[url=https://www.reddit.com/r/Overwatch/comments/4w4t8i/official_blizzard_statement_on_defense_heroes/]As they've stated[/url], they're unlikely to see huge buffs because defense heroes already see a lot of play on average. It's only in the comp scene and top skill brackets that they start to dwindle, and blizz tries to balance for both comp and the casual player.
[QUOTE=Hammer7;50939254]Yep, defense heroes buff when.[/QUOTE]
They already did.
Mei and Hanzo just got some pretty significant buffs, so it's not like Defense heroes don't get any love. Junkrat's trap also works on dashing Genjis now.
And to be completely honest I'm glad I don't see Widowmakers and Symmetras in every single game. They can be completely hideous in the right hands.
After playing TF2 for so long I'm still so impressed by the sprays in this game
You can put them on a moving door and they split in half its amazing
[QUOTE=Cloak Raider;50939246]it may well be the case that they nerf mccree, but the nerf should be after a period of seeing the results of the PTR buffs and nerfs
the problem with the fairly quick balancing that blizzard has been doing is that everyone is now out for blood for every other character, fucking nerf zarya she's OP, fucking nerf Mccree he's crazy, man when are they going to change Tracer she's ridiculous
it's insane
meanwhile an entire section of heroes in the game goes nearly untouched because they're significantly worse
like, be reasonable, wait and see what changes rather than tearing up the floorboards every few weeks, because every time there's a change, more people will complain about the wacko-balance, more people will become unfamiliar with things that have changed, more people will be upset that their character got nerfed[/QUOTE]
I know it seems like I'm just dick ridin' here but honestly I've gotta really stress how much I agree with your thoughts about balance. I don't mind frequent changes but I hope OW doesn't become a game that changes week-to-week like such
And I still insist that high level comp players are huge babies that can't handle implementing defense heroes B)
[QUOTE=Sift;50939180]Unrelated to anything but what's with the Olympic voice lines? Just now sitting down and listening to them and half of them sound like completely different people.
I'm pretty sure Mercy's "Piece of Cake!" line has a guy trying to sound feminine for the work "Cake"[/QUOTE]
Mercy's is definitely the worst.

New brawl is fun though.

If you spray something while looking at it from the side, your spray will also be turned 90* in either way.
The system is pretty cool.

Sounds more like Hanzo than Genji.

That's not his VA.
If you look at the guys original blog he mentions the official VA has seen/acknowledged the voice work.
I don't understand people who say Reinhardt is overpowered. He's arguably one of the most balanced heroes.
- He deals damage but mostly close range.
- He doesn't have [I]that[/I] much health, and cannot heal himself.
- His right click is best used for his teammates, because if he tries to use it for himself he risks his friends getting wiped
- He lacks speed
- His ult is easily avoidable by any character that uses a ranged weapon (and he can usually only get one person at a time)
- His charge is fairly inaccurate unless you're just dead-on target, and doesn't do as much splash damage
Reinhardt's fine

Do his charge do a set damage or do it one shot every attack/defense heroes/support automatically when they get pinned?
I don't play reinhardt at all.
Also, what was the countdown about?

Set amount of damage. The damage is affected by Nanoboost. First it does 50, then it does additional 300 once/if you hit a wall.
People speculate the countdown along with the new Sombra stuff means we'll get a character reveal today, but I don't believe we've had anything yet.

charge does 50 damage to anyone it touches, and 300 more damage on the pinned person.
It kills anything that isnt a tank.

Not here but just general bitching I've seen in-game
[QUOTE=Grandzeit;50939123]As for why it heals her, probably nanomachines.[/QUOTE]
Maybe she's huffing the same paint that Roadhog is except within the comfort of her private ice crystal hotbox.
People bitch at literally every character
even Bastion

Reaaaalllly doubt it, or at the very least they'd put out Sombra the day of S2
[QUOTE=DeEz;50939698]People bitch at literally every character

But bastion is legitimately overpowered when used with good hands.
[editline]24th August 2016[/editline]
Why is there a focus on junkrat and roadhog in the speculations? does it means they will have more new item than the other?
[QUOTE=Zillamaster55;50939700]Reaaaalllly doubt it, or at the very least they'd put out Sombra the day of S2[/QUOTE]
You gotta keep in mind they typically run the character through two or so weeks of PTR before patching them in too.
At the very least I'm expecting a teaser. or even just a solid image of the hero.
Reinhardt's ult is so damn forgiving.
-Can hit you ontop payload or ontop ledges
-Can knock you down if you walk onto it after it was used
Overall it makes no sense where you'll be knocked down and where you won't be knocked down

its so forgiving that you can hit pharah if shes in the air with it (mind you she still has to be somewhat close to the ground, but still)
It's so forgiving that despite the cracks pass through the corners, it won't register the hit or when there's a slight elevation, it won't register any hit
Or everything, Reinhardt's Ult is so inconsistent.
