WoodrowSkillson posted:agreed, however that's still not a good reason to allow multiple instances of a character in a game with 21 of them. Maybe for you, but I've also had fun games where we stack, like the last game of Nepal I played with 5 Roadhogs and a Lucio. Just because you don't like to play that way doesn't mean it's the most fun for everyone. The game wasn't designed to restrict it to one hero per team. It's been that way from the beginning and if that's causing you to not have fun with it, that's 100% on you.

Efexeye posted:It seems like it has a range of 'the map' Actually, the Mercy ult used to be MUCH worse. It used to have a range of 40 meters and I'm pretty sure she didn't need LoS for the res. Now it's 15 meters, she still doesn't needs LoS, and she can shift charge to dead players to get into position.

Star posted:I think my favorite part is when Reinhardts don't know that Winston's gun penetrates their shield. I don't know how many people I've seen who just stand there, holding their shield, thinking they're safe. It's the same thing with Sym's R-Click. They just stupidly watch this slow orb move toward them and then don't understand how it kills the Bastion behind the shield. Things like that will get less and less effective as people get more and more familiar with the game.

He soaks a ton of HP and is very durable but he also builds enemy ults like woah What the hell does this even mean? Since when does damage taken build ult? I don't remember that ever being the case.

Lady Naga posted:DOTA prize money is deceptively high since the prize pools have to be split between the players, management, coaches, etc. Not to mention taxes and the fact that these players aren't salaried means that prize money is their only income. I'm not 100% sure it's the same for other esports but I'm almost certain League is the only franchised esport at the time. If you're talking specifically about PPD, Universe, Aui, Sumail and Fear, that money is what they earned individually. The last TI's 1st prize payout was $6.6 Million, and even with splitting 5 ways that's still ~$1.3 million before taxes and whatnot. There's nothing deceptively high about that. It's just high.

Broseph Brostar posted:Funny how they adjusted Widowmaker is a few different ways but it's barely going to affect the meta that most people will see. The only counter to a good Widow is still another better Widow, and Winston and D.Va are still going to be shredded when attempting to stop those good Widows. How about we see how the changes actually affect the meta before you get to the whole "sky is falling" doomsaying again?

Mister Fister posted:Dumb question, but does Zarya's weapon still charge if you put a bubble shield on Reinhart and he has his shield up and absorbing damage? Zarya's shield has to be actually absorbing the damage to translate into charge for Zarya. If Reinhardt has HIS shield up, that's what is absorbing the damage, not Zarya's shield.

Broseph Brostar posted:Yeah but nailing all 6 shots to kill a Reaper is a lot of rng going right unless you're within kissing distance. Even with flashbang you have to hope your victim is bad enough to not use their 'oh poo poo' ability between the end of the stun and your last two shots. Do you people who say "remove fan the hammer" or "delete widowmaker" actually think that they're going to REMOVE abilities and entire heroes from the game after release? I always thought it was just impotent rage translating into white noise shitposting, but I guess some of you actually think that something like that would really happen in the real world.

Redundant posted:I think you can. The bubble extends past the shield a bit and I am sure I have gotten charge from it before. Its not ideal though either way. See, I was always told that you don't actually have to shoot the little edge that sticks beyond Reinhardt's shield because the bubble is just a visual indicator that "this person has Zarya's shield" and as long as you're hitting Rein (his model or his shield) while he's bubbled, Zarya will get charge. Edmond Dantes posted:Nope, bubbling a shielding Rein does not build charge. And this is saying she doesn't at all. I can't say I've really ever paid attention because I'm trash with Zarya, so I don't really know for sure what's correct.

That terrible sensitivity is probably a big reason why you're not higher. Try for 10-12 inches for much better aiming. Also, use your arm to move your mouse, not your wrist. Lift your lazy arm off the desk and sit up with good posture.

Hook 2.0 terrible, but 2.1 is actually a little better; it's just going to take some getting used to. Also, with the new hook/D.va nerfs, Roadhog can de-mech a full D.va with a single hook combo.
