Is there some cheat code to be able to move around in turret mode that only pros know or something because I really just don't get it otherwise.

Dying in one second shouldn't be possible. Just LOOK at him mow down my entire team walking up around this corner one by one!

Why would I play something this broken and boring when I could play fun heroes like Mei and Hanzo?

I hate her so much. Vince could've married some young hot gold digger, bought her everything she ever wanted, and still saved tens of millions of dollars. Instead he married an old dumb zombie woman who kicked JR in the nuts. What a bitch
It's the drastic change people make with sensitivity. If you wanna lower it by a ton, knock it down slowly over a week. Instead of playing in mud

With sensitivity the advice I've always given is play at a comfortable level for a while, then lower it by a points. You'll barely notice a difference in movement but you will be much better.

It also helps to think of Bastion players as what they are: A bunch of people who have spent $40, or $60 with the Meadow skin, to sit in a corner and press M1. Money extremely well spent, I feel.

Yeah I figured but I work with a mouse and keyboard for a living and my main hobby outside work is PC gaming and I've never had issues with RSI or anything. Is he gripping the mouse super hard or something? Use a loose grip and don't tense up. Make sure your arms are properly aligned with the desk and you're in a good posture.

If anything repeated rapid small movements with your wrist or fingers are more likely to trigger RSI than broad elbow/shoulder-oriented movements, especially since it's much harder to be precise with quick small movements than it is to be precise with a big sweep

They teach you to draw from the elbow/shoulder in drawing classes for very similar reasons

The buddy system. Roadhog can only really get kills 1v1, and he takes longer to do it than McCree, so hang out with someone else and go kill Roadhog while he's hooking your buddy.

McCree, Soldier 76, Widowmaker, Zenyatta, Zarya... anyone who can do damage.

Roadhog has a ton of health but he's also very slow, has a huge hitbox, and doesn't have any means of escape if you decide to unload on him. He also feeds ult to the enemy team like nobody else.

I don't care if you're a star, the moon, or the whole damn sky, you need to come back down to earth and remember where you came from
Zarya is pretty good against RH because her shield can deny/block his hook fairly handily. Also, he's a really easy target to hit.

When i'm playing Roadhog I also hate going up against Mei in close quarters but that might just be me being bad.

The true enemy of humanity is disorder.
In the closed beta, I got the best zenyatta skin. I was sad my luck would mean I'd never see it again.

In the open beta, I got it again. I was double sad I'd completely exhausted my luck.

At the end of the first day of release, I decided to get 1 more level, 1 more loot box before bed.



I may never get another cool thing in my overwatch career, but at least now I know I could have won the lottery, but instead exhausted my luck on cool ball chucking robot men.

Its alittle rough when enemies are TOO close to you as roadhog if you're not super accurate and twitchy. Gotta make those shots count and quick.

Hit detection with Zarya's primary feels weird to me, its like the collision is drat tight or something.
