I got a 5-man ult with D.Va the other night. I'm not sure how it happened though with the Reinhardt shield being there. Quality isn't too great though, first time uploading from sharefactory so maybe I did something wrong.

There were a few people asking me on here for some D.Va gameplay so I uploaded the whole match. Not my greatest since I'm a bit rusty, haven't been playing too much these past few weeks.

Beeeyootiful.

 

[Fancolors]

Hopefully the incoming surge of Symmetras will make getting that stupid Winston achievement a whole lot easier.

 

[Apathy]

Reaper is deceptively hard I've found. If you want easy play S76.



You mean everyone but symm.

Her buff is pretty significant, might as well practice her

 

[Blues1990]

The minesweeper one, right? Along with Zenyatta's Rapid Discord achievement, those two are the most difficult ones to pull off.

 

[Antiwhippy]

I don't know if I'd call her buff significant. I'd call it confused.

I dunno, i might be proven wrong but i don't see a place for her even moreso.

Her projected shield thingy right now is just a worse version of Reinhardt, and with all other things considered I'd much rather have a Reinhardt.

 

[Paltheos]

I got Rapid Discord earlier this month by accident at Well. I've put allot of time into Zen (35 hours?) but it felt pretty natural. The hardest one to get imo is Lucio's wallriding kills. That just seems contrived.

 

[Sir Griffith]

Hopefully the incoming surge of Symmetras will make getting that stupid Winston achievement a whole lot easier.

Was fairly easy to get when QP had no hero limits and the opposing team decides to have 3 Symmetras, but yea this might be the next best thing.

 

[NeoRaider]

Nicely done. Also, I love the Noire skin for Widowmaker, as it's one of the cooler skins in the game.

Thanks. And i agree about the skin. That's the only bonus skin that i got, since i pre-ordered Standard Edition of the game, and honestly i think that it's best looking bonus skin out of 5 or 6? And one of the best overall.

Yeah but at least this way when a Symmetra main picks her on attack, there is at least tangible benefits that she'll provide the team during the match with the barrier and the shields. That's all I want tbh.

Slecting Sym doesn't preclude having a Rein on your team, though. Rein's shield starts to crack, Sym fires off her barrier for a few precious seconds of coverage. Could be nice.

Saw a thing last night from Eurogamer where they tested what the photon barrier blocks - it doesn't block Sombra's hack! But her EMP doesn't take it down. Well, at the moment at least.

 

[Sullichin]

I got a POTG last night that was just two kills as Zenyatta, at the end of the payload push in hollywood. Does it factor in that Mercy had her res ready and I killed her before she could use it? My whole team was basically on fire the whole game so it was surprising to not see some D.VA potg or something

I honestly love most of the alt. skins that the game has, and I hope Torbjorn and Reinhardt get their own respective Origins skins in the future.

 

[Shake Appeal]

I'm finally getting pretty good with sombra now. I kind of wish people would get damaged if they touch my hack'd health packs.

Yeah, but at least there's the comedic value in following a wounded enemy to a health pack you've hacked.

It has other uses though. You can throw it at someone on the high ground and maybe force them to reposition (the cafe on Hollywood for example. or Anubis highground), and it helps Symmetra in 1v1 situations, probably a bit clunky there though. People have already shown her melting McCrees because they blocked the flash.

Shield generator is pretty busted, I think that's enough to warrant picking her if the rest of her kit turns out subpar. If you place it in hidden spot but close to point, with it's larger health pool (also regenerating), Symmetra's turret buff, it becomes much easier for your team and Symmetra to defend it before it gets destroyed. Tracer will have to waste a pulse bomb on it, but her ult charges fast anyway so.

I never see pro teams using teleporter over it, unless you had to hold at the first point or lose. If the team was wiped and I had my ult as Sym, I'd forfeit the first point and use shield generator after.

OMG, everyone staying grouped up behind Rein's shield and they are not pre-made teams? Amazing. @__@

also, your team's running the new meta!

i've always wanted to see how you play, btw.

 

[ohkay]

I need to convince myself to not fill this season since I ended up playing my mediocre Reinhardt a lot last season, and I think that made my SR lower than it should've been, but I'm not sure who I should instalock.

Does anyone actually enjoy playing Rein? He's pretty essential but man, he's so goddamn boring imo. Seems like every Reinhardt main is a reluctant one.

I love playing Rein, I just know I don't play him at the same level as other characters. He's not boring to me because, while he may not be a technical character, you have to pay attention to everything and make the right decisions or your team dies.

I played him a few hours and I think he can be really fun, if you are agressive without overextending. Pinning someone and landing a finishing blow with a firestrike never gets old.

This season I won't play Lucio anymore, unless I really want to or if I'm playing with friends. Randoms can go f*ck themselves this time, I was suprised to see that I have almost ~70h with him ffs.

[Papercuts]

I'm pretty much a tank main but I find Rein really hard to actually be good with which kinda pushes me from playing him. He's so much more reliant on his team that it's difficult for me to practice his positioning/when to get more aggressive due to that. I usually end up feeling useless and swapping off but then I'm never actually getting better with him.

Everyone else I can do my own thing with.

