proletaricat
for pc or all three?
proletaricat
YOU NEED TO SPECIFY
мαи∂α
PC! It's an update on the bnet client
proletaricat
DEEP, FORLORN SIGH
мαи∂α
YOU ALREADY KNOW THEY HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIRD PARTY VERIFICATION FOR THE CONSOLE
proletaricat
LOOK
proletaricat
i WAS HOPING THEY MANAGED
мαи∂α
and I don't think they can hold it back from being applied once it drops
мαи∂α
they usually unleash patches on Tuesday
proletaricat
WHILE EVERYONE WAS FUCKING AROUND ON PTR
мαи∂α
there I added "on PC" just 4 u
✧ Navigator ✧
IF it is PC tomorrow, then given they released competitive the same week as pc launch for consoles, I think there's a good chance this week is it too
мαи∂α
It's possible! I think it entirely depends on how fast Sony/MS approves it
мαи∂α
Since the torb console nerf patch still hasn't gone through
proletaricat
i'm missing half of this week and all of next, so i was DESPERATELY HOPING it would come before i left
proletaricat
tbh i wouldn't be surprised if they lumped that in w/this one
proletaricat
instead of doing two
✧ Navigator ✧
AT WORST, you'll have an awesome thing to look forward to
proletaricat
THIS IS TRUE
proletaricat
i have enough gold for the two skins i super wanted too so BRING IT ON 
мαи∂α
yeah I'm buying the young Amari skin first thing Ana's there for real
мαи∂α
I like how someone on the reddit post is concerned about dva becoming OP in this one patch when really... McCree is the scary one being changed
anna ✨
I'm terrified for nu mccree
✧ Navigator ✧
DVa's change is quality of life, i'm excited for it
мαи∂α
I was watching Seagull stream earlier and he is so salty about the new McCree
✧ Navigator ✧
lol
мαи∂α
"see if we were playing on PTR that would have killed me"
мαи∂α
pretty much what he said every time a McCree headshot him from across the map while he was doing competitive matches today. Removing the damage drop-off is going ot be huge
ＡＳＳ ＳＴＥＡＬＥＲ
tbh while I appreciate the initial mcree nerf, he DOES need some kind of buff to compensate for it
ＡＳＳ ＳＴＥＡＬＥＲ
hardly anyone plays him on the PS4 version anymore, because Reaper is the new tank killer now
мαи∂α
yeah, he needs something done, but the current buff is "no damage drop-off"
ＡＳＳ ＳＴＥＡＬＥＲ
though I suppose itll probably be a bigger deal on PC than console
мαи∂α
it'll be interesting to see how it goes, I didn't play PTR too much (enough to try Ana out and everyone was playing Ana/Dva/Zen)
ＡＳＳ ＳＴＥＡＬＥＲ
because lol headshots on console
мαи∂α
Yeah, good McCrees tend to not miss their left clicks
мαи∂α
So it's a little terrifying, but only way to find out is see it in practice
ＡＳＳ ＳＴＥＡＬＥＲ
meanwhile, we desperately need that torb nerf on console, mostly because of the asshole teams thatll do 3+ torbs on defend
мαи∂α
yeah, I've heard competitive is a goddamn mess on consoles because of torb 8(
мαи∂α
hopefully this patch rolls out quick to consoles too and includes the tweak to Torb's turret
ＡＳＳ ＳＴＥＡＬＥＲ
I am so ready for that one hero limit. I think my squad and I decided that well do comp again when that rule comes into play
мαи∂α
(and the one-hero limit in competitive will help too)
ＡＳＳ ＳＴＥＡＬＥＲ
excited for the dva buff too, since its so hard to kill people with her ult
мαи∂α
oh my god the new dva is fantastic
ＡＳＳ ＳＴＥＡＬＥＲ
and zenyatta, because I love playing him, but damn hes so squishy
мαи∂α
she and zen feel so much better to play now
ＡＳＳ ＳＴＥＡＬＥＲ
IM SO GLAD
ＡＳＳ ＳＴＥＡＬＥＲ
