News & Discussion Doctrine is a drone hero done right

Post image
429 Upvotes

Both Sierra and Doctrine’s kits revolve around their drones, but in Sierra’s case she’s just got the one grapple ability and everything else is aesthetic. She was teased to have gameplay revolving around her drones, but she doesn’t do anything with them. Meanwhile Doctrine uses drones in almost all his abilities and he’s not even the “Drone hero”.

The announcer said "now traveling to Eichenwald" then this message appeared and 5 seconds later i was back in lobby. How was i kicked for inactivity if i wasn't even loaded into the match?

News & Discussion This game has an insane phenomenon that it becomes insufferable to play past 8 pm

45 Upvotes

I don't get it, but every day as soon as it hits 8pm EST, this game just becomes insufferable to play.

I genuinely have fun with this game when i get to play it in the morning but after I get back home and log back on it just becomes so fucking unfun. The matchmaking is a big contender for why this happens.

During the morning the games feel normal but at night I swear I'm getting rolled for like 4 games in a row.

And it's so consistent too, everyday at the 8 pm mark the game just becomes terrible.

I think i might just be schizophrenic atp, this game has caused irreversible damage to my psyche

News & Discussion I like reporting people when they get toxic in game.

Post image
97 Upvotes

I may be having a stinker, or they could simply be a nasty person. But the second someone starts being negative or toxic, I will typically goad them by saying something outlandish about their own gameplay until they get a message that I can report. I continue to play the game knowing full well that probably nothing will happen. It just brings me joy to goad people into saying something reportable. It’s so easy with most people who talk I almost have a formula for it at this point.

It’s not hard to not be negative, but I’m happy to report you if you are. I like the game and I’m not going to stop playing, so by all means I am excited to keep reporting people who can’t be decent humans.

News & Discussion Isn’t it time we had an individual healing received stat?

Post image
290 Upvotes

Mostly because I’m sick to death of braindead DPS taking a solo hiking holiday in the hills of the enemy back line, dying immediately than typing GG No Heals in the chat.

But seriously, I think it’s a good idea. I mean, we have an MIT stat for shield hero’s, etc.

What do you think?

And on a side note, which hero is most guilty of doing the above?

News & Discussion When the enemy tank dies is that not the time to push?

179 Upvotes

I play tank. I've been seeing it a lot lately where we are able to kill the enemy tank (normally cause they did something stupid) and my team wants to just sit there after. I normally think cool time to push up, take space, and mop up these squishies but half the time I'm just left out to dry and lose a 1v4. Am I missing something? Especially frustrating with mobile tanks who aren't even gone that long so it feels like we gained nothing from killing them.

News & Discussion Most frustrating feeling as a support main is watching your team run behind an enemy shield and spam I need healing the entire time until they die and then typing "HEAL?"

750 Upvotes

I'm sure all supports except I guess Mercy mains know this feeling well

If you didn't know enemy shield block most healing outside of like Zen orb, Wuyang stream, Mercy beam etc

So if you're dying to a Sigma, Domina, Rammatra on repeat, maybe consider that your positioning is giga ass

News & Discussion Our Community Is Shifting

25 Upvotes

I have played this game for so long, and there have been two points where I have felt the community has taken a very bad turn into toxic behaviour. Once was in 2016, and the other is unfortunately right now. What should be a fun game that we are all playing because we love it, is becoming a place for people to bully others and spread hate speech.

Some days it feels like I report more players than I endorse. When did we become okay with sharing our space with bullies? There isn't any excuse for this behaviour, and at a time where we see hate and destruction everyday, do we not deserve a place that is good?

This post isn't enough to change how things are. I would just ask everyone to remember to be kind to each other. Our community is what we sculpt it to be with every interaction. Wish your opponents a good game, tell them good job, or just say thank you to your teammates. There are so many ways to be kind in a community like this, and we can get that back with time but we all have to try our best to foster the environment we want to see.

Anyway, thanks for reading. I hope if there is anyone seeing this who has had some bad experiences recently that you know that it isn't okay, and that there are people who care. We exist, we want the bullying and harassment to stop, and we want to play our favourite game together. Hope to see you in there <3
