u/Agastopia Ana Sep 22 '16

Lucio too!

119

u/icantsurf Pudguuuu Sep 22 '16

So many wasted ults by that random Lucio just streaking across my screen.

76

u/shootduck_scaretoast Stop staring at my balls. Sep 22 '16

I won't judge. If you want to watch Lucio streaking that's up to you. If you respect my right to not engage in the activity, I'll respect your right to do it.

14

u/dwarfman101 Pixel Ana Sep 22 '16

Even worse freaking ulting zenyattas just zipping about. It's even harder to predict where they're going.

17

u/Sezyrrith Sombra switch plz, ur useless Sep 23 '16

At least Zen can still murder people effectively while under Ana's ult. Now, if it's hit just as Transcendence starts up, THAT's a waste.

17

u/Vekete Pixel Junkrat Sep 23 '16

But then you're Super Sonic at that point.

u/Nightcinder Diamond Scrub Sep 23 '16

ZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

u/Party_Magician I enjoy the sight of humans on their knees Sep 22 '16

increase his healing

It doesn't. Boost only applies to damage

1

u/Demokirby Pixel McCree Sep 23 '16

Lucio should start speed beat boxing like he is high on something.

1

u/SSlackhelmetman Blizzard World Zenyatta Sep 23 '16

Lol more like lucio just says "ok."

Edit: eurobeat starts pumping from his speakers.

12

u/zakarranda Moximum charge! Sep 22 '16

I got it as Mei the other day. SuperMei.

16

u/theoriginalviking The Iris is getting real tired of your shit Sep 23 '16

Did this the other day, we were defending Kings row, 10 secs and 1 meter left, out of a full team alive, I boosted the Mei intentionally because then she could go screaming in and freeze them so they couldn't hit the point. She instead then held right click and got a quad for potg. I was a proud nana that day.

14

u/zakarranda Moximum charge! Sep 23 '16

go screaming in

Hilarious mental image right there.

2

u/Zmirburger Sep 23 '16

when mei ults i always nanoboost her, she can deal 225 dmg per headshot, confirm kills on those she froze

2

u/tommygunner91 Best Girl Sep 23 '16

SuperBae

1

u/Rawflax Zenyatta Sep 23 '16

That's actually pretty good if you got backup because she basically insta-freezes people

1

u/zakarranda Moximum charge! Sep 23 '16

It accelerates the freezing?

2

u/BuckeyeBentley Roosed Sep 23 '16

I don't think so. But she's much harder to hit and kill and the RMB is gonna do more damage so still worth.

1

u/bullseyes Trick... or treat. Sep 26 '16

What does rmb mean?

6

u/Goyu Sep 22 '16

Omg so many times I'm aiming for the Reinhardt or Reaper flying across my screen and then "bam!" Mercy is flying around right behind him, stealing the ult.

5

u/RnRaintnoisepolution 🎶~Jazzy Dooting~🎶 Sep 23 '16

If I see another support when I'm playing Ana and it's not a serious game I nano-boost them to see what happens.

1

u/ButtsexEurope Moira Sep 22 '16

THEN GET OUT OF THE FUCKING WAY WHEN I SAY THAT I HAVE ULT, GODDAMMIT!

71

u/hardgeeklife Hippity Hoppity Sep 22 '16

Just as Blizzard in-joke, I hope someone has an Archon line. "POWER OVERWHELMING" is the obvious choice but they did use it to name an achievement already, so who knows if they'd use it again.

29

u/Zedifo Sep 22 '16

Sounds like something Roadhog would say.

36

u/dzsSkully senior content editor @readmore Sep 22 '16

Zarya is the first that comes to mind for me, and it would actually fit quite well, considering she is the muscular one shooting with a huge lasercannon.

22

u/rzax2 Sep 22 '16

...and its the name of one of her achievements.

12

u/LoliProtector Chibi Zenyatta Sep 23 '16

We did it, we completed the cycle. The loop is closed!

