No, I agree. I'm used to how it worked before and I just think it's more intuitive for it to just stay on until I fire my cannons. I tried the Toggle setting, but then they stay on regardless of my firing.

Play the Weekly Brawl. Have some fun. Play around yourself.
Yes, people want to play around with the new character and buffed characters. This is not a surprise, everyone was expecting this.

Mmm, fair enough, though i find the new scheme intuitive. I'm on pc though.
Yeah, people won't play any hero not tweaked in the patch. Ana's sleep grenade fucking sucks. It seems like automatic death and just laying there for that long isn't fun at all. She's new, so I'm sure Im missing something, but goddamn
I never like the weekly brawls except for Mobawatch, which I am basically begging to be brought back as a permanent mode. I tried this one and it's the same problem I have with others: a limited hero selection exclusive to one group is not where the game shines. It's not that I resent that people are having fun with the new stuff, it's just that it isn't the kind of game I want to be playing right now. Granted, I'm considered somewhat weird, because I was going crazy over mobawatch while everyone else was "meh", but it's cool. It just means I need to take a small break. Which is probably good for me anyway, since this game has owned my life for the last few weeks.

You wake up immediately after taking 1 tickle of damage.
So don't play her if you have Winston on your team!
yeah its not hard to figure out this is not an ideal time to do ranked since a patch just dropped. In MOBAs you can ban new characters which helps a little (I hear Dota doesnt even allow new heroes in ranked at first). But since OW does neither you should just avoid ranked probably for at least 3 days unless for some reason you just gotta grind for yer golden guns
* In Smite- players cannot play a hero unless its 'mastered' (same with Heroes of the Storm now) but since OW has neither then you gotta avoid ranked for a little while. But I know many seems to have like 12 hrs a day to play so I'd imagine this idea seems incomprehensible

D.Va's Defense Matrix could use a 25% decrease, it should burn out like Pharah, right now it can be used ridiculously

If you're a squishy, it's pretty much an automatic death, but it is very hard to land on small characters. On tanks, they are likely to survive it, as they wake up after 1 hit - a hit that a tank or anyone with 250hp+ can survive.

Just play ranked.
It's mobawatch because randoms don't change characters to counterpick.
Wanna invite me to a group for QP fun? I'm on
Your topic sense and body paragraph are mismatched.

I moved it back to its previous location, to emulate past usage
I can't play right now, but maybe later.
I've played a total of 5 games in ranked. 2 of them were just laughable loses. One was a laughable win. I don't like matches where one team just steamrolls the other. I like it less when I'm on the receiving end, but it's not a good feeling when you're up against opponents that can't do anything either. One match was a good match that we happened to lose, but it was a gg. And the last one was one that was going good and I think we would have won if life hadn't interfered and forced me to leave early.
Small sample size, I know, but I'm just worried that ranked is going to drive me batshit if even half my games are just steamrolls

I just want to try the buffed Zen. I love the character and he's fun to play. He was always just in need of a buff, and I hope this will make a good difference.

Yeah I know it's early but I thought the DVa buff was fine on PC, on consoles she feels very difficult to take down now. Hm.
Are you still doing your placement matches? Ideally the experience should even out a bit once you're actually ranked. It's not perfect of course, Season 2 should be better.
Pharah's fuel lasts 2 seconds and takes 2 to fill, D.Va's shield lasts 4 seconds and takes 10 with a 1 second cooldown, it's not exactly "abusable".
I talked about this earlier, but there were two main things I loved about Mobawatch. One was that there was no hero stacking. Fuck that shit. The other, however, was one that surprised me: No record keeping of any kind.
I'm someone who really wishes they didn't care about stats, but I do, and it does nothing for me. For example, I was pretty happy when I got my winrate in QP up to 55%, but now after a string of losses, it's slowly going down, and that bums me out. Again, I wish it didn't, but those meaningless statistics somehow matter to me. So when discovered that Mobawatch doesn't track your W/L at all, for me, it was a huge burden off my mind. I could play how I want, practice how I want, experiment, without worrying about any kind of black mark on my record. Seriously, I'm pretty sure I played as well as ever (if not better), or atleast that's how it felt, and winning was as fun as ever, but losing didn't frustrate me at all, because you start off with a clean slate the very next game.
One of the biggest reasons I'm apprehensive against ranked is specifically because I will be ranked. People already complain about how bullshit the system is, but honestly, I just don't want to be discouraged by having the game show my rank just dropping. Just in terms of psychology, it doesn't sound like a pleasant experience whatsoever.

Just learn to battle through caring to not caring and then you'll ascend a higher plane of existence.
"Fuck my rankings i don't caaaaaaaare." - zenyatta
How do you do that in ranked, a mode designed for the more competitive users who intentionally want to maximize their efficiency? I mean, if I wanted to practice my Widow in Mobawatch, no big deal. But if I do that in Ranked, I'm essentially fucking over my entire team. So that brings into question whether or not I even should not care, even if I want to.
I will celebrate the day Mei gets nerfed as if it were the fourth of july and christmas combined.

Qp for practice and casual fun and ranked because the intensity of the matches makes it more fun. I care more about getting good matches than my rank, though of course i care about my rank too. I just try not to let it get to me and for the most part it doesn't.
Also mei is more likely to get buffed than nerfed. All defense heroes do. The power creep on damage and speed is quickly making most defense characters irrelevant.

Question for Mercy players on PC!
The recent balance notes indicate...
On PC, does this mean that there is essentially no cooldown for Guardian Angel with the latest patch? I was super-hyped to try it with the patch hitting PS4 today, and there's definitely still a 2-second cooldown after use.
Thanks if you can help!

- Guardian Angel instantly resets upon use

That's nothing.
I nano boosted a bastion... Who then ran into a corner to repair himself and then just waited around the corner in turret form.
She makes Mei way more valuable as you can freeze right through her field and ice wall the mech explosion.
No, the cooldown resets when using her ult so she can fly away immediately, that's what that note is referencing.

Ended up facing a team of 4 Meis abusing the Ice Wall bug while it was still active. Unfortunately, we immediately steamrolled them due to having 4/6 characters who could navigate over the wall like it was nothing. Karma.
As for Ana and the new buffs, I think they're pretty good. Only thing I might change is D.Va taking damage some damage from her Ult.
