there really should be some system for preserving ult charge when you switch characters. obviously it couldn't be 1:1 because a character's ult is balanced by how long it takes to charge, but just throwing away the charge makes it harder to counterpick and do the team friendly thing.

I think I'd rather see ultimates reduced to a point of non-relevance.
I mean, they'll never do this but I think they're easily the most boring part of this game.
I still feel like scattershot should be like roadhogs altfire, rather than splitting on the first thing it hits.
how blizzard has yet to add a "help" voice for healers yet is seriously beyond fucking me

If you lower the entire rest of the game's volume and listen very carefully you may be able to hear Mercy go "ᶦ'ᵐ ᵇᵉᶦᶰᵍ ᵃᵗᵗᵃᶜᵏᵉᵈ" just before her death sound
We've reached a point where people are used to not protecting their healers.
Ana is so godly at 1v1 fights, Zen is no pushover either, and Lucio can ususaly get out of situations on his own.
Only Mercy is trash.
if heal blocking didn't already exist on Ana it would have been a really neat tool to give to Sombra
Mercy is only trash at hadling enemy encounters because she rellies heavily on teammates even to make a escape. She's the basic TF2 medic that needs constant protection except she has more mobility and utility tools.
She has a pistol sure but it's not really gonna do much against a person like Mei,Rein or Symmetra that don't even need to aim to completely melt you.
Found this cool picture of a Link/Mercy mashup and thought it was cool enough for an avatar

[QUOTE=Vodkavia;51769855]Symm and winstons weapons were a mistake TBH.[/QUOTE]
Winston's tickle gun hardly makes a difference most of the time. Specially if your team is well positioned and being healed by a Lucio/Ana. I'm starting to think Blizzard thought of Winston to be more of a high mobility/High HP harasser instead of a actual tank like Rein.
He's good for taking out stuff like snipers and sometimes healers but as a team protector he leaves much to be desired. Even he's ult is more for disrupting rather than tanking or dealing damage.
Winston was made to be a high mobility/HP harasser.
His shield, while offering decent cover, has so much down time he can't reliably protect allies often.
Winston's already a high skill ceiling character in terms of positioning and team communication, I don't want him to also be McCree ontop of that.
Besides what's wrong with some variety?

In my experience, he does amazing against the game's squishies. The best way to play him is to jump upwards, attack the squishies as much as you can, pull attention away from the chokes, then jump back out before you die. He can actually melt the squishies pretty fucking great, especially given that he can attack 3 of them at once. His lack of usage means most people don't know how to deal with or counter him and as long as you prioritize the right targets (don't go for tanks, target those with no armor) he can just melt a choke.
Also, the only character that can [I]maybe[/I] out-run him is Tracer. Even Pharah is not safe. So there's no getting away from a Winston that wants you dead.
Also his barrier makes a pretty good alternative to a rein shield in a pinch since you can smack it down on a payload and protect a larger area that actually moves.
I opened a hard-earned lootbox tonight, only to see some pink and gold fly into the air!
[sp]Credits and ANOTHER D.va Palanquin skin.[/sp]
:suicide:
I just want my Rein and Zen skins. They're literally the best skins for my two favorite characters in the game and I've gotten nearly every other non-skin item from this event instead.
Can we just remove D.va's ability to use ultimate [I]after[/I] you have destroyed her mech? It feels so frustrating to go all in, destroy that mech and be "rewarded" by D.va's ult in your face in close quarters.
It just feels so counterintuitive and weird to get sometimes punished by managing to destroy the mech.

It does feel a bit weird that you can't destroy the mech before it blows up, I know I tried doing that a few times before realizing that just isn't a thing for some reason. Although if it could, that would mean it'd basically be unusable if you were already significantly hurt.

I don't mean "D.va presses Q at low health and her ult is cancelled by destroying the mech", I mean "after you have reduced mech's health to 0 and the destruction animation has started she shouldn't be able to press Q any more".

Man that D.va figure is only 40 bucks? I don't know much about figures, but isn't that hella cheap?

They're unofficial and not the highest quality, so that's to be expected.
You also need to pay for shipping which is up to $25 I believe? So it's still way cheaper than the official figures.

Shipping on the site posted above is only two dollars.
I'm starting to think that the secret to actually rank up on low elo is to basically play Pharah.
Nobody focuses you, Nobody gives a shit if you are killing their healers and Nobody gives a shit that you're constantly pushing 3 people to their deaths every time they respawn.
Golly fucking gee, no wonder there are so many idiots on the Battle.net forums that thinks she's Overpowered. Every time she's on the other team they just let her do whatever the fuck she wants. And of course most of those times I'm playing something like Lucio so I can't do jackshit but accept her rockets up my ass. And even when I'm Ana I can't exactly focus on killing her and heal the entire fucking team during a teamfight. I swear every time I play Soldier that shit never happens.
Poor Winston needs however to focus his fire over an enemy for some moments before his weapon starts doing full/average damage.
With Symmetra, instead, you literally latch onto an enemy and take him/her for a ride (towards the nearest graveyard, I'd bet)
Winston's weapon requires some aiming, unlike Symmetra's.
Don't know if the console players even do this here, but passing the word on anyway.

I wouldn't think this should really be a concern for them. From what I understand ([url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-6tHL0iMI4]based on this video[/url], keyboards/mice solutions for consoles are bad. It doesn't really function like a mouse because it's a mouse trying to emulate an analog stick instead of an actual mouse, making it imprecise. Haven't used one but from how it sounds I don't think it would particularly improve performance.
THAT SAID JUST SUPPORT MOUSE AND KEYBOARDS ON CONSOLES PleaSE

I can see where they're coming from with this, playing with a controller against players using keyboard/mouse puts you at a disadvantage even if you're good with a controller.
Use a controller like everyone else on console or just get the PC version instead.
as upsetting as CTF is sometimes i actually really enjoy it because it's the only mode where i'm guaranteed to play defense. there's something relaxing about defending one spot even if i do wind up losing horribly
[QUOTE=Steel & Iron;51767656]Well, if you like merch and like D.VA or Widowmaker, I have some news to share. Because the Chinese could honestly give a fuck about international copyright laws, some merch has popped up, and if you could get a third party to ship it or find some other way to get ahold of it, well there you go.

I can't personally speak of the quality of either of these things, so your mileage may vary.

Speaking of unofficial merch, i've visited a local comic book shops and they had tons of Overwatch merch imported from chinese sites like Aliexpress, stuff like Reaper's mask, a painted Soldier 76 statue, some chibis, and a 20cm Genji statue. Genji looked cool, i was almost gonna buy it but the price was really inflated for what it was (60 euro ugh)
