Might be a mouse wheel problem? I know that when I used my logitech mx with the free wheel scroll I had problems with characters switching their weapons back and forth due to unintended wheel movement.

Hm that could be it. I'll look into it the next time I boot up the game and see if I have weapon switch bound to mouse wheel. Is that a default option? If so, that might just be the issue. Thanks for the heads up!

Ah disconnected from PTR again
Btw, are these the best settings for least input lag w/ no tearing?
Border less Windows, Vsync off, Triple Buffering off?
For some reason the game looks more jittery like that than in Fullscreen. I have a 970 btw.

Do people use his right click often anyway? I feel like it's only good if you're rounding around a corner.

I know that feeling. I went through a pretty dry spell too.

Fuck just opened another loot box on PTR and got Safari Winston. My last loot box on PTR contained T Racer. Is the drop rate much much higher on PTR?

That's one of my favorite emotes. It pretty sums up my feelings when I play support.

That's pretty much my Overwatch career. Just a dry spell. Just hit 34.

Understood. I always found him so underwhelming before, so I'm looking forward to all of these changes. We'll see what happens when it gets out into the Wild a bit for all players. Hopefully it'll be a decent balance!

D.Va and Zen look great and now that McCree is viable again I wonder who gets pushed out the meta.

76 and Pharah are basically tossed in the trash and then deleted if McCree stays as he is.

They really need to look at defense characters next honestly. Right now the tank class is honestly one of the most rounded and varied category in the game, assault is good too, and support, while it might not be as diverse as the others, is the most crucial class in the game and got fleshed out by the zen buff and ana. Can't say that any defense characters feel crucial right now, even in their intended use for defense.

Ha, reminds me of a match on Gibraltar a while back. I was rocking my usual Sym on defense and had put my teleporter up on a high ledge just before the last checkpoint. (Yeah, I know I should have switched out when they got that close; it just happened so fast!) Just before I die I see a Widowmaker roping right up to the ledge where my portal was, and I groan, "Dammit, so much for that!"
And I respawn... and my teleporter is still there. I run to it, figuring it was going to explode any minute, but nope. I warp in, and there's the Widowmaker. Literally standing right next to my teleporter with her scope out, plinking away at my teammates. I just casually stroll up to her, hit my beam, and dead sniper. I think we got two more TPs out of that before it finally got destroyed. Ended up losing anyway, but I just found that hilarious that the enemy Widowmaker either somehow didn't notice the big, bright shiny red portal right next to her, or just figured it wasn't that important.

I was playing as Mercy on Ilios today, and there was this enemy Bastion in one of the houses and I walked past him (didn't know he was in there). He had the audacity to go out of his turret mode and try to gun me down with his rifle. I shot him to pieces.
I absolutely love when I can pick off over-confident players who think Mercy is easy pickings.

I was Phariah
He was Mercy
He was mad that I kept killing him because I didn't want him to rez. I kept flanking his Rein and dropping mad truths on him. All the while he's raging in the chat.
Dude, right before leaving, says "you lose".
My sides!

I've never really used it much. I just don't think it's very viable in most encounters unless you're anticipating something around corners like you said.
It might be more viable now. Before it was 45 vs 35 now they both do 40 so if you can anticipate someone the alt attack might be worth it.
The downside is you can't discord a alt fire unless it's already discorded.
I have my RMB bound to discord so I never use alt fire but it might be worth it to mess around with.
Buff junkrat pls

It's okay if you have a camping Bastion somewhere and want to take him down, but otherwise it's not really all that useful. If you could hold it infinitely tho, man.

Who is the most balanced character in the game? Abislute bottom of the list for a buff/nerf, working EXACTLY as intended?
The problem with the right clicks of Zen and Sym are that the game forces you to shoot it after a couple seconds. If the game allowed you to just hold it until you actually wanted to use it, they would be more useful.
Yeah if you didn't release automatically it would be a lot stronger for sure.
Soldier on PTR probably.

Probably Pharah. Is very viable but also has glaring weaknesses.

Reinhardt.

Rein, I think.

Actually with nanoboost reinhardt is kinda insane honestly, but that's just down to nanoboost really.

I was gonna say Rein too honestly. I think Pharrah and soldier are one meta change away from being OP or underpowered though.
Genji is pretty much exactly where he needs to be. My dream is that his melee gets a small buff but that's unlikely
Probably not? It's not very good, if that character ever gets overhauled that would be the first thing to change.
I play a lot of Zen and the first thing I did is to assign discord to right click. The only time his charge attack is useful is when taking out turrets.
I almost always see someone switch to Mei for the defence of point B.
lol thats pretty funny
Antiwhippy

I'll break her out too (I play her a lot), but if it's against anyone who's actually really good, nah, I'll opt for a DPS because making sure there's one less enemy is the best defense still.

I play better when I'm drinking/smoking. Why?
I see we have come to the acceptance stage of the Mei cycle of Grief.
You just think you're playing better, in reality you're probably playing worse.

I don't think my mind is that warped... Lol

Depends on what you're smoking. If it's cigarettes or any other kind of tobacco (i.e. nicotine), then it increases your alertness, motor skills and ability to focus, thus allowing you to react faster and play more accurately.
In terms of drinking or smoking other drugs, I dunno, though. Perhaps it just puts you in the right "mood"?

To be fair, DVA and Mei are my 2 most played, but I don't play them in ranked that often. Will do it moreso once the balance changes hit live though. Want to see how mei's ult charge effect teams that aren't like 3 x ana + zen + dva + mccree. 
Been outgunning some of these mccrees though which is kinda sad.

BRB ordering a vape so I can get gud at Overwatch.
haha
Well, it's PTR I guess. I don't know what else I would expect. About to play exclusively PTR so I can get gud with Zen and Ana before they drop.

Something I just realized, with Ana and probably soon Sombra increasing the female representation on the roster up to 10 total, Overwatch probably is one of the games with the most equal spread of male and female characters (there's 12 male, 9 female + 1 presumably upcoming, and one gender-neutral robot).
The increase is minor. Noticably so, but still minor. You won't magically launch gitgud.exe. Thinking taking nicotine will heavily increase your performance will only launch grief.exe.

I'm thinking Ana is Sombra, because her Shrike skin looks exactly like Sombra, but who knows. It would be cool if they had another character in the works.
