So watching these ESL and whatever other competitive streams, why do you just see people spamming melee strikes constantly? Not reloading, no enemies possibly anywhere near, no anything. It seems like it's just making noise and blocking their own view or even fucking with their own movements a lot.
Could just be APM spam

APM spam seems closest I could see but I've seen several cases of it actually hindering the person doing it so I dunno. Guy climbing wall as Hanzo just punches in the middle of it and falls back down and has to climb back up again, stuff like that.

Edit: Ana looks decent but really looks like she'll solidify the 2-support > 1-support meta for the foreseeable future.

As a lifelong member of the "APM spam but at the same time forget to build supply depots" club I can attest to APM spamming and logic rarely interact

So instead of having bad Widows on my team that can't hit shit, I will have bad Anas who can't hit shit and wont get healed!

Ana looks so sick! that grenade has a lot of potential to fuck up lucio's healing in close quarters, plus making nerds go to sleep is pretty dope.

Looks like she does like 95% of reapers health in 3 hits... so ~80 damage a shot or so?

Lastly, there will be balance updates to "quite a few of the heroes" including Zenyatta getting more shields and moving faster during Transcendence and D.Va's Defense Field is now a toggle with a meter.
I really like the D.VA change.

Zen -- +50 shields, ult to 300 HPS from 200 HPS (not sure why it was already nutty healing) and faster movespeed during Q
*Designer says now you can pop Q from the back, rush to who needs help and then rush back again. So you don't just get gibbed right after Q.

DVA -- Matrix w/ energy bar. Analog used was Pharah's hover jets. [still not sure if depleting makes a cooldown occur what]

Mercy -- Ult usable while moving now. Recharge rate nerfed. Damage boost buffed.
*Designer said Mercy actually had a poor win rate.

I'm really glad they are adding more interesting support hero's. Only bad thing is we still have to hear fucking Sombra rumors every time a new patch is near.

I like to keep all my buttons and keys moving at all times because as everyone knows the coefficient of dynamic friction is always less than the one of static friction so by keeping everything moving all the times I can really cut down on my reaction time.

Definitely agree, i hate playing any of the current supports, but i would definitely play pharahs mom 2:^) nfc who Sombra is though lol

Oh shit that's a really good change for D.VA, that can make her shut down ranged waaaay more efficiently isntead of just blowing your load on 2 pharah rockets lol.

Why doesn't the official site list passive aiblities on the character page? It doesn't show Genji can double jump / wall climb but he can... reaper reaps souls etc.

It clearly shows Ana has a passive movement ability to get on the arches of anubis, but the character profile doesn't reflect this. I just noticed it doesn't show ANY passives for any characters lol

Yeah the passives show in the F1 screen in-game but not on their website. It doesn't even list whats an ultimate and what isn't. But a sniper based character without some way of obtaining high ground would be pretty stupid.

The way this new character talks and looks reminds me a lot of the old woman sniper in Fury Road. I wonder if that's intended by its creators.
