Ana + Reinhardt is FUCKING TERRIFYING OH MY GOD

Did a Numbani match with three Anas and three Reinhardts. We wrecked shit.

Amraphenson · « **Reply #211 on:** July 20, 2016, 09:02:03 PM »

took myself from 52 to 5661 over the course of the past few days using Ana solo-instalocks. She's amazingly fun and supports in a way I'm lot more comfortable with, and with Android Krillin meta going on I always have someone else to heal with. I think she's probably one of the strongest supports to go into solo queue because her kit is very independent: you can apply damage, heal allies from afar at an astounding rate

things to note:
rifle is fast if hip fired but hitscan if scoped; you're pretty good pharah duty and can heal people from stupidly far. Ana three shots all the 200 cast; if nothing else, landing two shots will make them get the fuck out
ana actually has the fastest burst heal in the game with grenade>rifle, being a 250 heal
if you land a sleep and for some reason are the only one around to capitalize, shoot>melee>grenade for 190 damage. not Mei level, but it's something.
REAPER AND TRACER FUCK YOU UP SO BAD
hog is also an amazing target for nanoboost

So I'm still terrible at using D.Va for anything but distracting 3+ enemies off the point, but being able to cycle Defense Matrices, even briefly, is making staying alive a lot easier... that is, if Ana doesn't snipe me with her Sleep Shot (I think it pierces DM?!). Also have to get used to the rebind for DM on console (it got moved to L2 from R1).

Also, hate Zarya so, so much. Her and Mei both pierce DM with their close shots, kill me easy, and maybe it's my inexperience talking, but whenever I get anywhere near her, she always seems to have her barriers active on whatever I'm trying to hit.

MatsuriSakuragi · « **Reply #213 on:** July 22, 2016, 11:10:39 AM »

Run away from Zarya and Mei. D.Va is severely weak to them.

Also, even if DM got improved, it's a lackluster shield and you're better off using your jets as evasion. It's great for soaking up bullet rain though.

Ryuu · « **Reply #214 on:** July 22, 2016, 11:27:31 AM »

i'm not sure i would say that defense matrix is lackluster. it's not as good as a reinhardt shield for gaining ground on the point, no, but it's also the only ability in the game that can eliminate ultimates without any residual effect to the team. reinhardt's shield can't prevent the team from getting sucked into zarya's ult, for example

MatsuriSakuragi · « **Reply #215 on:** July 22, 2016, 12:10:58 PM »

I... actually did not know that. Huh.

Amraphenson · « **Reply #216 on:** July 22, 2016, 08:56:55 PM »

it's impossible to run in front of defense matrix and accidentally catch spam like it is with rein shield, in addition

MatsuriSakuragi · « **Reply #217 on:** July 23, 2016, 02:18:48 PM »

Speaking of tanks, I finally caved and just forced myself to learn Zarya. I'm really digging her all of a sudden. Not only being capable of but EXPECTED to be a bullet magnet means I can play more recklessly and still wreck faces. And the team appreciates it too!

Tea Devil · « **Reply #218 on:** July 23, 2016, 07:08:19 PM »

This game has pretty much been my life for the past week. Played as D.Va and Mercy before, but now one of my friends plays a great Zenyatta and so I switched Mercy for Junkrat. It's amazing how a change of character can make your experience so much better.

Unfortunately, the Ana patch also introduced some serious ping issues for me. I still play because I like the game and latency is nothing new for me, but the only thing that can make me salty is when I have issues that are not on my end.

Defense Matrix can actually shut down quite a number of ults if you're quick enough. It can eat up Hanzo's ult when it's still an arrow before it becomes dragons, Mei's ult if you catch the little bot before it hits the ground, and of course Zarya's ult when it's still just a regular charge shot.

Amraphenson · « **Reply #220 on:** July 24, 2016, 04:08:29 AM »

If you're on top of a soldier it eats his biotic field thing too if he throws it down inside your field.

I had been nullify Hanzo's Ult with Defense Matrix once and I think predicting and Shield timing is very important but most fun part is when I use Defense Matrix to shield Reaper ult near his face lol

Motivating people to actually buy loot boxes now it seems. My friend got lucky, he got Tracer's British flag skin from a lootbox just 5min ago. We only played 3 games together.

Time to farm exp like madman to collect loot boxes!!

All I want is the Junkrat shotput victory.

Instead, I have the new Lucio, Zarya, and Tracer skins.

The desire sensor is real.

Why, oh why would someone main Symmetra on Numbani Attack? I know Flik did an Attack with a Symmetra, but this guy was sub-10.

In balance news, Android Krillin is completely OP and Discord Orb is very likely to be debuffed, Mercy (who was apparently too powerful with an attack boost the same relative strength as current Discord Orb) and Mei (whose Ult is apparently too slow to freeze compared to something like Reinhardt's Ult?) might get buffed.

EDIT: New news from the PTR servers:

All Ultimates that used to retain some of their charge now get it completely wiped after a quarter second - enough so that if they immediately get sniped, they may retain some, but Deadeye, for example, is not as big a threat as it used to be.

Projectile hitboxes are being reverted, so that they're easier to score hits with.

Android Krillin has Discord Orb reduced to 30% debuff, but his attack power is increased to compensate for him.

Mercy gets even more healing power, and a reduced timer on her allies' cooldown after being revived.

Mei's ult now goes right through barriers (but it should probably still be blocked by Defense Matrix), as well as being freakin' massive now.

Genji loses his giga burst move (Fan into Melee, cancel into Swift Strike) since he has to finish his melee attack now, his double jump now no longer restores after a wall jump, and Dragonblade has its duration reduced (so I don't think he can kill a full health D.Va on just Dragonblade alone now), and he can't Swift Strike to dodge traps. (Cue the salt from longtime Genji mains.)

Hanzo's now faster with his bow drawn, and his arrows now move faster. Not sure what that will do with those guys who shoot straight up into the air to smash down on unsuspecting Attackers when the gates open.

Lucio's Amped Speed is now slower.

Watchpoint: Gibraltar lost its first checkpoint (the one under the bridge?), which will probably make pushing a little harder for the Attackers.

Speaking of D.VA, Gremlin D.VA is now canon. :3

Buggy · « **Reply #233 on:** August 19, 2016, 04:48:35 AM »

Genji's nerf makes him less mobility and less annoying ( no more double jump all around genji ) and may be it will aafect to playstyle toward to genji's player too

ps. to celebrate D.va new emote I want to celebrate with this song https://youtu.be/AAZfMwUZDZk

there won't be one, b/c people will just start picking pharah for vertical levels and tracer for horizontal levels. the only genjis left will be gonjo mains who don't read patch notes

Amraphenson · « **Reply #238 on:** August 20, 2016, 02:41:15 AM »

Pharah picks aren't going to overwhelm anything until McCree stops being McCree.