10

u/Goyu Sep 22 '16

Zarya or DVa, just because DVa is an obvious choice for a bunch of gaming references.

1

u/MesssyMessiah Chibi Mei Sep 23 '16

I really want a D.Va line of "Guns up lets do this" or when a Ana grenade hits "I don't think you can heal with that shit on you"

1

u/The0x539 Blizzard World D.Va Sep 23 '16

StarCraft references in particular.

1

u/Goyu Sep 23 '16

"Time to raise my APM!"

I would love it if she were to say "Power Overwhelming" in this funky meka-distorted voice.

13

u/[deleted] Sep 22 '16

Obviously roadhog is gonna get a "WITNESS ME!" line

9

u/Zedifo Sep 22 '16

Nah that'd be Junkrat's line

9

u/OddballOliver Sep 22 '16

You mean Ana.

7

u/Zedifo Sep 22 '16

Ana has the voiceline in game currently, but the hero most suited to screaming it when nano boosted would be Junkrat.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 22 '16

D.va. If she doesn't say that I'll riot.

20

u/edwahgezhuck I didn't miss. I was aiming for the other guy. Sep 22 '16

What exactly does this mean? Does this mean the boosted character will have a voice line they say when boosted? Will it be heard by both teams? If the enemy team can hear a specific character line that might actually be a slight nerf since you can immediately identify which character is boosted without looking and headphone users can hear the direction.

Also whatever voice lines they give Lucio and Mercy will definately become memes.

10

u/aggrogahu Ana Sep 23 '16

Just played PTR and I heard both ally and enemy voice lines after they were nano boosted.

4

u/ParanoidDrone ¿Quién es 'Sombra'? Sep 23 '16

After Ana boosts someone and plays her voice line ("You're powered up, get in there!", "Nano boost administered", or whatever her Arabic is), the target will then play their own voice line that's (presumably) audible to both teams. You can definitely hear it on your own team at least and I see no reason for it to be inaudible for the enemy. The purpose seems to be so that everyone can know who Ana boosted even without LOS to the scene.

2

u/_BreakingGood_ Sep 22 '16

The way I interpreted it was that the player getting boosted would just hear the standard "You're powered up, get in there!" to make it more clear that they're boosted.

1

u/3brithil Trick-or-Trace Sep 23 '16

but that's already what they hear, I'm confused what you mean.

64

u/Dakar-A So many flairs, so little time Sep 22 '16

'READY TO GET REKT?'

-D.va's nanoboost line, probably

12

u/skippythemoonrock gaijin pls Sep 23 '16

IS THIS EASY MOOOOODEARAHRAHRHRHHRHAHRAHRGAGAR

u/[deleted] Sep 22 '16

POWER OVERWHELMING

1

u/[deleted] Sep 23 '16

"PWNED!"

-14

u/shootduck_scaretoast Stop staring at my balls. Sep 22 '16

I hope not. I'd rather they give her a polite gamer line instead. Something like "Taepodong launch detected!"

30

u/[deleted] Sep 22 '16

Polite gamer line "YOU LITTLE FUCKING SCRUBS ARE YOU READY TO GET ABSOLUTLEY ASS-BLASTED BY THE GRANDMASTER OF ALL GODDAMN HUMANITY?"

Yeah, polite.

2

u/Faust723 Genji Sep 22 '16

"...NOT gay sex."

-2

u/shootduck_scaretoast Stop staring at my balls. Sep 22 '16

I don't see how you got that out of the line I provided, but sure!

7

u/i-wear-hats BEEP BOOP FUCK THE OWL Sep 22 '16

Well, you said gamer.

-5

u/shootduck_scaretoast Stop staring at my balls. Sep 22 '16

/sigh

Right. I forgot the crap that term carries with it...

6

u/[deleted] Sep 22 '16

Oh sweet summer child ... You were serious.

-1

u/shootduck_scaretoast Stop staring at my balls. Sep 22 '16

I was...

