Just lost a no limits against 3 genjis who couldn't kill anything without using his ult. Seriously can blizz do something about genji. Ppl get carried by his dumb ass abilities
 
I play a ton of Mystery Heroes and keep seeing teammates switch characters during setup. It's often shown on the kill feed as -->PORTRAIT indicating they killed themselves....but these are players that have no means of doing so.

How are people essentially re-rolling in Mystery Heroes?

Most maps have a way of falling off the map if you're on Defense. On Offense, no idea.

Suiciding into pits on defense. One of the developers has mentioned looking into preventing rerolls in this fashion as it's against their vision for the mode.

I'm talking about during the actual setup. So inside the ship on KOTH maps and in the courtyard on Dorado attack.

I never actually see it, just the kill feed and the user comes back with a new hero. I'm wondering if they're able to quickly back out and come back in or something....

I've noticed this but I have no idea how it works.

Congrats! I think all of ow gaf has been rooting for you to hit GM for a while.

I appreciate the support, I would have had little motivation otherwise.

I placed the start of the season at 3009, my goal was just to hit Master. It's been a hell of a season.

Anyone else played thise season other heroes than their previous mains? Or plan to do so? What are your experience?

Genji and Tracer main here, although is my Tracer skills are way better than Genji's. Started to play Winston and Lucio more often lately. What fun characters to play! I love the survivability of Lucio, his Titanfall like speed-boost wall runs and the way one have to switch between heal to emergency save people or speed boost them for a push or just to make the movement pattern more irregular, the ability to climb up at locations and push enemies from the backline into yours or off maps.

Then we have the versatile Winston that can be dangerous to Pharah and squishy targets he can isolate with the bubble. Or save team mates with his bubble and can get quickly out of dangerous situation or jump after fleeing heroes. Or save himself when being pushed into dangerous zones (like enemies backline or off the map).

Played a game lately where the Ana always ultimated me. So fun to damage almost EVERYONE with the gun, tanking all this damage like a sponge and then, when the ult is about to expire start off his own ult and keep the rampage on! Totally badass. Just watch out for another Ana trying to sleep dart you or junkrat trying to trap you.

So, what are your experience with different heroes if you already have such?
 
Last night, I was trying to play Tracer and the opposite side went Triple tank.

I switched to Reaper and just melted them. It was funny cause you could tell they weren't used to ppl playing him anymore.
 
New voice lines are great. I feel like the Reinhardt one is referencing Tyrodin's videos. Unless there's someone else who yells Reinhardt over and over again like a crazy person.

They should go all in on 1v1 and just make a Quake. Add a ton of jump pads, collectable Torb armor and a quad-like item based on Mercy's Damage Boost. The tech is already there!

Honestly, a game mode where chars are just skins + what you said would be fantastic.

Although i guess it wouldn't work with how blizz have implemented the hitboxes.
Still, a proper tdm/ctf mode without skills and such sounds amazing.

They could even call it "retro mode" or something.

EDIT:
Yea, thinking about it, how would you balance weapons?
Shit, just make a "ranger" char that everyone plays in this mode and weapons would be pickups...

...I miss quake.
