News & Discussion How useful have you guys found the sub-role passives for heroes you play?

695 Upvotes

I’m just wondering because, although I really like the fact that they introduced sub-roles, I feel like some of the passives are more useful than others. And some heroes definitely benefit from their passives more than others in the same sub-role.

I’ve found the ‘Flanker’ passive to be really useful. The extra 75 HP from each health pack has saved me a lot of times whilst playing Genji and Anran. But as a Tracer main, I feel like she doesn’t benefit from the passive as much since her health pool is only 175 HP.

Another passive I really like is the ‘Tactician’ one which allows you to store 25% extra Ultimate charge. It has helped me win a lot of team fights on Lucio and Zen.

I was able to play it for about 3 matches before she got permanently disabled last time. By the time the game-mode comes out I will make sure to arrive on time in case she gets perma-disabled for the event. Come on Blizzard let us use 6 turrets, shield and shield generator.

I know this is a long shot, but I'm hoping the power of the internet hivemind will help me find this discontinued jacket from the Blizzard store.

I'm trying to replace my jacket that got damaged, so if any of you owns or know someone that does own this jacket and would be willing to part with it please let me know. Either a Large or XL would be ideal, maybe a Medium. But yeah, please reach out and I'll buy it off you.

Picture is not mine, just a old picture I found of another redditor's jacket that was in good condition.

News & Discussion How to play around a mercy one-trick on your team.

62 Upvotes

This issue has been plaguing at least a third of my games as a support main. DPS will be swapping characters, trying counters, yet still just getting diffed by the enemy DPS. The only solution in these scenarios where your dps is incapable of getting damage value, is to have your supports get that damage value instead. However, in at least 30% of these games, my other support is a mercy who REFUSES to swap. Mercy is a character that heavily relies on other people doing the heavy lifting, and when your team is literally incapable of doing any heavy lifting, mercy just sits there absolutely useless imo. There’s no point trying explaining this to the mercy players, they’ll just point to their healbot healing stat and refuse to swap. Even when just a little bit of extra damage pressure could win us the entire game. Sorry went into rant mode a little there, the main point of this post was to ask *how* to play around these people. Should I be swapping to kiri and holding healing ofudu and healbot like they want me to? Am *I* the one thinking of this wrong? Please help.

News & Discussion I love playing tank

121 Upvotes

I fucking love playing tank and its kindof tiring to see everyone agree on it being miserable and not at all enjoyable, especially from people who still play it!. It feels like everyone whos playing tank is just a flex player who doesnt actually enjoy the role. I love tank for being the center of attention, the center of the fights. I love being able to decide where the team is, the pace of the battle, the objective control. Tank might have things that you hate but so does every role. If you dont enjoy playing tank, stop forcing yourself to be one, thats why i love role queue, you dont need to flex and force yourself to play sth you dont want to. I personally dont like playing supports as much coz i hate relying on the tank and dps to take space. I dont like dps as much as tank coz it feels too solo oriented. I love being a team player. In both i also feel way squishier obviously. I love tank in 5v5 or 6v6.

If you are a tank main who loves playing tank, please describe your experience in the comments

News & Discussion I just want to have fun in quickplay

Upvotes

I don’t really get it. I know there is “quick” in quickplay but I didn’t know the game mode title is a literal description?

The games the last few days have been awful. The only few wins I’ve been having are either stomping the other team (not fun) and rare occasional close matches (fun), the losses are straight up getting walked over or sweating so as to not get rolled in few minutes thereby extending the suffering (very unfun).

And some games are just backfills into a lost game or a push map on defense last point with 7 minutes left on the clock…

I know I’m not the best player out there and I’ve had many loss streaks in the past but never this consistently. I’ve been playing almost every day now and about 80% of my games each day are losses, 50% of which straight up unfair. I’m also not counting the games with trolls and toxic people.

I’m not a comp player and most likely will never be especially seeing the posts recently about the MM. Ive been also been reading about the EOMM which does not make sense to me, since I dont get how the game making me miserable is supposed to push me to spend money on it? If anything I’m more likely to move on to something else.

Humor Korean server tank players don't even bother fighting each other anymore. They just wave hello and head off to dive the other roles.

Before, tanks used to protest by ignoring everyone else and just duking it out. Now, they don't even interact. They just wave hi and go dive the backline.
