SO now that mcREEE and assmaker are nerfed, is this goty?
McCree didnt need a nerf, he was literally only viable in 1v1s
>Mccree nerfed because fags couldn't be bothered to adapt to his playstyle.
And so begins the downward spiral of nerfing and buffing champions into dust to the point where they're hardly recognizable and even worth playing anymore.
My only hope for you at this point is that you find satisfaction on the path you chose to follow, Blizzard.
widowmaker isn't nerfed if you weren't a massive shitter
>>341365759

How the fuck do tanks adapt to his playstyle? If he came across a tank, they were dead. That's complete bullshit. Especially when you have characters like roadhod, who straight up rely on close range combat and indoor fights to function.
I mainly played genji, so McREEE was never much of an issue, but it was retarded how he could melt the entire cast
>>341363746
Honestly he's never been a problem for me.
Then again, I didn't think any characters needed to be nerfed.
If i die to someone usually it's because they are better than me. I just have to get gud.
The only character I see as somewhat useless is Dva, but i've never really given her a fair shot.
These nerfs and buff seems very slight overall so hopfully >>341365641
is just being hyperbolic and the game play isn't affected very much.
>>341365913
>15 damage spammable shots
>skill
quickscoping is not skill, if anything sniping is more skilled now since you have to make your shots count and hit the head to be effective.
>>341365759
Snipe shot damage is being reduced from 15 to 12, so when you add the charge multiplier it does 120 damage instead of 150 damage.
This means that body shots will stop insta-killing squishies like Zenyatta.
However, headshot multiliers have increased from 2x to 2.5x, which means headshots will end up doing the same amount of damage as before.
In other words, only body shot damage was nerfed.
Seems perfectly reasonable to me, snipers shouldn't be getting kills from just body shots after all.
>>341367374
*roadhog
>>341363746
if they make pharah maintain momentum in the air then it will be.
>>341365641

>>341367374
Roadhog can kill mcree if he lands his hook.
>>341367990
That really depends I have 15 hours on the boss hog but sometimes when I hook him I just get flashed instantly
>>341367990
Mcree can stun roadhog before he gets dragged in
Nerf this
>It took Blizzard 1 month to change 2 variables
They need to replace flash bang with something like Jarate. Not only is having a stun in a FPS stupid as shit, it makes no sense for a cowboy to have a flash grenade.
Give him whiskey that slows everybody in an area and prevents them from using abilities or something.
>mfw all these McCheese faggot tears
God it's fucking glorious.
So does Mercy revive everyone in her targetting area? So, if 5 people die in the same spot, she'll revive all five.

Stuns are the ultimate casual gap closer in any MP game they appear in.
Overwatch is the ultimate casual shooter.
So stuns make sense.
>>341368364
yes, im not sure how big her AOE is, but it does pass through walls, unlike lucios aura
>>341368396
I fucking suck at widow now, I really got to relying on the quick scoping and twitch shooting. Going to need to play her more now and get used to it.
>Flashbang + right click
>Reload

>Somehow this is perfectly fine and didn't need nerfed at all, no sir
>>341367374
Depends on the tank. Since a McCree's go to method is to start off with a flashbang, you just need to avoid the flashbang.
Zarya can activate her shield, which makes her immune to control effects like the flashbang.
Flashbangs will harmlessly bounce off Reinardt's and Winston's shields.
I have no idea if flashbangs work on DVA's Defense Matrix though.
Problem is that if a McCree gets the jump on you, you're fucked. Plus, flashbangs can be thrown over shields to hit you on the other side anyway so it's not a guaranteed solution.
That being said, the problem is that McCree was designed to stop squishy, high mobility characters like Tracer. Stun them to stop them from running away, fan the hammer to kill them before the stun wore off. It's just that "stun and then empty my entire clip into you twice" is a good way to kill non-squishy heroes, which isn't what Blizzard had in mind.
McCree became an anti-tank hero AND a squishy hunter when he was only supposed to be one of those. It also meant there was no reason to take actual anti-tank characters like Reaper, who is designed specifically to take down tanks and can't do shit against high mobility characters like Tracer who will warp away the second they get hit.
>>341368449
McCree is the only character with a short CD stun.
Putting stuns in ults is fine but letting somebody use an aoe stun every 12 seconds is just pointless, especially when it doesn't even make sense for the character

You mean the minor slap on the wrist? He still has the most broken combo in the game with E+M2+Shift+M2 and can still destroy literally any hero in seconds. Hammer needs a cooldown, full stop. It can be something minor like 4 seconds, but it's still broken as is.

