They'll probably nerf the tire's health a bit to make it easier to destroy.

Using the Riptire I've been able to dodge incoming fire and set it off several times already.

It already has 100 health, it's super weak, make it any weaker and a stiff breeze will kill it and it'll just be a useless ult
 
Lol, just played as Mercy and healed 8,870 points of damage with some thing like 37% of team damage healed and only got one like.
I was my only like vote, no wonder no one plays healer. It's a thankless job.
This fucking game right here.

Hmm, in my experience the healers get at least 2-3 commends. I make it a point to commend either them or the 'most objective time' players.

If you want thankless job try solo queue support in dota

.
 
I just figured out in the last match I played you can give commends. Was not so clear there. Feel like I am probably missing out on a hell of a lot more than just that as well.
 
I ain't even salty or anything, more like amused. I absloutely love playing as Mercy. A well timed heal or rez can easily sway the outcome of a game in the final seconds. Also, on a diffrent note anyone getting disconnected from the servers? It's happened like three times within a hour span.
 
I had a Zenyatta one earlier where I healed through a Hanzo ult
Ya I had one where I made 4 of my teammates on the point invincible while the rocket girl did her special and the bow dude used his special also and I kept the team alive the whole time. Got play of the game and it was incredible

Hanzo's ult feels really weak coming from a Splatoon where a literally better version of it is considered the worst super in the game.
 
Ok here goes, if someone in interested in a PS4 beta code msg me I'll give to the first one asking for it to enjoy!
If you receive a return message it will include the code.

EDIT: Code Taken
 
We were doing well then they hit us with the old double Reinhard + Mercy.
 
I love him. I was really hoping I would because the design is fantastic. So glad he's fun to play and can hold his own. I was worried he's just be a pure healer or support/buffer but I like his attack and his debuff and the heal you can set and forget.
Which isn't true anymore. If your targets gets "out of line of sight" for a few seconds the buff/debuff drops.

While I understand this change (Hi Tracer!) I think it made him a lot harder to play effectively. Compared to Lucio who is quite easy and still powerfull it does not feel right. And I don't think thats a huge problem. Not all heroes need the same skill floor. But my problem begins with the fact that since Symmetra is not a good solo support (and in pubs you RARELY have a second support) I end up with only 2 supports I can choose: Mercy and Lucio which can get a little bit stale after some time.

But who knows maybe I'm not as bad with him as I think. Maybe I only got bad rounds with him since that change.
 
They need to get rid of this match ending if too many people quit stuff, I don't care if it means my team is going to lose, let me get the experience.
 
Really enjoying the game on PC so far, bought it a while ago after playing in a Closed Beta fairly early on but feeling like this will be my go to shooter for a while.
 
OK, Bastion is OP as fuck on console. Literally NO time to react when he is a turret.

You're supposed to know where he's at and hit him with rockets/snipes/etc as you peek around corner -- he can't do anything about that. His design is sort of all or nothing.
 
Torbjorn's turret seems crazy broken. Does shit tons of damage, automatically aims at anything capable of being shot, lots of health, lasts forever. It nearly killed me from across the map instantly just running by a doorway as Tracer. Way too much for a zero skill power.

the instant tracking is the problem, even at the huge range.
 
Do enemies take reduced damage when you freeze them as Mei or something? They seem really hard to kill once actually frozen in place.
 
for some reason, it seems whenever I win games, im always booted out to a lobby to find another team...but when i lose. they keep me with the same team to lose over and over...lol
 
I believe Mei does reduced damage if you don't hit the head. Not too confident on that answer though.

Someone else's suggestion of using the icicle shot to the head while they were frozen works well, I'm just sometimes too scrubby and want to keep holding down the short range attack.

Will have to learn ;_;

dwarf counters tracer. dealwitit or get another teammate to kill the turret for you. it is extremely vulnerable to focus fire and a dwarf cannot heal through it being poked out unless he's in ulti form
