Pharah being a throw pick now more than ever. ;_;

 

[Data West]

OW needs a rocket jumping hero

not pharah or 76 but an actual one

 

[Greddleok]

The freeze buildup kind of just slowly fades away though instead of being a total cleanse like zarya's bubble.

Yeah, but that's normally enough time to get away.

It's splitting hairs in the end. Sombre's hack isn't as powerful as Mei's freeze, and has an interruption and cool down to boot.

Also, gone are the days of Zarya? What happened to the queen of Overwatch?

I put 40 hours into her during S2 but haven't touched her since. Just taking a break....but noticing that I never see her on opposing teams either; you're right.

Junk mines everywhere.

We do have bomb jumping one, kinda.

Every time I see mariachi Reaper I get some mariachi music playing in my head.

Being always behind him and seeing the guitar doesn't help.

Something like this?

One of the Pros saying D.Va is a must pick in this meta on the Dreamhack stream, indicating that she takes away Zarya's spot. Very interesting.

 

[Vault Dweller 111]

I can't wait for Hymzi vs Harbleu

 

[Baleoce]

Wouldn't mind seeing a hero that can use something like the shock rifle from Unreal Tournament.

Also need someone who can use a chainsaw.

Yeah D.Va seems to be in a really good place atm.

 

[buy teh haloz]

Been playing some quick play for the first time in a long while, mostly with characters I don't play in competitive. It's a bit of a mixed bag, not much coordination going on

Rocket jump? That sounds dangerous.

 

[Anne]

Very excited to watch NiP this patch. This is the best shot they've ever had to destroy a tournament.

 

[Data West]

I don't know if it's my mousepad needing to be bigger or what but I've never been able to be happy with a sensitivity setting. I'm currently between 2-3 in-game with 1800 DPI and its a massive difference. If I'm at 2 or 2.5 then I can really hit headshots and flick shots exceptionally well. I do great when everything is in front of me but if I'm being flanked, if there's anything going on around me then I feel like it takes me far too long to refocus my attention.

It's basically going forward and doing a ton of damage to the enemies on the point vs flailing aim but better environmental awareness. Not happy with either. It's not like CSGo where I know I can do well mostly trained in a certain headshot range, I have to worry about people from above constantly, dashes, rocket leaps, rocket jets, double jumps

 

[I-hate-u]

Lucio is another character who seems take forever to build his ult now after the nerf.

 

[Sayad]

Is there an SRK equivalent for following Overwatch competitive scene?

 

[Blues1990]

Wouldn't the gore and stuff from said chainsaw kill will bump up the games rating? However, I think a weapon that functions like anything from the UT arsenal would be pretty sweet.

 

[I-hate-u]

Sombra and Zen instead of Ana?

There is viable variety? pogchamp

 

[Fancolors]

Gosugamers is pretty good.

 

[Skii]

No joke, I literally went an entire round yesterday on Illios as Lucio and didnt get ult. It was embarrassing lol.

 

[PayOffWizard]

Quickplay is unplayable solo :-/

 

[I-hate-u]

The casters bring a good point, I see why Complexity went with Zen instead of Ana now. Their team has very little damage with Sombra and D.Va to an extent.

 

[Data West]

like seriously i'm not even kidding there has been a widowmaker in every single game i've been in on both teams for the last week+

just because of the charge rate buff? because jesus f uck im sick of her

 

[Antiwhippy]

Oh wow, they seriously buffed blizzard huh.

 

[Anne]

I thought they nerfed Mei :v

DAMMIT WHIPPY

 

[Fancolors]

omg the Mei ulti just broke the game

 

[Sayad]

Gosugamers is pretty good.

Thanks.

 

[I-hate-u]

The one time Sombra is being played and actually winning, and the game goes down.

Ironic much?

 

[Greddleok]

Eh, Winston and D.Va eat Widow alive, I'm ok with her being around now.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Great minds etc. etc.?

 

[I-hate-u]

Those 3M headphones look funny.

 

[Data West]

When she's on your team?

And a golden gun widow is less likely to switch off than a pro genji. at least hanzo will switch to genji.

Heh, then you just have to hope she's good.

 

[Psychoward]

I stealth to a backline / sideline health pack as Sombra, hack the Health Pack, then make the Health Pack my home with a translocator before going out to cause mischief and hopefully pick off some healers or squishy snipers on the backline. As soon as it begins to head south, I boop back to my hacked healthpack, wait the 6 seconds for the translocator to refresh, then repeat.

I do this too. It's only kinda effective but more importantly it's boring as shit.

The only reason I play her now (qp only of course) is that I'm hoping I get a potg to show off the hacking intro lol

 

[Data West]

Soldier 76 is a walking bastion now

maybe they should just remove Bastion

 

[Antiwhippy]

Fucking zappis man.

So good.

 

[Anne]

I love watching NiP. They always are ahead on their team comps.

 

[I-hate-u]

Oh yeah I forgot, Hanzo still get his ultimate every 2 minutes even after the nerf. Zappis literally got it 2x faster than Zarya's in the match there. Shit's ridicolous.

 

[Psychoward]

Soldier 76 is a walking bastion now

and he's a bastion counter now lol (has he always been idk)

 

[Azoor]

Yeah kinda XD

 

[Antiwhippy]

Graviton + blizzard still GGEZ.

Complexity was making that sombra work though.

 

[Blues1990]

Great minds etc. etc.?

Agreed.

 

[Anne]

Find it funny that Korea is swearing up and down that D.Va is flat required, but at Dreamhack we're seeing a lot of Zarya.

NiP isn't the greatest of teams, but they are the ones that invented the tank + Ana bullshit. I like some of their more liberal hero usage at the moment.

 

[Antiwhippy]

They don't really try to counter her though, which I find weird. I still think zarya+mei is a pretty good counter comp, but that means you have to have 2 characters to counterpick really.

Like ogn apex is just mostly every team mirroring each other. Except for AF blue sometimes.

 

[ramyeon]

Matchmaking for 1V1 is non existstant. I was rank 2500 last season but consistently get matched with people 3500+. Just had one guy who was 4500. Such a joke.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Ah seeing mei v mei again warms my heart. :'D

I'm surprised zappis picked mei over soldier though.

I didn't know 1v1 matchmaking even take your SR into account.

Edit: Again? Dafuq Blizzard.

 

[Fancolors]

The Sombra ARG never ends. It never stops.

 

[Sykotik]

I'm level ~160 and got matched with a 500 and I beat them 5-0.

It felt nice.

 

[Anne]

There's no way this isn't some bug related to a Sombra interaction. Similar situation to last crash.

Cab't wait for her to be banned again :v

 

[Psychoward]

I've always gotten matched with people within 15 levels of me, that's weird. Maybe you guys had similar MMR or SR