And yet the changes was something people already suggested 1 week after release
>>341368568
yeah uh...Mcree is...
he really needs that uh..
I... I'm sorry what were we saying?
>>341368223
They could do any number of things to it to make it only "slightly" nerf it.
Like, instead of it being a complete instant stun, it could just slow the player down to 1/4 speed like the last stages of Mei's freeze.
You'd still be at a disadvantage, McCree would still have the upperhand and ambush on you, but if you were quick enough, you could pop some ability to escape if your class has one. It's not going to save you reliably, and many classes are just SOL, but all those classes with "oh shit" buttons could attempt to use them.
There's any number of tweaks they could make to still give McCree a decisive upper hand in an ambush without completely taking away player control from the ambushee. Which I'm pretty sure is a hard rule in game design that you're never supposed to do anyway. It never feels "fair" if you die in a scenario where you've lost complete control of the player character.
>>341363746
Oh there was an update? What exactly got nerfed on those two?
>>341369045
1 week after release?
people were complaining in closed beta.
Y'know I'd be fine with Mcree even pre-nerf if his left click wasn't so godly. He would be a decent char if he ONLY had left click, fucker can challenge a widow with that thing
>>341368871
Oh wow you caught me I've played widowmaker in a game revolving around picks and counterpicks. Dumb shit.
>>341368847
>Can't actually aim for the head
>Calling other people shit
fucking kek
>>341369192
widow maker body shot damage and she unscopes after firing
mccree fan the hammer does 45 damage per shot now but the reload is faster after it.
>>341368223
>it makes no sense for a cowboy to have a flash grenade
>makes no sense for a cowboy
>makes no sense
>sense
And a talking monkey that runs at people with a taser is logical to you?
>>341369178
You basically need to add something like not letting the character use their abilities to it if you changed it because he is supposed to counter high mobility characters like tracer and genji. So a root/snare + not being able to use abilities would achieve the same goal without taking away control from the player
>>341368593
Zarya is the only tank who can deal with the flashbang properly. But even then, Mcree can just wait for her shield to wear off and hope his team isn't being retarded and feeding her charge.
Mcrees can deal with reinhardt's shield by chucking the flashbang over it. The range is that large that this actually works.
Winston's barrier is far too weak to reliably protect winston and Mcree can just back away from the shield to bait winston out
>>341369368
>Anything countering widowmaker but another widowmaker
nigger it took two winstons to shut her down effectively that is two heros for one
>>341369460
Yes because I know his backstory
>>341363746
McREEEE's purpose is to be a duelist that counters annoying backline shits like genji and tracer. He wasn't meant to be able to kill a tank in less than a second.
He plays exactly the same after the change other than he can't cheese tanks like roadhog anymore
Widow is basically just as good after the change, I couldn't tell a difference because I'm not a shitter scope spamming body shots
>>341368847
you need to go outside
>>341369519
I picked widow to counter other widows at least 75 percent of time I played her.
>>341369192
See >>341367462 for Widow Maker.
Plus, when you exit sniping mode you can't re-enter it until your animation for putting the gun down ends. This was to prevent quick scoping.
As for McCree, his Fan the Hammer damage is reduced from 70 to 45. However, to compensate his before-reload time has become faster. It now takes 0.3 seconds instead of 0.75 seconds.
>>341369714
sure faggot
>>341369469
>So a root/snare + not being able to use abilities
I'd be totally okay with that.
Particularly if you're going on the theory that McCree is supposed to counter escapers like Tracers, Reapers, and Genjis.
But even if his only job was simply "ambush killer" it would still make him work. His fan the hammer just needs you to sit somewhat still while he does it. It doesn't need you to be completely AFK/control-less.
>>341369986
>the theory that McCree is supposed to counter escapers like Tracers, Reapers, and Genjis.
>theory
You mean what he was made for originally.
>McCree not nerfed enough
>Widowmaker is now useless
>Zarya and Mei are up next
>Reinhardt and Roadhog still aren't getting nerfed
Let's see how this goes.
>>341369986
>Theory
Nigger the devs themelves stated the answer for Genji and Tracer is mcree there is no theory
McCree's nerf was good
Stopped him from being able kill everyone, while still allowing him to kill most squishies like he should be doing. If anything it's more worthwhile to start playing him now as Genjis and Tracers are going to be more common after these nerfs to two of their bigger counters.
If anything Widow's nerf was way too slight.
>Didn't reduce her fire rate
>Didn't reduce her charge rate
Which is fair enough, seeing as reducing her bodyshot damage reduces the DPS that those two provide by proxy, but...
>Didn't do anything to fix the godawful hitboxes
Good widows are still going to run fucking rampant because they can just slug round after round rapidly into your face by firing within a meter of it. Not to mention they didn't do anything at all to address her bullshit mobility and her smg being stronger that fucking S76's rifle
>>341369519
Can't you just use DVA? Defense Matrix, boost up and crash into her. Cushy 50 damage right there. Melee her as your shields wear off for another quick bit of damage and then shoot at her.
Console faggot here, do these changes apply there as well?
I'll be honest, I've been having trouble playing McCree as is. I'll concede that if I had mouse aiming, at least 70% of the problems I have playing him would vanish. His primary fire has good headshot damage, I can just never hit shit with it much less get headshots.
A shame, too. He's my favorite hero in the game but I'm worse with him than my other two most played heroes.
>>341368223
>it makes no sense for a cowboy to have a flash grenade.
He has a flashbang because he used to be part of Blackwatch. He's not an actual cowboy, he just dressed like. It's like 60 years in the future.
>>341370086
widowmaker is completely fine now
i hope they don't nerf zarya, if anything i want them to give her a buff that makes her jump further with her alt fire when she has more charge.
>>341370285
Theoretically yes but D.VA's headbox is so ridiculous that Widow can kill her 1v1 even at short range.
>>341370285
>see dva flying too me with her matrix up
>grappling hook away towards my team
no only works on shitters Winston had a short enough cd on his leap and movement speed to keep up with her but hes so easy to kill it takes two of him to be effective.
>>341368223
Well, he's a CYBORG cowboy FROM THE FUTURE. If anything, it makes no sense for him to use an antiquated revolver when he could be using a laser gun or something.
>>341368223
>>341370318
Yeah he was an arms dealer before Blackwatch and seems like somewhat of their quartermaster going off what he says to Reaper.
The flashbang is really the only gameplay reference to that he has. Everything else is all cowboy
>>341370549
Does anyone actually use lasers? That could be why he's using a 'modern' six-shooter.
>>341370568
>Everything else is all cowboy
Which is funny since his old gang was from the south, not the west.
>>341370706
His gang is from arizona why a map is route 66, that map takes place in Arizona that southWEST
Honestly I played the game a ton in beta, I've played it a ton after it came out and I thought it was extremely well balanced, the only things that I thought were glaringly wrong, was McCree having no weak points and shredding everyone, and Widowmaker being able to shut down entire teams while being super mobile and hard to flank because of fart mine damage and notifications, and lets not forget that her Assault Rifle mode is fucking higher dps then 76 so even getting close to her and killing her isn't a sure bet.
Both of these were really good changes and they'll allow a lot of other characters to shine now that 2 characters are completely invalidating them. The only changes I think left before the game is completely balanced are some small tweaks and maybe buffs for characters like D. Va and possibly zeneyatta
>>341366712
Fucking good you cancer.
>>341363746
this is fucking tame compared to most multiplayer game nerfs lately. They actually feel balanced. Problem now is the heroes that still suck ass like zen and dva
>>341371270
I love the fact that Dva is shit. Dva players don't deserve anything else.
>>341370706
Zarya and Symmetra have laser beam shooters.
Tracer has some weird plasma/pulse gun thing.
While it's not a laser Winston has a lightning gun.
I'd argue DVA's fusion cannons are probably something like a laser gun, since it doesn't use up physical ammo and they look like green laser shotguns.
Lucio's megaphone gun is arguably counts too.
Soldier 76 has a pulse rifle and pulse rifles are generally understood to be basically ray guns.

>DVA is shit
Boosting people off the map and never dying sure is shit ;)
>>341371270
Zen's not too bad, I've been doing pretty well with him recently. The only things that suck really hard are being one shot by Widow, which is now gone, and maintaining line of sight on people who are rushing in so your orb will continue to heal them. The only buff I think he needs is his orb remaining for 5 seconds instead of 3, so throwing an orb on someone is a guaranteed minimum 150 HP heal unless you die or throw the orb to someone else.
God 70 damage fan was so stupid. It's accurate enough that dice rolls worked out in your favor and you didn't even need to flash and point blank people with it. I killed multiple people from full health in single fans with McCree before the nerf. One behind the other, dice rolls usually worked out in your favor and they just died.
>>341365913
> quickscoping
>a skill-based technique for high level widow maker play
lmao
this is litearlly cod gameplay
>>341370231
They addressed the mobility, you can't quickscope for high movement speed between shots. Plus it provided ~20% less shot time.
>>341371874
It's worse. CoD had better hitboxes.
Unless you're talking about the console version with its aim assist.
>>341363746
Play shitty game get shitty results
Widowmaker still needs to be nerfed. Her assault rifle is way too fucking good for a sniper to have
>>341363746
Never encountered a problem with McCree. His fucking flash bang is annoying as all fuck but they're hardly going to remove that all together, and if that stays in I don't much care who he kills with it.
What they ought to be doing is buffing other characters. I know they have something in the works for D.va, but Pharah is a piece of shit.

