I actually love Bastion's legendaries. I'm tempted to just buy one of them outright with my precious gold. As for D.Va, I like hers, though I really wish the non bug ones didn't have that ridiculous headphone/goggles combo.

It's pretty balanced.
Characters need to be nerfed when they style on you, but they're great and should maybe even be buffed if you like them. <-- That's the mentality of reactionaries.
Mei skins also suck ass.
Well yeah Zarya has some pretty bad skins, which is a shame because she's one of my favourite characters.
Don't even lie. She has pretty baller skins.

D.Va's scavenger skin is great

Thanks for that!

I feel like she would outduel pretty much everybody in the game if she could do that, but I like your thinking.
This is a nice idea too. It's honestly not clear to me why D.Va needs to be so slow when firing. I mean I get that it's so that you don't just hold down the left mouse button at every opportunity, but, like, as you say I'm not sure it's worth.
It might be nice to just let her shoot while boosting. I'm not really clear what that would break -- I, at least, can't keep an enemy in front of me the entire time while boosting.

Lucio's wall run feels like such a late game tacked on thing due to the amount of shit on the walls of the maps that just say "NOPE" to him wall riding. Like, doing it in Blops 3 or Titanfall is such a silky smooth thing and then you try to go along a wall in Overwatch and you're popped off almost intantly because the wall has a brick, or a lip, or a window, or a pot against it.

Down time on it would need to be extended but when you do use it, it can get you out of a pinch with turrets and bastions everywhere.

I agree, the balance in OW is really good right now. But it's not perfect and some characters could definitely use some tweaking. McCree is a little too dominant at the moment, and the other supports could be buffed to Lucio's level (instead of nerfing him) I think. It's also a real shame D.Va and Winston in particular were nerfed to account for stacking. They're both weaker than they use to be and should be due to a feature that really should not have been the default game mode.
This is a sensible post. Not everyone who mentions balance adjustments is crying merely because their play style isn't being catered to. Some very small adjustments could be made to improve the diversity in competitive matches. I think they came out of the gate very close, and with some gentle, incremental adjustments it could be pretty much perf. No huge shifts need be made. Start small and iterate
trying to get his achievement is a pain, cause it feels like i always gotta look at the wall to stay on it

Wait what. I know I pushed it sideways a few times today.

I'll give that first Mei one a good home. Thanks a bunch.
His ammo count could have been low.

If only there was a Genji skin of this color scheme:
At least his black one comes close to looking like Raiden from Revengeance.

A Starcraft Goliath skin would be killer.
Maybe it's momentum-based. Once the tire has speed, knocking it back in a cartoonish fashion is not possible, but affecting the trajectory is? Seems a bit unlikely, but Blizzard seems to have actually considered how abilities work vs other abilities pretty well so it wouldn't surprise me.
that would be great

Like just reclass D.va to offense and stop making people think that she's a tank and she'll be fine.

Won a game with a Mercy (me), 2x Zenyatta, 2x Reinhardt, and a S76. Didn't start that way other than me as Mercy but that comp got the payload moving midway through and took us to the end. I was surprised at how well it worked.

We were
On a B stage control point, and the Junkrat Ulti was going to take out five of my team and instead I pushed it side ways toward the pit and he just got Reinhardt.
How? i tried it multiple times, his right click doesn't push the riptire away but can push other characters off a cliff, makes sense lol.
haha dang. I'm like lvl 30 now still

I just hit it from the side and it slid away from me.
Maybe you were aiming above it?

Almost sure it does as I'm pretty sure I've done it a couple of times. Not like it amounts to much most of the time, anyway.
EDIT: It doesn't get blasted too far off like heroes do btw.
Had a beast game with Symmetra just now, and it really makes me more annoyed that I can use her in more maps and on offense. I love playing as her so much. Her turrets are so fun when you figure out smart places to put them and get surprise kills against speedy flankers, her death balls are great against Reinhardt, and her teleporter is so useful. But I can't in good conscience pick in like 90% of the games I play. It's a real shame because she might be my favorite support to play with.

Maybe it's just RNG but I feel like I'm on defense 60% of the time.
That makes sense to me in that case. An ult should be hard to affect defensively, and altering trajectory seems a lot fairer than just countering it outright with a right-click.
Also, thanks for the potential pro-tip. I play Lucio a lot and am always trying to find ways to make his right click even more useful.
Im level 36 with one Legendary and only 815 currency having not spent anything, so Legendary Skins at least for me are a pretty big deal.
However some of the Legendary skins for some of my favorite Heroes feel..alittle lacking?
For comparison Hanzos Okami Skin has:
Unique Ultimate Animation.
Unique Ultimate Voiceline.
Unique E Voiceline.
And then you compare it to other Legendary skins that to my knowledge some don't even have a unique voice lines (correct me if im wrong here) let alone a new ability animation.
Im not saying every Legendary skin should be put to the standard of the Okami skin but would it be too much for Blizzard to go back to some of the Legendary skins and give them alittle more besides just their appearance?

4 winston + lucio rush is hilarious, im crying here of laughter
Agree with some of the others who posted above, as the game is pretty balanced. Obviously there are some 1v1 matchups that are imbalanced but the game is 6v6, which allows millions (billions?) of different permutations of matchups, making it very balanced overall. As someone who didn't really fall in love with the PC version during beta, even though I enjoyed it, I'm have MUCH more fun with the PS4 version for some reason, and I haven't even played with friends yet.

I really want to love this game but I'm at that point today where every other map has a pinpoint non missing insta killing widow on the enemy team and it's extremely stupid, even if you go out of your way to counter her it's only for 20 seconds, it's either that or a mccree right clicking for play of the game. Even reaper is better then that.
I'm looking forward to whatever balance appear because on PC at least, widow and mccree are untouchable in balance

Just played the worst game of Overwatch in the history of Overwatch, I think. Like, it wouldn't have gone any faster for the opposing attackers if we'd just gone afk for the whole match, it was that bad. Feels so goddamned bad, man.
