[QUOTE=Jarokwa;51797870]using qp to try out new heroes and practice is totally fine but if you're doing dumb shit on purpose with no intention of doing the objective you should just go fuck around in arcade.[/QUOTE]
Pretty much this. I really only do dumb shit whenever I play QP, but I actually at least try to win while I'm being a complete moron
... probably helps that matchmaking keeps putting me against people way below my skill level and the fact that almost nobody plays healers, but yeah.
-already posted-
Custom games will be great, you can disable the useless heroes, like Widow, Hanzo, and Sombra! Every time I see one in QP it aggravates me, especially when they refuse to switch when they're not doing anything for the team.

Am I the only one who finds D.va to be total trash?
Everytime I'm up against her, no matter who I pick, I can easily just headshot her until she's out of mech. Can only respond by defense matrix or flying away.

You're not the only one.
The nerfs went overboard and I honestly think she's worst than she's ever been.
The gun changes did a lot of things that don't show up on paper, locking her out of a lot of headshot damage, it was a lot more than an 8% nerf. More bullets flying everywhere was the last thing she needed.
All the while she's still a walking headshot hitbox, so gutting the armor only intensified this issue.
The Defense matrix fix is nice, but she's hardly going to be alive enough to use it.
Since its already inheriently full of holes, I also can't see running D.Va when Zarya blocks literally anything and everything.
As an interesting side note, her current mech gun, forced slowdown and abysmal dps now cannot beat Recon bastion in a 1v1 fight. Her DPS falls off too quickly for the healing to out do it.
Been playing QP with a friend.
Becouse I havent played sombra in ages (not much time for pc gaming) I decided it was about time I plyed her again.
2 crucial EMPs:
~ 2 people and a Turret Hack (allowed us to push through Hangar on Giblartar)
~ 3/4 people and I think a turret (magnificent jump) which allowed my team's Reaper to jump down and mow everyone with his ult
That second one granted Reaper a POTG where in first second it shows me in the air using EMP... I realy want combo-POTG to be a thing already..
Also, whats the best way to record this stuff? I get so many amazing or funny POTG is feels sad whenever I have to "show POTG with words" :cry:
I just don't get D.va at a fundamental level. Why does a character that only deals damage up close have to move really slowly to shoot? Why does her damage blocking have such an awful visual effect that your teammates can barely see, making it really hard to use for teamplay? What does she do that Winston doesn't do better? What COULD she do? What role is her kit supposed to be designed around? If we were to remove a hero for just having a nonsensical toolkit that doesn't work well together on a basic level, D.va would be on top of the list. You can buff her stats but that won't fix her being a clunky mess with a bunch of abilities that don't synergize well at all. She needs some heavy reworks at a basic level imo.

Ana a cute
First game, 1 "deaf" person that leaves voice chat, 1 person who has bugged client who can't join voice chat, and 3 terrible dps (widowmaker that couldn't hit anyone, genji who couldn't kill anyone, some other dps that didn't do ANYTHING)
fun! I thought 3400 would be better than this.

don't worry, people still play like garbage at 3900
Why can't people just play competitive competitively and as a team?

I don't think bliz even knows.
Geoff's post about d.va's role made that much clear.
If she had mid range miniguns instead of pea shooters a lot of her kit would make more sense., which is why I assume she has that slowdown on shooting mechanic in the first place. Something like TF2's Heavy.
Instead they made her spread so hilariously large, she has to be at point blank to do damage, which just so happens to be terrible with her headshot hitbox placement.
But hey, we kinda already know blizzard has no idea what they're doing.

That looks like a pretty fun [I]castom[/I] gamemode
If only Sombra didn't announce to the entire universe that she just uncloaked.

I tested this yesterday with some friends in a custom game. We used a full charge Widowmaker body shot to see how the damage reduction worked.
We nanoboosted the Bastion in sentry mode and shot him once. The result was 13 damage.
120 damage * (1 - 0.85) = 18 damage
After the damage reduction the armor modifier sets in resulting in:
5 damage armor reduction = 13 damage
This means that the effective health of a nanoboosted Bastion in sentry or tank form is:
300 / (1 - 0.85) = 2000
So Bastion has 2000 health without armor reduction taken into account.

It's like it is not even 2017
Aw man, I remember that glitch. You can also just get stuck up on the ladders in Volskaya spawn and it'll happen.
Nearly every fucking custom gamemode that I've been able to join is just 2-4x speed heroes.
Why can't there be a lucioball mode in this update?

I will be the first to admit that I hate thaT DVa's mech has shotguns instead of anything good

fuck
I've had so much fun with the custom game changes
this is seriously one of my favorite updates so far
Do the custom games allow for anything like all-talk in them? I miss the days of joining servers in tf2 and having friendly banter with everyone.

I am surprised it's not already a thing to be honest.

Wonder if they're still working on a way to save/export PotGs
