If you get mad about getting chatbanned from Overwatch you should probably close the game, maybe turn on Netflix or something.

At least I'm assuming that's why anybody might be offended enough at the idea of reporting a jerk on the internet to go off on it for pages and pages.

If they're just being offended at someone else being offended by someone else then it's one of those times where they gotta step back and ask themselves why they've found themselves in that predicament.

I think the filter is the perfect way to handle that stuff. It makes people without any sportsmanship look as stupid as they probably are and you don't have to ban people or actively police them.

Has anyone else has the experience lately of "gg ez" not even being used appropriately anymore? Like, when my team gets completely stomped I almost never see it, but then people will throw it out after winning a fairly close match where we pushed it almost to the third point on a payload and didn't quite get it all the way

It can't have been THAT ez for you buddy we pushed it right past the first two points

The filter used to be funny but now people just use it all the time, because everyone's seen the filter enough that they know the other team knows exactly what they're trying to say anyway. It really doesn't matter to them that some filter regurgigates "Well played. I salute you all." on their behalf, because it's clear they're saying 'gg ez'.

Better choice now would be to make it eat what you say entirely when you try to say gg ez, ez, or any variation thereof, and if people say 'e z' or what have you to try and get around it, have it be a reportable offense (like how you can get banned for evading chat filters in other games). Problem solved.

You know how Junkrat (and Widowmaker's) movement abilities are slightly weighted so that they always land on viable spaces? They should use that to make it so that Junkrats mine-jumping towards a Pharah home in on her slightly, and if they get near enough, they grab ahold of her and just start bappin' her in the head while she panics. Yes!

Here it is, the best idea

Sure, but it's unsporting enough that even Blizzard saw fit to do something. It's a lovely, immature thing to say after a match, and tell me you've never felt even slightly irritated that four players on the enemy team instantly go "EEEEEEZZZZZZZZZZZ LOL" "KEK EZ" "gg ez"?

If you see enough of a problem to replace it with a filter, and that filter becomes useless, the next step is to remove it entirely.

So I haven't been able to play a single game during the Year of the Cock event. Did the game fork over a free loot box for the event when it started that when I do get to log in next month I'll at least be able to snag?

I usually use it to counter whatever ult I think is the most devastating.

Or with CC.


Also play around with when you should jump out after sending it flying to mess with people. One of the best D.V.A ults I've had was on Volskaya B where I jumped out near the end of my boost and it ended with a teamkill right on the point after everyone ran for vertical cover.

Sling it in the air at such an absurd angle that by the time everyone looks up to try and figure out where the gently caress it even is, they're already dead.

combo it with another ult that stops people from getting away. earthshatter, blizzard, and graviton surge are all good for this

alternatively you can use it to stall for time by keeping the enemy team off a point for a few seconds

Yeah this. It's really good when, say, they're about to get the payload to a point (or YOU'RE about to get the payload to a point) and you're about to go into overtime and need everyone off the point, NOW. Just slam dunk your ult on it and they have no choice but to run for the hills.

The slinging-your-payload-into-the-air is good for that as well since it makes it harder to take cover when it's exploding in the sky.

don't put it right on the payload if the other team can get to it because that lets you hide from the explosion by crouching behind the payload itself. the los breaks for self destruct are a little wonky
