lucio is the most obnoxious hero in the mode thank god
me when there's a singular hero in the game i cant absolutely shut down by buying one braindead power 💔
What power are you talking about?
i have a viable build lol
It's fine but doesn't do much until at least round 5
the double ability powers are not only the least creative and laziest powers in the game they're almost always the most obnoxious ones too
double suzu double lucio boop double coach gun god please be a t least a little creative
u mean the power that singlehandedly kills off some of the best heroes in the mode
its like a gust of wind
round 1
Shoot the Lucio 
hes too goated
dva genji reaper all just cant engage if there's a lucio with half a braincell with that power
ya reaper becomes a non issue if you got a lucio
tiny hitbox high movespeed self heal some of the best mobility in the game
That's reapers fault, not lucio
unless there's a goated hitscan lucio is the easiest hero in the game
and it is not close
i'd also rank him as the best hero in the mode 
There's like 8 auto aim powers in the game, he gets turned off by so many characters taking one power/item
no it actually very much is lucio's fault
soldier's shitty visor power and cass's very situational roll autoshot
that's 2 and they both are mid against lucio
esp if he has any semblance of what cover is whatsoever
sorry genji has the right click one
that's okay against lucio but genji wont finish the kill bc he gets double booped
Orb. Soldier rockets. Soldier visor. Zen auto-aim. Genji right-click (barely counts tbh). The eighteen massive hitboxes
they need to give that power some drawback like it increases boop's cd to 6 seconds
makes lucio have 1 hp
the zen auto aim that only procs if lucio is below 35% hp when zen is aiming his medium speed projectile at him
(one of zen's worst powers)
also double boop is still good against the 2 tanks that get kb resist items 
not only is lucio forcing tanks to spend money and an item slot just bc of one of his abilities
the boop is hurts their momentum and prevents queen from getting the swing off if you have any semblance of timing
also literally just get liquid nitrogen
real
more than nullifies dez' dampeners and is genuinely just good in general
Take an item shut down a character is not at all fair, the moment you learn how to play around a Lucio in your match he can't play the game. There's so many anti-mobility items in this mode I genuinely just don't think you understand the matchup
doesnt shut him down btw
It does if you're doing anything other than hard-meta builds
literally just makes it so lucio doesnt absolutely shut down that particular tank and make them unable to play the game in its entirely
also just pick liquid nitrogen to break the tank's legs and make them a free kill 
do u know how oppressive lucio is to play against as tank
even with queen's dampeners i stopped playing that hero bc boop spam is so damn oppressive
K.
and when i see lucio in my lobby i switch OFF of my 8 hour 76% wr dva build
i just straight up dont build it bc i know that hero makes me useless
and go entirely for an anti-lucio build
bc that hero is so damn oppressive
i go for early cybervenom liquid nitrogen just to make lucio relatively killable
coming FROM a lucio player btw
doomfist playerr
not as much in ow2
i did not know orisa ult reached the air
aswell
i thought it was purely who ever was on the ground
Here's my list of brig powers for stadium next season
1- Primary fire deals knockback
2- Primary fire can heal allies for weapon power
3- inspire also gives some overhealth when triggered
4- Whipshot sets enemies on fire
5- Whipshot can knock enemies into walls dealing extra damage
6- shieldbash explodes on impact with an enemy
7- shieldbash can be used in every direction
8- shieldbash stuns enemies for a short duration
9- Shield has increased health and also deflects stuff
10- Packs give overhealth aswell
11- Rally lasts longer
12- Rally gives speedboost to u and allies
1 - no
2 - maybe
3 - uhh careful with that
4 - sure
5 - that's just her perk doesnt really change her playstyle much but sure
6 - reminds me of the junrkat interaction i think that's funyn sure
7 - uhh i guess? does this mean like u can bash in a direction ur not facing or you can bash up and down or what, first option sounds kinda boring second option sounds like it could cook
8 - mm idk if this mode needs cc creep
9 - umm maybe with some tuning maybe she can deflect for a few seocnds by pressing reload
10 - i guess
11 - lazy that could probably be an item
12 - that could cook
i think there'[s a lot of stuff you could potentially do with brig like there's some of the things they did in mirrorwatch where whip pulls, shield taking a certain amount of damage empowers her next bash
didnt her packs also give a damage boost or smth
6 that's what I was going for
7 yes up and down and stuff
april fools had the shield bash throw
i think there's a lot of potential for stuff like
after brig uses shield bash her next few swings are empowered (for like 3-4 seconds)
then maybe it can knock people back
and maybe that knockback does wall damage
although that could fuck up her combos like if u bash someone and swing on them maybe they get knocked out of your swing range which is kinda oops
another idea is giving her whipshot smth like a grapple
if u whip shot a surface brig gets launched in that direction
After u bash and swing them you whip them anyways so who cares
More space
i can see it being a feed if used improperly but maybe there's a way around that
I was thinking about that, but if you try to whip someone, and you miss, you get launched backwards and they get away
i mean if a genji is on your support and you think you can kill him but ur swing gives him the space he needs to disengage that kinda feels bad
actually that's an idea if brig whips a surface she gets knocked in the opposite direction
so like u could whip shot the ground to super jump up
I doesn't have to be a massive boop, maybe like a pharah rocket or something
my favorite brig perk is the one where shield bash gives her move speed afterwards so i feel like there's stuff that can be done with that
that sounds more like smth that could just be an item though
when you shield bash they explode and die instantly
any enemy in your inspire radious gets a discord orb and gets burned alive
brig can fly
brigs whipshot deals 1000% more knockback
Have they added back Dva’s heavy missiles yet?
