Lol love what Seagull said in his
Hanzo Cyberbully video
"They did this to our Genji boys, then they created this monster in its place. There always must be a shimada brother"
😂😂

Hes a pro player so it makes something that is broken seem worse, but I don't think it'll be too too different in the levels we play with hanzo's running around getting bullshit shots off. Like they cannot let this go through, it will mess up the game. The community was much happier after the hitboxes were changed in the Ana patch.
Is this Hanzo really broken though? I think it was Seagull that said that he doesn't believe Hanzo will get that high of a pick rate even after this in pro matches. Like it will improve but still nowhere near McCree levels.

Broken, maybe not. And of course not on the same level as McCree post-FTH nerf patch.
But he's insanely powerful now. He will definitely make an impact on high level play, even if it isn't 90+% pick rate.
However, what is worse is that he will make low/mid level play all the more frustrating. There will be a swarm of Hanzo players in Quick Play, many of which will not do the objective and just sit in their corners and blindly spam arrows to get random headshot kills. It already was bad enough before the hitbox change, it even was pretty bad on live right now, but it's only going to get worse.

Pharah, Zarya, Dva
Junk can't reach Pharah
Zarya will get free charges off Junks grenades + can shield
Dva can approach with DM safely
A Hanzo meta is worse than Genji meta.
Quick Play feels like an entirely different game from Competitive, in a bad way. Wish it didn't take 3 weeks for the second season to start. 
I need to scratch the itch, but Quick Play feels like such an absolute waste of time. AFKs, leavers, trolls, no healers, multiples of worthless champs, etc, etc, etc. Meh

No NRG in this tourney?
Assuming when we refer to meta we're referring to the meta defined by tournament pick rates, we aren't going to see a Hanzo meta. My bet is Tracer becomes a standard pick on every map/situation, with Reaper/McCree/Hanzo competing for the other dps slot. But i think that McCree's pick rate on defense specifically drops significantly as he's replaced by Hanzo in that role.

PTR is here for you.
I play on console
Quick Play or bust, for now. It's still fun with friends, got a group of 5 together last night, but solo queue is blaaaaaaaah

Sounds like competetive to me.

RIP in peace
It's not like Competitive was some bastion of everyone having good team comps and playing the objective, but it was still drastically different from QP.
Finally, finally decided to get a real keyboard and stop struggling with this tiny bluetooth thing. hilariously it's taking my fingers a lot of time to adjust to having normal distances between the movement keys and C/V/T/etc
That keyboard looks as thick as a piece of paper. Good idea to swap to a larger one.
I've actually been having quite a bit of fun in QP. Without the threat of losing rank points it's far less stressful and I don't really give a shit if we have a bad team comp or teammates aren't doing the objective. Just using it as a chance to practise some of my lesser played heroesQuick Play feels like an entirely different game from Competitive, in a bad way.

Why not L1?
I use L2 for Genji and Reaper. I feel comfortable with it now and i like jumping with a trigger. But problem is that I never use the push ability because i always forget. And I get muddled with healing/speed boost because of my set up. I think it's down to lack of practice.
I struggled with Genji's set up initially until I played 7-8 hours with him.

Oh man, start the day with back to back Zarya wins, get switched to the opposing team, get two more. fellsgoodman.jpg
Been using her off and on for a week and I can definitely notice the improvement.

Not ideal at all. It's basically impossible to use Genji/Lucio effectively without mapping jump to L1/L2. Plus being able to jump on consoles makes it easier to evade enemy fire significantly imo.
I call bullshit that you can't spam voice lines more than 5 times on ps4. I wanna be able to say "a-mei-zing" ad-infinum goddamit!
edit: haha well regarding the L3 thing jump needs to be somewhere where you don't need to take your thumbs off the sticks and I like having all my abilities on the shoulder buttons. Works for me I guess ¯\_(ツ_/¯

Jealous. Since the buff I've managed to move up from the Top 90-92% to the Top 97% but its a real struggle to make any forward progress now. Still, feels damn good regardless.

Ultimates in general charge way too fuckin fast in this game. It's absurd.

Maybe, but they aren't exactly game breaking. Most ults that can wipe you out can also be countered pretty easily.
Another reason Dragonblade was op. You CAN counter it but it's much harder than countering a death blossom or tactical visor.
I won a game as Hanzo my body is ready for buffs.
I remember the good old days when people said Genji was UP and his Ult was too hard to use compared to Q-and-wipe ults other people have.

I seriously hate Widowmaker in the hands of anyone who is not amazing as her. It is like being permanently down someone.

It was there in the beta. I know because I remember maxing it out as soon as I started.
Especially those who loiter around the map like som sort of tourist.
FaZe Clan picked up the team that was gonna be Immortals

And I didn't get any proof of it and it seems it's the only stat that doesn't get tracked. Wah-hey.
Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat's snipers.
I mapped jump to l3 and I do pretty well with genji and lucio on ps4
I've got my try hard SCUF controller with jump on a paddle, thank goodness

Yeah, just steamrolled a team on KotH with two Widows. In the game chat afterward:
Teammate: "Your first problem was having 2 Widowmakers"
Me: "And your second problem was having 1 Widowmaker"
I'm starting to feel the same way about Ana, too. Seems like whenever there's one on my team, and especially when they're the sole healer, it's inevitably a loss.
