Lost 4, tied 1, won 5, got placed in Diamond.
For the 1st time in Overwatch, i have reached more than 11 eliminations, got 29 kills as Soldier 76 in Hanamura while Defending and only like 4-5 deaths. Even saved the last control point by sprinting around like a maniac and die, just to get ressurected by Mercy. Me n my gang wasted them and after that, there was another this kind of situation, pulled off an ultimate from the 1st floor and killed Zenyatta before he even tried to use the Transcendence and concentrated my rockets on Reinhardt.
Expected to get a POTG for this but instead, Symmetra got one where she scored like 1 kill an some assists with the sentry.
I still feel good about that elimination number.
That's because her shield is her gimmick. She doesn't have the life total of the other tanks, can't actually protect other without her projected shield, and can't deal any damage unless people are stupid enough to charge her up.
D'Va can toggle her shield, and it completely eats everything it touches.
Reinhardt can protect and entire 90+ degree zone with a 2000 hp barrier.
Zarya can give herself 200 extra hitpoints that only lasts a few seconds. She lacks the mobility options of any other tank; D'Va can use her jet boost, Rein can Charge in, Winston can leap around, and well, roadhog kind of does the opposite with his hook.
Yes, the answer is 'dont shoot the shield'. Again, the duration is miniscule- Though it seems like a lot longer when you're in a fire fight. Nothing stops you from shifting your fire to another target (like, the healer maybe) for the three seconds it takes to drop.
[QUOTE=Altimor;50915303]I'd say the ult is a lot more useful in comparison with the spread nerf.
There is one thing people forget that Deadeye is actually good for: It bypasses transcendence or any other form of healing entirely.[/QUOTE]
I didn't consider the spread nerf, bleh that sucks.

You don't seem to understand that the duration of the shield is long enough to get a critical kill and it's not limited to Zarya herself.

I'm going to keep saying this until this argument dies.
If Zarya is shielding a flank, and that flank is fucking up your support, what do you do?
Good Zarya will never give you a choice.
[QUOTE=Captain;50915817]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.[/QUOTE]
To play devil's advocate, the downside is it lasts only 2 seconds (at most) and has a 10 second cooldown.
I mean I don't want to say it's fine or too strong or whatever, but it does have a downside in the sense that it has more downtime than the rest of the tank's defensive abilities.

Well... Burst through the shield and kill the flanker, or let your support die.
If it's critical enough to keep that support alive, then you need to weigh losing the engagement with giving Zarya 50 energy. In [I]some [/I]situations I'd say powering her up would be the lesser of two bad options. It'll make the fight harder and you'll need to focus on her to keep her from making things worse, but a Zarya with 50 more energy isn't an unstoppable threat.
Can someone tell me why the fuck's Mei in every game on both attack and defence?
[QUOTE=Grindigo;50915944]Can someone tell me why the fuck's Mei in every game on both attack and defence?[/QUOTE]
I rarely see Mei's anymore, tbh.
[QUOTE=Grindigo;50915944]Can someone tell me why the fuck's Mei in every game on both attack and defence?[/QUOTE]
Because every game needs a D.va and Genji for some reason. Her ice beam keeps the Genji away because being frozen means dead. While D.va will just keep getting frozen so teammates can shoot at her in the time she doesn't have her defensive matrix up. If all else she will run away after she is frozen enough. Mei can also use a wall to block the blast from D.va's self destructs.

The whole "do not shoot the shield" usually applies when Zarya herself makes mistakes, otherwise the good ones will bait you into shooting and force you to defend yourself, this is also why a hero like Roadhog can't do much against her because she will predict and react the hooks and free energy.
I still stand with Zarya being technically fine, you can't give her longer cooldowns, having her shields lower hp is a no go.
Plus i really feel Winston penetrating Zarya's shield will make him way more prominent than he already is.

I hope one day you realize the error in this
[QUOTE=Grindigo;50915944]Can someone tell me why the fuck's Mei in every game on both attack and defence?[/QUOTE]
Because she can do both.
Like junkrat
[QUOTE=Cushie;50914517]She's similar to characters like Torbjorn where they can be very effective if your team is already doing well, but if your team is doing badly they become dead weight and would be better taken by more damage.
[/QUOTE]
That sounds like a good description of Torb to me. If you're winning, he's a slight speed bump, and if you're losing, he creates a hellish overlap of defense where you can't touch this team until the turret is down, and if you can't take his turret down without getting turbofucked by the rest of his team, much less take down his first turret, his second turret, and then him.
[QUOTE=_Maverick_;50916022]Because she can do both.

More like she can do neither :^)
The thing is, I hate Mei, doesn't matter which team she's on, last two days I had her in every game, when she's on my team, half of my abilities are always blocked by her stupid ice wall because she decides to erect it in front of me when I'm the fucking tank who can take some abuse.
I wasn't able to queue with my friend anymore because I got ranked, so he decided to play some games by himself and got the same trolling Torbjorn 2 games in a row. :v:
EDIT: He got put in Gold. :v:

You really have to watch out for Mei's erections.
EDIT: She can be a real dick.
EDIT 2: She can easily fuck you if you aren't careful.

It just looks like the overwatch logo but spread out, kinda like a glitched screen
But can we make a song out of it?
[QUOTE=MissingGlitch;50915465]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.[/QUOTE]
if they added them now they would be in the drop system, therefore lowering your chances at getting what you want from summer lootboxes. Nobody wants that.
Although you have at least one guaranteed summer item I'm not sure that would solve the issue.
[QUOTE=Shotz;50916374]I think this one was an actual issue with the displays[/QUOTE]
Alright then, was just wondering if it was intentional or an actual issue
Played a game, was with a 3 man squad.
In their squad, their mercy was crouched the entire game doing nothing. Other two were playing terrible hanzos.
How do they have gold weapons?
