    I'd call it shield meta. Brigitte has done a lot to quash the dive heavy meta. Hanzo got re-worked and feels pretty great, and you no longer have to deal with scatter arrow. Big Symmetra changes...

    I'd call it shield meta. Brigitte has done a lot to quash the dive heavy meta. Hanzo got re-worked and feels pretty great, and you no longer have to deal with scatter arrow. Big Symmetra changes are in the PTR as well as a new grouping / player rating system that is going to help avoid toxic people.

    I think it's in a good spot. Zarya+Rein is really strong again. People are using more shields. There are a lot of interrupty things happening.. haha.

    There are a lot of toxic people. The group system and player notoriety system they have in the PTR right no is going to be great, I think.

    It's hard to get the communication and team skills from Mystery heroes, but it is a great way to practice mechanics of heroes you wouldn't otherwise play. I play it fairly frequently, too. Nothing like asking people to group in QP until you have a six stack of cooperative people, though. Getting everyone on comms makes it a different game entirely.

    They still have it rotating in the arcade, I think? Anyway, competitive DM is essentially the same thing, you're just farming small amounts of comp points out of it. I think it's a good change!...

    Bahaha, no worries man. Ignore the haters. Quick Play is the best place to learn. Playing the hero you want to practice isn't an offense you can be banned for, so Blizzard has your back there....

    Bahaha, no worries man. Ignore the haters. Quick Play is the best place to learn. Playing the hero you want to practice isn't an offense you can be banned for, so Blizzard has your back there. People can definitely be salty and toxic, especially when they feel like they're being held back. It sucks.

    But! I've also had some really awesome games with great folks. I think the new grouping system that is in the PTR right now is going to have a huge impact on game toxicity. If you haven't checked it out, you should! They have even implemented a way to commend players at the end of a match for good sportsmanship, good teamwork, or good shot calling. I think it's going to encourage better behavior overall. The grouping system allows you to set a minimum on the 'commendment' points, so you can have a better chance of finding a group of cooperative players.

    I think these changes are good news for Sym mains, and definitely a better direction for her.. but I can hear the community's cries already.

    There is a bug in the PTR that worries me. If you spam her left click, the initial damage hit resets and she does a massive amount of damage. It seems off/lazy to me that this bug made its way into the PTR.

    I realize the PTR is for testing, and this will probably get patched out.. but they posted that they were testing these changes internally months ago, and this is the kind of thing that seems like it would get patched out after playing her for 10 minutes.

    I hope that this is just a red herring to cool down some of the community backlash that always happens on a new hero adjustment by way of 'making their voices heard'.. because the alternate points to lazy ass character adjustment. :( I mean, the same thing happened with Moira and Brig. Shouldn't this be part of their initial tests? Looking at you Blizz!