imagine they make brig’s inspire radius cause burn damage = to half the amount or something
whatever it is I’m probably only gonna play brig next season
solo climb from rookie to legend
They removed legendary loadout yesterday, I’m guessing the changes to the perk is messing with the power or something
I hope whatever they fix on them doesn’t affect them too much, I was having fun melting Soldiers, Ashes, and Reapers-
I’m sure it’s just a bug fix
Hopefully, I might run a test or 2 with regular micro missiles, a thought went into my head involving them and that power that gives you a second charge of them
I’m just gonna wait for the power to be added back
I’ve compared the damage with and without and it’s a massive drop
Which is why I’m gonna do my test: basically I’m gonna see if that power lets me treat it like a double barrel shotgun and fire both charges at once
Oh yeah
It doesn’t
So for comparison abt legendary loadout vs base missiles
Legendary loadout does 166.5 damage
Base is 153
Except base dps is 93.5
While legendary loadout is 166.5
Because it fire all of its missiles in less than a second
Yeah I feel like an item to increase how fast Dva fired the base micros out would help them a lot, it won’t do much for heavy missiles since as you said they get fired out in less than a second.
Weapon speed makes them fire faster btw
Huh-why weapon speed??
It makes them come out faster
I couldn’t tell you why it works that way
So every 10% or so gives you can extra missile per second
And I’m guessing Heavy missiles still wouldn’t scale well with weapon speed due to how quickly they already fire out all 6?
they do actually. If you get onslaught you get 8 missiles total with it. 7 come out per second. So I really couldn’t measure the speed on that one
It sounds like a Rein Blazing Blitz situation where you needed 30% attack speed to be able to get a fifth fire strike out of Blitz once you shatter: needs a fair bit of investment and might not be worth it in the end. At least for heavy missiles, Micro Missiles might be able to make more use of it due to how many it already fires out
it’s really not worth building for since there are barely any good items that give speed. However, early rounds it’s def worth choosing speed over atk power if you have to make the choice between the 2
Yeah there are like 3 items that raise both attack speed and AP? Tommy gun, wrist wraps, and Vanadium Injection
ya i think
not a lot of items give atk speed across the board. kind of a shame :/
its a fun stat
Yeah, in terms of the missile build though, Tommy gun would probably be the best one to grab, Vanadium being a possible option if you see yourself easily building bomb up but not being able to do much with it
oh i always choose tommygun
its op
I need to grab Tommy Gun more on Dva, I remember my first game with her doing a WP build, I grabbed Tommy Gun thinking “oh DM is an ability, so in theory every time I brought DM up, Tommy Gun should activate” I ended up getting rid of it next round cause I didn’t see much of a difference-
yeah it doesn’t activate with dm
it’s still really strong. boosters is such a short cd you can activate it a lot
single stat characters ruin the fun of stadium aka cass and ashe
not because they are broken... although that is a big part but because they are boring to play against and as
Are you referring to AP or WP Ashe
both tbh
if a character has best use from stat Aor B they are boring
Hybrid characters are more fun to play against and with
wouldn’t ashe not be a single stat char then
I think cass needs more AP options
and ashe needs less ap options
make bob scale with WP
and give her less fire options
not nerf the fire
Yeah Ashe has reasons to boost both AP and WP at the same time, especially with infrared sights
jsut the sources
yeah but the most effective way of playing them is boring
ALL AP
is not fun to play
it is not fun to play againts
So you’re saying that playing a character optimally….which is a build that can be easily countered with 1 item…..is part of what ruins Stadium?
not ruins it
but makes the game stale
You said ruin on your first sentence
I think cass definitely
ashe jsut needs less fire
she has variety but most ppl dont build it
I think making ashe scale less with AP and more with WP would be more fun
key word
FUN
…not every character needs to have that much variety, it’s fine to have characters that would rather focus on 1 thing-
I dont mind current ashe
but every ashe basically builds the same
and that gets boring
My stance is
characters that mainly benefit from one stat are boring
and hybrids are more fun to play against and as
as in characters that build both stats at the same time?
or are able to
basically
variety
soldiers
and juno
genji and rein
characters that can do both
they dont have to
but they can
dva is agreat example
the point is you can
you can go melee
firerate
you have options with dva
you can hybrid your builds
ap wp at the same time
i disagree. i think she needs more options to incentivize not building ap every single game
or firerate melee
she has one item that helps ap
rockets
you can build dmg
just go firerate
I dont run rockets on dva all the time and I do well
my point is
her kit enables that
cass doesnt
reaper doesnt
they have two builds max
and that boring
they neeed to give more powers that incentivize it
supports can go either way
and that what make them fun
dps meta is just cass ashe
ap wp
boring I sleep
I dont care about OP
or broken
they are just Boring
key word
Mercy and Lucio:
BORING
those are the exception
zen
and lucio can also go both
ana
ana can do both
and zen can do both
ap zen r
with other options
ana with heal sleep
No the fuck he can’t, not unless you want to troll your team
you can
ap wp hybrid
more stacked to ap
this is how I know the meta is cooked
everyone runs the same stat
no one tries to be different
I run 35 max ap on any build
I dont need all that extra especially since no one runs armor anyway
I just brrr
ded
zen can run it both ways
You are genuinely trolling your team if you think going WP on Lucio works
but tbh ppl just dont care
it does
there is an item that heals for the dmg of your weapon
I said hybrid
to be fair
I never said only wp
And tell me, how much damage does it do at base?
