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

That's because it is, Zarya's laser really doesn't want to do damage if you just scrim an enemy hitbox.

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.

it takes a lot of getting used to. I miss with it like 50% of the time still and she's one of my primary tanks.

A lot of Roadhogs kind of panic when people get close to them, which kind of makes them easy to fight as tracer. If he lands one hook on you you're dead though (assuming they know their combo)

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.

For the first 13 levels I got nothing but sprays and icons, and then my 14th box gave me that skin. I don't even play zenyatta but now i'm like drat maybe I should.

Ugh good widowmakers really drive up my saltiness, feels like I'm no longer allowed to play anyone with less than 400 hp or direct combat .

Its hit detection feels really weird coming from other characters with automatics, sometimes I get the killcam and its like I do no damage at all.

I had to report a guy for using hate speech, just now, and I realized that that was the first time I'd seen someone doing that in about 8 hours of gameplay since release.

Glad to know that Overwatch is unlikely to end up a toxic community.

Luckily there's less time to type in a shooter than in a moba, which helps some of that

I've seen plenty of super pissy people but not much racism or homophobic stuff yet though which is better than most online games for sure

In just my second game I got PotG as Soldier 76 by leading the final charge on the objective and killing three folks that were standing on the point.

I also spent much of that game lost.

I've gotten called "friend of the family" three times so far. Almost all of my games have ended with someone throwing around "cu.ck" or "salt" because they don't know any other words, which I guess is an improvement?

Just had a match in which I saw the best Torbjörn POTG I've ever seen. I think maybe four or five of us got sucked into Zaryas not-black hole, and that little fucker saved every one of us by just spamming e and emptying his scrap bar. Was hilarious.

I try not to be a dick but if your career profile: eliminations per life, top heroes have a 1 or below... You're garbage and I hate you.

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

I guess I'll just be the dumbass and ask you to define 'properly aligned with the desk', 'cos the way my chair comfortably sits I rest my elbow on the armrest and my lower arm has to rise up slightly above parallel to reach the mouse (i.e. the desk is high). If I raise the chair so my lower arm is parallel with the desk my seating position isn't as comforttable (my legs dangle a touch)

(ed) seriouspost by the way, i wasn't kidding about not really getting good ergonomics. I do software dev for a living, you'd think I would have learned that somewhere along the way, but newp

Soldier 76 is frustrating. You do so much damage doing burst attacks, but hold down your fire a little too long and your shots go every which way.

Just requires discipline, I guess.

which leads the chaos tracer to bitch that "no one picked tank/support UUUUGH" instead of him himself doing it because he has a sick k/d and is helping the team a lot by picking off the other chaos tracers instead of defending the point or the payload or

When you're really on point with Zarya it's a glorious thing isn't it? She's incredibly good in the right hands. Her primary is pretty difficult but when it all comes together the synergy she has is insane.

Also just out of curiosity what is the difference between quick games and competitive pre season or whatever? I haven't figured that. I don't care to ever take this game seriously but I'm wondering where that mode is hidden.

Widowmaker/McCree feel way ahead of other characters with how decisive and frontloaded their damage is. They are also the most characters I hate dealing with most.

the point where mei stops being a good choice is almost certainly beyond the skill level of the vast majority of posteres in this thread, myself included. no you probably dont want to run a mei on numbani offense but not every character is good for every map (or even every control point within a map), the concept of "maining" in this game is stupid unless you're like Vallutaja and a mccree savant. mei is a plenty good character in some situations.

This is how I feel about a bunch of classes. Then there are all these characters I can tell I need to be better at the game before I can be effective with them. And then there are a bunch I haven't even tried (Mei being one actually).

This game is amazing.
