Zenyatta legit does not need a buff, he's been one of the dominant supports for a good chunk of the game's lifecycle, only really seeing little play during the dominance of Beyblade/Triple Tank, and when he died to a stiff breeze.

How about the other healers? As much as I'd love for Zen to be more powerful, he's probably the best off of the non-Mercy healers at the moment. How about Ana and Lucio? Also yeah, at least some characters seriously need some anti-barrier abilities. Since Fan the Hammer is garbage in high-end play, maybe make it deal extra damage to barriers to encourage its use in all skill ranges? Maybe make Doomfist's crappy little shotgun M1 damage barriers more?

I just play FFA and sometimes TDM. I enjoy those modes more than the 6v6. I usually just log in to win the 9 matches needed for the 3 loot crates. This last stand mode with leaderboards for Halloween is fun too. I wish it something they had year round.

Resurrect is never going away, your best bet is to make sure using it doesn't constantly make an active fight a 7v6, but rather a recovery mechanism if the Mercy's team wins the fight. Making it wasteful and dangerous to poorly resurrect should be the goal. Another potential option is E in standard mode force respawns someone (in the spawn room obv) while it actually resurrects directly on the battlefield in Valkyrie.

Change Resurrect from a cooldown to charge-based, except you spawn with 0 and you only gain charges by landing killing blows.

That's insanely overkill on anything that isn't a tank. E: for the record: Freezing takes 1.5 seconds, during which the stream is going to deal 67 damage. From there, a 150 damage headshot kills every single hero at 200 health or less. You can extend that kill range to all 250 hp heroes by just holding m1 for an extra second before firing. Melee afterwards if you aren't confident about your timing. The only characters capable of surviving this at full health are tanks and bastion. Probably torb too because that rear end in a top hat basically always has armor up on himself.

I'm sure Meis who do this mean well but it's very annoying when I'm about to kill someone and our Mei helpfully throws up an icewall between myself and them. A lot of Meis I've played with have saved enemies this way, treating their icewall like a Rein/Orisa shield; something to be placed just ahead of our team. Use it to gently caress up positioning of an enemy group charging in on you, to separate enemies, or shut down an ult. Also, don't throw up an icewall to try to halt the payload's progress, it'll just bust through that poo poo like it's not there. Black Pants fucked around with this message at 11:18 on Oct 12, 2017 |

Doesn't come in handy all the time, but it's a good thing to know. I swear this is the only way I've been able to kill some Mercy players lately. Long live Mei's Flash Freeze!

You can use Ice Wall to boost yourself and teammates up to some interesting spots, too. Ice wall can go left/right or front/back (useful for cutting off side passage escape routes)

Ice Wall is my favorite skill in the game because there are oodles of uses for it. Lately my favorite use of the wall is dropping it under you in a fight. Most enemies think the wall appeared to separate you from them. But surprise! You're on top of it. So freeze them and put an icecicle in their head. Just be careful if the other team has a hit scan in the area too because you will become an easy target for them. Mei is the best hero and I wish there was a medal for "helpful chaos" because Mei would win it every game (if the player isn't an idiot).

dogstile posted:I've spotted quite a few that I don't have, so it's weird. Ah well Are the dupes you're getting seasonal or rare? When you open a loot box it checks how many will be seasonal (with one guaranteed) and then checks rarity, giving a non dupe within that rarity if possible. So you'll be getting rare dupes early on since there's only like 300 rare items in the game, followed by commons of which there's probably 1000 or more I actually think they biased the odds of getting a seasonal item with this event. Completely ancedotal but I've had multiple 4x seasonal items already this event, whereas i think i had one summer games loot box with more than 2 event items.

The Blue Caboose posted:In general your personal stats are not typically super descriptive. There are too many confounding factors to really get a really good picture of your actual overall performance, and its all but guaranteed that your sample size is much too small to make effective predictions. Some stats stabilize pretty quickly, but most of the stats that Blizzard surfaces are not particularly good predictors of performance. Makes sense. I guess I just need to play more comp, but it can get really frustrating as a support player in the ~2500s.

Ice wall is super handy for quite a few uses. I like using it as a movement skill a lot, you can boost yourself and, with some coordination, other people up to odd places to attack from. If you cancel it by pressing e again then it starts the cooldown sooner. You can also change which direction it is pointing. Use it to block a door from the side for example. One neat thing to do is to use it to block the escape of a retreating Reaper, or anyone else for that matter. Reaper's wraith form will end before he can get away and it's an easy kill. If you're lucky, you can block off an entire team's retreat and then ult. One way to really piss off a Roadhog is to use the freeze ray on him, pop off one headshot and then freeze him again. It seems like it's a short time to refreeze again if you start doing it before they fully thaw. I've solo'd Roadhogs as Mei this way. Mind the hook though. You can halt a cart or a point cap and then when your health is low go into the ice block. Not only do you block the cap still, but you regen health. Hopefully some of your team are around to distract because if you have all the attention you will soon die after coming out. That can be immediate if there are a lot of enemies. If Tracer sticks you with her pulse bomb, ice block and it won't hurt you. If she throws it on the ground, ice block on that and I think that will block the damage to teammates too. Ice wall can be handy to block several ults, like Dva's or things like Reinhardt's charge ability. Just be careful not to shield the enemy team from your team's attacks. The absolute worse thing is to block your own team's ults, or to trap one of your teammates with the enemy team. As someone else said, use it to split up the enemy team and give yourself a numbers advantage.
