Look if we're gonna complain specifically about console attack characters I still say Genji is that motherfucker.

 

[Blues1990]

Zen's orbs should be 100% bigger.

The stun buff is next to nothing honestly. The ult buff is p nice though. The fact Doomfist is checking the enemy D.Va is absolutely massive for him. D.Va is the main thing keeping him shut down right now.

Yea, his stun isn't a huge buff but it def made McCrees come back more often. I assume any buff is better than nothing for them at least. I'm glad they didn't make him any stronger.

 

[TheThinWhiteDuke]

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOA

This is....well, I'll have to test it out to see.

However, nerfing D.Va's DM like this means that she isn't going to be nearly as useful in countering any long lasting ults. Soldier 76, Reaper, Roadhog, etc, they're all about to get a new free reign on the world

On the other hand, this rocket ability intrigues me. Me and...I think ThinWhiteDuke were just talking about a more aggressive D.Va last week. Well, now we got her. It all depends on how powerful this new minirocket ability is.

What a nice little killer rabbit she should be.

Yep, this is going to be fun as hell. Bye, Pharah. Bye, Widow. Bye, Hanjo. Back-line peeling and aggro sniper/floater demolition, here I come.

 

[Tyrant Rave]

Would this mean D.Va can't shoot to stop her trajectory now?

Yeah, just quick melee instead. That stops it.

 

[TheThinWhiteDuke]

I wouldn't mind her shooting lasers next.

Oooh, yah. Our first emote-based ability. Dance Party, when triggered, shoots lasers out in a 360 degree radius. One Hit Kill, of course. And then everyone gets ice cream.

 

[Terareflection]

Hanzo I think pretty underrated since scatter is cheap AF. Granted that could be my wraxu bias coming out.

 

[Jellie]

Maybe, but how long before Winston goes too?

Well it's kinda what he does. Contest high ground, kill squeeshies. Even if he falls out of meta that job should still be doable. See a soldier uncontested on the high ground? Swap to something that can contest him.

Guy just got mad at another guy for "stealing" his hanzo potg and left our random group lol

 

[TheThinWhiteDuke]

*here is my recollection of how this game is from my pov*

YOU FUCKING ELITIST HOW DARE YOU LOOK DOWN AT ME

Yup, Anne isn't a PC elitist, she's a GM. Shit is different there, and making Soldier reload one more time before he kills you is a pretty big deal up there. And Anne has always stated that nothing he posts applies to lower levels/ console, necessarily.

 

[LiK]

Well, that's a first.

 

[TheThinWhiteDuke]

Damage is kinda shitty though if she has healing, if we can just fire rockets in her face it would make the job easier.

Flying into the Mercy first, shotguns blazing, should do the trick. Just takes two trips instead of one.

She posts* Anne is my real first name :3

The amount of kills dropped by 1 extra Soldier bullet is actually really hard to deal with sometimes orz.

Dat reload when I get a Pharah to a sliver of life and she gets healed by Mercy. *screams internally*

Is this the short they're premiering Wednesday? Really disappointing compared to the others

 

[TheThinWhiteDuke]

Can we get some Zen buffs

Manhole-sized hitboxes for his orbs.

Okay, just kidding. But shit, how about any kind of escape ability? Anything will do. I hate being the only non-BabyDVa certain death with Roadhog's hook.

 

[Jellie]

No thats on Wednesday. This is just a preview of the map which will be fully revealed on Wednesday too.

 

[TheThinWhiteDuke]

Zen got some great buffs not too long ago. The spread one was really good.

Oh man, that spread buff. So many alt-fire volleys since then, when I almost never used it before. Zen is pretty snipe-tastic these days, now that I think about it.

 

[Veelk]

I'm honestly curious to hear how much damage this mini slavo D.va does can do. I'm hoping it's like a mini pharah ult.

I always thought it was a bit weird that her giant mech only had one type of firing capacity. If I was a pro-gamer-gone-super-soldier-with-a-giant-exploding-mech, I would line that shit up with more artillery than Iron Man.

 

[LiK]

I can snipe Widow and Hanzo from across the map with him. It's fantastic. Zen is awesome now.

