Otherwise you're just going to have dudes vomiting 300dps bursts every 3 seconds because vertical recoil is a loving joke to compensate for Agreed, 50 within 10m, past that a sharp drop off to 20-25 damage. FTH should be exclusively used in CQC, and honestly now that I think on it I'm not sure why Blizzard didn't make that part of the nerfs, as it solved the "wildly fire FTH into crowd for elims". SUPEREDIT: Actually, no, if his ranged damage is 70-50 then it should sharply fall off to 15, basically making it a bit of a death trap to pick even if you could compensate for the recoil.

Not that many would care but if you had a Clockwork on your friends list I've changed my BattleTag to Imagined (Imagined#11439). People kept asking if I was THE Clockwork. This guy, I assume. I was afraid people might mistakenly assume I was good at videogames. Edit: http://masteroverwatch.com/profile/pc/us/Imagined-11439 Imagined fucked around with this message at 01:33 on Jun 27, 2016 |

McCree isn't even that great anti-tracer. If she happens to blink around the flash, on anticipation or dumb luck, the fight favors her

Night Blade posted:Win percentage is apparently irrelevant. What matters is how you do in each game, medals and stuff. Sort of. In this extremely tl;dr post by Jeff Kaplan, he says that whether your MMR goes up or down is strictly based on wins and losses. Your MMR will never go up by losing a game, even if you get ten hexa-kills. How much it goes up or down, though, depends on your class pick, opponent MMR, your performance, offense vs defense disparity, facing groups while solo, and apparently a lot more. He says they don't use your win ratio to match you, but nonetheless they are very happy to see so many people at 50%. So generally a high winrate means your MMR is going up, but not necessarily. Same goes for low winrate. Your MMR gains for wins might be way higher than your MMR loss for losses. But you'll never know.

Renbot is probably the best dedicated streamer (not necessarily player but most comp reinhardt players don't solo queue as the dude). Moonmoon plays tanks in general but he tends to mostly do Roadhog and Zarya.

I used to be about 400th tracer but now it's ballooned out because I lose too much from the forced 50% win rate. I had some pretty hosed 1000 ping spikes all weekend but I just chalk it up to straya on a US server, I'm already on 60

The talk about rank actually reminds me of a question that's been kicking around in my head: I am actually the 18000th best soldier 76, but in my matches I get gold and silver medals. Presumably I guess this means I am going up in rank? In a world where you hit your skill cap are you presumably not getting medals as frequently as you once were, or getting mostly bronze and some silver?

He's basically the Roadhog of dps classes

The Torb nerf is weird to me. I play on PS4 and I feel like he's exactly who he's supposed to be. A dug in Torb with support from his teammates can be tough to kill, but he's not an unstoppable killing machine or anything.

MO ranks don't mean much, they update account data on demand which means many players aren't in the database or aren't up to date, it's a nice alternative to battle.net own stats sheet and you can only get that much from it

Honestly, I think the Torb nerf has less to do with aim and more to do with how few people use team-chat on console. Torbjorn's biggest weakness is coordination, and many of the most effective ways to counter his turrets involve multiple teammates working in tandem (a tank to draw fire and a heavy-hitter to take it down). Apparently Torb stacks were the real issue here. Teams of 5-6 Torbs were crushing their opponents when on defense, and it comes down to the fact that counterplaying the Dwarf Fortress involves team coordination beyond everyone counter-picking willy-nilly without a unified plan. I'm still not sure it was the right call, because it's one of those balance changes that only seems to consider one "layer" of play (in this case, uncoordinated rando pub games). It is, again, the kind of sledgehammer nerf I was hoping Blizz was trying to get away from.

I think another factor to Torb's mega-nerf may have been the nature of console controllers trying to peek and hit a turret without it firing on them. On PCI can easily just point at the veeery edge of the turret's body to get free hits off and I can imagine that might be a bit harder on high sensitivity setting console controllers.

Does zarya left click do splash damage? I was watching tonight's tourney between C9 and envy. The zarya pov was left clicking into a ult instead of using right clicks at close range.

zarya's alt fire is basically a grenade launcher. it does splash damage, yea. her primary, the laser, doesn't tho when you're charged up, zarya's primary will do more damage I think since it's a constant stream and the alt fire is p slow

Imagine playing every attack for the past two weeks against double torb, with no text chat, aiming left-handed. That's console right now. I played around 10 attacks tonight. All against at least two Torbs, all losses. You can't peek them. A typical encounter with a "hard counter character" is basically: 1. Die and have no idea where from. Watch kill cam to figure out where the thing is. 2. Position yourself to peek it. Jump out shoot at it, jump back in and see you took 140 damage. Grab a nearby health pack. Line up your next shot out of LOS. 3. Peek and shoot. Knock it down to half health before he ults 90 seconds into the match and one-shots you. 4. Swap to a new character and wait until they push past the initial choke so you can have some fun before your loss. 5. Have the game reinstance and drop you into another attack. 6. Go 3-12 for the night.
