My adventures in ranked since my last post have given me interesting results. I got ranked in middle of those I grouped with during placements. I am still yet to lose a solo queue game. And if you take avg points I have earned from wins in solo and compare it to avg points I have gotten from group wins, the solo wins have a higher avg by quite a bit.

I don't feel my friends are losing me games nor do I feel they make me play bad, but the points I'm getting tell a different story, so the system feels bad

You can stealth past torb turrets but not symetra turrets. It should be both yes or both no. One turret should not beat the other in this situation. I personally think both no is the way to go otherwise the cloak feels weak

symmetra just feels really annoying in the build. I think they went overboard on buffing her range.

The following post will updated multiple times with changes I want to see to this game

-Fix Roadhog's hook (Blizard is getting a PTR change ready)

-Lower Dva health. 100 armor is like 200hp so she is practically 1000hp (PTR now has 400hp 200armor which is practically 800hp)

-Mei's ult should freeze LOS "line of sight" for her robot. Behind walls or flying above the robot as Pharah should not freeze you

-Junkrat should be able to see his health and his tire health at same time. Keep his personal health on the left while his tire health is on the right. Tire is ammo after all

-Mercy boost do 40% not 30% or 50%. Give her a double jump. Maybe give her an AOE "area of effect" heal ability as her E. Second ult where you only res yourself

-Zen's discord do 40% not 30% or 50% get back in meta and weaken tank meta

-Sombra's health pack hack last 30 seconds not 1 minute. Her gun burst fire's instead of rapid fires. Should result in less spread and better damage. Or just buff her damage and keep the spread. Sombra's ult should not require LOS. Its and emp after all

-Symetra change her again pls. They made her too good at what she already did well as apposed to making her truly versatile. She was UP and Niche now she is OP and still Niche. Change her this way
Photon Barrier is a tank ability on a Support Character. I'd rather Symetra right click projectiles were bigger and she had no E. If those projectiles were bigger, you could use it to run behind much like the photon barrier, but as this would be a weapon and not a barrier it would serve as a better way to increase her range without making her deal too much damage. Symetras left click should have stayed the same. Give the real photon barrier to a new tank character

The buffs they added to Sym's turrets stay the same. I like them a lot. But I would allow Sombra to hack Sym's turrets because Sombra currently can't. Sombra can only hack Torb's turrets. Hacking and Emping torb's turrets but not sym's turrets, makes no sense

Symetra still has two ults with the health and shield changes they made for them but with one important change. Shield Gen currently has infinite uses until its destroyed. While Teleporter has 6 uses. How are they equal abilities? They are not, Shield Gen is better 75% of the time. Sending in one player or a team of players at the Shield Gen is the equivalent of suicide at the moment. Don't make that a requirement. Place a timer on it or invent some other mechanic that controls how long the shield generator is usable. No ult should be everlasting. After all Lucio's shield boost ult lasts a very short time

Currently when a point is capped the teleporter or shield generator returns to symetra at full strength regardless of how many times it was used. Have her get 50% charge not 100%. OR have the % she gets be dependent on how many times the tele was used or how long the generator was used of its max.

if you are having your tire destroyed often, you are using it wrong. It should definitely have 100hp, if it had more it would be almost impossible to take down. This is coming from a junkrat main. If it had 150hp, so many things would leave it at very low hp instead of destrying it (junkrat shift being the most promiment example)

I thought junkrats shift did more than that. If it doesn't than i guess keep it 100 or make it 120

I stopped maining junkrat a long time ago. That complaint is from a friend

Also apparently hirer is a word? Spell check should have caught that. It catches teleporter when that actually is a word. Post updated

Junkrat's tire should not be taking any damage at all

Amusing thought just came to me. What if Mercy had two ults?

Ult 1. Resurrect the team as she does now

Ult 2. Resurrect only mercy

You keeping your team alive, but them not keeping you alive? Need someone on the point right now? Would this be fair way of getting her back into the meta? I have not seen her used in tournament streams for a long time so thinking of ways to help her get in there more than what I had in my other recent post

I've seen that suggestion before, it seems very interesting. The only thing I see going wrong with it is if your team isn't protecting you, you'll probably just die within 2 seconds of self resurrect to whatever killed you last time because of how vulnerable Mercy is. Could be helped with a longer invulnerability timer maybe. I would think it would be a fair trade for a solo res on yourself.

I'd love to see changes like this and the wing flap on PTR to actually see how they would pan out.
