The sad thing about this new balance is, even though Genji was too strong (at the 75th skill percentile, everywhere below that the real average genji is dead weight), the new meta will be less interesting.

I'd much rather see buffed counterpicks (a flashbang buff for mccree perhaps) and a tame nerf for genji instead of touching his ability to get around. The ult length nerf is fine, the walljump nerf is gutting the character entirely.

Mei is already deleted from the game. The only thing she's used for is first point defense on hanamura to trap people inside the choke.

Perhaps that's how it plays out at your level, but for me playing Mei on pretty much any map with interior chokepoints is a guaranteed headache for the enemy. Anubis, Hanamura, Numbani and Dorado are good candidates. Mei's strong suit is isolating one enemy and killing them without much problem. If you put her in a chokepoint you can just wait for a group to come in, place a wall to trap one guy and kill him. I almost never place a wall to block damage or to prevent people from making progress, the main use of the ability for me is to trap single enemies. She's also great at wasting time which is useful on control and payload maps.

By the way, anybody else really really hates the control game mode? Not because of its inherent mechanisms, but because of how completely random the outcome seems to be unless there's a huge skill gap. A number of times I've seen the counter go to 99% for one team and then the other team took the point and won.

Also, relevant to my above post

I like how it says "you" for junkrat even though that hero is the epitomized OTP. In my experience, even Hanzo instapicks are more likely to change hero than Junkrats.

Been picking Zenyatta as second support more and more. The discord orb is insanely powerful.

Welcome to the low ranks. There is no escaping here without a group. Had to stop playing ranked myself because solo queue in low rank is miserable, no different than quick play other than you cant have 3 hanzos or genjis.

Well, my experience is the opposite. Playing in a group tends to match me with much tougher players.

Better vote for an indep that actually represents some of your main concerns than vote for one of two dreadful options that you're going to hate either way. If you vote for the loser, your vote is wasted and you are inflating the popularity of something your don't like. If you vote for the winner, why did you even bother voting? This election doesn't sound like it's going to be a close call (then again, Brexit wasn't either).

This is why voters should be asked their full preferences by ordering all the candidates instead of just choosing one.

Heskey, what do you think about religious profiling from local police? In that I mean to use religion (and some religions specifically) as an indicator of potential crimes.

Or they have different taste and doesnt care about you? 

Don't care about me depends on the person. What I mean is that they don't care about playing bad games. Taste is an empty word if you know only a handful of games.

I'm with Vibe. Despite sinking down to 47 due to holidays (I hope), even my dabbling use of Genji seems to cause great confusion in the other team. Pretty much every time there's a Genji somewhere, it really feels like nobody knows how to play against him. Of course, that's also probably because I'm playing at trash tier and they rarely even see a Genji getting picked.

Another thing, does it feel to anyone else like the game is heavily balanced against premades? I play most of my games with a friend and we get like 35% win rate but when I solo queue, I win all the time. He's arguably better than me at the game, almost always gets more medals and does the job in general.

Some pay2win games are commercial success but they are those who balance the negative impact of pay2win with solid gameplay.

Hardly. Pretty much all social/mobile games that make any money at all are the worst kind of pay2win garbage, and yet remain hugely popular. I asked or overheard these people in their 40s that never really played anything before candy crush and they either are completely clueless or simply don't care.

2/3 of the time when you catch a pokemon, the game freezes and you get nothing. Given that you need to catch like a gazillion to progress in the game due to the leveling system, this is a bit of a problem.

After this happens and you restart the game, more than half the time you then need to keep retrying ~5min to get past login errors.

1/3 of pokestops work as intended, 1/3 of the time you need to try them 5+ times before they work, 1/3 of the time they don't work at all.

It's not an appeal to authority, it's a line of reasoning that is basically unassailable. Societal collapse in hostile or receding environments is only aggravated by political division.

I enjoyed saying "What a save!" in chat way too much.
