It also helps Mei is such a beast in CTF. The wall is so op. Combine it with her ult to grab and sneak out with the flag.

Figured I would post this here, since I know RP is into collecting action figures. Just ordered the Figma Tracer figure. Figma is a premium action figure brand like SH Figuarts, Sideshow, and Hot Toys.

Was hoping they would release a figure for every hero, so I could display that classic shot of the whole roster above my TV. but with the gaps between each release, I don't see it happening. They're at least making some of my favorite characters tho.

Sombra is really good right now. Almost certainly gonna be scaled back. Took her thru FFA (nice harsh environment) and placed top 4 a good deal. Gonna make her main next season with an overall emphasis on attack characters.

Did the PTR changes go through today?

nm yeah they did.

If Sombra becomes a beast, and people start picking her a lot, we could be seeing more widow makers in the mix.

ya those are kickass. I wish there was a Reaper and Reinhardt

They'll definitely make Reaper. Edgelord McHot Topics make up a big portion of the demographic.

Rein though, I dunno. If they make one "big" character, it will probably be D Va. Pretty sure she's the most popular tank. Either way, it'll probably cost a minimum of $120.

Looks like there is a new Hero named Bridgette. She's a tank. Or shield.

Officially, she's support, but shes kind of a tank/healer hyprid. Not particularly interested in her myself.

I feel like the lore of Brigitte is that she's Torbs daughter and Reinhardt started fucking Torbs daughter.

You know theres probably already brigitte porn out there. Hardest working guys in the business, those overwatch hentai artists.

This kind of confirms that every major archetype has been done and we're gonna see more cross breeds than originals like Doomfist.

Don't mind. I like Rein-Girl.

I just went 7-3 in placements and still got put in Bronze... this game is broke.

Aw fuck my placements!

Why are they even still using the placement system? Its so pointless.

Holy shit all of a sudden tonight my Zarya play went from total ass to consist gold marks in comp. Figgy and I were on a roll...our graviton/emp combo literally ended games.

Sombra, Reaper, and Symmetra are gonna be my go-tos this season. Always tried to fill in what the team needs, but this season I'm playing selfish and instalocking my best characters.
40-55 enemies hacked per match with Sombra on escort, constantly getting multiple golds with reaper on control, and consistently stopping the enemy team at point A of assault with symmetra. I'm not sleeping on my mains anymore to be a fill in. Goin for platinum.

Ya, fuck the team. Play what youbare best at if you want to rank up. I never even touched a hero that wasn't Mei, Mercy, Torn, or Sym for the 3 seasons I hit diamond.

ya that sombra shit is out of control. And frankly, i'm ready for Junkrats ult to be nerfed too. I've seen games completely change because of his ult alone. And i'm talking shitter junkrats.

Also i dont play any Genji ( yet ) but i got his lunar skin last night. Also got Widow's lunar skin. Pretty psyched about that.

She honestly doesn't play any different than she used to. The buffs, particularly the new effects on certain characters simply make her more viable now.. as beforehand the other offense characters were generally better picks for a lot of situations.

Some people are saying she's over powered, but that's just the usual overwatch talk that comes after a character buff. People typically don't give themselves time to adapt and just go straight to shouting "OP!".

She's still the weakest in terms of delivering straight DPS. The other Offense characters are all better in that regard. She still needs to rely on her teammates taking advantage of her hacks, unless you're on the high ground and can just fire downwards and wait to hack your next tatrget, you're probably gonna have to get out of there as soon as you hack.

Genji is a lot of fun when you get good at him. Should run with him for a bit.

I'd say the reduction of Sombra's bullet spread alone will make her an annoying bitch. With a good Rein or Orisa she can do damage (Sombra requires a big anchor tank that diverts attention).

Just training her up in deathmatch and quickplay yields better results than I've had with her in months.

Maybe its the more Sombra play i'm seeing as Reinhardt. I've just noticed i've had my shield hacked more than any time i've ever played since Sombra was buffed.

Also, off topic, a sick Tracer is fucking beast.

Oh well yeah, if you're a reinhardt you're going to get hacked a lot. I always prioritize hacking tanks, as without their abilities they're bsically just big walking targets, but Rein in particular is an effective hack, as taking that sheild away can ruin the dynamic of the teams comp.

Yeah, if a group doesn't have very good teamwork, a good tracer can single handedly shred them, and and win the match for her team.

When I nosedived into mid silver, I pulled myself back up to gold mainly by picking tracer and going on a tear against all the bad teams at that level.

I don't think the ult itself needs to be adjusted. Yeah it does a lot of damage and can get multikills, but you can hear it coming a mile away, so if a team doesnt spread out, thats on them. However with all his recent buffs I think it would be fair to increase the time it takes to build to it, as its one of the fastest charging ults in the game.

I'm 9-5 to start the season. I'm fucking pissed I got put back into Bronze when I went 7-3. I'm more determined than ever to break out of Bronze this season. I wanted to play something different like Tracer or Genjii. Even thought about going full Hanzo ( you never go full Hanzo ). But i gotta stick with my bread and butter, Reinhardt if i'm gonna get out. 66-51 as Reinhardt all time in competitive seasons.

Dunno man. Sombra is gonna be a pretty popular pick this season, and she just outright counters rein. Doomfist also got a buff, and he's another character that can throw off the reinhardt team comp.

If you really want to climb out, you might want to keep playing reaper, or like you said, learn Genji. He's always a viable pick.

Just lost a comp match. Gold elims with Sombra. Really coordinated hacks and EMPs with group battles and still...

Brigitte's combo of Shield Bash-Flail-whip, kills tracer and genji outright. Probably a few others as well.

Her buffs make her more viable, but she's still a niche character that depends on her team to take advantage of the opportunities she creates. That's why the talk of her being OP is nonsense. She's not single handedly carrying games the way Tracer and Reaper can.

Had a winning streak with a decent group. Made a few adjustsments to how I play Sombra to account for the comp, they're not adjusting for me.

Getting good elim counts and assists.

I call this ' Putting My Eggs In One Basket '

Getting closer to diamond in CTF. Seems like less people play defensive heroes in platinum and diamond.

I was going to make a post about how i'm the best Reinhardt ever, but i've lost 3 in a row. I was 21/10/1 and now i'm 21/13/1 with 62% win percentage. I guess that win rate was not sustainable .

I'm not mad though. Just taking a 10 minute break to let the cycle of retards cycle through and maybe get a match where i'm not carrying.
