    Trump really is uniquely unqualified to be president. We've had bad presidents before but Trump is legitimately fucking terrifying. He's a loose cannon who more or less believes in using overwhelming force to crush his enemies (this is well-established in his shady business practices and his tendency to come after people with his team of crack lawyers), but this time, his enemies are the American people at large. We know this to be the case because the American people at large did not elect him, and he's been open about curtailing free speech and civil liberties for just about anyone he deems to be an enemy of the state (or, more accurately, a critic of his regime). The president really does have a fuckton of power, equal to at least 1/3 of Congress, which -- by the way -- is controlled by the people nearest to being his ideological allies. Let's not forget that the biggest threats to humanity today could potentially wipe us out within the century, none of them are ISIS or even tangentially related to Islam, and they've all been completely ignored or outright denied by Trump. He's going to choose at least one supreme court justice, the heads of several federal agencies, he's going to have authority over both the military and our nuclear arsenal and you can rest assured that he's not going to get any more intelligent within the next month. We already have extrajudicial killings going on daily both at home and abroad, despite crime rates being at an all time low and there not being a single credible threat to our national security, but Trump has advocated for the expansion of the military both overseas and within our borders. Unless by some turn of events he hits a very late puberty and grows the fuck up, we are more or less guaranteed to have the worst four years since the civil war but, owing to the increasing consolidation of power occurring both under the status quo and under the new authoritarian regime, these four years might very well be our last.
     
    But hey, anyone who didn't vote for him is just a PC policeman hurt feelings liberal who wants to fill our country with Mexicans and institute Sharia law, am I right?

    I'm scared because the threat of leaving NATO means my home and stable life in Germany is forfeit. 
     
    I have one one base of operations left in America and it's in Alaska where my aunt lives and like hell I can be around that part of the family constantly when my abuser is one of them.
     
     
    On a national level I'm worried about a failed business mogul and reality TV star being handed the reigns to the only superpower on Earth when he hasn't even been involved in governing on any level. Not to mention the blatant, conscious racism, sexism, other -isms he spews on a constant basis.

    The last thing I'll say is, well yeah. Maybe for you. But I guarantee you there are people who have already lost their lives indirectly just because of this guy becoming president. Hate crimes went up by 80% when Brexit happened. It'll be worse here.
     
    Already read about 3 shootouts in the last 2 days, one half an hour from where I live. People are dying and will die as a result of a racist president emboldening the other racists in the country. They have their initiative and people will suffer. But it's okay, because life'll go on for you I guess. It's not the end of the world for you maybe, but a lot of LGBT people, and minorities in general are terrified out of their fucking minds.
     
    The only reason I'm not afraid to leave my own god damn house is because I live in an extremely Hispanic dense area. If I were in any bible belt state I would not step out of my god damn house out of fear. So there you go. We'll keep moving forward, but at what cost. There is no world where people should have to fear for their lives because a presidential candidate has been elected.
     
    Also I'm just gonna go ahead and also mention Mike Pence is a human being who probably shouldn't exist. That's all I got.

    Caveson, your thoughts are frankly fucking stupid.
     
    If you think Trump gives half a flying fuck about small businesses and the "common man", you haven't been paying attention to his entire career as a businessman. There's a fun documentary that illustrates this I can't remember the name of. You can probably find it by googling "Trump fucks Scotland" or something similar.
     
    Edit: in fact, I did it for you. The name of the documentary is "You've Been Trumped". And yes, that plus the word documentary is what I typed into google.
     
    And if you're saying saying shit like "I'm not transphobic" while using phrases like "Some fucking tranny", you're either hilariously unself-aware or lying.
     
    That whole rant is based on misinformation and deflecting based on that same old bullshit "Well I would have voted for someone else but you called me a racist so..." line. No, you wouldn't have, you fucking liar, you voted the exact same way you were ALWAYS going to vote and crying that somebody hurt your widdle feelings by calling you a racist just makes you look like a spiteful god damned pansy.
     
