New Dva is the best. Bouncing around like a pinball, hoovering up ults like an unwatched kid on Halloween, being able to swap to sniper harassment from point defense instantly... I just wish it would trigger the highlights system. I want to get a play of the game for boosting into a Pharah raining hell down and giving her air hugs with my shield.

Hots has the same problem Overwatch has/is developing that being it's too drat difficult to kill anything. Too many escapes and general tankiness does make for a forgiving casual friendly game but not necessarily a fun one.

Sort of. DotA is already, from its conception, "What if we got rid of the most skillful and physically demanding parts of WarCraft 3 and added a bunch of knowledge checks to make up for it." Then it turns out that a) if you give people a little taste of "less physically demanding and less skillful" they never stop wanting to go further, and b) knowledge checks are bewildering to new players without really distinguishing between okay players and good/great ones, which makes okay players feel powerful and privileged. The older MOBAs are still pretty skillful games because it turns out that SC/WC3 are so complex that you can dumb them down a ton and still have pretty deep games, but they're also full of mechanics that make you compete with "friendly" characters for the same resources and push you to show off individually even though optimal strategies require self-sacrifice and support from at least 1-2 and often from all but one member of a team.

I was thinking a buff for Ana, prior to this very good one they did the other day, would be to have her scoped shots or maybe even regular shots go through her target and continue on for reduced damage or healing to the targets behind. That way even if she's behind her team she can still score some multi healing shots and or damage. No?

Stuff in OW still dies very fast but kind of slow enough to give you time to react and get out of dodge or maybe fight back. I find that a lot more fun. I used to play the poo poo out of Natural Selection more than any other FPS game, which also had relatively high-time-to-kill and that was fun as hell too. And HoTS got a scaling change about a year ago that made everything die p fast (set at Lvl 20 hp/dmg ratio) so ganks and insta-killing people happens a lot more. Plus some damage creep.

Chin Strap posted:I'm fine with this answer. Especially since I have trouble fitting in comp rounds in OW sometimes because of the time commitment, HotS would be even worse. Matchmaking in MOBAs is really good at pairing you with groups of people who have the same skill level as you. After your first several games where you get utterly destroyed it will pair you with people unimaginably bad, and you quickly work up to consistently winning about half of your games. The gameplay itself can be alright - the gameplay rhythms give stakes and weight to the clicking on dudes. The problem is where MOBA players are the dingleberries of mankind. They make the competitive fighting game scene look wholesome and easy to get into. At best they just don't speak the same language as you. Do not play them. Mechanism Eight posted:Overwatch pretty much maxes out my mildly overclocked i5-2500K (a 5 year old CPU) and in CPU-bound situations bottlenecks around 90fps. If you're buying today an i5-6500 or an end-of-life 4690 would be my picks. I'd avoid AMD.

Right now I think Overwatch is fine, but can easily see it becoming an issue. It's closer to being too difficult to kill than too easy. Instead of buffing what Dva needed (damage, fallout etc.) they made her tankier, if they keep balancing that way it's going to make the game worse. As far as Dota likes go , Dota is the most punishing, League next, then Hots. I found League not punishing enough, thus I didn't find Hots all that fun.

Hots started out with everyone wielding foam weapons and having spammable weak abilities so I think overwatch will be fine in that regard.

A well played Tracer is just about unstoppable, more so than any other class. nah, also a good genji's a lot harder to deal with since there are people that straight oneshot tracer from full health and vertical mobility is better than horizontal. discord/damage boost increases that to like half the cast

I don't think Overwatch has this problem, it's in a pretty good place for damage output for the most part. But jesus, if HotS got re-scaled to have higher damage before I started playing, I can't even imagine how awful it must have been before.

This game needs another quick play game mode, team deathmatch with 10 or 12 players on each team that lasts 15 minutes. This would let me test and get better at the heroes instead of ruining people's quick play or doing it in competition.

