[QUOTE=_Maverick_;50915355]What about Rienhardt?[/QUOTE]
Reinhardt can't shield and attack at the same time, he can switch between the two modes relatively quickly but he still must sacrifice one of them.
So why do skins and emotes have to be added to PTR before going live? It just seems like something they could release now because its nothing major like buffs and nerfs.
I can understand them wanting to make the update bigger. But still it just seems like stuff they can release now. Especially since everyone has coin buildup from farming loot boxes from the summer games.

He could firestrike and put his shield up before it hits but that's a silly technicality
I got this from the Overwatch booth at Gamescom for free.

Isn't that the preorder bonus for american gamestop costumers?
[QUOTE=Altimor;50915373]She also benefits from her shield being shot and can apply it to teammates, so if Zarya herself isn't making you charge her so she doesn't kill your healers, it's Genji/Tracer.[/QUOTE]
It really bothers me that theres no flat answer for dealing with Zarya's shield, especially when there are for both Defense Matrix and Reinhardt's Shield.
Very odd design choice.
Fucking Quick Match sucks, it's never a solo game experience, trying to do something, always ganged upon by 3 buddies who are on enemy team in pre-made, every single time. Every time I land one of my hooks, I get swarmed upon by everybody.
15 Summoner Boxes, 0 legendaries and only 1 rare
I am not even suprised at this point.
How the hell did the S2 MMR system think it was a good idea to match me with Bronze and Silver levels? I played Mercy because no one would go healer, and I literally watched a Roadhog miss his hook on a Zarya standing RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM 4 times while I healed him, then the Zarya just slapped me.
Directly after that, a Junkrat ran behind my team and I called it out on mic, our Soldier turned around while I was healing him and his biotic field was enabled, missed every single shot, and then died.
...The fuck?
I feel bad because I haven't really gotten many dupes in all the summer boxes I've popped, and I'm kinda tired of them and wanting them to go away already :v:;;

Like I said, Mei's cryospray should be able to go through her shield.

I spent today relearning the ropes and seeing my formerly nooby friends get their first lil star.
And here I am at level 27 awkwardly bastioning
what do you get the star on your name for anyway? and what are the wee ribbons on either side of your name some people have

Isn't it when you surpass 100 and your level resets?
[QUOTE=usaokay;50915663]People keep saying that Bastion being triggered by the woodpecker is reminiscent of PTSD. While I understand how they came to that conclusion, it sounds like a desperate grasp since Bastion is merely adhering to its combat programming.
Unless the military actually trains their soldiers to be like robots, which in this case, it's probably true.[/QUOTE]
So how is it not like PTSD? Bastion goes into his combat programming because he thinks the Woodpecker is gunshots. Soldiers with PTSD go into their combat instincts because they feel like they're in war again. What exactly is the difference here?

It's both honestly. It heard the sound of the woodpecker which triggered its combat programming, which at the time it didnt really remember, similar to how someone with PTSD can have something something trigger a response in them
like actual PTSD, not Tumblr PTSD

Bastion is an Omnic, they have thoughts, feelings, emotions and memories
If it was just a dumb robot it would have analysed the sound, compared it to gunfire and made the conclusion that it's not gunfire
Instead it [I]panics[/I] gets tunnel vision, fires randomly in all directions
That is without a doubt a sign of PTSD

I'm extremely scared of low ranks.

Yes, there is. You just don't fucking shoot her for the 2.5 seconds it takes for her shield to drop... lol.
I love when someone on the enemy team is trying to piss my team off by saying shit like "ez pz, ez game easy life" whenever that happens I just say "same" and they say it again almost hoping to get a reaction. The best way to handle toxicity is to just not feed it.

I was actually just in a game where my entire team was shit-talking ourselves.
Then when it somehow moved into game-chat, the other team got involved and it was probably one of the most retarded, clusterfucks of a flamewar I've ever seen.
And it all started because some guy chose Soldier 76 two rounds in a row.

I saw someone in the 70s switch to Pharah when most of the kills on the other team were coming from a 76 with a Mercy surgically attached to him on the most open KoTH map in the game, no rank seems to guarantee people will have their brains turned on

I explained why you can't do that in the post he's replying to
[QUOTE=Oliolio;50915733]Yes, there is. You just don't fucking shoot her for the 2.5 seconds it takes for her shield to drop... lol.[/QUOTE]
That's the problem. Every other shield or invulnerable skills have downsides or counterplay to them. Reinhardt's shield is only one direction, there are certain things that it can't block, and he can't attack with it up, same for D.va. Reaper's Wraith Form makes him invincible, but he can't attack during it and Mei's has to completely stun herself.
Zarya's shield has 100% immunity to all damage and CC (Might be wrong on the CC part), is still able to attack during it, and is rewarded for being shot. She can also put it on any character, so flanking characters like Reaper and Tracer can become near unstoppable with it on. If the only answer to it is, "don't shoot lol" then that's what makes it too strong.
I'm not asking for Zarya herself to be nerfed. I think, numbers and mechanics wise, she's fine. It's just that there's no way around her shields like everybody else's. I would just like some kind of character (Winston, Symettera, or Mei) to damage through her shield, that way there [i]is[/i] actual counterplay to it besides, "don't shoot".

quickplay is fine, what we do need is competitive without the ranks, casual mode.
