People generally do jump a fair bit in console, but people avoid any vertical axis movement with the right stick if they can. It's much more effective using strafing to aim if everyone is ground level. There is still lots of vertical action though. I can pretty consistently hit Pharah out of the sky with Zaryas alt fire and I regularly get wiped by 76s when flying with her.

Got Deadeye, was behind Reinhardt's barrier. Entire enemy team was sort of out in the open. Was about to get a near full wipe when Reinhardt is suddenly distracted by a passing butterfly or something and charges off like a loving idiot and I get murdered horribly.

76 feels so good in quick match. Press button to get kills. You even get autoaim and continuous sprint and self heelz... and a rifle nade.

I really love his design. He's not flashy, but he's got all the tools to effectively fight anyone and his ultimate is a lot of fun.

MacheteZombie posted:

I've noticed a lot of people seem to misinterpret the proper use of movement skills, or are just straight up uncaring about them. Like 76's that never sprint, genjis that are always at ground level, Hanzos/widows that never get into birdsnest areas, hell Pharahs that never fly are all too common.

How do you not fly as Pharah

How is that even remotely possible, that's the funnest part about her

Honestly, I missed it until I actually watched the official instructional video. But yeah, I can now zip into a spot, deal damage, get slammed down to like 20 HP, then rewind back to full health, and zip out. It's loving bonkers.

Had another bunch of amazing games with the Discord goons. They are some chill rear end people. Even when the matchmaking punished us with several KOTH maps with full premades we still kept our calm and ended our session with some wins.

I finally think I have the hang of McCree, Phara and almost Reaper. Only thing with reaper is I don't know how to avoid getting into a 1v1 fight instead of what I want to do and get behind everyone and gently caress them up.

I hope someone got to save some footage from the games we were in. For whatever reason the Highlights only save the first 5 games then none after that. So the legit POTGs I got at the end of matches never showed up in Highlights.

Junkrat's mine has so much goddamn utility, it's amazing. It's a fantastic finisher, it can be used along with his grenades to zone people out. It can be used to get higher ground, escape from a messy situation, separate healers from their team, etc. I've even used it to escape from roadhogs hook multiple times.

if I notice we are getting flanked a lot, I'll throw down a bear trap with a mine on top of it

as soon as bear trap is triggered I blow the mine, free kill

This game is cool and fun, some heroes I still really need to get the hang of. Does anyone have a link to some more technical info on certain heroes? Zarya is a good example of how I just don't get how her shield or charge works.

Also, when I hook with Roadhog, do I M1 or M2 for max headshot damage?

I have to strongly fight the urge to play Junkrat on every single map and regardless of team comp. He's so much fun.

Some absurdly high number, like 2500+. But it's a prestige system, whenever you reach 100 it resets to 1 and you get a different colored/decorated border.

Roadhogs M2 is exclusively a ranged tool, it does a measly 50 damage unless it travels a certain distance, then the projectile explodes and basically becomes a ranged shotgun blast. The M1 is, well, a shotgun, and designed to be used when enemies are in your grill (ie. After hooking them)

Why does Roadhog in particular feed ult? Do you build more charge by damaging HP rather than Armour or Shields?

He has a lot of hit points and a big hit box. So you feed your ult off doing damage to him.

I went into the mumble server the other day and it was completely empty in the overwatch channel. Maybe I was in the wrong SA mumble?


Also, if you team up with goons without mumble or discord, the in game voice comm system is fantastic.

He also has that self heal which usually means a roadhog is hopping out of corners soaking damage, hiding to heal himself, then popping back out to keep soaking your damage. Jacking up your ult rate.

His defensive mechanics are "self heal" and "have lots of hp," meaning he isn't mitigating damage, just absorbing it. Armor doesn't give less ult technically if you're doing the same amount of damage, but it mitigates damage which means yes you build ult slower against people who still have armor left. Mostly it's having no damage mitigation tools though, like Reinhardt shield or Zarya bubbles, since those flat out stymie ult gain.

I guess you could do score divided by games played? Seems like a useless number though.

But as a above-average-but-not-pro player, I've never once really felt threatened by a D.Va because I can just run away or out DPS her with a little dancing. While I've had some quality Winstons eat me alive because it's impossible to escape or they destroy you with shield dancing if you try to engage them.

The one time I said "oh poo poo, D.Va," I was playing Tracer badly and burnt all my charges. I'm especially confused by people talking about Roadhog as if not killing D.Va with the combo means she has his lunch. She's at point blank and you have a shotgun leveled right at a giant head hitbox.

Dealing damage to reinhardt/zarya/winston shields (like, the zarya bubble, her "shield hp" works like normal health) does not generate ult. Getting damage absorbed by d.va matrix doesn't, either. Doing damage to roadhog does.