Tell me, how much damage does it do at base?
so build like 15% and your fine
idk bro
build lucio hybrid
I buy ap
but I also build other things that make the game not stale
idk
grow a brain
have fun
this is why we needed unranked
everyone just builds the same
you are proving my point
how many matches have you played where both teams didnt have mirror support @neon galleon
tell me how many games you win where there are flyers with a mei junk
telll me how many ppl in your lobbies run hybrid builds
you cant
MY POINT WAS
you don’t think we’ve actually experimented with builds?
no I dont think youdont
I just hate the idea of ppl not listening
I said hybrid lucio
bro thinks WP lucio
like bro
I said hybrid
my point is
most if not all character in stadium are hybrids
and the ones that arenty
are so boring to play agaisnt
and I hate it
I want cass and ashe to have more with the off meta builds
I want mercy to have funny ap builds
I want this game to be fresh
FUN
KEY WORD
FUN
DIFFERENT
you cant sit here and tell me running into the same 4 meta builds isnt boring
you cant sit here and tell me WP cass is fun to play into or fire ashe is fun to play against
its boring
and repetitive
and that will kill this mode
not balance
repetitive bull crap
the worst thing a game can do
is be boring and samey
no one likes a cod clone
because that game is already boring
most if not all supports and tanks have varied builds... I would like it if certain characters who didnt did... If you agree than say so
if you dont
then I dont care tbh
cass is boring reaper is eh and ap ashe is boring...
everyone else is ok
i agree with your point
but not all of your examples
I get the dva thing
I still think not every character needs that much variety, some characters are fine being simple, and I’m blocking him purely because I don’t want my screen bombarded with 50 fucking messages that could have been combined into 1
but I think most if not every character could have more Expression
What’s some of the best builds for Dva in stadium
fair point tbh
they’re disabled rn
My friend said Dva feels bad rn
And all the builds are bad but I didn’t feel like it was true
bro couldve just ignored instead of block tbh
but with legendary loadout being disabled you cant use her best builds rn
Legendary loadout is Dva’s best build but it’s been disabled right now due to I’m guessing the changes to the equivalent perk fucking with the power
Why did they disable her stuff
because it was bugged
They should’ve just fixed it instead of disabling it
They disabled it the same day of the patch, they probably don’t want a bugged power running around and messing up matches
What’s the next best option
I just think every character should be able to do a wp build and an ap build. And they don’t have to be equal in power. Just have it not be completely troll
ap junkrat:
ap cass:
ap mercy:
yes
ok ap moira is good
I get cooked so bad with ap cass
It seems fun on paper
But it never works
AP Moira is only throwing if the enemy team has a Dva
I tried AP genji. apparently dragonblade scales with WP
why the hell does blade scale with wp
Ap Genji is his worst
Bc it’s melee
Idk
Ig dash is too
its an ability though it feels weird
It fits better for his builds
It scales with WP, AP, and Melee damage, which makes Genji the only true hybrid builder
Honestly
they would make powers related to ap
idk. All of the builds I made that I actually thought were good all used it
OH
thats how you would fix it tbh
But for Genji you only wanna build into wp
Blade scales for WP and AP??
Bc Ap is worthless
I don’t remember what scales higher but most likely weapon power
There’s never a reason to build full into Ap tho
Since dash build
Is horrendous
interesting ok. 25% melee item is defo worth it then for a blade build
bc thats just a flat 25% buff on blade surely
No they scale the same amount
honestly more things should be like that. scale equally with AP and WP.
Unfortunately it doesn’t make a difference with Genji
Since you’d build into wp
It’s cool he does both tho
like....
what if moiras right click self healing scaled with AP
Like I thought I was messing up with Genji’s Ap build until I realized it was just bad
not unless you get laceration
laceration slash
never stop slashing
here orbs do
It’s cool but if the enemy doesn’t die with that it’s over
her ult does too
Like dash build is fully reliant on you just killing time with one dash
Here is a funny thing about that: everything item that increases both AP and WP is significantly more effective on Dragon blade than anything else. Phantasmic Flux? Secretly a 20% damage boost and 30% lifesteal boost on Dragon Blade. Superflexor? Secretly a 35% damage boost on blade since blade actually fucking triggers it to stack
Her orbs do so much damage
Even if it’s the single slash from the deflect power
yeah
armor also negates her orb dmg
I usually rock phantasmic for Genji I wonder why these things aren’t just stated
If it wasn’t intentional it would’ve been patched
Funny thing is, it’s specifically AP that isn’t stated to affect Dragonblade even though it does
I didn’t know that actually
Yeah I noticed
I was so confused on that when I first started
And then I saw on a YouTube video blade scaled with both and I was like “what”
Yeah a random Genji I played with and told that AP doesn’t work on Dragonblade had to set me straight-
Wait a minute I just realized something I need to check now-
Ok either the bots can’t get slowed down or Dragonblade can’t trigger liquid nitrogen
the bots can get slowed
its unique to her orbs
Probably the latter
I mean amor make everything hurt a little less
it doesnt
make sure to hit alt when in the armory
you can see what is affected
armory isnt always accurate
true
Anyway I checked how much attack speed helps out with micro missiles, 70% attack speed gets the missiles to be at exactly 153 dps, which definitely isn’t worth it, meanwhile 70% AP and 20% attack speed gets the dps to top at about 214.20
did you use the stadium training room code?
