Whenever I'm in comp I make sure to shoutout good plays to try to improve the mood of the team. "Good hold/push", "good mercy", "good rein" etc. But you'd be surprised (or maybe not) at how little any positive feedback does the moment one person decides to be a salt pile. Just one bad apple blaming others in chat always brings the whole team down, like a grim prophecy.

played last night and every game my team just completely hosed up the opposing Orisa lol. being such a huge target with 400 health seems to be a detriment. I didn't realize how much less power the shield was either until we ripped through it constantly. I played her once and had fun though--fun to spam all her poo poo at once though if you don't have awareness of what's going on, you're not going to be helpful with the juggernaut/shield combo. I loved using the graviton ball to pull snipers out of corners. at the very least since Orisa has so much utility coming out the rear end she won't be completely worthless like Ana or even Sombra was for people picking them when they first came out. I loving hated when people slampicked them and proceeded to do gently caress-all

I've had some good dive comp style teams with Sombra. The speed of her ult charge means you can really often chain together both points on 2CP by bumrushing the first and moving straight onto the second with an EMP. Or she can just be good at cracking a point somewhat reliably against a team that just sticks together behind their shields. Obviously it doesn't take a genius to point out that Sombra seems really weak in most areas. She's more a support than a DPS. But there's no doubt that EMP is one of the strongest ultimates in the game when combined with teamwork for taking points. Maybe even the strongest. Graviton is amazing, but it's slower to charge and against good players it's tough to catch lots of players sticking too close together.

Sade posted:Against good players is when you'll see the most players sticking together. Catching three or more people in a Graviton is either in combination with some other ult or just poor positioning from the other team. That or an unavoidable choke point. You can't expect frequent 5-6 man gravs at high ranks because people space out enough to avoid it. Range on EMP means you get all 6 pretty regularly.

Thank you, Blizzard, for releasing Orisa. As a Junk main, corraling red team into her little shield pen makes for delicious multi kills, served flaming hot!  (PS why no comp Orisa?  )

PTR doesn't give enough data on the balance of a hero. Delaying a hero from Comp for a week might mellow out the people who just wanted to slampick her off the bat by giving them an opportunity to just play and play against her on live for a bit. Comedy reply: She's going to be nerfed/buffed before next week.

I've been getting some strange lag spikes lately on PC. I took a video of it (using the Xbox DVR, which is normally disabled): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5itzpSOcVQ edit: Nevermind, solution was to disable WMM support on my router, which was buried somewhere I wasn't expecting.

Last night was amazing and murdering the gently caress out of Orisa as Pharah is my favorite thing now. She's so loving huge you can hardly miss her, her barrier is nigh useless against Pharah since she can angle her shots behind the shield, if she uses Fortify or starts shooting you she's even easier to nail because of how slow she is, and her projectiles are slow enough that it's actually quite easy to dodge them. I had one round where I focused their Orisa almost exclusively and had something like 72% direct hits with the rockets, it was glorious.

Random tech q: my overwatch tabs out continually when fullscreened - it's like clicking anywhere on the menu causes focus to switch to the desktop instead. Has anyone experienced this? Unfortunately while borderless fixes this it also makes the mouse realllly floaty.

Orisa usually folds like paper to Reinhardt, but if they make the mistake of charging you with Fortify off cool down, magic happens

I haven't had much chance to play her yet, but Orisa strikes me as a tank who doesn't actually want to get shot at a bunch. Protecting her team more with her shield, consistent covering fire, and crowd control.

Man months and months ago back in this game infancy, someone suggested running the riptire into the wall so it stops making noises and waiting a few seconds and then driving it out to blow people up. It makes people think the tire got destroyed. It's now months and months later, I'm nearly 300 hours into the game, and this tactic STILL WORKS. It also is good for when there's a Zarya because they'll hear it and put their bubbles up immediately, and this allows that bubble time to go away before the tire comes for them.

the year is 2050. sombra has permanent map vision she grants to her team, she's invulnerable while invisible, and emp charges instantly. unfortunately ana darts now do 500 hps over 20 seconds to make up for no longer damaging enemy heroes also sombra's gun now makes this noise for as long as its firing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LukyMYp2noo

blizzard is daft since bastion synergies with shield users a great deal. and he's not really that good against them as opposed to people not using shields; they're actually super useful to have when facing a bastion with support. the real counter ought to be junkrat or pharah since they can hit from odd angles and they punish people all grouped together with splash damage (at least, theoretical splash damage), but then ana throws a grenade down or lucio AMPS IT UP and then nothing actually gets to happen.

Maple Leaf pointed out that Sombra's EMP actually turns Orisa's ultimate against her own team, claiming it for your team. As if Orisa didn't have enough trouble surviving, her ultimate can turn against her too. Sombra's EMP ultimate should turn more of their owners' ultimates against their team.

All I've seen suggests that getting hacked/EMP'd turns it off, not that it swaps its loyalty around.

I played Sombra for the first time today and she's actually really good. Her gun isn't as bad as people make it out to be, the damage is good with constant headshots (which is pretty easy given how fast it fires and how close to your enemies you typically are). The only issue I particularly have is that while her EMP is nice, she's only good at shutting down pushes when it comes around and not much else. The entire time I felt I would have more impact if I was just shredding people as Soldier 76 instead of fiddling around with my hack-tele-invis-decloak-shoot-recall-repeat routine. It's a lot of work to play Sombra that isn't as much reward as you'd expect for it.

Long ago in a distant land, Jeff, the wrestling master of balance, claimed time to kill was good. But, a foolish Reddit community wielding wood league opinions stepped forth to ask for Ana buffs. Before the meta could settle if Ana was balanced, Jeff tore open a portal of healing buffs, and flung the players into tank meta. Now the fools seek to nerf her grenade, and undo the future that is... ANA!

Here's a question: what do you do as Orisa when you get cornered by a Genji and don't have teammates nearby? My aim isn't great but it's not terrible, but I have a ridiculously hard time hitting him since he's jumping all over the place and Orisa's gun feels so sluggish to hit something. It feels ridiculous to be a tank and not be able to squish him. The most I can do is gravity ball him somewhere and land a couple hits that way.

Theta Zero posted:That too. To an extent yeah, a lot of Sombra's usefulness is bound up in her ult. I do notice that Codey basically spends half of every game doing everything he can to hack the enemy Reinhardt it works for him more often than not, because if you can bring down an enemy tank's abilities (especially Rein but the other tanks are good targets as well) then it gives your own team a pretty big advantage either pushing or defending.
