So how are your games going lately? [megathread]

[Jessicka]

As far as I know, the reason she's being nerfed is exactly because the pros in contenders think she's broken.

Contenders said straight up that the side that picks her will usually lose.

[Gandrake]

You aren't returning the favor to the throwers though, the actual guilty party

i wasnt talking about throwers

i'm talking about every team that has lost a match where i have done 14k+ as tracer, i'm talking about every match where our team has gotten beaten in the choke because our DVA is too retarded to dive a bastion or a turret, i am talking about every player who has let mercy resurrect right in front of them, i'm talking about every match i have lost with gold damage and eliminations as Winston.

I am tired of fucking dogshit slow balance changes. I am tired of anyone level 25 being able to walk into comp. I am tired of people 2 ranks below me thinking they are allowed to pick before anyone else on the team. I am tired of people playing heroes they have never played before in comp waiting until the last minute to change when there was no need for that hero in the first place.

But mostly, I am tired of being expected to carry. I can't take it anymore when I can throw a match for an entire round and still have medals, sometimes gold medals when 15+ fucking heroes in this game all do very competitive damage.

She's getting nerfed anyways, because the pros are complaining about her. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TW1GMQKDzQA

I saw, it's batshit insane. Nerfing a hero that at any level below GM is a fucking troll pick, and at GM is right on the edge of troll pick because some pro players cried? They simply don't want her in the game. Seriously should just delete her, Mei, Symmetra, Doomfist, Torb and Ana at this point, it's clear they're not serious about making them viable.

Sounded like you were, but alright. I'm sorry to hear all that, I really am, because I know it can get frustrating as fuck when you do everything you can yet it's just not enough to drag your team to win, especially when it just keeps on and on. However, that doesn't really make this throwing spree any less of a nasty thing to do, I wish you'd take a step back and reconsider.

If you havent met a sombra player that makes you understand why she's getting nerfed then I'm glad for you. It was broken.

OMG IS SUCH NERF GOD JUST DELETE HER JEFF

I don't play comp often, so I can't really say much, but I have seen quite a few different Sombras in QP and Arcade since her buffs that have made me slightly salty just because of the stupidity that is her hack speed/LoS issue.

Though now I wish they'd change Symmetra's beam now with the same LoS checks, that thing can get pretty fucking stupid real quick when it goes through walls as if you're on it's leash.

They really need to do this with her, it's completely ridiculous how the damn beam doesn't break from neither LoS or 5 miles distance.

I've reported it before, and got told by a MVP on the official forums that it has to do with "player ping", I'm sorry, but if the person playing Symmetra gets that much of a benefit by having a higher ping, then you might want to change something.

Yeah, I figured she also has the so-called "shooter's advantage" that annoys me on other characters too, when I had already pressed a life-saving button just before imminent death but it didn't trigger and I died anyway. But it makes the beam completely out of line, I'm sure there's something they could adjust do to reduce that effect.

How do I think it’s balanced? Because at the end of the match they’re the ones staring at DEFEAT in big letters on their screen.

I've been playing with a plat Sombra and she's absolutely not a troll pick, she's an IWIN button.

"balance"

[Dug]

I'm not a ranked player but I just want to say that I hate widowmaker. That is all.

[Jessicka]

"balance"

You know that it ALWAYS HAS DONE THIS SINCE SHE WAS RELEASED, right? Depending on latency. It proves nothing about her impact on a match, where 80% of the time she's doing absolutely fuck all trying to find a way in to find a way to Hack.

What matters, is what happens on the end screen, whether it says Victory or Defeat, for Sombra, it's overwhelmingly the latter.

The Sombra buff made me stay away from the game. She's ridiculously strong now since you don't have time to do anything before you're hacked, you basically need people to watch your back and you to watch theirs and someone to watch both of yours backs and someone to watch that watchers back to avoid a hack.

[Gandrake]

team: plz pick heal
me: lol no
*picks mercy*
mccree: omg heal mercy cant u do something useful
me: well according to the scoreboard i'm doing your job better than you
*gold elims*
*6k damage*
*4+ kd*
1 round lmao

I used to not believe in ELO hell but ever since these kids broke my back it's like my eyes have been opened. don't tell me battle mercy isn't a playstyle with stats like that lmao

[A-sayo]

Still waiting for Sym changes where her m1 breaks if the target is too far away from the cursor or los. As compensation, Bli² can fix the beam tethering to Mei walls and increasing the damage of her turrets by 1. :<
I also wonder when will Hanzo/Torb reworks drop since they talked about it recently. They didn't seem to like the "Piercing Arrow" idea.

They supposedly decided on "leap" like ability, and a volley of arrows type thing for Hanzo, but I haven't heard anything since then. Nor anything about Torb changes.
