Dungeon Ecology posted:trust nobody not even yourself. I was really excited because I managed to log back on, get back into a game almost instantly, the game goes fine, no lag, no nothing, and then everything just stops right as we make our big push for the last objective. Gonna try again in the morning, I guess.

what is it with moron pubbies who think you should never double up on a hero? We have two Soldiers, oh no! ... maybe that makes sense when they have two Pharahs, though?

ItBurns posted:The Winston ult is just so unpredictable that it forces people out of position. This is especially true in Ilios/Nepal where you pretty much need to clear out or die because he can swap targets quickly. I usually play Lucio/Mercy/Widow and he's super irritating. I fired up Winston's ult when I landed on the indoors nepal cap point to force overtime, immediately took a swing at a molten core Torb, and before it could connect I was punted into the chasm by a roadhog ult. I'm sure Winston works for some people, but he doesn't work for me, the only worthwhile tanks are Reinhardt, and D.Va if you use her as a flanker on Volskaya assault and Lian towers. Round 2 was the wooden temple map, I used Roadhog instead; hooked the enemy Roadhog, and halfway through hi being dragged into me suddenly I'm hooked and being dragged to him, where I get gibbed. Working as intended, I'm sure. How long until they fix the netcode again?

When my group and I played it, we called it "Call of Duty Mode" and constantly spammed generic military lines like "TANGOS SPOTTED" and "WATCH MY SIX, RECON" into chat because we think we're clever. It either really annoyed the enemy team or got them to join in.

Granted, it's probably their favor-the-shooter tendency but after playing some in-house games with what was reportedly the high-bandwidth setting on as well as ones with it off, with the same players (in close succession no less) it really is tremendously good. Either that or the tickrate conspiracy is tinfoil hat stuff like I've always thought.

You can sort of see how it fits with their explanation of server-model authority, the client is only allowing a certain amount of leeway before forcing compliance with the data received from the server, even if that data is old. So, what you see is that you get a few steps before being yanked back to where the server last reported you being, over and over.

Imagined posted:Lucio's the best character for absolute noobies because he's useful just being a warm body, and frees up other people from having to pick healer. Pretty survivable too for being self-healing, mobile, and tiny. If I'm pretty sure everyone in my group is better than me, that's who I always pick. Be careful with those Lucio picks. Yesterday I had someone who said he missed a shot because I _speedboosted_ him. I think this was when we were approaching overtime too. I couldn't help but laugh.

If lucio is my team's healer I pick soldier so I can support the mediocre rate of healing he puts out when not amping it up.

Theta Zero posted:Depends on what you mean by "netcode." The tickrate rears its ugly head now and then but I never feel cheated by lag compensation or poor connectivity. It's extremely rare for the killcam to match what happened on my screen during death; sometimes I'm shooting in the wrong direction, sometimes I'm not even shooting at all, which explains why they weren't dying. On my screen I've boosted Pharah into the air and fired two rockets for hits/near enough to cause splash and then died, the killcam replay comes up and I died without ever leaving the ground, let alone shooting. My ping isn't low, but it isn't that bad either.

I occasionally get frustrated with the netcode when I get killed after using a dash or a mobility power. I've had a lot of moments where I blink as Tracer and I'll see myself at the blink destination but then get yanked back to where I was before the blink because the game decides I got blown up instead. Or I'll dash through Junkrat as Genji, be behind him, then randomly explode and in the killcam I'll see that according to the server I never dashed at all. I understand why it happens because those are always split-second differences the game has to resolve, but it feels bad. It kind of forces you to play more conservatively and follow a policy of getting the gently caress out as soon as you feel threatened because you can't trust your mobility to keep you alive if it comes down to those tight fraction-of-a-second reactions, which I guess isn't necessarily a bad thing per se.

Winston will also electrocute bad Genjis who don't know how to get the gently caress out if nobody is there to bail them out, at least. For every Genji that makes me incredibly jelous of their handsome robotic rear end, will be two genjis on the same team that think bunny hopping next to eachother with reflect up > flanking me on both sides so they can murder my gorilla rear end . My Winston is middling but it's always satisfying when it goes well. Flip a coin if you are dealing with a Reaper who knows what he doing and will blow your face off and recoup their health loss with your soul. Or a Reaper who will use constantly use their escape at low health only to awkwardly hover around hoping someone will just let the spooky skull man shoot them to death when he solidifies with 40 health. Perhaps Reaper's effectiveness would be increased, if he could make spook ghost sounds while crowding a Mercy. Maybe then they will be too scared to just pistol execute them when he solidifies right in front of them with no health. I admit I kinda like reaper, but I stay away from him because map design just flies out of my brain altogether once I have to consider proper flanking, as opposed to half assing it with Phara or 76 because they are allowed to shoot things from a safe distance.

Roadhog. Other people can kill him 1v1 but if you want to protect your support people like Winston take too long to kill him. Just make sure you don't waste hook on his deflect.

I played one round before going to work this morning. It was on the Egypt map and I was defending. When the second cap point opened it immediately was being captured so we all doubled back and there was no enemy on the point but it was being contested. A Widow popped her ult and we saw a Reaoer hanging out in the wall along the back of the point. He stayed in there until we eventually lost because there was nothing to be done. Every person in the game was pissed off about it and we all reported him. It was a pretty dumb and annoying glitch. The most obnoxious part was hearing the contested point beeping for four minutes until we eventually lost.

Pro-tip: when a team has two Pharahs that are actually good, please don't stick with a team comp with two Junkrats, a Reaper and a Genji, and then yell at me when I get tired of dying as Lúcio and go S76. I don't care if you guys are really good with Junkrat, you're not piping that Pharah in the face.

Had a ridiculous moment with Reinhardt.. Had gone in with shield up, but team just ran through it, so charged a nearby target. Tracer. D'oh. The charge missed and I also fell off the map.. Whereupon the Tracer, so desperate was she for the kill, chased after me and also plunged off the edge of the map. Oddly, I got the credit for her.

Roadhog is my go to tank when poo poo hits the fan, no one wants to pick support and no tanks? An extremely agile team set up against you? Bastions and large damage stationary ults like McCree and Pharahs? No problem, the Hog has this!
