It's just meeeeeeeeeeee in here

BUT
12th big announcement coming.
I expect skins and maybe a game mode. The recent comic seems to hint at some sort of rescue mode maybe? Hostages? I dunno

Hostage in OW? How would that work without just being one flag CTF? They keep making this game bigger and more feature rich. Whatever they do I'm fairly pleased with how things are going.

Not that I've been playing much. I sat out most of Season 3 and now 4. I'll probably get back to it a bit more but I don't know if it will regain it's status as my go-to shooter. That's been Rainbow Six lately.

I played for the first time in a while last night. Is it just me, or is Orisa like, really derivative? Every piece of her kit feels like a modified version of something else that's already in the game. She seems like a nice character, but I'm not sure she brought anything new to the game. Just a varied kit.

That Widowmaker skin is nice.

I'm confused. When does this event start?

Still today? And they haven't released an English trailer?

It's supposed to start tomorrow. I think the recent comic hints at skins and the story for the event.

But yeah I don't really care for her either. Derivative yeah.
She was talked about as an anchor tank alternative by Jeff, but she doesn't feel that way. I've seen players mention her as a DPS tank which I sort of agree with
I don't like her physical design either though. Some legendary skins are kinda cool I suppose.

I'd also say Blizzard were probably overly cautious in reaction to Ana's reception. She was really OP for a while after release so they're going the other way.
So instead we just get this character with a smattering of abilities but doesn't exceed in any sort of direction.

Going between OW and Siege, which are both incredibly smooth, and PUBG is totally jarring. They're all great games and the latter is totally worth playing, but goddamn there are still a lot of rough edges. The roughest. Doomfist is sliding into the dive meta but it will still be interesting to see meta analysis at the end of the season. The dive meta was already strong so I'm not sure if he'll squeeze Tracer or Genji out but who knows.

And yea 144hz+gsync is the way to play.

Pretty major changes coming for Mercy and eventually Dva it sounds like

'Valkyrie' is taking the place of her team rez ult. So she'll fly freely and deal more damage/heal. Plus her alt ability now is single rez's. Hopefully they get the cool down right
Dva is getting an offensive change too. New mini missles and less defense matrix

Yea.. RIP current meta.

I don't really want them to change D.Va again, but Lucio is more fun to play than he's ever been after his previous "nerf" (which wasn't really a nerf). This is the same kind of scenario. I just hope she can still eat a death blossom.

that looks so rough.

It makes you wonder what the hell they possibly took from that MMO which came before OW they say


What's everyone think of Moira??
I'm not as crazy about these characters when they're mashing already existing abilities together
Like I still don't really care for Orisa still, even though she's certainly a GOOD character in-game

It looks like game development. I love playing gray-box shit.

I don't think Moira is really much of a mash-up at all. Her primary attack is Symmetra-like (which I hate, btw), but that's a weapon attribute and I think there's plenty of room for those to overlap. How many hitscan and projectile characters are there? I hate the lock-on weapons, but it's just a tiny aspect of her kit. What else about Moira is like any other character?

FWIW.. I flat out don't like playing her, but I think she's an interesting character. But I play a lot of support, and she's not going to replace my Lucio or Zen (or Ana) play, and until Mercy is nerfed I don't think anyone is replacing her. She's probably my least favorite support character but things could change. I love most of the healers already, but tbh I'm a little disappointed simply because I really want more of a combat medic. I want a medic with hitscan and defibrillators or something. I think there should be a second revive option.

And we won't see another support hero for a long time now. But oh well. Nerf Mercy.

Her orb is a variation on Zens abilities. And her tele is reminiscent of a mash of Tracer and Reaper too. Then the lock on gun like you were mentioning. All of it just feels like another Orisa situation.
I also wish they had done something more creative than an Iron Man beam for her ult too.
Like make it a gas or something so she's toxic/poison. The beam is confusing.

I like the "nerf" to Mercy. She's more of a pest now

Her orb is not a variation on Zen's abilities at all. The comparison people are making to Zen is a loose comparison because their roles overlap, not their mechanics. Her orb attacks are seriously nothing like Zen's discord or healing orbs. They're slow moving projectiles that either deal damage or heal. It's not a sticky debuff or single target healing ability. I'm not seeing her as a mash-up. If you don't want roles to overlap that's just a little demanding.

I think it's a unique support kit. I just like other support heroes more.

What? The nerf aims to make her less of a pest. I'm confused.

Mercy 2.0 wasn't a nerf at all.

It looks derivative is all I'm saying

Also I didn't know there was another one in the PTR?
The full team revives was a nerf to me. She's more involved and around combat in general now which is nice

They're not though. There's nothing about her mechanics that are derivative of Zenyatta's. Symmetra's gun, sure. But I think that's nitpicking, personally. There are several hitscan guns in the game. Several projectiles. I think basic mechanics like that can overlap.

And I'm saying that while not being a big fan of that style of weapon in the first place. I would be happy to limit the lock-on stuff to Symmetra and Winston. I just think.. FPS games should require you to aim.

Mercy 2.0 was definitely not a nerf. Her new revive mechanic is much better than the team revive and she's a more crucial pick now than she's ever been. She was basically a benchwarmer last season, and you basically can't win without her now. A good Mercy can get dozens of revives off in a round right now. And her ultimate allows her to get off multiple revives and heal the whole team.

Mercy in PTR is getting a revive nerf. She no longer instantly revives (takes 1.75 seconds now) her move speed is drastically lower while reviving, and she can be stunned out of it. Thank goodness.
