Symmetra should definitely be a defense hero.
I can't tell if this is sarcasm, but if it isn't you're very wrong.

I mean it's not like hanzo was a joke last season. A lot of top tier players run him for the picks.

I've tried to dodge that by waiting to queue, only to get them again like two minutes later. Lol.

I love it when my team gets stomped, I re-queue, and get a spot on the team that just stomped. :-D
Like this guy got upset at our Soldier cause the enemy team got the jump on us when we were defending Numbani. Demanded he get off him and it was like the first 15 seconds of the game, lol.
Yes, it does, if it's your first time playing Competitive. What characters have you been playing?

The all soldier brawl with 100 health is more awful than usual after the soldier buff
We're 2 - 1 on Lijiang Tower and we lost the 1st time around on the Garden section, 2nd time around on it we're having a hard time pushing the right so I wrote in chat "Right isn't working, go left." D.Va goes "understood" and the rest of the team follows suit. Our Rein quickly gets in front and hammers down, I'm throwing my nuts at everyone, we're tearing them down left and right we take the point with 3 of us down and their team cleared. From then on they couldn't break through us. We kept the point on lock and win the game.
felt good after 3 losses

This will naturally force them to git gud besides, you can be their smurf =)

Good riddance. Not that I have anything against D.Va as a character, but I find using her a bore and fighting her a slog.

Dat Sombra cool down reduction.
Yep, correct and once you get "high enough" your ranked by numbers instead of % for instance my Mei.

heh, i'm not there yet. my Mercy is 97% so, pretty close.
Yesterday, I got matched with the same person on the same team for 3 games straight berating me after the 1st loss. Lost 2 games in total and won the 3rd one.

Can anyone who's played the new ptr changes say whether Roadhog is in a good spot or not? Thinking of buying one if his legendaries, if the hook is ruined I'll get something else.
Also is it true UV or Punk tracer call enemies wankers sometimes?

Her gun is underrated imo. It's strong. I think to make her better something needs to be done about her movement so maybe lower the cd on her translocater or eliminate the countdown after you throw it.
Dont sweat it, 97% is really good and alot of it has to do with playing time anyways. Even if Im in the top 200 in Mei, I dont think im THAT good. lol
It's useful because of the long clip allowing for sustained shots, but in terms of doing damage?

The hacking cooldown will do nothing to make hacking a player more than a death sentence. You should be able to hack while taking damage, even if they have to increase the time to hack.
It's honestly baffling to me that Blizzard consistently misses the mark on why Sombra actually sucks.

You're not wrong, but I am terrified of a world where Sombra is actually effective. Every ability she has is a piece of game design that I feel is made of antifun.
I actually wrote a while ago that I'm astounded that I didn't hate her, for what she brought to the game, but now it might be because I realize she just isn't very useful. If she does become useful and becomes everything I fear...*shudder*
Cut the time to getting in and out of stealth in half, IMO.

Let's wait on that shall we?
Also people need to stop equating not the best as totally sucks. There are some characters that do suck in this game but I'd call Sombra middling.

I disagree...check out some of the high level play of Sombra on Youtube or Twitch.... with the reduction time they are implementing with her with both hacking time and hacking cooldown I think she will see a big rise in usage.
You really think she should be able to one clip a 300hp hero? I don't think that would be good, even Tracer takes a couple of reloads.
No, but that blue spot is the equivalent of a headshot.
Had Tracer been in the same position, that bastion would be dead with one clip.
Well by looking at that clip, Sombra was going to do that in half a clip. I don't know what's there to complain about.
Antiwhippy

Tracers don't exactly stand dead still while shooting.
Well, I probably shouldn't have said one clip, because it's more accurate to say that Bastion would just be flat out dead with Tracer.
Tracer and Sombra don't do the same damage in the same amount of time frame. Tracer does 240 damage a second. Sombra does 160. Headshots double the damage of any hit. Since they were headshots, Sombra would need almost 1 full second to do 300 points of damage. Meanwhile, Tracer would need just slightly over half a second. Not enough time for the Bastion to register the damage and turn around, unlike Sombra.
And that's kinda shitty for sombra. Bastion is designed to be fucked over by attacks he doesn't see coming. If Sombra gets the jump on him with clear shots into his weakpoint, and somehow Bastion is the one that comes out of the fight alive, then a strong argument can be made to her just not doing enough damage considering she's part of the Offensive class of heroes.

You guys really want Sombra to be really good? Seriously?
Still don't really think she's bad. It's just healing is so good so there not much impact to health pack hacking.

That gif only tells me that the Sombra player has really shitty movement skills and reactions.
Sure, the Sombra could have easily outplayed with the nade. Teleport away when the bastion turns and finish the job when he starts healing. It's just that you'd think getting the drop on someone and hitting 100% crits point blank should be enough on its own. Especially on a hero that has no other source of damage.
I dunno, Blizzard seem to be very careful to ensure that everything about Sombra stays fair. But every viable hero has some bullshit in their kit.

Played 35 darned Comp matches today and started at 3000 SR (I didn't know it went down after time LOL) and ended the night at 3234 with a career high of about 3300!
Climbing feels so good ;_;

Health pack hacking is a great way to quickly level up your ult because every time your teammates use said hacked health pack, you charge your ult.
I guess they're learning from their mistakes.
