So how are your games going lately? [megathread]

[Kelimbror]

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.

If it's anything like recent changes, they will make him vastly more powerful on live than when he had scatter shot. He will suddenly counter a hero he had no business countering with less skill than scatter required, because to be honest you still have to aim at a spot to use scatter reliably. Instead of applying simple logic, which would have been to ensure scatter arrows never do more than x dmg no mater how many hit someone. You don't want it one shotting tanks? Ok, make it do 300 dmg if all arrows hit. He can already one shot every 200hp hero with normal attacks, so what is the difference at that point really?

If anything it'll be like the Sha Lin in Paladins. His Planted ability allows him release arrows quickly, while being rooted in place. I can see them taking that and just baking it into an ability where Habzi shoots the volley of arrows in swift succession. Dunno how much damage it'd do, since Scatter Arrow can one shot an Orisa if aimed properly >.> It'd be good against shields though, since those tree trunks hit hard as is.

[Kelimbror]

I would be happy if they made Hanzo into a shield shattering specialist, b/c those shits need to go.

[Gandrake]

if you have ever played dragon's dogma i think what he is going to get is going to be like the threefold arrow

[Explicit Teemo Nudes]

The downside is that Hanzo mains are going to contribute even less if they nerf him :P
Personally I'm still waiting for a Genguuu nerf. He shouldn't be able to use reflect when he has his ult active.

That makes no sense at all.

Good thing you're so eager to elaborate.

[Eapoe]

Has got to be the worst season for me so far. My W:L ratio is terrible, and getting some toxic people that just want to trash talk the whole team. Last game had an Ana and Moira healing who refused to heal me at all and then blame the damage we couldn't kill anything. Last game was pretty much me playing a 1v6, or 1v11 if you count my own team.

[Woobels]

Good thing you're so eager to elaborate.

Forcing him to use reflect when he's ulting is a big enough win, him not being able to use it is just arbitrarily restricting him to make up for people failing to shoot at him, I don't feel he's really even that dominant of a hero with Zen in every game.

Reworking Hanzo is also not the same as nerfing, they're likely making him more consistent.

[Natta Lmo]

I've always been a dps, then recently I tried healer (mainly moira) and my god, it's so much more fun and I've found my rank is going up way quicker. But it has also opened me up to a new hatred that I didn't even know about before. Shit. Fucking. DPS. Good god it's so infuriating when I'm losing a game and I've got gold healing and elims, DPS piss me off so much more than they used to. Killing genjis and tracers is fun though

im stuck in a similar position, if u play a healer then u dont have enough dps on the team but if u pick dps then u dont have a healer that knows how to heal

[Natta Lmo]

Why not just leave, or better yet - ignore them and get a win?

why would u want them to win if they are being racist to you? leaving gives you a lot of rating loss so that is not an option since its -50 points

Moira is insanely good at burst healing and sniping low hp targets, she should have gold elims if she's good, and only really loses gold healing to a good mercy.

Haha similar story as a Tank main. Pick healer because we need a healer, and I feel like healing, somehow against Widow, 76, and their Ana putting a lot of healing out we end up with Rein on Pharah and the tanking picked up by Roadhog and Zarya. I'm hearding cats as the DPS are both trying to flank and end up DPS Mercy taking out 76 and Widow. I ask several times for a barrier tank, as they're rolling us, so at the last checkpoint I just go Orisa and that's it, Payload goes no further, no one else dies.

Just have to suck it up sometimes.

Had the strangest game ever as well, Eichenwalde, our Sombra left mid match, we still took the payload right to the end 5v6. Round 2 was 5v4 after two of their team tilted and lost.

Other than that games have been going okay and people have been nice still. No idea what's going on.

[Gandrake]

Here's a fun thing about Junkrat, if you don't lol right into his face he will find it much more difficult to kill you

here's a fun thing about lulverwatch: 1 year ago

[Speaknoevil]

Obviously it was worth it to me for the racists to lose, so I made sure they did.

He's using deflect as a gap closer and when he's in your face you can't do anything, because then you're already dead.

It is a nerf if it turns out it's more difficult to contribute playing him after the rework.

If Genji wanted to get into your face with his ult, he already can.
His ult resets his dash.

Getting Genji to reflect during his ult is a loss for the Genji.
Sure, he can reflect for a second and dash, but dashing cancels his reflect anyway.

oh god hanzo will actually have to aim now and can't one shot people by aiming at the ground, IS SUCH NERF LELELELELELE

no, you know what is going to happen? unless they are straight up giving him Zen's right click, Hanzo is going to get to turn his bow into a shotgun for 3 seconds and bascially if you can't kill Genji as Reaper (which is pretty easy btw) you won't be able to kill him as Hanzo. he is also going to become a tank buster hero because of this. tanks are going to be like LUL WTF BLIZZ WE SAID NERF SCATTER WHY THE FUCK IS HANZO DOING 300 DPS ON ME FOR 3 SECONDS?

[Freighter]

Well, that was a fun game. Think this is the first time I've told someone that they're retarded in-game for a long time. We get caught 5 people in zaryas ult, it's only zarya and genji there and we're in no danger of dying. So I thought. Our Junkrat starts spamming into genjis deflect and kills us all. 2 minutes later it happened again, I just went AFK for the rest of the game. No point playing when you have such griefers on the team.

[Gandrake]

i don't even feel bad about throwing these games

it's amazing that even being born is is like winning the lottery 10 times. i wish these peoples dads would have wrapped it put and thrown em in the trash where they belong.
