Overly viable, honestly.
Phara is going to move down the meta with Ana and the buff to Mcree being so viable now. Ana save her sleep dart for an ultimate, or Mcree will two shot her out of the air at any distance.
Zen is looking to be the new meta.

He is survivable enough now that he can lay down discord kills while being harder to take out.

Thank you very much for providing the links for me. It's much appreciated. It looks like a good change!
Hmm...so you believe he might be moving into overpowered territory now?
the problem with zen is that now winston can't kill him, he loses in 1v1. I'm worried about winston with these changes. Winston is supposed to counter squishy heroes in the back lines and snipers like zen, d.va now is better at that in every way since you can aim and you are far harder to kill.

may have survivability if there's lucio around.
time to fix his main fire into like zarya or buff it.
They buffed his health and buffed his orb uptime. He always did tons of damage and was a fairly capable healer, but now his orbs stay with whoever you put them on for longer when they go out of LOS on top of your sustainability and health going up.

Getting sick of playing with teammates who are too afraid to die.
Happened today in Hanamura. I was using Winston and I leaped in to the first objective, got rid of the turret and used my ult to disrupt the enemy team. Once I died I see all my teammates still shooting near the gate not pushing forward at all when that was their best chance. I died in vain.
Yeah it's so dumb and I even see players that are high level that should know better doing it.
Had a Hanzo and Widow stay up top doing fuckall earlier when we could of kept the enemy team off the first point if they would've just stalled it until the rest of the team got back. There was 10 seconds left. All that work for nothing.
Or how how bout when you say ultimate is ready, group up and people just stay back potshotting, giving the other team a chance to regroup. It's like do you want to win or not? smh The worst is the tepid Reapers shooting their shotguns from long distance.

Hard to tell if it's overpowered because PTR is such messed up place to test things out as fun as the chaos is (like, new metas probably won't revolve having 3 anas in your team ). But yeah, being able to keep discord on a character longer due to LoS changes and zen just being out in the battlefield longer, and with the 50% damage boost mercy has (which thankfully will be gone soon) means that your team can just melt anyone deemed a problem.

Seagull expects the current iteration of Zen to be a part of pretty much every single composition.
The changes are not final. The devs said in yesterday's stream that they always tend to lean towards making more extreme changes at first in PTR to see how far they can buff a character before it becomes an issue. There will likely be adjustments before it reaches live.
like the fix is simple, 3 leaves you're ban for the season. games with leavers the winning team gets full points and that's it.
Like sorry if you don't have stable internet, sorry tough shit, you shouldn't be ruining 5 other people's rank

200 hp zenyatta is major overkill in the buff department.

Ok, something needs to be done with players leaving. Either stop the match after after the first round (if they leave then), or allow a forfeit vote, or something. Or, IDK, maybe let a new player in if someone leaves? Something needs to be done because playing a match shorthanded is a complete waste of time.
People are probably using it as a way to practice characters now. I picked Genji earlier in a QP despite there already being one. I don't care if I win or lose a QP, I'm just practicing, lol.
So here's my question. I've put a lot of time with every character in this game. Every character is fun in their own way. Either they have some fun abilities, they've got flourish to them, they're fast or they do a ton of damage or they're a nuisance. Except one.
This fucker is so god damn boring to me. Bastion has his moments of glory but I feel like the only time Reinhardt is any fun is when your team is winning. And he is basically a required pick in ideal situations. He's the only character in the game that I feel like exists so other people can have fun. His charge feels so inconsistent, he's so slow, he's babysitting harder than Mercy and Lucio combined with his shield, he's a walking right mouse button with the occasional e or shift. And his charge feels like the most inconsistent thing in the game. Even more than Roadhog's hook. And playing him in solo queue is a complete fucking nightmare.
Are there people that love playing Reinhardt above all others? Does that exist? Even ulting everyone is followed up by sluggish hammer hits that don't feel satisfying at all. Like he is legit the only hero that I feel like I have to play him for other people to have fun.

