Huh?
I think new Sym fucks Hog over without just her ult. The projected shield is a pain since it can block the hook or get in the way after the hook to block a shot.
Though I feel it could also just enable the strategy more as now it makes the supports and DPS minitanks, so they could just go to Zarya instead of Hog. Or Hog's displacement with the hook will still be strong enough without one shotting. Like 3 tanks, torb, sym, ana? I could see that still being dumb as hell.
Hard call though.
Daddy Kaplan made a post apologizing for people being disappointed about Santa Mei, and promised those worried she wouldn't get another Legendary for a while that there was something coming early next year.

Swear Symmetra is the new hotness in Master ranked games. Its a rarity to see a match without her.
Just damn tired of having to hunt down Teleporters or Shield generators every game because no one rarely does....

Ah cool, we have a mccree and soldier on our team for R66, guess I'll go Reinhardt. *Everyone proceeds to run in all different directions other than me, and I get melted by a hog/McCree without making it to first checkpoint*

Problem with 3 tanks, torb, sym, and ana is that you're lacking viable long range damage. 2 tanks + Soldier and those 3 would work though lol. This comp insanely favors defense, how is the attack team supposed to stop this shit? Mirror would be hard because you'd be running attack Torb right? Attack Sym is much more viable than him right now.
Maybe Sym + Zen + Lucio + Tracer + Reaper + D.Va? Pretty non-traditional. Symmetra was tired of being useless, so she decided to make her own game.
Envy vs. coL tonight will probs be a Sym mirror? Maybe? Hulk liked running Sym even before she was buffed.
Quad tanks
Exact mirrors
Random teams will let a pharah go unchecked for an entire game, so no surprise they won't seek these out!
The funniest part is the people who aren't in a position to be able to take it out complaining that no one can.
Like, bitch, you don't even know right now. That shit has infinite HP, surrounded by 6 turrets, and like two inches away from the enemy spawn. I watched a nano-boosted Rein try to take out the Shield Generator nest and fail completely. It's no joke.
4 tanks everywhere, because who needs dps or defensive characters?

Yea I think I'm coming around. I really love Ana, but Lucio Ana + 4 tanks is being used a lot. That should not be happening. Ever.

Yeah, Pharah's used to be my number 1 rage in competitive, especially since I suck as McCree and Soldier is usually taken. Now its these damn Symmetra's microwaving people with unchecked teleporters and generators.
Really hope Blizzard fixes Shield Generator somehow....the thing should decay over time, or as people regenerate their shields it should deplete from the generator. I can't believe they somehow turned Symmetra from one of the most useless characters into the most broken ones.

Guess Mei will get a qipao, someone else a cheongsam and someone a kimono for the rumored chinese new year event.

Rise Nation: "We feel like this is where our DPS can make individual plays"
This reads as so fucking NA lol. Good luck making individual plays against all these tanks.

That buds hook on the tracer while stuck in the graviton was godlike. Just goes to assert dominance. Rise has to be tilting pretty hard right now.
Today I found out most people can't really hear the sound cues for teleporter and shield generator. I guess if you're not playing with headphones it's hard to tell where they are. It's a big deal.
If D.va wasn't as good as she is now, there would be no good way to hunt down symmetra's shit.

This is ridiculous. There definitely needs to be some sort of change to get rid of the tank meta.
I think the biggest problem is there aren't any middle ground heroes - you have Reaper, Mei, and Bastion as 250-300 health, but everyone else is either tank or squishy. And in the current meta having more HP is just better than all the squishy abilities, especially because that HP comes with shields and damage barriers and not that much difference in DPS.
Unfortunately the way the game is designed right now there would have to be a ground-up restoration to equal out the meta.
You mean getting rid of the buff but keep the static heal and debuff? That sounds reasonable. I'd say either do that, or get rid of the static heal and keep the buff and debuff. That actually makes Ana more vulnerable too because she can't heal herself.
Garbage meta, Blizzard really needs to do something about it.
I don't think they'll ever show her body in normal "tight" clothing.
Reaper needs a buff, for the game's only supposed tank buster he's so weak. He never countered roadhog either. The only thing he counters is winston. He does nothing to D.va lol.
They could change him to deal more damage to tank class but same to remains same to everything else, I don't know, like increase the splash damage if center hits. Also roadhog has no business killing reapers as easy as he can.

The 'final' countdown to Sombra.
A buff to Reaper would also mean theyd need to buff Winston then because Winston's in an even worse place than Reaper. And he's already the tank that has the worst time with Reaper.
Power creep. Fix DVa, 76 and Roadhog and you wouldnt need to buff Reaper.

I have always been one to listen for sound queues, so I can hear them through my T.V quite easily. Especially character footsteps, how else are you gonna get the drop on that Tracer who has been stalking you as Zen.
Yeah it's weird what is the reason for that?
MLG better have gotten a huge cheque from youtube cause it doesn't seem worth it to get off twitch with this few viewers.

Too extreme imo. Ana's a high skill ceiling character that should reward strong players, just not this much. I thought the Dragonblade nerf from 8 to 6 seconds didn't go far enough, but I was wrong. A light touch is all that was necessary. Start with a light touch - Just decrease the boost% and then go further if necessary.
ActivisionBlizzard owns MLG.
Pharah does not fucking counter Pharah
Stop using Pharah if their is Soldier and MCree constantly shooting you down
Take out Pharah holy shit, she is fuckin discorded and weak!
A bad Widow/Hanzo does not counter a good Widow/Hanzo
Defense Matrix does not work with Symmettra, Zarya, Mei's main fire
Take out the shield generator
Stop picking Sombra when you have 0 minutes as her!
Comp is going to send me to the hospital one of these days
also wtf leave Ana alone!

Whats worse is that the quality is worse than it would be on Twitch, even though they can push the quality(bitrate) more on YT than Twitch. LUL

Lol I love how Pharah air battles usually just end up with both Pharahs getting annoyed and raining rockets on the others team until they can catch the other Pharah on the ground
Also please don't tell the D.Vas to stop. I build so much meter countering them as Zarya and Mei, they literally never learn and its so easy to turn a 6v6 into a 6v5 by de-meching them
Problem is, they've given her two slaps on the wrist so far. Ana has been broken for months now, if they just give her one nerf at a time, how long is going to take until she feels like a fair character?
Pharah is the bane of my existance. I saw one try to DM my hammer swings as Rein. It's sad but I'll take it!
