Most of my "loving around" hero time is when I'm playing with friends, and they know I'm not gonna pull my weight so I don't feel as guilty playing McCree or Widow or whatever the gently caress I decided to try out that game.

Imagined posted:So if you're solo queueing because you want to stink it up learning new characters without letting your friends list down, and you're an actual human being and not a douchebag, how do you join a game and watch no one choose a tank or healer and then resist the compulsion to pick one yourself in order to, y'know, win, when you're really trying to practice your D.VA or whatever? My advice is not to care, especially when you are queueing by yourself. This is a video game, play what's the most fun! The more you feel obligated to play a character the sooner your fun will turn into drudgery, and who wants to pay 40-60 bucks for that?

Fibby Boy posted:Is zarya's shield damage based? Like is there a max amount of damage it takes before blowing up? It takes 200 damage before ending. Most people try not to shoot Zarya's shield because that just makes her angry when it's easier to wait until it drops. However, Bastion laughs at your puny 200 HP shield. Do not charge into a deployed Bastion, because he will chew through your shield and then your health before you get a chance to use your charge. Only edge into Bastion's firing lane long enough to get your 50 charge, then back off and lob grenades at whoever you can see.

Probably a really dumb question. Are games just PC or just console or do they mix?

I have seen matchmaking perfection, and it was good. We were three guys playing in a group, and the other team also had three guys playing in a group, with randoms making up the rest. Had a really nice run of games, where the teams were evenly matched, traded hard-fought wins and marginal losses and it lasted for like two hours. Then the other group left, and it became horrible. It was fun while it lasted, though. I'm also amazed (but not really) at the amount of people who claim McCree is now broken and useless. I'm loving it, though. Can't just go around and E+RMB everyone to death at mid range? Worthless, might as well remove him!

Really wish either Zarya's shields lasted longer(maybe have them last until broken but reduce their amount by half or more), or her weapon had more oomph by default cause it is kinda hard to use her right now, probably the most user unfriendly hero in the game besides maybe Dva or Zenyatta Admittedly it might just be me being awful with timing her abilities and aiming her beam but still

Zarya is just: Do I have charge? Yes - go melt faces No - get charge You get good at shielding yourself and shielding others and the gun has more oomph than just about anything else in the game.

Actual list of Legendary Skins that are “eh”: Lucio: Hockey Skins, because Frogmen are way cooler. Mercy: Imp Skin doesn’t have special voicelines compared the other three. Pharah: Raptorion has same color scheme as stock skin, Mechaqueen looks way beter. Soldier 76: only Strike-Commander Morrison is good because I self-identify as a cis white male. Toblerone: Biker skins pale in comparison to mother loving pirates. Tracer: Personal preference cause she look weird af. Zenyatta: Persian skins are meh when you could be a godamn Fire Genie. Winston: Exploration suits don’t have a mustache.

It's really hard to judge how far it shoots, and I also think hitting the enemy with it just doesn't feel responsive enough. Like there needs to be some kind of impact effect on the lazer hitting the dude beyond the health going down, or a better one cause I don't really notice it if there is. I want to get better with her but those two things just make her feel really awkward to me. Her sheilding mechanic is weird too but I feel like I just need to keep playing her and getting used to them, but the other two things I mentioned I think could stand to be outright changed. Just visually for clarity's sake

He's still arguably the best in the game at picking off Tracer and forcing defensive CDs from Reaper/Genji, but I generally use S76 nowadays as my go-to for generic midrange damage and tank killing.

Imagined posted:Goons, I know you like to suddenly have some really important IRL to do and all flee groups as soon as we lose, but maybe losing two KotH rounds where both teams were near 99% and it went into Overtime isn't a sign that "your group completely sucks and there's no hope for these people". Every loving other goon group I get in seems to magically have infinite time for game after game when we're winning, but falls apart as soon as we lose one game, no matter how close it was. This is because it's less drama to disband the group than it is to gently suggest that someone stop actively ruining your chances of winning.

drat it I wiped out the enemy team as Pharah, then ended the killstreak by pointing my barrage at my own feet and killing myself but the PotG cut out just before my suicide. Way to drop the ball, Jeff Kaplan.

I love enemy torj turrets as Zarya, I'm guaranteed 100% charge every time. I also love suicidal tracers / Genji's because they give me a nice bit of charge when they run in or they get to play around behind the front lines if the enemy team decides not to shoot their shield.

This game really needs a rogue-like character. Nothing would make people rage more. Stealth Camo defensive assassin that when they move around in stealth, they are partly visible only via a small glimmer, much like in Heroes of the Storm.

Countblanc posted:maybe i'm just a hosed up psychogamer, but i dont think "make players rage/be angry/dislike playing the video game" is a laudable design goal It was for Mei. All joking aside - I think a stealth character could work in this. Some sort of character with a chameleon reference - standing close to walls blends you in with the wall textures. I think it would be pretty sweet to have a chameleon like omnic type character. Edit: I want more omnics. I've also been thinking some sort of spider designed evil omnic would be awesome. It's movement ability could be to not just walk up walls, but ceilings as well. Think of Azmodan as a reference for design - multi legged omnic who walks on walls and cealings, shooting lasers and what have you. Caeks fucked around with this message at 05:43 on Jun 17, 2016 |

Maybe if it was their ultimate and only made them invisible in an aoe or something. Then it would work. Just don't make it a regular ability

Sneaking up behind people in Overwatch is achieved via teleportation abilities. If you really want invisibility, how about a support character who can temporarily make allies invisible? That feels closer to the Overwatch ethos.

Zarya is weird in that she's more of a medium-range tank, whereas the others are about mixing it up at melee or near-melee range. She wants her allies in front of her, not behind her, giving her charge from her ally-shield (which has a shorter cooldown than the personal shield for a reason) while she unleashes hell from the second row. She excels at focusing down slow-moving or stationary targets. Reinhardt's shield, Torbjorn's turrets, other tanks and even turretted-up Bastions can be swept away by her pretty cleanly if she can get full charge. And don't wait for the "perfect moment" to pop her Ult. Any time is a good time to cause chaos in the enemy ranks. If you can get three or more people in the suction, just let it fly.

I feel this argument doesn't really hold water considering the amount of stuns, slows and insta-kill abilities in the game, most of which are definitely not particularly fun for anyone involved. How would stealth be any worse?
