And then have genji reflect it back to him for comedy.
Not like he cant deflect the flashbang right now.
This is what I'm afraid of, too. I havent played a huge amount yet, I'm at lv18 or something I think, but no legendaries yet. I'm scared when I do get one it'll be something I really dislike.

Level 27, no purple or gold skins at all. Nothing so far. Just whites and blues... Common Blizzard, at least give me just 1, for example the Mecha Queen? Please?
Well I played him when people were saying he was garbage so...
I just a got a full replicate box of 2 rares 2 commons XD.

Yeah, but the image of a cowboy hog tying himself is funnier.

Because one would be optimistic that a player is decent after x hours of time.

Isn't it only logical to assume that the more you play the better you become?
Those low level good players are most likely coming from the beta.
Better yet, give her the ability to shoot through it while it's active.

It would be interesting, but if she's in bad place I don't think that's the only thing they can give her. It being useful relies upon the enemy team feeding it.
Sort of yes, sort of no. People will get better as they play, but an enormous amount of transferable skill which some players will just never accumulate no matter how much they play. Game sense, spatial awareness, and aim are just beyond some people's grasp or scope of interest.
Not just one of the worst Symmetra skins, one of the worst skins period. Vishkar looks like a Mass Effect doctor's outfit. Bland as hell.
Ehhhhhh. I think it's super boring compared to some of the other legendary ones.
I went back to her white and gold epic skin.

I agree. As Symmetra I always start with turrets by their spawn door, then drop slightly back to either place more turrets or to replace ones that are destroyed. As an added bonus, being that aggressive with turrets on defence means you get your teleporter incredibly quickly. There have been instances where I've had my teleporter active within 10 seconds of the match starting (admittedly, this is against weak teams that panic and don't take out the turrets, but still)

I'm level 21 and I've got 3 legendary skins, i think i'm doing pretty well with the old RNG.

Started playing this yesterday and been primarily sticking to playing against AI and getting a feel for which heroes i like and how they work.
Took me to about 8 levels before i realized that the AI characters are always the same and there's a ton of hereos the AI doesn't use or rotate in (i'm guessing it would have been too complicated to program them all or something)
It's nice that they give you xp for it but i wish the Ai was a bit more sophisticated and did a better job of simulating human behavior. The AI doesn't even split up and use different routes. They literally run in a straight line right behind one another. Any well timed AOE ultimate can easily net you a team kill and the inevitable play of the game.
Speaking of which, does play of the game ever amount to anything more than getting a bunch of kills in quick succession?

I think at least it staying active when flying to rush down turrets would be nice.
Having it active when shooting would be way too OP.
Also, What's the est way to take out a turret solo?
Ive played in shit teams where people ignore it and then get crushed.
Ive tried widowmaker and Pharah but without anyone distracting it or a shield to hide behind i get nearly killed as soon as it has line of sight.

It already does stay active when flying.
It absolutely does that.
You can rush straight at a turret or bastion or anyone really and just have your defense matrix up the whole flight.
that's REALLY rare to happen, because people usually know to hide when they see the mecha or hear the "nerf this"..
dont you sass me
Her ult being the only really legit thing about her, does not mean she doesn't mean a buff

Although Bastion will likely kill you before you can really do anything if you try that. At best, you could distract him for a couple seconds.

Huh, I though it switched off as soon as you use your boost thing?
will do! I love to Guardian Angel up to teammates with hover/fly type abilities.
I sometimes still have trouble with situational awareness, but that should get better as I learn the maps.
Blizzard has fucking done it again, I can't remember the last time a game made that kind of an impression this early on.
And then be dead 1 second after the barrier goes down.
D.Va is fine imo. The only bad thing about her really is the fact that after the mech dies, there's quite little you can do and the benefit of not dying means nothing in OW.
What? D. Va's handgun is great, one of the best in the game imo.

She can destroy a turret before it destroys her mech assuming no one else is shooting at her.
Plus, she's surprisingly effective outside of her mech because of how small and fast she is.

i'm just saying that if they're planning to make a character that i currently use a lot and manage to perform...moderately well with better than they already are then i'm totally cool with that.
also i just really wanted to show off that scavenger skin lol
best feature of the game imho.
there's no "we would've won if only the timer hadn't ..." shit, when you're doing your final desperate push.
and accurate her handgun. A lot of widowmaker died to my handgun because they underestimated my aim
That's why I hope they'll give me the option one day to leave my mecha without it exploding first.FreezerGeezer

It'll be interesting to see how they nerf McCree. He is my most played and I imagine it will stay that way regardless of the changes, his just good fun!
I think the effect radius for his flash bang needs to be reduced a little. I could see / understand them reducing the damage of his right click too. Makes sense to smoke the 150 / 200 health, but maybe Right click > Roll > Right click should not be able to solo take down Reinhart from full health, could do with a reduction there.
