She can rez anyone that's died and still hasn't respawned. Any nerf to that would require a substantial buff to her other abilities, honestly.
No one would play her if there were a Reaper on the other team and her healing even after being buffed isn't enough to outpace his damage if he's close enough and hitting headshots. He definitely doesn't need to shut down her strongest ability.
Sigh, I don't wanna solo. Maybe I'll try a few just to test my luck.
Cant stop wont stop!

It's reallllly just a matter of practice! I'm trash with controllers but really good with M+KB. Every time I spend a few days/weeks playing controller games that require aiming, I immediately get better, but usually don't continue on a streak playing those games long enough to permanently enhance my controller aiming skills. If you give me a controller and tell me to play an FPS I'd seem handicapped.
Which platform? If PC, bravo! What heroes were you playing? I want to get to Diamond myself -- placed 2756, high of 2883, currently 2653. Shit's hard, man.
For some reason it went up in price, when I got it, it was 64 bucks, now its 70?!
But you can get a wired usb version thats 50
or even used ones, there are other companies that makes these as well I'll post them later.
That was awesome.
Watched Seagull play Symmetra on Hanamura from yesterday. These were his mistakes from a Sym main pov:
-Putting turrets near their spawn. They will have no effect or give ult charge on a full health 6 man team.
-Investing 3 turrets on 1 health pack that may or may not be used. Even if an opponent does use the pack, it could be a tank that just instakills your turrets.
-Roaming the map aimlessly instead of contributing damage in chokes via orb spam.
-Spending far too long deciding where to put teleporter, but I guess if you don't play Sym / play against Sym much, you wouldn't know the best spots.

PS4. My three most played heroes are McCree, Zen and Zarya but I played almost all depending on the situation/map.

Nice, congrats.
Nice tips, but I'd imagine if Seagull was playing Symmetra at all, he wasn't taking the game very seriously/putting much thought into the match.
Congrats. Told you you would get diamond.
I haven't moved much from placements. 3077 to 3198 I think.
What's your secret?
Playing with you guys.
Mei is like Anthrax to my D.VA. I see her and just try to finish her off before she has a chance to notice me, or I poke and run away and repeat.
I envy you
I have a gaming mouse with E and Lshift mapped to side buttons, 2 to scroll wheel, and Q to scroll wheel click.
I haven't followed TF2 beyond the first year. It got weird!

Congrats man!
But I think the controller is more intuitive. Like you have these different buttons and that's all whereas a keyboard is a bunch of keys and many times there is little relation to the action they do (R - reload but crouching is Ctrl or one of the abilities is Shift!). And I feel lucky because I have WASD in a different colour, otherwise I would not even bother and just see how they kill me again and again.
I would appreciate that. I took a look at Amazon and saw pads like this one:
But not exactly like the one of your image. I vastly prefer your recommendation.
I did that after my unfortunate attempts with the default control scheme. And I think I have it more or less like you, although I have all the abilities in the mouse.

Just got my Olly Moss prints in, they look awesome.
Shame reporting system is useless and never results in Blizzard taking action. Just had game where random constantly verbally harassed my friend. From calling names to telling him to commit suicides and telling my friend how to do it etc. Seen a lot players like that and reported them, nothing has never come out of reports. Extremely toxic fucks can keep on playing and being toxic fucks.
Practice, practice, practice. It takes time to build up muscle memory and reaction speed while using the kb + m but once you do it feels completely natural. You might also want to check your dpi settings on your mouse (if you can, some mice you can't) and lower it down to 900 or so while lowering in game sensitivity. This will help you track and land shots more consistently.
Yeah, yesterday I went from 2600 to 2300. Rough times.

