankers guaranteed an easy kill if THEY FLANK THEY TEAM WITHOUT THE TANK NOTICING
Yes, exactly. that's how its supposed to be dumbass

Because Numbani is in Africa and they wanted to tease us with the Doomfist

Oh I can do this too.
>implying my Genji and Tracer haven't made you waste it
