It doesn't set any kind of precedence. Every character in overwatch has something unique about them. I would say symmetra being about to pick which ult to put down is no more unintuitive than Lucio's cross-fade.

Trey, you've joined the brotherhood! Assuming your on PS4, send me a Friend request at KingofBlades2278.
I don't think the is anything problematic about Symmetra's double ult itself, I just don't want to see this grow into a thing with other characters.

How can you be in high gold and still think spawn camping and having 5 dps characters is a good idea
Joined the brotherhood? I've been playing on PC since launch lol

There's gonna be a boop emote? Why didn't anyone tell me before I wasted 250 on her hold on one. Shit
Then you are worthless to me
I've been trying to get Korragaf on board for a while, assumed I was the only one playing.
It was known since Blizzcon
Just a voice line, 75
and people wonder why quickplay is now 1 hero only. thank god stacking is dead
So I'm not the only one that noticed that. Went to go preview the voice line and Sombra says nothing. I'm like what? lol

The fact that Blizzard can't tell the difference between a quit and a disconnect is pitiful
Okay. Not a 100% confirmation, but still a safe assumption to make.

How would they? What if leavers just unplugged their modems?

I think you're overestimating the number of people that actually go that far.
Not saying it doesn't happen, but it's probably way less common than you'd think.

If you're invisible as sombra and you try to hack but your hack is on cooldown or nothing is in range you shouldn't break your invisibility....
On the plus side I made a widow rage quit by teleporting up to them while invisible and killing them

If they made it so you aren't punished for disconnecting but you are for leaving then a TON of people would do it.

Idk how they would but I know other games do it. Also yeah hmm that's a problem I guess huh.

Just have a much less harsh penalty for disconnects, and a harsher one for leaving manually. People would still have to get up to unplug their modem every time, and then wait for it to reset after. I can't imagine anyone having the patience to do that literally every time they want to leave a match.
Just seems kinda dickish to penalize you when Blizzard or Sony have server fuck-ups.

I think you underestimate people. One bad round of KOTH and you can get away with little to no penalty? It would be rampant.

if it's a disconnect from on the account of Blizzard, PSN, or XBL then I think they should not penalize peeps and it should be easy for them to find out if there were outages. But if the disconnect is on account your own wonky service/provider, then suck it up.
but I shouldn't be penalized for maintenance or server errors! T__T

I can guarantee you it would not be nearly as bad as you think. Other games do it and it's mostly fine.
And, once again, I'm not saying they should implement SFV-style no penalty. Just do something for the people who get disconnected from problems on Blizzard's end, not necessarily always counting shitty internet, as you probably shouldn't be playing an online game at that point anyway.
Doubt it 2 healers is way too good, should be good to fuck around in quick match.
A patch or two ago. I don't think they gave a reason. I agree that it's dumb - reduces the incentive to take it down.

Why would it?

The incentive to take it down would be that it's one less threat to deal with.
Lol I mean the incentive is so you don't die.

Nope.
Also another zarya nerf. Firestrike does not give the double charges now.

Isn't that exactly what it's for? As a console peon, I've been under the impression that it was meant for testing, not as a serious gameplay environment. Better there than in the actual game, right?

to add some variety to game modes, for hybrid cap point + payload maps Blizz should make the payload destructible by enemy and can be healed by aly, and once it's destroyed the match ends... I think that would add a new aspect to the game and better train peeps to stay on the dang payload.

Makes it kinda useless to see how a balance change would affect the live game though.

That's a fairly big nerf honestly.
