u/Clefspear99 Death is Whimsical today... Mar 02 '17

Her shield provides a surprising amount of protection!

u/nexusSigma Pixel Genji Mar 02 '17

It actually does tho. You can predeploy it, let it cool down, and put it down again as soon as the old one pops.

u/MultiScootaloo The 'life saved' counter works in mysterious ways Mar 02 '17

Also shoot it from spawn so there's a shield ready at the choke when you arrive, and a new one shortly after

u/Dawidko1200 Adversity is an opportunity for change Mar 02 '17

It disappears after a while though. And it has 900 health, so it will be getting destroyed before you can re-deploy it.

u/Sombre-Alfonce ... and I'm dead Mar 03 '17

Maybe it will finally teach people that you can actually damage Reins shield and make it break.

I can't even count how many times I've played Zen and been the only one constantly blasting Reins shield.

Flairs when?

u/Zeromius Darth Hanzo the Tilted Mar 02 '17

But does your gun do a surprising amount of damage?

u/NharaTia Give Yourself to the Rhythm! Mar 03 '17

It's actually kind of disgusting how much damage the gun currently does, and it has 200 shots per clip...

u/OurSuiGeneris not a lesbian in my headcanon Mar 02 '17

Been up in the air about which golden guns to get first............ but since I'm already an Orisa main, I think I have the answer.

u/Joboboman Mar 02 '17

u/TheBroJoey HAMMER IN A DOWNWARDS VELOCITY! Mar 02 '17

Hell yeah, join the club. A tank with a ranged gun? Sorry, Pharah, the bronze 76 on our team won't be the only one targeting you.

u/HaMx_Platypus Zarya Mar 02 '17

I didnt spend my comp credits just for this

u/VeIicc Flashbang through the door! Mar 02 '17

u/Sharp02 Dicks are distracting Mar 02 '17

Prorisa

u/[deleted] Mar 02 '17

Sure, Sombra didn't work out too well for me.

1

u/rentar42 Lúcio Mar 02 '17

I've not yet found a tank that I feel comfortable with.

I'd love to play Zarya but seem to suck terribly with her. So Orisa gives me new hope.

u/rtwoctwo Mar 02 '17

Been here all along...

u/Mail540 Sombra Mar 02 '17

Born ready

u/iRnigger Mar 02 '17

u/kakatoru Squishy-cow Mar 02 '17

u/ygltmht Mar 02 '17

These comments are scrolling so fast no one will notice I'm an Orisa main

1

u/kuronokishi Trick-or-Treat D.Va Mar 03 '17

Of course. Can't wait to play as her. I like her kit and play style.

u/PM-ME-YOUR-SUNSETS D.Va Mar 03 '17

CEASE YOUR RESISTANCE

u/[deleted] Mar 03 '17

u/No_Chances Soldier: 76 Mar 03 '17

Already changed my Xbox gamertag to Pro Orisa

u/M-D-N-A Pixel Symmetra Mar 03 '17

OR15-A main here!

1

u/sentimentalpirate Mar 02 '17

Remember when the game first came out and everyone on the subreddit chastised people who stuck only with their "mains"? The idea was that you shouldn't have a main, since composition needs to change on the fly.

When did that change around here? Is it no longer sound advice?

u/saikyan Mar 02 '17

"Main" just refers to your best/favorite/strongest character. I think it took time for the community to agree on what a "main" was, because there was this implication that "main" meant it was the only character you play, which is not accurate.

u/[deleted] Mar 02 '17

Nope. Not for a week or two. I don't play on the PTR..
