God drat it. I spoke too soon. Let me think about it.

Edit. I've damage boosted D.Va during her ult and it played the damage chime and I got eliminations... I'm not sure if it increases the damage though. And I've never been in position to boost Tracer's ult so I don't know.

I'm going to stop posting like I know what I'm talking about. You're calling my bluffs!

I think I got assist credits for a Junkrat tyre but could be mistaken... Don't know if it actually boosted the damage or not, I mean it's pretty much a guaranteed kill within it's radius anyway.


I got the El Blanco skin for Reaper but after playing him a couple of times he just doesn't click for me :(. Why couldn't I get a nice Junkrat or Mei skin instead.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

I know it was pages back but dva can headshot roadhog to death at point blank if she can aim but it doesn't matter just right click her.

Yes its harder to hit people with his bow, but that's because he isn't supposed to have parity with Widow's ability to snipe. Her kit is completely focused on her ability to click heads at range while Hanzo is a sniper that can also deal significant damage at close range.

But he's not better at close range than her. If anything its easy to spray the rifle into people jumping around you than to bow them. I know he has the E but that is also better on people farther away. Also you can still scope people up close if you know they're coming, and you probably do with wall hacks.

I played the beta, and my win rate was fairly 50/50 in that. Is someone else seeing something similar?
I was owning people pretty well in the beta. Not exactly so now.

Probably because ranked play isn't included, so there's no separate scrub league to boost our egos.

Plus a lot of the bads from open beta didn't buy the game because they were bad, meaning the average level of skills is higher, leading to you usually being paired with and against better players.

I think the only legitimate case of cheating ever really documented is during a match, I think a comp one, where the Widowmaker was mysteriously moving away from dead cert targets to lock onto those that are being resurrected and thus immune to damage.

e: If TF2 is anything to go by, you can bet a good portion of competetive players are cheating like motherfuckers, they're just smart enough to hide it (most of the time)

A loving huge proportion of competitive players got their accounts banned and their items tradelocked (effectively rendering them worthless) for using LMAObox. Turns out a huge proportion of competitive snipers are cheaters - who would have thought?

I think all of the legendary skins change some aspect of the character's voice/or their sounds at least. I know Symmetra's Call Center one changes up one of her voice lines.

Mercy's devil one adds "For a price" to the end of her ultimate. Not sure if it adds it to the enemy voice one, though.

There are few things more satisfying than dropping a Reinhardt with Mercy's or D.VAs pistols. Doubly so if the finishing blow is a melee.

But nothing will surpass nailing a Widow in the face with an icicle. You got outsniped, bitch!

My favorite is when I'm breaking a Reinhardt barrier with Bastion so he charges me and I just kill him before he touches me.

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


None of the legendary skins are really appealing to me except scrapper D.Va and golden knight Reinhardt, neither of which I play too often. Some of the skins I like the most are just the simple recolors like purple Mercy.

The thing that infuriates me most about this game are Hanzo arrows. I love getting hit by arrows before the firing animation finishes, and i love getting hit in the head by arrows that didn't actually hit my head. I swear to god there's inherent aim assist on them. No I'm not playing on console.

I don't know if this is controversial or anything but I think Bastion is the only garbage hero in the game. Not garbage in super unbalanced, just fun killing and boring. All the other ones are super interesting and offer something unique even if they obviously borrow from something else in the genre,, which is pretty remarkable for a FPS game made in tyool 2016.

Also yeah animations are weird. I play a lot of roadhog but I always get killed when I'm against one because his animations don't telegraph the same to the enemies as to the player.

I wouldn't be surprised if they literally copied and pasted the hitboxes for the Huntmans onto Hanzo's arrows

No lag. My latency is consistently under 20 ms everytime I play. Don't get wrong, I love the game, but Hanzo is just so rage-inducing for me.

Nah, the hitboxes are stupidly broken for the arrows. It's literally the Huntsman all over again.

Fixing them will actually reward everyone, even Hanzo, because right now Hanzo is a loving bullshit character that requires you land an arrow vaguely at someone's head for them to die, and as people know this, it's seen as a bullshit kill. Nobody is happy. Not the person who got killed, not even the person who did the killing since it's a hollow victory.

Fixing the hitboxes would mean when a Hanzo genuinely lands an impressive headshot it will been as actually impressive and not just you clipping a hitbox in just the right way.
