Have you heard the Good News?

i did not know this combo in fact i did not even know overwatch even had a melee button

advanced genji technology:

  • secondary fire -> quick melee -> dash animation cancels from attack to attack for easy spikes in damage
  • you can cancel Genji's reflect with wall climbing if you want to start shooting again immediately
  • genji's ability to actually be killed by getting knocked off the map is actually pretty low, because you can use the dash to move up or down

The melee attack is really good, because it animation cancels for some heroes. Roadhog is another one that has a great combo, in that you can cancel his shotgun attack into a melee attack, which you can cancel into a skill. You can one-shot another Roadhog without him able to really react if you walk up to him and LMB-Melee-Hook-LMB-Melee, and you can even finish it off with his Heal if you need to, all in about the time it takes to throw out your hook and a half second more.

Another important trick is animation cancelling Reaper's reload animation is faster - press V when his 8/8 shows up and you save some time.

On the topic of reloading, it's faster to reload as Bastion if you just leave and re-enter sentry mode, because reasons. :psyduck:

i had my first instance of a pubbie swearing at me last night

he complained in team chat that he died 4 times to roadhog hooking him into the pit in ilios

i said maybe don't stand next to the pit, he said maybe suck my cock

another pubbie said yes but also maybe don't stand next to the pit


and that's my story of overwatch pubbies. they're almost always just silent(ly bad) in my games.

i have since realized that i think this guy was actually playing lucio, and could have wallridden out of the well himself. :psyduck:

I was solo queuing and someone told me that since I picked last i had to go healer. I told that guy to eat a dick.

I'm starting to think that Pharah is mediocre and needs a movement speed buff of some kind.

So I will learn to live with it. Because I can live with it. I can live with it.



The best case scenario with MMR matchmaking is that long term you'll lose half the time. If you can't deal with losing at least half the time then you may be a whiny baby.

The only time I don't have fun is when my team gets snowballed instantly because then there isn't even time to have any fun battles or try counter heroes or anything. Losing a hard fought round is still great.

I'm okay with losing because I treat them as opportunities to recognize where I'm lacking, such as seeing how I over-extended when I had no business to.

What gets me salty though is being paired against some godly Widowmaker who has 20 years of FPS experience vs. my "I used to play Payday 2 a little bit" experience and my team being brutally shut down and unable to even exist without dying instantly, which seems to happen only when my winrate goes above 52%.

A problem with switching characters midgame is that it means you very rarely get one of the callout cards at the end. They're a really neat idea but currently they really reward sticking to your guns in a weird way that the game design should theoretically not encourage at all.

E: ^- if we're getting stomped outside of spawn I often switch TO D'Va because she's good at getting to the point so at least a few people from the other team have to turn around.

Is Shayed real life job to be Seagull's pocket Mercy?

I don't think I've ever seen a match where he didn't follow him 24/7 like the most loyal pet. I mean Seagull is crazy good, but so many incredible plays wouldn't have been possible without Shayed. :)

Something with horizontal speed. Conc jumping is slow horizontally. Making conc jump work better for horizontal movement would be a big help. She just feels so slow to duck in and out of combat with.

She's their team manager, I think he explained once. When they're playing and not scrimming, she just acts as a pocket Mercy for Seagull, yes.

Shayed is apparently the manager for his team, so technically he's her pet.

Pro strat I found last night: slam pick Reaper or 67 or something so someone else picks a healer, then wait until you spawn and switch to Lucio instead. Then you have two healers and will win, but that's the only way it ever happens. Also Lucio is excellent on all the KOTH maps because they all have a shitload of cliffs.

you're level 40 with less than 130 wins, how does that prove anything ever

are you that reaper that makes everyone lose to get the sick kills and potgs instead of coordinating with the team to play the objective
