Thumbtacks posted:oh poo poo got sunyatta from a pack If you aren't playing with a group you miss out on so much in this game. Last night was the first time I bothered to join discord to group up and playing is night and day. I was able to play different roles all night instead of being forced onto a tank or support which was great.

I usually play d.va flying around constantly looking for squishies to boost into a corner and gun down. Also taking out snipers and disrupting reinhart shields. She definitely isn't one of the most powerful heroes but she has her place, especially in pubs. In competitive games I'm sure a lot of her tactics wouldn't work, but against pubbies she can be really effective and more importantly, fun to play. Also her pilot pistol absolutely wrecks house, and dying so rarely increases my enjoyment of the game. The other one I'm loving is Zarya. Once you get the feel for how to maintain charge she is really brutal. Very hard to kill, great sustain and can spam grenades better than junkrat when charged up. Only issue is tracers.

Bolivar posted:Wait, I can leave the game without any repercussions when I'm in the character selection screen and the clock is counting to 0 and re-queue to a different game? If yes, this is great information for whenever I see something like Hanzo-Widow-Hanzo-Genji-Tracer. Or when I want to play an offensive class for a change after some Lucio games, and some idiot picks the same class as I have 5 seconds after I have locked it. I can't find any documentation on the leaver penalty. This is based on my own experience. In beta I was flagged for weeks until I kept to these habits. 1. You can leave during the end of game summary. 2. You can leave during the countdown to the round-start. You must not have left the spawns as a defender. 3. You can leave an in-progress match if you are backfill as long as you do it fast. I don't know if the condition to this one is timing, location or action based, but I did it dozens of times in the beta before I began tolerating the lovely rear end king of the hill mode. Fast is safe.

I'm honestly surprised it's not one of her legendary skins cause I think it looks way more interesting than the gundam one I don't know which legendary I like more for Mei, the firefighter or the one with the big feather (the pink one of course)). Both of them are so good!

It only tells you when you've dropped out of enough games to trigger the penalty. At that point you get a warning in your chat at the start of each session, and there's a message about the penalty on the endgame screen when you get experience.

It really is an asinine system with no place in an arcade shooter with 10 minute long matches. It's one of those things that tell you what games Blizzard usually make, and what they think of you as the player.

Winston finally clicked for me last night, and that monkey is a beast. Jump behind enemy lines, drop a shield, kill their squishies, then jump back to safety. Heal up while whoever you killed respawns, then go meet them before they group up with their team. I think I went a whole game without my team realizing the other team had a Zenyatta and Widowmaker who never made it to the fight.

Also, I had three weird matches. There was apparently a 3-person team that wanted to do gimmicks. So on defense they went 3 widowmakers. We beat them in like 2 minutes. Then on attack they went 3 roadhogs, then 3 symettras and lost again but at least got half way there. Third game, though? I got put on their team, and we all went Mei. Guess how it went down?  We won! We would use icewalls to wall people into icy prisons as we slowly freeze them to death. A reaper was using his smoke form but unable to escape us all holding M1 at him. Everytime they used an ult we all iceblocked. Sometimes, just sometimes, pubbies can be ameizing.

Ularg posted:Does it go away with good behavior? Yes. The way it works is they check your 20 most recent games against an unspecified percentage of incompletion. If you have left too many of those 20 games, the penalty triggers. What this means is that with an occasional incomplete game every now and then, you'll play your way out of the leaver penalty very fast. However, if you dropped out of a bunch of games in a row, you have to play much longer to push that chain of incomplete games through your 20 most recent matches. If you're going to penalize people, this is a pretty reasonable solution. People with bad connections and irregular drop outs will be the least affected. It just would make more sense as a system exclusive to Ranked games where the perceived stakes are higher. Attack on Princess fucked around with this message at 14:42 on May 26, 2016 |

At what point can you safely leave a game without incurring penalties? I've ducked out of some solo QMs when everybody on my team selects Reaper/Widow and doesn't budge, but before you're actually in the match. Also the game looks even better now that I forced adaptive vsync, I guess input lag is a problem sometimes but I'm too bad at this game to even notice. Weird that it's not a regular option. exquisite tea fucked around with this message at 14:50 on May 26, 2016 |

Thanks. I've somehow followed a "No Rage Quitting" rule for the past 5 years but my internet sucks (thanks AT&T) so I get dropped occasionally.

It seems to be safe to leave before the round starts while in the spawns, when the round ends, and right after hot-joining an in-progress match.

Friends don't let friends D.Va. If you seriously think you're doing good by pressuring snipers and flanking squishys, you could be doing it way better as a Winston. Also Blizzard needs to fix the godamn POTG, it wasn't this bad in beta. I'd rather watch some shirty Hanzo Ult or Windowmaker chain kill than a lackluster Reaper 2-kill. And Disruption POTGs should really be weighted more heavily, like Winstons knocking everyone off a cap point in OT or a Junkrat/Mei breaking up a healer from their tank in addition to a kill or two.

I don't think this is true. I'd say they are fairly even for harassing and area denial with their ults. The other thing is dva is going to die a lot less than an equally played Winston imo.

I do wish D.Va had a little better ult growth in mech form since you'll spend a significant portion of the match building no ult.

No it's true gentlemen, D.VA can last longer than Winston, but that's because she pops out of the mech and spends the next two minutes trying to survive as a squishy rather than eating the respawn timer and becoming effective again. Seriously, D.Va's own skills don't even work well, for a tank-flanker she can't shoot and chase running targets because her guns slow her down, she can't shoot while boosting, and her other special is designed purely for tanking because she can't shoot while she has it deployed. Meanwhile Winston has none of these issues with his specials because everything works for both flanking and tanking.

I think my favorite part is when Reinhardts don't know that Winston's gun penetrates their shield. I don't know how many people I've seen who just stand there, holding their shield, thinking they're safe.
