Junk rat question: so he did his ultimate and I snuck up behind him and shot him in the back of the head. His bomb was way far away, however it was like he blew up a little too and i died. Death cam showed it was me killing myself. Does junk rat blow up when he's killed when channeling? Is it a bug or a feature? Game fun hating work

I generally don't care for FPS games aside from TF2 but this game is real fun so far

DreamShipWrecked posted:"No one likes to play support but everyone likes to win" I actually like playing support half the time. Usually Lucio, but that's only when attacking. AOE heals are only good when the cat herd that is your team has something to force them to clump together. For the most part. Mercy's Ok but feels too much like the Medic from TF2 and seems really restricting. Main problem is that most of the heros are so mobile that it's hard to keep up with them if you're trying to keep the whole team alive, even with the "fly home" ability. So you just end up pocketing the tank unless then decide to run up to you. With Symetra? . She really just has that shield, so she needs an actual healer to help out. Zenyatta is great fun but I think they shouldn't have applied the 3 second LOS restriction to his healing orb. It makes sense for the damage orb but his healing is way too low. Which sucks because he's by far my favorite character design wise. I really hope they start fleshing out the support class first when new characters come out.

Atoramos posted:It's the opposite: They did reset MMR, which means all the players better than you are right there with you at rank 0. I'm not sure that's true. I've been watching some of Seagull's stream from the first few hours, and his stack was mostly matched up against other pro stacks from the get-go. Good players on rank 0 could be because people played beta on another account from the one they bought the game on. Also, great FPS players without Overwatch experience will dumpster other newbies after just a couple games of learning the basics.

So who were the new characters that people were theorizing again? There was: Sombra (mother of the year) Doomfist (who is a kid, no really, I'm serious) and like one other dude/dudette right? I feel like it was an attack looking class.

I he solo queuing? Cause if he's 6 stacking then he'll be more likely to get paired against other 6 stacks (I think). Which would explain why he would be getting teamed with other pros since right now I assume other pros make up most of the 6 stacks.

Crain posted:With Symetra? . She really just has that shield, so she needs an actual healer to help out. Arguably her teleport is also a kind of support because it cuts the time it takes to people to get back into the mess, which is almost another kind of resurrection. And I personally I think it's a bit better than Mercy's because the teleport should be in a secure spot protected by her turrets. Outside of that, though, yeah, her shields feels almost like a filler ability (though it makes Tracers and Zenyatta not die to a Widowmaker bodyshot). As for Zenyatta, I understand why they added the LoS requirement. People would drop a healing ball in their flankers and then the net result is a Tracer with a lot of HP, which isn't fun at all to fight against. Having said that, I think the damage orb should have a wallhack applied to the person with it, on top of the indicator.

There's a ton of posters in the Hanamura arcade of a girl with cool 80s future glasses and what looks like some kind of robot? I wouldn't be surprised to see her become a new hero. One of the devs did a Q&A for a Korean website and said there would definitely be new maps and characters this year. So Blizzcon is gonna be awesome as far as Overwatch is concerned

I probably wouldn't mind playing support as much if there was more then three characters. Well two, really, since Zenyatta is hard countered by Widowmaker (and there's going to be a Widowmaker in your game). Also Mercy is good but boring and lame, and playing her is probably the least amount of fun you can have in this game. Basically what I'm saying is I wouldn't mind playing support as much if there was something else to play besides Lucio.

Oh right. Also they totally teased D.Va the same way on Hanamura. I can't wait for Blizzcon. I'm not going, but I can't wait to see all the goodies for hearthstone and overwatch.

Some of the abilities in this game really need more noticeable range markers. Like Reaper's "die die die" which I thought was just the red cloud around him but it's actually way bigger than that. Also Zarya's black hole, which I have no idea but I missed my target with it and enemies flew into it from miles away.

They need to add new supports to this game so bad. The absolute biggest problem with it is that I dont feel like playing as Lucio every game if I want to win.

On that note, I could never tell yesterday if I was far enough away from d.va's mech explosion thing to not get taken out. Pretty massive range on that one.

Atoramos posted:Also my wife chain-crashes after a bit of play with 'Rendering device has been lost', but she's running the same build I am with a 760. Latest drivers. Tried reinstalling Windows 10 last night, but no dice. She's pulling her hair out and I'm not sure what to suggest (I'll be getting a new card once the 1080's are actually available, so she can try swapping for my card then...) Check out the card/computer case and see if it is full of dust bunnies. If not, blast it with air anyway because unless you're running HEPA filtration and regularly clean it out there's gonna be dust. With a 760 that's a good amount of time if it's been untouched since installation, and if she's got any kind of pets it's probably all dusted up and unable to cool properly. There's a possibility there's a driver issue or your PSU is being really strange but if her computer runs fine after being shut off for a bit and then stays fine until she's playing the game then it's almost certainly a heat issue causing the card to freak out. Did/does she get weird graphics glitches elsewhere? Unconstrained textures, weird shading and staticy poo poo, stuff like that.

Soothing Vapors posted:Mercy is so good but that beam is like a "please come kill me now" sign I loving love running behind enemy lines on Anubis and just running back and forth in that little tunnel right behind the capture point. You can so easily duck in and out of there and run on the walls so fast as Lucio and just annoy the poo poo out of the other team and super distract them. I've completely changed the tide of a few matches by doing that. Don't be afraid to NOT heal as Lucio sometimes! Also unrelated, this game runs SO smoothly. Like goddamn this poo poo runs better than WoW in certain places. I'm really impressed by how good this game looks

I have more time played with her than anyone else right now just because she's so good at zipping around and the healing she does is really fast. Did notice a trend last night with Mercy players healing an already-full-health tank while I die right next to them though

I really wanna like Zarya, her shield is amazing but I kinda feel like she could use some buffs. Lower her self shield's cooldown, make her damage fade slower or something. The worst thing about her is that her ult isn't a disable, which means enemies can do whatever they want after getting ulted. Reindhardts can keep their shields up, Lucios and Zenyattas can ult, Reapers can simply press shift and walk away from it... Also it doesn't even do anything to turret mode Bastions.

As much fun as Lucio is I still believe that Mercy is the best support for attack-defend maps. The others can lend support but Mercy can change the tide of the map singlehandedly. But then again I used to occasionally pub medic in TF2 so I am certifiably insane Plus killing people with her pistol will never not be hilarious E. Also, blowing into the middle of a clusterfuck and screaming "HEROES NEVER DIE" gets me rock hard CuddleCryptid fucked around with this message at 15:23 on May 24, 2016 |
