Great news. Biggest problem for me.
Anybody got any tips for Soldier 76? I understand how the hero works and all that but when I have to roll him in Comp I feel like I could be doing better.
I recently found out that his spray goes back down to 100% accuracy immediately after you stop firing, which is unique from other games where there is usually a delay. Any other tips like this?

Me too. I have like 2200 gold and yet I dont want to spend it yet. It helps that I've gotten some great legendaries already like both of Pharahs and one of Symettras I really like. I also have goth Zarya but I dont like that one.
Apparently, it may not have been fixed or there's issues with Blizzard's fix. People are still getting the winners penalty due to leavers.
I missed this news. Awesome.
I've killed and played with my share of Bad Hanzos - like anyone, but...
Last week I was Mercy, attacking on Gibraltar. We wipe most of the reds and my team begins moving the payload to the first point, but a Zenyatta drops from the small building, throws discord on me and I draw my blaster. I hold him off but can't kill him before he sweeps into cover and emerges while popping his ult. I let my health regen, and when Transcendence ends I put him down.
Felt awesome.
After we clear the second point, same deal, but this time it's a Junkrat who drops from the walkway above as the doors close and my team moves ahead. I pull my blaster, we dance, he dies.
Felt awesome, hit the share button, and later I cut it into some highlight clips.
When I killed the Zenyatta, I was dinging headshots after his ult ended, but watching the footage I finally see it was a scatter arrow that really made the difference.
When I killed the Junkrat, you can barely see the streak of the arrow that cut across him as he died.
That Hanzo saved my bacon twice, and I'd had no idea.
And yesterday I watched a Widowmaker drop from her sniper spot to contest an objective.
There are some awesome exceptions out there.

Well, they are addressing it so they will fix it eventually at least.

I feel like I'm finally getting a grasp on Pharah. This is way too fun.

Are you using the Sony Gold headset? Check the Chat volume slider if so. I would see people talking but could not hear them because I had the chat volume turned all the way down.
They did. Never captured it tho. Altho we were playing Comp and we lost after 3 rounds so maybe that's the reason. Will try again in QP.
Ok, thanks

Changing his reticle from the default crosshairs to a circle really helped for me.
PC will have way more people playing, but also more shit in chat (which you can disable anyway), and gets patches a lot earlier too.
Change crosshair to dot.
Games are often, but not always, decided by the best healer. One team will have a player pick Mercy/Lucio, whilst the other team have none (even with Zen, I repeat, none) and squabble until someone does pick a healer, in which this healer does a begrudging performance.
These days I feel relieved to see someone select a healer straight away. It's my number one worry when I enter a lobby. Hopefully Sombra solves the shortage.
Options.

Is the ESL tourney done or is it still going? If so, when does it start back up?

Yes, it's in the control settings. There's a drop down list with custom options for each character. The crosshairs for Solider 76 were really throwing me off, changing that made a huge difference.
They already confirmed that Sudden Death will be removed and replaced with another system in the Fall Season.
One possible replacement could be the Time Bank method that's already in place on Assault Maps.
Thank god.
Well Stopwatch is not a great choice either. It pushes you to play certain heroes / team comps more than others. But yeah, it's still easily better than the current one.

I'd like to see blizzard introduce a second KOTH game type where you can only score while a teammate is on the point, scoring is faster the more teammates and contesting stops scoring.
It depends on what hero they stack, the skill level of the team, and if you have someone on your team that has the necessary skills to counter them.
edit: It also seems that hero stacking is a bigger problem on consoles than on PC.
Nice, thank you for the info!

I feel like you seriously need a reaper or bastion on sudden death defense now though, because most people seem to try to cheese with stacked tanks.
Huh. I was dealin' with a 2 Zarya team yesterday and consciously didn't go Bastion to counter because I've successfully gone Zarya to counter Bastion >.< I was like "no that could never work" lol
it sucks during round 3 in sudden death when the enemy team gets defense so they just stack torbs and bastions. people go in and find out what the team setup is and by the time you try again, you barely have time to capture the point again. so not fun after those hard fought earlier rounds.