also junkrats mines and trap along with tire scale with ap
so yeah junk is a hybrid character
Yep, the items I grabbed were onslaught, cybervenom, champion’s kit, Tommy gun, and Vanadium Injection so technically it’s at 80% AP, though it actually being at 70% only drops it to 202.30
its a terrible build
trap build is entirely dependant on enemy movement. and junkrat has nothing to enhance mines
ok be careful with that. the dps calculator isn’t 100% accurate.
theres like 1 item which does anything to mine and u have to throw mine into the air
Swapping out onslaught with a different 15% boost….actually keeps the dps the same-
Which adds like 57 more damage to the burst for micros-
yup
BRother mines do so much dmg and
do they though.
at 100% AP. your mine is dealing 240 dmg assuming no falloff
which, there probably will be falloff
nope
u could have a mei build where a single icicle does that
or freja
who has better mines built into her gun lol
here let me show you the flaw with the calculator. compare 20% wp on dva to 20% speed. You’ll get different answers.
and to reach this point enemies will already have scaled health a lot
more importantly doe. mines dont have any good items/powers.
you combo them
idk
this is the probelm with ppl
they think they can
which is ineffective
one shot this and that yet you die to one shots as well
its an rng fest of goobers
each character has kits and they mix well which allows for deeeper lvl of play
yet everyone just puts mud on a stick and acts like they found the meta
like bro its brain ded thinking rounding out your builds is key
not just dmg
is this actually true
moira 3 grasp build is actually so good
but hybridizing and utilizing synergies
you deal SO much damage and healing
its so wild to me how ppl are just clueless
this is fact
i feel like it's hard to compete with cyber venom liquid nitrogen orb spam
I think firerate wp moira go brrr
if your team is good
IF
that is a big ass IF
yah exactly
i mean wp moira is prob one of the only things that can reliably check genji if i had to guess
rather than relying on rng matchmaking
wp moira is reliable bc its entirely ur own skill rly
not just genji. wp moira denies alot of heroes
dva especially
would dva not be able to just burst moira down
she would
dragon blade scales with weapon dash is the only thing that scales with ap... actually fun fact genji can scale his healing with ap too make the ap super busted
since slash and blah blah blah
she can. wp moira is mostly about positioning
if you can force fade without boosters i feel like she just gets mauled by legendary loadout
you dont walk into their team
nah genji can diff moira
idk only in low elo is moria good against genji
but also they kinda just keep buffing her
for no reason
moira only counters genji in low elo she is still never a fun matchup for him
regardless of elo
I mean in stadium
not bad at all
I prefer to fight moira in stadium
the constant buffs she is getting is so annoying tho
even in stadium i feel like moira is the only supp genji can actually struggle to deal with
she hasnt had a nerf in like 12 patches
well that is because money
is dps gained more money it wouldnt matter
nerf money gain for supports and the game changes
no for sure. a good genji can deny most builds
liquid nitrogen moira can absolutely out maneuver and out sustain genji
definitely
and because money
she can get it fast
not much to say there
I mean dash deflect counters it tbh
it's insane to me that moira and mercy have dodged cash generation nerfs for so damn long
yeah
nerf their cash
like kiri is a balanced state now
can we nerf the other two problems
maybe dva
tbh i dont even think they should nerf their cash gen
just buff everyone elses
its more fun ending r1 with like 14k
fair
genji is the only dps that can farm it fast
oh and ashe
but thats because she dumb
dva is tricky tho bc she's absolutely the most polarizing hero in the mode
i feel like every dva i see is either really ass or really good
nah
dva is fine
shes op
she bad
that means she in a good plave
if a character is a real problem everyone agrees
if a character is bad everyone argues
dva was considered bad before everyoen started rolling the missile build
i still feel like she's one of the onyl heroes in the mode that can actually make you fee llike wow there is literally nothing i can do
if a character is balanced everyone doesnt know for sure
yeah DM
I want an item to counter DM
i think specifically the dm missile power
make it so I do dmg just a reduced amount
can be super duper oppressive against heroes like reaper cass etc
especially in late game
makes you feel like u gen cant play the game
yeah
because like ana cant exist with dva
and the dm eats heals
like against dm most of the time it's like okay if i just play around cover i can wait out dm
so like its poopoo
but with that power i cant physically react to the dm of my first shot and 1 reaper shot that late in the game will trigger the power
so u just get blown up without being able to react
counter point
lets all melee build dva ah team comp
just gran gran running it down with her punch
lmao
they dont know i run melee dva
lmao
everyone quick melee
I think there are counters to everything at this point and stadium makes counter the counters way easier
getting one shot buy divine or conduit... beamed buy armor and reductionfield... burned to death martian mender.... idk cant win a 1v1 buy lifesteal boom
yeah like i think double boop lucio shits on dva really hard
but if dva specs into liquid nitrogen cybervenom lucio's legs just get broken
and he gets punished a lot more if he tries to peel dva
idk the biggest pain point of stadium for me isnt OP characters its just running into the same builds all the time
personally I just want cass to have dead eye build that makes him launch in the air
or like give him a power that makes flash bang the old predator missle
or fun idea make it so he gets a new power that gives him an AP punch
like he punches ppl and they get knocked up
and like take more dmg
idk something fun
i need to remember to run cushioned padding against ap ashe
get martian mender and you just out heal it also
martian mender my favorite item now
passive healing that is constant
i just never know what to swap out for it
like is it really more worthwhile than phantasmic flux
should i get it instead of gloomgauntlet on dva or should i get it before my burst damage items on genji
nothing is more worth it than flux
that item is goated
not even op either
just a good item
more survival items need that
like goated stats
they could've given junkrat so many cool powers to change up the game 😭
like, trap that moves, mine that applies burn, idk
Tru
i wanted a chomper trap like mario
Less launcher ones and more goober mine ones
the trap tries to bite people
omg yes
Chases ppl but can be destroyed
roadhog hook but its junkrat throwing a trap chain
its just weird how like half of junkrats items/powers are about throwing himself into the skybox
Yeah it goes around looking for ppl but can be shot for counter play
when half of the stadium roster are hitscans??
