Lowered my sensitivity, definitely going to take getting used to. I keep wanting to pick up my mouse and recenter it on my mousepad and doing 360's is frustrating.

Minrad posted:Anubis Point B is probably the best designed control point in the game Probably, yeah. Anubis is a very good map. Conversely, gently caress Hanamura. That map is so incredibly biased towards the defending team, on both points. On A the entire team has to go through one single choke point within sight of the point, and on B the point is so open its impossible to get to it without the entire defending team being able to see you coming. Point A really badly needs the side alleys on both the right and left to connect to the buildings on the other side of the big door, and I don't even know what you'd have to do to make point B less unforgiving. It isn't completely insurmountable but it's really rough. I really enjoy every other map in the game but I am never happy to see Hanamura start loading up, it's always a slog.

Papercut posted:I think earlier in the stream he said the only two characters he thinks are op are widowmaker and Lucio. Not exactly the same question but I think in general he thinks the game is pretty well balanced speed boost is just so drat good at everything that im amazed only lucio has it, the aoe heal in deathball fights is almost as good and that's saying something. be awesome if there was a medal for "time saved for allies running places."

Try to give it a solid go, it takes a little getting used to getting your elbow involved if you've been on a wrist-only sensitivity. But if you really hate it and you don't have a super competitive mentality, don't be too afraid to change it back. It is better, but it's not the be all and end all of being good at the game or whatever.

so a long time ago I was wondering how to stop being bad at aiming and people told me to drop my sensitivity which made sense to me because I had set it up to insane levels in every game, mostly because I played a lot of Hammerfight and if your sensitivity is low that game is literally unplayable so I was used to minute movements sending my cursor flying across the entire screen I set my sensitivity way way down and it felt unbearably slow and I hated it but I powered through and kept at it and eventually got used to it only to discover that my aim was still bad, and that the reason was because I sucked what I'm saying is that your sensitivity is probably fine and the best way to get better at aiming is to stop loving with your settings and practice until you suck less with those settings you should turn mouse acceleration off though because that will actually make your aim suck

Man, we got wiped by a premade. At 99% overtime for us, second point, I called out a Mei ult, TOLD people to wait for my ult to get on the point, I throw the ult and...welp. Then we lost. (how do I know it was premade? Double McCree, double Lucio, Zarya and Widowmaker)

Any colorblind goons have the secret to these color options? I played with them a bit and it seems like my options are: - squint at nearly invisible red text against dark blue sky - have visible text, but the game world is psychedelic garbage rainbow-barfing-unicorn land

It would probably depend on your particular type of colourblindness though; have you ever had a proper test done to check which one you have?

I've started playing as Symmetra for like the first half of some maps on defense and I'm finding her to be pretty good for keeping up the pressure with a teleporter. She can really drain HP if you can stay locked on on someone without dying.

I think I remember someone from Blizzard saying that having a Symmetra boosted a teams chance of winning more than any other character. She's amazing in the right situations. RMB is great for spamming at Reinhardt rectangles, and with LMB she's more deadly at close range than all but a few heroes. And fools will walk into turrets forever. That being said, she's almost completely worthless on offense, not very good on second points, and some heroes like Winston completely shut down her turrets. Plus she's in support, but is no replacement for a healing class.

Here are some things I've learned over the past few days: 1. It's kinda pointless trying to heal most pubbie teams. They run every whichaway and die die die. 2. It's sometimes OK to play Reinhart in pubbie teams. About 40% of the time they'll form up ranks behind you and actually try to do objectives. 3. It's never too late to lose on a pubbie team. Once victory is within reach a lot of them will suddenly go WHEE across the map, splitting up and creating opportunity for comebacks. It feels like I'm facing a lot more organized teams tonight, which is an exercise in frustration when I'm playing with randos. Time to play with goons.

I'm not saying I'm great at Overwatch because oh my god I am not but having that happen multiple times has been a bummer parade. Edit: Are there cool goons to play with at pretty much all hours? I'd love to have some marginally more coordinated games but I'm in a weird time zone and I have a baby so I imagine I'm not around at peak hours.

I feel like people aren't super aware of the ult calls yet.

You can actually do poo poo as Lúcio and get to your teammates instead of getting stranded and dying. 2 usually "works" in payload maps. If you're trying to do Rein in attack/defense or KOTH, nope, not happening. 3 is just a sad fact of life. All you need is a wipe, really, and people are back on the game. I like to bitch a lot about pubbies but I'm having fun, when pubbies are super frustrating I just play something that'll definitely lose us the game to get some practice.