    Just own up to the fact that you voted for the man because he pandered to your crowd and you liked what you heard, because there's no way you ACTUALLY BELIEVE his "I'm anti-establishment for the people" tripe unless you have deliberately avoided learning ANYTHING about the man and how he operates.
     
    There's very little chance he's the next coming of Hitler but the BEST case scenario is he's an ineffectual buffoon who parades around with Pence's hand up his ass for the next 4-8 years, and all the informed voters who swung his way are in the know on that. If you actually bought into the rhetoric, I'm sad for you but you had a long ass time to educate yourself and claiming you voted for him just because other people said bad things about him or you makes you look like a fucking idiot.

    Race related crime has already significantly increased. Even if it doesn't get worse (doubtful) do you really think Trump is going to work to make it any better? Or is he going to open his dumb ass mouth at every opportunity and fan the flames, intentionally or not?
     
    His first presidential address is probably going to be a nightmare. Because he's already proven he's incapable of just reading a prepared speech off of cards.

    Congratulations America, we did it!
    We voted in an incredibly incompetent, racist, sexist, LGBT-hating, failure of a businessman, sexual predator demagogue instead of a reasonably competent albeit with a lot of flaws president who actually won the popular vote!!! One supported by the fucking KKK and feared by a third of the fucking country! Democracy! Yeah!
     
    We did it everyone!!!!
     
    What a fucking joke. What a complete and utter disregard for the half of America that's going to be absolutely fucking trounced by an a Republican government. But it's alright, Hillary didn't win right? That criminal! Disregard the fact that Trump's a fucking tax evader and suspected sex offender.
     
    Just great.
     
    Oh yeah. He's not in the office yet but we sure as hell are already gonna start feeling the effects of his presidency. Fun stuff

    Guy923 reacted to Rynjin in Tabletop-RPG Corner   
    1.) No, it's a trap. Damage dice are, generally speaking, meaningless. Most of your static bonuses are going to come from a high Str, Power Attack, and stuff like that. Say you're going with the Nine Ring. You have 1d8 damage (average 4.5), and you have at level 20 a solid 30 Str (you'd probably have a good bit more than that at 30, but for simplicity's sake). You have a +5 weapon and Power Attack. Let's assume the unarmed Monk has the same Str (30), same Amulet of Mighty Fists (+5, even though it costs double the other so in fairness the other weapon should have a +2 weapon property of some kind on it), and also Power Attack.
     
    Nine Ring Monk: 1d8 base damage dice (4.5 damage) + 15 Str (10 modifier, multiplied by 1.5 for two-handing) + 18 Power Attack (-6 attack, +12 damage as the base, the 12 is multiplied by 1.5 for 18 because 2H) +5 sword = 42 damage per swing (all fractional damage rounds down)
     
    Unarmed Monk: 2d10 base damage dice (11 average damage) + 10 Str + 12 Power Attack +5 Amulet = 38 damage a swing.
     
    So, 4 point damage difference...before figuring out everything else that goes into a Damage Per Round calculation (crit rate, crit multiplier, accuracy). Since the Nine Ring has a higher Multiplier, its damage rips ahead of the fists even more. The Temple sword likewise.
     
    This fluctuates a bit among the levels, generally speaking the Monk will be even, or ahead by 1 or 2 points of raw damage at the exact levels it gains a new Unarmed Strike dice bonus, but that's not factoring in the other things I mentioned earlier.
     
    2.) That is a basic rule of the game. Two-Handed weapons and One-Handed weapon wielded in both hands gain 1.5x Str (and Power Attack) to damage bonus when you attack. The regular Monk has a clause that says that no matter WHAT weapon it wields it gets 1x Str to damage, so weapon wielding Monks are unarmed Monks are more (but mot entirely) even in that arena. The Unchained Monk purposefully left out that clause.
     
    Also if you want I can look into some aforementioned shenanigans to see if I can get you the Double Walking Stick Katana in a Flurry.

    Guy923 reacted to Rynjin in Tabletop-RPG Corner   
    So, for Flurry, you're basically limited to weapons with the "Monk" special quality besides some shenanigans you can pull with Feats and class dips. I'm going to ficus on the simple ones.
     
