The Monster Multiverse

Reinhardt feels alright, but I can't help but notice that his shields die waaaaay too quickly, especially now with soldiers. And usually the opposing team is hammering the hell out of that shield.
Sombra can also hack Rein to completely destroy the push.

I like him, he's one of my mains and all. But yeah. He also can't go toe to toe with other tanks other than Zarya and winston effectively. D.va got too much health and Roadhog melts him. Zarya is dependant of her barriers and if you pin her or not.

On a side note, I find what they did to pharah very bad, balance wise. Sure she might have needed a bit of a buff, because of soldiers and mccrees shooting her down. but now? she flies wayyy higher and can stand in the air permanently if shes good enough, this make it so that even if you're competent with your aim with S76 and Mccree, you have to deal with your damage falloff at the range she'l fly at and where she will position herself.

I usually switch to Mcree or Ana to bring down Pharas. Her mother is especially effective against her. Usually one shot will get her grounded. I think Phara's best strength is that people always forget to look up. It's frustrating when you are stuck in a tank or defensive role and forced to deal with her though..because people DO ignore her. When I play Phara I can sometimes go an entire match without dying and still be top damage/kills because people just don't feel like switching to deal with me. Phara is crazy good on Eichenwalde too..

Been playing the newly released Uprising campaign. Feels just as fun as Junkenstein's revenge with the return of the Coop missions. Just gotta get better at the Expert and Legendary runs...

I'm looking forward to trying it out. Was glad to hear Mercy is playable and a new skin. OW was getting stale I'm glad they are sweetening it up finally.

The subtext for this thread makes me smirk, considering what other game TF2 could refer to.

Oh if you are talking about TF2's horrible attempt at a coop mode, I getcha. The TF2 comics were great though. Blizzard no doubt probably learned from Valve's tremendous fail.

Enjoyed the Reinhard movie a lot, also you seen Hanzo vs Alex? Heroes of the Storm is picking up some pace finally! We just need Aviana...! We already have 2 dragons cmon blizz we need a harpy already.

I tried OW again- still the same old unbalanced stompfest. Uninstalled already. The pug smashing premades make it so boring. I always feel like my team gets stomped. Watching 1 Genji kill over half of my team and taking no damage is very boring.. I'm simply not patient enough to waste my time any FPS anymore. OW is very focused on flicker/twitch combat and that's something I will ever be good at. :/ TF2 at least I felt like I could do something, even as an Engineer. Engineer in OW is almost entirely unused. Bastion is a relic and still is crap. Game needs a lot of balance. I felt like I was above average at one point, but now that there is so many amazing Genji's and people with aimbot-like abilities (I'm amazed how fast people can 1 shot aim kill) I think I just suck haha. The match making must fail hard.

New upcoming Hero (Ashe) and Jesse Mccree cinematic.

Making the presentation of the new champ to be that she loses a 6 vs 1 fight wasn't probably the best idea.

Echo looks awesome, can't wait to play her!

Huh. Seems Blizzard has revealed it's 2nd LGBTQ character.... and it's Soldier 76
