Atleast my screen isn't blocked with massive hand rings. ;_;

And yeah I think all of Sombra's are pretty ass. Noche is alright. I actually don't really like the character in general much at all tbh.

I'm not wild about any of Sombra's skins. I think my favorites are probably the Team GB Tracer and the weightlifter Zarya.

I echo the sentiments about D.Va's skins though - they're all pretty unremarkable.

Where do people keep meeting the DPS anas?

While maybe I don't really run into them that much because I'm usually the ana, the anas I've met never really go all dps.

The Indian theme still fits with a Buddhist monk imho... Just don't understand why they came up with an Ancient Egypt skin in his case...

Don't worry about who is and isn't popular in the meta right now, it's not important when you first start playing. Just keep playing the game and having fun and you'll start to pick up more of the minutia like who is a good counter to who etc by yourself.

PTR is the testing server on PC where they put up new features and balance changes for community testing.

Mercy is not the best support, but she is quite good still.

PTR is a test version of the game available only on PC. It's where all the new updates will hit first, before going live. So always keep an eye on it for the news, even if you don't have it.

Soldier is crazy now. Was watching my friend who's probably played about an hour of Overwatch play him and the damage - even with his limited game sense - was ridiculous.

Season two is over? Shit. I managed to climb up to 2620 but it's so hard when all you do is play with randoms and still deal with baffling leavers every handful of games. Plus I almost always get silver and golds in my losses. I'm not claiming to be some kind of elite player but I feel like it's impossible to progress much alone.

Edit: sorry had to get what I experienced in the last month during my ban off my chest lol.

Yep, I use the Summer games one because it's blue. Not a fan of either Legendary.

People would probably like Mercy more if most people knew how to hide when they have their ult and resurrect the team when they die. Most mercy's just go to the frontlines to die and never get a good ult off once the entire game. I think she does need an extra ability of some form though to be considered more viable. I do like how fast she recovers health now after taking damage.

That's My issue with most of the mercies i have had honestly.

Like, mercy mains love complaining about their team not looking after them, but in reality they also aren't really playing her right either.

The best place to hide are places of no return, but you have to trust your teammates to peak out so you could fly to them

I think she's poorly designed from an ultimate standpoint. She shouldn't be encouraged to refrain from fulfilling her purpose as healer so that she can hide, let all her teammates die, then save the day with a team resurrection.

McCree's primary still out damages Soldier, the problem is Soldier is more generous with aiming plus his helix rockets allow for a longer engagement range than McCree's stun/fan the hammer even if the latter obviously does more damage.

S76 also a sprint so he can engage/disengage easier and of course he's got the self healing going for him.

Annnnd his ult went from being one of the worst ones to one of the best ones after his damage buff, especially since now he's probably the go-to Ana boost character.

I wouldn't be mad if McCree got his 50% charge if he doesn't use High Noon back, especially with the ult charge nerf.

McCree is fine, definitely doesn't need a buff. The ult charge nerf buffed him anyway, his left click is a real workhorse. Soldier is just a better solo carry because he can heal himself and has mobility, McCree still needs his team somewhat to provide him with necessary space. For example standing behind Reinhardt and being passively healed by Lucio means you can basically just aim freely, if the enemy lets me have that space I can easily mop up the team. It's actually DVA that I absolutely cannot stand post-patch.

Hmm yeah I've still done well with McCree post-patch, I'm just shooting the shit. S76's utility is just so much better.

Hanzo truly is the worst, just point in a direction and rack up kills. People complain about Widow's zoning being too much but at least Widow has to aim.

Good little video made it to the top of the Overwatch subreddit about subtle cheating: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MXjPdXUZz8

Disclaimer: Not every person with good aim and a tendency to shoot like this is a hacker. I play McCree with 50%+ average accuracy and multiple crits. I make weird crosshair movements(people who've seen my potgs know this too well lol). I'm not a hacker. I have spotted these out in the wild though, the first time was against a Soldier that was p obvious, especially since he had the worst positioning known to man.

I'm always really curious about what is going on with hacks so I look into them and ask around every now and then. I like to be able to spot or just know things. I'm pretty sure some pretty nutty hacks are starting to get out there.

edit: Also this guy claims this is common and looks at forums. That's not true. This thing isn't really all that common, just a bit more so than people might think.

I don't understand how people can even have fun playing with hacks.

That being said this is one of the reasons I'm glad I play on ps4. There might be a few hackers but it's obviously much less of a problem there.

I really like how Zenyatta plays, but I cannot stand his character. It drives me so crazy that I hate playing him, even though I enjoy playing him.

can you set up Symm's shield generator in spawn? This could be super helpful ridiculous on maps like Hanamura & Anubis point B... xD

Have any Zaryas out there been able to take down a D.VA at full health? After her HP boost I find it nearly impossible. She's the only hero I feel like I can't reliably crush as Z.

I think Widowmaker needs a redesign on console like they are doing with symmetra. She's Pretty much unplayable and it's a shame since I like sniping in games.
