I just snuck up on a widowmaker with Junkrat, detonated a mine and killed her midair with a grenade while we were both airborne from the blast. That shit felt so awesome.
Because of bullets? People shoot at the flag carrier a lot, because you automatically know where they are. It can be nice to be a character who doesn't die immediately when that happens.
I need to figure out Symmetra, aside from the occasional decent game, I seem so ineffective with her. Turrets are impossible to keep up with if a couple people focus them down constantly, getting close to use her primary feels like its pointless in most cases so I'm standing back throwing charged right clicks at people.
I like playing her in those games where things go well because not only to you feel useful through takedowns but your team is getting back in to the fight super fast. I just end up feeling completely useless on her most games.

Yea but she can only blink 3 times if you use it in succession and there's a pretty decent cooldown on that. She is also not that fast without blink. A Tracer player who is running for base will either wait until she has 2 or more blinks charged before she goes again leaving a lot of time for her to get hit, or she can blink as soon as she gets a charge meaning she has shorter wait times but a lot more intervals..again making her an easy target.
By contrast Scout's base movement speed itself is faster than anyone in Overwatch including Tracer, but more importantly the delta between him and other characters in TF2 is higher than the delta between Tracer and others in Overwatch. This isn't even considering the fact that Scout can double jump allowing him to get to higher elevation while Tracer has piss poor mobility.
Just because she has a blink ability won't really make her perfect and OP for CTF mode because in all honesty if you play Tracer a lot you'll realise why she wouldn't be as amazing at CTF as most think because her blink is balanced for something entirely different. You could also do something where using recall means she drops the flag at the place where she uses recall since it is not a part of her and as such it is outside the reigns of her time powers.

I supposed Recall would mean she would put the flag back and not carry it with her?

Just got D.Va Legendary Skin. This is the best skin for her by a long long margin
Yuuuup! I'm saving my coins for that one. So far the only good skins I got were a purple Mercy skin and her Imp skin. But I hate playing as Mercy :/

I'm thinking more like if you have the flag your L1/R1 abilities (or PC/XB equivalents) would be disabled until you dropped the flag.
You could do that too yea.
Tons of characters would be brutal in CTF.
Tracer is obvious.
Winston would also be incredibly good. Grab the flag, leap out, drop a shield. Your leap is back in a few seconds.
Pharrah would be incredibly mobile and not many individuals can stop her.
A good Junkrat can fling himself across the map.
Etc.
I dunno. I love CTF though so it'd be interesting to see them try

Best to think of them like shotguns. Put up the shield, fly to the opponent's face, blast them away.
I don't agree. I love her weird shiny Junebug skin the most.
There are penalties if you drop? What if you're invited to group up while in the middle of a match and you accept?
Yes, the spread is large and so is the falloff.
She's a brawler more than a bullet sponge.
looks great, congrats
There's probably somebody out there that's godlike with her weird lazer gun, but as someone who isn't, I strictly only use her in maps where there's a really long run between spawn and a defense point. Specifically defending Hanamura, Anubis and Volskaya, but only on point A. After we lose A and fall back to B I switch to Mercy.
She seems like the most situational hero in the game.

You'd probably see plenty of all Bastion teams camping the flag, depending on the map design.
Get in their face, but don't overextend. Use her shields and boost to jump into them, forcing them to divide your attention between you and the rest of you team.
In general, though, please do not overextend.

Think of D.Va's gun as an automatic shotgun. Eight hitscan pellets per shot, rapid fire, heavy falloff with distance combined with hitting with less pellets, no reload.
In close, if you're landing all the pellets, she does excellent DPS (7 shots per second, 8 pellets per shot, 3 damage per pellet = 168 DPS, comparable to Soldier's 170 DPS but actually higher because of no reloading). At range, when you don't hit with all the pellets and the falloff goes from 3 to 0.5, she does significantly less damage. But since it's a shotgun and you don't have to reload, if you can see an enemy and you don't need to be moving, you can always just hose them down at range and at least get some minor damage in. Especially on low health enemies trying to disengage, D.Va can often clean them up at range.
wow lol

One Mei is fine, but having to fight 2 on a control map is hell.
The theory of relativity usually encompasses two theories by Albert Einstein: special relativity and general relativity.[1] Concepts introduced by the theories of relativity include spacetime as a unified entity of space and time, relativity of simultaneity, kinematic and gravitational time dilation, and length contraction.
The term "theory of relativity" was based on the expression "relative theory" (German: Relativtheorie) used in 1906 by Max Planck, who emphasized how the theory uses the principle of relativity. In the discussion section of the same paper, Alfred Bucherer used for the first time the expression "theory of relativity" (German: Relativitätstheorie).[2][3]

some of us are at work man
Not sure if this was posted but hilarious none the less. https://youtu.be/Aqksc8F-kEo
okay
CTF is a pretty bad mode anyway. At least it was rubbish in TF2. I'm scarred by 2fort.
But yeah, there's a bunch of characters that just wouldn't work in the mode. Multiple tracers could chain their recalls or the character becomes useless if recall drops the flag. Bastions and Tjorborn guarding would be very grinding and boring. I'm glad the mode isn't available especially since Blizzard doesn't give us any control over what maps or mode we play game to game.

I got this one out of my second loot box. She is pretty much the only character I don't play, but I do like the skin.
Not really, in most popular MP games the one super balanced game mode/map eclipses all other. It's the heroes, their balance and new heroes that keep the game fresh. And of course new maps.

Some of the characters don't even "reload". They just rewind a switch or something and it magically has full clips.

Yeah, make the flag get dropped on blink or certain movement abilities for balance. That way a tracer under fire can blink away to saftey or to counter attack their attacker and then pick it back up if they win, or blink and drop it and have another member carry it while the tracer then harasses.
Wow. I'm a complete moron. As soon as I read these responses I knew exactly what you were talking about. I guess I get so mixed up in the action I wasn't paying attention when it was above 0.
Almost certainly* nothing but randomness. Any pattern will just be discovered and shared by players.
* The one exception is that I wouldn't be surprised if they upped your chance to get a legendary slightly as you opened more and more boxes without receiving one. Probability smoothing is something Blizzard has a lot of practice with from making sure people get enough bear asses.

I'd try Tracer more if I got that costume.
lvl 20 here and nothing but a few emotes and poses
I was thinking that, but then I thought about something like League where it's the same map and gametype over and over but there's a enough champion diversity to accomplish the same goal in many different ways.
Then again it's three lanes and a jungle vs one and the game has been out for way longer.
