I'd be okay with this because that's what I thought he would be in the first place. fan the hammer does way too much damage for very little effort.
I always want to experiment with new characters but they're always taken or I need to go back to tank or support since nobody's picked them. Maybe I should just stop caring about winning and have fun, doesn't seem many other people are.
I'm thinking about buying it for x1 over ps4. Not sure

21 Elimination streak with Junkrat and POTG. Feels real gud.
What are folks general thoughts on Junkrat? He is by far my best character. So much fun.
Mercy was the real mvp

I'm not saying Mccree is not good. I'm just saying Pharah is just as good. She is a monster in the right hands. I am not even good at this game and I can easily go 2:1 with her in matches. Quake and UT guys probably wreck shop with her.
Holyshit those are great skins.

I think he's a neat character, but I'm terrible with him. Can't get kills to save my life.
I think more to Reapers damage on or maybe 25% more damage to sheilds would be good for Reaper.

They could make it a massive snare so you can still fight back but Tracer would still be slow enough to counter. Fan also needs to do less damage so you can't instantly drop tanks but can still punish squishies.
Would be shit against tracer and Genji if you actually had to nail them right on though, which again by blizzards own words is the main point of flashbang. Flashbang isn't the problem, double fan the hammers is.

I thought McCree was crap then I come on here and everyone's saying he's OP. I've got his Mystery Man costume as well, I'll need to give him a try. If they nerf him then he will be totally unusable. Is his stun combo really that OP?

As long as they tone mccree down before ranked hits, I'll be happy. I'd prefer to not see mccree in every single ranked match again.
For some reason sometimes people get that impression of mccree early on.

And yet you keep ignoring the point that McCree melts tanks instantly. Pharah can't do anything like that unless she uses her ultimate. Congrats, you can go 2:1 with Pharah that doesn't mean she's as good as another hero.
She's not bad but saying she's as good as McCree is insanity.
They're not nerfing Flashbang, they want him to continue to be the anti-flanking hero that specializes at killing the fast heroes that others have trouble with. They don't want him destroying tanks in a Flashbang, however.

I have 13 hours on him. He is an absolute monster that can single handedly hold off pushes and check points.

You can kill any character in the game with stun + fth -> roll -> fth.
He's my best character as well, but I hate his ult. I like that he's great on offense and defense, similar to demoman in TF2.
Blizzard has said they're looking at changes to Fan the Hammer.

I think this is all we have to really go on right now.
Had some great matches last night.
PotG with Junkrat nearly had me in tears and when it happened I knew it would be play of the game.
Had a match as widow where I was shutting down a tracer.
Got my 1st 20 kill streak and it was as torb.
My win% as lucio on control maps is absurdly high.
Got a 4-kill with High noon.
Was good shit. Trophies popping everywhere.

I got 4 gold medals earlier as Zarya... not 1 vote for mvp. lol the vote at the end is so pointless, just move on to the next map. don't need to see that shit.

Good. Flash isn't the problem. Fan just does a disgusting amount of damage. Combine that with a roll and a second fan and it doesn't even make any sense.

TWO TORBJORNS
ONE WIDOWMAKER

Why? That the best comp ever!

Speak for yourself. I like the medals and the voting after matches.
Pharah can't wreck Roadhogg quickly. The other tanks she can take down pretty quick with speed and rock placement. Plus she can control and multi-kill groups, which Mccree can't do and Tracer is the other offensive hero who can do this though not as effective as Pharah. Her ult charges faster than Mccree. She can get around teams and smash them from behind like Tracer, genji, or reaper. Mcree has a much harder time getting behind teams because he moves slow, lacks a movement ability and you need to make sure you have fb which takes a while to recharge. Pharah can cut off areas of the map which other offensive heroes can't do.
Mccree has one focus and that is one on one confrontation. Pharah is also good at this while being good at other tasks. Once they patch Mccree Pharah will become the popular pick.
Seems that people don't understand what the medals are. Apparently a lot of people think they mean that the player got a bunch of personal bests.
I give up. You think what you want. Pharah is trash when there's one decent Widowmaker on the other team so until she gets nerfed Pharah won't be picked much just like she is now.

Better map rotation needed ASAP.
I didn't realize I was speaking for everyone. I don't mind the medals, but I think having a voting system in place that does absolutely nothing is pointless. Unless you like the kudos of people deciding to vote for you.
No kidding, I played Route 66 like 4 times in a row the other day.

Just did a Defend map where we had three offensive heroes and no tank or support. Thought for sure we were gonna get rinsed so I tried out Junkrat who I'd never played as before...and somehow we won? Shows how much I know.

I would almost prefer they redesign the entire character's tools. The ult is fine. But maybe make his roll a lot stronger in terms of mobility (perhaps a 4 second cooldown) without the full reload, replace his right click with more aim based skill, and make flashbang do something other than stunning everyone hit.
Maybe his right click shoots a stronger shot that has a lot of damage drop off. I was thinking like an incendiary round. It does 70 damage up close but then an additional 30 damage over time. Something like that. Normal rate of fire. LMB is better at midrange due to less damage drop off.

Wish you could set a preference for KoTH, Payload, and Hybrid maps. I really don't want to play Nepal anymore.
