so I finally got the game and it's easily the most fun I've had with a game in months
definitely looking forward to more of it

Also: I got the $40 regular edition from GameStop, but apparently the code for it was actually the Origins Edition, so I got the upgrade for free somehow lmao
 
I tried out Ana on the PTR (anyone can download it if you guys wanna try her or any other of the upcoming changes out)

Some things about her for those wondering:
- She has no headshot damage multiplier so headshots do no extra damage
- There's no damage ramp up for the rifle. Every shot does the same amount of damage, no charging needed
- Each shot does direct damage followed by some quick damage over time
- While scoped the rifle shot looks like its hitscan, or at least fast enough to where it instantly hits where the corsshair is pointed
- Non-scoped shots do the same amount of damage as a scoped shot but the projectile has a travel speed that needs to be compensated for
- Scoped shots fire tracer rounds like Widowmaker does but non-scoped shots have no tracer rounds (but still has a noticeable projectile effect)
- Her sleep shot or what ever it s called ability is cancelled if the target takes any damage so its more of a non-lethal stun for interrupting stuff
- She can heal herself with her own grenade
 
First competitive game of the day.

- Had a decent team comp, minus the hanzo which, by the way, i can never find a game without someone on my team going hanzo.
- ended up getting rolled however, i had most eliminations and damage as a reinhardt. The number of elims was 3
- start attacking. We have mercy (me), roadhog, 76, mccree, zarya, zenyatta
----- lets not mention how bad zenyatta is
- we ended up capping the first point. Team decides to switch classes.
- now we have a mercy, roadhog, zenyatta switched to genji, zarya switch to motherfucking symmetra, mcree switch to widowmaker
- didn't even come close to capping the second point.
 
The competitive is a pain in the ass sometimes. I've managed to stick around the rank 40s but it's just too unpredictable. Sometimes I'll win a game and do really well and the competitive rank only goes up a little. Other times I lose and the rank drops like no tomorrow, even if I did the best in the team. There definitely needs to be a little bit of tweaking.
 
Symmetra on attack makes me cry

I pulled a Legendary skin already also, the Safari Winston one which is cool but I don't play Winston
 
I'll do Sym on Attack if they're doing a Bastion/Rein defense. If I can get enough orbs off, it'll eventually force the bastion to either move or die.
This is an exception
It's infuriating to have a Symmetra on Escort when they aren't running anything with shields for example

Just get a Junkrat to lob his grenades at the Rein's shield, it'll take down that duo much faster than Sym. By the time you charge up another orb they could already be healed.
 
I'm recently playing with this amazing zarya. He has an odd name but damn is he good, great leader and he has great friends too . They've boosted me to rank 48 already. Then I played quickplay without them and with no one to command me we failed miserably.
 
so i'm playing comp and we lose the first round
someone on the other team decides to leave for some reason, and we stomp the next round.
3 more people on the other team leave.
we finish the game 6v2
we get full XP for the match

so if we got full xp, I think it's safe to assume they lost full xp
poor guys
 
patch is live for everyone now, mercy's damage buff was reduced back to 30, and zenyatta's left click damage was reduced to 40 instead of 45 but his right click damage was increased from 35 to 40 making them equal. so maybe it'll actually have a little use now.

As far as i know those are the only changes from the ptr.
 
ffs I got 38 eliminations as Tracer and was gonna screenshot it but the server crashed

that's literally the only time I've ever seen a server crash wtf
