Is anyone lagging their brains out? 400 ping from 20 ping is a crazy jump these few days.

Might have been, I am Reila there as well. I mostly play her on defense, but as with Torbjorn, I sometimes venture with them in attack as well. In fact, I played Torbjorn on Lijiang Tower a few minutes ago and
got wrecked lol.
She definitely does. Hopefully new skins will be a thing for the already released heroes.
I put it on the top window on the market area of Lijiang Tower map and got a quad kill
That is about it...Oh I'm sure there's better teams. I think he even mentioned it in his stream. I just think he's one of the best overwatch streams I've watched. Seems like a really good guy answering the chat questions and explaining why certain things are going on in the game. So rooting for him since he's trying to be a pro.

My new favorite thing is jump up with winston and tase Pharah in the air and drop down with her still zapping her lol
When they add new skins, I hope Symmetra's the first one. I don't like any of her skins. Even her default is hampered by the fact that she looks like an over-designed Tekken character with her robo-arm and scouter.
Get rid of all that shit and keep her dress and I'd pay for that skin.

D.VA still needs enough time to get away if she just drops it without flying first.

Only buff she should get, imo, is reducing the size of the mecha's head hitbox. Her damage is good if you are close and as D.Va, you should be getting close/bullying the squishies... or at least that is how I play her. Plus, Zero Suit D.Va has decent damage, too.
Don't listen to this man or woman.

Everybody has to be a hero when they're playing with randoms. Had transcendence on deck on Hanamura, and waited two minutes for everyone to group up and follow me in after saying I had my ultimate and to group up with me, but Pharah, Roadhog, and Tracer were too busy trying to one man army everything. At least the snipers had an excuse, though I think a Hanzo and a Widowmaker on the final point against a buffed up enemy team is a little too much.
She needs to lose her movement penalty when firing. Her guns are not good enough to warrant that.

I was getting horrible lag spikes on wi-fi, but I bought a powerline network adapter and I haven't had a single problem ever since.
I've been using wi-fi for years and it's never been a significant issue, but for whatever reason Overwatch seems to hate a wireless connection. Running a cable to my computer isn't really feasible with the way my house is set up, but I was having stretches of sheer unplayability and it forced me to examine other options. If anyone else is having problems I would strongly recommend trying a powerline adapter. Apparently their effectiveness is highly dependent on the way your house is wired, but in my case it's practically a life-changing upgrade.

You use the boost to close the gap again. I think all she needs is the hitbox thing fixed, but who knows? I am not a pro. ^^

Isn't the whole point of her design that you boost in close enough to just stand there and beat people in the face?

Yeah, D.Va's critical hitbox could use work. When I play Widow it's stupid easy to kill that mech.
I really love any excuse to play D.Va, but as she stands now it can be tough to find that excuse in a lot of situations. She's amazing when the circumstances of the match suit her. I would be all too welcome to a buff.

I usually pick her in maps where I can bump people off the map/into pits with her boost. :3 Also, it is lovely when the opponents have a Winston, since he can't do anything against B.Va
The ping seems stable but I do get the two yellow icons flashing in the corner quite often.
So Lijiang Tower is the last map I need for the world traveler trophy. I've done about 150+ matches and have seen it only 3 times (lost all 3). Last night my final match was there so I was pumped.
We won the first game 100-0. Second game, we were up 80-0 but my team tried to chase them to their spawn and they capped and won. Game 3 we were about 10 seconds away from winning and I got disconnected.
That was one of those *slowly put the controller down, turn the ps4 off, and walk away* moments.

Man, I feel like I see that one too much. That goes for all KOTH maps. I don't mind KOTH from time to time, but it's by far my least favorite mode.
I appreciate the feedback. I may try lucio is some practice modes today, see if he's a good alternative for those scenarios. I wish I had a tank that also heals for all these teams where I land on with all these attackers.
Dr. Buni

lol. That very rarely happens in my matches though, there's a Mercy or Lúcio in most matches. Zenyatta is the least played support from my experience.
You think so? As Winston I've never had a particular problem with D.Va. I usually just pester her with my Tesla Cannon and then leap away; she can't do much as long as I keep distance and use his barrier. As long as I have at least one teammate attacking her she can be easily dealt with. And Winston eats unmeched D.Va for breakfast.

