Overwatch

I should have you watch one of my games so you could hurl abuse at my atrocious way of playing him! Hopefully I will learn with practice, sadly I don't get to play him as much as I want as I demand at least one good healer on my team to pick him at all... 

I don't think this new Symmetra is for me sadly... her turrets do feel better to place, but for me that's the only thing I like about the rework. I miss her weapon so much, and I think they've made her quite a bit more frustrating to play against.

With each rework I feel less and less inclined to play...

Awww, pretty happy right now after Sweden secured the group win in the soccer WC. 

I've just been a bit unlucky that two of my favorite heroes were reworked to such an extent. My mechanical skill really isn't that great, so Symmetra was really nice for me because I could focus on other aspects like game-sense instead. Besides, I know she will be nerfed to oblivion eventually... 

And now I will forever refer to the mech as "Oliver". 

Not sure if Blizzard jumped the shark with this one... Well there is the issue of the gorilla scientist in the game and Hammond was teased ever since the introduction of the Horizon Lunar Colony map. This one more out of left field than even Orisa (see this)... As for the gameplay, that thing seems really wild, I guess we will have to see how Korean pros will use this one, IF they will use.

Support heroes in general are too strong at the moment which is especially annoying since they pretty much dictate the meta.

Mercy is bearing the brunt of people's ire in part because Brigitte's mere existence is enough to scare off the Dive comps that would give her hell and she synergizes so well with double sniper, which is meta right now.
Hanzo, while busted, is kind of a necessary evil to punch through Mercy's healing and take advantage of Grav.

People complained about Dive comps being oppressive but it took a lot more coordination to pull it off properly than it does to swap to Brigitte and ruin a dive completely.

Brigitte's entire kit fucks Dive a lot harder than Hanzo does by simple virtue of being able to force Winston and the DPS heroes into a brawl, Mercy just helps drag that brawl out even more which Dive comps don't want.
Hanzo on his own is still a fairly easy kill for a decent Winston and child's play for the Winston/D.Va combo.
On maps where there's lots of high ground to abuse like Gibraltar and Numbani, Dive is still good though.

Ana, sadly, might be a lost cause at this point and in all honesty I'm kinda glad since she slows the game down when she's prominent.
Moira can still do a shitload of healing but Mercy and Zenyatta just offer a lot more utility.

Reverting Mercy might well be the way to go at this point but I'm torn between hoping she stays this way out of spite and changing her back.

I have decided that I'm a Rein main. Of course if the theorized triple dive tank meta becomes a thing, I won't be able to play him. lol

I easily have the most fun playing as Reinhardt.

Heck yeah he is! Playing him is by far the most fun I've had playing the game. Nothing like swinging that giant hammer and smashing the enemies around haha. And when you get a good charge that splats a squishy... so satisfying! 

But yes, his earth shatter is by far the hardest thing to use and time. I've gotten better with it though as the last couple days I've gotten a quad kill and a 5 enemy kill using shatter into charge into hammer swinging. Got a POTG out of it too. I've saved one of the POTGs, I'll share it, if I can figure out how, when I get home. haha

I've noticed that big shields like Rein's, Orisa's, Winstons, will block the shatter, but Brig's will not (maybe it does if she's looking straight at you, I'm not sure, but every time I've used it on a team that had a brig with shield up, she still went down). So I like to lower my shield, throw the fire, and a couple of strafes a couple times to make them think that's all I lower my shield for. Then as soon as Rein lowers his to throw fire back... I shatter. 

One big thing not to do is to try to use it save yourself just before death. DON'T! lol ... you'll just lose the ult and die. I've tried this way too many times and it almost always results in failure. 

It was pretty broken. Teamfights in GM basically consist of "Hope you have Transcendence for grav and really hope the enemy Mercy is too dumb to damage boost Hanzo."

I still think Hanzo himself is OP and needs more balancing but Mercy is also overtuned. This was a step in the right direction for the health of the game.