    Complete list: Monk: bo staff, brass knuckles, butterfly sword, cestus, dan bong, deer horn knife, double chained kama, double chicken saber, emei piercer, fighting fan, hanbo, jutte, kama, kusarigama, kyoketsu shoge, lungshuan tamo, monk's spade, nine-ring broadsword, nine-section whip, nunchaku, quarterstaff, rope dart, sai, sansetsukon, seven-branched sword, shang gou, shuriken, siangham, temple sword, tiger fork, tonfa, tri-point double-edged sword, unarmed strike, urumi, and wushu dart.
     
    Of those I'm a big fan of the Temple Sword (functionally identical to a longsword, but looks cooler), Nine Ring Broadsword (longsword, but x3 crit, incidentally my favorite looking sword IRL), plus the Sansetsukon and Nine Section Whip (mechanically, bludgeoning longsword for both, only difference image-wise is how many sections the staff breaks into), and Seven Branched Sword if you're going to be based on Trip maneuvers.
     
    I personally would nab the Nine Ring myself.

    Guy923 reacted to Wulff in Anime General Discussion   
    Shamelessly stolen from a thread on /a/, I give you some homages to western media in anime and vice versa.
     
    Little Witch Academia apparently features several characters from western cartoons in some of its background shots. Supposedly the top characters in the red circle are Mabel and Dipper from Gravity Falls and the one circled in the lower left is a character from Steven Universe. I haven't watched either of those shows, so I can't really comment myself, but it's not too surprising to me, seeing as Studio Trigger love to reference western stuff in their productions.
     
    In the anime "The Unlimited Hyobu Kyosuke" both the Nostalgia Critic and the Angry Video Game Nerd show up as background characters... Seriously.
     
    Pani Poni (?) has a pretty unsubtle reference to Back to the Future
     
    Stan Lee shows up in the anime "Heroman", which I suppose is not entirely unsurprising
     
    Kill la Kill has a couple of familiar faces in its background. Trigger does it again xD
     
    Punchline has this frame in it, which features Robert Downey Jr. (I think), Samuel L. Jackson, John Travolta, Harrison Ford and Arnold Schwarzenegger
     
    Kuromokuro (I think it is anyway) has a cameo appearance of Agent Mulder and Agent Scully
     
    Sabagebu! has a very obvious reference to Mad Max
     
    Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt has so many references to western culture, media and animation that there is not much point in trying to list all of it in this post, but this one in particular is pretty obvious.
     
    The Monogatari series also feature some nods to western animation. Like the Panty and Stocking one, I feel that this one is obvious
     
    The Monogatari series also has a pretty obvious Shawshank Redemption reference in it
     
    A Japanese voice actress by the name of "Izumi Kitta" does the voice of Tomoko in the anime adaptation of the WataMote manga. Guess what character she also voices in Japanese.
     
    And finally we have something in reverse. A reference to Japanese animation in a western cartoon. Notice something on the board in the background? Apparently Pinky and the Brain has a Neon Genesis Evangelion reference in it.

    Guy923 reacted to Wulff in Brexit Bullshit   
    Fuck off. I'm not British and even I can see how mindbogglingly stupid this decision is. You're upheaving over 40 years of economy built around being a member of the European Union and creating trouble for literally every single country that is a part of the EU when it comes to trade, not just the UK. Trade agreements will have to be re-negotiated now that the UK has opted out of the benefits that comes with trading among EU countries and I can promise you right now that these new negotiations will not favour the UK. The Pound Sterling is taking a nose-dive and is currently at the lowest value I have ever seen in my entire life and while the financial situation obviously cannot be predicted 100%, there is no doubt that there is short-term financial pain coming to all within the UK. Who knows, maybe the UK just voted yes to their very own "Do-It-Yourself" recession. Considering that 45-50% of British export is to other countries in the European Union, it's quite incredible to me that they decided to leave.
     
