    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.

    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.

    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.

    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:

    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 :confused:

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

    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.

    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


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,825 ✭✭✭IvoryTower


    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

  • Registered Users Posts: 9,893 ✭✭✭Canis Lupus

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

    Leaked skins.

    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.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,283 ✭✭✭fixXxer


    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.

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


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,825 ✭✭✭IvoryTower


    assuming theyre focused on the main game all good with me

    In fairness everything they are doing is free.

    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.