We need more custumization stuff Blizzard!
If by artificial you mean in the map design, then yeah they definitely are. As the payload reaches the end, the attackers start to lose their spawn point proximity advantage.

True that, but his damage is ridiculous low against her mech. If you get into his face, he has to either jump away (from an objective sometimes) or just die.
You boost and get into their face again.

The competitive play update that is coming later this month will almost certainly contain some new skins as well.

I got a triple kill on Route 66 the other night. My buddy used Tactical Visor so they all ran and hid. Unfortunately they went to hide exactly where my mech happened to land. It felt so god damn good.
No achievement, though.
Oh I'm sure blizzard is going to have a ton. Including seasonal stuff. Got to get people to continue buying loot boxes.
it will work and I'll be buying them
I'm a bit of a parrot on this but the game needs player hosted servers, like that one thing would take the game from a great one to a perfect one. I want to play this for years but I dunno if I can without player hosted servers like they have in TF2 where you can build a community with 1-3 different servers with different rule-sets, where you play against the same people each evening, making friends and so on, that's why TF2 had the longevity it did.

Immediately I was like HANZO HANZO HANZO HANZO HANZO HANZO
same here, and a couple of disconnections too.
Seems pretty ridiculous to design a character that gets into a huge mech suit with lots of guns firing that do far less damage than the little pistol she keeps at her side. I mean I get why for balance reasons of being a tank but it's still pretty funny.

Off the top of my head, 8 seconds, or something like that? Not super long but not quite as fast as Winston's jump.
EDIT: I'm way off. It's five seconds, apparently. Dunno why I didn't remember that.

I don't understand this about the matchmaking? Why would they even implement a system like this?
5 Seconds, use it use it use it use it use it, knock the enemies around, escape pits of death, etc.

There are times I'm kind of excited to get to use the pistol. If I had a nickel for every time somebody has killed my mech just to be shredded with my sidearm.
No better time for the "winky face" voice line.

For PS4 players, is the save data stored on the console or is it stored on blizzard servers / linked to battle.net account?
I ask because I just replaced a dead hard drive in my PS4 and my save data wasn't uploaded to PS+ before this died. Did I lose my progress and skins?

If that Roadhog is trying to contest a point when it is overtime and the whole opponent team is there, he will likely not last two seconds :3 But otherwise, yeah...
Anyways, didn't know that was a thing in Overwatch, but it explains why when I start to have a win streak, suddenly I get into a match where my team is completely stomped.

Thought it was nearly impossible to get POTG with Symmetra, but I guess holding your opponent to their spawn and going 19-0 will get it for you. And the play chosen was me zapping Reinhardt with the gun.
Now I am convinced it is nearly impossible to get one as Mei. I think I got close as I froze nearly the entire team and got a triple kill.
Also Mercy plus Pharah is fun, but squating behind Bastion boosting and healing is very effective.

Yes, and the defenders spawn point is way too close. Even just a few meters away would make it a bit more balanced, because fighting over one meter is surely tense, but it feels so artificial and "wrong", at least to me.

How are you guys using the ult really though. I still get kills from it. Just depends on the situation.
Area clearing thing for the payload on the last second just so they can't overtime us? Double kill or more most of the time. Ram it into torb's dumb turret as my team is making the push? Even if you don't get torb you will get his turret, but torb too from time to time, and you cleared the area for the team to make a push.
Sometimes I fly it in the air and drop it on the payload to clear the area. Most people get wise to it but some people don't.

I find Zenyatta to be pretty difficult to play as. I feel like he'd shine with a coordinated bunch but with randoms it's hard. Much easier to be a straight healer as you can focus on a single player at a time.
