I wish pubbies would at least try to protect Mercy when she is being targeted.

Its sometimes hard to notice during the fights or hectic situations. A shortcut for "help" would be pretty useful for that as I cant count the amount of times Ive been healinig in the backline just to meet a friendly Reaper or Tracer. Then again if she is flying balls deep into the enemy team to help Roadhog she is just plain dumb.

Does this guy's aim look suspicious to anyone else

namely the part where he locks on to a falling d.vas head and tracks her for 3 successive shots, then snaps away to shoot away someone else, then snaps back to d.va and tracks her head for a few more shots

just looks like good aim to me, with real low sens. i bet he'd be in trouble if you snuck up on him - you can see him have to readjust his mouse position twice to do a 180 after killing the widow.

What if you could build a wall that when passed through by your team they got the shield

So you could just slap it down somewhere in an entry way and people would just walk through and get it, buff the shield amount but make the deployer destroyable like her other poo poo.

My armchair gamedev idea was to make her E a deployable stationary shield generator with a smaller version of Reinhardt's shield, that wen your teammates pass trough gives them a short speed boost.

Bam, Lucio is no longer the only character with a speed boost and now Symmetra is a full on builder that also works pretty well on attack.

Blizzard, if you're gonna hide the scoreboards maybe letting people look up their teammates' average KD is a bad idea.

The replays are not 100% accurate to what the guy was actually seeing/doing. Two Overwatch devs explained it in some video on youtube about the netcode.

I think you can send it in to them at their cheater report email thing and they can pull up a few more games internally to check him but after watching it a few times I think its more than likely just steady aim, Aimhacks aren't usually that smooth, most of them (at least ones we know currently exist) provide a hard lock on or snap, the Surelock hacking proof is a good example of this

We were defending on Hollywood. Tracer gets play of the game. She lands a good pulse bomb that crushes some people, steps into a side room, turns her back to the wall and emotes, causing the camera to do an EXTREME CLOSEUP on her rear end. Everyone in the server busts up laughing. Tracer: "IT FINALLY WORKED" Me: "YOU WERE TRYING?! OMG" Tracer: "DUDE I'VE BEEN TRYING FOR SO LONG."

I hurt myself laughing.

People who only play one role are bad, mate.

And considering how Casualwatch basically gives elimination credit just for looking in the direction of an enemy, even the most dedicated Mercy main should have a positive k/d.

Mercy's gun is excellent at loving people trying to corner peek as well. Just like D.va's pilot gun. Actually having travel time instead of being hitscan means you can actually gently caress over people trying that poo poo, in between flying around the room healing/buffing like an ADHD witch.

I also enjoy baiting a Reinhardt charge and zipping away to an ally while shooting his gigantic back.

Also, buffing 76's damage while he pops his ultimate and wrecks half a team in seconds is like the best feeling ever.

Mercy is a huge pain in the rear end to actually kill because she can just jet off somewhere else instantly. It's not like just shooting the Medic in TF2. I can understand why people don't try to shoot her instead of the giant fat pig man she's healing

Is there a way to turn off the big red ESCORT/CAPTURE THIS icons? Earlier we pushed the cart inches from the end, but they managed to rally together and there ended up being a turret on it that I couldn't actually see because of the escort icon being in the drat way.

Junkrat's rip-tire can't be damaged boosted.

I'm not sure about McCree's dead eye.

The other offensive ultimates work with damage boost.

God drat it. I spoke too soon. Let me think about it.

Edit. I've damage boosted D.Va during her ult and it played the damage chime and I got eliminations... I'm not sure if it increases the damage though. And I've never been in position to boost Tracer's ult so I don't know.

I'm going to stop posting like I know what I'm talking about. You're calling my bluffs!

I was on a 4 or 5 Winston team once and it was actually pretty legit. You can hop around and nuke people and turrets down instantly. The combo of mobility and pure HP and not really having to aim in a crowd probably make it the best cheesy gimmick lineup.
