I'm imagining a sniper healer that restores more health the further away they are/boosted heals for headshots/moving targets and it would be a very good trainwreck

Healer with rifle that heals allies and damages enemies, but if you just hit an enemy your next hit does double healing to an ally, if you just healed an ally your next hit does double damage to an enemy.

Blizzard basically doomed themselves into releasing boring healers with the addition of mercy, a hero that can hold down m1 and heal away a billion incoming damage

Lady Naga posted:TF2 has a huge variety of lines because they had over eight years to add them all in. Yeah but Overwatch isn't competing with TF2 of eight years ago, it's competing with TF2 of right now in 2016. It's like when all the lovely MMOs tried to be WoW killers around 2010. Nobody took "But WoW didn't have [x] either in 2004!" seriously because, again, release day WoW wasn't the game they were competing against and it wasn't relevant at all. But somehow this excuse is now perfectly ok because Blizzard is the competitor not the reigning champion in this case? I haven't played TF2 since like 2010 and loving love Overwatch right now, I just think that's a bad dumb excuse is all.

A healer where I get to sit in base alt-tabbed and watch funny vines while I support my team. If I watch a particularly funny one it gives a temporary healing bonus. Veib posted:Yeah but Overwatch isn't competing with TF2 of eight years ago, it's competing with TF2 of right now in 2016. Also no it is not in fact a lovely excuse to say "tf2 gets an unfair advantage by virtue of having twice the development cycle of a new game" unless you expected Blizzard to keep Overwatch in development while they added in a bunch of VO.

Thoughtless posted:The only reason I doubt Reaper being a joke is that this is Blizzard, who have written characters exactly like him fully seriously before (Kerrigan and Arthas, for example). Kerrigan in SC1 was legitimately good writing. A woman who has been tortured since childhood, used as a tool for various governments, and betrayed by everyone she's ever known is eventually forced to become one with the beast and instead of being another tragic twist she decides that it's awesome because she can use it to kill everyone who did wrong by her. Shame about SC2, but Blizzard hasn't exactly been home for good writing since Bill Roeper left. No idea if there's a relation there or not. Arthas is pretty dumb because his story is a forced moral choice that's widely telegraphed and he's obviously written as stupid.

JIZZ DENOUEMENT posted:Is there a trick to getting your bnet battle tag to appear on Master Overwatch? Have I not played enough hours? Does it only rank the top amount and so I'm just no good enough to show up? This is from a few pages back, but I thought I would help out to anyone just joining in. When searching for your Profile you have to add your #0000 afterwords, and the search is case sensitive. If you mess up either it won't find you. Ninja Edit: Give Pharah a string of voicelines with her MechaQueen similar to TF2's Soldier "Bleep Bloop I am a Robot." Also get an option to set voice lines to Random.

I thought it was semi-confirmed or datamined that the next hero is probably going to be Sombra, a support sniper. I don't know if she has to snipe your allies to heal them, but I imagine something similar to Zenyatta where you heal from ranged.

Nehru the Damaja posted:Doing no damage hasn't stopped thousands of widowmakers and hanzos What sucks is playing on a few strong characters, getting your MMR to a certain level, and then trying out another for a while. After c. 90 hours played, I have 2 minutes on Widowmaker, but I'd like to try her out someday without being a 'no damage/useless' widowmaker on the team. I've tried Hanzo out a bit and it took me about an hour or so to start actually landing headshots and kills so it felt terrible to be useless (and still am), but I also didn't want to never play anything but 2-3 heroes or just play vs AI for hours before Quick Play. I guess once ranked comes out, it will be a bit better. All of the hardcore W/L K/D people will play there, only selecting the top tier heroes, and QM will be filled with 6 Hanzo v Hanzo matches.

Imagined posted:I mentioned this in the whining thread as just a thought, but the more I think about it the more I like it. I was wondering how to make a healing class that pubbies would actually play. How about making an offensive healer that heals by dealing damage? Sort of like a Warrior Priest from Warhammer but with guns. Maybe he's in the Zarya/Roadhog class of offensive tank but instead of a damaging ult his/her ult is a huge fuckoff AOE heal. Huge fuckoff AOE heals aren't that good, your team needs constant care over time. See: Zenyatta who has the worst support ult

Her right-click is like a dang sniper shot too. I've only played her for about 30 minutes, but she could be really annoying.

Indecisive posted:Huge fuckoff AOE heals aren't that good, your team needs constant care over time. See: Zenyatta who has the worst support ult Yea, not a fan of his 'burst heal' being in the form of an ult. It can't prevent 1-shots like Lucio, recover from deaths like Mercy, and his healing is weaker than either in general. I enjoy playing him too, and he is my highest-played character, but he could use some love. I'd rather they tone down his damage in exchange for better healing and faster travel times on his orbs.

See: Zenyatta who has the worst support ult You say that but as a regular support player it's sometimes better to have an ult that keeps yourself and everyone alive over an ult that requires you to survive and everyone else to die to be useful because you're not always going to be able to expect that rocket barrage or death blossom but you have time to react to it and negate it as Zen whereas with mercy if you're caught with the team when it happens you're all screwed.

WAY TO GO WAMPA!! posted:I briefly played Winston but wasn't sure what I was doing (only had like 10 seconds in the match). I'll check him out too. Is it similar tanking to Reinhardt? Or is it more mobile? Winston is far more mobile than Reinhart. You can leap up and smack down the snipers or leap behind enemy lines, harass/kill the healer, and leap out. His shield is also something you can place and has protection from all directions, but not as spammable as Reinhardt's. He's a great compliment to leap around when Rein has to be less mobile holding down a door or payload. He's also the only character that I like when I see a genji or tracer approaching.

I'm just trying to think of ways to make an offensive, front line healer who can help lead a push from the front instead of follow at the back, to make a more "fun" healer that appeals to people who like to DPS. Maybe a slightly tanky short-range character who pumps out an AOE heal with every hit they land, in proportion to how much damage it does? So it would be somewhere in between the steadiness of Lucio's aura and the raw single-target healing of Mercy.

He is a god-tier Widowmaker and it's pushed his MMR so high that now he's trying to learn Genji and some other dudes at a tier where he gets instadunked for any mistake. I'm glad my general incompetence will never push me that high

Zenyatta's ult has its uses but it really has a hard time being as useful as lucio's (shielding is almost always better than healing) or mercy's Actually thats my really big beef with zenyatta's ult - it's just so much less useful than lucio's given that the most devastating good ults or even some characters' standard damage output instantly kill through it.