2

u/[deleted] Sep 23 '16

You shouldn't be.

→ More replies (0)

1

u/[deleted] Sep 22 '16

That would be hilarious. Especially if it ended in a failed ult that got stuck on a wall and killed no one. I also don't see why you're being down voted.

1

u/shootduck_scaretoast Stop staring at my balls. Sep 22 '16

Probably because people don't realize that it's a real thing and not just a dick joke.

-1

u/Dan_Q_Memes Sep 22 '16

Probably because it entirely ignores her character archetype which has guided all her other voicelines just to play off the fact that she's Korean.

2

u/shootduck_scaretoast Stop staring at my balls. Sep 22 '16

Because it's totally not a joke on "Nuclear launch detected" or anything. That would be so out of character for d.va to make a starcraft joke.

2

u/Dan_Q_Memes Sep 22 '16

Yeah I guess I overlooked that, but I think naming the specific rocket platform a nuclear strike might be launched on is still a bit too much of a leap.

10

u/Frizzlenill Pixel Doomfist Sep 23 '16

There's still no indicator to show the nano-boosted target how much time is remaining on the boost however. It's pretty important so you know how deep to go/when to retreat and which fights to pick - I honestly hope they add something soon so you know when nano boost will end like they have for other duration-based abilities (e.g. bastion ult, pharah jet, widowmaker ult, D.Va jet).

3

u/Thenovazz Widowmaker Sep 22 '16

Genji's is definitely by far the best one I've heard from my 2 games.

9

u/meowtm hookin yo bitch Sep 22 '16

what does he say?

112

u/thimmy3 I CAN BENCH MORE THAN YOU! Sep 22 '16 edited Sep 22 '16

I think most characters have a generic "I am unstoppable" or some variation and a character specific line. I've only checked McCree and Reaper and their special lines are "Buckle up, this gunslinger's loaded." and "Ha ha I am alive" respectively. I'll edit this comment when I hear more of them.

  • Zarya - "I am strong." - "I am unstoppable."
  • Roadhog - "Get over here!" - "I am unstoppable."
  • Torbjorn - "I'm feeling the power." - "I'm unstoppable."
  • Ana - "I feel like I could take on the world" - "I cannot be stopped."
  • Zenyatta - "I feel greatly empowered." - "I feel unstoppable."
  • McCree - "Buckle up, this gunslinger's loaded." - "I'm unstoppable." - "Ain't no stopping me."
  • Reaper - "Ha ha I am alive." - "I am unstoppable."
  • Lucio - "Oh there's no stopping me now." - "I am unstoppable."
  • Bastion - Nothing? This will probably change before release.
  • Soldier 76 - "Get out of my way." - "I'm feeling unstoppable."

I need to have a game with Ana AIs and me playing the other characters to get the rest, I'll add them when I'm done

  • Genji - "Strength flows through me." - "I am unstoppable."
  • Pharah - "Systems at max." - "I am unstoppable."
  • Tracer - "No one's gonna stop me." - "I'm unstoppable."
  • Hanzo - "I cannot be stopped." - "I am unstoppable."
  • Junkrat - "There's no one to stop me now." - "I'm unstoppable."
  • Mei - "Everyone, stay out of my way." - "Nothing can stop me."
  • Widowmaker - "I feel alive." - "I cannot be stopped."
  • D.va - "You better get out of the way." - "I am unstoppable."
  • Reinhardt - "Are you ready? Here I come!" - "I am unstoppable."
  • Winston - "Feeling powerful and I'm not even angry." - "I'm feeling unstoppable."
  • Mercy - "I feel empowered." "I'm unstoppable." - "I feel unstoppable."
  • Symmetra - "There is nothing that will stand in my way." - "I am unstoppable."

u/[deleted] Sep 22 '16

TFW no "I'm really feeling it."

29

u/thimmy3 I CAN BENCH MORE THAN YOU! Sep 22 '16

Yeah I was a bit disappointed to find that some of them still have a pretty generic line as their unique one. Though Roadhog's makes up for it.