I saw an Ana POTG day one after her release and not again. She had a kill, put someone to sleep, and buffed someone else in a short span, so it seemed appropriate.

I don't even know what they could do with her kit to make her useful at higher levels of play because it feels like she's walking a fine line of being useless and being loving miserable to play against. Remove Mei, replace with Pyro.

I am not sure and it might be some form of bias, but ever since I hit rank 100+ I feel like I've started getting really enjoyable quick play matches pretty much all of the time. Nice team compositions, people are friendly toward each other, they try to group up and coordinate and they chose roles depending on what's needed.

I'm getting really bored that Blizzard decide how people should have fun, or should not have fun. You take decision on aspect where no vidéo games on pc interfered before. You don't want to support 21:9 on native FOV/resolution because for you it give an "unfair advantage". But tell me, what is a "fair advantage" and an "unfair advantage" ? Are you god ? Let me remind you that PC Gaming philosophy is , since always to support all available hardware to the maximum of their possibilities. The only limitation should be hardware, not internal limitation. Are you putting minimum input lag to make it fair with people having non mechanical keyboard ? Are you limiting the Maximum DPI of mouse ? Are you limiting the maximum FPS of graphical cards (the biggest advantage of all.. ask pro players) Are you limiting the "lag" for making it fair the internets connections ? Are you limiting the 16/9 FOV to make it Fair with 4/3 screens ? Are you limiting 5.1 to make it faire with stereo speakers ? Are you limiting the maximum Action Per Minute, to make it fair with old people ? Are you limiting 4K monitor, letting people to have more details on long distance ? So why are you, unilaterally limiting 21:9 screen resolution to be natively supported ? It's totally discriminatory. I can't play with my screen, because the 21:9 cropped version make me throw up and headhache after 15minute of play And on 16/9 resolution i have two gigantic black bars on the side. Everyone has the freedom to get a 21:9 screen, or a 500$ graphical card, or a pro mechanical keyboard, if they feel to have an advantage with it. And no pro players can play in good condition with a 100$ Computer anyway. So why discriminating the 21:9 screens and nothing else ? This is not console game. It's computer game. It means you accept that some people have an hardware advantage over other people. And if you want to force competitive player to some hardware, feel free to organize your offline tournaments. moreover 21:9 is the future. So you should support it. You're the only vidéogame éditor to force such stupid rules. It's a Game. Remember? A game. The first purpose is that people enjoy it. All people. The one with good mouse, the one with top notch computer, and the one with 21:9 screen too. What you do is putting an unfair limitation to the hardware of some ppl but not others. You should be totally neutral. Even if people have a 360° FOV screen, 4000FPS graphical card and 5000x5000resolution, you should allow it. IT'S PC GAMING !! You're really pissing us off to decide how we should have fun and everything. You have the same tyran mentality when you prevent ppl for quitting a game. i saw that you had prevented a quitting option. If all the team is agree to quit the game because they don't have fun. Why the !@#$ would you want to force them to continue the game until the end? THEY ARE NOT CURRENTLY HAVING FUN. THEY DONT LIKE THAT. THEY ARE THE ONE LOSING POINT. they know better. Does it bother the opponent team ? Not really. I never saw a team complaining about winning. And continuing a game with half AFK people isn't fun either. IF continuing to play an unfair game frustrates 100% of the player of the game, why would you prevent them to quit ? What kind of tyran are you ? Stop putting your nose to everything. focus on making a fair balance beetween heroes, And let the people play, or not play the way they want, with hardware as good as they want. The one in charge of all this really seem to be a very frustrated little tyrannic person, jealous too, that want that people suffer the game like if it was a serious work. But guess what ? I'm really close to boycott your games now, to make you bad reputation, and from what I could read on all the 21:9 topic that you have deleted, i'm not alone. Some of us play to have fun after work. not to receive implicits orders from anothers little chiefs that have to tell you how to do this or that, how you should eat an apple, and how you should make your %^-*.
