What type of healers do games like Dota and LoL have? I'm sure there's a few concepts they can steal and repurpose for a FPS shooter.

Dunno about LoL, but Dota doesn't have many healers, per se (or didn't when I stopped playing). There are a few support heroes with healing spells but overall, the main healing mechanics involve self healing from a variety of different roles.

Hanzo's ulti is similar to KotL's heal, albeit more effective and for offensive purposes. Lucio's heal is similar to Witch Doctor's heal but mana isn't involved.

The only healing mechanic I can think of that they could steal is Omniknight's, whereby it's on a cooldown, focuses a single target and damages enemies close by. Could be lethal if used on Winston or an aggressive Rein.

Do you find your winning or losing by big margins?

Yeah for the most part, a lot of total lockouts with short second rounds

Just had one of the worst teams I've ever played with.

Reaper, Sombra, Rein, Hanzo, S76 so I took Mercy.

Built up an ult fairly quickly, telling the team my ult was up for about 40 seconds so they'd push, nothing. I get downed and everyone on my team then ults. Morons.

Switched to D.Va for the last minute, Bronze Elims and Gold Obj Time (4 seconds I think).

Start next round as Zen, end up with 4 Golds despite having zero protection. Spamming thanks when I get downed. Uuuuuugh. Just venting now.

*edit* Won the next one I love seeing Symmetra since I took up Winston, I hated her so much beforehand, had a Reaper totally carry the defense as 'FidgetSpinner_xx' dicked around as Widow.

I'm pretty sure I just heard Tracer say wanker ha!

Digital Solitude

"Thank you!" I think maybe?

Finally got my 20 player kill streak, with D.Va. 60% Wins with her this season, 56% with Winston. Still can't break the 2200 barrier, but I'll get there.

My name is URL

She definitely says wanker.

Tosser, too

It's a rare voice-line when wearing her Punk skin. She has another funny rare line where she does a Reaper impression after killing him...

Haha, that's awesome. Touches like that really make this game.

Digital Solitude

That is brilliant

Finally broke 2200, only to be sent packing.

Horizon point B is a joke for Mercy's bullshít. She can stand right inside spawn and is about 5 feet away from the point. Bloody definition of a no-skill character. Stand inside spawn and press ult.

Hope she gets nerfed into the ground.

dont be silly they changed it so she has to go outside spawn for 0.01 of a second to press q, solves everything

Back to 2501. *wipes tear*

Do people care about cards ?

Not really but when you dominate that hard and that low healing takes it then yes

I'm back enjoying this game again while keeping solo queuing to an absolute minimum. Whether I'm playing with lads on here or the other lot, it's infinitely more enjoyable with full comms and tactics.

I'm experiencing such a thing as an "enjoyable loss" quite a bit too.

World Cup is live atm lads, I know it's a strange time for most of you though.

For fun I played some quickplay and ranked on NA last night.
Was refreshing....but some idiots too. I guess they're everywhere.

Never got on the hype train where Doomfist was concerned and I'm still dissapointed.
He looks like fun but nothing amazing.

I mean his abilities, I know there will more than likely be nerfs or buffs after the PTR but still.
Maybe I'm being too mean, time will tell. If nothing else another reason to play Sombra.

Spain tilting so hard atm vrs Japan.

It's great.

Spain were expected to win comfortably, Japan are hyper aggressive and winning !
You can see in between games when the camera goes onto the Spanish team...the guy's faces :P ...they don't look like friends at all.

Edit : These are worth watching, DEFINITELY watch the McCree on Dorado (4th game) ...Japan on attack.
One of the best McCree plays you'll ever see. God-like aim.

Was mercy the only one on your team to get a card?

Australian players are all getting shunted over to the US at the moment. Mucho dissatisfaction.... Really wanted to get some Overwatch in today and I'm being thwarted.

What are the comps like? I'm guessing it's dive vs dive 95% of the time.

2-2-2

Winston+ Dva / Soldier - Genji/Tracer or whatever / Zen,Lucio Ana or Mercy

situational.

The 2 constants seem to be Dva and Winston as tanks though.
