Ghost of Starman posted:Is there a rule of thumb for how early you can do bosses? Or, I guess, how early is too early / "this will obviously take so much time & cost us so much health+mana its not worth it"? Or is it just gonna depend entirely on team comp? Whenever you have a full wipe and a high damage squad ready to go is fine, generally after about level 10. Otherwise 13 is also a good time to start watching for opportunities.

So I guess Wailing Arrow is the ult you're SUPPOSED to take... but. It's boring and lame and mind control is so much more fun. Also Sylvannas is very fun

It's kind of impressive how much the Overwatch heroes have cranked up the mobilty power creep in this game. Like I don't think even LoL was this fast. Like I'm looking at Malth here and I should be saying "ahaha he has Max HP% damage coming out his rear end" but all I really see is "he's gonna be garbage because he won't be able catch up to anything" Orange Crush Rush fucked around with this message at 04:49 on Jun 3, 2017 |

I was playing QM and got grouped with an absolutely terrifying Zul'jin who went full axe build and guillotine. He landed every single one, it was amazing. I have no idea how he managed to do it, not like we had a bunch of CC or anything.

I get that Tracer is the iconic overwatch character but I don't know why the gently caress this game needed genji. He's so loving annoying to track down.

Genji is very popular. But I agree that there is a lot of people I'd rather see first. They're probably just making them in the order that they can develop kits for them. Generally in mobas they make mechanics then figure out the character that's going to have them. I assume hots does this too. But it's easy to imagine a top down approach with the overwatch characters.

Genji happened because Hanamura was happening. If it wasn't Genji, it was gonna be Hanzo. If only it was literally any other payload map.

Fellatio del Toro posted:Junkrat or Mei would have been better than any of the ones they've added I know there's an ongoing rumor that Junkrat is in the works. I could see him having an interesting enough kit to be added to Heroes, with the way his grenades would work and stuff. I imagine he'd be classified as a ranged specialist. Genji is just not interesting from a character standpoint or his kit to be honest. I tried him out, he's fun enough of course, but he also doesn't feel like he brings anything all that interesting to the table. Also his ults are terrible lol

Hanamura isn't a payload map though Genji's kit is cool it allows for some really skilled play. It's just that it feels like the diver assassins design space is cramped. As the cast expands more it might feel better

Still better than Hanzo, whose kit (other than the scouting arrow) would be horribly boring or straight up skillshot spam with a boring ult either way. The only Overwatch characters who would be genuinely interesting, mechanics wise, would be either Symmetra or Junkrat, purely because they do stuff that no one else really does in HotS in some other way, shape, or form. Symmetra wood actually be amazing in this game, probably a little too good.

Fuzz posted:Still better than Hanzo, whose kit (other than the scouting arrow) would be horribly boring or straight up skillshot spam with a boring ult either way. I dunno I think Reinhardt could be interesting. You'd have to differentiate his charge from Diablo's though. Mei could be interesting too though I don't know how you'd make her work without drastically changing how her gun works. Sombra too I could see working. Winston could be good with his leap and Zenyatta could be a different enough support.

Hanzo could be made interesting via not having a Basic Attack and just being all skillshots, all the time.

I unlocked Samuro recently and have been greatly enjoying him in quick match, much to my surprise. One thing I struggle with, however, is securing kills on targets who aren't already dangerously low, since I don't think I have any exacting control over where the game plops the real me upon illusion spawns. I'm not the worst at body-blocking when I play warriors, but seeing as I don't usually shift to a favorable blocking position (and it's usually super dangerous to burn wind walk for that), most targets can just leave. Seeing as it's quick match, I can't count on getting matched with CC characters, and I'm kind of a scrub so I can't necessarily count on similarly-skilled teammates using CC wisely. Anyone got tips? I'll pay you in appreciation.

Just QM'd against a team of Falstad, Uther, Thrall, Muradin, and Ragnaros. Somehow they all had Sgt. Hammer's voice lines and they were spamming them the entire match. I don't know how to feel about this.

According to Fan Genji is pretty busted but from my gutter league POV you really REALLY need the mechanical skill and situational awareness of someone like him to reach that busted state. Otherwise you just don't do anything and die a lot. Seeing him Dragonblade basically the whole team after level 20 is kind of insane, though, and he did it several times.

Macaluso posted:Sylvanas is amazing holy gently caress Just open the boxes. Almost all the junk they're adding is sprays which are cheap enough and the extra shards will let you buy the ones you like unless there's just literally nothing you want right now. Alternatively: Never open any box EVER because what if they add a new hero you want? You'd be an idiot not to get them for free!

They need to add some Hearthsone stuff. They could even add heroes but it would be a stretch because they do 1 thing so making them full characters with skills and abilities would be hard (but I'm sure they could do it.) But they should add Hearthstone stuff anyway. There's a couple mounts right?

You could make a Hearthstone map. It already got the symmetry thing going. You could even be crazy and have the stage be vertical to match the layout of a Hearthstone board. Gimmicks of the map are based around cards. Maybe similar to Towers of Doom where you're not attacking the core directly using card plays somehow idk

I'd like to see Aya Blackpaw (or someone similiar) with some kind of Jade Golem mechanic that gets stronger as the game goes on. They empower her attacks somehow or ideally they're little summons that get stronger the more of them you have called in, but the devs have said they are moving away from summoner characters. I would also imagine they will do Garrosh at some point in the future with some kind of weapon switching mechanic. He must have the Fiery War Axe.
