Nor Winston, cant count how many times I've ended up on Pharah duty as Winny

It can be tough playing as Moira. Does anyone find themselves getting heckled semi-regularly just because they see you using drain to recharge and decide you're doing nothing?

Had it in a game just there, guy constantly moaning about how I apparently wasn't healing.....end of game, calls me a 'cancer noob' and blames loss on our '0 heal dps moira'.... best healer in game, out-healing their Moira and Mercy (nothing spectacular just 10k in the 8m, but still).

Never happens with Mercy even if I'm doing terribly with her and not getting much healing in. But Moira....I've had comp games where I've done 20-22k healing and still have a teammate moaning I'm not healing.

I have noticed that before as well, particularly if say a genji lands on the back line, you try to fight him off and someone dies "uh **** sake moira do your job" . There are times when you're not going to out heal someones damage either and youre better off going for the kill, of course the guy will think you could have kept him alive

plus yay...more knock backs and the return and enforcement of dive comp (with Hammond).

When this guy drops the pace of the game is going to quicken more as well.

Hammond is a weird dive though. Proper mechanically skilled players will destroy with him while average players will make him seem pointless

Do folks here have their profile set to public? I generally play tank but this season I've clocked up more time playing ana. I recently set my profile to public and generally if I select a different role, the leader will reassing roles..basically making me play ana. It's happened a few times, I generally leave as I dont' want to pick a healer.

Going back to private now.

fixXxer

I have mine set to public, but I play Tank, Support or Junkrat so I can fit in fairly easily.

raze_them_all_

I leave it public. **** them how else can I justify my torb picking bar my Winrate with him

I think it's a dumb idea, and if it absolutely had to be implemented it should be public by default and opt into private, have to play 20questions every new group now just to set up a comp.

Could just remove it altogether, it's only ever used for people to moan about how many hours someone has on a character. group leader was removing people who had it on private in a game this morning, so toxic

But if you go into comp you want to know what you are dealing with. I have 145 hours or so in junk, 130 odd on reaper, a **** ton on rein same with Anna. If I joined and played Winston and only have 5 hours of total I would expect to be told to **** off comp isn't for practice

Anyone here watch Rag Tags Toxic Coaching series on YouTube?

Well now Stylosa is going to do a similar series and is getting very defensive over the whole thing.

He announces the series at the start of this video.

Rag Tag makes a reply above.

And Sty has a massive whinge in this one.

Jesus Christ - how do people listen to that? Couldn't make it past 2 seconds of the first video. Why does he sound like he's recording at gunpoint?

I used to watch his videos when he started first but he's painful to listen to now.

YouTube drama :rolleyes:

Don't like that Stylosa guy at all. Takes fake enthusiasm and dials it up to 12. Also, having to sponsor for the chance of getting of toxic coaching is greasy but apparently Youtubers are losing money big time these days so I guess they have to do stuff like this.

DeadlyByDesign

What a thieving C.N.T. I used to like Sty but this is a rip off any way you swing it

Finally getting back into this. I jumped on to test out the new Symmetra and have a go of Bridget and just got hooked again.

The new symmetra is better suited to attack rather defense now. The teleport is incredible in specific situation but useless the majority of the time. E.g. your entire team flanking on Volskaya on both points. Her beam is difficult to aim so she's basically a tank buster now. The turrets are an annoyance. Useful to get the enemy to turn around as they walk through a choke. I often use the teleport as a distraction in the middle of a fight. People still see it as a high priority target so I'd throw one down wherever it will be seen to occupy an enemy. That trick won't last long though.

DeadlyByDesign

I literally have no idea how to fight sym now. Those turrets just pop up every where and are a nuisance. Her orbs seem to stronger as well. TP is pointless now, and very, very, very situational. I used V1 and V2 Sym a lot, she may as well be a different character now.

fixXxer

The teleporter seems very useful for getting high ground when attacking a point, but not much else. It's going to get a lot more tweaking before they settle I think. She feels like they have run out of ideas to make her viable but still staying within a framework of who the character was originally.

Well it can let you set up the likes of rein in places he shouldn't be able to get on defence, mcrees etc things like that.

IvoryTower

Bridgette seems to have been a big success, you see her in plenty of games but not too many. In fact i think the support characters are quite well balanced at the moment, well certainly around plat level there always seems to be a good mix.


Actually I forgot ana, she still needs a boost imo

Return her to her pre needed nano state. With the power creep of easy to play heroes being super powerful skill heros really should have the ability to turn/dominate games

Back in Ireland, don't have a capable PC yet....so I bought overwatch for my PS4.

It's a very different game and experience.

Anyone with a PS4 who needs a friend ...please add me SeannyLovesTea

I dont find it all that different myself since I got the pc, only difference I notice is I haven't got enough fingers to do everything!

I'm going to switch Jump on to L3 so I can still look around while in the air and move interact to X and see how it goes. Anyone else have any joy reconfiguring the standard controls for more accuracy?
