One char SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO nulify multiple ults, It's a broken system, dva at least needs to be in the front line with her cunty DM, mercy just hide

I've seen it swing games far too much. I dunno, I'm interested to see this new way anyway.

SeantheMan

Playin through placements with 2nd account now. Won 5 outta 6 so far.
(Account was placed in Plat last year, I expect at least Plat if I've already won 5/6)

I wish I could go on streaks like this during the actual seasons

I think without the incentive to hide its going to be great. The most fun i have with Mercy is flying from person to person frantically top up healing during a fire fight. Throw in the odd single rez to that and i dont see how it can be bad.

*Pops Valkyrie mode for first time* "Oh cool I can fly around, look at me guys!"
*Team all screaming for healing*
"Hey Ana boost me so I can go combat Mercy!"
*Team bitching in chat from spawn about Mercy mains after the Valkyrie change*

Update : Game makes no sense

Account #1 : (Lvl 280) Season 5 - placed low gold - climbed to Plat , Season 6 : Placed in Plat (6/10
Account #2 : (Lvl 40) Season 5 - placed Plat , stayed more or less there , Season 6 : Placed in Gold (6/10)

is it not all about how you perform though in comparison to other players who use the same characters, rather than the wins


Anyway I continued to free-fall to 2014sr, one loss from silver, had a crisis meeting with myself and decided to look at my stats(for the first time lol). Anyway Rein & Winston were just over 50% so I've decided to pick one of them soon as I enter a game, Ill still switch to healer if we're really stuck but for the most part there's not enough tanks anyway. Got back up to 2170 including winning every game this morning for about 6 in a row! was nearly gonna call in sick.

Fair play, at least you know you've got a few characters where you can really influence the outcome of the game.

Nothing wrong with playing what you're best at, especially if you also do your bit flexing to healer when nobody else will.

I just got my Korean flatmate to play my account back up to 2502SR :pac:

I actually do believe that mcrees flashbang should be like genjis blade bull****, get a kill insta available again

Are you playing on console or PC out of curiosity?

Console hovering between high plat/diamond right now.

My point was more that any hero who got the level of buff junkrat got would shoot up the popularity ranks, just pulled mcCree out of the air as an example.

IvoryTower

I imagine one of the ways they try to keep people interested in the game is constant buffing of ****ty characters, i doubt very much if they found a perfect balance they'd want to stick with it

I was just thinking what would work for Mc Cree on console. I find the pad very hard to use for his flick shots and the kind of accuracy he requires so it was along those lines I would have looked at changes.

He's got an even HIGHER usage & win ratio on PC! :pac:

However, this is kinda good for me since Pharah > Junkrat.

SeantheMan

Never seen him picked on Korean servers before the buff, after it he turns up in about 66% of games I'd say.

But....in saying that...they started picking him just before the buff was announced due to the performances of that Korean guy during the World Cup.
Watch Korea vs Austria on King's Row defense...you'll see why.

J. Marston

His popularity has also meant that trap mines outside spawn are rarely successful anymore. Everyone is wary of the Rat.
