POTG as D.Va on Lijang Tower, 22 elims 0 deaths. Leveled up and got a loot box. Inside was Lucio's Hippity Hop skin. Aww. Yiss. I play so much better as D.Va on PC than PS4 it's not even funny.

what's the difference? aiming with D.Va doesn't seem to need to be super precise.

 

[brian!]

I imagine hs rate increases and flying is more responsive (you can fly like a total spazz on pc since the turns are pretty instant, good for bming over the payload while you win)

I also assume he has more accuracy with Zero Suit D.Va.

 

[RespectThySole]

Meanwhile, whenever I play Ana I focus on healing because allies are easier to hit ┐(￣ー&#65507┌
I even forget about the sleep dart. But I'll get there.



*brofist*

This Ana put me to sleep and then emoted earlier lol Got her down to one shot when I got up, but then she nanoboosted Rein while I was reloading and yeah...

good points

Tracking with D.Va is crucial, as you wanna be up in people's faces if you're going to make any impact whatsoever with your cannons and at close range people are spazzing all over the place to avoid you.

D.Va plays really, really well with M+KB.

 

[brian!]

Lets b real tho, im on pc and im just jumping around like a lunatic outside of the mech spamming shots, i might as well be using a controller

 

[LiK]

i'm alright with Zero Suit D.Va on PS4. sometimes i can outshoot a Tracer if i'm not tired.

 

[Anne]

Yeah, with Zero Suit D.Va I just put he cursor at head height and hold down M1 most of the time.

 

[KiraFA37]

I was playing Ana a few times the past few days and I generally do a decent job at keeping people I can see topped up, but I'm awful with hitting the sleep dart (tho I landed a few clutch ones before), and nobody eeeeeeever coordinates with me.
I tell the Genji I have my ult, he has his ult, Genji runs away and swords someone on the other side of the map.
I tell the tank I have my ult, they have their ult, they run away and don't let me boost them to push.

Seriously, the only people I reliably can nanoboost are D.Vas or Hanzos. Everyone else just runs away from me.

Have Anna ult? Playing solo? Just target the nearest tank and watch. If they are somewhat good they'll go on the offensive, a Reinhardt with nanoboost is scary.

i saved a clip where i killed a Nanoboosted Rein as Junkrat. so many grenades while running away, lol

Pretty much what they said. M+Kb feel really good for me compared to a controller. Maybe it helps that I got her summer skin as well. Makes me feel stronger, lol.

the problem with sleeping someone is what to do for the next 5 seconds if no one is around to finish the kill, since shooting would wake them immediately. i guess emoting is one way to solve that lol

i'm lousy with the sleep dart, except for ulting Pharahs. JUSTICE RAINS FROzzzzZZzzZZZzzz

 

[Red Arremer]

For some reason nobody ever picks Reinhardt when I pick Ana. Don't ask me why.
And yes, I always try to nanoboost the tanks or Genji/Reaper if they have their ults available.

I was playing on Hollywood attack and nanoboosted a Roadhog and also healed him to near top (at which point I tried to heal someone else) and he stopped dead in his tracks behind cover to heal up the like 50 health he had left over. By that time the boost wore off. -.-

This week's meta report backs up basically everything I said yesterday, but it also comes with a nice chart. https://www.overbuff.com/blog/2016-08-11-overwatch-hero-tier-list-and-meta-report-don-t-panic

Ana slightly has been increasing in usage as well. Interesting.

Having nearly every single DVA shot close range register as a "plink plink plink" is something that can only be done with precise aim.

Wait, MARCY isn't used ?!

I've seen a lot of competitive teams have her and whatnot.

 

[Laputa_94]

I really hate the highs and lows this game has where you can be doing great then before you know it your losing every match and can do nothing about it.

same.

you up for any games tonight?

 

[Anne]

That was a couple patches ago. After she got nerfed and Zen got buffed, she fell off a cliff.

Sucks cause Mercy is one of my faves :<

Yeah I can do that.

Yeah, but I can't possibly believe she is the LAST !

Interestingly enough the first six characters also form a pretty good general composition!

this made me laugh more than it should have

 

[pelicansurf]

When 2 supports are auto-includes, by default, Mercy will NEVER be picked.

Pretty interesting. How to get double lucio boost at the beginning of the round.
Never knew about this.

 

[LuffyZoro]

Recently I got a pentakill with D.Va's ult. It was at the final point on Volskya, a Roadhog acidentally hooked the mech that I had mortered in and pulled it directly into the middle of their group.

Zen is everywhere on PS4. Mercy usage has dropped in my experience, but I still pick her.

No love for Hanzo

 

[TheLetdown]

Might be able to get our super trio up and running again tonight if payoff is around

Yeah! Let's do it.

The power trio shall be feared by all.

 

[LiK]

Who's in the super trio and I want to be the 4th. I agree that partial groups do better. Full groups get us matched up with insane high ranked dudes.

 

[Gurrry]

Nothing like getting 2 games in a row with a team mate pairing with a 22 mmr and then the very next game having a person who only plays Hanzo and nothing else.

This game man.

 

[Anne]

I think most people have found that having 2-3 people in a group right now is the best way to have a good chance at winning while also dodging any super groups for the most part.

 

[AngryMoth]

Anyone on ps4 (EU) wanna group up? Right now I'm playing about 50% Zen, 25% DVa and 25% Genji. No mic right now although I am thinking of getting one for this game

 

[LiK]

Lesson learned. We found it comical with the high 70's and Top 500 groups we got matched up against. At least we barely lost any XP. I also liked seeing their strats. A Top 500 guy was playing as Symm.

 

[I-hate-u]

Zen can be nerfed (discord), but Lucio will always be played. How would you nerf him without completely killing his tool kit?

He seems super balanced to me. I only find his wallriding annoying.

He is not broken, but yet he is picked 100% of the time in competitive. He is the best hero in the game.

I was a Lucio believer since day one. Great hero.

 

[xaosslug]

instead of potentially nerfing Zenny's discord, they should just let you be able to remove it with a health pack or something.

 

[KiraFA37]

Woot got my first olympic skin! Its the tricolore for widow a character I never play. I hope the Dva one drops for me before the event ends.

 

[ohkay]

It's the fact that he's useful on both offense and defense thanks to his tools, and he can escape fairly well if pressure is placed on him.

 

[pelicansurf]

It already disappears after you dip behind a wall. What difference would it make that it disappears when you get a health pack if he can just reapply it again as soon as you are in LOS.

 

[zoukka]

In a game where high mobility reigns supreme, a hero that can buff your whole teams mobility is gud.

 

[Anne]

Alter speedboost. I've said it many times before, I'll say it again. Speeboost giving 30% passive and 110% amped is too much. Reduce that by a wide margin and see what happens. If it does somehow make him unplayable (I doubt that it will) then we can better understand how to work with his tools. His speedboost has never been touched so we don't know enough about how he works without it being stupid strong.

That was such a free post, I'm so sorry.

but the problem with it, imo, is that unless you are Zarya peeps feel helpless/useless when it happens, if a universal way to remove it became available I think peeps would be able to deal better.
