AWKWARD ZOMBIE

I'm fine with it. It means I can actually play Junkrat, Roadhog, D.va, etc. occasionally instead of having to heal 75% of the time.

Not gonna lie, he's been one of my faves since the start.

I tend to play him as more of an offensive character than anything else though, so the shield boost is a blessing. Not much lives against a discord and a few shots.

Zen's my favourite as well but I don't play him as often as I'd like. Once he gets buffed, it'll be Zen all the time. I'm also looking forward to his orbs being faster, it makes healing multiple people that much better

PATCH HIT LIVE BOYS

Ana's here, Zenyatta and D.va buffed. I can finally go back to playing Zenny and getting MVP cards every 3 games.

Hopefully they push it out to console soon, I want to play some Combat Granny

Wasteland skin for Ana is the best, Mad Max Granny hits the road.

I'm not particularly good at sniper though, so I'll wait until people calm down on using her.

Zen's a much better healer now, so I'm stoked about him. I still can't aim McCree's revolver but he's better.

I've never seen much hero stacking on Overwatch.
Since they removed the ability to have more than 1 of each hero from competitive I had a ton of matches where one team just went 6 times the same character or attempting to on quickplay. This isn't fun.

Ana is out on consoles but apparently the patch completely borked the Xbone version. That's a shame, I wanted to play her really bad. Guess I'll have to wait a day or two while they code patches at a breakneck speed to cover up their screw up.

edit: nvm they fixed it good job code monkeys

Anyone else feeling like D.Va's buff was maybe a little too good?

I like the defense matrix re-working, but her new Ult abilities seem to be a bit much.

It seems like I'm seeing her in every game I play now, and I'm having a darn difficult time avoiding her "Nerf This!".

Either lower the explosion countdown, or let her stay in the blast radius, not both. It's too easy to launch it off and catch a whole team before anyone can run behind a wall.

By contrast Junkrat's can be just as powerful, but it can be shot down very easily if not positioned correctly. D.Va can just run onto a point and detonate with little repercussion.


Like I said though, I do like her new benefits as a Tank, and I love how much damage she can mitigate now, but I'm just a little irked with how powerful her ult is now.

Eh, if your team has an aware Reinhardt, he can contain the explosion completely by himself.

Besides, I'm still having trouble efficiently going in and doing damage with her.

On that topic, does Rein's shield block it in a cone, or only directly behind him? Like, if rein is right on top of it and a person was kinda far behind him and to the side, would it block the damage?

Shitty MSpaint because I feel like I did a bad job explaining what I meant.

I think it properly calculates the blocked area.

i turned 19 on the 26th, last night i drank a bit and got tipsy

i'm the BEST ZENYATTA

So there's a Summer Games update! Hurray! New pretty fun brawl and lots of new skins and voice lines! Hurray!

What's that? We won't be able to buy the new cosmetics with the Credits we've saved up and have to rely on RNG Loot Boxes that ALSO have a chance to contain duplicate items AND non-Summer Games Items, that are also only available for a limited time? Why ain't that just- fucking awful what the fuck Blizzard. If you want Summer Games legendary skins you either need to shell upwards of 150 dollarydoos or play 24/7, all for the CHANCE to get the items you want. Or be really lucky. Either way it's really shitty and reeks of nickels and dimes.

It goes 3 weeks, that should be enough to get plenty of things and legendaries should be really rare, what's the fun if everyone playing got the limited time only legendary skins?
