None of the supports really shine at getting heals around to those quick flankers. Those guys have extreme mobility anyway. They can get their own health packs and tracer can rewind damage. Neither of those classes should be spamming "heal plz"

Pharah? Mei? McCree? Winston? Zarya? All common-ass names.

I'm not worried about the sleep grenade thing, it little says any damage will wake you up. You would have to get killed in a single blow for that to be an issue (or get hit when surrounded by enemies and no abilities to escape).

Nope. It'll be up on the PC PTR only.
I'm basically wondering if ana can sleep you then get a headshot on your sleeping body for a kill.
Combo is pretty much the same as mccree/mei/junkrat combos

A six-second sleep will definitely get nerfed. But that skill will punish over-extenders.
Considering her damage and healing skills (both at the same time with her grenade) I think this is really going to hurt Zenyatta in just about every way, even with his incoming buffs.
I like the D.Va and Mercy changes. I wish they'd come back to McCree and make him viable again for console players. And I still think Reaper's ult needs a delay between when he announces it and when it starts firing.

I wonder if Anas ult can stack with Mercys damage boost and Lucios speed boost. That would be insane.
2 new hero teasers? The part where it shows the old picture.
Still sounds pretty powerful considering you can disable one enemy off the fight for a short while. Like disabling Zarya or Reinhardt so they can't put up shields etc.
It's a dart projectile though. Not sure how easy it will be to hit or how forgiving it'll be.
Putting tanks to sleep will probably be the easiest. Not sure if it really counters flankers unless you have godlike aim
I was gonna say. Lol. "Winston".

DIE DIE DI...
SLEEP TIGHT REAP TIGHT.
Also Biotic grenade + Lucio Ult on that final push... Kreygasm.
I still think baiting him into a trap is way funnier. Everyone come build your ults! lmao
Because there are so many already...

I suspect the range is short. Useful for interrupting ults or giving yourself some breathing room if you're focused by a flanker, but you're not going to shut teams down with it.
I'm guessing it counts as a projectile and Zarya/Reinhardt shields stop the sleep dart. So will Genji's deflect, D.Va's defense matrix, etc.
The fact that there are any in an FPS is too many.
Pharah carries her up
They'll be complaining for the young/masked alt skin anyway.

it probably won't. the comp mode during PTR wasn't long enough to realize some issues when they released it.

i'm sure the fanart thread will soon be flooded if it's not already.

True. It definitely remains to be seen.
I play D.Va really aggressively and I think this skill will be a nightmare for that. Fly in to skirmish so my team can break through behind me, get sleeped, team backs off, dead.
Think of what happens right now when a Mei extends too far and then pops her Ice Block. 3 or 4 players just sit there licking their lips, waiting for it to end, and when she finally thaws, there isn't enough bunny-hopping in the world that can save her.
This will work similarly to that.
The character looks super cool and I can't wait to see what she'll do to the meta.
As soon as I saw it I knew I had to have it
not even half a day.

My thoughts exactly
Also can't wait for the ResidentSleeper emotes whenever she uses on stream
I mean, the whole development time + beta + release and they're just now saying they're looking at Overtime, so it kinda varies based on the problem I guess
not even half a day.

Hold up, did Reinhardt (w/Ana's ult) just one shot Zarya? Was she low on health, or is it a super buff (more than Mercy's 30% damage buff)?
Also, I knew her ultimate wasn't going to be some kind of AoE heal/revive. I thought she herself was going to do damage but that's not the case, she just damage boosts.

Trust me, the fact that people can be revived in an FPS is also not cool. Also the fact that winston auto aims in an FPS is not cool.
Shit, i think overwatch is a hero game

what's interesting is that you have to communicate with your team if you going to boost a player. can't just randomly shoot someone expecting them to know what to do.
I bet if I randomly boost a Winston with ult, it probably works out
welcome to the life of a zarya and her team shields

Not really, they should have visual cues to know they are boosted, like Mercy boost, Zen heal and Zarya shield.
It's all about ulting someone at the right time as opposed to ulting someone aloof and expecting them to get to work lol

but will it make his ult stronger? for all we know it'll only boost non ulted people.
i mean yeah but they have to alert someone they about to boost them. so that player can go in to do damage. like above zarya throws a shield bubble. most players i see just stand there or hide (and i don't mean because they are low HP)
I always feel bad when i get Zarya shielded but i had my Reinhardt barrier up. "I didn't know this is what we were doing" i say to myself since i have no mic...
