I honestly hope scoreboards never make it into this game, it'd incite an already lovely playerbase, and allow them to make even more bullshit assumptions about "why they lost." Just live with the fact that you lost and use the medals (which show if you're in the top 3 or bottom 3,) to see how you did. I also want a mute for global chat. And a mute for general chat. and a mute for allied chat.

What I do if I *really* want to play a character I haven't played in a while and someone else has already picked them is to pick them anyway at the very start of the game, and call the other person's bluff that *they'll* be the ones to then change.

I don't want scoreboards because it makes average players feel bad, which makes them quit playing, which causes the game to die an early death. Proto-Goons from quake/tfc era can tally-mark their stats on a napkin for all I care, just don't scare off my playerbase!

Is that backstory all from when the game was Titan and they just went ahead and used it even though it totally doesn't make sense? Also I just got a Symmetra play of the game. Her energy beam is no joke.

Battleborn sucks since you have to grind out characters because someone thought it was a good idea to lock 90% of them. Overwatch is clearly better.

Had some more good rounds today. On Numbani attack, I picked Zarya with the tank. I think I've finally played her enough to understand and be good with her, which is great because I don't find Reinhart or Winston very fun. I'm still learning when to not overextend (learning this very slowly), but at least Zarya tends to die slowly enough that it keeps the enemy occupied. On defense I picked Mercy and we had a very long hold on the payload capture point, a well-timed dual-rez helped with that. I alternated between healing, and killing, but my team maters were pretty decent at not dying. I got a few eliminations and even took out a Roadhog who took me out at the same time. I killed a Pharah a couple times and made the enemy sniper back off with a few well-placed shots. We stopped the payload just before the point, I used my rez to bring back two guys and shot a couple of the last guys. I finished the match with an 11/11 E-D ratio.

PantsBandit posted:I sometimes get salty about Torbjorn's turrets but it's never approached how much I hated the engie in TF2. In Overwatch I always feel like I have options if I take my time and my teammates aren't loving up. Getting rid of a well-placed turret in TF2 though (especially in payload) sometimes seemed nearly impossible.   The turrets do so little damage but the knockback is the real killer. The turrets are just really annoying, one of those mechanics that is unfun to play against that games would do well to avoid.

anime was right posted:its gonna be cool when everyone chooses a side over the whole omnic thing and then theres going to be a ~huge civil war~ and then right after the battle everyones grumpy and some people get new skins and junk for story purposes and then when the chips are down and no ones got a purpose and everyones arguing within their faction it turns out the aliens and the gorillas are fighting and new alliances are formed thus giving a justification for everyone to fight each other over stupid garbage These posts remind me of an Onion headline: "Pitchfork Gives Music 6.8".

Essobie posted:I think Blizzard should take a page from the Rocket League book in regards to POTG. All players can click to skip it. If every player on the server gives zero shits about what the POTG is it gets skipped. There's so much down time between matches that any effort that might trim that time down a bit would really be appreciated. Of course, just like Rocket League, some rear end is going to force us to sit through the whole thing (especially if they are featured) but at least there's a CHANCE we can get that 20 seconds of our lives back. I think once the game is over you already get the exp and can immediately leave without penalty, or leave as a group, so may as well just do that.

Blizzard is going to take a look at McCree and D.Va. http://us.battle.net/forums/en/overwatch/topic/20744794943?page=5#post-83 Geoff Goodman posted:I've been watching McCree carefully since we've released. McCree's flashbang plays an important role in being a strong option against very fast/agile teams (tracers/genjis/etc). It is also a nice tool to prevent close range devastating abilities and ultimates such as Reaper's Death Blossom. Geoff Goodman posted:Right. I think I wasn't clear enough. By saying 'its probably a bit too good at dealing damage to higher health targets' I mean his flash/fan combo, not the flash itself. Fan is more likely to see changes than flash at this point. http://us.battle.net/forums/en/overwatch/topic/20744914371?page=3#post-43 Geoff Goodman posted:D.Va's damage is definitely on the lower side, much like Winstons. They are this way for a similar reason: They are both very mobile and hard to kill. Every character in the game has strengths and weaknesses, its part of what makes the teamplay work well. Geoff Goodman posted:Yes she gets taken down quickly if she is fighting multiple targets, unlike Winston/Reinhardt because of their barriers. When I say she is difficult to kill its speaking from a smaller skirmish standpoint, which she can usually set up due to her Flight ability.

I play support a lot, and usually Lucio/Mercy. When I'm on the cart or point alone and can see teammates pushing ahead of me I just shake my head. I can't be the only on the point you dingleberries, you're going to get yourselves killed while screaming "where's my heals!?" and blame me for your terrible teamwork.
