I'm surprised. Today I have found myself really loving Zenyatta. Not only is it fun to heal your team mates, and makes enemies weaker, but his ultimate is epic in every sense of the word, making your allies invincible for a few seconds.
And I can relate to this character. He meditates like myself, the sayings he comes with are accurate, and it's total buddhism when playing in Nepal. Love this character.

If you don't post it here, post it in the Sombra thread or start a new one for it.
Oh? Can you elaborate?
If you have the time, hop into a custom game wander around the Nepal map as a spectator, you'll appreciate all the details and atmosphere they created.

Is your critique that "it's gone on far too fucking long?" Because that's where I'm at.
You get quite a bit more rank points per win with 1-3 party than with 4-6 party. Also when you queue in a 2-3 party you get often put against solo queue people where as when you queue with full group you can get put against very coordinated teams.
Personally I think 3 is the golden number but 2 is great as well.

Zen's lines are deadpan hilarious. I particularly love when the payload timer runs low:
"Time is an illusion... But the illusion is about to run out."
I'll probably post it here honestly. Though if it gets too crazy long It'll be its own thread.
Partly, most of my criticism is mostly for the content and mechanics of the ARG overall.
I'll do just that next time I boot up the game! Just read his backstory too. This character is clicking with me for sure.
Yeah, some touches there! Haven't noticed that line yet.
What are emotes by the way? Ways to express oneself for fun?
I was planning on practicing for season 2 in quick play with characters I'm not too good with but wow, I took about a week off and it's just awful, 0 supports ever, multiple Mei's on attack, etc, ugh. Don't think it's even worth it, sucks that the next season is still a couple weeks off.
all those nerfs in PTR will be quite welcomed when it goes live.
do what i do, just practice the abilities and feel for the other heroes. QP is a mess and just gotta do what you can.
i think Torb is still viable on console. Just depends on turret placement along with how the actual player plays. I wish Symm had her turrets return to their former glory.

Why does Zenyatta have a different voiceline from enemy zenyatta when you sue your ult, isn't it the same normally, and then friendly heroes use a different one?
So you can tell the difference. It happens with all heroes in the game.
Daria Morgendorffer

No I mean, for every hero, you as the player, hear the same voicline as when an enemy hero uses his ult. But with Zenyatta you hear the line that normally only your teammates would hear

Not quite all. "Molten core!" and "Hammer down!" are the same, and I think Winston and Bastion are the same, too?
Daria Morgendorffer

Yeah I meant for the characters that do have differences, some are the same for either team.

I no longer buy the whole rhetoric about how it takes a really, really good player to make Genji a beast, otherwise he's nothing. It's just something that enough people have said enough times that it just continues to be said. It may have been true in the earlier days, but everyone knows the maps, the characters' chemistry and health pack placements by now.
I've knocked down multiple triple kills with Genji's ult. I'm as mediocre as it comes at playing him. I have like 2 hours total and I can still find a target that strayed too far, toss a few rounds of shurikens and then use the dash ability that does a decent chunk of damage while being basically un-fuck-up-able.
Man this sitting arrangement is pretty awkward in this tourney xD

"Lucio Places Really Low"
Lucio is my most played hero.
It all makes sense now.
Lol.
Love me some ARGs. Looking forward to it!

Well I just remember I started the ult, got 2 kills and Mei's ult happened and I managed to get another 3 but I'm guessing I used swift strike/didn't get the killing blow. That sucks
Yeah now that I've learnt Genji a bit better, I think he does need toning down on console and not even because of Dragon blade. I absolutely suck with it and usually end up with 1 kill. But my general play with Genji is starting to net me 18-20 eliminations with 4-5 deaths. And I know I'm not even playing great half the time. It's just so easy to escape a losing battle and to chip away in high positions/behind.

I was playing Rein and I told my team "If I see an opening I'm going in. Zen keep me orbed and follow me in, then Lucio just follow up. If I see you getting stuck in wide open doorways..."
We barely won that round, even though I charged the point twice when Lucio and Zen had ults, yet they never used them to get to the point and stay with me.
Ironically we won because I charged their Rein in overtime and he fell down right outside the capture point range so he couldn't contest in time.
The idea that you have to "stay" in cokepoints until you get a pick off or two or four is just the worst. People can't manage a good team of 5 coming form all sides, especially if you're paying attention and go for the holes in their defenses. Once one person is through the rest should flood in.
Hell in another match our team both teams were holing up at the doorway of Anubis point A and I just ran in as S76 and had the point quarter capped by the time anyone on either team moved from there.
Definitely, one of my favourite supports. Easy to heal, does massive damage, game changing ult, best skins in the game.
a new update for the ptr, 450 mb, that's all. :I

I was a little ticked yesterday as I saw a Genji dash right through Junkrat's trap on PS4 which absolutely would have killed him and Genji then ulted and did a ton of damage. Cannot wait for that nerf.
That really grinds my gears about people who pick snipers. Why do they have to play snipers on KOTH and assault attack maps? Worst of all they can't aim for shit.

Being a difference-maker as Lucio is very, very difficult to show in statistics. He's the kind of hero that makes an impact just by being there and not dying, so differentiating tiers of Lucio play has to be basically impossible for an algorithm.
She's ok on point A but sucks on B, and the problem is that the enemy team had 2 Widows that kept sniping her over and over, but, hey, on the 20th attempt she might have won.
Make defeat an impossibility in your mind.

Needs a Holiday on Gallifrey
You're playing the character well; you're escaping when you're low and your opponents aren't finishing you off. Why would he need a damage nerf if you're literally flanking opponents from an advantageous position?Well I just remember I started the ult, got 2 kills and Mei's ult happened and I managed to get another 3 but I'm guessing I used swift strike/didn't get the killing blow. That sucks

Reddit saying Genji owned tourneys when he had ~20% pick rate. Wow.
Can't "own" tourneys when you don't get picked that often.
Can't "own" tourneys when you don't get picked that often.
Almost 24 hours later and I am still let down. lol'
At this point he is the new big bad. They wont stop complaining till he is nerfed.

Agreed. There are people there and on the Blizz forums that still think he's OP.
i disagree since imo good lucio play will show:
- high elims/death ratios - not necessary that you're killing a lot, but you aren't dying a lot, reducing times when there's no heals/speed
- high overall healing totals per min of match (you are staying in view of the team and getting heals on them)
- amount of ult meter gained during match - you are doing things to increase ult over the standard amount you'd get just for time...which leads to...
- high number of sound barriers actually applied (you are hitting sound barrier so that you get multiple teammates, not just one/two)
- high amount of damage blocked through sound barrier (a proxy for how well you timed it)
- number of speed amps (in connection w/ amount of healing - showing that you can amp and switch)
- high number of assists (your amps are helping the push)
- eliminations/final blows (same as any character)
there's probably more but those are straightforward, objective measures of play.

I loved that moment. My favourite from the showdown followed by Akms 4man dead eye and Tviq rampaging with Genji
You forgot the amount of sick wall riding brah. No Lucio is worth his salt if he can't wall ride all the time.
