[QUOTE=Altimor;50905468]The only nerf Genji's ult needed was getting rid of the vision obstructing particle effects[/QUOTE]
I don't think Genji needed to have time to spare on his ult after many defensive ults are used up, nor did he need the time to pull his usual delaying tactics without it significantly costing him.
Six seconds is perfect imo.
So can we talk about the rank difference lockout?
I have some high rank friends who I played with on a very regular basis in the low 70's. I tended to be at around high 60's so I didn't have an issue always playing with them but some friends were in the low 60's and even lower than that (because they made horrible decisions and solo queued sometimes). This new rank lockout stuff is causing us some issues and legit fragmenting who can play with who and no one wants to be an asshole and say "I don't want to play with you because I drop rank I can't play with X anymore." I know why they did it, because people are fucking stupid and bringing their 30-40 fake retard friend into a game while they're [del]high 60-low 70[/del] 80something so they get easy wins, but that isn't what my group of friends are doing and it's fucking punishing us in the game we like to play as a group. The only way we see a way out of this is riding our really good DPS players during placements and then literally never playing alone. If we don't, then we are going to end up scattered in the ranks and not able to play with one another.
To balance out the mobility nerf, and we have make it so walls stop occasionally refusing you let you climb them because you pressed space bar at just the wrong time or the time is currently a number divisible by 3?
Now that competitive is over all the amazing players are now in quick play. Can competitive come back now so I can actually win a game?
[QUOTE=Zanarias;50905383]Zarya has the potential to have way more than 600 effective health during combat. 400 from her initial health and shields, 200+ from the barrier (barrier ignores overkill damage), and then any additional shield that she gets to recharge while using barrier. She might have the lowest base health but ends up having the combat potential of someone with quite a lot of health. Trying to rule out the barrier as part of her health pool is unfair, since a good Zarya will always use it during an engagement.
For the record, I don't think Zarya is OP, but she is very hard to deal with.[/QUOTE]
Well plus she can pop her [I]other[/I] shield on a dva or something and hide behind her to block all damage while she runs for cover or regens her own bubble shield and her shield self-heal.
So wait can you even see/check what rank did a player end in in season 1? I cannot seem to locate any score.
I find it strange that exclusively Genji cannot cancel his melee animation with another move. Like, I hate the guy [I]a lot[/I], but that's a strange choice I feel. Ana can cancel her melee with the grenade, Roadhog has the hook, Reinhardt can flame after a smack, and these are all okay? It seems so hackey.
There should be like...A season warm up mode, where you can continue playing players at your previous season rank, without actually affecting anything. It would prevent quickplay becoming a mess between seasons.
I feel like it should take previous season MMR into account so placement matches at least have a semblance of balance
I didn't expect them to nerf Genji this hard.

How is he suppose to kill anything with a rubber sword :(
I think the D.Va nerf was justified, and I think Zarya needs to have some sort of counter.
D.Va's Defense Matrix could be toggled at will quickly, meaning she could hold it for a fraction of a second when about to be hit and keep the shield up for a longer overall time by putting it up and down, plus she could quickly attack out of it too. Rein has a slight delay putting the shield up and taking it down where he cannot attack, as well as a delay to regenerating his shield's health when it is put away. This minor nerf puts her shield in line with that, while keeping her mobility and unpredictability advantages she has over Reinhardt.
Zarya has no counter, which is concerning. Her kit is perfectly balanced otherwise, and I think giving her a counter is the best way to balance her as well as bring other heroes usage rates up. Unlike Rein and Zarya, D.Va's shield could be pierced with Winston, Mei, Symmetra and Zarya's beams, which right now makes Zarya a huge counter to D.Va. I think allowing those same weapons to pierce Zarya's shield would be a good change, because it would make Winston, Mei, and Symmetra have more use, especially Winston.
I also think the projectile size revert needs to be addressed, not as drastic as 30% but maybe have each projectile individually addressed, because some characters are now much more usable while others seem a bit too easy to use now.
The Genji nerfs are worth it purely for the amount of salt flowing from Genji mains claiming they'll make him literally unplayable.

I killed Roadhog to complete the ace afterwards
Is it just me or are there 2 Genji's in each team lately?

Looks killer on the Mariachi skins.
I really don't look forward to what else they are going to release for competitive rewards. I would hate for skins and animations to be locked behind the competitive playwall.

Don't see why they would, there's already loads of gold skins that will take literally years to unlock all of them and cosmetics locked behind anything other than a paywall won't actually net them any extra cash.

if they have to add anything i hope they just add gaudy gold player skins and nothing more

Comp items might not make money, but having a grind in place with desirable items (some might not want golden weapons, but might want whatever else they add) makes some of the playerbase stay, and thus make revenue in other ways.
Can't wait for the Toby potg's where he's just sitting there and the turret is killing people.
So I hopped into quick play to test the new buffs, and I came across a really cool group of people.

I'm not sure if all these people picking Mei realize it was only an ult buff

Congrats to Zarya for transcending into A tier. (I wanted you all of our Russian overlords)
Your favorite hero is still probably in F tier.
KOTH confirmed to have stale as fuck meta

Fuck me I'm torn. I'd wish you could have more than one emote at a time.
I want to be able to sit in a chair as people enter my Symmetra microwave, and then clap after they die.
