I'm watching the Agents rising overwatch tournament over at (https://www.twitch.tv/esportsarena, grand finals coming up). I have learned that competitive overwatch is over half the time Mccrees just firing high noons at each other.

I may be biased as someone who plays a lot of Genji but what a dumb list. The text isn't even worth reading, it's just a list of each characters' pros and cons. Like yeah, thanks for letting us know Roadhog is a slow character, was wondering why it took so long to move to places with him.

This sounds like a dumb thing but it feels like getting on fire as Mercy requires you to use your ult. Lucio seems to have it easier just by having his healing aura on.

lazorexplosion posted:You know who I've never seen be very useful? Reaper. Reaper I sort of like since he's basically this game's equivalent to the Spy (I think?). His whole purpose is to teleport behind poo poo in unexpected ways and get the drop on snipers. I just kind of wish that the teleport placement was more precise since 9/10 times I end up teleporting right on the edge of a cliff directly in vision of a poorly placed turret out in the open below that could easily be shot down if the other half of my team decided to go pharah or something considering I'm already keeping the snipers busy. I will cede that he's probably the least 'flexible' of the offense classes. His skillset doesn't make him exactly useful for versatile things such as Phara's area denial or McCree's flanker punishment. He's just a closerange shootymans who can run away safely. https://gfycat.com/TartAmbitiousCrossbill Here's a highlight where I quadruple-killed people on the point. There's no audio in this clip of course due to hosting, but the entire encounter ended as a team kill.

Genji is probably the closest equivalent in terms of what he's supposed to do in a 6v6 environment, but the absence of invisibility and slow, patient gameplay in Overwatch is very much a deliberate design point, e.g. Torbjörn actually needing to shoot his gun at people to be effective in contrast to setting up a nest that can only be busted by Uber on some lovely meat grinder map like Dustbowl.

Are you shooting the enemy too? That's a big thing with Mercy. If you don't need to heal and there's no meaningful damage-boost target you should be shooting. That builds your meter fast.

Mercy gets her ult up really fast. When I started playing Mercy I was really conservative with it and now half my resses are a like one guy. There's really no point in saving it when you are going to have it up on the next push anyway.

Nah, Reaper is a lot more like Spy than Genji, Tracer is more like the Scout. But yeah, Reaper has weird shotguns for meatshotting like Scout did, but his purpose seems to mostly be similar, get up close from unexpected angles/locations to instagib people, mostly threats that are harder to take out for your further away team. Really most classes in this game don't share that much in common with their TF2 counterparts since this game is heavily based on skills and not just autos, the closest class is probably Pharah to Soldier or Mercy to Medic honestly.

So I know that armor is good against stuff like bastions turret and 76 and other rapid fire heros but I also know Reaper and D.Va kinda work differently with armor. Is Reaper good for tearing through armor? How does Armor reduce his damage since it's multiple shots all at one?

Nah, I've gotten it plenty by keeping my team alive during a heavy push while standing on the point. The combination of healing, objective, and assist bonuses boost your on-fire by a lot. It is easier to do this on Lucio, but he doesn't get the assists as easy as Mercy does, so you'll always want to either be shooting someone yourself or boosting someone who's shooting the enemy.

^ any skill that lets you avoid dying. I was playing Mercy with some goons tonight and discovered this game can be fun. I was 0/10 until then! I love the fact that there are heroes in a shooter that don't rely on you getting sick head shots to be a key player. I also love that mercy has somethign she can do when she's not healing, and her movement is amazing when a tracer gets behind you you just start flying across the area haphazzardly while still healing or buffing people! Fun!

The best change Valve has made in Team Fortress 3 is making the turret not have loving knock back.

Is Reaper good for tearing through armor? How does Armor reduce his damage since it's multiple shots all at one? This also applies to Roadhog and Torbjorn too but yes, armor in this game is pretty much worthless against shotguns. It shaves off 5 points of damage but counts a shotgun blast as a single instance so taking Roadhog as an example it will take a full blast from his scrap gun from 225 damage all the way down to 220. Now D.va's blasts work the same way but armor is actually much better against her because her cannons are very low damage and fire rapidly as opposed to everyone else with shotgun type weapons who fire stronger blasts less often. So armor reduces Reaper's or Roadhog's DPS by less than 5% but reduces D.va's by over 20%.
