03/29/2017 08:52 AMPosted by Errasb) Pick rate, as stated earlier, is not a metric used to make balance decisionsThis was the only thing I really felt the need to speak up on and dispute. It absolutely is a metric Blizz uses. Kaplan has specifically stated pick rates several times when talking about the various character balance adjustments they've made since the game launched. Everything else you stated I agree with though. Too many heroes are far too capable of putting out lots of sustained damage right now IMO. This even extends to tanks and one of the reasons the 3 tank comp became so popu…

...That's like saying Mei's Blizzard shouldn't freeze enemies over short ledges.Mei's ult is a 3D sphere.These things happen because it's 3D.I don't think you know what cones and spheres are...some of you are arguing about the mechanics of the ability which isn't really what OP was even getting at. It's not a matter of him not understanding the difference between 2d and 3d. It's a matter of he feels it shouldn't affect those in the air, over ledges, etc.I actually agree. I think Rein's ult has far too much range and reach when it comes to height. It should have an effect, but nowhere near as h…

03/28/2017 08:12 PMPosted by BnetplayerIn every one of the videos you posted, all the targets are well within the area of effect.When an earthquake happens in real life, please be in the air when it happens so you can tell me if you can feel the EARTHSHATTER or not... uhm you can't...was this a serious statement??? lol I mean seriously...?When was the last time you saw an airplane fall out of the sky because it was affected by an earthquake...? Just curious and asking for a friend...

I think Lucio is going to fall off a bit due to the healing nerf. His mobility is what continues to make him a fav pick, yet Blizz keeps nerfing his healing...

...even with a zen ult you can still mow them down. The zen ult won't last long enough if you have any kind of decent DPS standing with you when you pop it. I can see it getting nerfed slightly if anything. A solider and bastion sitting next to Orisa while she pops her ult is a beastly thing to contend with. That's a LOT of bullets flying out at the enemy comp lolYeah, her ult and bastion turret can out damage zen ult. Her ult is sick but it needs the team for maximum effectiveness. High powered zarya and her ult is very devastating as well.Agreed, Orisa is very much team dependent. She's just…

...This is something I've been having some success with. Being able to shoot that shield our forward without having to physically leave the payload opens up quite a few options. I can continue pushing payload while flankers and/or dps can push forward to preven t the enemy from getting entrenched.Yep, plus if you are grouped up with your team and pop her ult there is a good chance you are going to destroy the enemy team unless they pop a zen ult or something like that.even with a zen ult you can still mow them down. The zen ult won't last long enough if you have any kind of decent DPS standing…

PharahBastionJunkratall say hi and not to worry because those barriers melt in about 2 seconds with any of them on your team.

03/29/2017 08:38 AMPosted by SplatterpunkOn maps with an outdoor and indoor way past the choke then put a Rein on outdoor duty protected as usual. On the indoor route put Orisa's barrier with her behind it which protects her from her main weakness which is elevation. Perhaps with a dps/healer back up to stop rushes. But then, that has the weakness of splitting the team into 3's (or even 2's if you guard a third route) which are still prone to Mobbing. You could perhaps put a Tjorborn turret behind as a '7th Player'?If there are only two ways past a choke, such as Hanamura 1 or Eichenvald…

03/29/2017 08:35 AMPosted by UndersteerThere are lots of heroes in the game that can make life difficult, junkrat isn't it in my experience. Junkrat is probably the easiest hero to dispatch. Junkrat is awesome at the eichenwalde choke but thats pretty much about it.Then you just haven't played alongside very good Junks IMO lolSeriously, he's a beast on several maps. Anubis, Eichenwalde, King's Row, the first and last sections of Hollywood. Basically any kind of map with a long corridor of sorts and a little cover is perfect for Junk. Pharahs, Hanzos, and Widows can make your life hell if yo…

Basically anything that counters and negates Rein's shield will do the same with Orisa. She is much more effective at pushing enemies back than Rein though due to her range and damage output as well as damage reduction ability.
