Overwatch |OT10| That'll do pig, that'll do

Yeah, f*ck this. >:|

Failed at Junkenstein Endless on normal about a dozen times this morning, every match ending in the same way on the same round: Wave 9, swarmed by multiple Roadhogs and Reapers, Mercy not going down, the door falls with us surrounded and overwhelmed by 7-8 bosses with multiple RIP-Tires thrown into the mix. The extra loot box isn't worth the elevated blood pressure and nasty thoughts I'm having right now.

Speaking of loot boxes, I leveled again and finally got a legendary skin from my 8th... Gambler McCree. So yeah, f*ck this. >:|
 
That's an improvement, but frankly I'd like her beams to do something a bit more ultimate than having a long range to 1 target before branching to others. If yellow did +100% healing and blue did +30% damage boost - now we're talking.

Let the yellow beam actually burst heal up a tank, let the blue beam do the same damage boost as Orisa's with a shittier range, I say. Otherwise the most valuable thing about Valk remains the rez CD reset.

so youre saying it should heal and boost at the same time.

So a whole year goes by and Blizzard can't make any updates to the (standard) Junkenstein's Revenge PvE mode?

Same map, same heroes, same gameplay, same enemies (save one) as last year.

What are they doing with all of that loot box money?

No, I'm saying while using yellow beam, let it heal its primary target twice as much. While blue beaming primary (during Valk), let it do 50% increased damage.

I want the ult to feel really impactful. In the same way a Genji or Reaper curses when they pop Q and Zen ults, Mercy's should be powerful for more than just a CD reset. Let it do something ultimate - and low-rent Zen/Orisa ults ain't that.

Working on the toxicity problem. Remember, Jeff said that they can't focus on fun game stuff if they also have to spend time figuring out how to make people not assholes.
 
I like how the rez resets after ulting (it was my prefered option) but I don't like how the cooldown works when you rez again after ulting (it doesn't go back to 30s like it should imo).

Also while that new guardian angel is pretty cool I think it might be op if the cooldown stays at 2s and the health regen at 1s.

What happens to the cd when you rez after ulting, if it doesn't go back to 30s?
 
Ohhhh I like that a LOT. That introduces all sorts of strategy in to when you pop Valk. Pop it 20s after your last rez, you'll have another in 10s, etc. Very nice.

Yeah, it's like a middle ground.

Before it was rez->ultrez->10sx3, you could rez 5 teammates in a ~30s space. Now it's down to 3.

If it still feels too op they can always put the cooldown at 30s whenever the rez ability is used after ulting, or increase the cooldown.
 
also team. stop going on comm telling me to res i don't know youre voice and there's a chance i don't pay attention to the voice icon anyways. just say why you need a res. and if you have ult or super close. mention what that ult is. you know. so i can find your dead icon and if i can res you or not.

or people going on there saying i need healing. or when they say they are behind me. bitch youre literally up my ass. when i 360 i don't even see you if youre like hiding still behind me.

I just use the "my ultimate is ready" callout and let the Mercy decide.

Profoundly Stupid Moment:

I’m Sym, defending Anubis A, spamming my alt-fire from the doorway of the room with the small health pack by the choke. I die, and I emote that my teleporter is ready to go. “Understood!” emotes our Mercy, and Rezzes me. I am right in front of the enemy Mercy, trying to get through the choke. She is RIGHT THERE, so I put a ball into her, chase her back outside the choke and immediately die.

“Thanks!” Mercy emotes. “Thanks! Understood!”

I turn on my mic. “Oh my GOD I am SO SORRY. I’M SO SORRY MERCY! That was insanely dumb! I deserve those sarcastic thank yous!”

We held point A, but I felt like a total goober. Because I was a total goober, there. Had to chase that Mercy!

popped off as Hanzo in MH today. 24 player kill streak with 8k damage done. According to the rules of Overwatch that was my one good Hanzo game and never will play that well again. sad!

I did that once >.< Hanamura attack, went Hanzo as a joke, out-sniped the red Widow 3 times, shot their Genji out of his ult in midair twice, it was incredible.

Went into the next game, picked Hanzo, got NOTHING done.
 
I love widow's Q. A teamwide wallhack as often as a good Widow can put it up? Yes please!

A low-grade Orisa ult or a super low grade Zen ult? Yeah nothankyou.jpg

Oh, you did not just talk shit about my beautiful robot boy's team-saving Ult.
You Tracers...

Oops, never mind, misunderstood what you were saying. Carry on.

Zen's ult is godly. What I'm sayin' is Valkyrie without the rez reset is 20% of the healing of Trans, over a smaller area, without the benefit of self-invincibility. Not a knock against Trans! It's a knock against Valk.

Yeah, I edited it right after I posted when I realized I done goofed.
I was mostly kidding anyway, since Tracers are usually the least likely to be benefitted by Zen Ult since they can run away from everything he protects against.

Well... at least Mercy can still fly and be harder to kill than usual I guess?

Yeah but when a Reaper drops in and ults, when a Tracer sticks you, when Lucio or Zen ult to counter, there's an "oh shit!" moment.

I think the current PTR changes on Valk are good, but I still dislike that Mercy doesn't get an ult that gives you this one BWOWWWM power moment like Rez 2.0 did, or Trans or Sound Barrier, or almost any DPS ult.

I want to apologize, deeply and sincerely, for my Tracism.
Mistakes were made.

It's okay. This is a teaching moment.

Also I want to remind everyone that Pulse Bomb cuts through Transendence like a knife through buttah.

Oh God unless it's to protect against a Mei ult, I run IN. I get a few seconds of basically being invincible to get right in the reds' faces without having to burn blinks to dance around.

I'll be the first to admit that I'm pretty tilted as I write this, but WHAT THE FUCK Roadhog's hook placement? I just got roflstomped by pharamercy even though I consistently outplayed the pharah by hooking that bitch from the sky over and over again like a madman and it ALWAYS places the Pharas directly above my character without any chance in hell of hitting her in any meaningful way. They must have fucking laughed their brains out because they knew I "beat" them but it didn't matter.

I feel like this changes every update, just aim even with the hook you're not gonna kill her with the beam still healing her

Got Reaper skin first box, then I bought Zen's cause I need it. Life is good.

Endless Junkenstein is pretty fun. So ridiculous when it starts spawning 3 roadhogs.

Overwatch has the potential for some really fun game modes. I love how every Blizzard game just has great custom games.

I ended up against 6 Hogs with pocket Mercys and everyone died. lol
 
Friend of mine opened his free event box, two golds!
Currency and Slapshot Lucio, bah gawd what a troll

Speaking of which, my first gold? sharkbait Hog, grumble.
 
6 boxes so far and I got Vampire Reaper. Sitting on 10k so I can get McCree, Zen and Zarya if I need to.

My aim is all over the fucking place after a month off, junkenstein is helping knock the rust off nicely tho.