Where's the change log?
>>341372341
>He can't lead rocket shots
I agree that she needs more splash but if you don't have over 45% direct rocket hits don't play phara you shitter
>>341371713
Considering getting opportunities like that without getting your ass shredded is rare, then yes.
>>341372150
Overwatch's hitboxes are more strict than other class based shooters like TF2, TFC, Enemy Territory and especially QTF. The Quake engine games had particularly massive hitboxes if you moved towards a 45 degree angle from the target.
>>341372481
>stationary target
>fire rocket
>notices I'm firing
>moves slightly in any direction
>complete miss
Even aiming at their feet its easy to avoid. Complete turd character. It's too big a change so they'd never include it but she could do with a small pistol like Mercy or D.va
>>341372708
>He shoots from where people can see you
You're playing phara wrong son.
>>341372481
The thing is though, there's not much of a reason to get good as Pharah. You can play other DPS classes that are more effective and require MUCH less skill. I mean, McCree's bullets might as well be a hitscan rocket. If she were allowed more air movement and had a bit more health, maybe she'd be more viable to play.
>>341372708
I think her knockback missile doing a small amount of damage so she could actually finish targets would be a pretty fair change.
>People saying Zenyatta is underpowered
Zenyatta is high level. With discord orb you basically can pick whichever enemy you wish to be eliminated (whichever one annoys you most), orb them, and watch them melt. Also go around corners with charged up orb volleys
>>341372441
it didnt do anything
hes still untouchable top tier and widow still controls the flow of every top level game
>>341372916
Mate mcree can't go nearly as many places or get there as fast as phara can on top of not having a very good knockback that can be used to save key points of the game. I agree she is on the weaker side of the attackers and does need some buffs but direct rockets aren't one of them.
>>341371690
>getting triggered over it
>>341372897
Do you even know what line of sight is?
>>341372948
Maybe. It'd definitely help. Her Ult is a huge problem still though
>>341373195
Do you know Phara can attack from almost every direction with her fucking rocket jump and jet pack? You are suppose to be above and behind them as phara motherfucker.
>>341373057
So why is he picked literally zero times in tournaments outside of curbstomps where an established team memes all over some new guys with whatever.
I hope Blizzard doesn't nerf Torbon consoles
>>341373195
Her ult is about the same as Reaper's. Sometimes, I use it/see it used and it's shut down incredibly easily. But sometimes it's used in just the right spot/at the right time and it wipes out everyone and changes the entire game.
Ultimates don't need to be instant kill everyone on the map with no counter buttons.
>>341373405
>tournaments
esports go home
>>341373057
Mercy + Lucio is high level. There's no reason not to have both of them as your supports at the same time. These two together make it so your team hardly dies + a damage boost from Mercy. Zenyatta's heals are super slow, so you better be pumping out 10k+ damage every round to make him close to viable.
>>341373064
Alright cool, so now instead of shitting on literally everything in the game, it just shits on literally everything in the game except 3 classes if they're at full health.
At least widowmaker can't glitch through reload times and bodyshot a zenyatta.
>>341373057
Zen's main problem was that body shots from Widowmakers was instant death, which will no longer be the case.
He's pretty much a glass cannon though. In fact I think of him as a healer in the same way I think of 76 as a healer. They can do it, sure, but you shouldn't make that your primary role.
Shove a harmony orb on a front liner like Zarya, shove a discord orb on someone else and take shots while in cover.
>>341373357
Or, even underneath the map.
>go under the final point of King's Row, pop up on the other side, unleash Rocket Barrage
Got a POTG the three times that I've tried it
>>341363746
i love the taste of Mcree mains' tears, more than half of them just dropped him completely, it's great.
>>341373064
>>341373545
You guys will complain until they remove him completely, am I right?
>>341373405
Because in tourneys there are very good players, which means if someone picks Widowmaker they will be very good at her and shoot you the second you walk out from a corner.
Maybe we'll see more Zenyattas now that he won't instantly die though.
>>341373572
Zenyatta excels with people who can heal themselves, or just have generally low HP anyway. Playing Zenyatta when you have a D.va or Winston is the worst, you can't heal them fast enough. But if you had Roadhog, Bastion, Mei, Zarya and Tracer, it's gonna be great.
>no junkrat nerf
more free wins i guess
>>341373747
Make his flashbang not a "if you're within a mile of me you're stunned" and I'll be happy.
>>341373506
>b-but muh high level play
>fuck off tourneyfag
Make up your mind.
>>341373787
Or as a secondary support.
>>341373357
What kind of tards have you been playing? Is the enemy team all just stood shoulder to shoulder facing one direction for you? An even halfway competent team is aware enough to notice when someone is firing fucking missiles at them. its takes at least 2 rockets to kill any full health character in the game, rockets fire 1 per second. The only strategy left would have to be hit and run, except for the ridiculous cool down on her thrusters. Bitch needs more health at the very least.
>>341373427
Sure, but when was the last time you ever saw someone get play of the game with a Pharah Ult? At best, it pushes people off an objective rather than doing actual damage to a team

Nigga if you are having a team vs team battle you should be up in the air behind the enemy team blasting them they should be distracted with your team so you can rain damage.

he doesn't really need it, he only KO's with two direct hits if you could actually aim. the splash damage is garbage, the only reason it works is that it baits people into moving into an area where you can direct hit them. traps are easy not to step into if you have eyes and i guess thrown mines are sort of annoying. the only nerf i think is gonna happen is mine boosting. i main a Junkrat and never have issues playing against him myself because i know him inside and out, im guessing you're the same.
>>341368656
That was cringy as fuck faggot.
>>341367390
A full charged body shot only does 30 damage less than before, I'm totally okay with this as a widow main
>>341374035
I've gotten it several times. I've also seen other people get it.
Reinhardt on the cart, shielding, him and his team think they're safe and can take the time to line up shots on me as I come around them. Rockets eat through the shield and they all die quickly. Of course, that doesn't happen every time, but neither does getting 3 people with a Riptire without someone destroying it before it arrives.
>>341373747
ill complain until he actually has a counter and doesnt make every other attack character redundant just by existing
>>341372569
Defense Matrix boosting and also using boost to escape fire works too. Also Dva has great survivability. A Dva cannot be one shot while in her meka. The disengage gives great survival. Additionally when she's outside of her meka her gun packs a serious punch and has great range. So long as you're not a sitting duck you can do some serious damage with that thing. On King of the Hill maps Dva is insanely good. There's enough cover on the points that you can move in and out of cover, boosting and doing serious harassment. Also environmental kills on Nepal Temple and Illios Lighthouse and Shrine. Above all the Self-Destruct ult works better in King of the Hill maps as all the attention is on one point.
If you're playing Dva like a tank, you should play her more like a bulky Tracer.