    Not to mention the issue that will occur with Brits who are abroad. The Erasmus exchange program will be limited if not downright removed from the UK, meaning that the future of all of Britains exchange students in Europe is uncertain. And what about the people with British citizenships living abroad in Europe? Unless the countries they're staying with offer them citizenships, there is a chance that they could be sent packing and be forced to return to the UK.
     
    I'm not even touching on the internal struggles that the United Kingdom will face now that Scotland and even Ireland are much more likely to vote for their own independence.
     
    England shot itself and its friends in the EU in the foot with this decision. The EU is still reeling from the refugee crisis and now the UK is adding another logistical problem on top of it. There's just no way they can come out of this without some damage to the relations between them and their neighbours.
     
    It doesn't matter that "other countries are doing just fine without the EU" because other countries aren't the fucking United Kingdom.
     
    People in the UK have every right to be worried about their future, not to mention frustrated about the results of the vote. There is no hysteria here, just anger and discontent for good reason.

    Because every country has the same resources and infrastructure that every other country in Europe has. A lot of things have changed in the past ~60 years, our currency has already gone in the dumpster and the future is EXTREMELY uncertain. So yeah, please don't tell me to 'get over' the fact that a bunch of ill-informed elderly people have just dictated what the foreseeable future of my country is going to be like.

    move peasants, man who has played since day 2 of the closed beta moving through
     
    Thoughts on general balance in the game: bar a few maps and like 2 underpowered heroes, everything's pretty good. Game balance is in a good spot.
    thoughts on every hero enclosed
     
    Offense Class in general: It's offense. Not much to say. You need like one or two of these in every lineup at the very least if you want to do well.
     
    Genji: My personal favorite hero and I'm not gonna be humble, I kick ass with this guy. One of the offense heroes with the strongest kits in the hands of a good player, his ultimate can absolutely demolish people in a lot of circumstances. Generally good but depends a lot on the player skill. A very good Genji can be more annoying than the best of tracers because reflect and dash make him far more mobile and survivable, and dragonblade can wipe teams.
     
    McCree: The hard counter to every flanker in the game. For the people with a deep hatred for Tracers who wish to watch the entirety of the Tracer main population be thrown into a volcano. Demolishes anyone in short range assuming he's got flashbang up, reasonably good at midrange, garbo at long range (as he should be). High noon is an excellent ultimate overall and flexible. I'd rate him slightly better on defense than on attack though due to the nature of a lot of maps.
     
    Pharah: Another very solid overall hero, absolutely shits out damage and trades cover for superior positioning. She's soldier with a jetpack and a great ultimate. Pretty simple.
     
    Reaper: His name is not important. Probably one of the weaker flankers/offense in general due to his lack of mobility*, but what he lacks in combat mobility he makes up with obscene firepower at close ranges. He can decimate tanks and get behind backlines very easily, and can be quite survivable and self sustainable by eating fucking souls and healthpacks.
     
    *He lacks mobility in active combat, but has the ability to get around more easily by teleporting. You can get around sure, but you can't get do that in general during combat as easily as other classes like S76, Pharah, Tracer, and Genji.
     
    Soldier 76: Jack of all trades, master of...some? Strong at medium range and longer ranges, his heal is useful, he's just kind of good. Generally good against most heroes, especially good against Tracers and Pharahs.
     
    Tracer: Scout but on steroids. Extremely mobile, extremely survivable, a shark in most senses of the word. Stop moving for a second and you will get fucking trounced because you're made of tissue paper. Eats squishies for breakfast. Can unaware tanks. Pulse-bomb is hard to use extremely effectively but good overall.
     
    Defense Class in general: It's not really much of a defense class honestly. It's more like "Miscellaneous heroes which are all kind of situational but still good and do random shit that we decided to stick into defense. Except for Bastion and Tobjorn. They're actual defense." A mishmash swiss army knife kind of set of classes that can accomplish a lot.
     