I'm telling ya. I had the worst luck in my placement matches. I lost 3 games in a row at one point due to leavers in the middle of the first round. There were 2 other matches where people left when we were winning lol. Idk if they got disconnected or what, but I got so screwed in my placement matches.
Made some good progress today(gained 6 levels), but I wish the competive rank system was better. At least they're finally fixing the leaver win penalty because those meager gains suck so much after a hard fought match. So unfair that the enemy team can just troll you like that at the end.
No its people being stupider. It's like if they all drank chlorine when they were 4 but not enough to finish the job. Having hanzo's that the whole game during a koth match never once touched the point. not to cap, not to stop the back cap, not even to cause overtime. zero time on it.
wish there was just a tdm mode so these idiots could go there, one giant map with nothing on it but one spawn on one side, one on the other and free space in the middle so these idiots can go be bad there

I like playing him, but only if it's with teammates that actually know what he's there for.
It feels nice to feel like you're leading the charge. A lot of it is about finding the right positioning to break a defense open.

Welp.
Like I said, the devs have stated that they like to overbuff in PTR and then scale back from there.
Jesus this thread can get toxic as fuck.
You're supposed to be a little proactive with him, you're not just a walking shield. He can be surprisingly good when you see an opportunity. People usually assume you're just gonna stand there holding the point or whatever but you can quickly jump in and make a mess of the other team or dance around the payload. If there's one character that's boring to play it's Bastion, since he's at its best when he's stuck to the ground.
Aggressive and more proactive Reinhardts can do massive damage and work really well as long as they're not completely abandoning their post.So here's my question. I've put a lot of time with every character in this game. Every character is fun in their own way. Either they have some fun abilities, they've got flourish to them, they're fast or they do a ton of damage or they're a nuisance. Except one.

Charging the second point of a capture map while the enemy is still in the middle of setting up defences is extremely satisfying, too.
It's probably random. Even the other characters that speak in their native language sometimes say the same phrase in english.
I don't get it. He has the same DPS as before, the only difference is the orb triggers a smidgen earlier. But in using discord for himself that was never the issue. The only thing is he has 50 more HP.
Personally I was fine with old Zen, but I'd have liked for his Orbs to stay on a bit more than 3 seconds.
Doesn't the orb also last longer when players go out of LOS?

She says that when she's on your team. The other team hears "show them your strength" in arabic.
EDIT: ah okay, playing as ana and doing that ult gives you that voice line instead of the arabic one now.

How conflicting. I wouldn't mind staying at 150 HP if it meant not nerfing his DEEPS.

Well look at it this. The more zen stays on the battlefield = the more potential damage there is. If discord is only isolated to zen attacks then it's fine, but having a team focus down on discorded enemies makes it super strong.
The fact he can 2-3 shot anything that jumps on him after health buff means a whole lot. I said before his survivability was still ass but the 50 shields is enough to let him outduel people.
I like that discord is still good with the 5 damage drop off stopping him from kill people 1-2 orbs sooner without headshots.

Does Blizzard hate me or something. I am level 33 right now and haven't gotten a single legendary drop and two purple drops. Pretty mad rn

I was actually wondering if they changed the drop rate. Yesterday I got two legendaries in three boxes.
But yeah, before that, I was rarely seeing any yellow drops.Antiwhippy

It's real good. Not overpowered like people say it is though. People seem to forget the other problems that dva has.

Same deal with my friends too. Really frustrating. Im not getting any credits or duplicates either to save up for just one legendary. I'm just getting sprays...sigh

So I've been running into this weird issue in my game, and I guess I'm asking if anyone else has encountered it and if so, what their fix was?
When playing a characters with one than more weapon (Mercy, Torbjörn), whenever I try to change weapons while moving, the game immediately switches me back to the weapon I was holding (doesn't matter if it's the 1 or 2 weapon). I have to stay completely still for a few moments and mash the 1/2 button to swap over to the other weapon. Sometimes it will work immediately, but sometimes it really takes me like 3 or so seconds to properly switch from blaster to staff/hammer to gun or vice versa. It's really infuriating and makes defending myself as Mercy or maintaining turrets while also shooting people as dwarf really difficult.
Anyone else had this problem?

Looks like they nerfed zenyatta orb damage from 45 to 40 with latest ptr patch.
Ana also has 8 shots instead of 6. Haven't tried anything else out yet.
Edit: I guess his right click orbs do 40 now as well according to some people.
