I'll always remember Zenyatta discord orbs that went through shields.
I disagree about Sym's primary fire. That shit melts shields and takes no ammo when doing so. If your Zarya primary fire aim is good then you can really wreck shit with Sym (Zarya's damage ceiling is higher though IIRC)
If you survive that long. That only happens when everyone else in your team is either dead (because they got focused before you) or you are dead first.
Wish she gets some temporary shields (or her sheilds get recharged fast) whenever her beam is zapping the enemy shield to give her more survivability during close encounters.
Hasn't been my experience with Sym at all but I only play quick play
Their going to announce a new character that was never a question, each of the past 2 years they've had a character, a map, and a short at Blizzcon.
When it gave you an instant cooldown on a rez and the mobility was far better, sure. Not anymore with the changes to her non-ult healing and the much worse mobility and healing output. Reversing the output back to what used to be her base healing levels for just her ult still makes her current kit ineffective. Valk doesn't give you enough splash or burst healing to turn a tide like a well timed ult should. All it does is give you a slight increase in escapability and mobility to a character who already has a dedicated skill for escapability. It doesn't give you the sustain of a sound barrier or the instant turn in a team fight that is functionally a rez in a nano boost, or the mass sustain healing of a trans.
She flat out is a bad character right now because Blizzard can't make up their minds on how to handle her. She isn't viable in the mid-fight, she isn't viable on 2CP maps without mass verticality, damage boost might as well do nothing.

As a Mercy main this hurts. I'm all for widening the Support meta but this doesn't help anything.

y'all had your time in the sun
like, for a year
That's totally fair. I just wish they would actually figure out what they want to do with her. Nudging the dials on the Ultimate isn't that. Rez is cool (and probably overpowered by its very nature), but she needs to come in for a major reworking as the current incarnation needs a lot more love.
A Mercy buff, not a nerf?
heh, color me surprised Blizz.
Although Boooo at no new map announcement.

Once Blizzcon ends the team that produces it jumps right to running the next year. It's a full time gig.
The whole thing is too big to fail, and ends up warping things like HOTS's tournaments, where the mid-season tournament is viewed as more prestigious (in terms of skill) because it has a far fairer format than the Blizzcon end of year event.
Replace rez with a photon barrier and valk with a shield generator.
It'll still likely come in January, it just won't be on PTR as early as previous maps. Oasis and Blizzard World were on PTR for like 1.5-2 months, It was stupid.
I guess since Busan was recently released a January drop would be ok.
Not every ultimate is used defensively, and 60 hps Valk was still good without her having multiple rezzes. Valkyrie is best used as an offensive ult, and if you use it to try to negate damage from a dragonblade or something, congrats you just wasted your ult. It turns a skirmish into a decisive fight for your allies.
It really feels like she needs some sort of shielding mechanic to aid with either personal or team survival. It's part of Medivh's kit in HOTS, which her new iteration is incredibly reminiscent of.
They wanted to make her an all-rounder who is good for most skill levels but not oppressively so. That means her utility at the highest skill levels will be limited. I think this iteration is gonna be pretty close.
I can't wait to try the new Roadhog on the PTR. I missed Roadhog being a force to be reckoned with, instead of the ult battery that everyone laughs at.
Blizzard Word needed it, you could still fall trough the map two weeks before release
Plus they're literally going to announce a new map shortly after BC.
People, pick your battles. Crying all the time just eventually just sounds like nothing.
This game is in such a weird place right now imo, they just going all in on the league and fuck everyone else.
The replay system for your games is big for the game, A lot of the things they've done for the pro scene has improved the game. The new enhanced Colorblind mode is from the team color changes.
I'm talking about content. This is my beef about free content games, it isn't released at quick enough rate for me.
Well, hopefully that means a hero at least. I'm still holding out hope for an expansion...but I doubt that's ever going to happen.
We are getting a new hero, the new replay system, and seemingly the new destroy the payload mode is soon.
IDK man I have a feeling they gonna ruin balancing with mercy reaper and symm..
Why cant they accept some things simply just dont work.
I feel like now is most balanced overwatch ever been they shouldn't touch it

Excluding story lore cause we all know that it desperately needs that, what would be a good pace for you? I'm trying to think of options.
