    It's a pretty big nerf to Genji and Lucio, in particular. They both have such long cast times.

    So genji can get fucked, the fact that he can be shut down is the only reason his ult is balanced, but I hope you're wrong about Lucio. If you pop ult and never land you should get it refunded. (Or it should just not count as spent until you land)

    Agreed. The number of times I have balled out to shut down an ulting Genji and then do it again when he gets back to the fight only to have him finally pull off a teamwipe the third time he comes back is infuriating. If I channel my inner GM and shut him down, he shouldn't get another chance.

    I saw a video comparing live and PTR and Lucio loses his ult charge the moment he jumps into the air, not when he lands.

    Edit: Here it is.

    Maybe they could scale and/or add to Lucio's provided shielding the further you drop?

    Apparently fired ults get destroyed if you die, which I don't agree with.

    For example if Mei ults, and tosses out blizzard, and it leaves her hand, but she dies before the freezing starts, the whole thing vanishes. Same with Graviton. I think once the ult has left the hero, it should go off no matter what.

    Yeah, wait, what does this mean for Hanzo

    If he dies after he fires the dragons do the dragons just vanish instantly?

    If Rein dies after he drops the hammer, does everyone just stand back up immediately?

    Like I don't see how that's any different

    No.

    In Hanzo's case, if he starts to yell and pulls back the string, but is killed, the ult doesn't fire. If the arrow flies out and the dragons / wolves appear, it will remain even if he dies.

    In Rein's case, if he lifts the hammer up and dies, the ult is spent. If he swings the hammer down and the cone effect appears and he dies, everyone is still knocked down.

    In Lucio's case, he jumps in the air and slams down, which actually triggers his ult. If he dies in the air, his ult is spent. If he dies after hitting the ground and everyone has the extra health, his ult will remain in effect.

    Pro-tip for death match:

    If there's a group of people fighting, and Junkrat joins in, FOCUS FIRE JUNKRAT IMMEDIATELY. I've seen people ignore him and he just gets free multikills. It's the #1 thing Junkrat players bet on to win.

    This is going to make Mei a lot more painful (at least for me). If we're pressed for time I'll jump into the enemy pile with the ult to try and set something up for my team, and if the ice cube is on CD I'm almost certainly dead.

    Mercy's Rez can be really annoying now. Had a team trying to cheese it with a Bastion. I manage to kill them, and she Rezs him. I kill him again, immediately, and she ults and Rezs him right away. For fucks sake just die. I'd shoot the mercy first but good luck doing that while standing right next to Bastion.

  • SirToastySirToasty Registered User regular
    I don't like new Mercy's combination of mobility, increased health regen, decreased Guardian Angel cooldown, and 20 second ult time. I feel like I have no chance to kill her even if conditions are perfect.

  • DragkoniasDragkonias That Guy Who Does Stuff You Know, There. Registered User regular
    I think they'll probably end up reducing her ult time. 20 seconds is too long, I'd be cool with 12.

    she's really vulnerable to spike damage

    widowmaker is still a good counter to her, s76 and McCree's ults counter valkyrie really well and you don't even need them if you're a good shot, roadhog landing a hook is a big deal, bastion can just burn her down

  • HenroidHenroid Mexican kicked from Immigration Thread Centrism is Racism :3Registered User regular
    A Roadhog in DM Eichenwalde was hooking people on a small 'hidden' ledge, dropping them to a pit. Unfortunately, as Reinhardt, when he did it my feet would temporarily touch the ground and then I'd slip off, and it would count as a suicide. He dropped me from 1st place to 7th doing that shit.

    I'm a decent shot but the guardian angel makes things a huge pain. Literally zipping across the entire point repeatedly. Granted, most I've encountered haven't been savvy enough to do that but there was one in particular that I just couldn't hit reliably. Good call on spoke damage though. Since Hog got nerfed I actually don't play many characters that did big spike damage. I should practice some more.

    I've actually had solid luck with Pharah (even when she's ulting), because a lot of Mercy players telegraph their moves still.

    the best thing about this is no more 40 seconds of 2-3 people noisily spamming selecting and deselecting their character to try to convince everyone to pick the same one

  • XeddicusXeddicus Registered User regular
    I always switched off if that was about to happen, since I normally picked first. No one can tell me what to do, even post-emptively!

    the changes to mystery, with no completely redundant character select screen and suiciding to change no longer working are both so glorious.