Yeah, she's still great in QP. You can harass or outright kill Hanzos and Widows, pelt from distance (QP players often panic when taking damage, even if it's barely scratching them) and draw aggro, eat Ults. It always feels like there's something you can do to help get your team calmed down.
Oh, and out-of-mek D.Va is a nasty little squishy in her own right, especially when she's laying down suppressing fire from the back line. I can't count the number of times a Genji or Reaper has panic-ulted to kill me after D.Va squishy started pelting them in the head from close range. QP may be easy mode, but it's still so much fun, win or lose.
What the heck. What's wrong with some people. One of the aspects that was holding me back of buying this game was, apart from the control, the community. When I was really into multiplayer games on consoles, I could get way too angry by some assholes instead of killing time.
Maybe you should try your luck through social networks like Twitter and warn Blizzard. I have the feeling that they usually pay more attention through those channels.
I would definitely lower the DPI. Maybe that was part of the problem when I tried to use snipers. And I would practice for sure because I want to play the game everytime that I have free time!
Thanks.
Wait, you guys gave me an idea. Maybe I can use a Move Navigation Controller:
They are cheaper than anything I have seen so far. I am going to search if somebody has done it already.
Yup, that's me right now. Means I get lots of POTMs until I slowly climb back up, at least.

I've been trying to play what the team needs, but I'm starting to realize how hopeless that is. Zenny / Zarya will probably be my first choices unless they're picked already.
I feel like Batman trying to climb out of the pit in TDKR. I will rise, one day.

Finally got around to being able to play since the patch drops. Some late hot takes:
- New map is a ton of fun. Nice verticality with plenty of access points. Tracer is a blast to play here, zipping around.
- McCree on console is seriously legit now, even with the ult nerf. Single shots are a lot more reliable and, because of this, his ult gain rate seems to have increased. The reality is just that the singles do a lot of damage, and now that it's not whiffing on jumping targets when you have them in your crosshair, damage is being done more reliably.
- Zarya's beam. Got an unassisted triple kill a little too easily over lunch. The range almost feels a little shy of McCree's best effective range... it's that crazy.
- D.Va's DM didn't feel that different. I was never a tap-tap-tapper when using it anyway, since it seemed like shots would go through that way. Did they add a thing where her mech call down has a pushback when it lands?
- Haven't tried Genji but I watched a natural quad kill. i.e. no Zarya or Mei ult grouping... just pure dancing.

ack, would you be playing D.Va or Mei (I D.Va main, but I'm pretty versatile! -__-) Anyway, send me an invite! PSN: res1tvih

It happens, teams have learned to focus fire her before she starts swooping around pestering people. I switch to Rein when I get pasted repeatedly, though. Not Bastion. Never Bastion. There's a line...
Or Joseph and Caesar trying to climb the oily pillar in JoJo.
I call it "The Draw Map" now. Almost all of my games there have ended with neither team even coming close to capping A. It is awesome, once someone can actually get through that first choke.

I'm trying to have a positive approach when it comes to competitive. I really don't hate it when I lose rank, the most important thing is I'm doing my best and trying to do my role in match. Even if I lost all my points, sure it sucks, but it's not the end of the world. The most important thing is that I'm having fun.
Being toxic isn't going to reverse time and make you win.

Anyway to ignore/avoid certain players? I've seen prefer player but no ignore/avoid or anything. Insanely frustrating session earlier, started with a win, after which lost 3 in a row due to leavers/afk. Then lost another due to a leaver, who was in a group as well, and lost a couple of tight games which is obviously going to happen (one match was at 2-2 and the opponents had 1 minute to push the payload in dorado, they pushed the payload all the way to the end, who knows how), but all in all frustrating.
Play those 2 a lot myself. But I just use whatever mostly. Just filling in the gaps

Still working on my placements. Had a crazy KOTH game on Nepal earlier. Managed to come back from getting completely rekt the first 2 rounds to sweep it 3 straight. Managed to close it with a team wipe Zarya wombo combo. Of course I didn't get potg for it though lol
Currently 4-2. Hoping to get at least 6 wins by the end of it. I don't know where that'll place me going if it really goes off of season 1.I placed around 50 then dropped and quit and came back and got 52 during the last few days.

Damn -Rad that's amazing. I placed 2008 and was happy to get to 3016 (and promptly plummet back to 2890) I haven't had much success at all. Seems so easy to rank down and so hard to rank up. Very impressive to go up that much.
