makes sense lol thanks

Are you having an avatar crisis or something?

 

[Data West]

everyones complaining about mei legendaries

and im just wondering when they turn Winston's peanut butter emote into his sitting emote. I'd pay 3000 credits for that easy

 

[Antiwhippy]

Holy crap how high is sableyoube's sensitivity? I nearly feel motion sick whenever they switch to his PoV.

 

[Anne]

Probably not all that high, his motions look pretty clean so I'm assuming he's just swinging that arm around like crazy.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Yeah, seems to be but man, he's seriously one of the twitchiest players I've watched when it come to poV.

 

[ISOM]

Holy crap how high is sableyoube's sensitivity? I nearly feel motion sick whenever they switch to his PoV.

Was he playing Tracer?

 

[Newtype-001]

I heard its better to move your whole arm when playing instead of wrists so im going to try practicing that. Feels really weird though. Like you have a third arm lol

Was he playing Tracer?

Yes

 

[Data West]

More food player icons, Blizz. This is a good direction to go in.

 

[ISOM]

Yes

I felt it was that because people have commented the exact same way as whippy when I play Tracer because I play on high sensitivity and am kind of jittery when tracking. One person even said that it looked like I had Parkinson's or something lol.

It gets the job done though.

 

[xviper]

the winter update made the game frustrating as hell, every game i play now is against a group of 3 at least even if i'm playing solo, every mode feels like competitive now

 

[Greddleok]

That group is likely just a bunch of randos. I like it, get that 20% XP bonus.

 

[Data West]

I said I was done weabing but I started playing Genji and Hanzo again tonight and oh god I forgot how much I enjoy the weabing.

I picked Hanzo not even noticing it was bad for the comp(QP) so I was like 'i'll switch when I die' go up to the point and murder 4 people in the first 5 or so seconds. It felt so right.

 

[Kiro]

Will be playing from 830PM EST til about 1AM EST (PS4)

If you want to join up add me! PSN: Kiro21-

I play Zenyatta mainly, but am known to fill any role quite well. Will play any game mode too!

 

[Drek]

For some reason, environmental kills are instant POTG. Sometimes theyre worth it or sometimes in cases like yours, nope. lol

I was playing with a Lucio this morning who force waved three people off on King's Row just before we pushed the sled in and he got PotG, so yeah, I think you're right that any kind of environmental kill is bonus, a multi-environmental kill is basically a lock.

Stop fucking putting down teleporter.

I've had them put them down on point B still


Trollsyms will never die.

 

[Antiwhippy]

I don't think it's a troll, it's just that they don't seem to know that the shield generator is really dang powerful.

 

[Shake Appeal]

Lol Sombra's winter wonderland voice line.

"I know who's been naughty."

I spam this pretty hard, I will admit.

 

[Kiro]

I don't think it's a troll, it's just that they don't seem to know that the shield generator is really dang powerful.

Or they aren't reading patch notes and don't notice the second ultimate.

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

Apparently I won OW origins edition during their halloween twitter contest. Too bad I already owned it though .

 

[Cappa]

How does the shield generator work exactly? I havent followed or played much of Symm since the rework. Does the shield generator just give everyone who passes it shields as if it were Symm handing them pre-rework?

No, everyone in its range (which is fucking huge and goes through walls) gets 75 shields.

 

[Cappa]

oh wow? So it doesnt need line of sight? That does sound really tough to deal with especially in maps with tight rooms that can easily be defended like Numbani.... I used to love playing Symm in the past.... I am definitely more intrigued now.

 

[Wimps]

These new skins are AMAZING.

 

[Data West]

I spam Reinhardt's winter voice line because I initially think its funny
but then it just kind of creeps me out

 

[Antiwhippy]

Or they aren't reading patch notes and don't notice the second ultimate.

I specifically asked them to put shield even before the match began though.

Ah well, hopefully more people learn as time goes on.

 

[Data West]

Something wonderful when a Mei tries to ice wall an enemy from their team and misses and then gets hooked and killed by the enemy team immediately after

 

[NeoRaider]

Already sick of Symmetra on Attack now.

