Hey, just bought Overwatch like 3 days ago for black Friday sale. Added some people from the OP. Here's my battletag: Saru786#1850

There are a lot of bugs in the ptr. There are no voice lines related to shield generator. Characters in game will say enemy has teleporter when shield gen is in use. And say teleporter found when you find shield gen. Sometimes hud for ult in the circle goes black for symetra so you got to hope you selected the right ult by luck. Because of these bugs and how I don't think the kit fits her I don't want her out next tuesday. I hope they give it more time. Especially since there is a bug in PTR where sombra can hack Rienhart's shield while standing in front of it. In normal mode you got to get behind him and thats the way it should be

I still want the changes I said in post #694. Even if that makes her more specialized and niche I still think that would be better than a kit that don't fit.

I want Doomfist and I want him to have photon barrier as E. Punch as left click. Punch projectile as right click. Ult that does heavy damage (See trailer where winston and tracer fight window and reaper). And shift be similar to lucio's cross fade but choices are "people close to you take less damage" OR "You deal more damage". Will you use it to be a savior or a scourge?

Not a bug. It's an intended buff.

[PokerFace]

Some people were speculating that. Did bliz come out and say that? If that becomes a feature than RIP Reinhardt in the meta. Hacking through barriers would be an op buff for sombra

[Marquis]

you'd be looking right at her

literally just hit her and it stops

it's still more efficient to hack from behind anyway

[PokerFace]

Hacking has range. Unless fire strike is charged, Sombra can hack you while being in front of you and outside melee range. You can hack people before they get charge off

You can also hack Winston from outside tesla range. And hack Symetra from outside new left click range. But still can't hack symetras turrets while you can hack torbs

Hacking is a wonky ability and they should test it more too. They released the sombra patch before they should have, because they wanted money and did not care how it would change end of season 2 meta. If they release new sombra and symetra changes this tuesday I'll be upset. I thought Bliz was better about bugs getting to public than Valve.

[Marquis]

i mean there's not much point in shielding unless you have ppl behind taking advantage of it to do damage

that's the point of the shield anyway. otherwise you're just eroding its hp

[Clumsy]

Has anyone done their placement matches yet? Did you get a rating higher, lower, or about the same as your ending rating last season?

i get so tilted when I try to kill a mercy and can't do it.

[PokerFace]

In season 2 your rank was better more damage you dealt. Playing tank or support actually hurt your rank and most people played dps heros

In season 3 your placement rank will be worse if you main dps, about the same if you are a tank main, and slightly better if you play supports

This is what I have been told from friends, have not done placements myself yet

[PokerFace]

Changes I want to see

Make Mei's ult is los of snowball (her robot). This way it will not go through walls or get things that are above the robot

Junkrats tire is 150 hp. It currently can easily be 1 shot. You can see your hp and tire's hp at same time

Balance Road Hog's hook. Should not go through walls Will make triple tank less op

Zen's discord does 40% instead of 30%. Will make triple tank less op

Mercy gets a second dash ability that has a cool down and let's you move a short distance. Her right click does 40% instead of 30%

Sombra can't hack rien when in front of him. She hacks health pack for only 30 seconds, gone is burst fire instead of rapid which will ultimately give her more concentrated damage. Ult no longer requires los it can go through walls now but still has same radius as before

Symetra change to be this http://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.ph ... 3#p8541503
Make her a defense character and give us a new support with actual heals

And make us new tank like:

I want Doomfist and I want him to have photon barrier as E. Punch as left click. Punch projectile as right click. Ult that does heavy damage (See trailer where winston and tracer fight window and reaper). And shift be similar to lucio's cross fade but choices are "people close to you take less damage" OR "You deal more damage". Will you use it to be a savior or a scourge?

[PokerFace]

I stole this idea from another website. Not an original idea

New support character named 'Rescue'. Its a dog that can go pickup health packs and bring them to teamates.

Shift stores health pack from pickup area

E drops a health pack

Passively you gain speed overtime, you are a dog

Right click points out an enemy to your team, you are a dog so pointing things out make sense. That enemy shows through walls now. lasts only for short time, can only be used on 1 enemy at a time

Left click is a shooting ability of some kind, gun attached to your back, much like dva's mech left click it does not require reloading. (how would you reload? you are a dog)

Ult point out all enemy's in los with radius similar to sombra's ult. All those enemies show through walls for a short time and take 40% damage.
(Mercy's right click is boosting and Anas ult is a boost. Zen's discord nerfs enemies so its about time we get an ult that nerfs enemies)

Sure, I'll play Marquis.

Been playing a lot more with new symetra. 75% of time shield generator is a better idea than a teleporter

In no limits she is overpowered. 6 symetras can beat 6 winstons since shield generators stack. (6*75)+200 means you have 6 symetras with 650 hp each

When you play as her to defend point A, she feels overpowered. Teleporter still useful here. Elsewhere its not.

When you play as her to defend last point, it depends on if you can put shield gen in spawn and or if their is another viable placement. Some spawns let you place the shield generator in them and some don't. I honestly think none should allow it since its indestructible there. If there is a good place to put the generator outside spawn, she feels balanced. Otherwise she is under powered, you would be better off picking someone else. The same can be said about her on koth though its usually easier to find a good hiding spot there since you can put it on your half of the map to cover the point

On offense she feels under powered. She can stop a Bastion behind Rienhart. She is good at that as she can block and attack them, but that's it. She is not good at blocking for entire team. In the end she is better at what she was already good at and Koth. Not good enough on offense.

As photon barrier is still better suited for a tank and you can't move shield generator or get a new one with the current one out, I still want http://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.ph ... 3#p8541503. As long as she has short ranged turrets, she should really be a defense character.
