I feel like Mei's icewall should do something like 1 damage per second of touching it so that you can actually get credit for kills that come as a result of blocking someone off a cliff.

Is there a way to know what actions or abilities charge a characters ultimate the fastest?
Is it just doing damage with weapons / healing, etc? What charges a Rein Ult faster, doing hammer swing/strike damage or blocking with his shield? Questions like that .. Thank you!
I did B). McCree survived with a sliver of health but a red ice wall blocking soldiers ult saved us the match.

When people select Mei, there should be a big pop-up on the screen that explains, in enormous text size, that you can remove a wall that you've placed.
E) Hope your soldier takes mccree down first and hide

Basically the same way you might get Fire, except you get it for damage in the moment and not just from kills.
Healing, Blocking, Support (Giving a character armor/shields), and Damage.
What a twist!

Also that you can change the axis of the wall prior to placing it.

Heroes Never Die
Not as good as the 3:12 Envyus vs C9 match yesterday, total steam roll lol.

would be way more fun than the current shitfest. I feel like they'd have to restrict Symmetra to 1 though.
Gotcha, thanks.
Also side question but does the charge rate of a character's Ult also affect how easily they can get on Fire? For example, Zarya's Ult is slow to charge compared to someone like Zen, should that mean that in general she has a tougher time getting on Fire compared to Zen?
I'm trying to think of characters where that doesn't work, so characters that have a slow charging Ult but can get on Fire more easily.

Same. Most enemies don't expect Symmetras to just run the fuck right up to them and start bouncing and jumping over their heads to throw off their aim while I'm hitting my beam, and usually the only time it bites me in the ass is when they've got allies around to shoot me from a better vantage point. 1 on 1, especially against squishies like Tracer and Genji, Symmetra is a goddamn beast. Nothing funnier than watching a Genji trying to "deflect" when I charge up to them, like, "You poor fool, that will not save you."

I'm unsure about Ults having different charge times, someone else would have to weight in here.
Well the name certainly fits the performance.

dual mei comp on defense never loses.
I do this with Mei sometimes, I'll sneak around the payload while on defense and hope that my teammates don't die. Most of the time, they do, leaving me to deal with 3 enemies.
I wish I could do that lol. Extremely impressive.
Never take the wall down, even if you accidentally block friendlies. It's a sign of weakness.
Most of the time, the Mei's I play with block our team as much as the other team, or she provides cover for the other team to avoid kill zones.

Just found Overwatch's response to that shotsfired tweet of Battleborn back in March, this is a lot more classy.

I'm still casual scum in this game but I really really like the versatility of Mei.
I had a match on anubis where i went to capture the point and my team got wiped out and i managed to contest the point (albeit unintentionally and haphazardly) by creating a wall that allowed me to stay in the tiniest bit of the corner of the point to keep it contested and when the wall dropped i put on my ice shield to contest it even more. I ended up getting killed but it bought my team enough time to try for a push.
That was like a good 8 or so seconds the enemy team made no progress. I felt good about it. Definitely plan to incorporate that into being an actual strategy.

Man, the community on PC sure can be disgusting and horribly toxic a lot of the time. Is there no way to turn off text chat permanently? I am tired of every post-game being a horrible flurry of hate.
Huh, strange because the community of this game is the tamest I've ever been and I've been in a lot.

Really? The PC community seems to be the most quiet community for any blizzard game, no one ever says anything. The angriest i see people get is throwing out passive aggressive comments like "you can contest the point by standing on it lol"
Yeah, nobody says anything at all.I think everyone must just mute text and voice chat at the start or something
I really haven't seen this at all. Like, not even once. It's either "GG" or "I hate Bastion", but that's about it. I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but I'm a bit surprised that it happens so much for others.
Yeah i agree, guess people fear Blizz almighty ban hammer. Sure some can be toxic but the OW community so far is nothing compared to LoL, Dota 2 or CS:GO.

I hardly go a few games without the text chat being just littered with varying levels of vitriol. Ranging from passive aggressive tips on how to play to the fair frequent salt fueled hate of the losing team. I've seen multiple n-bombs, a lot of "faggots", I've had someone leave the game and rejoin as a spectator and spend the whole time in chat shitting on me trying to learn Genji, I've had many reapers and hanzos say stuff like "ez" or "get good" after every kill. The list goes on. It's at a point for me now where it's probably 50% or more of the matches I play are full of terrible people. And maybe once every few days I come across a game that is full of people just there to have a good time.
I report everyone who goes too far but it's depressing at times. I just want to have fun, I don't like people throwing hate in the chat.

are you leaving games for a new one? dong that yesterday had me back on old maps. gotta stick around.
i think i only ended up playing Volskaya once lol.
I dunno how anyone can call the PC Overwatch community toxic. If so, I really wonder if you've ever played competitive MP games before.
The most people usually say is if a reaper or bastion win pot, they'll go "you just pressed q" which is hilarious to me because it shows how salty they are. (I dont say it in chat, but I definitely think it too lol) Or they get mad at someone that didnt get on the point even though they were standing right beside it for 10 seconds.
There has only been one occurrence where a dude was being toxic because he was a shit player and blamed me and others for not taking a point even though we died due to a junkrat riptire. Just report those fools and have fun.

The playstation community in Overwatch is a bunch of silent monks.
But I think everyone had placed a turret badly or thrown a disaster ice wall up, or thrown their rip tire into nothing. I thinks people aren't as quick to judge and flame as we think they are. I think most people are just having a fun time.

Not everyone's experience is the same.
Although I feel sorry for the people who seem to get angry people in every game. I pretty much never see them on my end
I've had a few matches on Hollywood that were similar. It sucks when the Attacking Team gains a ton of ground that quickly, making it next to impossible to set up a proper defense.
Call of Duty was worst for me. It's one of the reasons I dont play COD anymore.
Just stating my personal experience so far.
Then again I also usually play in a group more often than not. I'm guessing the occurrences of toxic players goes up a lot if you play exclusively in pubs. The one time it happened to me was when I was in a pub.

Yeah I unfortunately haven't been able to get my group together much. When I do the chat seems totally normal and pleasant. But 90% of my time is pub matches so maybe that's why.
I pub all the time though, and I get toxicity like...1 in 20 games? And even then it's like one comment a match.
Granted this has been going up lately
