I look forward to using D.va ult in response to Zarya's now

 

[pelicansurf]

Heals like half his health!

 

[Vooduu]

but it makes it interesting when people would launch the ult over hollywood's first point. or any building. i'm just going to walk in and drop it because of no suicide lol. which helps because they either run or kill me or die. either way someone is going to die

Even in competitive mode, launching from above rarely works because every just hears it coming and you're safe even standing behind a 2 inch wide pole (lol).

I've logged so many hours with D.Va before competitive mode and when CM launched, I basically just used Zarya as a tank because D.Va was too easy to counter. Even then, I relied less on the ult and more on the protective abilities and constantly harassing the front lines with her mobility and unlimited ammo.

This buff is heading into the right direction. D.Va is a tank and she needs to be able to do something to enhance that role. This is why Zarya is, IMO, the most used tank on competitive. Edit:Behind Roadhog at least lol.

 

[Kuro]

Is it me or is the anti aliasing a lot better in the PTR

 

[TWILT]

Yoooo D.Va can't be hurt by her own explosion sounds niceeee. Defense Matrix changes seem good too.

 

[backflip10019]

Whoa they're launching a character limit in competitive mode? Interesting how that'll play out.

And Bastion is now a tank??!?!

 

[optimus8936]

Road hog is a huge target and is fairly easy to kill. It makes sense that it would heal half his health.

"Competitive Play matches can now only have one of each hero per team. "

Oh, fuck me.

I DO NOT want to play competitive.

But I need the no stacking rule



Otherwise, I approve of all the changes. Good stuff. Especially mah girl. D.va

 

[Azoor]

Is Dva not being killed by her own Ult is a good idea though ? I mean wouldn't that just make her a little bit OP ?

I could use my ultimate to capture a point and see the pther runaway.

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

resolution scale might be on, check it

 

[Dead Prince]

boosting a hanzo before ult makes it faster to hit people when he ults.

bastion is actually the only tank in the game

If it's killing no one, might as well have an upside. You can't cap a point in 3 seconds on your own either.

 

[Rad-]

D.Va quick play strat. Multiple D.Vas all use their ult in a row while capping the point.

Doesn't seem OP.

Not really, it's pretty terrible right now, at least now she'll actually get some kills now and then.

dva stack is already strong if you catch the enemy off guard. pretty hard to stop on 2cp maps since you can bully your way into the first point before they can react then snowball it into ults on the 2nd point

Decided to start recording my Play of the Game/Matches, and this is my most recent.

Thoughts?

 

[backflip10019]

Wow they really buffed Zenyatta.

Winston would destroy her. Jump on mech drop bubble then kill baby dva before she can resuit. Save entire team. gg

 

[Vault Dweller 111]

So Roadhog need 45% more charge to get his ult, but gets it by self healing now? Not bad.

I can't tell if that 'hooks enemies from behind' bug fix is talking about an uncommon problem, or if it is a very poorly worded way to say that the very common hook bug where they are pulled to the side is now fixed. Any word on that?

 

[Nazo]

I just had a really strange match on Numbani.

Everyone just decided to not attack and just hang out on the payload. I lost the footage of the first half of the match because my PS4 decided not to record it.

it just forces everyone to go play Competitive. unsure if that's a good thing or bad (bad)

 

[Kuro]

Mccree back to op status now that he can two shot with his M1

 

[Redmoon]

Anyone try 21:9 yet? Does it add horizontal FOV, cut off vertical, or a bit of both?

Using custom resolution I have with the 21:9 ratio selected, it seems like the vertical FOV gets cut off (it looks zoomed in vs 16:9) Horizontal FOV is the same.

 

[Data West]

I bet the heal on those grenades gets nerfed before patch goes live.

 

[Dead Prince]

pee that heals. my life is complete.

 

[pelicansurf]

Man, Ana ULT-Boosted Genji Ult is absolutely groooooooss.

 

[JoeMartin]

New zen feels very good. Can't wait tbh.

I see your points, I need to play her to check it out.

 

[Modest Mauser]

This D.Va buff is pretty big

She's much harder to get rid of with defense matrix always at the ready

 

[Sou Da]

Just as expected every single Ana I've seen uses the young skins.

 

[Data West]

Shrike all the way

 

[Modest Mauser]

Merciful skin is the best

Do her young skins change her voice?

 

[mbpm1]

Just as expected every single Ana I've seen uses the young skins.

p. much

oh well

 

[optimus8936]

Apparently the Rapid Discord is more lenient with it's time, meaning you have a couple more seconds to get it.

Thank god.

 

[LiK]

Now she feels more like an actual tank instead of a variant of Tracer.

 

[Zeliard]

Yeah it's a nice way to boost her survivability without tweaking her health/shield values, and at the same time giving her more flexibility in denying ults and other big attacks, which only increases her skill ceiling.

 

[optimus8936]

I'm using the Wasteland skin, gives me Borderlands nostalgia. And since no one else will use it, I'll look unique!

 

[Sou Da]

Shrike all the way

I'm one of those jerks that don't like Destiny armor and enjoy color swaps so I took citrine

 

[Prelude.]

The no hood skin is pretty nice, I think she looks better without it.
Also it's kinda disappointing there's no Captain Amari skin with white hair, they lost a waifu material opportunity.

 

[Satch]

reinhardt with ana is HILARIOUS

 

[Plum]

As someone getting one before the weekend, 21:9 monitor support coming with the Ana update is amazing. Any idea of when the update will be out because I'm feeling like I might refrain from playing the game until then.

 

[Sou Da]

For all the anime jerks out there; her young skins with the shhh highlight is full creepmode.

 

[Data West]

Horus does look like an Imperial Guard though and that's pretty rad

 

[pelicansurf]

Just as expected every single Ana I've seen uses the young skins.

Gamers can't deny the booty.

 

[buy teh haloz]

This is a pretty sweet patch. I'll actually be able to play my boy Zenyetta in competitive now.

 

[Prelude.]

For all the anime jerks out there; her young skins with the shhh highlight is full creepmode.

Why? Isn't she wearing a space marine-like armor?

 

[Dead Prince]

what does it look like when ana puts you to sleep? from the other players POV

 

[Sou Da]

Why? Isn't she wearing a space marine-like armor?

It's still a spandex suit under a coat,

Spoiler

highlight gives you a face full of crotch.

Also Zenyattas are saving my life often.