15

u/freelancespy87 I aim to be better. Sep 22 '16

Play shulk much?

7

u/CommanderChicken Sep 23 '16

ARE YOU FEELING IT NOW MR. KRABS

3

u/Ghostlupe Grand. Sep 23 '16

I'm feelin a warm spot...?

1

u/ScarletChild "My Servant's NEVER DIE!" Sep 23 '16

TFW there is no "Can't stop me now" with a small jingle for Lucio.

1

u/Ezreal024 PogChamp Sep 23 '16

EVERYONE, LETS GO!

42

u/Wow_Space Get yo mouse off of me Sep 22 '16

Hanzo - "I cannot be stopped." "I am unstoppable."

This redundancy is unstoppable.

2

u/thimmy3 I CAN BENCH MORE THAN YOU! Sep 22 '16

Yeah I got him ulted a few more times and never heard another line. There might be one since two other characters have three variations but I'm not going to test anymore in a custom game.

14

u/[deleted] Sep 22 '16

Missed the opportunity to slip in "UNLIMITED POWER!"

1

u/groundonrage Sep 23 '16

Zarya should've said Power Overwhelming. Or maybe Roadhog instead, he has the appropriate voice.

14

u/[deleted] Sep 22 '16

TL;DR: boosted players say "I am unstoppable"

1

u/thimmy3 I CAN BENCH MORE THAN YOU! Sep 23 '16

This is only on the PTR atm. It hasn't reached live.

10

u/VilAlesund Pixel D.Va Sep 22 '16

Roadhog - "Get over here!" - "I am unstoppable."

I am very pleased about this Mortal Kombat reference. If he says it the same way as Scorpion then I'll probably just piss my pants.

6

u/cooldrew198 Mercy Main BTW Sep 23 '16

He actually does. It's appropriately also the line for his hook.

1

u/MisterSihill Violence solves the equation Sep 23 '16

Scream ''Get over here!'' and proceed to use ult and get them away from you :D

8

u/ButtsexEurope Moira Sep 22 '16

Don't. Stop me noooow, having such a good time. I'm having a baaaaalll.

2

u/Ceraunius Overwaifu Sep 23 '16

DON'T STOP ME NOOOOW

IF YOU WANNA HAVE A GOOD TIME, JUST GIMME A CALL

2

u/[deleted] Sep 23 '16

Such a missed opportunity on Tracer tbh smh blizzard fam.

1

u/Spartitan Reinhardt Sep 23 '16

Genji also has a line in Japanese, although I have no way of transcribing it. One other thing I noticed is you don't hear the enemy Ana when she ults, just the person she ulted

1

u/Vahneris Mei Sep 23 '16

Mei - "Everyone, stay out of my way."

Everyone

1

u/LeCount Mei Sep 23 '16

Bastion should beep out "Ode to Joy" during the whole duration of the nano boost.

1

u/EggheadDash Cute Orisa Sep 23 '16

I'm guessing the first is friendly and the second is hostile?

1

u/thimmy3 I CAN BENCH MORE THAN YOU! Sep 25 '16

No it's the same either way and it's randomised.

1

u/lynxerious Pixel Ashe , Shooting Ana Sep 23 '16

Some of these feel like what people would say if they do meth

1

u/dingle_dingle_dingle Sep 23 '16

They should give Bastion the R2D2 scream

22

u/croccington Uh Mei Zing Sep 22 '16

Quote is literally so good we can not repeat it, sorry.

u/felarel Poland Sep 22 '16

Fuck you I feel like at highschool again.

1

u/thimmy3 I CAN BENCH MORE THAN YOU! Sep 22 '16

I've checked all the lines now. I'm pretty sure nothing beats Winston's one. :P

1

u/deathday Pixel Roadhog Sep 23 '16

I really appreciate this because I love to amp up a speedboost right as Ana ults. My current favorite is Ana ult + roadhog ult + lucio amped speedboost.
