It genuinely surprises me how many people are surprised to know Sombras ult cancels Sym's ult.

It also gives me no end of fun to save my Sombra ult just to troll the Sym.

The first time I used Sombra's Ult, I managed to cancel out a Lucio ult.

That feels like forever ago.

I don't really get the thinking behind another nerf to defence matrix. It only lasts for two seconds at the moment so you can't spam it and if you want to eat an ult you have to be either very lucky or be incredibly good at reading the game.

D'Va has the highest pick rate in all ranks; basically every game and every comp ran her. That is why she needed a nerf in some form to bring her down to the same level as other tanks.

I played 50+ comp games last season between low gold and high silver and I'd say DVA made an appearance in 10 of those games.

It's backed up she has like a 90 something percent pick rate. Low gold and high silver are low gold and high silver because they can't see the benefit of a tank that can eat 90% of the games ults

I was just replying to Nody who said she has the highest pick rate at all ranks which wasn't true in my experience down here.

She can't eat 90% of the ults either. She can eat Hanzo, Tracer and Zarya. Her matrix will run out before Hog, Solider, Pharah (just) and Reaper finish ulting.

IvoryTower · 08-01-2019 4:00pm

she's super effective against the last 4 tbf, you're dead by time the matrix has run out

i love dva but always nice to see the meta get a shake up, games will be nice and fresh now for a while until we're sick of the next meta

Mcree, soldier, Anna I think, hog 90% of it, pharrah matrix fly to pharrah cause her to suicide, torbs, a good bit of Bob if you body, bastian, reaper enough that he dies without a kill, meis.

raze_them_all_ · 08-01-2019 4:03pm

And never mind that it's anything projectile in the game. By far the best defence ability in the game in a char that if you get her out of mech she can remech pretty quick if you don't have your aiming boots on

raze_them_all_ · 08-01-2019 4:59pm

Oh my I just realised if that reaper change goes through. Anna picks will sky rocket. Nano a dB reaper. Increased damage, increased healing to go with less damage taken

Does bionade increase his life steal healing too?

I actually don't know that one. But if it did he would be immortal bar a one shot. Quick Google later

The 140 health steal is already the best hps in the game, by far. Add in the nano it goes to 210 a second, biotic grenade adds another 50 percent so will wither ramp up to a max of 280 or 315. Either way.... That's practically immortal.

Canis Lupus · 08-01-2019 8:33pm

Not looking forward to a reaper buff. He's super annoying at the best of times already.

As a tank main, I'm dreading it. Particularly at my rank when heals are a minimum. I actually think it's too much. He's almost unkillable now.

IvoryTower · 09-01-2019 3:01pm

See Jeff kaplan said no one under diamond plays goats properly, even if they pick the characters they don't actually play how they were supposed to, said it was the same with dive. Funny

I can confirm this fact. I include myself amongst the cabbage gold players too btw, not directed at teammates.

IvoryTower · 09-01-2019 4:37pm

also said if people dont like dealing with a meta go play mystery heroes, lul, i like jeff

True though, I've been in a few different groups where you get locked in for goats comp. Nobody had a clue. Same with Dive. Under diamond it's run and gun.

worried about the incoming reaper buffs :pac:

Mickeroo · 10-01-2019 10:04am

If you suggest goats in gold people often act like you're speaking double dutch.

"Why we have 3 sup? 2-2-2 pls" etc

A fair few people do know what it is too though but as for the intricacies of how you're actually supposed to play it I'm not so sure...

2-2-2? What's this? Is it two snipers, two builders and two regular DPS

It usually goes 4DPS, 1 Tank, 1 Healer. Then the DPS are spread everywhere and constantly complaining that they are not getting healing :pac:

IvoryTower · 10-01-2019 10:10am

I've yet to be on a team who's played it as it should be and that's in diamond, sure it's rare you'd have everyone on mic for a start which means its already fooked

It's literally impossible in a PUG. Only time you'll see that sort of play is to join a dedicated team, specialise and practice. I've pondered trying it out.

Nody · 10-01-2019 1:38pm

Ragtag (Master) takes on his gf who's has less than 1h total playtime on Reaper 1 v. 1 and is gold / plat at best on her best DPS character on the ptr. To say Reaper might be a tad overdone against tanks is an understatement.

Ragg has been out of masters for a few seasons now as his condition sadly gets worse which is a shame (why couldn't stylosa be the one with degenerative illness, yes ladies and gentlemen).

