Imagine how much the meta would shift for the better if Sombra was allowed to have the buffs she actually needs.

Suppose Blizzard gave you the power to remove 1 hero from the game in its entirety. Who do you pick?

http://www.strawpoll.me/12596151

>>171921163
Lucio

>>171921163
Widowmaker

I think sniping attracts the worst and when people are good at it it's just not fun to play against

>see somebody with a girlish name on your team

wat do

>>171921272
Vote on the strawpoll.

Also, why Lucio?

>>171921297
play the game
i mean, what else i'm gonna do

>>171921163
In the past if this was a real thing, we could just fix the game by removing Reinhardt. Now there's also the negrotaur.

>>171921298
I think he's the most boring character, but he's absolutely necessary. Bad combo. Get rid of him, characters based around passive auras are always terrible.

>>171920974
I like Posh and Rose better but it is good. Why are her legendaries terrible?

>pick reinhardt on attack
>literally never go past the choke unless your flankers somehow manage to get a teamwipe alone
how the fuck are these people in diamond

>>171921297
If she isn't in a two man team (she is tho) consider picking someone who works good with Mercy.

>>171921163
Genji purely because he's a magnet for idiots and I don't want people playing a useless ass hero

People stopped fotming hanzo, and widowmaker also attracts idiots but at least she can be good in the right hands

Genji is just a useless block of wood who does nothing until he ults and then gets immediately cc'd or has to use reflect wasting 50% of the duration and/or killing him

>>171921158
>It's a Genji never switches when the enemy team is Rein, D.Va, Mei, Winston, Soldier and Lucio episode

>>171921163
Removing Reinhardt would force them to actually fix their shit map design instead of forcing us to slow push forever.

>>171921427
Diamond is the new plat now

Why doesn't Rein have a melee attack?

the new Lucio changes are over the top. They buffed him too much. On top of this insane movement I can also do a good chunk of damage? As someone who can already land headshots consistently with Lucio, this moves him from the "annoying" category to just plain dangerous. A SUPPORT.
They should at least remove one or more of his buffs, like the increased projectile speed or the speedboost when you jump off a wall

>>171921292
This, I swear to god. A bad widow is annoying to have on your team, a good widow is the most anti-fun shit and just forces everyone to cluster around Reinhardt even more

At least in other games there's multiple flanking routes and everyone isn't slow as molasses, and they don't give the sniper a goddamn grappling hook

why was blizzard willing to dump a dozen buffs on Ana within 2 weeks but barely gives anything to Sombra whenever they buff her?

>>171922187
well yeah if i have a charged up ult ill use it before switching
but for example if i play tracer and the enemy team has barriers out the ass and its back covered by symmetra turrets i feel it's more useful for me to just give up on that half charged pulse bomb and switch to pharah or junkrat to unload a bunch of damage on the barriers

>switching a hero as soon as possible or getting an ult as the hero you're currently playing

Depends on the impact of the ULT and the problem you are looking to solve with a switch. D.va's ULT can gain your team the CP so maybe you keep it, even if that means you can't switch to Winston to deal with a Genji. Being at least you can try to deal with it as D.va.

but say Junkrat vs a Pharah or Zarya, his ULT is only good for a few kills at best unless the other team is all shitters. Yet a Pharah can rip the living shit out of your team and maybe the Zarya is always at max charge slaughtering everyone left and right. The few kills from the ULT is not worth the body count that stacks up as you gain 60% more ULT charge.... to get 2-3 kills

I actually love this now. At least now when we lose I can say I could've done something about it. I fucking hate. HATE. Playing Reinhardt. I think he is the most fun hero, but I can't stomach losing anymore and having my team scratch their heads like they don't know what the fuck the problem was.

At least now when I lose I can say I could've prevented it somehow.

what Sombra skin should I buy?

>>171923102
did you screech over mic ad infinitum about the virtue of hiding behind your shield and pushing forward

while also understanding your own limitations and not overextending if they actually listen?

>>171923140
Noche, Glitch, or Cyberspace

>>171923216
They don't listen, that is the problem. And I never rage, at least not over the mic. I just politely point out what is going wrong, and ask for a correction. Most of the time I don't get it.

It's just infuriating to watch your team not understand Reinhardt because they don't play him because he is "boring". At least understand him you mother fuckers, so that you can play with me and not against.

My favorite is when I get the perfect charge off, and no one follows up. Oh, but when I get a fat earthshatter down everyone turns into a fucking shark when there is chum in the water.

Should I main Mei? She seems pretty ok on attack. Ice wall a choke and you can get in pretty easily

>>171923448
I mean "maining" a character like Mei isn't the best idea cause she's not always the best like a Rein or Ana, but I'd definitely learn her. She's very underestimated, you can get a lot of kills just separating people with the wall

>>171923448
She's meh on attack. Practise on hitting her right click if you want some picks. Mostly focus on area denial, separating the enemy team and zoning though. If you want to play her on attack, don't take the role of a dps but take the role of a tank.