>just put this highly inaccurate, low health character behind enemy lines, the enemy will be too busy, I swear :)
>>341374371
This basically. A lot of people complain that a character is terrible in a 1v1 situation, but this is a goddamn team game. Like, Zenyatta would probably lose 1v1 against just about anyone but that doesn't make him a terrible character. He just isn't designed for that.
>>341374669

Mei if she iceblocks just before he tosses the nade
Roadhog if you're competent enough to hold M1 while hooking or just M2 at the right distance
Fucking anyone that can shoot from farther than five feet away
>>341373064
Reaper can ghost away by holding shift and get away or line up a point blank headshot. Mei might now be a reasonable McCree counter for similar reasons. Other squishies have to have a majority of the shots connect meaning he can't spam people down from medium range nearly as much, especially if he burns the roll to close the distance and flash. This was a substantial REE nerf.
>>341374035
>Sure, but when was the last time you ever saw someone get play of the game with a Pharah Ult?
Earlier today, immediately after I cyka blyat'd the entire team. Still needed to shield her but it worked.
Who Zarya here?
Sure she isn't always the best pick in all situations but I been playing with her more recently and man, I still need to work on my lg tracking but I realized I had mouse acceleration on (whoops) and now my aim has been significantly better.
Plus high energy makes me feel like I got a huge fucking dick. The fact that lightning gun goes through a lot of shit is awesome. Really like her, what do you all think?
>>341374810
Already been discussed earlier, as soon as someone can see Pharah, the rockets are so slow a couple steps in any direction will cause a complete miss
>inb4 the enemy shouldnt see you coming!
Again, rockets do 120 damage firing 1 per second, even TRACER would take 2 hits to kill at full health. As soon as you've hit them once it isn't hard for them to figure out where youre firing from, and if they move in any direction but the one you expect them to try, then you've missed.
>>341374035
>Sure, but when was the last time you ever saw someone get play of the game with a Pharah Ult?
I got one two days ago on temple of anbuis. Faggots tried stacking two torbs and a bastion with Reinhardt in a corner
>>341375152
She's next on the chopping block, enjoy her while she lasts.
>>341375152
I've been using her more too and I'm getting the hang of her but I still hate her hair and the fact that only 2 of her legendary skins fix that is unacceptable.
>>341375310
fuk.
RIP slow quake queen
>>341375219
You can force their direction for a predictable followup shot by using E.
>>341375219
And as I pointed out with your early statement if they can see the rocket that easily coming at them. It is your fault and that not effect her accuracy. Accuracy means how the rocket actually reacts and flies on it's path not how people react to it.
>>341375219
her rockets are extremely powerful
>>341374887
That's amazing then. I'm glad Blizzard took it into consideration, shows they at least give half a shit about console players.
Not that I want to shred tanks with McCree or anything, my issues with optimizing him are totally different, but I'm glad that future patches on both ends will be tailored to their respective platform.
>>341375219
Do you not know what accurate means? Her rockets do exactly where you aiming they have pin point accuracy...
>>341375310
You are adorable thinking she'll get nerfed anytime soon.
>>341375335
Yeah, honestly I think all of her cosmetics and emotes and lines and shit are pretty fucking meh tier. I get she's buff lady wimminz stronk but it kind of hurts her character. Plus yeah the cybergoth legendaries are disgusting.
>>341375152
I love her so much. Nothing is more satisfying as bullying with a Zarya.
>>341375581
It's not because they care all that much, it's because you have to pay per patch for console games.
>>341375621
I don't mind her being a big buff strong woman, I just don't like that her hair is bright fucking pink. What kind of strong woman would have bright fucking pink hair outside of an anime? Even in anime it would look dumb.
>>341375468
>B-but they shouldn't see it coming!
You're just saying the same shit over and over again
Fucking long range character, slow attack, at least 2 direct hits necessary to kill even the weakest character in the game. If you've been playing against idiots who can't figure out where Pharah is firing from after the first hit, then good for you
>>341375517
Stupidly easy to avoid, discussed above.
>>341375310
>considered one of the more difficult classes to play
>only does good damage when max charge
>lowest health of all the tanks
Other than lowering her shield amount on teammates, as 400 is an absolute fuckton, she's more or less fair.
I'll admit that at max charge with a Mercy on her ass she's an absolute nightmare, but people quickly learn not to shoot her with that bubble around.
>>341375152
My favorite thing to do as Zarya is pair up with a S76 and go strike team. Can really fuck over an entire enemy team while the rest of ours has thumbs up their asses pretending that having two Hanzos, a Widow and a Torbjoyn on attack is a good strategy. She really needs an aggressive team to play well though.
>>341375910
I am saying the same shit over again because you are, also her rockets have pin point accuracy look up what the word fucking means Jesus Christ how can one motherfucker be this dumb, 120 damage is one of the hardest hitting bullets in the fucking game. I don't understand how someone can be this stupid.
>>341375152
Very strong in the right hands. Which aren't mine, to be honest.
But she can protect her team mates from death or just wade into the firing line and give as hard as she takes. Plus her ultimate is useful too. I've been experimenting with firing it into the pit in that one Greek KOTH map to see if I can suck an entire enemy team into the hole and I'm getting some positive results.
Plus she's a good Bastion counter. Just run up to him, take the shots and then blast him to pieces.
>>341376027
It's only 200 shield, isn't it?
>>341376257
200 on her, 400 on teammate. Combined with just an 8 second cooldown makes it amazing on aggressive players.
>>341375219
Have you considered that perhaps Phara isn't designed to kill heroes then? Maybe she's supposed to kill weakened heroes or soften them up for the team. Or provide covering fire and pin enemies into place.
>>341371797
I love Zenyatta. He may be super squishie, but that Discord Orb is amazing. Plus his ult is great for blocking big pushes from your enemies. I've had a lot of really great games with him lately and I feel like he can make a huge difference in how well your team handles your opponents.
I do agree about the orbs remaining for 5 seconds instead of 3 though. It would make all the difference in keeping your team mates alive / guaranteeing that kill assist with a Discord Orb without having to be completely in harms way.
>>341376203

>>341376420
Mate if she had fast rockets on top of all the other tools she has all you would see is phara. There is a reason she all ready got hit with more then one nerf in the closed beta and she is still strong in the right hands. Just because you can't play her make her bad

>>341375907
Believe me, I have nothing against her being big and strong, they just portrayed it in such a pedestrian way.
>>341363746
why do devs for all multiplayer games make nerfs in such a heavy handed way? you don't have to make characters completely no viable in every nerf. mcree's fan the hammer damage was cut by almost fifty fucking percent. all he needed was a modest damage decrease and a modest health decrease. fucking morons
>>341376628
I've found so many bitch-ass spots where he can hide and just rack up the kills with impunity. Bastion is great if you've got a buddy with you to give you some cover while moving.
>>341376636
I'm not suggesting give her faster rockets, give her more health, lower her cool downs. i am justing pointing out the half dozen issues that make her complete shit.
you could fix any one of these issues and she would be fine. Give her more health, or give her faster rockets, fuck you could even bring her rockets down closer to 100 or even less than that if they moved faster.
my entire point is Blizzard are wasting their time on a non-issue with McCree when there are other characters that just need buffing.
And dont even bother with a "git gud" argument, you've made it very obvious you play against retards who can't figure out where a fucking rocket came from when it hits them in the face.

I know. You mad?
Kind of hard to block with no shield.
Best part is when it starts cracking, then everyone and their mother starts to try to break it.
Best part is letting you walk by, blasting you in the back, then watching you panic as you decide who to block, me or my team in front of you.
>>341377509
Adapt, play literally any character capable of long range. Doesn't even have to be a sniper, S76 for example, Genji is a good tactic because his shuriken have a lot of distance and he can reflect the flash bang if you get in too close.
Never once seen McCree be too much of an issue against tanks, almost all of them have some kind of shield.
This would be like complaining about Bastion's mini turret, sure it's OP but it's pretty simple to get around. in fact, if anything Bastion is more annoying because he can camp very successfully.

