Seagull called it a bug and mentioned something about it being fixed in the future so I take it is. It does sound pretty damn powerful considering Mercy already charges her ult really fast even without that.
Except the more items there are the harder it will be for them to get items with the duplicates... How does having duplicates help them?
Not sure if serious.
Unfair? How is that unfair, every game that has exp system or loot is unfair by your standards.

Huh? No it doesn't. Every person would have to play the same amount to unlock everything with no dupes allowed. Until they add more content.

Does anyone have any tips for taking down Tracer? It doesn't seem to matter what hero I'm playing, she gives me grief. I have some success with Junkrat but that's mainly because of his bouncy grenades and his mine which I throw in their face and hope I detonate it quicker than they can blink. If the enemy team has 2 tracers it's sad times all around for me. I just can't seem to handle her at all. I'm on PS4.

Bastion in Recon mode is a pretty good counter to Tracer. Just shoot at her, she blinks away, you repair, she comes out, repeat and she'll at the very least leave you alone because its basically a stalemate unless she has bomb but you have turret so it's all hypothetical.

the holder of the trombone
Winston. Also take note of where she was all the time to bait out a rewind.
Also I tend to find my matchup as mei against her is fairly neutral, but they don't want to be anywhere near me. She can blink and and rewind out of freeze but mei is bulky enough to survive an encounter, and when she freezes she's toast.
Also mccree, but he counters everyone.
They're cosmetic though..
Mccree. Successful stun bomb is guaranteed death.
Edit - I take that back. Good tracer will blink when seeing mccree throwing animation.
Winston is probably the best counter.

I like how my most played character has become Lúcio. I dont mind playing support, but I rather play other things. However, someone has to do it. I dont really mind Lúcio though, hes pretty fun to play. I tried Mercy a bunch of times, but I said fuck it. Mercy with pugs is a nightmare.

Tracers are starting to learn that you can rewind during stun if you hit the key at the same time as the flashbang hits you. It's very annoying.
Ayep. Some teams just can't accommodate my needs as a support, so it's time to go Tracer/Pharah/Junkrat.
Without duplicates the drop rate is not stable. every icon you unlock makes legendaries easier to drop, while every icon Blizzard decides to add to the game makes legendaries harder to drop. If Blizzard suddenly want to double the number of icons, there is gonna be backlashes when there should not.
I was just trying to say that the situation right now is not gonna be easily alleviated just by removing duplicates.
?? Early adopters get all the legendaries in 200 boxes that are available...now.
The pool will be bigger for late adopters, and even early adopters will have the same chance of duplicates as late adopters.
hes my most played now too. feels fucking bad man
They are just cosmetic so why getting so worked up against it?
Sorry I wasn't clear about what I meant. I was trying to illustrate a situation where removing duplicates could cause some problem.

I like playing Mercy but generally I feel like my team actually wins more if I go something like Junkrat and just destroy everything.

I like lucio but when you're forced to do something you like you quickly get tired of it
But it wouldn't. At all...
I have no idea who did what to this McCree, but this was pretty hilarious in the moment:
Him seeing Lucio do an overhead smash ult through his scope is the best thing I've seen in this game.
I would've never recovered if I saw that coming for me.

That's Junkrat love, my friend.
The damage boost/nerf theory sounds absolutely ridiculous. Pro players would recognize any significant damage change in a second. Their thing is knowing exactly how quickly they can kill someone and how long they can stay alive under fire.
What is it with people in this game coming up with all kinds of theories to explain W/L ratios

The situation is the duplicates. It would be 100 percent alleviated by removing the duplicates, much in the same way trying to alleviate wetness is best accomplished by drying.
Pointing out and discussing a problem isn't getting "worked up," or else you are also getting "worked up" by it by doing the same.
Excuse my poor English and bad sarcasm. My point is, Blizzard called this upon themselves and deserve all the backlashes they get. But you see, removing duplicates is solving a problem by introducing another. Maybe they should increase how much each duplicate is worth.

Yes the hanzo arrow hitbox and 20tic servers are hilarious.

I hope blizzard fixes the tickrate soon. It's way too easy to die for reasons out of your control.
You mean "highlight intros"? They play when you get a "Play of the Game" or when you look at your highlight.

Peak Hanzo
Oh ok cool, thanks
But that really is the problem of Mercy. Her ult is so good it's oppressive. Like if you have a half decent Mercy the other team needs to have one as well or you just lose because of her ult.
In competitive, and soon ranked, there is no reason to not pick Mercy. You just need one on your team. I really hope that ult gets reworked somewhere down the line.
Is there anything more satisfying than completely ruining a Widowmakers fun the entire match?
I don't think there is
I love jumping on Widowmaker as Winston. They panic shoot and jump away, then you just jump back on them and fuck them up

You're totally right, the High Noon sample drowned out his mine noise(also, didn't notice we had one).
I should send that Junkrat a gift basket.

I wouldn't really try to extrapolate shot accuracy from a muddy gif.
4 u.
(I'll be the first to admit that was an asspull arrow too.)
Get ready to not knowing what you are doing and feeling frustrated for the first few hours.
And maybe play the Weekly Brawl to learn the characters and maps?
Muddy or not you can see it in motion and in the still. The arrow is way late. So it means that the client was behind the server or the arrow has a 3 meter diameter hitbox (which it feels like when playing hanzo TBH).

Without the ult being as effective as it is, she wouldn't be picked at all. Double Lucio is much more versatile. It's also not that distinct from others. Lucio saves everyone on the team from a wipe, mercy saves them post-hoc. Zenyatta's is mediocre because they die to high burst damage, healing or no. Widow for instance, doesn't care if Zen's ult is up, or not. Lucio meanwhile, can get everyone's HP to 800+, and heal them up to their max health by boosting the volume. He also doesn't have to compromise his position to do so, Zen is very likely to die at the end of his ult.
Problem with supports is that only two are viable, Zen needs a buff, Symettra needs moving to the defense category, and the support category needs 2-3 more characters.

What are some of the more interesting ultimate combos you guys have seen?
I was playing with some Gaffers on PS4 a few days ago and we ran across a team with a reaper and a McCree on Ligiang tower in the circular building. The Reaper and McCree synchronized their ults so that anyone running from the Death Blossom got one shotted by the High Noon.

Just had a laugh with my crew, we queued as 4 and did like Lucio Pharah Torb Symmetra every game no matter what. so many confused and mad teammates, so many confused and mad enemies, and yet we went like 8 and 2 and never lost on control point :3
Symmetra the beast.

My biggest problem with Mercy's ult is that it comes out even after you kill Mercy.
Like, you clearly see her fall down during her ult animation but it still goes off because the animation itself isn't the Ult, the ult happens immediately on button press.
I wish her ult had like a 1 second cast time or something,so you could still interrupt her.

If Lucio gives Genji his ult and speed boost Genji can wipe a team in seconds.
Easy to react to with Lucio though, another shield negates it. Same with most ult's mind you.
