Prav posted:the black bars are a nice touch It wouldn't be big enough without them. I love the feeling of playing as Reinhardt and slowly advancing on the point with my shield up. I hate the feeling of reaching the enemy front line only to realize that my team is still three chokepoints back because no one followed me.

Drakes posted:Try characters that do alot of damage in as few shots as possible so you don't have to track Tracer constantly, not to mention her blinking away the moment someone with an auto weapon dumps into her. McCree is pretty solid, flash will get her while he can single shot her with 2-3 hits. Roadhog can punish hard if Tracer skirts away to where his alt-fire can oneshot her, not to mention having the hook. Pharah/Junkrat can hold their own fairly well with some decent leading and having some ability to create distance where Tracer can't touch them. S76 is alittle reliant on his rockets otherwise Tracer will just blink away before your auto shots can get her. Hanzo can be kinda a crapshot depending how well you can aim scatter shot or headshot with arrows. So Roadhog and McCree >:] McCree seems to be the universal counter, woo Incidentally, how does the SA Overwatch Discord group hand out invites? I'm not on the spreadsheet and literally just registered for Discord on a whim and instantly got an invite to the group? ?!? !?!??

Warming back up to Symmetra again from a few betas ago but they really need to retool her E ability (shields). 25 shields is useless. Yes, 50 was too much particularly on characters like Tracer but 25 is right there in "why even bother territory."

Yes, 50 was too much particularly on characters like Tracer but 25 is right there in "why even bother" territory." Maybe keep the 25 shield, but give Symmetra a healing aura exclusively for shields? Torbjorns armour is also nice, but doesn't seem to regenerate when you pick up an hp pack which makes it only really good for a single encounter.

Thumbtacks posted:What's the deal with his ult? It doesn't do as much damage as it looks like it would and the knockback is kind of annoying to try and fully hit people with it because it just moves them out of the way. In addition to the other comments, it'll actually do pretty decent damage if you are pushing people into a wall/corner with it. They have nowhere to go so they just keep on eating shrapnel. Obviously they can fight back but against hurt/squishy characters they won't last long enough to kill you.

Thumbtacks posted:What's the deal with his ult? It doesn't do as much damage as it looks like it would and the knockback is kind of annoying to try and fully hit people with it because it just moves them out of the way. It's really a knockback ult, not a damage ult. Rather than trying to kill people with it, use it to push them away, scatter them, and break their formation. Good for something like clearing a highly-contested point. You can kill someone with it by forcing them into a corner and pinning them there till they die, but it's kind of a waste of the ult. NTRabbit posted:Back in closed beta I used Roadhogs ult to blow a shield Reinhardt off the cliff on the first Hanamura cap point, but every time I try the ult on a shielded Reinhardt now nothing happens, the knockback doesn't work through the shield. The knockback doesn't work through the shield, but the shield is big enough to get hit by the entire thing in spite of the massive spread, so the damage will break it pretty quickly. immortal flow posted:So Roadhog and McCree >:] McCree seems to be the universal counter, woo Winston destroys Tracer. Symmetra kinda does too if the Tracer wanders too close to her, but she's a lot squishier so it's less of a sure thing. Their auto-aim weapons totally shut Tracer down.

Things that surprised me about Overwatch: - How fun Tracer is. I hated playing the Scout in TF2. I am no longer a young man with cat-like reflexes and an overdeveloped forearm. Despite these handicaps, she's super fun to play zipping around and dropping my payload of BBs on the enemy's heads. -Roadhog hooking Reinhardt out of his charge gives me a sense of smug satisfaction that I'm not letting another kid on the playground have any fun. -D.va takes finesse to play. Did not think mechgirl would be anything but rockets and machine guns, but she's semi-fragile and her power is not as obvious as Reinhardt or Hog. -How I'm not bad with Hanzo. I hated sniping in TF2, so I would always be that one rear end in a top hat with the huntsman going offensive sniper if burst damage was what we needed. Turns out this was valuable practice! -There don't appear to be more than one or two boring characters (looking at you Mcree and Reaper), and this is probably more due play style than anything. -This game is fun in solo-queue. I love playing with my 6-stack, but with them I'm always choosing my best heroes and what we need. In solo-queue I get to pick whatever the gently caress I want and experiment.

So after playing about an hour on each hero, I think I've finally settled into a groove of who I like the most. Zenyatta is still my boy, and I'll try and hop onto him at any opportunity. He absolutely wrecks things in a team fight. Kinda sucks that he's super slow and gets chewed up by snipers on a ton of maps, but I try to stay in a group, so I guess I don't feel it as hard. Genji is my go-to for a flanker. People are still really dumb about his deflection ability, and I've shut down so many Reaper and Bastion supers because of it. Plus, if I just need to buy time, double-jumping around like a fool works pretty well. Junkrat absolutely cleans up when I have to defend. Years of playing Demoman in TF2 have payed off. Hanzo is my sniper on offense. Widow is my sniper on defense. The key is to keep moving around to different vantage points to keep the fear of getting an arrow/bullet in the noggin alive. I almost never go sniper, but if we could use one, I'd say I'm not too shabby. Symmetra is my builder on payloads. Trob is my builder on capture points. People this early in the game still can't handle either and absolutely refuse to try a different path. It's crazy. And I haven't found a tank role that meshes with me. I thought I liked D.Va, but her range leaves a ton to be desired. Then I thought Reinhardt would be a good fit, but again, his range is minuscule. Roadhog doesn't put out enough reliable damage for me. Oh well, can't have them all. Game is fun as gently caress. Hoping more people join the Goonerwatch group on PS4 so I can get more reliable parties together.

Speaking of ults, what am I supposed to be doing with Winston's ult? I can't even really tell what's going on. I've been pretty successful with Winston but I basically never remember to use his ult and when I do I feel like I just jump back and forth into corners and swing at air.

When his ult is active, both his melee attacks and his jump knock people back, and people naturally tend to run from a big raging ulting gorilla. You won't get many kills but you can scatter the enemy team, knock the tough ones out of position, and scare the crap out of their supports and flankers. Jump in and soften 'em up for your team's big push.

So basically good as a starter disruption to your team's push, or to scatter the opposition from the objective to buy your team time to get back from spawn, that kind of thing. Question on voice chat: does it automatically confine itself to the same channel as my text chat? Like if my text chat is set to a friend, voice chat will be as well? If not, is there a way to control who hears you? I basically use it to shoot the poo poo with my friends so I don't want to annoy the rest of our team.

Also - you can almost always RMB out of a Roadhog hook and this often leads to hilarity (or killing him 1v1 if he's bad or there's a pit nearby)

Is there a more pointless card in the game than Mechs Deployed? Congratulations, you died a lot and then spent longer than your respawn time getting your mech back? Even Reaper's "Souls Consumed," which gets way too many votes on "WHOA poo poo YEAH THAT SOUNDS BADASS" appeal is at least a net positive.

Yeah I just came off a round with Reinhardt and was effectively tanking for nobody because every idiot thinks they're some sweet flanker who can 1v6. My job was basically shoving the cart by myself and then turning the giant group of enemies in front of me into mushy with Hammer Down.