omg. replace his ult with like
3 baby riptires that just run off and try chase people
also its funny u mention cass. idk what the point of playing him in stadium evne is
u can go into workshop and set his damage to 200% and get the same experience
yeah I was thinkin that would be nice
I think more stadium powers should revolve around the ults
like every character should have one power
I think the cass punch power would be cool
or an item that makes cass fly after using his ult
like he uses high noon and a petal platform spawns under him
something like that would be awesome
bro what
a flying cass using deadeye
would be terrifying
nah
give him a lasso
it makes sense
a lasso for pulling ppl in
or to keep them rooted
oh yeah
that would be cool actually
if they add venture to stadium they should give her the ability to kick rocks at people
like sigma
Why the fuck is dva even in stadium
Every build of hers gets fucking bombed into oblivion
The nano build, bomb build, punch build, and now the DM barrage build
What’s next they’re going to change the lava to only being there for half a second like a fucking speed trail
my rein got mad at me for not healing enough
when all his charges where directly into the fucking backline of the other team T_T
at somepoint he pinned a kiri clone
freja AP isnt too bad i guess
but you gotta really focus on getting that AP as high as possible
ya
freja so boring in stadium
all her powers are just shoot more bolts
or shoot a gust of wind
oh my god i've solved it ana is funny as hell in this mode
What did you solve?
move speed ana incident
Pretty sure they’re just fixing a bug on it, if I were to guess, the changes to the perk is fucking with the power equivalent
They changed it from 350% to 325% dmg for missiles and from 100 mit dmg to 150 mit dmg for the other power
They keep nerfing everyone except the ones who need it
Like wtf do you mean dvas getting high dmg from that build meanwhile I use it and while the dmg is high it’s comparable to literally every other fucking player and is sometimes worse because it requires people shooting ur dm
@proven knot has a very very good dva build
That….really isn’t a whole lot considering how many missiles countermeasures can let you fire out? Heck remember Micro Missiles scale faster than Heavy Missiles the main advantage is that Heavy Missiles gets its full damage out significantly quicker than Micro Missiles
I’m just pissed at any dva nerf because they just keep coming
I can't remember the exacts but you basically just take what makes DVa strong
More than any other tank
So basically burst diving
Legendary payload round 1
Get two tap Tommy and then mark of kitsune asap
R3 take face tanking
Which just got a huge buff btw
66% more heals than before the patch
It's called the Throws Approach which is
Funny
THEY HAVENT EVEN ADDED THE POWER BACK
WTF
Why the fuck did they include it in the announcement and then not even add it back to the fucking game
the legendary loadout nerf was barely anything
I don’t give a fuck. I just hate it when they know her. I’m tired of them Nerf her into the ground.
Every single viable build that she’s had, they’ve done something to
Uh, the only thing it mentions on the hot fix for me in terms of Dva is the countermeasure nerf
its in a twitter post
Ah, also for some reason Yappicus sent me an 11 message insult dm….because I apparently commented something on his YouTube???