Yeah, I try too hard to support the team when it's obvious we're completely outmatched. I should try out some different classes and explore the maps more. Overwatch is a lot of fun and there's a lot to do. I need to work on spatial awareness and understanding the counter game better.

I think all the raving about Lucio is getting him a little overrated and folks are diving into really really really really dumb situations with him thinking of all the goonsay.txt poo poo about how good he is. Yeah, he's good, but if you are seeing the enemy team focusing your tank to the exclusion of all else maybe you are going to need the better single-target healing from Mercy so that your tank can soak up enough damage to serve as a proper tank for your team. Granted, switching heroes to adapt to the realities of the fight is a pretty important part of the game, but if your tank or your healer is the only person willing to switch (and nobody else is a healer, and nobody else wants to tank) there's a problem with the players in blue, not the ones in red. Pubbies are garbage, but poo poo a lot of goons have managed to be completely new at this game too and while it can get a little frustrating slamming your dick in the "everyone is mei or soldier except you and you can't be both tank and healer at all times so well you can't even cap Numbani A" garage door, it's probably going to help everyone out to a) provide helpful, clear advice over voice chat including announcing when you need healing or when you see flankers and b) just leaving and finding another group if you're getting steamrolled because what little MMR data they have is probably throwing the outputs wildly off and resulting in your team of babby heroes getting dumped into a match of people who played in their premade clique every day of the beta from getting off the school bus to mom delivering the nuggets for dinner. Fake edit: also, sometimes waiting for everyone to spawn is a loving terrible idea, mostly in KOTH maps because that percentage ticks up nonstop. If you've got 3 up and 3 down just fight conservatively around the point until everyone else is back. Don't sit in spawn and let them castle themselves in on the point, get in there and keep them mobile. Your grenades or rockets or bullets could mean the difference between winning in OT and losing in OT because they managed to get all camped up in a corner.

Zorodius posted:have you tweaked your mouse settings? got a mouse with a decent sensor, mouse acceleration turned off, claw grip, that kind of thing? are you pre-aiming, so your crosshair is pretty much lined up before you go around the corner? if you have a shoulder injury you'd probably want to go for wrist control and hence a higher sensitivity, but still low as you're comfortable with I'll give it a try again in a few weeks and hopefully everyone who's good is off doing ranked stuff so I slum around incompetently with scrub trash. Or try and rope enough equally old and incompetent friends into private matches!

I like him better in Payload and KOTH too, although in the second I kinda wish we also had a Mercy very often. And "wait for the team" isn't WAIT IN THE SPAWN WITH YOUR rear end IN PLACE UNTIL EVERYONE SPAWNS. It's "don't push into the point/enemies without the rest of the team". Sometimes you have to do that too, because of OT, but engaging safely is a smart idea if you're healthy. It's just that you get WAY too many unwinnable Egypt/Hanamuras where everyone walks straight into bullets one by one and then bitch about Bastion.

I've had a lot of luck solo-queueing support with Lucio and especially Symmetra. For pub games, the teleporter might actually be more useful than rez. If you've got people getting picked off one at a time rather than having entire pushes fail, having a short hop back to the fight solves some of the issues with feeding one runner at a time into the point for entire games. It's sort of a solution for one of the biggest issues with pubs. It negates one of the big downsides to lack of communication. And Lucio is basically unkillable compared with Mercy in pub games. People tend to treat you like Tracer, and don't even bother trying to shoot you, leaving you free to Pump it Up every time someone goes critical. Speed boost is better than heal when you get in a hairy spot, it's not just for pushing out of spawn. I'm 12-5 with Lucio and 6-0 with Symmetra, strictly solo-queueing (though the Symmetra is likely helped by defense being easier in pub games, and I only choose her on defense).

Then I stumble right into it (Up to and including if I flee to a rooftop), but end up it's only victim instead of my clustered together team nearby. Call it a win? I'm also learning fast that to dodge Hanzo's Ult, just dodging the dragon's isn't enough, I guess? "Hah! The dragons are nowhere near me-Oh I died? Maybe it's the whole tube the dragon's spiral through that's the kill zone?"

Just following a team of imbeciles around and healing them in their idiocy isn't going to get any more done than pocketing a sniper.
