Bro can’t turn a corner without melting from 10 venom mines stacked on a wall.

I don’t think so. There’s been a lot of random unraked-to-gm videos of streamers without using part of their kit on purpose.
Personally I think that’s griefing, maybe they didn’t get banned because of streamer privilege, who knows.
I’m talking the average player. Not streamers, we all know they are untouchable. They are the only thing keeping this game some what in the realm of playable.
So Rein is now immortal.
Edit: Rein + Mei + Mercy + Kiriko and whatever is left = super immortal
As far as the Universal Items:
Plasma Converter, Charged Plating, and Adrenaline Shot all stand out to me a lot. Giving even just a small survivability boost on a squishy can be OBNOXIOUS, especially on more evasive characters like Genji or Lucio. On a tank, movespeed when grabbing a healthpack can be clutch for making rotations with some map knowledge and lifesteal is made even more impactful through damage mitigation options. For 3,000 credits, that’s a steal and a package few heroes will pass up on I think.
Multi-Tool >>>, Cooldown Reduction is OP, especially on supports who often have long cooldowns with massive impact. 10% more Resurrects or Biotic Grenades is incredibly clutch.
I wonder if Mark of the Kitsune and the like apply to abilities without a normal cooldown, such as Crossfade, Sprint, Reinhardt’s Barrier Field, or Defense Matrix. I assume not because I think that would enable some quite silly strategies. Otherwise, good item, especially if your hero has lots of abilities they spam often - Juno, Lucio, Mercy, Genji, or Dva.
Shieldbuster is very competitive compared to other options because statistically it actually competes with its Common counterparts “pound for pound”. The conditional nature of it means it’s useless for most Supports but especially for tanks this seems like an optimal pick for your Rare. Particularly with items granting armor and shields, triggering the effect doesn’t seem that uncommon.
Heal Reduction is INCREDIBLY broken. Not only for securing kills, but also for winning in economy - 30% healing reduction means 30% less credits going to their teams’ healers, more or less. Some heroes like D.va can easily farm crits or ability damage to make El-sa’ka Supressor or Cybervenom stupidly oppressive.
Liquid Nitrogen is quite similar - again, Lucio, D.va, Junker Queen love this one for the easy debuff that can win fights on its own.
Because of this, Cushioned Padding is a MUST-HAVE to avoid being constantly antihealed, slowed, or stunned.
If Gloomgauntlet applies to Rein’s hammer - instant pick. Damage boost, healing, movespeed to stick to targets. Otherwise, not worth the trouble.
Phantasmic Flux, though - insanely good. Getting the first shot in a 1v1 basically guarantees you win that fight due to the Overhealth. If you have spam abilities like Firestrike, you’re cooking even more.
Overall, interesting additions. Can’t wait to play with them next season.
Junker Queen sounds amazing. Dez’s Damage Dampeners is an extremely good item on a tank - knockback happens more often than you’d think, at least from my understanding.
Furthermore, her powers are quite good. Royal Bullets is a standout - getting crits with Scattergun isn’t particularly difficult and 30 wound damage is a hefty chunk of Adrenaline Rush healing.
Let’s Go Win is also super strong as I’ve witnessed in action. Getting assists as Queen is not particularly hard and Commanding Shout already lasts 5 seconds, so resetting the cooldown on elimination allows for a very high uptime.
Genji: Iaido Strike. Ninja Soles. Transference Delta. Did you know Transference Delta works with Iaido Strike? Tank Genji. Spam deflect for the blade.
Kiriko: Supported Shooting. Teamwork Toolkit. Healbot Kiriko, spread the love to as many allies as possible. Massive value.
Lucio: Radio Edit. Airwaves. Beat Drop as a bonus. Cooldown reduction is your best friend. Amp It Up as much as possible for tons of overhealth and even burst damage.
I’m like super lost with Stadium
How many items or powers can we pick at all times? xD
You get a power every 2 rounds, with a maximum of 4.
You can buy Items as long as you have the cash, with a maximum of 6.

6 items or 6 stacks of the same?
edit
ok ok, 6 items total xD
It’s basically what NightKnight said. Just keep in mind when planning your builds that you only get access to the fourth power slot in the 7th round of a match — and most matches won’t even make it that far. And unlike items, you can’t change powers once you’ve picked them.

does anyone know which perks work with the death step power because perks like wreath of or crimson cloak don’t work but devastation does I don’t know if its a bug and they’ll all work with it eventually or if its intended
