Mei will get a lot more use now that she counters quite a few of Sombra's stuff, so hold on to your butt.

So broken compared to the 3 Heroes currently sitting at 90% pickrate?
Also Sombra can counter a lot of mei's shit. I'm actually real interested to see how that matchup goes.

Her ult is completely broken right now (how quickly you can get it). You don't even need to test this shit in PTR, just nerf it already. I had a game today in QP where I had my ult twice in the same fight. I was like "again, what the hell?
Almost every pro game has her now because of her ability to completely isolate players and her high damage right click plus super fast charging ult that is better than graviton and her ridiculous stalling abilities.

I'm always amazed at how precise they can be when putting up the walls. Today I try to put a wall covering the entrance to the 2nd point in Hanamura and it just went to the stairs outside... I hid in my ice cube afterwards because of the shame :'(
The fact that the cross-hair turns to a white dot doesn't help too. I don't really understand how this wasn't patched yet, it's something so simple. Let me keep my green short-crosshair pls, thx.
Most of them don't know, I don't know how they could know about the skin without knowing the date.

Like, on her own? Compared to every other dps characters she really doesn't.
What she's great at is enabling your team to get picks.
Though I've so often outdamage the junkrats on my team that i often wondered wtf are they doing.
the team was rein roadhog reaper mei lucio zenyatta
reaper was complaining that the second dps (me as mei) wasn't enough damage
i don't know how you can look at that comp and say that
also i'm good at landing right clicks which is more than enough damage

Eh some people just like to complain about everything.
I know I'm guilty of that sometimes.
If you're winning though who cares? I can do more damage as mccree but I'm better at finishing people off as mei so guess who I'm going to be better at.

Can someone tell me why people on the competitive leaderboard have 3 characters next to their names? It doesn't seem to be their 3 most played characters, so what is it?

You know, maybe its just because I play Zen and Zarya all the time in comp, but I'm actually having fun playing Lucio 0_0
Usually picked because no one ever goes healer....
Tonight I was playing KOTH twice where we were up 2-0 and somehow it got it 2-2 .
I understand but if you can't handle the task he should told the other dps to help.
The taste of cold blood.
II still won them though

Is the Symmetra update still coming mid November?
I hope they don't change her too much. I really enjoy her. I'm in top 150 with her in Competitive. lol

It's mid-November at the earliest. I'm betting we don't get it with the other stuff. Maybe not even this year depending on how significant the changes are.
They're doing the basic things I missed in Sym, in Sombra though. Good damage, solid health, and immediate escape options (so she's viable in a fight. I hate the hide/seek shit Sym players pull) and speeding up the health packs/denying them from the enemy team is waaaaay better than +25 shields. Especially if you're playing with a competent team that will actually feed themselves.

I just hope they do justice to Symmetra.
Blizzard doesn't love her so much, that her turrets/portal don't even turn GOLD with the golden weapon. Only her gun is gold.
It's super lame and makes me sad.
You... want flamboyant gold turrets?

overtime on Dorodo defense, coming back from spawn (team's still holding the first point), hear enemy D.Va ult behind the gate, think 'fuck it' and blindly launch ult over the wall and get a double kill ~ROUND 1 COMPLETE~
we were able to get the payload there and win. xD
same for Torb, and he considers his turret his baby. LOL

They often get more use than my main gun. lol
People need to fear the fabulous overpriced turrets.

Guess that is kinda true. Could take off the glimmer effect I guess?
Still can put it on the portal.
3 most played of the current season.

Why are those top two so much better than final :/
Damn you Blizz...
After this and the Sombra ones I'm convinced that if I saw a concept art page for all 23 characters I'd want a previous scrapped version more than what we got for every one of them.

That top right concept one could have been straight ripped ouf of gundam, it just reminds me so much of the MS-18e Kämpfer especially if you imagine her blue color screen over it. When will Blizzard release an official Overwatch artbook?
Question: will there be streams/recordings available for the different Overwatch panels? I would really like to watch these.

The only good looking one is the Porco Rosso-esque on the bottom right tbh
Why would she be comparable to Mei who can deal almost no damage on her own? Looking at her skill set it seems like she's a Tracer who is designed to annoy opponents more directly rather than holding a point. Her cloaking is more of an evasive/positioning skill than actual stealth, so it's comparable to Tracer's dash and Reaper's shadow movement. Her transponder is a specific repositioning tool, comparable to Reaper's teleport but faster. Her weapon has the same effective range as Soldier 76, fires rapidly like Tracer, and has a much larger clip than both.

Maybe they didn't want the hitbox to be too large ?
We have the graphic novel coming, but I'm pretty sure that's it so far. That was supposed to go up digitally this month with a physical release next year. Apparently they didn't say anything about it at Blizzard's publishing panel though, so who knows what's going on?

With Sombra gaining views like crazy, not for long i guess.

It's a character reveal. The view rate will drop drastically by Tuesday if not sooner.
Dragons is at 13 million views.
She has as much HP as Genji? that's not sucky at all for a harasser.
