I think that just nerfing the overall damage on fan is probably the correct choice. No, it doesn't make perfect sense, but it's better for the game to have it be "Kill this Tracer while stunned" rather than "Go-to melt anything button". A cooldown would prevent the fan-roll-fan combo, but I think that's an imperfect solution.

Next Overwatch map should just be Alterac Valley. 40 vs. 40, matches last for several days. Lok'holar the Ice Lord. The whole shebang.

Stabbey_the_Clown posted:Blizzard is going to take a look at McCree and D.Va. On one hand I'm really glad they're aware that D.Va is in a weird spot because she's probably the character I have the most fun playing.. ..on the other hand they don't seem to have any idea what they actually want her to be/do and maybe that's why she's in a bad spot to begin with?

is it bad that mccree is the char i least want to hook as roadhog because he can potentially randomly just react to me pulling him in by doing his full combo and straight up killin me

If they don't want D.Va to deal more damage, just give her unrestricted flight (and maybe the ability to shoot). She'd still be fun as hell without being too good at killing. It'd also help make her ult more reliable.

They probably want to stay in universe so they would probably never do a crossover map but I think it'd be pretty awesome if they made a payload map out of Alterac Valley. It's perfectly laid out for that I think and it does what Overwatch maps do where the theme changes as you go further into the payload (Alliance -> Horde). Escort a hovercart of explosives or something into the Horde base or whatever idk. I also really want a Garrosh skin for Reinhardt

General Morden posted:why is the hook stun duration not constant wtf So that there's some counterplay to getting hooked from 20 meters (half a torb turret) away. As far as Roadhog design problems go it's probably the most inoffensive. E: Is graviton surge's damage a single instant or a tick?

It'd also help make her ult more reliable. Her ult is like the only good thing about her right now though. All of this has been said a hundred times already, but it just feels like her kit is working against itself. - She wants to flank/harass instead of tanking but her E is a 100% block shield - She has tons of HP but the biggest hitbox in the game almost completely negating it - She needs to be melee range to deal damage, but slows down to a crawl when firing It's just... weird.

RPATDO_LAMD posted:More importantly why does it sometimes randomly drop people off to my side or 3 feet in front of me instead of the normal location. If there ends up being an obstacle between the hooked target and roadhog, it will alter where they end up. Common example is how sometimes you hook a target and by the time they actually stop moving on your screen they are behind a wall and your hook is going through the wall. They get pulled towards you around the wall which changes their trajectory and they will end up on the side of you opposite of the wall. Any other similar situation where an object is between the target and the hook before reeling them back in will cause them to move as well.

RPATDO_LAMD posted:More importantly why does it sometimes randomly drop people off to my side or 3 feet in front of me instead of the normal location. I believe it's because either the hook partially inherits the target's momentum (causing them to be oddly displaced), or because the server determines that this is the safest/most accurate place to plop them so that they don't fall through the world.

Hi thread! Last night we organized some goon inhouses and had a lot of fun! Tonight we're going to do some more. If you've never joined community inhouses before they're a cool way to get better at the game by playing with and against familiar players instead of quick play randoms. Look at Countblanc's thread for details. Make sure you're in the discord channel around 9pm EST because that's when we'll get the ball rolling.

Her zero suit form is kinda strong so long as you're not actively being shot at. Also it doesn't hurt that everyone's hammering the button to make her say "Winky Face" throughout the match.

I thought it was actually "buffed" in a sense; even tiny obstacles like poles used to block it but now you need to get properly behind cover. People have just caught on that you need to get to cover, which honestly isn't hard at all. Go around a corner, stand behind a wall, jump inside a building. The ult isn't good at getting kills, but it serves as a pretty good area of denial tool (because if they don't get out of the LOS they're incredibly dead).

You're skilled enough that you're playing against people who don't die to D.Va's ult anymore. I never see people die to it now or even anyone picking D.Va period.
