The only few changes I would want are... Reaper: Slight damage reduction while using his Ult. It's a bit too situational as it is, and the best counter is for the other team to focus you down rather than running like the Ult should make them do. Junkrat: Give his Wheel of Doom a bit more HP. Junkrat's is perhaps the only Ult that can just be flat-out negated by quick enough focus fire, and that doesn't feel very...ultimate, especially when for some reason his Ultimate bark feels like the loudest in the game. Edit: And/or, make it so his Ult detonates immediately when destroyed, so it still has the possibility of killing someone. Torbjorn: Put his turret damage back where it was on consoles and instead limit his turret's range of rotation. Give it a blindspot behind and possibly above itself where people can safely approach, or force Torbjorn to put his turret against a wall if he wants to cover that angle. Yes, this would make it more like the TF2 turret, but whatever. Symmetra: Change the visual of her un-locked beam to make it easier to tell what its lock-on range is. Zarya: Reduce the base cooldown of shields, but make it so the amount that the shields absorb extends their cooldown. Most of these changes are less about balance and more about making the characters easier to play in their respective roles, but I think they'd all have a positive impact.

Try not to conflate attacking with Offense and defending with Defense (for understandable reasons, really). Offense heroes are good at killing other heroes. Defense heroes are good at controlling areas. Both of these things are important on attack! Being able to secure a large area or shut off a side approach can make all the difference between a good push and 5 minutes of sputtering. Offensive Torb means a constant stream of armor and a turret that instantly alerts you to any approachers (especially useful on payload) and forces cooldowns from defender Genji/Tracer attempting to flank.

there's a thread for your giant weird effortposts about balance you ultraspergs. I got rank 55 with 6/4. one game being a stomp because we were 4v6 pretty okay with never playing competitive again until next season, though.

Ended up going 6-4 in my placement matches. I played my first 3 matches with discord goons and lost all three of those, lol loving goons. Played the last 7 matches with my regular pre-made and went 6-1. Ended up with a skill rating of 53, so I can totally call myself a completely average player at OW now right? Ended the night at 55 after a couple wins. Competitive is good and fun.

BabyRyoga posted:He is probably the most difficult hero in the game to play effectively, so 90% of those people who main Genji should probably be learning fundamentals rather than getting in over their heads. The problem is the other 10%, because playing against any of them is about as fun as playing against a poo poo hot Widowmaker, and I'd really rather suffer a penalty from quitting mid game than have to play against some rear end in a top hat in a Genji who routinely kills all 6 of my team on his own while climbing walls like the loving Spiderman, never failing to hit perfectly timed key combos, and never taking damage ever, and we end up not getting to the first cap point ever.

If someone can play Genji well enough that they are soloing your team, they probably outskill you by a large margin and will blow you up no matter which offensive hero they play.

I still think Mercy's rez ought to require LoS AND be a quick interruptible channel. People will say git gud and kill the Mercy first but there are too many maps where she can rez the whole team from HER SPAWN ROOM on the final point, or at the very least all she has to do is run out of her spawn and mash Q before you can kill her to undo your last push.

Supercar Gautier posted:The wording on the website suggests they vanish when the season ends. I think they want the rewards to commemorate the specific season they were earned in, not just comp play in general. Believe it or not I can't play the game every day for two months... or grind out 12 wins in one evening because I skipped a few days, so I'm probably the kind of player who is not supposed to get the cool cosmetic rewards.

I think you're not meant to build up the competitive points to buy that stuff by winning 300 matches. There will be a lump sum reward of some kind at the end of the season.

I really like Zarya, I have around 60-70 winrate with her, mostly because I pick her when I really want that win or because the team comp is begging for her. I feel the m1 needs a bit of tweaking though, because of a combination of tickrate, the range being awkward to judge and my poor tracking ability. I would like to melt soft targets at midrange but it feels so unreliable when not firing at big targets or enemies in your face, I end up spamming m2 unless I know I can land a second or two of beam. otoh m2 is really reliable and easy to hit with, so maybe it's working as intended, us baddies can just spam the lower dps cannon.

So they didn't split solo and group competitive? How is that supposed to work, or have they formally conceded that this game will forever be terrible unless in a premade group.

So that'd mean points will last at least through the downtime between seasons. Hopefully they just stick until used. I really wish brawls gave a loot box for winning like the brawls in hearthstone. Also that Zenyatta's balls bounced off walls. Hitting with it would be an issue but would be fun.

Playing competitive with friends is cool and good but playing competitive alone is the absolute worst it's just 4 bads yelling angrily about how everyone else sucks EXCEPT THEM and then one person giving us his personal character tier list also request: kick anyone who has less than an hour in anyone that isn't their "Main" and also ban anyone in that category whose main is hanzo, genji or widowmaker

mcvey posted:Shoulda been 7-0 but we got loving ROBBED. Stopwatch please Blizzard. Stopwatch definitely seems like the better option, but I wonder if they didn't implement it because it's so disruptive to the flow of the game. If a team wants to ride the cart to victory in 2 minutes flat then they should definitely win, but it's kind of poo poo from a (casual) gameplay perspective to only have 2 minutes to win when so much is left up to chance. Sudden Death at least seems like a natural conclusion, although I agree that it's frustrating and is arguably even more reliant on chance. Verranicus posted:Wow, how butthurt are you.
