I thought the thing with leaverfs on other team reducing rank gain was fixed? I've won 3 games with leavers in a row and gotten about 1/8 of a level cumulatively.

I think what they fixed was the bug where if you drop and reconnect, it registered as a loss even if you went on to win. The MMR system most likely still considers any match with non-returning leavers to be a "broken" match that shouldn't be counted for much either way.

Just had a great session with goons. It started out with a couple of losses, but rather than the group breaking apart, we joked about it and moved forward. Proceeded to win4 in a row, and everyone was coordinating and having fun while we played. It's that kind of gaming when Overwatch really shines. No one takes it too seriously, and playing as a team actually makes the difference.

Can Winston block a D.Va ult entirely by dropping a bubble on it? Does his barrier work the same way as Zarya's where it can entirely negate a single large attack with no bleed through? Also, do barriers that block damage block it for both teams? Like, if you as tracer stick a Winston can you dodge the blast at close range by getting on the other side of his shield?

I don't know the answer to your question, but I believe it would block the damage you would take.

Hammy did some good videos on this, Mei was in an arctic base doing climate research when Overwatch went offline, to save herself she put herself into cryo stasis. Years later she was found and reanimated. Mercy uses her biotic nanites to keep her young - if you notice she self heals when out of combat https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXE9WzdLFJ0

Mei and her team were all put into cryostasis for survival after some poo poo happened but Mei was the only survivor because of course that's what you would say after you convince your teammates to get into the cryovats and then you unplug them in order to keep the remaining electrical power to yourself.

Pretty sure Reinhardt's Barrier wont stop the self-destruct blast. The only consistent counter to it is to have Reinhardt make a glorious self-sacrificing Charge to shove it away from your teammates before it pops. Preferrably running down D.Va in the process, or at least killing her with the self-destruct she was trying to flee from.

If there's a wall in the way, it should break.

^^^I actually had something like this happen earlier this evening. It was attack on Anubis B, I was flanking the point, Roadhog hooked me but I was already falling into one of those underpass areas when the hook hit me. It registered as a hook, but it didn't retract me.mcbexx posted:There's a theory floating around somewhere that she is actually a villain. My personal Mercy theory: she's an actual literal angel hanging around on earth for reasons, biotic energy isn't some super-science nanowhatever, it's straight-up divine energy siphoned from heaven like that one Ultron-looking motherfucker was doing to hell in DOOM. Something went wrong when she tried to bring Reyes back to life and so he's not just some sort of Deadpool-esque anomaly but a literal soul-devouring ghost-vampire-zombie, whoops. The design of her armor is just her own little in-joke, she actually looks like one of those giant flaming wheels with like six-dozen eyes. In other less stupid news, I always feel really bad whenever I'm on the attack going up against Torbjorns who don't know what they're doing because Torb is my spirit animal, but when your team is getting pushed hard you really shouldn't try to drop a turret right in our way and hammer it up to level two little buddy, head back to where your friends are and set up there.

She's supposed to feel like a lumbering ED-209 unstoppable juggernaut while she's firing, and despite being a limitation, it feels fun! It's just that mechanics-wise, the infinite ammo isn't enough to justify the tradeoff; her range, power, and/or survivability need to improve too.

mcbexx posted:There's a theory floating around somewhere that she is actually a villain. She's a total copy of Paramedic from Metal Gear Solid since she turned Genji into Gray Fox. Also she literally heals with nanomachines. So it's safe to say she has good intentions and as a young doctor helped out Big Boss, then becomes a founding member of the Patriots who she thinks are the good guys (She is one of the Overwatch founders). As time goes on Overwatch becomes twisted by the patriots. Also Reaper was one of Overwatch's best agents. Mercy revived him since they used to work together and he joined the "bad guys". So that's basically the plot of MGS3 + 5. Talon is Outer Heaven, and they're rebelling against Overwatch who are the "good guys" but are twisted to AI Patriot Control (Omnics). Now what I'm really trying to say here is MGS6 is actually Overwatch. Edit: Mercy = Paramedic Genji = Gray Fox Reaper = Big Boss Overwatch = Patriots Omnics = AI Nanomachines = Nanomachines Soldier 76 = Solid Snake THE AWESOME GHOST fucked around with this message at 08:59 on Jul 12, 2016 |

She's supposed to feel like a lumbering ED-209 unstoppable juggernaut while she's firing, and despite being a limitation, it feels fun! I think more than for flavor reasons, the slowed walk speed is because, okay, let's say she can move her normal speed (i.e. about as fast as most characters) and spam autoshotgun fire all day. So now what you have is, in many respects, a 500 hitpoint Reaper who trades his wraith form out for an ability that can help defend both yourself and your teammates and teleportation for the ability to fly for three seconds. I don't know about you, but that sounds potentially pretty bad from a balance perspective. D.Va's got good mobility when she isn't firing, Defense Matrix is actually a very helpful ability if you coordinate it properly, and when she's up close her guns do good damage. Her issues largely seem to boil down to two things: 1). The size and/or location of her headshot hitbox means that she soaks up headshots more than any other character in the game. On paper her 500 mostly-armor hitpoints look awesome, but in practice she gets shredded super quickly. Yes, you should try and flank, but if they really want D.Va to be classified as a Tank and not simply some sort of Big Flanker then she needs to be less fragile, and 2). The damage falloff on her guns means that the best strategy to dealing with a firing D.Va in your face is simply taking five steps back or so. Raising the damage on her guns might make them a bit too powerful up-close, but reducing the severity of the falloff by a bit would make it less easy to trivial to escape her threat zone.

The stupid thing about her damage falloff is that at range the spread is already much bigger so most of your shots aren't hitting - each shot is 8 pellets so let's say a good half will miss. Now add on top of that the fact that the shots actually do less damage the farther out they go (they drop to 16% or so). So you go from 100% to 8% and you can't move while shooting so that happens pretty fast. She is actually good in KOTH maps from experience though. Everyone needs to get on point anyway so they'll be running to you.

I mean, if the end result is that people can still distance themselves from D.Va's guns but they have to run further to do so then that sort of sounds like a decent outcome considering she's meant to be a sort of disruption tank rather than a 500hp DPS character. The problem is that right now she just doesn't do much disrupting.
