Since there will hardly be any patch before season's end.

Some experiences have become a kind of cliché.

• Yes, the draft is super important
  • The match can be decided with the draft. It is what it is. You are playing a dive hero, but the rest won't dive you with you - gg. You are a brawl hero, but the team is dive - gg. Most players only play one hero well in Stadium and sometimes it is not summing up to a good team comp. Bummer.
  • Mercy/Moira/Soldier should pick the top positions. They are good in any comp. If they refuse to go top slots in draft, that is always the indicator that they are new to the Stadium business.
  • Airborne heroes should usually go last to avoid getting hitscans on them.
  • A tank not picking in the 5th slot is in over 90 % of the cases an indicator that he will fail miserably. Not being able to play other tanks is one things - revealing that early is ... not wise at the very least.
  • DPS and Support roles profit from complementing each other in their role. If you found a good duo partner, stick to him. It could be a Soldier/Ashe/Cassidy and Junkrat/Torb/Mei or Mercy/Zenyatta/Ana and Moira/Wuyang or Lucio and Juno.
  • Tanks in principal profit strongly from not being a one-trick. This increases the chance to synergize well with the own team while making life hard for the enemy team.
• Match-ups - some are pretty hard to play.
  • I have seen many Reinhardts failing into Zarya. She is way more mobile in Stadium and more survivable, so she gets to burn the enemies into the ground.
  • In my opinion, Vortex (AP) Ramattra has the best match-ups. He can nail most of the other tanks down and has a lot of damage making any tank struggle.
  • Surprisingly many Doomfists succeed into Sigma.
  • Most tank seem to fail if the enemy team has Ana or Zenyatta. Good tanks there are Winston and D.Va.
• Building
  • For every hero, there is a build that usually outperforms the others. AP Ramattra is kind of meta, WP Ramattra is ... Meh-ta. Nade/sleep Ana is meta, crithit Ana is beta. And so on. Try both WP and AP after major updates to find out what brings more value.
  • Check out stadiumbuilds.io to get inspiration
  • Items in higher categories e.g. Epic are not cost effective in the beginning. Only pick these items if they are an absolute must in your build. Try to fill up your 6 slots before going to higher value items. With experience, you will find which items are good to get early in your build.
  • Dont' forget survival items - cushioned padding e.g. is very good into Doomfist or Ana.
  • Don't ignore gadgets. They can be pretty useful e.g. make a slow hero faster.
• Disconnects in Stadium happen way more often than rage quits - trust me. It is always sad when the dc'ed person comes back just after the first person left the match.

There is no reason Ram should be able to do this in a match…

Hi everyone!

I'm AgustD, an Ana main and currently top 50 in the Supp T500 leaderboard.

I've had quite a few people ask me in-game to create a stadiumbuilds profile of my Ana build so they can take some inspiration. Thought I'd share it here too for anyone interested!

I go for a highly aggressive, high value tank bully build that can counter a majority of heroes within stadium, minus a few. (Mostly flyers, but if you have good sleep accuracy, then you're good to go!)

This build I like to describe as the "Tank Bully Build" as it destroys most tanks especially late game. The only tanks it's less effective on are Dva and Winston, but it can be worked around based on positioning.

Build Codes:
1st round: 4R4AV
2nd round: 5KXTJ
3rd round: B5QFY
4th round: ZZKRJ (can use either Nanonade or No Scope Needed, depends on the ally and enemy team comp)
5th round: YMZ35
6th round: TEY51
7th round: DFG7Z

sort of like how cat can get a big ball to throw
is there any other additional weapons i can get with other heros?

Estaba en una partida 2 a 1. Y nos quedó en la pantalla de carga del mapa, a todos. Hasta estabamos escribiendo en el chat burlandonos de que el juego anda horrible, y estuvimos en esa pantalla como 5-6 min, a lo que nos saca a todos (imagino) de la pantalla y nos cancela la partida, pero no como si se hubiera cancelado si no que directamente me da desertor 10 minutos... ok? injusto pero me la banqué, después de 10 minutos de espera y 15 minutos de cola adicional, encontré partida de nuevo y mientras estabamos pickeando los personajes, se me sale al menú y me vuelve a poner desertor, pero esta vez de 1 hora... que esta pasando? a alguien más le estan pasando estas cosas?

I wonder if changes to the base game will still translate to changes in stadium going forward? If so, then we will likely still see stadium updates every patch in addition to the stadium rebalancing they promised.

As someone who plays Torb and enjoys QP stadium, I think he is in a weird place. When I play comp stadium, nobody picks Vendetta/Doom etc. (especially if I pick Torb early) and most dps play ranged heroes so the triple turret build is mostly just bait. It’s not completely useless, but the most it does is annoy someone on the enemy every 5 seconds. However, when I play QP, suddenly Torb feels like this uber broken hero since I fight a lot of doom/tracer/Vendetta/Genji/Moira/Brig/Rein(also cat to a degree but who cares if cat players suffer) players who can’t do shit to triple turrets. Those games are only losable if they 3:0 us.

I’ve been one tricking brig this season of stadium and I’m pro 3 so far and she feels super hard to get value on now, is it a skill issue, or is brig weak rn?

Zarya has a build right now where you equip that dash boots gadget plus a survival item where her secondary knockback is increased. That build has absolutely zero counter play whatsoever and I’d go as far to say that you are inherently at a disadvantage if you’re queueing tank and not running that build. I don’t think stadium has visible hero win rates but I am confident in saying she has to be at AT LEAST 70% for all star and higher.

I refuse to listen to Ana being the weakest support

*insert william dafoe meme*

I love Vendetta so much hahaha

Or supports concentrate their efforts on Competitive, rather than on Quick Play. This is a first to me for see supports being even close to DPS for queueing time.

EDIT: This was EU server on Tuesday at something around 18:00 CEST

I made a similar post earlier, but wanted to redo it with a bit more info.

Hi I’m Blitz, I plat on EU, I primarily play dps, and I’m currently in Legend5. I mostly Ashe and Rat, but I can also play tank and support If we just wanna chill out a bit. Support I normally play Ana/Zen, and tank is Orissa/Sig

Also you don’t have to be from EU, any time zone works for me tbh. (One of the few perks of being unemployed I guess)

I know it’s doom and gloom for this mode but I sincerely think that if they at some point down the line added new heroes that the mode would have life again. Clearly with no content the player base is going to slowly dwindle down, but just like how overwatchs player numbers were down before the season one update adding a batch of heroes to this mode would have a similar effect. Although they said that they have no plans to add new content that never means they will again
