I don't think that's possible. It still goes through it, iirc. Only stops the players.

I thought they'd changed it? I swear lately ice walls have stopped the payload, albeit temporarily.

Did....do you not even read above? vvvvv
Really? Hm, may have likely been just enemy players being around it in my last game. Don't know how it could've happened otherwise.
It's not, the payload will go through. The only time it stops if is someone contests it out it's waiting for doors to open

Yep, this. If her ice block was stopping the payload, it's because she or her team was also close enough to contest.
And on the subject of aimbots and hacks, what the fuck is the point? Is it even fun to play with those?
This isn't like wanting to push through the levels of Contra but the 2nd player keeps dragging you down so you need the Konami code.
The only enjoyment in this game is in the wild scenarios that occur when you're trying to outplay someone else. How would an aimbot still give you that excitement?

Some people primarily derive enjoyment from winning in games, rather than from a challenge. I don't find it completely unreasonable (I'm sort of the same way), but ruining the game for others in the process isn't okay in my opinion.

I've lost the last 8, and I think that is the straw that broke the camel's back. The game has ceased to be fun. I'm going to take a break for a few months, maybe permanently.
I thought it was just Overbuff that fucked up, but it's actually Overwatch itself that thinks I played 9 hours of Zenyatta in competitive, when I used him only for 9 matches.
Really? You shouldn't have enough time to do that, I assumed it applies a micro-stun to the tire like it does to the enemies since it never happened to me.

Yea, I killed some Roadhogs with it before when they hooked it. I thought they were sacrificing themselves. Lol
I guess the stun sometimes doesn't work. Not surprised if that happens cuz the hook is wonky sometimes.

I love the stacking, fun, carelessness, etc. of QP. The solution is not to change it, the solution is to make 'Mobawatch' an all the time playlist. Especially in the down time between competitive seasons.

Someone did this to my DVA ult and killed his whole team. The POTG was hilarious. I send my DVA ult into the volskaya choke in point 2, everyone runs away and all of a sudden my robot gets yanked of-screen and "team kill".
So good.
Anyone else trying to make a determination to play other heroes than the ones their best at?
I have 5 hours on D.Va, and less than an hour on most other heroes in Comp. I LOOOOOOOOOOOVE D.Va, but I don't like I default back to her just because she's the hero I play best with. I just feel I have to because often there is a tank missing.
Should I worry that my rank is going to go to shit because of this?

If this game had more characters (30 would probably be minimum), we could even do a hero draft mode which would be sweet.

I feel ranked is where you play the characters that you're the best at, while quick play is where you go to polish your skills/goof off. Otherwise, what's the point of risking rank playing characters you're not good at?
Haha those defender numbers. Also, soldier and junkrat need to be switched, it's hurting my brain
really wish the game had a dress up mode where I could mix and match outfits from a character that I have. Or at the least heads cause D.va in b.va and junebug have the worst head
You should always strive to have a main and two alts for Comp, imo. so if someone happens to take your main hero, you have someone to fall back on. You may not be the best with your alt but at least you won't be useless and struggling with a hero you barely play.
Still pisses me off when people play Ana in Comp cuz most of them suck with her.

I view QP as TERRIBLE as a practice mode. It's easy to actually get to know how a character controls on an individual level, but how they work within a team is the more important part. QP is especially bad when the other team has a halfway idea of what their doign while yours doesn't, and since this is a team game, no matter how you play, you get wrecked playing.
Oh, I'm decent with a few other heroes, so that's not the problem. I'm just absolutely best at D.Va, and I fall back on her because she's the one I KNOW I can bring it with.
I been getting into a weird situation lately in ranked where the supports are selected first...and I'm stuck trying to figure out which offense character I'm "decent" at since all I usually play is support/tanks.
This. I've been trying out Ana recently and I enjoy playing as her, but when I play comp I pick Zen or Mercy when our team needs a healer because in comp wins matter and those are the two healers that I'm best with. I would never pick a hero that I suck with for comp, that's what QP is for.

I would say have a main role where you can pick diff heroes depending on comp situation, with some flex picks outside of that. If you put all your play into one hero then you risk losing it to meta or counter comps or all kinds of things. If you only have a couple flexes it might not be good enough.

Symmetra's turrets are a joke now, there's almost no point in putting in them down. Even a group of 6 does barely any damage. Why Blizz?

I've noticed they're only useful when you group them in clusters of 3 or more to inflict real dmg. You can't spread them out anymore and have them be effective. They just tickle you now. Shitty nerf that made her way less effective. Horrible decision when she's rarely played already.
I think everyone can agree that the console nerf to Symmetra was completely uncalled for. She's already one of the least used characters in the game, and her turrets already weren't that threatening on their own.
Total fuck-up on Blizzard's part.
I know LG Overwatch were struggling but this seems extreme.

She was only nerfed on console.
Latest console patch. Her turrets do 30% less damage. Only on console though.
Weird that it took this long to announce. Seagull said weeks ago that there's something happening but he can't talk about it yet. I wonder if they are going to go to Shaq's team.
The contracts were going to be up anyways, and other orgs are scouting Seagull and friends anyways. I think they'll be alright, they're still a top 5 NA team after all. Willing to bet they already have some possibilities lined up they have to finalize and get to.

I'm pretty sure Seagull said that the contract with LG expired or something and they decided to part ways. Who knows, this could be a good thing for them.
I'm willing to bet this ends up being a good thing for the ones that are staying on.
Hell, could be good for all parties.

Mmmm been too long since I did any solo queues. Had a guy yelling at me for "letting" three of them die when when they were in Zarya's ult so I could get a potg rez, like I could have out-healed the whole enemy team shooting at them, or even gotten close enough to heal without getting sucked into the ult.
Solo queue is just some good livin'

You can be honest with us here. This is a safe space.
You totally let them die for the rez.