Fuck no you wont, if im shooting at your shield when you charge, my bullets in flight will hit you as you charge winds up and i will kill you before you even get close.
The only time i have died is when you suprise me from the side or something.
Aside from nerfing, and buffs and all that other shit, I wish Blizzard would give us more maps with ways around choke points. It's really starting to bug me. I can think of a couple maps with unavoidable choke points, for something like Temple of Anubis it isnt so bad, but the one on Hanamura is pretty annoying. A couple times I've had the enemy team playing 3 or 4 Torbjorns and a couple Bastions. Basically impossible to get through at that point, if you can see a turret, the turret can see you. Trace can blink through to safety but has no hope of killing multiple turrets ever. Typically they're all at different angles so if you're attacking one the others are probably shooting you to pieces.
It's just poor map design to include unavoidable choke points. I understand it's to give the defending team an advantage so the game doesn't end too quickly. ToA has cover and there's rooms to go for immediately so you're out of the line of fire, but the vantage points in Hanamura have a pretty good view of anyone coming through the gate, even if they make it through.
It may just make sense to impose a penalty on teams that have more than 2 of 1 character. Make them take slightly more damage or something to discourage exactly these sorts of bullshit noob strats.
>>341379495
Been noticing that too. A lot of maps are quite good aside from one horrific chokepoint. They just need to add a small alternate route so the more mobile characters can move to flank, and so the defenders have something to do other then assist their turrets.

I give this game three years before it's 100% dead, tops. That's the most optimistic result.
>>341379495
Hanamura's A point is a pain in the dick to attack and just boring to defend.
One more opening would be perfect.
>>341380024
>just change to [class hardcounter] is the response to any complaint in balance
Yes. Because that's the point of the game. Overwatch is about counterpicking and actively changing your team to go against what the other team puts up.
>>341380221
>thinking that's a good thing
>>341379495
Half of the characters can easily flank, either because they have abilities that can get them up through the hole on the left, or they're fast enough/have abilities that can get them to the flanking route before they can get cut down. Sure that means any decent defenders will move to intercept the flankers, but that means their attention is divided which means the main entrance is less defended.
Move around and back each other up, not even 6 Bastions can cut people down fast enough to avoid being flanked.
>>341380513
Which would be fine, in any map where you have monouverability, but this is exactly what Im saying you don't have. ToA isnt so bad, get through the gate,get to cover, you'll probably be okay. But Hanamurra has one gate that is completely unavoidable, you can't go round it at all, and theres no easily available cover, you go straight into a courtyard with paths to your left and right, only, theyres vantage points all around the courtyard. If you manage to duck into a building on the right, a turret on the left can see into that room and shoot you still. The path on the left is better but you need to be very fast to make it, usually Tracer, maybe Genji, and once you're up there you can start going for turrets, except all the turrets can see each other and if you attack one the others will be shooting you the whole time
There is no good way to flank because you physically can't flank. You HAVE to go through this choke point to even attempt to flank.
>>341368568
We need a tank killer
Reaper and Rocketslut are too slow at it.
>>341381271
The distance from the gate to cover is short enough that all but the most immobile and squishy characters can get to it. Yes they'll take damage but that's why both flanking paths have health pickups.
>>341377242

>implying
Where did I say that's a good thing? I just said that's what the game is based on.
>>341381271
I've been just suiciding myself as Reaper or Genji, because the turrets still shoot you even when you're a ghost or deflecting, and some enemies turn to kill you. Eventually gives the team enough time to get in, but unless I somehow live or get a lucky deflect to kill a turret we usually get shredded.

Zarya takes skill, and does a ton of damage.
I think all but D.Va will be nerfed. No tank should do damage without some major sacrifice (IE: Reinhardt tackle, Roadhog hook that puts the enemy right on you. In both those cases, they do LOADS OF DAMAGE on top of those things.)
Why do tanks get to do damage?
>>341381271
Tanks exist. Except for Roadhog, all of them have defensive abilities that will protect your allies long enough for them to make it to cover, and all of them have abilities that can get themselves to cover when that's over (Rein less reliably than the others). Hell, Zarya thrives on that chokepoint because not only are you keeping your teammates and yourself safe until they get to cover but you get a massive damage boost from it as well. Her only problem is she can only cover one ally every 8 seconds.
>>341381629
I dont think you understand the situation I'm describing to you. I'm talking about 4 or 5 turrets basically with a view of the entire courtyard, and all the other turrets. It's a massacre. Thats almost half a dozen turrets focussing fire on the one line of attack, and if you make i through, you still have to deal with some of the turrets. If you can see a turret to shoot at it, it can see you, and more than likely the other turrets can see you too.
Most characters will not make it to cover without losing half or all of their health. Tracer and Genji can at least dash through but they have little hope of taking out all of the turrets because they can see and defend each other.
Just putting in a single path around the side to allow the team to split up would make all the difference. Unavoidable choke points are simply bad design. I know they want to give defenders the advantage, but if there's strategies that mean attackers will just never get through the choke point, thats bad design.
I'd be interested to see just how many times defence has won on Hanamura, I bet it's far from 50-50

No it's fucking not tracer is suppose to be her counter and she flat out made Zenyatta useless
>>341382452
I know exactly what you're talking about because I've encountered the same situation and won. First off, the cubbyhole on the upper-left cannot be defended by all, or even most, of those turrets if they can still cover each other and the gate which means plenty of characters can get through just on that alone. And even 6 level 2 turrets do not have enough combined DPS to wreck all but the squishiest targets in the under 2 seconds it takes someone to run to cover. And once you are in a position to flank, you're not taking on all the turrets at the same time which means you're fine as long as you're not stupid enough to play all close-range characters.
Honestly, in that scenario the Torbs can be more annoying than the turrets themselves.
>>341368568
Enjoy getting buttfucked by 2 Roadhog teams now stupid rabbit
>>341382834
Yeah, maybe. i don't play Zenyatta, so I don't know what it's like for him, but I can't really think of many times I've even been killed by Widow Maker as Tracer. There's a couple where i was a complete retard and blinked directly forwards as WM was aiming down sights at me, but Tracer is so manoeuvrable I think it's pretty fair a body shot ought to kill her, I can't imagine many people are getting shots on Tracer in the first place

Most people here are saying the choke zone is a bad thing.
Ignoring the fact you're talking about Torbjorns and I specifically mentioned Bastions were included in this set up (with a higher rate of fire, more damage, and self healing) saying that you made it through this one time with this one strat doesn't mean the map shouldn't have a better way to flank. It's still poorly designed and still is a massively unfair advantage to the defenders if they choose to take advantage of it

>>341381935
Wait don't you need to buy an adapt-tor?
>>341383769
Bastions can be more reliably countered, both due to their higher rate of fire making them more counterable with Genjis and having a player at the helm makes them more counterable with any mid or long range character. Torb turrets are more of a threat in that situation.
Hanamura is only an issue on solo quick play. Any coordinated attacking team should not have a major issue. Yes it favors defense but all three of those maps do.
>>341384350
>Hanamura is only an issue on solo quick play.
>Yes it favors defense but all three of those maps do.
It has two chokepoints, one of which can't be reached without being able to climb/fly/jump into THE prime turret spot, the other is focused on by at least 4 people who can duck away for healing and take you out if you walk inside.
Winston's bubble is too fragile and Rhein's shield will leave one side wide open.
There's very little you can do past throwing yourself, as a team, repeatedly into the grinder in hopes that your enemy will drop their guard or choke long enough for you to get into the courtyard, and then you have to keep the point clear as they run in and hope to god they don't have Symmetra's teleporter up.
>>341383809
>>341383869
Really not a big deal. Both of them announce what they're doing, McCree can be shot during it, and Junkrat's RIP-Tire takes like a single hit to be destroyed.
Most annoying Ult is D.va, huge fucking blast radius, huge amounts of damage, most characters are so slow if you're not directly next to potential cover when the Ult begins, you're going to die, cannot be stopped in any way.

