My buddy is not liking the Genji change. What I don't like is why I'm seeing more Widowmaker on attack.

Screws the shit out of me when I'm playing as her on defense. She didn't get any kind of buff, so why is she getting played more? Or is it because Hanzo isn't as great as he used to be so Widowmaker is their next choice?

She's not really as useful on attack than Hanzo.

Attack widowmakers are scum.

At least attack symmetra can set up a forward point of attack and shit, letting your team bypass a choke if done well.

At least attack Hanzo can dragon strike and clear an aisle.

Shit at least attack bastion can set up shop and chew through a rein block, and trobjourn can set up on objectives and hold a line.

Attack widows do nothing useful

Of course they are, I'm just trying to figure out what made them so popular as of lately. I have never came across an attack Widowmaker who has yet to counter me.

That and of course, they just suck because they contribute absolutely nothing for attack.

Been noticing this more and more recently myself. But to me, dummies with no aim picking Ana is more of a cancer on this game. I always have an Ana on my random teams, and never get healed. Some of them will not even bother healing you unless you stand still.

This Genji nerf hurts.. my soul :(

Rest in peace little buddy -- it was a good run while it lasted. Hanzo will carry on the Shimada family legacy. Haha

I know the feeling. I've played with some of the most useless Ana's as well, ones who just use her as an offensive character instead of a healer. I refuse to use her offensively unless my entire team is healed or I am by myself and someone is attacking me. Otherwise, I'm sniping my teammates in the head. I get that she can take out people easily ever since they gave her a buff to shoot faster, but if I'm dying or someone else is and you're too busy sniping the enemy instead, you're useless.

But my favorite thing with Ana is when I pick her for attack, and someone else feels the need to choose another sniper. And don't you dare bicker about it, because they will say, "Well, you're playing as a sniper too." These are the people who have absolutely no clue what they're doing in this game, care about medals, and complains that no one is attacking the turrets while they're playing a character that can easily snipe them away...

Think there will ever be a way to get the summer games shit we didn't unlock? I wanted either Zarya skin and the Harambe volleyball icon so fucking bad but literally just got duplicates of Lucio's skins a dozen times over instead and I'm pissed about it.

Pfff, like Reaper needs a nerf. They already made it at the very beginning of testing to have his grenades taken away, leaving him with only his shotguns and his ultimate as the only means of attacking.

I'd rather it be a strong ultimate. It's not like he can't die easily in it.
 
just ran into a 6x DVA team which were attacking, the same team picked 6x torbjörn on the next attack match. this made me lol, they almost made it to the goal twice, but only almost :p

Mmm... six d.vas.
A shame barriers don't block hammers.


Now a six roadhog team? Now that's scary

Hope this brings me back to the game! Warcraft Legion has my soul right now and I'm looking for a good excuse to stop playing it for a bit!
