Its sad that everyone is insta lock to ana.. as ana main I miss the days where everyone goes dps and no one picks ana lol
TBh, I think dps are in a pretty shitty slot right now
It occasionally can take a few days, check the what's new tab also 2 of them are player icons and won't show up in the what's new. If there not there in a couple of days email Blizzard support.

Sombra doesn't have I win buttons and that is what it all about in 2500SR range and below, so it doesn't matter how effective she can be because to kill she needs just shoot and many DPS players are bad at that.
I still cant get over you thinking Sombra doesn't insta win against Doom. The second half of that video isn't even sombra killing him.
People in lower SR will ignore hacked Doom, that's the issue.
Doom's uppercut and slam used to be 8 seconds right? Or am I imagining that.
And thats exactly why theyre in lower ranks so it all works out.
But more specifically even if they dont kill him theyve shut him down from doing what hes designed to do which is get in, get a quick kill and get out. A hack prevents both so even if he gets away youve shut him down from being able to do anything which is an instant win.
Not sure how long the cool downs used to be, i dont recall them getting reworked but i never played the character that much so i couldnt say.
I didn't say that. I said she has no I win button for getting kills. Mei freezes enemies so helpless, Doom has rocket punch, McCree flash-fan combo, hanzo storm arrows, the massive damage of Reaper and Bastion, this is what lower ranked DPS thrive on and how they get kills and Sombra doesn't have that so they won't don't use her. A hacked Doom can still move and that enough for the DPS to play someone else.
OP
OP
prempt genji in chat talk about being unmotivated in chat and he doesn't know why hes playing anymore. i see why he said that because he's shit and then blame me when i gave nano to rein the first time. but when i gave him the nano. i just watched him get anti, stunned, and die to zarya/moira. looked at his past seasons except the last one. LOL OKAY.

And I explained getting kills doesn't make a hack on doom not an instant win button, see above. A hack on doom is an instant win even if you dont kill him because youve prevented him from diving in to kill a healer, and prevented him from easily getting away. Blocking doom from playing the game he was designed to play it means youve countered him. If he wants to continue to take up a spot on DPS and not do dps then youve made it a 6 vs 5. As to the rest of your points, thats why theyre at, and will stay at lower ranks. Shrug.
I agree with you, but that was never my point. I posted why Sombra isn't popular despite her usefulness.
Finally some progress. Back in the 24XXs with tank. Most of my success has been with Reinhardt. I'm just playing aggressive, Sigma and Orisa players don't know what to do.

Has the audio bug (where it doesn't play ultimate sounds from behind) still a thing?
I figured as much. There are moments when you use an emote, the respective sound effect will not be enabled.

I'm actually ok with them tbh. Though other than the big shield duration, I probably won't notice that much difference.
I like the look of all those changes, well maybe symm shouldn't have been knocked down further.
Slightly Improved winston bubble makes me unusually pleased.

Probably not the wisest decision to only have RQ QP on PTR

Symmetra is like the smallest problem in double shields, but somehow got hit with the largest nerf.
That buff to Winston feels like it's going to be huge. Also surprised they buffed defense matrix.
And tracers damage! Chance , break out the champagne.
And I don't think that nerf to dooms rocket punch was necessary if they were taking away his shields.

Yeah the sym nerf is so odd. Most people recognize shes a symptom to the larger problem here.
Glad winston and diva got buffed.
I finally did my DPS placements (takes hours because of the que time), I never play DPS. I went 4-1 and placed 2760. My tank is at 2363 and my support (which was my main) is 2152, lol.
Guess I'll work on my support.

Whenever there's one of these skin events I'm guaranteed to have the worst games I've ever played in Overwatch. Just my luck I guess.
They hate her and aren't even trying to hide. Lucio got a ton of unwarranted buffs despite still being great since the moth died, this team just plays favorites at this rate lol
What are you talking about ? Lucio + almost all other healers are only valuable with moira in your team and that almost never happens to me... I get ana mains instead of moira all the freaking time... its funny cause I never seen ana mains I was one of the few before 2 2 2 meta lol. All those dps mains came to steal my ana... freaking hell
Imo this entire patch is a warm blanket of microbuffs to Tracer, Genji, Winston and Rein too. The range change is nice like having Soldier's first few bullets be perfectly accurate, but it's not something you'll really notice.
Grats! I got a surprise like that too - turns out I'm a better tank than I thought ^.^

This is insane. And such a drastic change for Tracer.

We could already do it at 10 yards with headshots. This is a negligible difference, and requires flawless aim and it'll be another full second before she can attempt it again. In that span a Hanzo has fired 3 potential headshots so don't come cryin' to me.
