Zen really should be able to float over Junkrat's trap, unless it's some secret 4D outback tech

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

The charge is waaaaay too quick, it's the easiest sniper class in any game I've ever played. That charge time needs to be at least double what it currently is.

Yeah seriously. Her charge must be 4x faster the TF2 Sniper's. Doesn't help good Widows will also use the SMG function when you get close.

There's gotta be some way to see if the opposing team has players in a party, that way I can leave the match without wasting my time.

They should remove map bans from competitive play. It's fucking boring to see them playing on Hollywood/ Kings row all the time

Yeah there has to be a better way of offering map variety. Hopefully they come up with a viable way in the future that incorporates some of the lesser played maps.

Zen stops out of courtesy. He knows what's fair.

Shared some of my thoughts on Zenyatta:

Started playing him a lot more recently and starting to appreciate his abilities whenever there is someone else playing Zen. Discord is life, Harmony is forever. Embrace tranquility, GAF.

On PS4 you can press the track pad to see the team rosters.

i dont get reinhardt tbh

 

[Rhaknar]

i dont get reinhardt tbh

He has a giant axe to hit people with and a shield, what dont you get? Plus a charge that one shots 90% of the cast

1 hero limit, best of 7. Starting on King's Row.

no one wants to play hanamura or russia

Because they're good maps? Says more about your game than competitive when they run those maps 99% of the time and just recently put 1 hero per person on KOTH

Shield but stop shielding before it breaks because regenerating is better than the cooldown. Don't go offensive unless you know its a good time.

If no one is killing behind you or healing you then you're SOL mostly.

 

[Rhaknar]

I really hope blizzard takes notice of all these 1 hero limit tournaments for ranked

 

[-MD-]

Her charge must be 4x faster the TF2 Sniper's.

It nearly is, 1 second charge compared to TF2's 3.3 second charge.

i know

i still dont get him. its a me thing not a reinhardt thing. i know what all his buttons do but putting all of that together is ?????

 

[Ken]

best hair
best armor
best team lines
best gibralter tan

90% of Reinhardts forget about everything but the shield lol

Like if someone is shooting me right next to you please drop the shield for a second and use your big ass hammer please

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

i dont get reinhardt tbh

Big hammer does big damage with a stupid huge hitbox

E is a harass and does good damage

Charge will kill everyone but tanks and gives mobility to get out of spawn faster

Shield that blocks D.Va, Roadhog, McCree ults and can provide cover to take out a Bastion or Torbjorn turret

Ultimate that renders people unable to do ANYTHING for 3 seconds, more then enough time for Reinhardt alone to kill at least 2 people

500 hp

Not hard to see why he's picked constantly on offense and defense

 

[Jblanks]

TFW you have a Hanzo, Pharoh, Widowmaker, Tojborn, Genji, and me as Zarya on payload defence..

It took until the last payload push for someone to switch to Mercy, and a Reinhart but we lost.

 

[edgefusion]

I'm getting really tired of Torbjorns auto-sniping snap-lock turrets and constant PotG's. Now that people are cottoning on how to how OP he is in pub matches virtually every PotG I see is of him goofing off while his turret snipes people. Its just no fun to play against.

 

[Canucked]

i dont get reinhardt tbh

He's kinda funny. Great lines. I use him because I got a bunch of loot for him and ended up liking him a lot. He's the closest I have to a "main" I guess.

 

[Rhaknar]

Why do you guys keep saying Rein has a hammer? Its an axe

Spoiler

:3

 

[Wanderer5]

Lol shit I got another legendary currency at lv 29, so with that I got the last legendary skin that I really wanted; the Mech Queen for Pharah.

Really? Lately I feel like I am seeing LESS bastions/torbjorns as even pubs are catching on how to counter them

 

[RowdyReverb]

Lol, just got dropped into a game with 10 seconds remaining and imminent defeat. It didn't even load in all the character models before the game ended. Oh well. 466 free xp

 

[rdytoroll]

Watching fights happening in birds view is pretty cool, you really see how important positioning is

 

[AcAnchoa]

I reinstalled and updated every single driver in my computer and I no longer have connection issues. It took only one a half hours.

 

[JCH!]

Was so close to getting that Zarya trophy for keeping your beam over 70 power for a minute. She's a goddamn powerhouse with a Mercy behind her.

That and the Zenyatta discord assist trophy must be the hardest in the game.

Really? I got the Zarya one without even trying. She's by far my favourite hero.

Now the Zenyatta one...

the manual pull back is really bleh

Watching this game,commentators are awful, all they do is comment on every action seagull makes.
"Seagull reloaded his gun, i really like that decision, he can now fire more bullets"

Pretty much the only thing I hate in the game is torbjorn. Nothing quite like the Russia map where two torbjorn are setup at the last capture point. Everyone complains about bastion but at least the player is aiming. Torbjorn just standing there or are halfway Cross the map doing absolutely nothing for the kill.

 

[MyNameIsRye]

I agree. I'd like to see random maps to be honest.

Yeah, I wouldn't have gone Zarya with that all-star lineup lol

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Amazing, 3 duplicates.

My luck with those damn loot boxes is getting better and better.

 

[edgefusion]

Yep, and if it's Volskaya you can guarantee to be up against at least 3 Torbjorns forming an impenetrable defence that a pub group will simply never overcome.

 

[sappyday]

How does the game judge the gold medals? Is it based on the character you use or within your group?

 

[Ramirez]

My internet is shitting the bed today, apologies to the PS4 group I've been with today.

 

[Satch]

like this game im in right now, i hold my shield up so people on my team can do god knows what and then they run off and im alone with my shield up so i try to do ???? and then ???? and then i die

9/10 times i dont even know what im supposed to be helping my team do. i try to do what Renbot does since he's so good at reinhardt but it actually doesnt work like that at all

 

[Nickle]

Piercing 100 damage fireballs every six seconds, a charge that does 300 damage and breaks up crowds, an ult that incapacitates for 2 seconds, a big-ass hammer that kills most people in 3 swings, and 500 health.

 

[Aquavelvaman]

I think it means you did the best of that category for your team.

 

[RandomExpletive]

I'll run Torb on Hollywood defense, but nobody on our team runs bastion, we just don't like how he plays. Then last night a friend's friend was all bastion all the time, and now I can see why people were running him. That said, not that fun to play WITH a bastion either.

 

[Dubz]

Got the Winston Legendary...the Safari outfit. Started using Winston again, and I think I'm finally starting to get him

 

[Hex]

Going in, going to try and have fun on Tracer or McCree unless shit gets dumb and I have to switch

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Its definitely based on your group, and not the entire match.

For instance, I've had 1 second objective time before and a gold medal because i was on defense. Obviously offense would have more then that and i wouldnt even get bronze.

Hardly the most surprising revelation but Seagull looks more human when not pub stomping with a dedicated healer.

if no one's using your shield then you can either just go aggressive reinhardt, inching forward with shield and try to get charge/ult picks or swap hero

worst case you're still absorbing 2000 damage while drawing fire from your randoms

 

[sappyday]

I think it means you did the best of that category for your team.

So I guess if I got around 30 eliminations but got a bronze that means people in my team were racking up way more?

 

[Ferrio]

Atleast 2 were, yes.

But also filling up the red teams' ult charges also.

I'd say at that point just dash in and swing.