    Bastion: Ahem. Bastion sucks. Well maybe not sucks, but he's not OP like literally everyone says he is (in my opinion). Unless you have a Reinhardt sitting on top of him he's not that good. Grab a Genji, a Tracer, a Widow, a Roadhog, or a ton of other heroes that can just kind of shoot him. I will give him that he's absurdly good on stupid capture maps like Volsakaya and Hanamura, but that's about it. Lacks mobility (duh) and survivability but can shit out damage. Also has an 80% to get a potg.
     
    Addendum: Hahahahahahahaha How The Fuck Is Bastion Real Hahahahaha Nigga Just Walk Away From The Screen Like Nigga Just Play Genji and Press E Haha
     
    Hanzo: Sniper class for people who like RNG in their sniping. Isn't that consistent but depends on the player. A good Hanzo will tear you a new asshole. See: Huntsman Sniper.
     
    Junkrat: One of the more consistent defense heroes, does obscene amounts of damage and is a good counter to heavily shield reliant heroes (Reinhardt, Winston basically). Spam down a closed hallway for area denial and a million damage because his grenades do stupidly high damage. Riptire isn't the best ultimate but ti's good enough, you can get it quite often considering the obscene damage you do so trading a tire for a kill is pretty decent for how often it comes up.
     
    Mei: Awful to play against. Being frozen sucks. Only really beaten by McCree and good Reapers at close range. Thank god they nerfed icicle damage so I don't die from across the map to random icicle spam
     
    Tobjorn: Fuck flankers V 2.0. Makes the lives of Tracers and Genjis everywhere living hell. Useless on attack 85% of the time, not the best on defense 50% of the time due to how weak turrets are without his ultimate up. Provides some decent utility and area denial though. He's okay.
     
    Widowmaker: Man fuck snipers. She's a fucking sniper, the hell do you need. She shoots you from far away with her sniper rifle.That's literally it.
     
    Support class in general: In a really weird spot right now seeing as one of the supports isn't...really a support? More of a defense hero. One of the other 3 is underpowered, so there's really only 2 reliable healers in the game. Game needs another healer and Zen buffed honestly.
      
    Lucio: The best support, hands down. Probably always will be with the way the game is designed. Absolutely braindead beyond his ultimate. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, so naturally sound barrier is one of the best ultimates for breaking into capture points or trying to defend them. Why rez your teammates when you can make sure they don't die in the first place?
     
    Also looks like someone who should've been in a Jet Set Radio game.
     
    Mercy: The medic but she can fly and bring people back from the dead. Not as good as Lucio but still pretty good. Superior if you want to pocket someone, but far more difficult to play well and be a good healer since you have to prioritize targets to heal rather than just pressing E and healing everyone for a gorillion health. Rez is good, a large rez can help you keep momentum on a push or stop one.
     
    Symmetra: Not... really a support class in the sense of a healer. If you have one you will need another support. That being said, she's pretty good at defense in general, and an extra 25 shields on everyone helps take a bit of the stress off your healer since shields regen, and makes everyone more generally survivable. Teleporters are very good for holding down points since people will always inevitably die.
     
    Zenyatta: Poor Zenyatta. Not as strong of a single person healer as Mercy, can't slap an orb on backliners anymore and send them on their merry ways, can't heal everyone without blowing his ultimate anymore. He's not in a great spot, you trade AOE healing and stronger single person healing/damage boost for your own increased DPS and Discord orb. 50% extra damage on a target is nice but they can just not be within line of sight for a few seconds and suddenly whoosh orb gone. He's still got the highest damage output of any support but that's not saying a whole lot. He's made of wet tissue paper so it's hard to use it effectively. His ultimate is also just kind of worse than both res and sound barrier, sound barrier is much better for breaking into bases and can shield a lot more than transcendence can heal. He needs something, what though I'm not too sure.
     
    General thoughts on Tanks: Surprisingly diverse playstyle class, there's a little something for everyone in here. From the humble shieldbearer Reinhardt, to the wannabe-offense D.va. Need one (or maybe 2) on a team if you wanna get anywhere.
     
    D.va: She's kind of a tank in the sense that she can eat a lot of damage, but her kit is naturally more oriented for backlining. A backliner tank is weird but... not terrible. She has solid damage potential at close ranges, a great ultimate for zoning, but she can fulfill the "Make sure your teammates don't fucking die" role well enough if needs be.
     