Just tried out the 150 dmg one and omg it’s so much worse
Barely any missiles are sent out
And without the legendary load out it’s a useless fucking power
You legit have to get a team that does everything right for dva to be viable against anyone but dva
im just waiting for legendary loadout to come back before i q dva again
And doki slam is so bad I can’t
You have to be high enough but then you can’t see and sometimes it never actually activates
Tbh most of her powers are ass
i think the real issue is that ap gets so much more than wp for her powers/items
wp only gets 1 power so it just ends up being weaker
a lot of her powers aren’t bad in a vacuum they just don’t get the right support to make them actually shine
what one is thaty
oh that ones booty
wasting a whole sleep dart lol
i think how i would change dva in stadium is
get rid of statboost (too many dm powers, basically does what facetanking/wide dm does) and get rid of countermeasures (will always be either too strong and obnoxious to fight or too weak and does nothing)
and add something to synergize with weapon power and something else to synergize with toki slam
it was good for like a couple days when it was bugged
it used to combo w/ the sleep dart dmg item triggering it twice
it made sleep dart do 200 dmg
they fixed the bug, then nerfed the power 
*it was only 200 dmg without the AOE sleep dart power
I really wish I wanna be in All-Star
oop- YOU IN HBOX SERVER? O3O
Nnnnone of it looks very convincing
What can i use to increase lucio healing
AP
okay yeah i got to 110% and it was strong
the only problem is that AP freja doesn't build much money
which hurts because its a late game build

i was a tryhard in smash back in the day
The nerf still didn’t stop me from winning a game as Dva but I think I can feel the countermeasure nerf, either that or the enemy team didn’t pump a lot of damage into my dm-
Accidentally got my bomb over the wall near the spawn on Ilios Ruins and killed both their supports-
OK, YOU ARE HACKED
wait
oh ya countermeasures is gutted
i never used it tho
That’s what the code said the damage was
Yeah it definitely hurts the missile build but I’m still finding that you can get a lot of missiles out
yeah just that number contradicts the “patch notes”
the twitter post
Well the number is at least close to being accurate since it took 3 volleys of it to kill Reaper
What powers do you specifically grab anyway cause I’ve been grabbing LL Countermeasure, Facetanking, Ultrawide. Plan on swapping Facetanking and Countermeasure around and sticking with Mastermind’s Mitigator for a few more rounds if I find I’m taking too much damage and not getting healed up fast enough heading into round 3
the nerf should have put it down to 158.25
leg load -> facetanking -> double missiles -> matchup flex
Ultrawide I feel like would be the general pick for that build, I don’t see much else you could slot in instead of it instead of maybe express detonation if you find that they’ll get caught out by the faster explosion. Party Protector could be good if you need that extra overhealth to get back into your mech
Nebula conduit I find is a lot better on Dva than I first thought thanks to Facetanking, do wish we had another way of speeding up DM’s recovery time though
Haven’t tried it. facetanking is usually all of my sustain
pretty broken power
genuinely surprised it got buffed
I just had a match against Orisa, Cass, Mei, Mercy, Kiri. Was getting shredded in between my dm’s for a few rounds despite still doing well but getting Nebula Conduit allowed me to better survive those in between moments since that 15% prevented damage doesn’t seem to tick too well……now I’m wondering something….does Cushioned Padding count it as a negative effect?
Omg it does-
Cushioned padding actually gets rid of some of conduit’s tick damage-
The tick must count as a negative effect and I’m guessing the devs didn’t make Cushioned Padding exclude Conduit’s ticks
I didn’t take the entire damage
Granted because I was Dva and it was against the rocket bots it was like 3 damage I saved buuuuut that does mean some interesting things can occur
if legendary loadout is really 122 damage now
Oh it probably is cause my Dva’s mech keeps making a tiger roar and the health regen sound keeps starting up periodically
i need to go back to the drawing board with my buidl
Not fully, cause the nerf messed with how much the heavy rockets scaled due to how the devs made them stronger
ok i gotta check this out when i get home
Base Micro Missiles with 80% AP and onslaught did 337 damage. Heavy missiles with the same thing did 301
Adding 20% AP to the original 80% makes Micro do 374 and Heavy 334
ok i saw a screenshot of the armory
the math isn’t correct
350% to 325%
should not be 122 damage
So either the text is lying or they accidentally put in the wrong number in the code
Welp either way let’s put in a bug report, see if it gets them to fix one or the other
Alright I made the report
Welp I’m about to fight a Zarya as Dva, I wonder how many missiles I can fire out with countermeasures
Blade scales off of ability power and weapon power
I didn’t realize that till just now
Now they’re trying YouTube videos?
i got a question
in stadium how can i deal with rein
i win every game besides ones with him in it he walks over my entire team
i even buy the perks that do extra damage to shields but it doesnt work
...It really is bugged
i just checked
Who do you usually play as and what kind of Rein do you usually fight
i play as any dps
usually cass, solider, reaper, or genji
i play with my friend and she plays dva all the time
and i feel like i fight aggressive rein players
they just stay close to mid range
swing their hammer
So like Hammer or charge Reins?
hammer
i get hit with at least 3 earthshatters a game
and once we can kill him the team just dies after but the problem is killing him
Alright if you go rocket build on Soldier get Liquid Nitrogen, any rocket that manages to hit him will slow him down and that can really screw him over
Cass….honestly go full WP and fan the hammer on him, if you can keep him down that way quickly enough he’ll have a harder time scaling out of control
Reaper has 2 options: completely ignore the Rein and kill the rest of his team, or go tank buster and specifically get the ghosted power
If you pass through Rein with wraith and you have the Ghosted power, his movement and attack speed get slowed by 30%
As for Genji…..why are you trying to fight Rein as Genji-
i try to go around him to get any squishy but bc my team cant push forward its often a 1v5 and then yeah
but yeah i'll try this
any advice for dva vs rein
same thing?