I am willing to level with people that there are a lot of shitty Reinhardts out there, and it creates distrust and lack of willingness to follow up with Reinhardts because you generally assume we're all shit. Ok, fine.

But if you clearly see I know my shit, please, PLEASE fucking work with me. Follow up on my charges, bubble me if we have a Zarya, stay behind my shield. Don't just fucking notice me when I earthshatter you mother fuckers.

Not that it really matters, I honestly hit my breaking point with Rein last week and ever since have been doing nothing but playing Reaper. I highly doubt I'll ever go Rein again until I get to an SR tier that is cohesive enough to listen to me. Rein just takes too much trust for low tiers.

They wanted him to be more involved and less of a must pick. His healing is much better now and he can actually do thing by himself but he has to remain close to people now. No more contributing massively to a team by just being there

>>171924178
too much work when they could just change numbers around

He is fun, that is all I care about now.

He can shortdick any tank in the game, especially Roadhog if the Hog you're fighting doesn't have his hook/misses it.

Melts tanks and supports, creates lots of disorder in the enemy team when flanking.

It's like a Tracer, but slow, capable of taking different flanking routes, way more tanky and easier to aim with. Also has a kinda shitty ult that charges slowly.

If it's gone before you can fly off, your positioning is at fault.

So you use your wrist mainly to aim. Which generally isn't good for long periods of time. I keep my sens low for big mouse movements so I can be more accurate with big arm movements to control the mouse and then wrist rarely for corrections. Try lowering your sensitivity and see how it feels.

Torb by himself is actually not bad. But a big part of his value is in his Turret, which is beyond useless at level 1. He's a strong addition to a defending team, especially if his Turret goes on a long time without dying. The problem is how long it takes up to set up another level 2 turret on the fly.

So, here's a proposal. What if throwing armor at a level 1 Turret instantly levels it up to level 2? It would make him good for mid-fights, but it's not overpowered because that's still armor that could have otherwise gone to himself or an ally.

I too am a Reinhardt main, and pretty above average player overall, can play soldier, Lució, Ana, every tank very well. While it is true that a good dps packs more of a punch (the difference of a good and bad dps is abysmal) than Reinhardt, it doesn't really matter if you play dps since it means you're getting a shitty Reinhardt most of the time. There's no perfect option than can make you surely win and you are relying on your team always no matter how good you are.
That's why I've been playing a lot of Winston too. He's the most independent tank with the most carry potential. You are not relying on your team to make a move, you make the move and your team hopefully takes the chance. As long as you are distracting more than 1 person as Winston your team is essentially at a 5v3-4 advantage, while you can kill the supports in the backline.
So if you see that you just can't do anything with Reinhardt and your dps suck at tank, go Winston. Reinhardt isn't mandatory at all if you are doing your job.

I can see it happening.

Should I be worrying myself about flankers as junkrat or just keep spamming the choke? Going after the pro genji or whoever just hopped the wall almost always results in me dying and us losing the first point because the rest of the team could then waltz in freely.

It's probably QP memes. I thought I was terrible at zarya after only playing her in QP where it's usually genji, hanzo, widow soldier plus one healer and me as zarya and I thought I sucked. I played her in comp afterwards and carried pretty hard in my third game or so, while performing decently in the others. After 9 games I had 5 wins, 3 draws and one loss. Way better than I'd ever imagined.

You're almost entirely dependent on your team so good fucking luck. If you can quickly swap between teammates in team fights, consistently help finish enemies with your handgun, and use cover/positioning appropriately it'll be rough but you can make it to GM.

It won't be that bad if you have a mic, it was awful for me to get that high since I don't have a mic and I'm a support main/off-tank main.

how did you climb with junkrat?

>>171932572
Guess it would require actually effort from Blizz's side. Maybe banning anything but the Latin alphabet being used in names/chat. Relying on the age put in the account to connect to them.

Though it would also rely on quick reviewing on reports of people breaking the rules and Blizz actually getting of their lazy asses to do something.

Though it isn't something the Devs would do, since it'd be segregation, and the Overwatch devs are very 'inclusive' to every piece of shit on this dying rock.

Since we are talking about seperate servers. How about microphone only servers? In order to queue you have to make noise in a microphone or something.