    Reindhardt: "Don't worry my friends! I am your shield!" Good on every team, good on every map, you can't ever go wrong with a Reinhardt. A simple but strong ultimate, and a very strong shield with massive general utility and just generally good for making sure people don't die. Also #1 candidate for best Overwatch dad.
     
    Roadhog: The secondary contender for "Tanks for people who like offense." but it all depends on whether or not you can land/time hooks. In general being hooked by a competent Roadhog just means you're dead unless you're another Tank. Even then, chances are you'll get chunked of basically all of your health. The most self sustainable of all the tanks and generally the most independently acting. Can't really aid his teammates in any way other than facetanking all the damage because he's a massive fat guy (aka free ultimate charge if you shoot at him)
     
    Winston: Monkey that jumps around a lot. Good defensively, good for fucking with the enemy... kind of. Excellent against backliners like Tracer and Genji but sucks against Reaper. Eats Widowmakers for breakfast. Ultimate is great utility. Definitely a big team player if you have one on your team if played well.
     
    Zarya: High damage potential, very high utility with her ultimate and shields, flexible but not quite as flexible as Reinhardt. Also the squishiest of any tank without her shield, so a good knowledge of how aggressive to play is very key. Preserving your energy by not dying is very important. 
     
     
    Overall the game is very good and well balanced, needs some minor tweaks but I have a lot of faith in blizzard to make this work.

    Soldier 76: Jack of all trades, master of...some? Strong at medium range and longer ranges, his heal is useful, he's just kind of good. Generally good against most heroes, especially good against Tracers and Pharahs.
     
    Tracer: Scout but on steroids. Extremely mobile, extremely survivable, a shark in most senses of the word. Stop moving for a second and you will get fucking trounced because you're made of tissue paper. Eats squishies for breakfast. Can unaware tanks. Pulse-bomb is hard to use extremely effectively but good overall.
     
    Defense Class in general: It's not really much of a defense class honestly. It's more like "Miscellaneous heroes which are all kind of situational but still good and do random shit that we decided to stick into defense. Except for Bastion and Tobjorn. They're actual defense." A mishmash swiss army knife kind of set of classes that can accomplish a lot.
     
    Bastion: Ahem. Bastion sucks. Well maybe not sucks, but he's not OP like literally everyone says he is (in my opinion). Unless you have a Reinhardt sitting on top of him he's not that good. Grab a Genji, a Tracer, a Widow, a Roadhog, or a ton of other heroes that can just kind of shoot him. I will give him that he's absurdly good on stupid capture maps like Volsakaya and Hanamura, but that's about it. Lacks mobility (duh) and survivability but can shit out damage. Also has an 80% to get a potg.
     
    Addendum: Hahahahahahahaha How The Fuck Is Bastion Real Hahahahaha Nigga Just Walk Away From The Screen Like Nigga Just Play Genji and Press E Haha
     
    Hanzo: Sniper class for people who like RNG in their sniping. Isn't that consistent but depends on the player. A good Hanzo will tear you a new asshole. See: Huntsman Sniper.
     
    Junkrat: One of the more consistent defense heroes, does obscene amounts of damage and is a good counter to heavily shield reliant heroes (Reinhardt, Winston basically). Spam down a closed hallway for area denial and a million damage because his grenades do stupidly high damage. Riptire isn't the best ultimate but ti's good enough, you can get it quite often considering the obscene damage you do so trading a tire for a kill is pretty decent for how often it comes up.
     
    Mei: Awful to play against. Being frozen sucks. Only really beaten by McCree and good Reapers at close range. Thank god they nerfed icicle damage so I don't die from across the map to random icicle spam
     
    Tobjorn: Fuck flankers V 2.0. Makes the lives of Tracers and Genjis everywhere living hell. Useless on attack 85% of the time, not the best on defense 50% of the time due to how weak turrets are without his ultimate up. Provides some decent utility and area denial though. He's okay.
     
