Once when I was dead, I was speccing a Hanzo teammate while waiting to respawn. The Hanzo was less than 5m away from a mostly stationary enemy Mcree. Hanzo pulled out Storm Arrow and missed every single shot. Mcree flashbanged to FTH my Hanzo to end their suffering.
So in summary, yes
Baptiste dev Q&A from the official forums. Hack not stopping his jump is indeed a bug, and he should be released "within the next couple weeks."

Well I think we'll all be surprised if it's not next week - if anything will hold it back it's the number of balance tweaks that are coming with him.
Yup. Been playing mostly PTR because of all the changes. Live game is boring to me now.
Gimme dat new Sym beam and buffer Torb pls!
was worried but then
figured either this thurs or next, glad to have a confirmed date

does that include the latest ptr changes as well?
already did my placement on all 3 accounts. i guess i'll use main to test things out.
Faster movement while shooting I believe.
Edit: This was buggin' me. Here it is: https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/overwatch/t/overwatch-ptr-patch-notes-february-26-2019/308283
The current PTR is a list of changes spread across like a half-dozen tiny PTR patches. It's kind of annoying that there's not one master "this is what's currently different on PTR compared to live" list.

Meanwhile down here in plat I'm havin' QP fun on Ana and rackin' up endorsements on Sombra. Got back up to level 4 yusss.
Also I feel ya, I got my ass beat by a masters McCree main the other day. I like challenging myself with tough opponents but... it was like being expected to win a thumb wrestling match v. Edward Scissorhands. You're gonna' lose and it's gonna' hurt.
lmao I used to rank low Gold but then dropped to Silver and I'm at a point where I regularly play Golds so I get my ass handed to me but since we're fucking Silver, teamwork isn't good enough to let us be effective in teams, without being extremely good with our respective characters.
Or maybe I'm just shit
I hit master twice but only barely in like two seasons a while back and now regularly place right at diamond or right below. But I'm a flex player who plays MT and Support mainly. Just want ot mess around as dps in QP but there are way too many smurfs and gm players.
So are you hating on the team that's actually trying to have a semi-good game or the team that's actively throwing because 'It'S jUsT qP'? Not clear from your post.
Lost 1000 SR last night because I stuck with a team who had their heart in the right place but couldn't get their shit together. Nice bunch, though. Good times. :(
Edit: I lost over 100, not 1000, that's just silly.

I know, right? But someotimes "fun" outweighs "progress".
>_>
Edit: Actually, I meant 100. Twitchy fingers this morning -__-;
tbh 100SR lost is about my limit for where I leave the group. If that's four games that's the majority of my available time to play on a weeknight anyways.
An important aspect of QP is being able to enjoy it
-when someone +1000 SR over you is on the enemy team
-when your team goes 6 dps
-when they have Lucio+Brig and you've got a Zen
-when they have the luxury of a tank and you don't
-when you're just practicing a new hero and really can't be expected to perform very well
All of these are probably going to result in a loss - and here's the important thing to remember: that's okay.
I've gone back and watched some of my launch year Tracer clips - stuff I was very proud of at the time - and I was horrifyingly bad. Like I was costing my team wins, period.
So to offset that moral error, I'd play support for at least 50% of my games. My Year One Mercy was a gift to my teams - each game deposited capital in a bank of ethics - which I would withdraw and spend every time I practiced Tracer
And I still felt bad about it lol
Former. Every time in QP I legit don't have fun trying out DPS because of try hards. Am I supposed to fill in every game? Lol
Why I rather play FFA than QP.
I really don't get this train of thought, but you do you I guess.
which is why I prefer mystery heroes over qp to have fun. no stress about heroes picks.
It's rough, but playing new heroes V tryhards is the best way to learn 'em, imo. Sombra can kill 4 200hp heroes in one clip if they're making it easy, but that's not how things actually go down in the streets!
Well first of all MCD was explicitly complaining about tryhards in the bit I was responding to, not 2/2/2. (2/2/2 was above that.)
Second, I like to think anyone who's just earnestly trying to win the game is tryharding, regardless of their hero pick - as it should be.
And third, yeah, 2/2/2 is a fucking luxury. 2/2/2 is the towering, beautiful, perfect Big Mac in the ads - an ideal we were sold on - but when you open that box you'll almost-definitely discover a smushed, pathetic thing.
When you open the box, expect a McDouble and feel blessed if you actually got 2 pieces of beef.
To take this analogy to its natural destination - a perfect Big Mac is always the ambition, but it can't be expected or (worst case!) relied upon. So expect something a little less robust - be prepared for it - and count your lucky stars your team has enough of the Secret Sauce to make things tasty.
Oh shits. I just read a Wiki that says Lena Oxton's middle name is "Thousand Islands."
...seems a bit on the nose.
The problem I have with Mystery Heroes over QP is that often I get a hero I just can't play to save the life of me. I'm the absolute worst with Widow, Doomfist and Hammond, and I'm not likely going to get any better with them when the RNG keeps rolling them for me. I'd guesstimate that about 60-70% of my playtime in MH is those 3 + Hanzo lol.
Yeah I'm good.
I just enjoyed the big mac analogy too much.
TL DR don't expect much from qp or teammates and you can't be disappointed.
I'll die superquick on Doom, Hanzo and Genji still but I've definitely gotten a little better at all 3, and my Widow has graduated to "not unbelievably terrible" thanks entirely to MH.
