I mostly play QP, and if no one else picks a healer I'll usually grab Lucio because he's fun. If anyone complains I just say 'He's not my main, but no one else was healing. Feel free to step up and I'll switch'. The people that complain never will, the decent people just switch themselves without bitching at you. I ended up in a super chill 5 stack last night just through the 'keep team' button. No one bitched about anyone's choices, and when we lost an objective in overtime after completely shutting out the other team for the clock, one guy got on voice just to say 'It's ok, we held them down really well until that one slip, let's regroup and we'll hold them off the second point, I know we have this'. We went around a half-dozen games before people had to leave, it was fun and great to have an almost full team of just nice people.

Have people rezzed with temporary HP that decays over 30s or so. If they don't get a health pack or healing in that time, they'll die again when the HP runs down. So either they have to worry about getting to healing, or Mercy has heal them instead of zipping off immediately.

The only thing I really hate about Symmetra is when she sticks all her turrets around a spawn point in FFA and murders you on arrival. Or you drag yourself out to get casually picked off by someone passing by.

Just play him in FFA then where you can Hanzo to your hearts content and no one can bitch at you and if other people pick him you just get the joy of killing Hanzo as well! Bonus!

The basic Symmetra skin also has combat heels (also true for Mercy and Widowmaker) and I think it's fair to talk about that and if its a good/bad thing. I think you can make legitimate complaints about stuff like that, but I am kind of confused because the complaint here doesn't seem to be 'why is Symmetra wearing crazy heels' as much as 'the proportions on this are wrong'. Which, yea, they are, but this is true for tons of stuff and just across character design in general. Take a look at Reinhardt - canonically he's supposed to be a huge dude who is basically just wearing rad armor, but if you tried to apply a proportion sketch to his character model it would be super hosed up. Lucio's legs are really weird if you try to work out what's going on inside his space pants. Pharah's calves (and ankles in particular) are all out of whack for someone wearing the armor she is apparently has - they are way too skinny. Broadly speaking, Blizzard tends to treat armor and equipment as part of the character's natural profile and not really layered on top, which works fine for characters like Soldier and Genji, but less well for others. And it's not really that they're terrible at proportions as much as they have deliberately chosen this sort of art style where the characters are going to be more stylized toward their roles and less realistically designed and portrayed.

Last night we were playing Hanamura on defense, and our Orisa decided to set up inside the A point with the giant bell, while the Bastion set up outside overlooking the rock in the middle (ie, not in her shield). I was completely baffled because even in QP I have never seen people just blatantly ignore the gate choke, but I was playing Mercy and couldn't herd everyone to reposition before we started. Obviously the attackers just walked right through the gate, murdered Bastion because he wasn't behind any shields, and capped the point easily. In a second game I had another Bastion set up directly outside one of the attacker's side exits, but facing their main gate. I think he was planning on nailing them from the flank as they came out? Only he completely failed to notice that half their team was at that side exit and therefore came out directly behind him. I was trying to get him to move but again, herding cats, and I couldn't get him to pay attention before the game started and he was immediately killed. Sometimes you just can't do anything about it.

I have taken to waiting to pick last on the team, and if someone else picks either healing or tank I'll do the other one. If we get five picks and its all dps, then there's barely any point in me picking one or the other so I'm just going to pick whatever the hell I feel like and the team can faceplant until someone else switches into a useful role. I'd rather lose a match dinking around as a character I like than having to lose while scooting around as Mercy trying to keep five idiot DPS alive. One game we had 5 dps and me vs a 2-2-2 team and boy did that go exactly like you'd expect. At least it was fast.

I forget if I suggested this before, but you could have the Mercy Rez restore people to full health, but with an associated debuff that does a DOT which gets removed if you receive a certain amount of healing - either from a player or from a healthpack. So if Mercy rezzes you and then jets, you have a finite time before the DOT will kill you again, and so either someone has to stick around to heal you some amount, or you have to get to a health pack yourself. I think that's reasonable because it still lets Mercy basically dive for a rez knowing that she's going to get killed, but is ok with that trade if its a key moment - ie, tank on the point, bringing back someone with their ult up, etc.

pzy posted:There is nothing more satisfying than arcing a conc mine in the air and killing a flying Pharah. I was playing on Eichenwalde as Pharah and when I heard a Junkrat ult I took off thinking I would be safe. But he steered the tire up to the top of the castle and then up the wall so it launched right up to me for a perfect kill. It was such a smooth play that I didn't even feel mad, sometimes you get murdered and can't help but appreciate how well it was done.

It's me, I am the bad Moira who gets tunnel vision on tossing orbs and leeching life and lets the tank die. I got called out on it in game last night and tried to correct my behavior. It's just really hard not to sling orbs at reds.  I think that Mercy is my best healer just because I can't really get distracted from doing that too much.

The worst is when you get a gold for objective time and it's only for 12 seconds or something. Or when you have real healers and Soldier gets the gold for it. Then you know people are just a loving mess.

I assume that your QP rank and your Comp rank are kept separate though? It would make sense for people who play seriously in comp but want to be able to QP drunk or with characters they never normally use to not be matched against people at their comp ranking.

Scatter arrow is an ok concept, but it's such a garbage implementation. They way that you might use it, to shoot blind, never seems to work properly and I have been standing in a room dozens of times while Hanzos arrows bounce around and fail to hit me. But then you bounce it off the floor to kill someone right in front of you. They should set it so that the arrows don't start doing damage until X feet after the first bounce, but only if they also do something about the first part of that problem.
