Yeah, a shittier Sonic Arrow with, still, less damage and zero team utility. Way to think outside the box, Blizz.
On another note, this is nice to see from the company that just released the Widow in a Bikini skin.
That's awesome.
nvm I see what you were saying

Really love Master rank logic sometimes.
"Enemy team running a PharMercy thats constantly wrecking our tanks? Lets run Junkrat and Genji."
"Both of our tanks get pissed off and swap to McCree/Soldier? Lets call them throwers and refuse to swap roles"
Barely won a Liijang by the skin of our teeth because of dumbassery

Widow's grapple is a great ability for repositioning.
The way you play against a Widow is to dive her when right after she uses her grapple. If that time period is 33% less than before, it's a big deal. The game might be less about diving her in that time period and more about hiding behind shields to minimize her effectiveness. I don't think the latter scenario is very fun.
If it works, Widow has a shot at survivability, but in my experience, even if they have grapple, it's usually not a strong escape ability since you have to aim it before you go anywhere, wait for it to actually hook itself, and Widowmaker then travels in a predictable path away.
I feel it's a weak manuever ability in comparison to the likes of dash and winston's rocket jump (which is instantaneous) or D.Va's rocket boosters (which are controllable).
But I have to stress this is console. Widowmakers repositioning is usually not a big deal because they rarely hit critical shots. It might be way more significant on PC.
Why does it matter that Widow in a bikini skin exists? You know how many bare chested dude skins there are in this game?

Who's an effective counter to DF? I just can't consistently shut him down. Additionally does anyone have any good tips to use him? I'm too afraid to use him effectively in comp yet. That fucking KO punch is bananas!
It's not the same thing. One is designed to feel empowering, the other can be objectifying. The only one that can be argued to be fanservicing in that way is maybe McCree's Lifeguard skin.
But I'm actually asking about this in the GAQ thread right now to try and get a gauge on how women feel about Widowmaker's skin.
depends on how good you are with certain people bur sombra is the easiest one on paper
I'm in the minority that I want all of the characters can become viable in some fashion.
Your explanation is nicely succinct -
this has always been my favorite version. My take is the glasses are fabulous and the sarong is elegant and relatively modest, but it does trigger my perniciou-meter - even as it makes me wanna' see the rest of the cast in Official Beachwear - just like Cruiser D.Va and Graffiti Tracer make me desperate for more "casual" skins.
I'd be interested to know the response you get from the other thread
If it were up to me, I'd have rather he'd be able to lay down 3 traps instead of getting 2 concussions. That'd be a weaker buff overall but even worse for tracers since they tend to not watch the ground as much.

I don't think there's anything wrong with Widow's bikini. It's pretty chick, and not too revealing. I think it's less fan servicey than her standard wear lol.

Pretty sure I'm going to end up ranked Bronze in competitive Lucioball here.
Heh...I was actually expecting it to go much deeper below the ground than that. Like, be a half winston bubble or close to it. But the size alone should help a lot.

Look how happy this Orisa main is though. Like, I don't even play orisa (though I kinda want to), but just listening to how happy he is makes me happy.

Can't even escape leavers in Lucioball. :\
You'd think so but then the game specifically rewards one tricks and then you go 🤔🤔🤔...
Hissss! Booo!
Weirdly, yeah, it's less cringey than her default - though that may speak more to how insane her default is.
So pretty.
She needs to get a counter eventually, man, especially since Roadhog's dead.
4-0 so far. 6 stack is so much better this season.
Yea, you're a great DPS and Hanzo. Helps a lot.

I got these loot box codes for Twitch Prime but I don't play. The top code is a gold box and the bottom code is for 5 normals (I think)
Quote my post to see the codes. Redemption instructions: https://twitch.amazon.com/prime/loot/overwatch#claim-instructions-faq
Please post if you've taken the codes so others know.

I claimed the gold lootbox. Bottom code is up for grabs as far as I know.
It's already been redeemed by someone. Who, I don't know.
I took the second one. Thank you.

Hitscan, Pharah.
That Rocket Punch is the dumbest ability in the game though, I never thought I would say this in a world where scatter arrow exists.
The hitbox on that move is FAR too generous.
You're pretty good.
Lots of fun.

The games I saw today just reinforced my idea that people should stop picking tanks if they have no clue of what they are supposed to be doing with them.
The amount of feeding was off the charts, we faced some really terrible Winstons and D.Vas.
I bet they could do a better job by going dps/support and forget about 2-2-2 comps.
We prevented you from going doomfist, the world is a much better place like this.
That was our biggest achievement today.
Nediar, the guy that complains a lot
I sent you a FR when we stopped playing.

6-stack was good tonight with PS4GAF. Although I really wanted to be Symmetra on Horizon. Someday I will get to show off my Symmetra skills to GAF.
I say we all get one comp round as Doomfist, and if we win when you're Doomfist, you're allowed to play him in comp, but if you lose you're banned from playing him for a month. Seems fair.
