Mystery heroes is SO GOOD.
Our team is getting steam rolled on dorado defense, then suddenly it decides to give us 3 roadhogs right at the awkward turn before the 2nd point. We were crushing with that for a while, double hook backs on tanks, picking off everyone, it was amazing. Then the other team gets gifted with double Zarya and we can't do shit. Laser beams everywhere. Then an attack torb builds a turret on the cart right and our double symmetra last stand was... ineffective.
Where has this mode been all my life.

OK, so yeah Sombra is cool, I like playing as her, but jesus dropping her in the middle of the competitive season, on console, is a disaster if you´re solo Qing.
Its pretty clear Sombra is good, but very situational, she doesnt work for every single map but shes an automatic lock now and for competitive thats not good. I wont touch comp anymore unless Im in a group...

All the Sombra mains in comp.
I have played other MOBAs regularly but this one was just not for me.
I have not played this much Winston since release.

Shes still fine. Not as over powered anymore but still very very good.They nerfed my BAE
isnt the max 5? How did you get 7?
leveling up
but why would playing Arcade make you level up faster? lol unless you get extra XP or something?
I mean he got the box from 1v1, the box from 3v3, then played games and leveled up and got 3 more boxes then 2 from leveling up.
He said he played for an hr and got 7 boxes. He didn't say that playing arcade would get you better xp than other modes. Why are you reading into it so much?
Lol ok, so does the Arcade rain loot boxes or not?
I mean every 5 days or week or whatever you're going to get a lot of boxes if you play arcade modes and get wins so yeah you can get more boxes every cycle.

Really liking Sombra, she adds a nice set of abilities into the mix. Doubt she'll be someone I can play well though so steering well clear of her for now.
Arcade mode is a big deal for me too, new modes and the new map have added a nice freshness to things. 1vs1 felt a bit slow, while 3vs3 has big potential. Having random heroes back is also fun, gained a new appreciation for Mei last night after spawning as her one time. What a nightmare.

Yeah I'm so glad it's permanent now. I've been playing it all weekend and I had so much fun especially with hitscan heroes that I don't usually play.
No/little knock back on her rockets
-Rocket Launcher
Minimum explosion damage has been increased by 13%
Minimum explosion knockback has been decreased to 0%

Man i think Sombra should at least be able to hack back a health pack from an enemy ://
No knockback anymore i believe

Fuck that change btw.
More air time, increased damage, and knock back reduced to 0%. Shes very difficult to counter now though the Knockback reduction is not a big deal and Ive still seen her kill people with the knockback, its just not as over exagerrated as before where you could be in the middle of the map and the knockback will knock you off the ledge.

It's not the killing ability of knockback that is the problem, it's that the knoclback allows her to knock soldiers and mccrees off aim that grants her some extra survivability. Now they can just keep pressing the trigger.

Man people really need to respect healers more! I rarely get any love for my healing and i'm a Lucio main in comp.
Perhaps that's an issue on PC but on consoles i haven't played with or against anyone using soldier or mccree that has consistently killed Pharah. It's usually Pharah destroying everything so i can only speak from experience. Im on the 3000s so i dont know if in the higher levels its more noticeable what you're saying

It's going to be different between both versions for sure, but as a pharah player i would take knockback over extra damage from badly aimed rockets. Also just seems to lower the skill ceiling for her which isn't fun. One of the best feelings playing pharah is aiming the next rocket calculating where the knockback places them.
Yeah, that's what I meant. Levelled up twice while getting the 5 bonus boxes, didn't mean to be vague.
lol, forgive me for like my third ever Sombra game. You're a good McCree, though.
Thanks. It's fine, I'm more on tilt by the fact that was like the 4th or 5th game in a row I had a Pharah on my team. As last pick.
Nerfing the minimun knockback means there's still knockback on some form, right?
What's the minimum distance a rocket must land from someone to knock them back?

We're still clinging on to hope. ;_;
Surprised to hear such negativity at 1v1. I think it's a nice break from the team stuff and helps you learn a lot about different characters etc.
Out of all the buffs and nerfs, the only one that disappoints me really is Torbjorn's armor generation. It just oversimplifies the character and gives him even less to do.
90% of players I encounter don't even understand how Lucio's healing works so I'm surprised they even noticed you were doing anything.

Haven't played as D.Va but kept forgetting her (mech's) health has been buffed when going against one. "Is someone healing her? Am I missing my shots?" She seems to be in a way better place now and I don't feel she's overpowered at all.
At the moment the more effective Sombra's I've run into employ hit-and-run tactics to good effect on healers. Penetrate the back lines, hack, unload. Her damage output doesn't seem on par with Tracer's but her stealth (easier time flanking or getting into position) makes up for it, in my opinion. I'd say she's more utility than offense.

Were you playing McCree on Numbani a few minutes ago by chance? Ran into someone on PC with your name on the enemy team.
both.
Only her knockback was nerfed, pretty much everything else was buffed. There is still some knockback form and you pretty much need to hit the target deadon for it to have affect. You can still knock people off ledges, displace people from roofs, payloads etc.
Her aerial mobility is much quicker and better than before. From the Pharah mains that I play with, all of them hate the knockback nerf but all can agree that Pharah is much stronger than before.

I'm surprised at how fun 1v1 is.
Yeah that's me. Y'all had some fucking rank going on too, was fun.
I never played Roadhog until I tried out 3v3 and completely wrecked people lol. Hes really good for that mode.

Yeah that was fun. Haven't played Overwatch in a few months, but I'm hoping to get back up to the skill level I was at before I stopped playing. The new quick play will definitely help with that
Haha yeah. I dunno if you checked but your team had a stack with 2 GMs and 2 Masters going on. Playing around that level is p fun.
