Figured there would be a community thread for this game. Just got this from a single crate. Never knew getting that many legendaries in one was even possible. Shame one is just currency though

I talked shit about the McCree skin (worst one in the game for me) and the game decided to reward me with that same skin. Fuck off
Nah Wraxu is too nonchalant to not be more impressive. He almost sounds bored with how well hits the shots lol

Holy shit, Deathmatch sounds like a mess, but since you get credit for the win if you place in the top half of players, I'm gonna play all of this.
New Stage: Widowmaker's Estate (pre-blue sniper lady)

It was overdue tbf. An abundance of crap and dups up until this recent update.
Yeah, I feel he's quite weak and slow. Should take 2 hits instead of 3 to take out Phariah with him as well I feel. Or even bumping her down to 150 health. Either would be nice.
lol they actually did the moving damage reduction healing buff for hog

That Junkrat tire buff is gonna claim a lot of victims on console, people are already pretty bad at destroying it.
Orisa buffs are pretty good.
Dude is so calm lol

Widow buff means nothing for console players but I imagine it's not the same for the PC playerbase, by a longshot.
I've seen some streams of Kephrii, Taimou, Calvin, Surefour, etc. and something like this will be put to good use.

Thoughts on updates
Junkrat - HIS GENIUS WILL FINALLY BE RECOGNIZED!
Orisa - The speed to the projectiles is exactly what she needs. Playing her felt frustrating because the timelapse made it seem like she always seemed to fire where the enemy was a second ago and made her shots easy to dodge. That Barrier change is fantastic too. Reinhardt watch out, you might be out of a job soon (lol)
Roadhog - I still think the guy isn't gonna work until you bring back his old damage. It's just so weird to not score hits that are guaranteed kills anymore.
Widowmaker - Wow, they finally implemented the obvious QoL changes that should have been there since over a year ago! ...Sorry, but I'm just really frustrated at how they are handling Widowmaker and they still do not address the fundamental issue of Console v PC aiming that affects her way more than it ever did Torb.
Deathmatch - I don't suppose they'd be willing to make adjustments to heroes since not everyone has equal kill potential...which was fine since the games revolved around an objective, but it's not gonna be hard to see that the offensive classes are going to have a major advantage here over anyone else.

Maybe all the instalock shit dps will play death match when it goes live on console. Is it an arcade mode?

Not a chance
With regards to Roadhog:
This is beyond disappointing. What's the point of "being able to play more aggressive" when you have a confetti shooter for a gun?
What am I going to do? Aggressively charge the enemy teams ult now instead of passively doing so?

If both are placed the last one you placed will go boom and the other one will disappear. I just checked it out on PTR.
Okay, so Junk can hold 2 mines at once, but he can only have 1 placed at a time. That's still a really good buff, and it's gonna do alot not just for his maneuverability but being able to do damage as well. A mine does 120 damage. Throw out 2 one after another and can do 240 damage to a hero pretty quick.
Can you get a picture of Orisa's new barrier? I'm curious to see how much larger that thing is too.
widow is bullshit regardless of platform honestly. Either people have evolved or use m/kb
Widow/Junk cancer meta inbound
I wouldn't have a problem with it if they would give Roadhog a complete overhaul to make him more of an Anchor Tank. As of now, he's useless as a Zoning Tank, or much of else, really.
Exactly. Really pathetic from Blizzard.
Again, they have the philosophy of "let the meta play out" with some heroes, but not others.
They made hooking harder and harder and harder, so that when you DO hook someone, you are rewarded for it.
Now, hooking is harder than ever, and you still cant get kills.
So I ask, what is the point of playing the hero when you can easily play someone else who hasnt been completely ruined? Spoiler, there isnt one.

So, the Mercy rework is true or just rumors?
I was literally thinking about that widow mine thing a few weeks ago. Pay me jeff. Also lmao at hog being gone and junkrat of all people getting even more wiggle room. I might be done playing tanks brehs.
ALSO YALL THOUGHT S KOREA WAS JOKING ABOUT THAT JUNKRAT THEY RAN BEFORE

Surefour and Xqc duo are playing against a 6-stack with a hacker.
This should be fun.

Shit, I forgot all about that.
Yeah, where's that Mercy nerf, Jeff?
How long must we burn ourselves upon the Golden Queen's necromantic army?

Hey, LiK- can Junkrat use triple-jump and get from spawn to the first point on Eichenwalde Attack? Seems like it would be close, at least.

Ma boi junkrat is back! Gonna start playing him again in competitive.
Isn't ult charge based on damage done? If it reduces damage done to him, it's impossible for it to result in more charge.
Yes, I just tested it.

However, it's a high risk, high reward sort of thing.
1. You're very likely to fail. Junkrat's conclusion mines can be really finicky with the physics, as you can see.
2. Even if you make it, you're not gonna have your mines with you.
So if you're gonna go for it, you better be careful.
My jumping mine skills are limited. I'm usually on the ground more so I'm not one to ask. But this buff will make me more mobile tho.
Been really finding it hard to judge the use of Doomfist. I've been playing him a bit in competitive now. Starting out I flat out sucked, but I'm getting the hang of it. Playing other DPS characters it's easy to see if you pull your weight. You just see if you're getting the medals. But playing Doomfist I'm noticing it's hard to get the 'important' dps medals. I mean, your not doing a bunch of ranged damage to enemies to get the assist elims along side your actual kills. What I did notice is that playing Doomfist, I'm getting huge amounts of final blows. AKA getting important picks.
So I'm kind of thinking about whats more beneficial to the team. More spread out DPS, hitting a bit of everyone or a pinpoint pick machine. Doing massive burst damage in short amounts. What do you guys think?

I guess I just don't get the issues people have with Doomfist. His whole character feeds harder than any other hero in the game, he's so easy to fuck as soon as he goes in with his giant hitbox and predictable cooldowns. He pretty much does well when hes on a team that's already winning so he snowballs but I don't see him getting clean picks without almost always throwing his own life away in an even fight.
Oh I didn't know that. Still, he will heal more and then just come back to feed more ult charge? I haven't played enough Roadhog to think he's very good, but this won't fix him.