Or made her a caveman
>>341388718
Maybe unlocking skins? Perhaps when Blizz releases a new hero or map you might like?
Now the biggest fucking thing they need to fix is Mei and Rein ulti hitting you when you not on the fucking ground. They shouldn't hit you when your on another floor, pillar, or in the fucking air from something other than a jump. Jesus christ it's like they don't know how terrain works
>>341388164
Which is fucking retarded because both are still tier 1 picks. Mcree still kills everyone but roadhog and a good widow still drops people with heads hots

I guess at least I'll stop getting fucking bodyshot to death as Pharah the second I jump but McCree was really not that bad if you weren't terrible.
>>341363746
He still shreds any non tank, and just needs to roll between FTH to still shred every tank in the game.

I think reaper players that can actually aim will rise as the new close range tank shredders. I dismissed him as an edge lord bait but I gave him a spin today and put out 16k damage. Feel like an idiot for putting him off for so long.
Let's say you and a friend are queuing together, get a shitter pub, and want to have fun/carry the game; what's your go-to duo? What is the Medic and Heavy/pyro pocket of this game?

>>341384010
Damage for his fan is down to 45 per shot instead of 70 per shot, so it does 270 if all hit instead of 420. Stun grenade still does 25. So yeah, he can still take out 250 HP and below characters with ease, and his roll combo does 565.
Also, in exchange for nerfing the damage, they made fanning the hammer reload the gun in 0.3 seconds instead of 0.75 seconds.
>>341367990

>>341395336
I dont have a duo, but i find so many games are helped dramatically by Junkrat spamming an objective with grenades. I have carried teams with Junkrats. I mean you still have to know the maps, and be able to do things like detonate your mine in someone's face rather than trying to grenade them at close range. But eh.
Dropped down into the little side room on the objective in that temple in Nepal. Weirdly few people seem to know about it, entire enemy team was in their facing the objective, blew them all to shit
>>341373405
>So why is he picked literally zero times in tournaments
Because Overwatch is a game of counters you fucking retard, and Widowmaker and Mccree are both counters to top squish Zenyatta and are in every "competative" comp. That's not to say a Zen couldn't do well, but he's better off counter-counter picking.
If you don't understand this then you don't need to be spewing "muh tournaments" when talking about character viability

>>341380024
The counter to McCree was McCree.
>>341396820
Primary fire auto-snaps to the closest person in sight within 5 meters. Damage starts at 30 DPS but scales up every second to 60 and then 120 DPS with sustained fire. the buff is retained for 3 seconds of disuse. uses 7 ammo per second.
Alt fire pierces (enemies and shields) and does a maximum of 125 damage.
I don't think either can crit.
>>341380024
>>nerfs not even a year after release, make characters worthless
The only thing the nerfs did was make Widowmaker and McCree take actual effort to play and also made Zenyatta actually viable now.
So, you know, you're wrong.
>>341365641
>trusting blizzard after
>D3
>RoS
>LoV

>Nova nerf on HoTS
You brought it on yourself, I am just glad I haven't fallen for anything after D3.
I played 16 games today and didn't see a single McCree. They really did a number on him.
>>341397145
Never knew the thing about the increasing DPS. That's very cool, I'll have to try symmetra
>>341397896
You'll notice the beam gets wider as you sustain the fire.
Keep in mind it only gets stronger with sustained fire on an enemy so you can't hold the primary fire then sneak up on somebody and expect it to be 120 DPS
>>341396530
I really need to get more offensive with Symmetra. They're just melting even without sentries.
>>341397896
It works best when it's a mad rush and you're coming from a flank while your team is distracting them so it gives you time to build up.
>>341398363
Hana's probably not the best case to show it since you can just run around her and then quickly evaporate the little rabbit's health. Lucio's a pretty good example.
>>341398363
Symmetra is great as supplementary fire. On her own she's easier to take care of but if she gets the drop on people as they're distracted by others, by the time they finally get a bead on you, you should be able to kill them.
But as mentioned she's great for finishing off D.Va since her beam will snap from mech to pilot.
>>341398363
Don't forget to charge up your secondary fire when you're getting close to an enemy. Can be really good damage to hit them with it, then go into primary fire cause it wipes out a buttload of health at once.
>>341399371
I didn't even think of this. I just defaulted to the beam when I got in close. Im such a scrub. Thanks anons.
Do you know if sentries on the bridge at the beginning of Gibraltar is a good spot to put sentries?
All they had to do to balance McCree was remove the flashbang dealing damage and put Fan the Hammer on a cooldown like Lucio's push. That's it.
But I guess that's too complex and hard work for Blizzard so instead they went about the worst way to nerf him they could have because its as simple as changing a number value.
>>341399584
It does less damage but you can actually spam it even harder now and it still one-shots like half the roster instead of the 100% that it used to
>>341374669
Goddammit he told us he'd put a page out every day until the sex powder arc is over.,
>>341399584
It's mostly worse now.
It still 1-shots everything (except roadhog), and now he reloads faster.
>>341369460
Yes, it makes sense because he's a scientist monkey, so of course he'll have sciency weapons. Cowboys don't have flashbangs, so McCree having a flashbang doesn't make sense, he should have dynamite or something
>>341368396
>mfw I just did 4 plays of the game with Hanzo fully lagged
Feels good man
>>341400131
>>341400749
The problem is the spread. The spread on it exists so that McCree can't snipe with FtH, but the spread will make it so unless he's hugging the opponent's nuts he will miss a couple of shots, so to counter this FtH was given a high damage per bullet so that even with those misses he would still reliably kill.
Now of course then came the problem of tanks having a big hitbox by nature, so when close to McCree the spread didn't matter because tanks were so big every shot was hitting anyway, added in the roll reload and tanks would melt near McCrees.
The problem is while he can't instantly delete tanks, a fan roll fan still does 540 damage not counting the flashbang damage, yet now when going against targets with small frames like Tracer, Genji, and Reaper, FtH is going to miss a whole lot because of the spread, and guess what, you need all six shots to land to kill a Reaper, and unless McCree is sniffing his asshole he won't hit those shots. Now this wouldn't be a problem if, like tanks, these characters didn't have get out of jail free cards as skills, failing to kill a Genji, Tracer, Reaper, or Mei will simply have them use their escape/heal ability and get away scot free as McCree doesn't have the tools to follow.
A solution to this would be to tighten the spread, but then it'll defeat the purpose of the spread being there to begin with, which is to stop McCre from sniping or fighting mid range reliably with FtH.
This was the most lazy to give McCree a nerf, and now he's gimped both close, and long rage due to past revolver nerfs as well.
>>341369428
What? She unscopes after firing? Are you sure? I just thought they made it so you had to wait for the animation to finish after unscoping to eliminate that mobile quickscoping retarded shit

>>341363746

>>341402336
Thats right
>>341381513
You got Bastion and Reaper to do that.
Reaper can do well against tanks because for the most part all of his pellets are hitting tanks since their large body, and Bastion can melt tanks but needs to stand completely still to do so.
Tanks are not suppose to be melted unless you put yourself in an unfavorable position, which McCree wasn't.

