From what I've seen so far, pretty good. Mystery Duels are a fun way of challenging your friends, and I do like the 3v3 format for playing out a lot like a skirmish.
Haven't seen the other modes in action yet, nor have I seen Oasis (is that even in the PTR yet?) but overall, it's a good addition to Overwatch
Some people say today because the PTR was taken down. i have a feeling it will be after season 2 completes so people get 1 more week to play her before season 3 starts
on a side note apparently im top 3% D.va on NA for comp according to overbuff anyway.
OH also patch is live now
have fun.

If the 1 vs 1 is anything to go by then I suck as everyone but Pharah, D.va, and Torbjorn

I think its because I've been playing quick play and actually just choose whatever appeals to me without fear of some over zealous person demanding some other role.
Not that I don't like Lucio... but playing him 99% of the time in Comp so man babies will shut up is getting kind of taxing.

Speaking of Zenyatta, does anyone have any tips for improving as him? I like to play balanced teams comps in all game modes, and in quickplay and the comp level I'm in I can't really rely on my team to be good enough for me to use Mercy or Ana. I play Lucio up don't like playing Lucio on defense. I understand how the charge-up attack works but have trouble doing anything with it, I waste ults, and I play too aggressively. Any tips for making him less of a pain to play would be appreciated.

1) Team chat. yell out who has discord.
2) dont bother with rmb unless you are contesting a spot and are expecting people to turn corners. its better to drop a discord and normal shoot people vs not having discord and pelting them with multi balls
3) you can afford to play aggressively if they have no real way of picking you, like a handsoap or widow or roadhog. if you take damage go sit in a corner till you regenerate your own shield back.
4) hold your ulti for the enemy most will telegraph what they are about to do.
thats usually what the better zens i play with do.
I LOVE the D.va buff, ever since that dropped I've been getting mostly silver or gold elims. (however many of those are legitimately my final blows idk but I'll take it)
Also, does killing a teleporter count towards getting a PoTG? I got one as D.va today with my ult when I killed it and 2 people, when an enemy soldier had just gotten a legitimate triple kill

Is it just me or is Genji never, ever fun to play against? I don't care if I'm obliterating him or if he's murdering me, his kit is seemingly designed to reduce the fun everyone on the enemy team has.
For thirteen years I had a dog with fur the darkest black. For thirteen years he was my friend, oh how I want him back.
Good Genji or Tracer are almost unkillable, likely to mow you down before you even notice them. Hanzo on the other hand never feels like he got you through a skilled shot, although the player might be.
After the patch 76 is a beast, capable of melting tanks with ease. Anyway, with so many flankers I moved away from playing support character.
After the patch iv also noticed a gak ton of torbs
Its actually obnoxious as my team has no idea how to deal with it anymore since we never play against them in ranked :X
Genji will have issues with a good winston or Rein
just gotta stick to the supports, wait for him to come in and just start swinging. it takes two hits to end him and if he isnt paying attention then he will die. if he deflects then he isnt killing your teammates maybe.
Yeah Zarya is still pretty strong even with her nerf

Thank you. I was wondering about that.

3v3 is a lot of fun, but 1v1 ends up feeling stupid whenever you get a non-DPS character. Certain characters like Mei and Winston are boring to 1v1 with, and Torb/Bastion/Symmetra all encourage turtling over being agressive. For me at least the worst duels are Lucio and Zarya, they all take forever even if you are playing offensively.

I dunno i find 1v1 to be fairly fun.
for Torb i find i run up to the top center and drop a turret quick. aggresive turtling, then carfully peak around to find the enemy and bait them to chase. gets them most of the time.
same with sym
though for her it ends up being who can connect the laser first.
I think my least favorite was zarya though.
on a bright news i dropped to 2600 and climbed back to 3k for the end of the season. whooo.
I finished my placement matches just in time for the season to end. Went up against some really good teams towards the end so I ended up going 6/3/1 and got a rank of 2502.

Is it sad that rank in game has become a measure of just how "good" someone is according to some people? Apparently my 2502 rank means I suck according to the 2710 ranked person

This will happen in practically any game that features a ladder system; anyone below you must suck, according to gamers.
One of the many reasons why I hate the majority of the gaming community.
Funny thing is it was one of my team mates in a 3 v 3. He was accusing us of being terrible and not pushing with him as he rocketed across the map as Pharah, where he kept dying repeatedly far away from me (I was Mercy)
