I hope you guys keep them up, they're entertaining as hell, even when you have the spectator spot, or maybe even moreso then, since you zoom out and catch the whole battle and do a little casting.

maybe it's because i played a shitload of rts but the whole deal of having UI be on the edges of the screen never bothered me. In fact I kind of want UI elements kept out of the center of the screen which is the info i really want to focus the most on. not that I'm good at clicking on people, just the peripheral UI does not seem like a real problem

I try not to leave even if it's round end and my team got steamrolled. Usually it seems like the people who were raging the worst about how they were doing everything and the team sucked will leave, and the ones that have the patience to stick with it for the next round tend to be better players. Constantly leaving and fishing for a better game may be the worst way to actually get one. Unless I get a loot crate, in which case I've got to drop immediately and go get my sweet duplicate sprays.

In fact I kind of want UI elements kept out of the center of the screen which is the info i really want to focus the most on. Most gamers are used to peripheral UI since the information is there, if there's a major state change you'll usually catch it in the corner of your eyes if you're attentive, and it doesn't overly clutter the center of the screen. That is, the part of the screen that's most important to the player's ability to read silhouettes and situationally adapt. The vast majority of FPSes do it this way for a reason. And some, like the CoDs, do away with health bars altogether. I don't have to be staring directly at the corner of my screen to see that an orange square has just turned white with a flash and a little chime to tell me an ability's off cooldown, there's enough peripheral information there that I don't need to distract myself from the actual game in front of me.

I haven't read this whole thread but I guess I"m the only person that thinks Symmetra's turrets need to be nerfed badly. Given I spent the afternoon wreaking people on defense with someone else playing Symmetra and the other team being unable to advance at all.

Symmetra's turrets are going to give her a pretty fast teleporter, which isn't really consistently avoidable since if one of her teammates contests the corridor she places them in, said turrets will almost certainly damage done. However, if the turets are repeatedly killing people then those victims are very obstinate in choosing to die to the same thing over and over again.

Incoherence posted:It's less that it's inherently hard to see and more that it's off in your peripheral vision when you're focusing on the center of the screen. Yeah it's not hard to look at and read it easily when you're bouncing around spawn punching basketballs. It's much harder to split your attention to it when you're fighting a Tracer and a D.va while trying to stay out of the line of fire of a Widow and making sure the Mercy who's healing you isn't taking hits from a flanker. You need to be able to read it in a fraction of a second without actually looking at it. Ironically, the UI design makes it way easier to see enemy HP (bright red bar for HP contrasting with empty space for no HP, near where you're aiming) than your own. That's a complete reversal from almost any other game in this genre, where they usually don't show you enemy HP at all but make your own very obvious.

I just looked up the most popular 'picking a tf2 hud' video on youtube and most of the recommended ones move the health bars up and closer to the middle from the default so I don't think I'm totally insane for thinking that'd be nice. I'm not saying it needs to be moved for everyone, I just like customizable UI's in general.

Every time you take damage your character should say 'I'm currently in the process of being shot, I should find a nearby health kit or go see if my friends Mercy or Lucio can restore me to full health'

Not going to lie, that's caused a few moments of unnecessary panic unless I'm a Mercy or Lucio because you just sort of get used to being hurt and near death all the time when you're trying to keep other people alive.

LITERALLY MY FETISH posted:Set up your teleporter as bait for a trap, maker her walk into your turrets to get it. She'll still probably get it, but she'll die for it. The problem with FtH is that it doesn't finish firing until after the person is unstunned from a flash, like the last few bullets come out after the flash wears off. This means a Tracer and just mash rewind, or that Reaper can mash Wraith Walk etc. Even if all 6 bullets hit them consistently, you won't actually kill them most of the time. It's really bad when a Genji can mash out reflect, bounce the last three shots into McCree (when a Genji reflects FtH it gets way more accurate) and then melee dash into the McCree to kill him.

Flashbang has always lasted for only 3 FtH shots. It used to do 235 damage before the stun wore off, now it only does 160 so Genji hold down one of two different cooldowns to escape it then murder McCree.

Healing people with him takes a split second of attention. You spend most of the time trying to nail people in the head with orbs. If you wanted to pocket heal someone from cover you'd play mercy.
