They reduced the base damage from 15 to 12, so a fully charged body shot deals 120 damage, but her headshot damage remains the same (as they changed the critical hit multipliers accordingly).
Hearing "NERF THIS" after a buff where I can literally run to where the mech is going and not die now is so wonderful.

Actually got a quintuple kill with it which was wonderful.
And no, i didn't emote like an asshole.

Clearly, she saw my amazing D.Va play and realized she had to be my pocket booster.
Plus you got a quad kill without her so I guess it worked out in the end?
Then you were doing it wrong.
I wouldn't have been able to resist at least using the "IS THIS EASY MODE?!" voice line.

I don't think you can actually hear voice lines in PotG or killcams.
Yeah, but just for my own amusement.

I get no amusement unless I am causing pain to others.
It's the only way to survive in this world.
I am trying VERY hard to be understanding that Ana's the new hot shit and people want to play around with the class. But it gets just....stupid when there are 3 snipers hanging back, and we're all on offense. I mean, fine, people are trying to have their fun, I need to go to Comp if I actually want to play with anything resembling competency. Because it's a dichotomy apparently. Either I play with people who don't know or don't care about which end of the controller to hold, or I play with Reinhardts that crush my testicles under their hammers. Either I deal with people who make a match impossible to win or I deal with mode that kills atleast 30% of the fun of the game for me.
This isn't, obviously, how it literally goes down. I'm not ALWAYs matched with team of people who stack and I'm not completely helpless in comp, but it is basically an exaggerated version of the dilemma I feel. There was a Genji that was just SUPER better than my Genji, and a pharah that simply could not be shut down. And I'm not evne placed yet, but I have played seven of the 10 placement matches and I see that stupid fucking bar pop up that tells me I lost 5 of the seven matches. I'm not walking away from matches thinking "Oh, that was fun". It's either "holy shit, thank god we won, that was close" or "Fuck, we just got destroyed" or very rarely "Wow, these guys had no chance" which accounts for atleast one of the wins I have. Of those 7 matches, only 2 I would say were ones in which I just enjoyed myself.
Honestly, by all accounts, the match I just played wasn't even a bad match. It was close, we lost by a narrow margin. But the fact remains, Comp just makes me angry. It demands high level play, and that's great, but when I'm constantly being shut down fairly constantly, it's not fun, it's stressful. Even if I had won the match we just did, I don't think I'd walk away saying I enjoyed it, just relieved that we made it.
I just a casual setting where team composition isn't utterly and completely fucked. Is that so much to ask?

Is competitive unplayable now because of Mei's fuckery with her ice walls? I want to play comp because quick play is 4 Ana's per team, which works but gets a bit boring. It's really bad when a new character comes out and now overwatch becomes "Reinhardt, Pharah and 4x Ana the game" or "Mei's ice age the game"
Hmm... Impressive. Good job blizzard.
I should probably mention I am one of those Anas lol
Hmm... Impressive. Good job blizzard.
Based on most video games with online multiplayer and character abilities, yes.
The Mei bug has already been fixed.
Well, imo, they managed it with last week's weekly brawl. It was pretty much exactly what I wanted and now that it's gone....I just really want it back.
these past 3 matches have made me accept that im just not meant to play competitive, at least solo q
first match: 2 people being super toxic and saying they were carrying the team and calling other people fucktards for their hero choice. didn't even get a card at the end of the game LOL
second match: people not playing objectively and feeding the enemy team. playing as rein. ask for a healer. "you switch" ? ? ? ? ?
third match: i swear, people didn't even know what their hero does. the zarya on my team didn't pop a shield one. solider barely attacking the enemy team. widow on attack on route 66 ? ? ? ? ? ?
i'm only rank 38 so I know i'm not amazing but ohhhhh myyy goddddd how can people be so terrible, or not open to feedback? SIGH

even from playing the game yesterday, I hope people get Ana outta their systems soon. Too many double or triple Anas in QP. wish people just went into Brawl for their Ana practice.
Also, when playing QP against groups last night, it seems some teams like to use Ana's Ult with Genji's Ult. Seems effective but I think I encountered two separate teams who did that. Must be some meta shit.

Played mei on anubis defense and watched an enemy reaper try flanking to the left twice. emoted in his face after i froze him and shot an icecicle into his face each time.
Delicious. Only beaten by executing frozen Tracers at point-blank.
wait, symmetra got nerfed?
30% less turret damage.

Hanzo just got nerfed from the hitbox changes, he doesn't need another nerf. He is already in Bastion and Mei tier of usefulness in comp., he gets another nerf, he will be even more useless than them.
very weird to lump her with torbjorn on consoles. i'm guessing blizzard provided no commentary on the nerf? 1hp turrets and now doing 30% less damage for a character that is already chosen very situationally seems really off.
Yes. 720p on mid should do 60fps on this. Can also set Texture Filter to 8x and SMAA to high. If you go low settings for super stable framerate, dont forget to set render scale to 100% because otherwise it's blurry af in 720p.

Think I'm going to stay away from rank until ana settles down and at least give them time to get decent with her
With that I need to work on my ult with hanzo. Got to work on how to set up and where to shoot it

Right? Makes zero sense. You also never die to them unless you're dumb and just sit there and let them laser you to death. They don't have any range like Torb's turrets.

She's a sniper whose kit relies on coordination. ETA on most people getting decent with her = never.
They really need to fix that Winston achievement for destroying 10 deployables in one life and change it to a single game because I don't see how that is even possible now if no one is going to use Symmetra (who was in my top 5 most played characters).her turrets are only ever really effective for hyper mobile characters like genji and tracer, but this nerf practically removes her viability on consoles. the path is closed.

The Symmetra nerf is definitely baffling. Her turrets might as well not be in the game now.

or enough time where they stop playing her unless they are all rank 60+ playerslol
yea, sentry turrets are nothing more than a distraction now.

So tried being more aggressive to meis
Shoutout to all of you who informed me to stop wimping out as Reaper, Mei's don't really stand a chance
Being aggressive as Reaper is so much fun. I had a match attacking on Hollywood last night where I went 17-0 as Reaper and just kept utterly annihilating the enemy team. Our Ana nanoboosted me right as I teleported up to deal with a Bastion - he was dead before he could switch to turret form. It was one of those matches where the enemy team must have hated me because even I felt like I was everywhere at the exact right time.
Reaper is one of the few characters I play in-your-face with and actually succeed. Most of the time I'll hang back and escort the payload, but with Tracer, Reaper, and now D.Va, I love just getting right in the middle of the enemy team and just wrecking shit.

How exactly do you be defensive as reaper?
In a tiny way.
Heavy Pulse Rifle
Spread recovery will begin after a short delay (rather than instantly)
Tactical Visor
Ultimate cost increased by 10%
To balance out the ultimate cost, self-healing also adds to the ultimate charge now.

Why did they nerf Symmetra on console? wtf

Yeah, it takes longer to recover the spread after firing, so you can't do the 4 burst shooting anymore.
And the ult charge, but self healing charges that now.

That's stupid. If you can't turn in time to take them out before you die, you weren't paying attention to the loud laser sounds in your face.

That's not really the point of symmetra's turrets though really. They're not meant to kill you, they're meant to distract and slow you down for others to kill you.