Honestly there are waaaay too many "simply press button and look at enemy" ult eating moves in this.

Sorry about that. LiK's avatar has my gender identification protocols all out of whack. Or I'm an idiot. Hard to tell for sure which is the case, but it's probably LiK's fault somehow.

You said she in your post though? "She's GM".

I've been peeking through the statue's arms on King's Row A, and sniping the inevitable Hanzo and/or Widow standing at the top gate of spawn. Obviously it only works once, but it's a pretty satisfying once.

[TheThinWhiteDuke]

I did, and I use the correct pronoun usually, but it really is a "LiK is male LiK is male LiK is male" thing that goes through my mind, and transfers to other people with female avatars sometimes.

As I said, I'm an idiot.

 

[TheThinWhiteDuke]

Hush, you! Or it's back to your charging crate.

sty said the new map preview is going up tomorrow. can't wait.

 

[TWrecks310]

First six players for the Seoul Overwatch League spot are now officially unveiled. We have:

Miro - Tank
Zunba - Tank
Esca - DPS
Gido - DPS
Ryujehong - Support
Tobi - Support

Basically the current starting lineup for Lunatic Hai, currently the best team in the world.

 

[Filben]

What do I do against Orisa-Bastion combination (at Hollywood on the elevator platform)? I literally do not know how to counter that. As soon as Orisas shields are down, I can do like one second damage to Bastion who then heals himself.

Any advice?

 

[Anne]

I just noticed the use of 2 diff pronouns in the same post lmao the realest mix up

D.Va defense matrix and then ignore them completely

I've witnessed the total eclipse which has unlocked my inner Overwatch power - I shall return even stronger than before!

 

[R0ckman]

His Ult and stun buffs combined def brought back a lot of McCree mains from the games I played in. I actually hate good McCrees way more than any other DPS right now.

Ah, McCree is satisfying if your are good at aiming but he depends a great deal on his team for almost everything, including taking advantage of his plays. I can see this in high level play too.

I was playing casually in a match and had killed 4 players in a capture the point in under about 30 seconds. I'm not sure what my team was doing (whatever they were doing ended up with me having about 50% kill participation) but by the time I realized my team was not with me capturing the point, I dropped dead by 2 fresh enemy players coming out of spawn.

He's basically like the janitor of the team who also gets rid of the annoying flies. Depending on who you are you don't want him targetting you from his back lines in a mid range team scuffle and you dont want to 1 vs 1 him. You always need a buddy with you when you fight him. Even the good ones have trouble getting double teamed.

 

[ivanthebearable]

Wonder when they'll get around to fixing Symmetra's Photon Shield cooldown counter bug. Hopefully this patch they pick up on it.

And make her Ult visible through walls like Sombra's health packs too for that matter

 

[DR2K]

Hopefully Winston shield gets tossed in the trash as well

 

[THe_DeiCiDe]

The stun buff is next to nothing honestly. The ult buff is p nice though. The fact Doomfist is checking the enemy D.Va is absolutely massive for him. D.Va is the main thing keeping him shut down right now.

The stun buff was great for console. Stopping Tracers and Genjis in their tracks for a much easier headshot was big.

I seem to recall you saying that you were concerned/annoyed with McCree's stun buff and what it meant for player skill.

Miro - Tank
Zunba - Tank
Esca - DPS
Gido - DPS
Ryujehong - Support

Well there goes the rest of the league

Not sure why its something to complain about, if you use a stun move that can't stop inertia, that defeats the purpose of the stun move. The original move had points where it was worthless in doing what it was intended to do.

 

[Kor of Memory]

Played 2 matches over lunch today. Ended up at 3484 SR. 1 Win away from Master, which is also my season high.

Now, will the Gods (Read: Geoff) bless me for the final week, or shall the false god (Dinoflask) deem me unworthy instead.

 

[JayCB]

Eurgh, that DM nerf is gross as hell if they leave the recharge time as it is.

 

[Talonz]

is pharah useful without mercy tho

A good Pharah can take over a map especially at the ranks of gold and under. This D'Va change is pretty welcome if there is another counter to her.

 

[Incendiary]

So now people are gonna play DVa more when we needed her in our stack? lol.

I play DVa a lot in comp.