>tfw deal more damage doing 2 left clicks instead of FTH
He's still OP, and will still be picked in tourneys, because his left click is fucking OP.
All blizzard did was a bandaid fix for the casual whiners.
FTH is basically useless now, I've noticed Mccree being picked less than Winston all day.
I think they should've made it capable of headshotting, if they reduce the dmg as a compensation. Killing someone by firing into their chest while stunned was stupid and easy, let us headshot (with the huge spray) so we can kill 250+ hp heroes again, if we have good aim/reaction speed and luck.
>>341406096
>FTH is basically useless now
"Kills every class except roadhog in max 2 seconds" isn't useless.
They cut the damage in half and it's still pretty busted because it was just so hilariously overpowered before.

He's the new Nova from HotS.
A good ganking hero that's good as what he does, but shitters whine even though he's useless after the combo. A little strong against tanks so he needed a little tweaking.
Then they basically get nerfed to oblivion and are never the same. Might as well go support Mccree now and stun for other heroes, use ult for high priority targets, FTH is a damage loss over left clicking now.
Stun + 2 Left click headshots = 280 damage and 2 rounds
Stun + FTH = 270 damage and 6 rounds
I'm going to unmap the fucking FTH hotkey specifically for him because it's garbage tier.

I don't see why it needs to stun like it does.
Just pulling them in close is enough. He still has the advantage with 600hp and a shotgun up close.
>>341407254
>She does no damage,
At a certain range the drop off from the cannons is hardly worth it, but Dva isn't a ranged character. Up close you make mincemeat of anything. Learn the combo of boosting into people, shooting once to break the boost animation, meleeing, and then opening fire. Doing it right unleashes a knockback and a huge chunk of immediate damage with Boost doing 35 and a melee doing 30, before any cannon fire. Take advantage of Defense boosting, to avoid incoming fire while you close in on opponents.
Also use boosts to quickly get away from a situation to heal up if need be. Dva's meka has no recharging health like shields, but 400 of it's 500 health is Armor meaning attacks do 50% damage to it, so it has quite a bit of survivability. Don't think she can solo groups however, as her meka will just melt.
Also don't discount her gun in her pilot form. It does 14 damage per hit and has no drop off at all.
>>341368568

>>341402015
this. the game is flawed fundamentally.
armor works against pellet or low damage shots that's why it takes a while for reaper and other spread shot damage dealers to eliminate tanks because they have to chew through armor.
Now people actually wise up when playing tanks against McCree even before nerfs
>Winton just dances in and out of the barrier to prevent getting damaged
>Reindhardt's are now more aware of McCree's and pull up their shields or jump and shield downwards
>Roadhogs hunt for McCree's southern ass harder
The basis for McCree being the Hero to handle squirmy enemies is pretty stupid right now because of the spread and the stun duration isn't enough to deal with squishies and prevent them from using their mobility or get-out-of-jail for free abilities.
>>341409410
dont even bother. He's clearly one of the "if you're talking about a popular game I don't like you're clearly shilling" poster.
>>341392723

Before the buff Mcree could drop any tank in half a second. He didn't even need a flash bang.
This wasn't even that close up either. He could do this at about 10 feet away.

Cr1tikal isn't funny, his monotone shit was funny at first but then all of his videos just became "shit nipple cheese titties"
>>341408837
>meaning attacks do 50% damage to it
That's not how armor works. It reduces damage of attacks by 5, but not exceeding 50% (in the cases where the attack does <10 damage). On the other hand, everyone will land crits on her with almost 100% accuracy.
>>341409652
We're all soldiers now brother.

The wiki disagrees
>>341376095
A few games ago I teamed up with a Tracer, we'd flank and fuck their backline raw while our team occupied them in the front, was pretty gud
This is how mcree should've been nerfed
>keep the damage as is, maybe reduce it a bit
>right click goes into fan stance with slightly reduced accuracy and walking speed
>you have to click every shot
Not only it would make the shooting way harder but also it would improve the gunplay because the player would get more feedback if he controlled every shot. Also, more mid range capabilities if shot slower.
Hire me blizzard
It will probably win multiple GOTY awards.
But it's still shit.
>never could play mccree or other hitscan heroes because shit internet
>now nobody gets toexcept people who deserve to and barely even used fan the hammer pre-nerf like my boy seagull
also dva should be able to fire while boosting and cancel with rclick, that should be the buff
>>341410284
Other way around. It reduces attacks by 50% but not by more than 5 damage per hit.
People land crits on her easier because she has the largest headbox in the game, being the entire front screen of the meka.
>>341392723
>>341394832

>>341410669

D.va is shit Winston and the only reason people actually play her is because she's their waifu.
>>341410927
>>341410669
Make fan shoot 4 bullets max, keep damage
Still 280 burst which is enough for about every non-tank, 2 bullets left for left-clicking so it requires at least some aim, no longer as much of an insta-tank buster because fan roll fan is 'only' 560 with every shot hit
>>341411168
I play her because of her versatility and mobility really. I wreck face with her on King of the Hill maps.

>>341411765
Her meka guns don't reload and melt things in close range, you don't know what you're talking about.
Have you been trying to use her meka guns at long range?
>>341411765
This has already been explained 10,000 times. Devs experimented with higher damage on her and it results in d.va throwing up the shield, charging right into the enemy, and mauling down a squishy like mercy instantly before backing the fuck out if possible. That's not a tank
>>341411983
That's how she's played right now anyways, until her headbox is made smaller she's hardly a tank.Armor doesn't mean shit if you're getting critted all the time.

Dva cannot solo a team. she handles fine with smaller groups. Works best like a predator-bot. Boost, melt, boost at a flank or a separated enemy.

Well first you've got to understand a Dva losing her meka isn't getting wrecked, it's unleashing a whole new monster on your ass.

Seriously, her out of mech blaster fires 20 shots in 3 seconds, and each shot does 20 damage a pop. If you can land even a quarter of them it should be enough combined damage from earlier to kill anyone with 200 health or less.
Then afterwords if you want your mech back

Fixed for you
>>341406916
Roadhog is not a Tank despite what Blizzard says. He's a McCree with 600 health and healing. No armor or even shields

Every Tracer i've come across has died that way. Hardly have ever died to a Tracer.
>>341413428