    Widowmaker: Man fuck snipers. She's a fucking sniper, the hell do you need. She shoots you from far away with her sniper rifle.That's literally it.
     
    Support class in general: In a really weird spot right now seeing as one of the supports isn't...really a support? More of a defense hero. One of the other 3 is underpowered, so there's really only 2 reliable healers in the game. Game needs another healer and Zen buffed honestly.
      
    Lucio: The best support, hands down. Probably always will be with the way the game is designed. Absolutely braindead beyond his ultimate. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, so naturally sound barrier is one of the best ultimates for breaking into capture points or trying to defend them. Why rez your teammates when you can make sure they don't die in the first place?
     
    Also looks like someone who should've been in a Jet Set Radio game.
     
    Mercy: The medic but she can fly and bring people back from the dead. Not as good as Lucio but still pretty good. Superior if you want to pocket someone, but far more difficult to play well and be a good healer since you have to prioritize targets to heal rather than just pressing E and healing everyone for a gorillion health. Rez is good, a large rez can help you keep momentum on a push or stop one.
     
    Symmetra: Not... really a support class in the sense of a healer. If you have one you will need another support. That being said, she's pretty good at defense in general, and an extra 25 shields on everyone helps take a bit of the stress off your healer since shields regen, and makes everyone more generally survivable. Teleporters are very good for holding down points since people will always inevitably die.
     
    Zenyatta: Poor Zenyatta. Not as strong of a single person healer as Mercy, can't slap an orb on backliners anymore and send them on their merry ways, can't heal everyone without blowing his ultimate anymore. He's not in a great spot, you trade AOE healing and stronger single person healing/damage boost for your own increased DPS and Discord orb. 50% extra damage on a target is nice but they can just not be within line of sight for a few seconds and suddenly whoosh orb gone. He's still got the highest damage output of any support but that's not saying a whole lot. He's made of wet tissue paper so it's hard to use it effectively. His ultimate is also just kind of worse than both res and sound barrier, sound barrier is much better for breaking into bases and can shield a lot more than transcendence can heal. He needs something, what though I'm not too sure.
     
    General thoughts on Tanks: Surprisingly diverse playstyle class, there's a little something for everyone in here. From the humble shieldbearer Reinhardt, to the wannabe-offense D.va. Need one (or maybe 2) on a team if you wanna get anywhere.
     
    D.va: She's kind of a tank in the sense that she can eat a lot of damage, but her kit is naturally more oriented for backlining. A backliner tank is weird but... not terrible. She has solid damage potential at close ranges, a great ultimate for zoning, but she can fulfill the "Make sure your teammates don't fucking die" role well enough if needs be.
     
    Reindhardt: "Don't worry my friends! I am your shield!" Good on every team, good on every map, you can't ever go wrong with a Reinhardt. A simple but strong ultimate, and a very strong shield with massive general utility and just generally good for making sure people don't die. Also #1 candidate for best Overwatch dad.
     
    Roadhog: The secondary contender for "Tanks for people who like offense." but it all depends on whether or not you can land/time hooks. In general being hooked by a competent Roadhog just means you're dead unless you're another Tank. Even then, chances are you'll get chunked of basically all of your health. The most self sustainable of all the tanks and generally the most independently acting. Can't really aid his teammates in any way other than facetanking all the damage because he's a massive fat guy (aka free ultimate charge if you shoot at him)
     
    Winston: Monkey that jumps around a lot. Good defensively, good for fucking with the enemy... kind of. Excellent against backliners like Tracer and Genji but sucks against Reaper. Eats Widowmakers for breakfast. Ultimate is great utility. Definitely a big team player if you have one on your team if played well.
     
    Zarya: High damage potential, very high utility with her ultimate and shields, flexible but not quite as flexible as Reinhardt. Also the squishiest of any tank without her shield, so a good knowledge of how aggressive to play is very key. Preserving your energy by not dying is very important. 
     
     
    Overall the game is very good and well balanced, needs some minor tweaks but I have a lot of faith in blizzard to make this work.
