Yeah the big problem with the hook has always been huge hit box and latency handling way too favorable for the shooter in OW, and instead of fixing either of those they did the much easier but worse for the game thing of making the hook not work half the time

i think what its doing is checking if the target has to be pulled a certain distance to be centered, and if it's too far it's a "miss" ?? why not just make the hitbox smaller and actually reflect the size of the thing lol like i dont get it

Why would it do anything other than pull the thing in front of you if your hook lands on it and they haven't blinked or fallen or on their client walked around a corner already or whatever.

i think it's an effort to counter latency compensation in favor of the shooter and it looks horrible, there are like 3 other ways to fix this that probably would've been easier to program and looked much better lol

i mean the main complaint about the hook is that it always loving grabs you, and it feels like you should've been in cover or out of range by the time the projectile gets to you but the servers goes "no you weren't" and warps you around in horrible ways to force it to work

easy solution: make the hitbox match the hitbox vs. area collision so you dont get wonky corner/ledge hooks

Anyway this game really bothers me to play for long periods of time because at the end I always feel like I should have just played a better FPS instead.

I think it'd be really good if they took out infinite ammo and nerfed healing and removed stuns though

Overwatch is doing a good job of introducing Blizzard Balance to a new generation of gamers

I think it's simply wonderful how Blizzard and Overwatch have influenced the games industry.

None of my friends want to play CS:GO for 9000 hours a week like I do, unfortunately, and playing with random people is OK until you get stuck playing with the same deranker guy 5 16-14 matches in a row

I like the Overwatch community slightly better than CSGO or I would get back to playing that. About a year ago I was just about to start taking that game really seriously but then I got a Wii U and stopped caring about it.

I like it but i realized a while ago that i never ever have fun solo queuing . Even if I lose I can at least have fun playing with friends talking poo poo about our other team members and pretending the problem is entirely on them

i think people are just poo poo. im always getting matched up with people around my level, if not well above that but ppl in quickplay just wanna practice a class or do their own thing, and comp is really good about matching you up with people that have similar numbers but as ive seen playing comp with WS that hardly matters lol.

skill also has a lot more factors in it, ive got over 100 hours in the game but maybe like 30 minutes in genji. if i pick him, map knowledge aside i may as well be a new player

I think the space between numbers you can queue with should be cut in half or more though, and I wish it was possible to stop people from smurfing without butchering some aspect of the game for everyone else.

That's what people call buying another copy of the game so you can either stomp on noobs or play with your low ranked friends or, in this game, play Hanzo only or Bastion only or whatever.