A Hammer Rein is going to attempt to bulldoze Dva over, either try to keep him at bay with boost, missiles, and liquid nitrogen or help the diver kill the rest of his team
No matter how you slice it, try to stop him from getting as much money as possible
The longer it takes for him to build up to a significant amount, the easier it’ll be to kill him before he can scale too much
If it’s a fire strike Rein Dva will be able to outperform him at range and Reaper and Genji can have a better time fighting him up close, if it’s a charge Rein bait him into a bad charge and unload on him before his team can save his ass, and if it’s a shield Rein……literally ignore him and kill everyone else first. Shield Reins are stubborn when it comes to dying and most I face don’t build a lot of damage.
They’re basically just trying to be a brick wall for you to smash your head against in vain
Alright I’ll see if that works thanks a lot
Watch out for fliers though, those fuckers are creative, in both getting kills and getting into bullshit spots to survive long enough for his team to get back to the fight
it feels like im matched up against people that are way better than me
i cant do shit on dps
i felt the same way
i say just consistently try different builds and characters and try to see what youre doing the worst on as your main
when i play support its fine
as long as im not playing ana i can win
but no matter which build or dps i use i just feel like im getting carried every game
I’m gonna say this right now. I FUCKING hate Stadium from the bottom of my soul.
playing stadium is hell but its the only mode i find fun anymore
but i cant even play dps anymore
But also, kiss your excitement goodbye. You will have no joy in this mode.
Because HOLY the matchmaking in Stadium is honestly shit. In fact, I GENUINELY THINK matchmaking doesn’t even exist at all.
they really do need to fix that
Also IF I were to get a survey talking about Stadium saying if it’s fun or if I should recommend to new players, I would honestly not hold it back, go for the kill and instantly just say “no…it’s not even fun for newcomers”
if somebody was new to overwatch stadium would just overwhelm them
In fact, I actually did say in chat “Either they actually fix Stadium, or I’m probably not gonna play it at all”
when im playing support it feels fine but on dps its excruciating
Tank is also a Russian Roulette
Sorry. I know it might sounds frustrating for me, because I know…I am frustrated after losing 4 consecutive games after 2 wins: a 4-1 and a 4-3
freya needs a nerf to her dmg at range
it should have
fall off
idc
both her bolts and her regular fire dont have fall off
She need 90% fall off at range
idc
its stupid how she can do it from safe distances
like absurdly far
in the past 24 hours i am 3-7 in stadium
have you ever considered you are building wrong
like buying armor or sheilds so you dont pop like a balloon
lifesteal items to help you not die
yes
Hey I need a good Ana build anyone got one? I kinda want a sleep build or like a nano build
SLEEP DPS BUILD
sleep regimen + no scope needed
noooo they nerfed slowball
I just wanna game a stadium after my reaper told me that I was shit and then I went into an MVP and get the most kills in the entire fucking game
And my play the game was a 5K
what character where you playin
can someone mansplain to me how im supposed to reach allstar because i am. struggling
20 minute support queues just to lose is making me crazy
i was on a fresh acc and matched with ASPEN
😭
Just find a good dps and run mercy
play over a period of time
supp q are infinite
bro my soldiers doing gun build and the other soldier is doing helix rocket build T_T
PC?
I mean for PC, it’s fine. But boy on console, nearly all of the times they are not holding your hand.
problem is i cant find a good dps that likes playing stadium
There are tons of good dps in stadium lfg always asking for a pocket check and you’ll find one
i struggle to find good dps in stadium too, my gf and i got to all star with her playing tank and me playing support, but now that we are here we need a good third to comm with and so far none of our dps have been good enough to add a friend and continue playing with lol. she can also play good as dps (her main role) but its easier to carry on tank with me giga healing her
oh brother played against the same guy days later bro wasw NOT happy about me
I’ve never played against or with Ana in stadium. is she really that bad?
