Sym is super weak even without dive meta dominating. If anything they'll probably look to buff her soon.

Had a game yesterday where our Ana slept the enemy Ana, so I charged up three orbs as Zen and aimed at her head, oh bodyshots... Hitboxes are broken in this game.

Ana hitbox is just wonky in general. Even before nerf and hook changes, Hog had a hard time getting one shots on her.

If Symmetra gets buffed I quit this game forever. She does not need a buff.

The lock on ability of her main and it seems to be forgiving when u turn corners

Tethering is kind of stupid with her weapon, but the damage on her gun is fine. Zen and Lucio can kill you much quicker if they got good aim. Zen can two shot discord you with headshots if you have 200HP.

Symm doesn't have much going on if she got nerfed. She's fine where she is now. The problem is her small hitbox makes here very tough to kill in team fights.
 
I'm still 'preparing' on ps4 but I'm guessin it's the loot box change and I hope for custom reticle as well.

Fucking lulz...162mb patch but I needed over 35gb free space, well done Sony, well done.

Went up 71 SR yesterday only to lose 50 when my internet dropped. Spent two hours trying to get back that 50 only to end up -1 SR from the original rating I started at. Fucking unbelievable and of course I get matched with the same shit tier attitude players and I flex from healer to tank only to eat a fat fucking L anyway because of this shitlord community. 3 DPS and none of them kill a goddamn thing, g fucking g blizzard.

Yup. Fucking trash games. I don't know why I decided to play after work yesterday -- the combination of dinner time on the west coast + late night kids who don't have school for the summer makes it absolutely fucking insufferable. This is truly the darkest fucking timeline.

After taking a break from this game, i decided to play some high elo qp matches.

Died 2 times to random scatter arrows bouncing off of teammates, a random junkrat trap mid-dash in mid air, another random junkrat bomb that ricochet off of a wall accidentally hitting me, a random hanzo headshot and a random torbjorn headshot. All of that while having a widow in the far back just spamming shots till she hit her headshots.

Looking back, seeing how roadhog took a year and a half just to be fixed, and seeing doomfist coming in, with even more one shots I figure this game isn't worth anymore. The roster is still too small, the majority of the maps are just bad with 2-3 exceptions at best, deathpits are still everywhere and the modes are tolerable at best, otherwise trash.

This game's progress will be slow as fuck, with Blizzard listening to the "majority" of the players, who are trash at the game, all the while knowing that the changes they demand are complete nonesense and waste their time trying to find ways to make them happy. Playing other competitive games like league of legends and cs go just highlighted all of these issues, issues that should have been solved long ago.

Maybe this game would be worth coming back to some years after. Maybe never. That is just my 2 cents. Have fun everyone.

Sym is only really an extreme threat if your team doesn't work together while the opposing team does. Otherwise, she can definitely be a threat but more than handle-able.

The main thing you need to understand is that Symmetra is more of a ninja than Genji is. She hides and strikes when characters can't see her coming because that's the only way to charge up her gun. Once she does do that, she can take out half the team, sure, but that's why she is a priority target. Without it, she's an easy pick.

I personally see no reason for her to get nerfed.

I've yet to have a good match on Lunar Colony in competitive. It seems like a good map but every match I've had on it has been awful.

Need to be super aggressive as Attack to win. If you don't charge right in as a team, it's a loss. I have never been successful with a team that dawdles at choke or wastes time trying to be strategic.

As Defense, you better have a Symm and Torb combo. They're the best heroes for that map unless the enemy team is super coordinated. I will always instapick Symm cuz I do real well with her there.

Any groups of players playing on PC willing to help a newer player to overwatch get better? I've been playing for about a month, mostly solo. I'm lvl 44 and currently just below 1700 SR in competitive. I have not had good luck in competitive, the teams have been fairly toxic for over half of my matches and it's starting to not be fun anymore. I've had more enjoyment out of QP and 3vs3/6vs6 elimination than competition at this point. Thanks!

I mostly play in the evenings/late at night due to my job and family. Feel free to add me Doorakz#1519
Check the disord in the first post. Most pc players are there.

I've had some really fun matches there. I think I'm in the minority of people who really like the map. Defending the second point is crazy.

I have no idea how to properly Defend on the second point because every match I've had the second point has always ended up an all-out brawl with everyone on the point. There's never been any set-up time. I don't even know what's on the right side of the point honestly.

Damn...was hoping the latest patch included that loot box fix. I have 29 loot boxes I haven't opened and the temptation is almost too much to bear.
 
I just played one of my first competitive matches and we ran out of time before hitting the first point and then the enemy ran out of time before hitting the first point yet they got a 1 point and won? I dont get it.

They reached the point where you guys got the payload in overtime I assume.

How do some ppl charge ult so fast

Mercy had like 2 super fast revives

You're doing damage to the enemy team but never following up on kills, so you're just feeding Mercy's ult. You're doing damage to enemy heroes that are tethered to Mercy's heal beam instead of going after Mercy.

is it escort or 2cp? on escort they have to go a little further on the furthest you guys went. on 2cp. if you didn't get a tick they just have to get a tick to get a point.

enemy Zarya and Hanzo ult together and kill four of us with no one else on point. Despite this Lucio, Pharah, and Reaper all ult for some reason. Our Bastion sneaks onto the point kills two allowing us to slowly kill them off the point. We held them for 9 minutes after getting steamrolled first point. All of this happened within the last 20 percent of Anubis Point B. Sometimes QP is alright.

While 2.15 update was updating, electricity went off.

Now the download restarted updating, but it shows 22.5 Gigs. Did I lose every patch I downloaded to the electricity problem?
 
Doomfist + event should probably be next week

Event was in August last year. My guess is Doomfist the last week of July to give him two weeks of cooking in the PTR, then second week of August = Summer Games. Would be similar to how they did Ana/Summer Games last year.

Wanted to play a quick game before bed. Updates on the PS4 are the worst. Why does it have to take AGES for the download to prepare? PS4 isn't really known for the fasted downloads but preparing the download takes even longer ffs.

Edit: Preparing the download took around 5-10 min. Actually downloading the patch was literary 5 seconds.

There's another long narrow room on the far right with a large health pack in it.

If I'm playing Soldier I like to settle in that back right corner, you can see where all the enemies are attacking from before they can engage you and have the health pack there and spots to hide from ults.

If I'm playing Rein I like to either engage on the top left platform or stay bottom right if I have someone to take advantage of my shield.

If your team overextends at all on the second point the match could be over very quickly because of how long it takes to get back to the action, it takes like 4 seconds to even reach Sym's teleporter from spawn.

You have to let the opposing team push the engagement and be well coordinated as a team. Grouping everyone up on the actual point is a recipe for disaster. That applies for all the 2 cap maps but the point on Horizon is such a large space it really benefits your team to spread out.
 
I think my daughter will like this.
