Also, Kungarna being bought by "Ghost Gaming" was really weird. Out of nowhere, this unknown organization with investors willing to put money down, housing, coaching, and other benefits. Kind of crazy.

Decided to jump back in after all my friends moved on, so solo it is, last played in November, so Quickplay it is.
Should have backed out immediately after I saw what my teammates picked, ok I pick a healer but we still need a tank and support, nope no one switches. Kings Row we basically got spawn camped, the only time we even got near the first point was because I switched to Reinhardt and just charged in, that was after I saw that one of my teammates switched to Zen ._. All in all I could pop 1 ult the whole game lol
If this was my first game I would say that this game fucking sucks but I know it's a fun game and I just convinced a friend to get it, hopefully we will get a better team composition when I show him the ropes or it is back to bf1

Would be a shame to see seagull move of dps imo when he seems to excel most in that role.Sypeh plays projectile DPS for a smaller team called Citizen7. He's a really good player (who is honestly held back by his team some), but probably the one who doesn't quite mesh with the team roles as they are. I suppose if he ended up on NRG, Seagull would swap to an offtank role. Seagull's character pool is pretty large though, so the idea isn't really that crazy.
IDDQD is an excellent player, but - from my knowledge - a fairly bad teammate. His latest stream showed him tilting a lot less, but we'll see. I think putting him and Clockwork in the same proximity for an extended period of time is like smoking while pumping gas. Eventually there will be an explosion.[/URL]- is getting me pretty pumped up. ᕦ(ò_óˇ
And yeah I've been enjoying iddqd's stream lately, don't see any of the rumoured extreme tilt on there at least. Kyb was the one getting into arguments with team mates on there yesterday lol
For all the D.Va players crying that their favourite toy breaks too often, our boy Geoff is offering some relief for you.

My second Legendary skin in a bout 20 boxes and its one of Widows dumb bird outfits. All I really want is Roadhogs event skin.

Meh.
Also that "Solution 1" from the OP doesn't make any sense. That's far from solution.
300/300 or nothing. Her MEKA getting rekt by every hero is real problem here. Even Sombra can hack you fast from behind now and end you in 2 sec.

Delete Dva from the game.
Make her Doomfists Ultimate.

Blocking Reaper's shotgun shots & Roadhog's hook are some great, if small, changes. I definitely approve of this approach than the extreme yo-yo'ed buffs/debuffs they have given in the past.
Besides, Geoff said that they are refusing to change her health/armour again (at least for the next little while.)

But they just did it with D.Va. While barely touching Ana for example.
Also they claim that they "fixed" Hog and his hook...
lmao

I reject that Battle.net OP's premise that Zero Mech D.va is a weakness. By virtue of her not being dead, she's contributing more than any other hero post-death, except occasionally Junkrat. In situations where time is of the essence, like during an escort, keeping an extra body on the objective can be the difference between victory and defeat. And with that extra momentum, she always has a chance to come back to full power (unless vastly outnumbered). It can be a critical difference in a match.
This is great news. Very sensible change and a huge boost to D.va's utility.
D.va might actually be in an OK spot after this. She melts instantly, but her survivability is still off the charts thanks to her popping out of her mech rather than dying. It can keep her in the fray far, far longer than other heroes.
(I just did well in a match as D.va so I'm feeling pretty good right now.)

Hardly. McCree, Widow, & Soldier 76 are other examples of going in extreme directions with their buffs/debuffs. With Sombra, they want to give small QOL changes to her (and any changes for the other characters) until they get it right, as they don't want another Ana situation. Speaking of which, it's going to be a fine balancing act for fine tuning her, as again, they don't want to simply nerf her into the ground & call it a day.
Exactly. I'm down with this approach for them fine tuning the heroes for the foreseeable future.
I think Dva should be able to DM hooks. It seems pretty unfair that Reinhardt can block it, Zarya can bubble, Winston can bubble and Roadhog can counter hook but Dva can't do anything to prevent the hook shredding her. I don't know if that would make her impossible to hook but she probably needs it with her current health situation.
Nah it's not fixed. I've been BS hooked twice. I didn't care about BS hooks that much before the patch but since they're supposed to not happen now, it's a bit annoying when you get pulled through 3 different dimensions.