Just finished a game of stadium against rein and not only did I win
I got mvp
The most dmg in the game
And 82 kills
With only 7 deaths
Her most viable build is sleep spam, and since you can turn her sleep dart into a sleep missle, it isn't even hard to hit consistently
It’s bad she had a power that makes her sleep dart 500% bigger
They need to fucking nerf JQ
There is literally no reason the tank should have the most heals in the game
waiting 10 mins in queue and going through all 7 rounds just to lose is the worst feeling ever ,, smth needs to be done abt these queue times 😭
Maybe it’s just that dva has awful powers
Compared to all the other tanks dvas are so fucking ass
who wins a rein with hammer build or rein with fire strike build
lowkey i can already tell if where gonna win just by what my teammates buy
Depends on teammates and their aggression levels
well i can bet you
hammer build wins most the time
since fire strike isnt a aggressive build
and dumping money into just ability power
Cause a Firestrike Rein only truly needs to get impact burst for optimal fire striking, meaning they can get some powers to further boost fire strike, boost up charging, their shield, get fire strikes after a shatter, or even some hammer stuff of their own
i aint realise this but the biotech maximizer works on every orb moria summosn
summons
Plus a Firestrike Rein can get both cybervenom and liquid nitrogen to just absolutely cripple the hammer rein
well
geuss what my rein didnt get
either one\
i think fire strike could work if you play it not like how you play rein normally
It can be with dampener grip, making it to where all of your hammer swings speed up both your cooldowns
true true
but you would need something to survive atleast
unless you got like a healbot moria build
on your team
but most morias go ability power for dpsing
You could also get the heal barrier and the extra barrier health to allow yourself to get effective healing with it, like I said Firestrike Rein only truly needs Impact Burst
Technically speaking Firestrike Rein goes online sooner since that build doesn’t need as much to start cooking while Hammer Rein still needs a chance to build their stacks up
true true
i never see people use blazing blitz
it looks like it would be fun if set up properly
And let’s not forget every Firestrike build is also a charge build in disguise
Oh I always grab it as my second power for Firestrike Rein, it just gives your shatters significantly more value whether it hits someone or not
ahh
i wish i knew how to play rein
sounds fun
Imagine the enemy Rein blocks your shatter but instead of being able to attempt to get in your face he has to worry about the 4 incoming Firestrikes
true lol
i wanna try it but
ion wanna get flamed by my team if we lose
also i dont know how to play tank
and i dont wanna touch dps anymore since they nerfed slowball for mei
Think of it like this: you need to cull a fair bit of the aggression that regular Rein has
ahh
when stadium came out my fav rein build was the barrier build
until people started doing hammer build
You basically become a poke brawl hybrid with a very mean poke that can be weaved into brawling situations if one occurs
As for playing tank, there are 3 main things that generally apply to them: making space, peeling, and being the frontline. Each tank has them at different priorities but those are the 3 main points I find with tank in the game
whats peeling
Basically using your character’s stuff to protect your teammates
So in Rein’s case, charging down a flanker fucking with your supports or getting between your team and a Dva bomb and holding your barrier up
Lots of characters that aren’t tanks have some peeling capabilities but you’ll see it talked about a lot with tanks
I HATE PLAYING WITH SIGMA AS MY TANK BRO
sigma is not good in stadium
i wish they didnt add sigma into stadium
i wait like 7 mins just for my tank to play sigma
and doesnt even use any sigma meta builds which are the only good builds he will have
since almost all of his powers are doodoo butt
i always get the sigma that picks the melee power
as a first power
There’s a glitch with zen in stadium
His ability item mind sharper only applies once and after that you don’t get the 15% ult charge

nahhh ur chilling dw gang
Okay
idk why they love this channel
Hopefully I don’t get a virus
make sure to enable 2FA <3
I think I do
He can be, I’ve seen Sigmas do good damage and be hard to kill, the problem is he is the first true poke tank added to Stadium so a lot of people playing Stadium are in a readjustment period when they choose to play him. You can’t just go in guns blazing with him like you could the other tanks that are in Stadium
the duality of man with new hero introductions into stadium 😂
ive seen so many different comments saying each new hero is good/bad
did ashe's dynamite get a buff?
I feel like it was always good but its been one shooting on round 1 lately
and its kinda unfair
What do you mean it’s one shotting?
as in with one dynamite its enough to kill you
It shouldn’t be, Tracer has a fair shot at surviving a round 1 Dynamite
well it seems like its even better suddenly
which is weird cause they didnt touch it
Something else is happening cause I did a test either in the practice range and Tracer was able to live a 10% AP Dynamite
stadium matchmaking still broken?
when are they finna fix the bug that lets you see what the other team is picking?
@marble fractal someone posted scam things again
More scamming scammy
I lwk wish I could play more stadium but my attention span is so bad that I can only handle about 10 minutes of constant dopamine
Like the games are so long
I know I win most of them but its like
taking forever
kind of like working out
shut up
you know damn well bush did it
over a hour long stadium game
this is the final round
it lasted 28 mins
both tanks where using super immortal builds
and i was using transendence build
That’s…either from that power that lets her give overhealth to anyone she is healing that is already at max or it’s from the overhealth she grants herself and whoever she rezzes I think-
it was a really fun game
but really stressful
the entire time i was just farming ult charge off the dva
cus the bots are made to only post in lowr traffic channels
its wird
where it says can group with 15/10/5 divisions and its going beyond those
yall seen tokki slam dva?
its infesting my games and its op as shit
all survivability w 300 damage goomba stomps and baby dva never dies too
3ZGGRP - Round 1 - 5:27
YXSG94 - Round 2 = 5:12

if anyone has an HOUR to kill and wants to laugh.
My soldier went 77-77
Holy shit
Soldier is genuinely easy baby mode in this, even at pro there's almost always one on each team and if a team doesn't have one they lose 80% of the time. Its just so lame. I wish I had the specific mind virus that made running the same overpowered build over and over again fun. Man I hate that character
same build tho? i never see the same exact build in soldiers
some going chaingun wp, or ap helix, wp/ap hybrid, ap helix with biotic fields. and rarely the guy trying to run damaging biotic
And of course certain characters and items can man handle each of those builds, Dva in general isn’t kind to Soldier, and Cybervenom + Liquid Nitrogen basically kneecaps damaging biotic
I be winning every game on soldier running a weapon speed/power build lmao
Kinda crazy how in the beta test this wasnt really a problem but Ig since some time has passed better strategies accumulated
dva mauls soldier its so funny
I can see a fast acting Genji or Orisa with spin deflect quickly making that kind of build backfire on you. Heck a Countermeasure Dva could probably also do it depending on how much damage you end up pumping out before you let go of the trigger