That's a tank senpai
>>341413139
She's not even better at dealing with small groups with anyone else
At least Winston can do serious, quick charges with a low cd to get into the backline, shield up, and rape or harrass some squishy. If DVA tries the same shit, she doesn't get anyting done because her damage is often even lower, she's a much more obvious target in-flight, and her shield aint worth shit since it's one-directional, she's just going to get raped from the side while Winston shield is at least aoe. She also gets melted on the spot by like half the cast because of her ginormous head hitbox and not particularly impressive health pool
She's really quite outclassed
>play tank because my team needs it
>notice enemies don't die
>switch to 76 after they've pushed two points
>immediately 3x gold in damage, elims, and obj elims
I'd honestly LOVE to play other classes, it's just that Blizzard matches me with such shitters that it's fucking impossible to get anything done. Playing support or tank just means I have to watch my team get outplayed while they fail to significantly damage anyone.
I once had a game where I was playing Zen with a good Reinhardt and had gold elims with ONE elimination - FOR THE ENTIRE GAME. People literally refused to get behind Reinhardt's shield and instead felt like flanking and immediately dying to the enemy Widow. Do people not realize Reinhardt is effectively just a walking Zenyatta ult? You're fucking invincible, do something!
>>341413520
The only point i'll agree with is her headbox is way too big.
Otherwise, that's just a shit Dva. I don't know what to tell you anon. My Dva wrecks King of the Hill.
>>341369614
>He plays exactly the same after the change other than he can't cheese tanks like roadhog anymore
Basically, if he comes across a tank in a hallway, he's fucked even if he shoots first.
>>341413501
>>Soaks up damage
Barely unless he has a 24/7 pocketslut, 600hp isn't actually a lot if you're under focus fire which kinda always happens if you try to play him like a tank
>disrupts enemy team
That's a flanker
>>341413428
Roadhog is a deterrent tank. The enemy team doesn't want to get anywhere near you since your hook is incredibly deadly.
>>341368835
>>341413237
Fucking this.
Picking on widowmakers is so satisfying.
>>341413237
Actually her blaster does 14 damage a shot but still, it's 20 shots in 3 seconds. If you have good aim while hopping around that's a lot of damage before having to reload.
>>341413681
Yeah it's a 50m long flashbang. I dont understand why the hook would deter but the flashbang wouldnt. People still went up against Mcdonalds and complained.
>>341413669
Tracer and Genji are flankers. I'd say mobility is a thing for flankers
The only character who needs a class change is Symmetra. Put her with the rest of the defense heroes and put snipers somewhere else.
Anyone else only play Reaper because of how frikkin badass he is?
I mean seriously, I feel so cool when I manage to stealthly teleport behind someone and blow their frikkin brains out without them even knowing what happened.
>>341413662
>I don't know what to tell you anon.
I haven't seen a single Dva where I though that it wasn't just a waste of a teamslot compared to having a winston or reaper or anything really, it's always just free ult charges on the mech and a little annoying girl with 150 life jumping around afterwards, and I'm not exactly playing in the complete shitter ranks.
It appears that she has no real damage, no useful tanking abilities or way to draw attention, no real flanking potential compared to actual flankers, no exceeding quality whatsoever, the best she can hope for is some area denial with her ult but eh
Maybe there's still a pro dva waiting outside to show me the light but I kinda doubt it
>>341413964
Her teleporter is essentially res-lite
>>341413931
Nobody complains about the flashbang - it's a utility that can atually stop channeled ults. It's what comes after.
>>341369614
>wasn't supposed to be
When will this meme end?
Didn't realize you were the programmer who put fth in the game and ensured it does a ton of damage up close with no spread, thus viably removing tanks when they, for whatever reason, decide to stroll solo through a flank point.

I do complain about that fucking aoe
I get that it's there because he's supposed to counter mobile characters like tracer, but I'd rather see him as a tank-buster really. Kerep fan damage, but make flashbang hitbox-only. If you're skilled you can still flashbang more mobile and smaller chars for ez kills, but it's mostly going to be used on huge fatties
>>341414062
The right click, or in Roadhog's case: the left click?
>>341364692
>only viable in 1vs1
You are fucking retarded, learn to play McCree and stop thinking only RMB is his useful skill.
McCree's retarded hitscan revolver gets used like a fucking sniper rifle in mid-high MMR. The only people that actually think McCree is balanced are RMB and Stun shitters.
Making my mission to wreck enemy Widowmakers as Pharah is the best because of how salty they get and try to only target me and fail hard.

>>341414517
Yeah when going against widowmakers you have to make sure not to fly as much. If you stay grounded and try to flank instead, dealing with widowmakers is laughably easy because of the range your rockets have.

>Developer Comments: In the right hands, Widowmaker can often feel unstoppable—even when just landing body shots instead of critical heads shots. The changes to her alternate fire weaken body shot damage while leaving her headshot damage unchanged. Additionally, we felt her Ultimate ability, Infra-Sight, was coming up a little too frequently, especially considering its impact on the game.
>in the right hands unstoppable
>in the wrong hands not unstoppable

Don't get me wrong, I agree with the change, but that's pretty poorly worded. You basically made things worse if that's your analysis.

I love when a reaper uses his ult right next to me and dies to the grenades

>nerf his right click

hes still fucking good at everything except killing tanks (reliably) he still does like 700 some damage if he gets his full combo.
It worked I suppose, but it feels like just a lazy number tweak.
>use a weekly brawl system to freshen things up
>half the options are complete garbage nobody wants to play like this weeks Army of One
Blizzard is so fucking shit.
>play tf2 for years
>used to snipers
>niggers calling widow maker op
Honestly I thought she was a lot easier to deal with than the TF2 sniper. Her ult is really useful but not as rage inducing as Hanzos can be. Don't get all the mad.
Kind of like Bastion compared to the engies sentry.
Realistically I don't feel anyone is massively OP, more that a lot of characters feel under powered.
>symettra
Sentries can be great, but without a low level heal she feels like a wasted slot
>genji
Make him third person view during his ult for fuck sake
>reindhart
Give him third person view period if he is going to be a fucking melee
Otherwise all I have to add isnerf mei for fuck sake
>>341396776
I always do this shit as Reaper, just out of habit to heal myself. I also hate when I use my ult and the Junkrat runs at me, too.

Shit anon you wot
Hanzos is just area denial, nobody really gets killed by it outside of the beginner queue because it's telegraphed spo heavily
Widow is striaght up wallhack for 15 seconds with really quick charge time that isn't even telegraphed over the map
It's about the best ult in the game next to the support ones
>>341416509
widow feels like bullshit because her charge is 1 second for a bodyshot into second bodyshot.
Like you can't even react to that, and they hardly even earn it. Especially when they're aiming at a choke point.
>>341415957
>walking on red glowing grenades

You'd think I'd learn but nope

her head shot damage was not changed so it was in fact a buff.
I'm afraid you miss read the change log desu.
>>341416709
lol. Just yesterday I was standing next to a wall at choke as mccree waiting to ambush their roadhog with a flash bang with someone as 76.
Nigga hanzo uses his ult against the wall and insta kills us both, literally instantly. Well played on his part really.
>>341368115
>Especially when you have characters like roadhod, who straight up rely on close range combat and indoor fights to function.
And he'd still lose that fight. McCree could wipe other tanks, but Roadhog can wreck him at his own game.

>>341407001
-Fucking get above them and use the high ground
-wait for your amazing boost to recharge within a few seconds
-Fall down on people and shoot at them so you get guaranteed headshots
-when they run away boost after them then melee them into a wall *this is your only way to guarantee a kill on anyone*
-seriously boost people into walls and corners and body block them
-if they try shooting at you, activate your E and wait for them to reload *they will always reload because they think it's the best time to reload*
-deactivate your shield and then kill them while they are stuck reloading
thas it, also do not be afraid of anytanks besides roadhog. You can still fuck him up though. and make sure to turn around when you don't want them to shoot your crit box. You'll have to get used to running away and not shooting back, infact you have to get used to running away in general.
>>341416909
Yeah it's decent for clearing out chokepoints and corridors that way
