I'll bang the Winston-Drum here again - he can't reflect the tazer gun, you've a good bit of health and can always leap away if things go south.

Had no idea you could deflect Hanzo's ult with Genji, that's pretty cool and makes sense from a lore point of view if you've watched their story movie.

Found out the hard way last night that Hanzo's Ult can be delfected by Genji! Was not a happy camper. Didn't think it was possible.

I thought I did it by accident once. Was wondering if it changes it so it hurts the enemy team or does it just change the direction of it but it still only hurts your team?

Anything that's a projectile can be deflected, and if it's deflected will act like it's been fired from your team.

I''d prefer Winston over Mei slightly to counter Genji, simply because a good Genji will dart off before he's frozen, and Winston can jump after him.

Aw, I liked the idea of Hanzo's being the only one you could deflect but that's made me look at Genji's deflecting in a different light, will definitely be attempting that later.

I've definitely deflected a few ults (thought I deflected the actual dragons Hanzo sends out rather than the preceeding arrow though) but I'm usually crap at directing at someone in time.

Been trying out D.va. She seems to be great on attack but awful on defense. I'm not 100% sure why. That's what my small sample size is telling me anyway.

Is there a report function on PS4 version? Getting tired of losing competitive games in dorado due to the turret glitch.

J. Marston

So tired of playing Ilios. Feels like it's popping up every second match.

Grayditch

Man I love that map. Parah or Junkrat and bombs away.

There's no way to report players directly via PS4. One of the many ways in which Blizzard has decided to neglect console players unfortunately.

However, if you link your Battlenet account to your in-game one, you can report players via their website with 5% less hassle than it would be to do otherwise.

I don't bother myself. Strange because I used to use my mic in every game in counter strike. I don't even use headphones for this.

Guessing it's the one where a turret can be hidden in the wall

That's the one, they can even have 2 up there. Steam rolling a team in it yesterday and then they did the above, that was it then, game over.

They also still haven't applied the patch for getting barely any xp when a player leaves the opposing team. I get they have to pay to patch on consoles, but it's frustrating never the less, especially when we were forced to pay extra for the origins edition.

Agreed.

I loved D.Va before. and now shes even better ! Holy hell is she broken! The sheer amount of projectiles you can now soak up with defence matrix is mental now that's on a toggle/charge.

Ana is also very fun. Im so ****e at sniping though itll take me a while be be in any effective on her.

Yeah I can't believe how good D.Va is on attack. I never play her and I was completely stomping straight away. Her mobility is amazing for a tank. She be used as a flanker.

Hanamura and Volskaya Industries are basically the same map.

Nody

There are honestly two changes I'd like to see; first revert D.Va explosion delay change. It's far to easy with that radius (esp. with the boost and trigger style) and secondly add .5s more delay on Tracer's bomb for same reason. Basically if you're not running in the right direction the moment they are triggered you'll die which is a tad BS even for an epic move with instant kill.

Don't even bother scoping in - there's literally no need. From what I've seen there's no reduction in accuracy when no-scoping.

I'm starting to get very annoyed at idiot teammates who have no idea how to contest the goddamn payload. It's like they will do anything except sit on the damn thing when you're in overtime.

Osmosis Jones

Ana's shots are projectiles when hip firing and hit-scan when scoped.

Also, when scoped with her there is a triangle around the reticle, once a teammate is inside the triangle they will get healed when you fire.

Don't even talk. Lost an escort game a few days ago where we were meters from the finish in overtime, think we maybe had two guys alive. One got Roadhog-hoooked away, and then the last guy on the payload, our f*cking Reinhardt with a shield, charged at the Roadhog, thereby jumping off the payload and losing us the match.