D.va is in my top 5 of most played (because shes such a versatile tank that works well in a lot of situations and is the best turret killer, imo) but I welcome any buffs, man
мαи∂α
She wasn't played much on PC due to her large ass crit-box
мαи∂α
but I think the changes to defense matrix make the trade-off worth it now
ＡＳＳ ＳＴＥＡＬＥＲ
haha yeah, I suppose with better aiming, shed be a nuisance to play
ＡＳＳ ＳＴＥＡＬＥＲ
though she gets a pretty average amount of play on consoles, I think
ＡＳＳ ＳＴＥＡＬＥＲ
itd be interesting to see the numbers for the frequency of heroes picked on consoles vs. PC
ＡＳＳ ＳＴＥＡＬＥＲ
like WMs usually arent a problem on console, but I hear theyre the torbs of PC
мαи∂α
Not since the nerf really
мαи∂α
I don't see WM nearly as much anymore
proletaricat
TORB NERF TORB NERF I NEED IT SO MUCH
ＡＳＳ ＳＴＥＡＬＥＲ
probably about the same effect on mccrees, I imagine
ＡＳＳ ＳＴＥＡＬＥＲ
I hardly see mccrees these days, and honestly when I tried him out I had a really hard time with him too
ＡＳＳ ＳＴＥＡＬＥＲ
a friend who used to be really good with him hardly ever plays him anymore
мαи∂α
A little. McCree definitely isn't a "must have" for his tank shredding, so we've seen an uptick in Reaper usage for sure
мαи∂α
Roadhog and 76 also helped to fill the McCree void
ＡＳＳ ＳＴＥＡＬＥＲ
reapers and roadhogs are the bane of my zarya main existence 8(
мαи∂α
oh here we go, hero popularity
мαи∂α
You can sort by platform
ＡＳＳ ＳＴＥＡＬＥＲ
OH NICE
мαи∂α
holy crap you guys use Mercy a whole lot less than PC
ＡＳＳ ＳＴＥＡＬＥＲ
yeah, lucio is definitely the way to go
мαи∂α
Mercy + Lucio is the way to go imo
ＡＳＳ ＳＴＥＡＬＥＲ
my friend who plays a lot of mercy noted that the targeting is really finicky for healing/guardian angel
мαи∂α
AoE healing + dedicated tank healing/dmg buffing is so good
anna ✨
Im excited for dva buff to drop because I got too used to her on PTR that I keep getting rekt as her now on regular server lmao...
мαи∂α
...okay yeah that would make it really hard, the targeting is nice on PC
мαи∂α
I play a hella lot of Mercy and I haven't had any issues
ＡＳＳ ＳＴＥＡＬＥＲ
surprised winston is on the very bottom for PS4, I feel like Ive seen a lot more of him lately
мαи∂α
might be at your mmr-level?
ＡＳＳ ＳＴＥＡＬＥＲ
lmao of course junkrat is #2, YOU DONT HAVE TO AIM
мαи∂α
I feel like he's one of the harder tanks to use so you see him less at the low-levels
ＡＳＳ ＳＴＥＡＬＥＲ
maybe! I guess its only the higher levels that really know how to use him
ＡＳＳ ＳＴＥＡＬＥＲ
I just now started using him a lot more in the last couple of weeks
proletaricat
Yeah, I've seen Winston used more in the higher MMR levels, but fuck Junkrat.
proletaricat
NO AIMING HEROES ARE SUPER POPULAR.
мαи∂α
I used to think that about junkrat until I saw someone who actually knew how to play him play him and it was just... a whole other game
мαи∂α
just "o"
мαи∂α
o
ＡＳＳ ＳＴＥＡＬＥＲ
at least if its a single junkrat, theyre my favorite as zarya, because theyre the most reliable power charger for me. BUT MULTIPLE JUNKRATS, MAN...
мαи∂α
junkrat and fucking pharahs that don't realize DON'T SHOOT YOUR ROCKETS AT A SHIELD ZARYA PLS
ＡＳＳ ＳＴＥＡＬＥＲ
soldiers too
мαи∂α
smack the dps in the face
ＡＳＳ ＳＴＥＡＬＥＲ
at least my brother (who mains soldier) learned from me that the trick is to trick zaryas into putting up their shield for weaker attacks, THEN hit them with helix rockets after it goes down
мαи∂α
yeah, baiting them is the best
мαи∂α
I really enjoy dmg boosting a high energy zarya too, it's a lot of fun