Maybe literally say "Start queue" into your mic

Just remove group chat from the game (cause it's useless since most groups use discord/ts/mumble etc) and force everyone into party chat. And then make it viewable to the rest of the team when they have muted you, so if they play like shit and get reported, they are more likely to get banned for not being a team player

>>171933018
Yeah I thought about that mid post. That's why I added the "say 'start queue'" part. But still I'm sure they could just virtual audio cable someone saying "start queue"

I like to play a flanking junkrat vs the spamming one, pick an alternate route to get behind the enemy and pick off supports with the ol grenade satchel combo, and if you encounter anyone junk is really good at the 1v1 since all he needs is one grenade to hit before he can finish them off

Also, following up, can we just talk about how shit the tab menu is?

We can't look at any other players statistics during the game and you can't EVEN see their ult percentages. I know they want people to communicate, but when playing with the edgiest Junk and Hanzo main every game who only speaks gibberish, you sorta need to know

Hey if I start using my mic will I win more?

>>171935285
No you'll just get mad more because people will hear you but not listen.

That's not my point. I was about to complain about Mercy's self-heal's speed.

Orisa, maybe genji.

remember to ask on teamchat who has a mic and make some good prep time before the match to raise team morale
I'm not joking,using your mic can go both ways.If you're a tryharder that shits on every missed shot or scream for healing in the chat you will lose more.If you encourage other good plays and don't boss around but try to use teamwork you will win more

>>171935342
People that instalock Widow tend to be good

People that instalock Genji/Junkrat /think/ they're good

>>171935285
>Hey if I start communicating with my team to tell them where the enemy is flanking, when the ults are ready, coordinate the push with my genji's flank without stopping playing will I win more?

Take a wild guess

>play 4 stack with brothers
>two stack we get matched with picks widowmaker and hanzo
every time. every single fucking time. why do these two stacks exist? what kind of people are they? what kicks do they get out of it?

>>171935342
orisa has more utility than all of those others combined,even if no one has mastered her yet.

I cringed more at the controller than the anime.

Who the fuck chooses controller over mouse/keyboard?

Thanks, follow up question though: is trying to initiate with zenyatta's ult ever a good idea? Because fairly often we'll be sitting at the choke with 6 ults and nobody does anything until I experience tranquility and prompt them to push in.

>>171935052
Lucio just got his self healing nerfed by 33% on the PTR so I'm guessing not.

>>171935676
*all the other girls minus Zarya and Orisa

>>171935718
If you're solo queing,maybe
If you use your mic and have some teamwork it would be better to initiate with a rein ult once their rein shield is down or zarya.
Zen's is more fore counter ults

>>171935718
I'm not sure what level you are at, but at Master level it's more of a defensive ult. If you hear an enemy ult going off you'll usually pop tranquility.

However, we do use tranquility in chokepoints like how you describe if we are out of time and NEED TO GO NOW.

If that's what it takes to get people at your level to push then keep it up.

I'm the reason you're losing rank, people.

The problem orisa has is that she doesn't have any good way to initiate a team push. winston, zarya, reinhardt and roadhog all have abilities that signal "TIME TO GO THE FUCK IN". Orisa's ult while being good it won't really force your team to go in, it's better left for when your team is already engaging so it doesn't die immediately.

I think this is going to hurt her main tanking opportunity and why she won't start getting picked over reinhardt.

>>171936256
just buy a new HDMI cable you double numbani,it's not that expensive

>>171936256
>display port
liking this meme. literally DVI that costs 20 bucks more.

>>171936312
She's not a main tank, and people have been saying as such since the instant she went up on the PTR.

>>171936312
what about her graviton charge?Unless you're playing a map with pits you can use it to get their squish heroes to a easy spot,the DPSs get some picks and your team can push on the advantage.Worst case scenario throw a barrier in the enemy face and force push your team there to gain terrain

>>171936312
>go in with orisa
>throw a barrier down and put your ult behind it
>just as the barrier breaks press shift and stand on top of your ult

Sure, it's not ideal, but you can draw the enemy aggro for a good few seconds with that while your team hopefully uses the damage boost to get shit done

can you shoot Orisa's supercharger?
What are the best ult combos to go with it?

I have DVI actually, but I assumed those were deprecated.

>>171936592
>can you shoot Orisa's supercharger?
Yes.
>What are the best ult combos to go with it?
You probably don't even need those too much desu, your entire fucking team is doing +50% more damage, you just need the DPS to do their jobs

>>171936592
Yes, if you're trying to say it's destructible, it is. I don't know the exact HP but 3 junkrat nades destroy it.

As for best ults, anything that benefited from a mercy boost or a nano boost benefits from it.

>>171936592
the only combo I think works well w/ orisa would be 76 ult with orisa, she can put a barrier up for him while boosting his danny. seems ok but overall orisa is worse-then-sombra tier

>>171936735
>orisa is worse-then-sombra tier
Not really.

nice shopping ability you have there
also displayport supports much larger resolutions/higher framerates than dvi

Orisa is

She gets killed instantly, her charge can be destroyed and the shield is a joke.
