    Got a deadeye quad kill awhile back. It was on Volskya. Did it by sneaking around and coming in from behind on point b. One person on the enemy team was really confused/angry until the potg showed my taking them out. The road hog saw me but by then it was too late :)

    One time I flashbanged someone out of the air with McCree. They landed behind me and killed me.

    Gotta love that Void Ray. I also love that if you've hit max damage with it, it'll retain the charge between successive targets for a bit.

    For sniping

    Ana is for sniping into crowds. Both of allies and of enemies.

    Ideally both at the same time.

    I actually think it's so she always has allies in her sights

    I got on a high ledge and suddenly realized I hadn't healed anyone in a little bit because I was too busy looking where the enemies were. I really wish there were an option to always see ally health bars on the side of the screen

    I would love cross over theme skins from blizzards other franchises

    I couldn't care less about Warcraft at this point but I would love to see some StarCraft skins, and stuff from their less well-known IP

    Kyle Blackthorne Reaper being the oft-repeated example

    also a D3 Barbarian Reinhardt makes sense

    oh also Nova Widowmaker

    If they don't make a Blackthorn double shotgun Reaper skin for this game, I quit forever.

    I'd love a Kerrigan/Nova widowmaker skin or Tassadar Zenny, but I don't think they're gonna go down the whole crossover rout.

    Good games earlier. Dunno if you have a mic, but I had mine unplugged anyway. Had to go, but I'd play again sometime. We can join party chat then.

    and I wonder about my neighbors even though I don't have them

    Just had this game on Hanamura, on our defense I was playing roadhog and this poor 76 would pop his head in the gateway and just about every time get hooked and deleted. I think I had 100% hook accuracy against him. I almost felt bad.

    Also yes, D.Va Goliath or Immortal skin.

    Dumb Thought

    I want a skin for D.va where her mech form is like a giant Zero Suit D.va, and when that explodes, her run around zero suit, is instead a little tiny mech

    Started a game, which was going to be attack on Hanamura, and my gut feeling that things weren't going to go well when 2 of my team mates immediately picked Genji.

    Then, 2 of my other team mates picked Tracer

    Surprisingly
    We lost horribly

    I think Hanamura is my least favourite level. The initial assault on A seems like total feast or famine. What characters would people recommend for each side?

    My brother and I like running a Mei/Roadhog combo on defense.

    Can hook people inside the gate and ice wall them away from teammates.

    I use Lucio most of the time anyway, but he's good for both sides. On defense you can boop people off the point, and it's pretty easy to keep people in line of sight for healing.

    On offense obviously still the healing, but you can also speed boost to the point, past any turrets. This usually forces the defending team to scramble to the point.

    Edit: That's for attacking A.

    Best trick I've ever seen on Hanamura A (and also on Anubis A, actually) was to have a Mei drop an ice wall at a slight angle just inside the choke point doors, giving the rest of the team a covered path into the doorway to the right (left on Anubis). The whole team piled through, around and along the top, and then rushed the point from the side, avoiding the Torb & Bastion killbox that had been set up over the courtyard

    I often play Zarya on Hanamura defense. The gates provide great cover to pop in and out, bubbling to get power and ducking away to let shields recharge. The constant right clicks are enough to keep people from rushing straight in. My favorite tank partner is probably Roadhog due to ease of bubbling. And everyone just has to shoot at him for what they think is free ult but is actually just free energy for me.

    I'll always have a soft spot for Dva, I play on Xbox one now mostly (my friends are all there), and I got my 20 player killer streak achievement with her. With a good team and the right circumstances, the ability to harass and annoy and then get away and come back later is just fantastic. Now that they've fixed the shield to make it a viable part of your overall approach to both getting into and out of combat I'm going to probably play as her more

    I like D.va for attack. Pair her with a Tracer or Reaper then both of you go through the left window and around the side path. Grab the health pack them push the point to force defenders to leave the gate allowing the rest of your team to push through.

    I've had decent success with that tactic.

    Got a potg as Symmetra this morning just as Ana put me to sleep. Turrets took out two and I woke up and beamed her into oblivion.

    I love playing Symmetra, so Hanamura is my jam (at least on defense). Offense, I'll usually go Pharah, because I know where the good sentry turret places are and I can skate around the huge cockblock gates pretty well.

    Anubis is still barely playable for me on offense. Starting to like Gibraltar less and less over time either to defend or assault.

    Yes, if they have a Symmetra, never ever go right. Torb turrets will usually be either on the roof to the left or in the actual Obj A, usually facing backwards to catch people coming around the sides.

    Blizzard have been relatively poor when it comes to keeping console players up to date. I understand that patches take longer, but the Torbjorn turret changes were mentioned 3 week ago.

    The McCree and Widowmaker nerf (I'm surprised they were exactly the same on consoles) I think we had to wait 2 weeks; it wasn't until competitive was released on consoles that their changes happened.

    Ultimately, nobody knows and your guess is as good as mine. It couldn't happen this weekend, it could happen 2-3 weeks from know.

    given that this patch glitched a whole bunch of things, they probably need to fix that first

    I'm surprised they didn't have the console version arranged in such a way where they can make balance changes without pushing a patch

    I have it on PS4 after getting used to the beta on PC

    It's a perfectly good version of this game! The biggest difference is that there are less Widowmakers, but since she, like every sniper in all games, is the opposite of fun, that's really a net gain!

    So I just got two POTGs in 3 games

    one of them with Bastion, the other one with Torbjorn

    the Bastion one I did only two kills with his ult but it was overtime and it cleared the point so fair enough

    the Torbjorn one I was way up high on Hollywood, popped my ult and shot down and killed Reinhardt... and that's it

    I guess the game decided that was a clutch kill for some reason?

    I told my group HEY GUYS REMEMBER WHEN I SHOT? and got some good laughs from it at least.
