Yeah, in higher level games the PotG is a Lucio or Pharah pushing 2 people off a cliff at the beginning of the game.

New patch is out http://us.battle.net/forums/en/overwatch/topic/20747615932

HERO BALANCE UPDATES

Ana

Biotic Rifle
Rate of fire increased by 20%
Magazine size increased from 8 to 10

Developer Comments: While Ana has been very well received, she was showing to be a little bit weaker overall. In addition to helping her feel better to play, these changes should also increase her healing and damage output.

McCree

Peacemaker
Primary Fire
Damage falloff range decreased by 10 meters
Damage falloff amount is unchanged
As a result, even with this change, McCree’s effective range is still higher than it was at launch

Alternate Fire
Rate of fire increased by 15%

Flashbang
Recovery time (i.e. the amount of time before McCree can fire again) decreased from 0.5 seconds to 0.35 seconds

Developer Comments: McCree’s latest range increase helped him quite a bit, but it was a bit too much in the right hands. This change weakens his long range damage somewhat, but still keeps it stronger than it has been in the recent past. The other changes combine to allow him to land more alternate fire shots on targets that he has hit with Flashbang.

BUG FIXES

Heroes
Targets of Ana’s Sleep Dart will no longer instantly recover when damaged (recovery time is now 0.5 seconds)


User Interface
Fixed UI compatibility issues for ATI cards
Fixed a bug that would sometimes cause Lúcio, Mei, and other models to only partially render (or disappear)

What do you mean? He is now barely better than before the buff (had 18m falloff now 20).
Ana needs passive regen like rest of healers so you don't need to save one of her best tools for self heal.

Apparently, it's possible to get a player kicked from a game due to inactivity by being sleep darted by three Anas. :lol:

http://gamerant.com/overwatch-ana-boot-players-725/

With Overwatch‘s support sniper Ana recently making her way onto PS4 and Xbox One after having been debuted on PC platforms, fans of Blizzard’s incredibly successful first-person shooter have found her sleep dart to be a helpful tactic to keep enemy forces at bay by knocking them out for a limited amount of time. Interestingly enough, the YouTuber known as Youmuus has discovered an even more potent usage of Ana’s tranquilizer that can essentially put a player out of commission permanently for an entire match.

In order for Overwatch fans to pull this off, a squad will need three separate players to take up the mantle of Ana. Basically, by surrounding an adversary with a group of Ana avatars, the characters will need to consistently hit the enemy with sleep darts until the opposing player’s server registers them as being inactive long enough to have them booted from the game.

As seen in the Youmuus’ video below, a small squadron of Ana triplets circle around Bastion and systematically shut down Overwatch‘s robot hero by blasting him with a sleep dart in intervals of 5 seconds a piece. Eventually, the targeted player disappears from the map altogether, as they have been kicked from the match for being AFK for about a minute.

Is this game (Overwatch) better than Vermintide? Which would you recommend?

I never played Vermintide but I can tell you they are nothing alike, also Overwatch doesn't require having friends.


This is my favorite Overwatch meme

I have not played Vermintide so you'll only get half of the story from me but these are my thoughts after 150 hours:
- solid mechanics with no major design flaws
- nice hero variety but the designs are a bit inconsistent, you can tell Blizzard kind of pooled all their ideas from over the years
- needs more maps and game modes, some maps are mediocre as it is (Hanamura)
- 20 tick and big hitboxes
- fun with friends (shocker) and if you have none, chances are you'll come across people to play with

I've gotten my 40 yuros worth of fun

Most fun I've had with a multiplayer shooter in quite a while. I'd definitely recommend it.

I'm sure they are considering they will need a whole new PC to play again.

Welp, I got 2 legendaries and 2 epics from 2 consecutive summer stashes. No Zarya olympics skin though :(
My all luck spent for some skinny Brit...

Edit:

Also terrorist attack bug.

Despite the 10 million players this game is supposed to have I am sometime struggling to find a game at the moment, sometimes waiting 2-3 minutes to be placed in one and even then often being kicked back to the Lobby due to a lack of players.

Mind you I'm still a lowly level 9 trying quickplay - has everyone else moved to competitive?

2 Tracer legendaries from 2 consecutive crates.
A few levels away from prestige 2, too.
