Mouse sensitivity chat. Where are all the settings found for your mouse sensitivity? I am on windows woth a logitech mouse, so from what i can tell its control panel, Logitech software, and in game. Do all these settings do the same thing? Control panel and in game are just labeled sensitivity with either a number scale (in game) or tick marks (control panel) but the Logitech software is showing DPI.

I am a bad nerd and don't know what all this stuff means.

Well that it is the weird part as my monitor displays at 60hz and this is the only game that locks to a different framerate.

I know A_Seagull said on one of his streams that it caps your FPS at monitor refresh rate + 10, so if you have 60 then it caps at 70, if you have 120 then it caps at 130 etc.

Speaking of which, I've kept my Vsync on because I always get horrible tearing in every game. Is this a bad thing for an FPS? I know tryhards aim for 300 fps or something dumb but does it even matter for a scrub tier casual like me?

The server tick rate is 20 Hz. 60 FPS is fine.

I use "Logitech Gaming Software" for my G502 to adjust DPI fwiw. But it looks like it's designed specifically for that model; it's got the "G" logo, so maybe it's for all G mice.

Outside of that, I've set my sensitivity to max in Windows, and my OW sensitivity to 28.

Why not? Mercy has a gun too. During the days of "Waiting for Players", I decided to spend the eternal deathmatch as Pistol Mercy. I've been playing her quite a bit recently, and sometimes it's better to just pull out a gun when there's an enemy in your face. In one KotH map I spotted a Reaper teleporting onto the point, so I pulled out my gun and headshot him as soon as he materialized. Never had a chance to move.

If there's an urgent threat to your life which your team isn't noticing or handling, switch to your gun for a second and try to take the enemy out. The healing you're providing will stop if you get killed anyway.

My luck seems to be it's usually a Tracer up in my grill who I just cannot hit, or Mei, who just will not die.

Or an ulting Genji.

As the Mercy player on the receiving end of this much of the time, I'd also like to know the answer :negative:

It's not like Reinhart can really do much to stop them. He has to drop his shield and turn around to protect the healer, and given the role he plays and the positions he tends to take, that's only slightly less bad than the healer using their pistol instead of their heal beams. Besides, Reinhart expects (quite reasonably) his other teammates to be behind his shield and assumes that they will deal with the threat, and his situational awareness is crap anyway since he can't look around without moving the shield too.

Just bought this mostly because of peer pressure, but it looks really solid. I put an unheathy amount of hours into TF2 during release, and this looks surprisingly similar, I'm excited for it.

That being said, in TF2 I mostly played Pyro. Looking at the heroes it seems like Mei might be what I'm looking for, I like how she can lock down people and generally be a dick.

Is there anyone that's more Pyro-like that I should be looking at instead?

Mei is absolutely positively the spiritual successor of the Pyro. Genji can play the ambusher Pyro a bit, reflecting people's attacks back at them while murdering them with terrible attacks at close range from behind.

Shoot guys. Your right-click does heavy damage, has long range, and goes through shields. Your left-click auto-aims and will kill most flankers if you fire first.

this has nothing to do with why you would turn off vsync. vsync introduces input lag which you may or may not care about/find noticeable

this is the reason gsync/freesync are a thing, to have the cosmetic benefits of vsync on without the lag

they will wreck anyone who is dumb enough to get hit, and they go through reinhardt's shield and will hit everyone behind him also.

I'm not going to say you can't heal your telepad because I have never tried, but I'm pretty sure the turrets have 1 HP. Everything one shots them. McCree's flashbang can probably kill them.

If nothing else the shock factor will sometimes get you a free kill. No one seems to expect Mercy to shoot their brains in. I will never stop jerking off to the memory of winning a 1v1 vs McRee

So what is the proper way to use Genji's sword ult? I tend to end up bombing the other team's healers and then just getting a swing or two more before I am melted. Is it something special, or does it just turn you into a shittier version of my new Husbando Reinhardt for five seconds?

Spam charged right-click shots in the direction the enemy has to approach from. They pierce Reinhard and Winston's barriers and do pretty good damage. If an enemy comes close to you, use left-click and melt them. Your primary fires range is very short, but it is very powerful. Even a Tracer blinking all over can be taken out if they treat you lightly. You're also pretty good at dealing with Reinhart if one charges in alone.

I place my turrets in pairs. Death rooms are fun, but splitting them up means you'll likely not lose them all at once. I put them inside a few entrances, on the payload, and sometimes near health packs to surprise wounded enemies trying to heal up.

Her best ability is her knockback on shift, and stealing kills. Never engage in a fair fight, always be flying around in hit and run tactics.

D.va is strong because she can get up in peoples faces, and when her mech is gone, poke at people until her mech is back up

a D.va that can get away and consistently resummon her mech is frustrating and just soaks up damage that would otherwise be killing squishier teammates

Close range only. Fight in cramped spaces or get the drop on people, then mow them down at spitting range before they can distance themselves from you.

Dva has auto-shotguns. Don't bother using them anywhere outside of short range. That's kind of the trick I guess. I see alot of pub Dvas shooting across the map and all they achieve is giving away ultimate charge to people killing the tankiest character in the game.
