This is the one.
Messed with the PTR stuff a bit.
Honestly, Roadhog's hook isn't nearly as bad as people think it is. A lot of people are pointing out extreme cases on stuff. Only thing I noticed was momentum breaking LoS has consistency issues?
D.Va seems pretty horribad at first glance but I dunno enough. She's still better than 500 mixed health against some stuff, but Solider straight up destroys her right now.
Ana's still the best healer but she can't sustain through multiple characters dumping burst damage anymore. I think she'll still be picked a ton on defense, but Zenyatta is actually more appealing for any aggressive team that doesn't need heal dumps.
There's some more minor stuff happening atm but nothing is screaming broke to me yet.

Yeah I tend to go zen nowadays if my team has a tracer/genji/dva/winston in any combination for dives, so this sounds like it'll be the patch for me.

I feel like I'm playing a really good Zen lately, but I can't win fucking anything. I've been watching videos for positioning, targets to focus, etc. And I seem to be doing everything right. I'm calling out everything even if my team is all silent. I'm trying to do this support main thing, but damn it sucks to keep losing.
I know I could be playing better, but it seems like I should be winning at least a little more than I am now. Wonder what I'm doing wrong...

Not that my zen is anything to write home about, but solo Q zen is pretty different to co-ordinated zen. Harmony your squishies, and while you can try to discord people and call out for your team to focus on, it's mostly better to just find where the fight is happening and discord then to make sure your team gets an advantage. Pub teams are too unco to focus fire.
Biggest thing to learn is transcendance timing. You really have to intuit when to trans to initiate the fight or to survive a fight. Learn to count the timing of enemy ults, but that goes for every support.
Also frag more.

I'd say I'm above average with transcendence but could still be better. I think a big problem is that I'm not sure when Zen is not working. Like obviously if a Genji/Tracer is destroying me then it's obvious. But sometimes you're doing your job but your team is getting stomped. And it's like 'Should I switch off Zen? Is he the problem?' I'm never sure what the solution is because obviously we still need a support and already have an Ana or Lucio. Will a Zen to Ana swap really change the game?
I know it could, but it's just hard to rationalize that in your head in the middle of a game, especially when you feel like you're doing your job.

My thinking between choosing ana or zen goes like this:
Does my team need sustain more, or do they need damage more?
Or if I'm going solo healer than it's ana because zen can't solo heal.

I'll be online after the championship game if any PS4 bros want to lose some comp games.

Lol that picture is gold.
Sometimes there's nothing you can do to stop the team from losing. I looked up your stats, our Zen stats are very close. I'm maining Zen for S3 as well, and I've been put into games where I'm the only healer. Shit happens.
Ugh, traumatic memories of coin flip just resurfaced.
Got hip to him last year. If this means I can actually be a DPS character (Pharah) online then ayyyyyyyy I welcome More zen players.

I love the DPS/support hybrid. Getting a cheeky charge shot around a corner is great too.
That sound when orbs hit heads... so good.
It damn well better be

I finally did it. Feels so good. I have been stuck in the 2700-2900 hellfire since the beginning of season 2. Turns out, lowering sensitivity and almost only ever playing Zarya works really, really well in solo queue.

In the current meta yeah, hopefully he gets his time to shine when the other tanks are nerfed.

I'm seriously going to cry when D.Va is worthless again. I really wish they'd just reset her health back to what it was pre-patch, with 400 armor and 100 health.
It's like she got a new meka made by tony stark, except it's iron man 3's tony stark where he made all his suits from aluminum.

Tank meta makes him useless cause everyone is so fat. Made worse by Ana heal.Winston not even on there
Hopefully with the changes we will see more Winston. Roadhog and Zen combos will shut him down easily though.
I dream of the day Winston will be OP.
Nano boosted Reaper ults was the end all, be all strategy. It was not fun.
The best representation of the seasons.
Thank god that was dropped.
Wrong pic for the 3rd meta.
That's good, real good. lol

Since the Oasis update I've yet to win a single match across any mode. Haven't touched comp in a long while just because there's no way I'm going to try it when the MMR matchmaking is this bad. Doesn't matter what mode I play - zero wins. I don't know what the fuck is up since the last patch but I'm getting frustrated to the point where talking about Overwatch is way more fun than actually playing it.
I'm always down to play if you don't mind my silence, lol.
This game is a snooze fest thus far.

Weirdly enough I was on a massive tilt loss streak before the oasis patch and then started climbing back pretty easily after the patch hits.

Now that I'm trying to always play support I'm consistently the solo healer and have to beg for a second.

I might start to play Sombra with this Sym-Torb strat. I don't really like her, but it works in QP. It's also very easy to destroy the shield generator with her, one clip is enough.
My favorite games are the ones when we lose because their team realized that our team only had one support and they focus me down. They usually proceed to bitch for not healing.
There have been a few games where I turned it around though. Dropping knowledge bombs in chat all day.

Just had a match where I went Rein because we had three DPS and two support. With thirty seconds left in the match I got my first kill and it gave me gold in eliminations. Those are the games I've been playing in since the patch.
I've never had so many shitty games in a row. At some point the odds would put me on a team with common sense or skill or something.

I already have my gold nuts. I probably should get something else soon because I'll probably hit the 6K limit once the season ends. I'm just kinda meh on gold weapons.

I'm gonna take you up on this. This support main thing is really killing me lately. And now my SR is low enough that there is a noticeable gap in the ability of our DPS heroes to kill things. With you maybe the SR will be higher.
i already have three golden weapons (dva,mei,zen) and guaranteed a fourth at the end of this season, so i might get sombra's weapon.
