Yeah but people are slowly catching on in comp how to take 1st point/push.
Pick ana/rein, let rein take his shield down so you charge your ult and 45 secs later you boost him and he wipes their team. Works pretty much everytime. The only thing that seems to counter it is another nanoboost or a clutch sleep dart.

Not even that really. It's why people are playing more mei now.

ur on the wrong side of history here. thats why anas ult is getting a nerf soon. LUL

I don't even know what we are talking about anymore but there is a difference between making valid points about how powerful a character is, and calling them 'butt hole cancer' while misspelling words making it look like you are raging.
Unless you are on a competitive team or above rank 4000 or so, I stand by my 'git gud' if you complain about Ana.

That would have been a hyper aware and very reactive Reinhardt.

Nerfed as in like she takes an extra 10 secs to build it lol.
Might be enough to throw off the balance now though once people learn to use mei walls better to confirm kills and cut LoS.

My only complaint about Ana is that she is her own counter (Sleep Dart being the best answer to Nana's Old-Fashioned Vitaboost).

Did Blizzard say something about nerfing Ana recently? Am I missing something?

It's pretty good, but there are other ways (hook, freeze, wall, pin, earthshatter, snowball, whole hog, basically an CC ability)
I personally really like the sleep dart/nano counterplay. I mean you can argue that it's bad that it's reliant on one character but I like that there is counterplay to just pressing Q that takes some skill.
On ptr they reduced her ult charge by 20% or somethign like that and then made it so that her grenade has bigger range
thats fair imo

Oh, neat, not sure how I missed that.

I mean nano is pretty good, but the real crux of the 3T3S thing is that nobody fucking dies because her burst healing is insane.
Could be countered now though now that people are using that mei + reaper combo.

No he doesn't. Rein is staring forward with his shield up thus being able to see the tracer dash in, he is also in third person, thus being able to see he got stuck. It is not rocket science, you literally turn around and block it with the shield.

Yeah pretty much.
Gotta say, having done it, there's nothing more fun than watching a rein hold his shield up, trying to back up desperately and realising there's nowhere to go but to his death.

If he got stuck, how can he escape? Sorry if I'm misunderstanding something here

He wont escape but the other 3 that died wouldn't have.

Maybe it's a PC to console thing but if that Reinhardt had realized what was going on and turned around (with thumbsticks) fast enough to avoid it, it would have been impressive as hell.

Ah ok thank you!
It really is the worst when a teammate who is stuck runs right at you and then you die too LOL

Sounds like a little bit of salt is flowing here. Mei is at the reception desk to take your call.

Thought the new brawl mode would be fun. Instead it's mad annoying. Shouldn't have allowed duplicates in a team.

arcade is one of funniest brawls in a while. Wow.

I'm gonna go ahead and say that turning that fast is probably not possible on console.
I just played my first match of it and found it extremely boring due to hero stacking. I was on attack as Zarya and basically everyone else was Mei. It was just constant Mei ults and ice walls. They were extremely hard to kill too as they could ice over so often.
Hopefully the next round will be more fun.

What is the brawl?

Arcade Mode, Ana can chain her own Sleep Darts to keep you down.
So basically make a team of 6 Anas and have each one focus down another person on the other team.

Tonight was a night where if this were any other game, I would just shelve it and never play it ever again. Sheesh. Every single team I was put on - Quick Play or Competitive, was just complete dumbassery. The only game I won was where the team was just fucking around and played a 6 Lucio stack on Nepal. Every other game was a loss - it was unbelievable. You figure odds are at some point you're going to be paired with a team that has some sort of concept of how to play the game of Overwatch, but sheesh.
Tonight was real bad. Might just not play for a few days and work on some other games I've been meaning to get to instead. I'm getting way too annoyed.

I wasn't going to try to get close to them with my beam without a large charge. If you read my post, you'll see the number 4. 4 D.va's.
To add to that, her grenade heals 200 hp now supposedly. Though I am still not sure if it's a bug b/c it's not in the balance notes.

There's no way they're going to make it go live. It's basically a mini revive if that's the state it's at.

I'm sure it's possible, but it's a, "Holy shit! Did you see that?!" level event. I certainly could't pull it off.
with everything else on PTR that has gone live, you really think that won't?

I think they mean that you made it sound like you couldn't attack because of all the DMs, which Zarya's beam goes straight through.

It's not even stated as an intended thing though. That's a big enough buff that they'd list it as something intended.
The matchmaking in this game is Goddamn broken, I don't care what anyone says. How can every single game I've played been stacked against me in terms of grouped players? Of course I'm forced to play tank because no one will if I don't, and guess who gets gold in damage while blocking 25k.
Due to the fact that the assist aim make it dead easy to hit people now with her, she can pretty much melt anyone face off and the only way to counter her is to know where she is at at all time and not to shoot in her general location just in case she wanted to pop her bubble to that damage boost or to dps her down and kill her before things get out of hand.

I've 1 v 1 bastions as mercy and mekaless dva plenty of times.
She wasn't even strafing, ughhh.
I don't know, I haven't had much issue dealing with her. Her beam still isn't all that powerful unless she's higher energy, which takes effort to achieve.
She only has 2 seconds worth of bubble and 10 seconds of recharge. Bait her into using her bubble early and keep midrange distance if you can to stay out of her beam.
She's pretty slow and has little mobility. Also, 400hp is better than offensive heroes but isn't great for taking on multiple opponents. Two against one should be a piece of cake since she's big and slow. Just make sure to finish her off so that she doesn't get the chance to recharge her shields.
