I guess old habits die hard, even with new Rez. Just died to a Hanzo ult, then got rezzed while the dragon was still flying through me and died again.

New Mercy giveth, and new Mercy taketh away. At least now they aren't wasting their ult.

 

[antitrop]

3-0-2 in placements, so far. It's taking me forever to do them.

They should drop it to 5 if it's not your first season.

 

[Schlep]

Outside of maybe reducing her ult time, I don't think Mercy is too bad.

Cutting it in half to 10 seconds is the route I see it going. Four rezzes combined with 20 seconds of chain heal/boost just changes the game way too much.

So my wife and I have been renovating our house recently, and one of the casualties in our renovation was my gaming/lazy chair. So I'm currently playing sitting on the floor. I'm 100% positive that this has impacted my aiming/muscle memory cause I'm playing really badly now. My aim is swimming all over the place and I always feel like I'm either over or under compensating

 

[JeremyEtcetera]

Don't nerf mercy and even the playing field instead. Bring back Ana's original healing rate and grenade damage and make her ult give speed boost again. On top of that, revert Lucio's speed boost to line of sight like old times. Also, make Zenyatta's discord + orbs as deadly as they used to be.

 

[UltimaPooh]

So is this game starting to die already? There's a lot of negativity in the community

I used to play on PS4, but recently bought a gaming laptop (LUL amirite), and was pretty stocked to buy this game for PC.

It stems from people thinking they know how to play the game and can just be any character they want and win and it doesn't work that way.

So people who are asked to switch get pissed.

When you try to form a strategy they get pissed.

3/5 games with a leaver. How are you supposed to climb with this shit? How Blizzard?

I think there is a major crash/error going around. My game crashed out of no where just a little bit ago. Never seen it happen before. This is all I could find that was from today:

Blizzard says they are looking into it if that helps.

 

[DR2K]

The fuck does this game allow 4 DPS teams in competitive?

Wow, Overwatch just crashed. Been playing since day 1 and have never had it crash before.

Get a yoga ball to sit on. Work those abs while you game, and put it somewhere aside when not in use (or even deflate it).

[MCD]

Finally back after a three weeks hiatus! Internet/room all set and ready.

Two comp games with DVA! I loooove her so much now!

Yes her defense matrix can't eat lots of ults like brfore but I play her aggressively so I love going after healers with my missles and I no longer fear Tracers.

Baaaaaaaang

 

[Stallion Dan]

Been winning/losing 20-30 SR on average, guy just leaves my team, we get within 1m of drawing even though 5v6, both a friend and I lose 100SR.

How?????

More than 100 actually, drop from 2520+ to 2397.

Edit: Usually I lose like 20-22 point per loss, but last 2 games lost a full 30 each time despite doing well and getting gold medals, I know if I'm playing bad or have bad rounds and I'm not. Wtf is happening all of a sudden.

Last three matches have cost me 160+ SR loss.

 

[Schlep]

Yeah, SR is a bit weird since the patch for me too. I lost three earlier and each one was minus 27 despite putting in a lot of work. Prior to the patch it was more like minus 18-20.

How do I lose 100+ when losing 20-22 on average???

My teammate who was grouped with too.

 

[Plywood]

+1 for Overwatch crashing

 

[Dead Prince]

mine crashed today too. talking about a program may have caused it.

i was just the game open for awhile and didn't play yet.

this was the error

pro tip. hog is trash

 

[Dead Prince]

when you use voice com "go to point" like 5 times. but they don't go. i watched rein just walk away from point.

my fav is when diamond geniuses play rein and start trying to chase down tracers way off point. shit happens 24 7

Not dying, far from it. Community is bitter af though

 

[randome]

The new mercy is really fun to play as.

once god king moon stops streaming im sure this ow thing is dead

well one can hope

Started to try out D.Va a little bit after the new patch. I'm really digging it, might become one of my mains.

Its really not a big deal since people are building ults faster than you re getting your rez cd back. That and honestly if the team in front has a good zen, your team will get shit on regardless

What irks me the most is that Ana + Mercy was already not that good before, but it's even worse now and sadly EQUALLY played. Like why.

Otherwise game is a salt mine since release, nothing new under the sun. Just over selfish people thinking they re all knowing gods, getting flustered in about 2 seconds if things aren't going their way. Community is as always trash

 

[Terareflection]

So... making Rez an ability wasn't a good idea.

 

[Sygma]

Why ?

 

[Nuno Pinto]

1-2. One good match. Second was a close one we could've won but lost. Third one had a thrower. Yeesh.

Yeah the first two were fun. Fuck that hanzo though, I think I sent like 3 different reports.

my fav is when diamond geniuses play rein and start trying to chase down tracers way off point. shit happens 24 7

Even worse is when they are at the choke and decide to leave. Shit there's a flanker on point, it must be my job to go deal with it.

 

[mollipen]

Honestly, as much as I'm loving soaring around the sky, I don't know that she needs to fly as part of her ult. Give her like hover instead of flight, so I can move around on the ground faster (and maybe avoiding things like Junkrat traps and Mei ults), making me harder to hit and giving me more ability to get out of nasty situations but also not making me this crazy flying target high above everyone else.

I think I could be happy with her having that change.

The flight is a big part of allowing gamemaking plays, though. Being able to get The Angle You Need To Fly To That Guy on Mercy is such a concern and - let's face it - hassle that being able to provide my own verticality is huge.

Overwatch PTR Patch Notes – September 22, 2017

Ultimate charge is now immediately expended when a hero’s Ultimate ability is activated, instead of being depleted over a short period of time

This part is pretty big. Genji and Soldier come to mind.

 

[Dead Prince]

yep. weekend. all dps. no tank in mmr

This change is amazing for Genji, it's bullshit how much leeway they give them.

You can do it. I got up to 3470 on my alt account, and I'm hoping to get to Masters next week.

Not sure this is what we're all thinking off though, ult meters are currently depleted in about 0.5s after activation but I always thought the shit we encounter with a genji dying immediately after ulting and keeping 100% of his meter was an effect of latency.

Some characters would not start their ult depletion until its start-up completed, but now it seems that it hits 0 the moment you press Q. That means Genji losing it while blade is coming out; Lucio losing it while in his jump, not when he hits the floor, etc.

 

[shintoki]

So why do I have a penalized for leaving QP?

Seems kind of bullshit when it keeps putting me in the same game against a stack.

 

[Wyndstryker]

New mercy takes a bit of getting used to but way more enjoyable. It's really the ult that takes a bit of practice. Battle Mercy in the sky is something no one can really practice for before the patch.

 

[nabe_shogun]

You can do it. I got up to 3470 on my alt account, and I'm hoping to get to Masters next week.

How do you end up with accounts with such different SR?

 

[Schlep]

Learned the hard way not to play this game on the weekend tonight. 4-8. Feels bad.

 

[SgtWiggles]

Just got hate mail saying they reported me. In Arcade mode. For playing as Sombra. In the same round I got MVP.

Lolwut

You are not supposed to get mvp cards in arcade. Stop being a tryhard.

[Mr. Luchador]

What's really getting to me at the moment is just how shit it feels to be the solo Tank or Healer, doing what's asked of you, on a team of DPS/Defenders, that ultimately loses, to see your rank plummet.

I played by the 'rules' I tried to help the team with a role that was needed (even according to the in-game prompts). Yet, because 5 other people wanted to be their favourite DPS character or whatever, I have to endure and waste time to see the inevitable defeat through.

... and then of course the leavers.

This game just wants to punish you, over and over again. The sense of reward and enjoyment is so fleeting.
