I always swap off zen cause no one saves me from doomfist as zen and I cant get away as zen hes just so slow, so I go brig or moira. But yeah no peels, no protection. Reaper killing your winston or roadhog? Not the tank's fault (lol) and doesnt swap. I always tend to swap to another healer or maybe dps for the second round of the game if we lost the first, but doesnt seem like common practice in gold.

The games I smash as a healer are always the ones where no one flanks me. People should always flank!

People cry about widows, but no one swaps to counter her. They all ask how? I say well winston, dva, genji, doomfist etc. But oh no, cant swap to counter, just bitch more about her being uncontested. I hope they make the avoid list bigger, I'm constantly removing and adding people each game lol

Doomfist will return to his worthless ways next week! Thank fucking god. Before I left he was sort of worthless, but right now he's fucking absurdly over the top in power once he gets going.

holy shit ive never dropped so hard ever, i went from plat now im like 2200. This game has gone so far beyond downhill since i actually tried to play it lmao
its either people ignoring meta, or people trying to play meta heroes but not knowing how to play them and its just like... what?

I've only had a problem with doomfists a couple times, and I'll admit it felt frustrating. But I usually play his hard/soft counters, Phara/Mcree/Ana/DVA/Brig/Lucio so I don't think I felt it as bad as other people. The game I really felt helpless in was when I played Soldier. Holy shit there is absolutely nothing you can do against a DF as soldier. I'm guessing that's how it feels for every non-counter to him. If you don't have a way to stop his combo or escape his combo you are fucked. And even then you have to see him coming for all that to work, which admittedly in my plat tier is pretty easy since most DF don't use the terrain in the crazy ways the higher tier players do. If they did it'd probably be way worse.

What are they nerfing on him? I remember at Blizzcon they were talking about the horizontal movement on his ground slam?

These are the changes to him:

Doomfist

• Seismic Slam
  • Victims no longer lose air control while being pulled in.
• Meteor Strike
  • Inner ring damage radius increased from 1.5m to 2.0m. This is the ring where Meteor Strike deals its full 300 damage.
  • Max damage outside of inner ring decreased from 300 to 200. This is the ring where damage falloff happens, which still reduces the damage down to 15 at max range.

Most people that have tried him on PTR have said the changes pretty much reduce him to having only rocket punch as a means to killing people.

According to the recap post, most of the dev team plays a lot of Mystery Heroes. I want my Comp Mystery Heroes season god damn it!!

Hooray, Mei Snowball is back!!

That Bastion buff is stupid. He shouldn't be able to snipe like that in turrent.

I love Mystery Heroes, but Mystery DM is pretty frustrating. There are a lot of heroes that are just terrible in DM and any other map than Chateau makes them even worse to play.

He used to be like that back in closed beta. The thought of being able to more reliably murder Pharmercy combos makes me happy.

You don't see much Pharah anymore since the nerf to her though. I'd rather deal with her than Bastion.

Anyone noticing that Lucio is almost completely invulnerable sometimes? New bug maybe?

Had several close encounters vs Lucio with reaper and put 2 or 3 full clips in his face and did absolutely nada.

Where's my mystery heroes?

The Christmas update screwed up the Blizzard World map (spawn doors werent opening) so they yanked the map and brought down all Arcade modes that had access to the map (No Limit and Mystery Heroes). Looks like Mystery Heroes is back up now with the regular Blizzard World map back in the rotation instead of the Christmas one.

From what little I've seen on streams so far, GOATs is still ticking and McCree has returned to his right-clicking machine ways. He's almost like he was at Overwatch's release. I was watching Calvin last night and he was literally right-clicking everything and getting kills easily.

i thought 10 damage was a huge overbuff to his right click but i forgot that his original hammer was 70x6 lmao, so 55 isn't too bad.

still comical how bad blizzard is at balancing, they destroy brigiette's ability to 1 shot a tracer, but now mccree can burst 350 damage instantly when he hits a flashbang. Plus his roll is faster than it was before on a shorter cooldown.

Good shit cucklan

Dafran is just insane with his tracking.
