Wales Grey posted:[*]If you don't have at least parity with the other team's active players, you're going to lose the engagement because they can trade you 1-1 and still maintain presence on the objective Good stuff, I don't get this one though. By parity you mean having as many players, or killing as much? This whole math thing is above my paygrade.

Emalde posted:What is this referencing? Sometimes when the PotG comes up, I see something in the bottom-middle-right of the screen that's something like "shut down" or "lifesaver". I'm assuming it's Blizzard's system providing context for some of the odd-er PotG that I've seen. Heavy Metal posted:Good stuff, I don't get this one though. By parity you mean having as many players, or killing as much? This whole math thing is above my paygrade. Yes. If the other team has fewer players, they have less damage going out and less HP on/near objectives and once you have numerical superiority you can trade 1-1 until they're all gone. (Trading 1-1 isn't a good idea but it illustrates my point.) Wales Grey fucked around with this message at 22:28 on May 24, 2016 |

Finally got around to playing for the first time since official release. Game is... good? It's good, I think.

Wales Grey posted:Day 0/Day 1 impressions: I know it's really early, but the biggest takeaway since launch has been "Do I want to have less fun as Rein or Mercy but win" or "Do I want to play the classes I like, get shut down and lose (because nobody is playing Rein or Mercy)". Which I have a feeling is going to be an eternal struggle and kind of a lose-lose situation. Bleeeh.

The Lord of Hats posted:I didn't think that Mei's gun reached that far at all, much less as "Close Range" That's her icicle right-click which has very low ballistic falloff so it actually goes pretty far if you aim just slightly above people's models. Her M1 definitely doesn't go that far though.

anime was right posted:perhaps maybe...... you were the really bad player Considering I was one doing the killing and not dying as much while trying to do the objective, I'm gonna say it's not that. Vermain posted:You're not really going to see W/L stabilize until you're about 300-400 games in, from my experience, unless they've tweaked the matchmaker since the final days of closed beta. Sure, I'm just saying that in beta I seemed to be matched with people around my skill level. After those 5 games, I went on a tear and changed game sessions every couple matches. I'm loving the game and don't have any complaints honestly. I'm gonna take the L rather than some people in this thread who rage quit, that's just dumb and even more so since it's unranked play.

In my Actually First Round I broke up a Rein/Mercy/Bastion combo on the high ground of Route 66 as Junkrat solo while the rest of the team ate it and did not much. Then when a buddy of mine asked how to counter bastion I told him to shoot Hanzo's scatter arrow at bation's feet to vape him with no chance to react. Bastion ceased to be a problem in that lobby. Then we won a couple times. I realize this is generally an unorthodox thing to say on the internet but: Y'all were right. I was wrong. Thank you for teaching me how to beat a scrubby character and get

friendly reminder to not be that dude who defends on a payload map and then leaves because defense is more fun/easier, so now the attacking team doesn't get to defend

Making Bastions blow themselves up with Genji's reflect is always really satisfying.

If you're curious on determining range, the yellow stripes in the floor are 5 meters apart. It's how the Oversheet has ranges. Mei's damage fall off is about 22 meters IIRC from testing. After that her 75 damage Icicles start dropping down to half damage.

TIL you can set up Lucio's crossfader so it works sorta like a sprint, where you hold down the button to go fast and release it to switch to the healing track.

Playing zenyatta is basically playing left 4 dead. *clanking, metallic dragging* " got a road hog around here". I had one follow me through side streets for half of Mumbai, his foot steps became like the jaws theme. He got me once I was distracted by a fight, I never actually saw him until he surfaced.

Luciolo's the guy I've felt the most at ease with so far. Any tips for playing him better beyond "stick with at least one teammate at all times"?

I played with one Lucio that made liberal use of the "gather up" emote and was pretty impressed with the results.

GlitchThief posted:I played with one Lucio that made liberal use of the "gather up" emote and was pretty impressed with the results. Yes if I'm a healer or rinehart I'll verge on spamming "group up with me" because assuming you're in vaguely the right map spot you really should have some team mates. People walking through your shield is tough because I promise you the second you drop it to try to catch up they will turn around and look at you like you're stupid.

MacheteZombie posted:So who has bought the 50 pack of loot boxes? I'm like a page late on 50 pack chat but I bought one. I got incredibly lucky and got 3 of the 4 skins I wanted most + almost 2k coins. I've also gotten 3 legendary skins in 10 levels so I'm pretty god damned lucky. But I'd trade it all in to have my pig in a wok icon back.
