Oh yes new tank, as a tank main this brings a smile to my face :3

Can't wait to try her out in PTR, here is hoping I can join it...

So how's everyone enjoying Bastion meta?
My opinion on it can be summarized into Remove Ironclad

I'd say to give it some time before jumping into conclusions, we're not used to Bastion being viable ever since like... ever. Basically we gotta adapt to the new Bastion and to what he brings to marches now.

Now, he could be broken, but from my experience with a bit of coordenation he can still be taken down, just not as brain-dead easy as before when he was countered by nearly everyone.

I can dig that...one of the biggest issues with Bastion's Ironclad is that while it makes it tougher for his Sentry Mode to get sniped out before he can get out...it also allows Bastion SO MUCH FREE ROOM to basically fuck up everyone else.

I have had times where Bastion would instead of trying to engage in Recon Mode, straight out goes right into Sentry Mode and blow me away even though I'm shooting the crap out of him in the process. Even with the massive spread in Sentry, he's still able to play sniper at times and can fuck up characters something fierce if you aren't looking out for him at all. IT DOES NOT HELP if he's supported by a Mercy or Ana which is probably why his Ironclad took another hit in PTR

I'm really liking Orisa so far, should've expected this from a tank main but she is really fun and engaging. Her shield and the mini-graviton surge reminds me a lot about Mei, more specifically her wall, because it requires really good positioning and stuff.

She feels very viable imo, her biggest flaws (big target, large crit box, no mobility) are balanced out with what she can do with her abilities, plus a gun that is really good. Here is hoping she goes live soon.

So this month's coin toss result is for Ana to be the hero that gets wrecked. Not looking forward to people telling me to switch fron Ana because she's as viable as D. Va. Thanks Blizzard.

Hmmm I'm feeling conflicted about these Ana nerfs... on one hand she is still pretty OP even with the nerfs she's gotten over the past few months, on the other hand I think they are going a bit too far. I'd say the nerf to the healing grenade is understandable, but the nerf to her primary fire seems a bit much.

Also yay more Sombra buffs, hopefully teammates wont jump at my throat when I pick her (though thankfully this has decreased over the past few months).

Nerf to Orisa's gun is pretty much innefective, her gun clip is still huge... not sure about her other nerf though, her Ult doesn't last Very long and isn't so hard to destroy it.

The main reason Ana's damage got nerfed is that to be frank...she was stupid powerful.

Getting a sleep dart in any fashion meant you was pretty much dead from even Ana which is pretty dumb in and of itself. 80 damage is absolutely insane considering Zenyatta CAN do the same amount of damage but he cannot heal as well as Mercy or Ana in exchange, Ana should not be able to do lots of damage and heal just as much as it creates an imbalance when she can even deal with flankers pretty easily if you are a beast Ana.

The damage nerf across the board is honestly justified.

Uh, you are aware that sleep dart isn't exactly reliable while you're being attacked by a flanker, right?

You say that then like 2-3 others say the opposite... so it's the skill of the Ana vs. the skill of the Genji/Tracer.

Once again I'm just feeling conflicted, but I can't deny that as a healer that she is the best one right now, and as far getting flanked as her goes she also has her grenade which essentially makes her a 300HP hero (and may also prevent the flanker from getting healed if they are close enough). I play her a lot and I can't deny how very strong she -still- is, I think she is still gonna be viable as her overall kit is still strong but she won't be as mandatory as she is currently.

Also from those balance changes, it's heavily implied they want the tank meta gone, Zen's buff is gonna be something else.

Also another Sombra buff I've been waiting for, they are gonna update the PTR and make it so her hacked healthpacks can be viewed by teammates:

Oh yes thank goodness this is finally becoming a thing, it's such a bummer when teammates don't know about the hacked health packs :l

Did Symmetra get some kind of bullshit buff recently that I missed?  Her primary fire seems busted as fuck all of the sudden.  I've seen a bunch of Symm players today playing her like a tank, just running straight into the line of fire and taking out 2-3 people at a time with just her main weapon and no turrets.

Her range got extended, but after that, nothing else was adjusted.
Which means it's very easy for Symmetra to get a ton of kills if someone can't kill her quick enough.
