D.va is eventually getting buffed to be even more of a mobile attacker?
Wait, where did you hear that?
Just let me move while shooting. I don't even care if I have to reload.

It took a while but i finally got my first legendaries in the same box: Odette for Widowmaker and Raptorion for Pharah (also 150 gold). I never use those characters tho

That may be the problem. Thing is, it wasn't like I just sat there, staring into space, blankly getting hit by arrows for long periods of time. I was in a fucking hectic melee. This is like a 2 second period, rapid fire arrows, not charged. They may have been head hits, I don't remember. Dismissing any kind of balance issue by saying "Don't get hit" is sophomoric at best. Point is, I see Hanzo in more "plays of the game" than any other character with his fucking death arrows, and no, they're not always charged.
Funny how people here get so defensive, to the point of refusing to have any kind of discussion about it, but instead resorting to dismissive elitism "Don't get hit by arrows!!!! Duh LULZ!!!" instead of having a mature discussion about the potential balance issues with the game. And yes, there are balance issues, there always are in games, and things will get nerfed/buffed all over the place.
You just described my dream game.

I agree, Hanzo should definitely be nerfed with McCree. Both outpreform in what they are expected to do without much counter and Hanzo is particularly mobile and hard to kill given that he can climb his way to health packs and pretty much have his wallhack up in key locations at pretty much all times.
I wish I could destroy the wallhack arrow because given how good some Hanzos are it's pretty much a trap anyway.

Five people alive defending. 2 people push the cart to win.
People do realize the cart stops if you stand by it, right?

Aw yeah. Yeah I pretty much use her to take out any goddamn bastions and turrets on the sides as well as healers, so this is fantastic. Along with McCree's maybe FtH nerf D.va should be deadlier dismantling supports and defense on the side.
Best play of the game I have seen yet.
A lot of players I've come across don't know that you can actually push it back too.

Am I alone in thinking that the game is almost perfectly balanced as is?
I think the only thing that needs some adjusting is the full 360 turn radius on Torbjourn's turret. I feel that it shouldn't go all the way around or aim as quickly as it does. Idk, it's not even that bad. I'd be happy leaving everything as is too.
Maybe it's just me?

Will be interesting to see the first wave of nerfs and buffs.

I don't know if the game is fully balanced or not but when a team has more than one type of character like Torb it becomes a huge pain in the rear to deal with 4 turrets in 4 different places, no matter which character you are. Also as people have said earlier, all pro teams picking 2-4 McCree is a big sign of something not right.

There were a lot of people mad about no leveling system in Uncharted 4, so this headline isn't as crazy as it looks.

And people think he's easy. I have about 1 great game with Hanzo for every 3/4 good/shit games with him.
What I have observed:
Higher levels:
-McCree's burst is probably too high. Even considering his lack of mobility.
-Widow is probably a hair too capable
-Tracer and Genji are mostly fine, but they limit the support characters
-Widow is probably a hair too capable
-Tracer and Genji are mostly fine, but they limit the support characters
Pubs:
-Torb and Bastion output probably too high for the relatively low skill requirements
-Weird Hanzo hitboxes
-Zenyatta a bit lacking with his low health AND lack of mobility

Most people misuse her. And Blizzard does no one any favors by labeling her as a tank.

Exactly. I'll have one good game with him and I'll be like, alright, now he's clicking with me. Then, boom, a slew of games where I can't move without dying, and I can't hit shit. I don't know if I'm reading the sights incorrectly or what. lol
I think I'm going to dedicate a chunk of time tomorrow to just Hanzo and sludge through the countless horrible games I'll have with him.
Hanzo would not be used by anyone if you nerfed him. I think he's fine. I suck with him.
Zarya is the best in the game.

I actually got this achievement on PC by doing the trick where you use Widowmaker's rope grapple and then as soon as it ends I hit jump and it sends me flying. It's a good trick to use when you want to headshot a Reinhardt from above. But it's hard to pull off with multiple kills, even with a mouse and keyboard.
It definitely does seem that way. But that'll change as people get better with the game. Some characters like Soldier, Tracer, Widowmaker, and McCree will get a lot stronger as people get better with the game. A good McCree or a good Widowmaker can actually completely shift momentum both attacking and defending. There's also the fact that some heroes are easier at pub stomping than others. Soldier is a very safe offense pick in solo queue pubs because he gels well with any team comp. Bastion is good at low MMR's because noobs don't know how to deal with it even though Bastion has a million easy counters (I personally prefer to use Widow over Genji against annoying Bastions). Some heroes like D.VA and Bastion seem more situational, if anything, but aren't necessarily in desperate need of a nerf or buff. Honestly I think Hanzo isn't as useful as Widow. Widow gets her ult faster, and she's easier to use while still filling the same role as Hanzo, thereby being more effective

They should buff the others to his level, then; Lucio's in a great place relative to the rest of the cast, it's just other supports he outshines.

D.Va is not a tank like Reinhardt.
Her with a Reinhardt holding a shield is pretty much unstoppable.
But she's mostly a distracting tank. If you plant her right you can hold your ground... or sometimes just fly behind enemy lines and start taking the point which gets pressure off your team to move in.
Also her Ult is slowly being learned... It's why you gotta get creative with her.

Yeah I REALLY hope they eventually do a no character stacking mode in competitive play. It's annoying and can be very powerful with comps like the notorious double Winston or double McCrees.
I can agree with some of that. Mostly Zen's low mobility. His DPS does make up for his health though IMO.
Same. I hear a lot about the huge hitboxes of his arrows, but when I use him, I usually feel like it's pretty unforgiving even if I really focus on lining up my shots well and I watch them soar past him close enough to shave with. Could that disparity be a local issue? My internet speed isn't awesome, but it isn't dregs either.
Yup. You should also see an Icon on the left of your audio coming through to the team.

I'm not sure if Hanzo just has weird hitboxes, or if its the games 20 tickrate starting to rear its head.

I'd like competitive to have different rules. The main being no hero stacking. Save that shit for the casual mode.
Two characters with the worst skins. I really wish D.Va had better skins.
70? I feel like I've been playing non stop and I'm only level 30. I'm cooling it down until ranked comes out.
70? 70?!!!!!! WHAT? 0_0

Maybe allow you to shoot while putting the shield up?
More uptime on E and less movement decrease while firing would be great. I would gladly take on a reloading requirement if I could just move a bit faster while using my only consistent form of low-range damage.

Yesterday I saw a level 82, I have no idea how they got so high considering I've been playing 12-16 hours per day
Wut? D.Va has what I consider some of the best skins in the game.
Bastion is pretty decent too.
If you want to talk about bad skins, look no further than Zarya.
