  • I’ve swapped E and Shift for : Brig, Tracer, Ana, Symmetra… couldn’t tell you exactly why. It’s been years.

    I always had E as my blink for mage in Wow keybinds so it feels natural , and also forward movement. Shift I prefer as a survival ability (it is for Moira, Reaper and many others) so the nade, recall, and tele all feel natural there for me.

    E is my skill shot/ projectile. Whether it’s a Fire Strike, Moira orb, Javelin… or sleep dart / sym turret, or whip shot . Honestly I may have it swapped for Orisa too 😂 not sure what the default is there.



  • C9 is simple : you won the fight , and (usually) in the glory of chasing kills, lost the objective.

    I see it most often confused with a back cap… but in some cases it IS still a C9. If you’re spawn camping enemy, and Sombra back caps you…that’s a C9. You’re winning / controlling the fight , and someone back capped the objective you’re ignoring / forgetting / assuming you own.

    Also. If 2 teams are fighting for the payload in overtime, and each team gets some kills, meaning there’s 2 or 3 left on each team, and the fight turns in one teams favor and they have more players / more respawning teammates, but the contesting player jumps off or chases a little too far and the time expires…That’s a C9. Even though the enemy team has players left…you won the fight , the point is rightfully yours , but you C9’d the objective.

    However: if someone is booped or cc’d off point, or simply cannot touch , that is not a C9. The enemy influenced the fight back into their favor.

    You cannot accuse someone of a C9 simply for not touching when they theoretically could have. A Moira being the only one who can contest a 1v5 while the rest of your team is spawning or elsewhere, is suicide. The fight was in no way “won”

    Remember : there are a lot of different perspectives in any match. Some people wont see the boop, or the javelin, or the Hitscan forcing you to cover. Some people dont know exactly what a C9 is… or since it’s literally based on one specific team play once upon a time, maybe it’s evolved into more broad terms. Hell it can apply to games other than Overwatch.

    To me it’s simple: You won! But you lost because you forgot to claim the prize.







  • I’m a Rein dood. You can shield yourself and teammates from the boosted missiles pretty easy. You can let one through on occasion to conserve shield and allow some healing / shield regeneration. Fire strike easy to land on either of them, or their teammates. Hitting a double strike easy kills. Also Pharas float to the ground is very predictable. Peek the off-angle and the pin is almost guaranteed. Sometimes I get the mercy by mistake and that’s even better. Hope that helps







  • I think he’s improved. however I do believe he should’ve been comp locked for a week (although they already pushed the rework back , so I get that aspect of it) I’m just sorry for everyone who’s losing games because their tank is experimenting with Hog before trying it out in QP first. A lot of people who haven’t been playing returned to try it out, a lot of DPS and support mains trying it too and it’s just a recipe for a loss (and possible misconception of his strength) to be played by someone who’s not fluid with the tank role , or doesn’t have a hero to swap to when it’s not working.







  • Just to clarify: alls I’m saying is we aren’t all begging for new content always and are never satisfied…

    when I played WoW all I wanted was them to save PvP (and they did OK bringing back point buy for gear) the game just got to expensive for my lifestyle.

    I love overwatch. I don’t need a new hero every other pass, the over introduction of new heroes is changing the game A LOT. New maps are always nice . Again doesn’t need to be every other pass. All I care for is a meta shake every 3-6 months. Whether it’s reworked heroes , or blanketed balance changes…That’s the problem with switching to paid battle pass. People only buy them when you attach something flashy to it, so ofcourse there’s pressure now to produce.

    Bring back pink mercy at 10$ and watch the bank acct flood. You don’t need to add a rushed hero into the game, hindering gameplay, when all you needed was a decent promo a few times per year