Jelly the girl in the chat is not his gf either bw, she's just a mate of his who he duo queues a lot with.

The video is spot on though.

He got deleted. Looks like most games will come down to who has a better reaper.

100 percent. I can't see them pushing through at this though. Too many people are already showing how op it is. I do think that anything above diamond it'll be wrecked though. Unless you have a proper pro player putting in serious time to even get value as his teleport is much too loud and slow to use

Remember the bastion changes they made in season 3 or 4? Every game ended up with a Reinhardt, Bastion and Mercy and the team that didn't lost. They reverted the changes but there had been plenty of people saying it was a bad idea from the PTR.

Don't they listen more now don't they?? Either way I've about 240 odd hours of reaper through my profiles so if it comes through...... Oh yes

IvoryTower · 15-01-2019 10:55pm

Ive gone a bit stale, time for a new character. Gonna try sombra cause when i squad up with the mates we almost always get done in by cheese

K.O.Kiki · 17-01-2019 2:28am

Blizzard hired dillongoo (ex-RWBY animator) for a Bastet Ana animation!

Canis Lupus · 17-01-2019 8:02am

That was a lot of meh.

TerrorFirmer · 22-01-2019 10:39am

Finally made it to Plat with Moira after toeing the line for the past two seasons. I predict a losing streak...

K.O.Kiki · 24-01-2019 1:00am

Leaked skins.

Nody · 24-01-2019 8:37am

And as usual not a fan of them for some reason; Orisa's skin is by far the worst simply due to the "Hey here's where you should shoot me" set up.

fixXxer · 24-01-2019 10:25am

I like the Bearded Generals group a lot. Lots of nice details on them. The Orisa one is ok. I understand she's a hard character model to skin for, but the forest spirit and null sector ones show that she can get good ones when the team are motivated.

J. Marston · 24-01-2019 11:01am

They're not really doing anything to tempt lapsed players back. Same events, same comp.

IvoryTower · 24-01-2019 12:40pm

assuming theyre focused on the main game all good with me

In fairness everything they are doing is free.

Canis Lupus · 25-01-2019 2:31am

patch notes:

Dva defense matrix: No longer makes helix rockets lock onto enemies.

This was a thing? Whaaaat?

EDIT: That Rein skin is awesome. I also want the Zen skin... I could paaay but I'll see if I get lucky first.

TerrorFirmer · 25-01-2019 10:10am

Never knew that was a thing with Dva either!

Mickeroo · 25-01-2019 10:13am

Wat. New one on me too, don't recall them ever mentioning it when they introduced the rockets.

You mean Soldier 76 helix rockets? They would only lock on during his ult.

Which didn't really work from a distance as the lock on wouldn't account for travel time meaning that you would miss a lot.
They plan on making them free aim even during his ult so that people can target who they want with them.

Or do you mean those missiles that Dva fires?

Canis Lupus · 25-01-2019 11:47am

Wait I dunno... I'm not home but on pc patch notes that's what I read but now I'm on mobile I can't find it.

I can't find any mention unless it was a patch note booboo. Once I get home I can confirm but I copied that word for word from the notes you can click on from the launcher unless I was some how delerious

K.O.Kiki · 25-01-2019 12:14pm

Probably a typo for Soldier.

Yeah, I see that now from an older patch note. Definitely displayed in this patch note under DVA for me but it's not there now. Stand down everyone not that it mattered either way

Canis Lupus · 25-01-2019 12:27pm

Also reaper isn't as bad as I was expecting or at least not yet. Lots playing him and he seems to be dying easily enough and doesn't seem to be any more annoying but I've also noticed a lot of 1 reaper Vs 6 players so they might be going through an initial phase of thinking they're immortal and finding out they're not.

I'm also seeing a lot of dvas currently getting wrecked. I think they need to get used to a new peel time now that armour ain't so hot.

Canis Lupus · 25-01-2019 12:52pm

3 posts in a row. Record posting.

It's there on the pc notes for me when I click the link. In retrospect the full wording doesn't make sense.

Just had a 62 elims round as Moira and it wasn't an extended jobby. Straight up 2 rounds move the payload. FEAR ME MORTALS!

Also...I'm currently drunk.

Moira just leeches kills, easy to get crazy amount of kills with her, now if your damage is high also, then Bravo :P:pac:
