I had a child in QP freak out this morning because I was playing Winston with a Reaper on the team. I couldn't tell if he was joking or not either, he seemed pretty upset about how this wan't lore friendly.

Me: Did you know that Reinhardt can charge D.Va's mech before it self-destructs, pushing the blast out of range? Friend: You can? But then you die when it explodes. Me: A GLORIOUS DEATH PROTECTING ONE'S FRIENDS.

I hooked a d-va ult around a corner today, but got hooked myself at the same time so nothing happened. I felt robbed, even if no one ended up dead to it.

They need to rebalance McCree's ult. I feel so bad for the guy. Anyone else activates their ult and gets killed immediately, they either keep their ult or keep most of their ult. They might lose it if they start and then die mid-ult. McCree just loses his AS SOON AS HE STARTS TALKING and that just feels sad. I know he was getting it really fast, but as ults go, it was already kinda bad. Now it's just the saddest thing. I also like the new voice clips for various people as they get Nano-boosted, and, back to McCree, his ultimate is charged voice clip "You know what time it is"

Frankly, every character should lose their ult on activation. It's some bullshit when you shut down a Reaper or Genji ult right as it starts, only for them to come back ready to pop it again.

Deadeye is a good ult, on a character who could have a worthless ult and still be good, and all ults should instantly go to 0% as soon as you hit Q.

Some ults are lost immediately because they don't wind down the charge as you use it, with pharah it uses ult as you rain Justice from above so if you're headshot right at the start you usually have between 60-75% left

Was there a change made to Hanzo in this update? I went from matches with maybe one Hanzo per both teams to multiple Hanzos on both sides in QP. I thought it was because people wanted to show off his new skin but nope.

Brannock posted:Average human reaction time to visual stimulus is... 0.25 seconds If you correctly anticipate that an ult is coming, you have more time than 0.25 seconds to react. Common example; Reaper tries to get the drop on your team, someone spots him coming and calls it out, everyone burns him down and he dies right as his ult starts. That Reaper's meter should go down to 0.

Tuxedo Catfish posted:Exactly. It's a competitive game of reflexes and awareness, we're not in the business of "average." If the shooter is watching the target intently, is anticipating an ultimate, is ignoring everything else going on, is perfectly tracking the target to ensure a headshot / disable the moment they see the ultimate go out, and has above average reaction times, then, yes, the target would retain some ultimate charge after being shut down.

I thought it was because people wanted to show off his new skin but nope. People got a lot more practice with him in the brawl and realized he's not awful anymore after the buffs he got to compensate for smaller logs.

Pharah's and Roadhog's shouldn't disappear upon activation since they are "spat out" as the timer goes down.

I always figured they long wind-down was to benefit the ult user in case of bad server response times. Sending everyone to 60 tick was probably what allowed them to be more stingy with refunds.

genji gets an extra long grace period while he's unsheathing too. its bullshit to shut him down with something that is possibly another ult or long cooldown but then he just comes back with full ult

Thanks for the advice about Mei, I haven't gotten potg yet this week with her but got close. This morning I got a quintuple kill but I guess D.Va hogged the potg credit because she helped soften up the 5 guys I killed with my blizzard.

Dyz posted:The way I actually became decent at Broodwar was playing against people 1 rank above me regularly instead of trying to find the most balanced opponent. This method would have never worked with auto matchmaking because I lost more than I won by playing people better than me. As I lost, I would have then been matched against people who were less and less challenging to play against and never would have improved. This would be really nice. cosmicjim posted:I solo queue and move up 300 points, then group with them and move down 300. Rinse and repeat. I'm really trying to teach one guy that I think is getting better. The rest of them play stuff like bastion and symmetra and there's no way to convince them to stop without being an rear end. Just have them play a bunch on their own and their rating should tank anyways.

Having a similar SR group of 2-4 with good comms and flexibility / distribution of roles reduces the element of randomness in the people assigned to your team which is pretty clearly an advantage And if there's a large SR gap then your top players should be able to carry very easily, more than making up for the drag from your bottom players As long as you're not playing literally every game with the exact same group, nobody is going to get "dragged down" by grouping in the long run

Giving them a pat on the head and a second bite at the cherry won't teach them a lesson. Tough love. It's for their own good. I got into a bad habit of panic-ulting because I wasn't punished for it before they changed the discharge rates of the ults. Don't panic-ult. Don't let people not be punished for wasting an ult in panic.
