God people get hung up on the irrelevant systems in the game. xp and levels is meaningless except for loot drop boxes, commendation is just an easy way to say "hey cool job guy"

I hate it when POTG shows off how bad I'm playing even if I technically got enough kills for the system to commend me. Especially when I'm playing as Widowmaker. Actually any POTG involving Widowmaker is embarrassing for all involved.

Internet Kraken posted:In what situation can I pick Zenyatta instead of Lucio and not just do worse most of the time don't play zenyatta as a healer. discord people at mid range and shoot them. you can kill 200 health heroes in like 2 headshots when they're discorded. discord is really good. if you have to get in close, discord+charge shot will annihilate a lot of heroes easy so long as you aren't standing in front of them, which would be a real bad move. people don't seem to respect zenyatta as a threat so you can chill around some team mates and go largely ignored a lot of the time. I've had gold medal for damage dealt and eliminations a bunch as zenyatta; he's really good e: like I'm not saying not to give people the harmony orb (you should do that), just that playing him as a dedicated healer doesn't work. you can make your best player absurdly hard to deal with by just leaving harmony with them at all times tho Manatee Cannon fucked around with this message at 22:00 on May 30, 2016 |

a cat on an apple posted:Gold Medals are earned when you are the top relative scorer on your team in that aspect This actually explains a lot of confusion I had. I once got a silver medal for 33 eliminations, while I routinely get gold medals for anywhere between 10 and 20. Or how I might get bronze or silver for a personal record even though I got gold in the category the previous game. Or a gold medal for like 3 seconds objective time.

I really hate the stigma that every team should always have one support and one tank and no more, it undervalues the non-healbot supports or every tank that isn't Reinhardt.

I'm hoping this is just one of those things that people will learn over time by osmosis. Like right now a lot of people in quick play will pick a tank, healer, etc. if the hero select says "No support" etc. but then they'll pick a Symmetra and a D.Va and everyone's happy that we now have a "proper comp" In some ways, the suggestions almost do more harm than good.

Your Computer posted:Except double Lucio is really good I hear this one a lot and haven't had much luck with it. The heal auras don't stack and the extra speed is neat, but I think in most cases I'd rather have someone else if we're doing double support. Mercy for revives, Symmetra for extra health or teleports, or Zenyatta to melt people. fake edit: maybe on second thought I'd rather have a second Lucio over a Mercy. But probably not the other two.

A part of me would maybe like fan the hammer to not exist at all and just click heads instead. Case in point: Every organised team running 2x McCree's. At the highest level of play, stun grenade > fan the hammer is a guarantee. Gambling on reaper/mei/pharah/hanzo(literally never played)/anyone else and being able to aim better than your opponent is a gamble, and as long as E > FtH exists, they won't roll the dice.

Lady Naga posted:My favourite hero right now is probably Zarya, she's cool and cute and tough and literally every ability on her owns and she has a high enough skill floor that pubs hate playing her so I'm free to style with her without anyone crowding me. I still have to beat the tendancy to pre-emptively shield out of my head and I still don't think she's as fun as early beta D.Va though. I just got my first ever POTG yesterday, as Zarya. I got it once I remembered that I could throw grenades after black holing.

Harlock posted:I only get poo poo from bad players who say "why u no heal me?" I'll never forget what playing dedicated healers in the original DOTA was like. I'd teleport in and save someone's rear end. They'd immediately turn around and charge back into whatever was just killing them, die, and then blame me for not healing them.

Sanctum posted:When I'm healer it becomes really obvious that a lot of players I'm matched with don't know that healthpacks are a thing. Some near dead guy I can't safely reach spamming for heals for a full minute when there's health in a room right next to him. Teammates everywhere that just wont make use of healthpacks and are totally reliant on you coddling them. I have a hard time using healthpacks whenever there's a Mercy around because TF2 ingrained into me that if there's a healer around you leave the health packs for them and get patched up instead, even though Overwatch plays completely differently.

I don't care if you win a game or lose a game, "GG" is a stupid phrase. If you saw someone on either team play well, say so, otherwise if you won, it sounds like you're patronizing the enemy team, and if you lost, seeing teammates who played horribly saying it is just frustrating. it's honestly better to say nothing at all. http://us.battle.net/forums/en/overwatch/topic/20744904805

Don't pick Zenyatta once you come up against people that can actually aim because you're gonna die if anyone as much as looks at you funny. A helpful Torbjorn or Reinhardt can actually help though. A Zenyatta blasting away from the other side of a Reinhardt shield can do a lot of damage, and the extra armor from a Torbjorn gives him much needed survivability.

It's also just a common courtesy phrase, like in sports. Edit: Oh lol

As a person who readily admits is bad at this game I was having so much trouble with Genji that anybody playing Genji was just a hard counter to me. That is until I decided to try out Mei. Now I can freeze that twitchy ninja poo poo and jam an icicle into his head. Feels so good.

I think I managed to do my first carry today. Specifically, I came in on a payload escort that was already halfway through the initial timer to cap it, and it looked obvious that the rest of them weren't making any progress. I went Bastion, and one quick charge of Tank mode later, we blitzed through the rest of it no problem.
