Get rid of WM's gun, put all her damage on the mine, reduce the cooldown of both abilities so I can play Needlessly Sexy Batwoman.

This is a good idea.

Well no poo poo. I thought his orbs had tracking outside of his Discore/Harmony orbs. Maybe that's why I'm so poo poo with him.

Do his orbs has perfect accuracy like Genji's stars do?

As in do they fire in a straight line? Yes.

i won't spam this thread after today but I wanted to get word out and things are messy rn

is there a skill expectation, or is the only expectation that one try? Try... "hard" if you will?

i like organized lobbies that get away from the Lets Pick Roadhog and D.Va Every Time And Never Switch No Matter WhatTM game as opposed to the Overwatch game which is much better imo, but my mechanics are... well there's lots of room to improve. which i'd like to do.

Having played Battleborn and this for equal amounts of time now, I want to say that this has a much more satisfying multiplayer than I had anticipated. I didn't fit in with much for TF2, but this scratches some kind of internal itch that I didn't know I had. I haven't even touched Battleborn's PvP but already knowing that this has stolen my attention makes me lament that the interesting character types in that game aren't represented here.
I am also enjoying the gently caress out of pwning people using Lucio on the Xbox One, with a controller, and inverted axis.

That's some really lazy connections. Just plastering the stages inside a bunch of generic stuff. Doesn't look like it fits in at all, which I guess doesn't really matter, since you're never really supposed to see it like this anyway.
Guess it's mostly so you only have to load the maps once.

If hero-stacking is eliminated at some point you're gonna see some hilarious meltdowns when bad Genji/Widow/etc players show up and can't pick the character they insist on always playing no matter what.

That's dumb. a 2-hero limit would be fine, but making it one of each is just stupid. I mean there's kind of a problem right now with 5 McCree's every match, but thats a specific hero balance issue.

stacking your team with 6 of a single hero is gonna get you smashed a lot of the time unless the other team is much worse, at which point it doesn't matter because they were gonna lose anyway

some gimmicks work better than others, sure, but 6 torbjorns in king of the hill is a stupid idea and you're gonna lose. a lot of the time it'll end up like that instead of you winning

Yeah this is why I hate sixstacks, I want to actually play the game and every time there's a six stack it's just an annoying free win.

gimmick squads tend to have have pretty harsh counters because heroes all have poo poo they can't deal with well. you're really just hoping the other team both does not have a good counter to your gimmick at the start of the round and then refuses to change to something that negates your bullshit for the rest of it

It serves several purposes.

The most immediate mechanical purpose is that Commending a person is the same as Preferring a person. Matchmaking will attempt to put you with that person, if possible.

A secondary purpose is that it can be helpful for identifying a) strong points in the enemy's composition, for you to analyze and understand, or b) weak points in your team's composition.

A rare but extremely notable card is the Gold Medals Earned card. Gold Medals are earned when you are the top relative scorer on your team in that aspect - Eliminations, Objective Kills, Objective Time, Damage Done and Healing Done are five, and there might be a sixth I'm not thinking of (Deaths does not give medals.) If someone has a 4 Gold Medals card, it typically means they carried pretty hard, especially if they aren't a Roadhog (who can frequently outperform healers and get a Gold Healing medal). That means they were the best on their team for objective kills, objective time, damage dealt and overall eliminations (meaning they had a high kill participation as well as the objective kills). Sometimes a team just gets carried by some literal gaming god, and that card is usually how you identify such a thing happened. On the other hand, if you lose the game but get the 4 Gold Medals card, it means that you pulled your carry britches up but they weren't good enough because it's a team game, which means there's very little to analyze about that loss in particular and you should move on.

Basically that last line was an underhanded way of saying that if you lost the game and didn't get 4 Gold Medals, there was something more you could have done, even if your teammates were actual babies blowing spit bubbles.

i just 4 golded on a losing team w/ soldier 76, so thanks for this post it gave me something to shoot for on a team that couldn't get its poo poo together. interestingly, my team got all the cards even though they lost.

I have fun when it's an even, tense match. Or when my team pulls a victory out of nowhere. Or when we get absolutely steamrolled but I still feel like I did everything I could.

It's not like it'll even be an issue once ranked queue comes around anyway.
