New Hog is the same unscary battery he was after that nerf

McCree is very dominant in FFA from what I played.
I've seen it twice. Once with one who did really well, and one with me. But it was a close match in both cases.
I misread the update, he's actually more tanky
You can move while healing now and he gets a 50% damage reduction while healing
Not sure if it's enough to bring him back into the meta but it's something
Tried it a bit with both last night. I had a hard time trying to get in and out of certain situations with Sombra. DF was easier. I think maneuverability is pretty important with this map
A lot more tanky. He can take a huff while standing next to an exploding D.Va ult and survive it lol.

also i just bought zen's gold balls. switched back to nutcracker skin. next up i need to save up for ana and dva.
Junkrat is fucking overpowered on the Chateu map. I played for a few hours last night and the top 4 was always me on McCree or Doomfist and 3 Junkrats.
Double mines = instant delete.
Yup, still good with his trap and mine combo pre-buff, tbh. But it feels so good to kill the Reapers who wraith away with a small amount of life with another mine. I had a match where I had to fight against 4 goddamn Reapers who kept wraithing away. Kept trapping them and mining them to death. That was fun.

After bringing up good deathmatch showings I'd be amiss not to mention awful ones where I played the worst Doomfist of my life, granted it didn't help that the entire match was filled with Reapers, Hogs and Sombras but I couldn't land a killing punch to save my life.
This new hitbox, oh the agony.

I've won FFA DM consecutively with Tracer. Yeah, it's on console, but it happened!
I do think there's no point in having assists show up in the scoreboard. We already know when we're not securing kills!

Not sure, but probably? The experience bonus for rankings aren't that huge anyway, so they could just continue being nice to players and just give everyone with the same number of kills and deaths the same xp bonus! That's kinda how it is in the other normal modes where people get the same medals, right?
I'm at the point of having played hundreds and hundreds of hours where I really don't care about those little details.

If he's nothing more than a sponge he sounds like he's just feeding the enemy teams ult
I am perfectly fine with a large target like Roadhog whos hard to kill and helps me build my ultimate quicker. As long as he's not on my team

I'm not sure he actually helps you build ult any quicker than before, he just takes a lot longer to wittle down.
I'm not saying he's a menace or anything, just more of an annoyance.
Has Doomfist already been nerfed in this patch? I played a bit of him in FFA, had no problems fisting people and won the match too.

What characters do you use dual zone with?

I'd like to know this as well. I played him a lot in death match yesterday and had great success with the guy.
Word is the hitbox changes to his charged punch are live on PS4, but it's undocumented - just like when it hit the ptr.
My time is now. No but really, I might try playing Winston to see how it goes, but I had pretty good matches with Reaper. You can kill enemies pretty quickly and have a bit of sustain as well as a way to escape.

^I felt that Winston can struggle in FFA simply because the amount of characters that counter him are often out in full force.
Still you can have your moments if you play carefully.
You are more accurate than I.
for what it's worth I have had some solid success with him as well but I do feel like the effects of the smaller hitbox are in effect.

Yeah the hitbox is fixed. I tested it out in training.
Seems like Doomfist is gonna run rampant in Deathmatch, especially the Chateau level. Easy to get OH-KOs.
hes alright but hog is so good in deathmatch and he fucks him hard

As doom fist I never pick fights with hogs but if I see someone else start some shit with one I immediately jump in to take em out.
Yikes, that clip looked good! Are you tempted to dabble with Mercy again next season, when her update hits?
I will try getting back to her for real. A Mercy that solo rez only means less frustratation and blaming me for not hiding and huge rezing everyone.

I'll have to remember that next time - one match I played over lunch the top 4 were all Doomfist.
I'm definitely remembering why I hate multiplayer Deathmatch, though, and why I stay away from most FPS multiplayer games.
Round corner -> headshot by golden gun Widow
Respawn -> turn corner -> flashbang/FTH'd by McCree
Respawn -> turn corner -> headshot by golden gun Widow in a new position
Respawn -> turn corner -> Doomfist OHKO
Respawn -> wander map for 60 seconds not finding anyone -> headshot by golden gun Widow
Wheeeeeeee!
As long as those players are on enemy team, that's fine with me.

Orisa actually feels awesome now after the patch. Gotta say I'm super happy with the changes to her gun.

WHY CAN'T ANA NANO BOOST HERSELF IN DEATHMATCH?!
HAHAHA, now that's funny.

People who use D.Va in this mode are the worst human beings.

The amount of Roadhogs I face is disgusting in that game mode.
It turns Defense Matrix into a complete double edge sword. They can't kill you, but other players can't kill them either. The only use for it is to bait out abilities/ults.
Everything will be fine once she gets her missiles and boostable gunfire.
I don't know if I'm just getting lucky or if I'm actually learning to land shots with Hanzo. Either way, I'm having a blast playing him in DM. I never knew how much I wanted this mode. It's just so refreshing and liberating to have no responsibilities towards a team; it's just me and my score.
Good post by a Dva on /r/overwatch detailing the recent nerfs to her on PTR (and Blizzard nerfs in general) and how horrible they are.
Someone in that thread said it better than I ever could, so im gonna paste it here, but this is exactly how I feel the trend of nerfs have been going and its getting tiresome:
Hes 100% right here. Nerfing tanks to oblivion only creates a further divide in the community, to where everyone is just going to start playing DPS.

Team Deathmatch is so much better than 3v3.