BTW. My Winter skins: Lucio x2, Pharah x2. I am sure that i will have some... 15-20 more duplicates till January 2.
Blizzard really wants my money but... no.

 

[Chance]

Or they aren't reading patch notes and don't notice the second ultimate.

I did it by accident once...

 

[spiritfox]

I put down teleporter once.

I was in a hurry and I forgot I needed to press q twice.

 

[MarioHead3]

I did it intentionally once.

How else am I supposed to get that trophy?

 

[I-hate-u]

Doomfist incoming.

I've been accidentally guilty of this twice over this week. What happened was I selected the shield generator, someone started shooting at me, I hit L2 to cancel it, killed them, pressed triangle to bring it up again, pressed R2, and realised it swaps back to teleporter if you cancel placing the shield generator.

Luckily it was on point A defence on Eichenwalde, so my team got to benefit from it at least.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Got yeti winston. My winter loot luck is already way better than my halloween loot luck.

I used up all my luck during Halloween.

Where can i see this? I'm intrigued...

Never understood the whole "weeaboo" thing for Hanzo & Genji. It's similar to a friend of mine who refuses to play D.Va or Mei (both are too cute). If a character is fun to play as, then that's all that matters.

 

[Red Arremer]

Doomfist incoming.

Spoiler

I want to believe that me tagging Matt Mercer and Crispin Freeman on Twitter about Terry wanting to voice stuff might have contributed to this.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Probably the better event to use your luck honestly.

 

[Cappa]

Doomfist incoming.

isnt he the one rumored to voice Doomfist too?

 

[Plesiades]

There was never a rumor. Some people were campaigning for him. For all we know, Doomfist is a woman.

Doubt theyd add 3 new heroes in a row and make them all females

 

[Akuun]

I feel like you can't really carry a team on your own in this game by design, but what are some good heroes to try your best to do so? I'm low level so I keep getting grouped in with people who generally aren't so hot in terms of aim/positioning/composition knowlege.

I've been trying to play a healer since I don't trust anyone else to heal (and everyone seems to assume 1 healer is enough), but I don't think I can really carry them that way. Ana is kind of poor as a solo healer in groups like these because no one defends her, people are often scattered, and she often ends up being forced to use her grenade on herself, which I think is a huge waste.

With Mercy, I can keep people alive for a long time but if people aren't getting kills, then we just slowly lose.

With Zen, I can get some kills myself but Zen can't solo heal a group that often has no tank and takes tons of damage to boot.

The silhouette in the Numbani museum poster looks very masculine. Don't think it'll be a female character.

I'm fucking sick of running into these silver level widows who for some reason can hit pro level headshots.

Some reason.

 

[ROBOKITTYZILLA]

I didn't play much Symmetra in PTR but did they adjust the range on the shield generator at all? I've only used her on Numbani and Hanamura so far, but the range seems fine and does not extend across the entire map as some exaggerations are implying. I need to setup some custom games and do some testing.

I had a really good game with Symmetra last night on Hanamura. We had a Torb for defense and while the other team still managed to capture the first point, we dominated on point B. I used her on offense for the first push with the intention of switching but everything went peachy. She was super effective on point B. I setup the generator in the courtyard and we just went to town. Once we were all on the point, I was just melting people left and right with her fully charged beam.

Symmetra is really strong now but still feels situational and you have to build your team around her to some degree. There are definitely some trade offs so I wouldn't call her OP just yet.

Your best bet is Lucio. You have more control over what's happening with amp it up and your ult. But I do believe Ana is the best for carrying if you can get good with her. You just need to get proficient with her sleep dart to protect yourself and you should be able to pump out more healing than the other healers during a team fight. The longer you keep your Rein alive, the higher the chance you have of winning the team fight imo.

 

[Rizzi]

Symmetra is way too strong now. Not like I expected much from the masters of balance that work at Blizzard, but fuck man.

People were saying the same about Sombra, now it seems no one uses her lol

Hmmm so just a wild coincidence he ends up going for a visit? I dont think Doomfist will be a woman but I would be very surprised if it is really Terry who voices him but ya never know!
