Maybe Pharah should have 150 health.
I love it, what a difference this patch made. I enjoyed Zen before, but I was fragging out last night with him, especially when our DPS was not getting the job done.
Isn't comp swell :]

It feels like they've changed the skybox ceiling on Anubis. Pharah hits it constantly now.

I'm amazed that the ability to import your own footage came to ShareFactory before an Overwatch theme did.
Thankfully we can make our own themes now.
when you can't afford video editing software but have a ps4. thank you sony for the feature in sharefactory lol.

As Sartre noted in his contemplation on Hell in No Exit, the true horror is other members.
I could export and edit, for sure. I dunno, it was fun to figure out how to use it. Two video tracks with audio and a music track, not including titling, some limited time stretch. My biggest bummer has been hitting the clip limit.
Can't make a custom open without a PC so this adds little for people who mostly have a phone and a PS4. Might tempt people who are exporting to just do the quick edit on the PS4 tho.

Just the recovery time. It was great before, now it's really a lot quicker.
The primary fire change is the bigger buff, the alt fire change is just a short recovery time decrease.
Pharah is already very, very fragile. I don't know that she needs any changes, really. She's hardly dominant in evenly-matched games.
I always expect her rockets to function more like Quake rockets, however, and I kind of wish they did: Less direct damage, more splash damage, more predictable (and higher) bounces.
Oooh okay. Didn't realize there was a bit of a spread for the primary fire heh.
It was a small spread, but just enough to be annoying.
I was playing mostly Tracer on my smurf account that I made. It's honestly really easy to carry as Tracer diamond rank and below as long as you can stay alive and pick off the healers every fight. I already got my smurf to 3950 in just a few days of playing Tracer and Soldier 76 mainly. I think Tracer and Roadhog are the best heroes to carry at lower ranks.
On a side note, it's crazy how people spend $100+ to have someone boost their account into masters. I thought it was just a running joke, I didn't know people actually did it. I don't see the point of boosting an account to a certain rank when that person will just fall out since they couldn't even get there on their own.
Been playing Tracer in QP a bit but bit inconsistant. Pretty hard since QP is usually a cesspit of torb, hanzo and widow so random shit always hits me/one shots me.
They probably think they belong in Master and are just stuck because of bad teammates and will be able to stay there. They don't.
I don't get that at all. Wasting money so people think they're a god at the game when they're actually shit? I mean, it's just a game. Pretty crazy people spend any money to boost. I guess they really are delusional and want people to think they're good.

It's our nightly mantra.
Well, they want lootboxes. Don't they get them from leveling up there?
Zarya is up there for carrying too. She covers poor positioning along with having such a high impact ult. Not pick heavy like those two though.
The biggest change I've gone through since season 1 was to stop idling on the screen and try to fill roles, being aggressive and just picking someone is hugely beneficial. I was basically always stuck on Lucio otherwise and that is a good way to hate life.

I had such good games yesterday.
I always play with randoms, and you sometimes get little groups of people that you get matched with that communicate via party chat. But yesterday there was this other lonely random guy who really excelled in communication.
He was so clear in what he was saying that it give me an exact picture of how the battlefield looked like at all moments. It was an easy 3-0 win and I dedicated it all to him.
Wonder why he was in the 2600's.

Probably doesn't play much or is at the mercy of solo queue loss streaks.
Unrelated: I've been bumping up my sensitivity and its really hard to get adjusted to on soldier. I was a surgeon with helix rockets before I bumped it and I've dropped about 10% +/- accuracy per game.
I think it's likely that the majority of players who get boosted to Masters will just fall right out but I also think it's fallacious to say that the skills needed to stay in Masters are the same as the skills needed to get to Masters.

God, I was so bad at Overwatch last night. Luckily it was only QP, but that was honestly the worst three-game stretch I've ever seen. Partly caused by everyone trying out Orisa and the buffed heroes, but wow. At the end of the third game I hit Exit to Desktop right from the Defeat screen.

Quickplay has just been barriers all day lately for me lol. I like having Orisa on my team but I'm not sure about how she adds to the game as a whole and I don't like playing her much.

How every single QP game has gone for me:
Quick play game starts... someone insta-locks Orisa... 2-3 people instantly leave my team because they can't have their way.
Ugh...

This is basically Ana and Sombra for the first few weeks of release. Don't worry, the novelty will go away soon.

Also Eevee got to Masters quicker than I could even get out of plat. Feels Bad.

The CP, bro. Say you're gold-rank player (and aren't climbing out). At end of season, you're getting 400 CP. But, if you hit masters, regardless of whether or not you drop out, now you get 2000. That's a difference of 160 won Overwatch games and, assuming a ~50% rate - probably what you have at medium ranks - 320 competitive games. If you really care about virtual hats and have a ton of money to blow, that looks like a pretty solid shortcut to get what you want.
the reason i dont recommend tracer was that she require a bit more skilled to play and shes more susceptible to random crossfire due to: being on ground, lower health and usually need to be in somewhat close quarter to be effective in dmg dealing. in otherword the potential passive Survivability. It just my general observation that people dont look up the sky and take care of pharah more than just shooting whats in ground in front of their screen.
There's more justification for genji to have 150 before pharah does

I thought late night comp was suppose to be good. Dropped to 2988 last night, lol.

It seems that the new character can't deal with Pharah too well. Or people just suck. Maybe both.

as of 3/21/2017, orisa. *wait nvm not in comp yet
Orisa and Zarya bubble are probably your best bets.
But like Mercy, you really want to focus Mei dead before you go into overtime.
