Countblanc posted:Still, I hardly think it's worth hand-wringing over something that's going to help a subset of people who currently are at a significant disadvantage play the game. People have been turning down graphics settings and reducing game music/increasing game sound audio for decades, I'm not going to lose any sleep over having a tiny bit more visual information on screen that's going to facilitate a more inclusive game. If they implemented it how would it be handled? Would the subtitles just read "Sounds of footsteps." that pops up from allies as well? Right now footsteps aren't too loud and maybe easy to overlook when things get chaotic, which is probably very intentional so flanking isn't given away so quickly. Very different if they had text springing up that may as well read "Theres a bad dude by you.". Unless the subtitle option was only available with muted sound or something?

You could put little footprint directional icons on the edges of the screen. They'd still be easy to miss in the heat of battle.

Rirse posted:Man I should tried Symmetra sooner, she is pretty fun to play as. Never knew until playing her how deadly that laser she can shoot out can get. It went through Reinharlt in seconds when he got distracted by a turret. Any general tips on to use her. I seem to took some cues from people I played on where to stick turrets. Constantly charge and reload-cancel your orb when you aren't fighting. It makes a world of difference when you run into someone and have a 125 damage orb ready.

Hanzo seems a lot better when you play him like a Soldier 76 instead of a sniper. He can clear a room like a loving champ when he doesn't have to try pull off long range shots. Also a nice counter to Tracer since you're just a giant  who can kill her in one shot and even if she does get back around the corner or rewind your bounce arrow will mess her up good.

I tried this, but I felt too slow trying to wind up the arrows while also moving around to track people trying to strafe around me. Are you pulling the arrows back to full damage or just spamming them? I might also have terrible aim and really hate playing Hanzo and there's always another Hanzo and/or Widowmaker that choose the character regardless of what we need. The only way I can deal with Tracer is to scatter at their feet. If that is on cooldown, I pretty much have to climb a wall or die. I need a good Zarya teammate so I can land an ult that kills 4 people so I can stop playing him for a while (or ever).

I'm not a great shot by any measure so the game seems super generous on aiming because it's pretty rare I'll fluff the shot.

There's a video out there that shows the fact that Hanzo's arrows and other projectiles have a larger headshot radius than hitbox weapons, proving once and for all that Hanzo players are actually bad.

Yet Mei is the only one I've ever seen anyone get really salty about in game. Brutalise someone 10 times in a row with the same three Symmetra turrets and they won't say a word, freeze and headshot them once and they crack the shits something fierce about using a no-skill character.

If you're playing on a monitor that's as large as the BenQs that pros use it effectively "zooms" the game in, and if you stretch it then the head gets wider for you to click on it. it's really fuckign dumb.

I've actually been playing Roadhog as kind of a sniper at times. I'll get on the roof of a building near the objective, then hook enemies on the ground, hit them with the close range shot when I reel them in, then let them drop. If that doesn't kill them right away, they're usually stunned or at least disoriented for a couple seconds once they hit the ground, so I can follow it up with a mid-range shot to finish them off.

I've survived D.Va ults from arms length away because I walked around a corner or got behind a Reinhardt shield at the last second (at least I think it was the shield that saved me that one time). There have been times where the 24hz tick has allowed me to die despite getting behind cover at the last second though. poo poo is ridiculous.

Cover just means the red icon can't get you. No idea exactly how long the range is though, but I 'tested' the red/yellow thing a couple times with Lucio and his speed skates.

I wish Plays of the Game weren't always based on eliminations. The other night I kept hooking a Lucio from a roof, shooting him, and dropping him. That would normally kill Lucio, but he had a Mercy tethered to him. So I must have hooked, shot, and dropped him six times in a row before he finally died.

I don't think I've ever taken damage from leaping off a high ground.

I didn't think so. If the hook+blast didn't kill the Lucio, the fall surely won't. I like to mash M2 on Lucio if I get hooked so I can knockback and escape if the blast didn't 1-shot me. I like ground hooks because they have to turn and escape vs. just fall out of your damage range of M1. It is probably also easier to combo Hook+M1+Melee in that scenario, but pulling an injured healer or squishy out of the group and killing them from above is pretty great.