 

[MUnited83]

I love playing as Rein but only if there's a Lucio on the team. Speed boost makes a world of difference.

 

[xaosslug]

holy crap, the new season start is 6 hours...!!!

 

[AbaFadi]

I'm a tank main and I enjoy using Reinhardt. I think playing a more aggressive Reinhardt can be really helpful. A lot of people are too passive with Reinhardt, and refuse to move in or not drop the shield and start swinging.

I'm really happy D.Va is becoming more prominent in the meta. Near the end of last season, I ended up playing more Zarya than D.Va, but now for season 3 I'm for sure going to play more D.Va.

I might stream my placement games today if anyone would be interested in watching me play D.Va in ranked today.

 

[NeoRaider]

We just discovered new meta few minutes ago!! XD

It was on Kings Row, we went 5 support + tank (Roadhog). That Roadhog almost never died, maybe once and healers were just supporting each other with Ana boosting Roadhog and Symmetra's teleporter being up almost all the time. I was Mercy. It was easy win! lol

[rulerk1]

So after playing the OP sniper rifle in Destiny I played some Widow. I getting either 17+ elims or gold kills. Got a 15 kill streak early in one match we lost.

So many good flick shots

 

[Paltheos]

Rein's awesome. You play a 10-foot tall German dude who swings a giant hammer, can make a moving wall of fire by snapping said hammer through the air, can rush and smash his enemies into walls, and can hit the earth so hard all his enemies drop to the ground. It's an awesome power fantasy. I also like defending with the shield and waiting and pivoting between that patience and "I'll crush all our enemies!"

Makes sense. I do enjoy playing tanks in MMOs for much the same reason. I guess my problem with Rein isn't Rein so much as trying to play Rein in QP and being let down horribly.

DO IT.

Love seeing how other people play.

Also Reinhardt is so great because most people expect you to just play passively.

When you catch the other team off guard by going in it's amazing. Just gotta be smart.

Finished DOOM during the break and ready to get back to OW.

For Season 3, probably gonna play D.Va, S76, Lucio, Zen, Zarya, and Mei mostly.

But I play anything if needed.

I'll be streaming tonight at: http://twitch.tv/sn3s2 if anyone's interested as well.

Lucio decides when you stop playing as him, he is not done with you yet. I think I'm making my overwatch return tonight.

It's hilarious that they keep nerfing Lucio and keep buffing Mercy and she's still at the bottom while he's still autopick in every comp.

Rapture Oasis Lore

Oasis is one of the world's most advanced cities, a shining jewel rising from the Arabian Desert. A monument to human ingenuity and invention, researchers and academics from around the region came together to found a city dedicated to scientific progress without restraints. The city and its inhabitants are governed by the Ministries, a collection of brilliant minds who possess many secrets that have attracted the interest of powerful organizations from around the world.

as long as he's the only character w/ a speed boost... Lucio will remain the meta. The only way they can shoehorn Mercy into the meta is remove her damage buff and replace it w/ a speed buff... even if it will only benefit 1 character peep will use her the same way peeps use Ana.

Nah. They could make her dmg boost apply to multiple targets. Kind of like Combat Girl from SMNC.

 

[AngryMoth]

Fell down a Pokemon hole during the last week so I'm a bit out of the loop. People talking about Oasis, is it up on PTR?

Season 3 starts tonight right? Think I need to get a bit of practise in before doing my placements!

 

[Blues1990]

It's hilarious that they keep nerfing Lucio and keep buffing Mercy and she's still at the bottom while he's still autopick in every comp.

They really need to take this guys advice with fixing Lucio.

So, yeah. I'm really not looking forward to being a simple Speed Boost bot in Season 3, as I usually fly solo and not a lot of people select the Support Heroes. Mobility creep is fucking horrible to deal with, and while I think it's the right decision to make him more of a specialist (and it's a tough decision with how Blizzard should go about balancing him), crippling Lucio's healing potential is making my life a headache right now.

EDIT: Man, I rarely play Winston, but I just harassed the enemy team like it was my birthright.

 

[ohkay]

Yeah, it's bad trying to play him in QP because of the complete lack of coordination, but it's not so bad in comp when people are actually trying to win (most of the time)

 

[Nuno Pinto]

Lucio decides when you stop playing as him, he is not done with you yet. I think I'm making my overwatch return tonight.

Noooooooo.

I still have to decide if I will play today. I have a 4-day break and I really want to play Inside first since people say it's awesome.

But if you're on I will probably do some placement matches.

I hate the idea of saying Video Games could be an addiction, but I seriously had some major problems there for a while.

What happened to Mercy anyway? I just got back into the game after a few months, and suddenly no team is using her, when she was a regular on every pro team the last time I watched anything.

Played SMNC during the Betas and loved it. Played so much when they added the achievements and TF2 items I had them already after not playing in forever.

Combat Girl was THE BEST. The laser ult was way too fun and I loved that form of supporting.

Shame the game turned out so different than it was in Beta. Similar to Hawken, another Alpha / Beta obsession of mine that I dropped hard post launch.

I thought I was done with OW but I'm jonesing hard for the new season. GG Blizzard.
