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.

You can spam E and try to find people behind walls now?
That sounds broken.

>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.

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.

>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.
Samuel Butler
I WANT ORISA AND I WANT HER NOW, WHEN DOES SHE COME OUT
Blake Sanders
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

Why do people get so salty in the 1v1 mode? I swear its worse than competitive
Christian Nguyen
Because randoms are fucking retarded half the time. They can't be counted on to coordinate with the tank on A-B capture maps.
Jonathan Williams
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.
Caleb Walker
Dunno. People are usually pretty chill when I play 1vs1. I usually greet them before the match
John Perry
why are people so tryhards in 1v1? I swear people watch some ultimate youtube guides before they go 1v1s

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.

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

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

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.
Jonathan Reed
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.
Sebastian Cruz
My dick likes her, too!

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

or complete assholes
there are no in between
Landon Turner
Yet I struggle to have fun with pretty much anything Nintendo makes these days. Zelda being an obvious exception.
Robert Mitchell
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.
Angel Morales
>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.
Jose Robinson
>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.

Jace Butler
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.
Cooper Smith

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.

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.
Jace Sanchez
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.
Aaron Fisher
It's all personal taste I guess. I personally enjoy most of what Nintendo rolls out.
Ayden Reyes
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?
James Cruz
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.
Kayden Richardson
>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.
Logan Watson
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.
David Allen
>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.
Mason Jones

Parker Reed
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.
Gabriel Sanchez
>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.
Luke Thompson