I mean, something has to pierce D.va's defense matrix. There's scant few attacks (let alone weapons) in the game that can do anything against it, and it's essentially on a toggle. Pound-for-pound, it's the best barrier in the game.
It really seems like it sucks with the curret hog meta, though, so I get where that's coming from. A single hook might as well de-mech D.va.

Every tanks weapon beats the matrix (though winstons still gonna lose against her) and you got Symmetra.

CTF has such BM potential at times. The timer is running out as we're winning 1-0, and we manage to pick up their flag as the overtime counter ticks down. I was curious how overtime really worked in CTF, so I hid in the enemy base as our team captured the flag. With the score 2-0 and the overtime counter ticking down again, I managed to pick up the flag before the game ended and score to finish the game 3-0. I felt terrible
.
but only a little
roadhog's hook is a lot better now after patch
if you get hooked, you're pretty much dead unless someone either kills the roadhog or someone disables him
also I'm not sure I agree with this OT's general opinion of Mercy, I've had so much success with her in diamond, her rezz saves games.
Ana is still wicked strong dough

It wouldn't hurt to take a break. Sometimes you need to do so from certain activities, or else you'll burn out.

The shade of them giving DVa an iconic slay skin right after nerfing her to the pits tho.

Ive seen clips of Zenyatta capping the flag with team then Ulting all the way back to their own flag to get the point lol
Whenever I try that, a Zarya launches a black hole in my general direction, Mei wall's me off, or Roadhog grabs me with his hook.

Gotta go fast.
Also hog is slighy nerfed from before
Everyone needs to stop freaking out just because he can actually see play again now that every team doesnt require a Dva.
Most teams were running both a Hog and a D.Va. That was basic composition for tank meta along with a Reinhardt and Zarya. Hog never saw reduced play time to D.Va. If anything his popularity went up last patch by a lot.

Uh what, People were running rein+raodhog+dva, and before the dva buff they were running rein+roadhog+zarya. They never competed spots.

When I play Lucio, I like that I can react to teammates getting hooked and try to buy them some time.
Sometimes the Boop will even save them.
D.Va melts now though, gotta be smart with that D.M.

Alright, so Roadhog one-shot D.va's mech (at full health) after a hook, solo, just as Ana was ulting him. I choose to believe that he did it without her help.
nerf roadhog pls
nerf roadhog pls
The only way he did that was with the nano boost. That damage increase is justified by the use of that ultimate.

Playing solo in competitive gold is an utter joke. Won 300 and eventually lost it.
How are you ever going to reach higher ranks?

The funny thing are low level/silver players who want to dictate others what player they should pick an I'm like 'well better pick it yourself then'.
Also I hate how no one wants to pick support at all. I'm fine with sticking to Zenyata but being relegated to play the bitch for an awful team is truly an ungrateful job. Plus I feel that being a good support is highly tied to the overall performance of the team.
They said no event for Valentines day or Easter.
Maybe we'll just get a Hanjo skin. He kinda needs one.
Eventually, Overwatch is going to be saturated with events as the art assets build up overtime.
No kidding. That doesn't count the NEW Christmas stuff and NEW lunar new year stuff they're sure to add when next year rolls around. Actually, I do wonder what they're going to do with repeats. Bring back everything? Bring back some stuff with some new stuff? Bastions LNY skin references year of the rooster so maybe that won't be back, who knows.
I'm secretly hoping for more non-event skins but those seem few and far between. From a loot box sales standpoint, event skins are probably the best for them to be putting their effort into.

Are there any GAFers who want to team up for competitive gold? I'm stuck in the 2000-2300s. Just reply to this post or PM me

Blizz stay painting a bigger target on D.Va's back and leaving her to twist in the wind. If D.Va players thought they were being focused BEFORE... well, get ready! xD
