Yeah man, I can't imagine how it feels to move your mouse and have your character move a quarter of a second later. How do you even aim with that?

Nah, just 30... It was a 2010 model dell IPS monitor. Upgrading to a Acer Predator XB271HU since the price dropped on newegg.

How does the "attack the objective" command go exactly? I mean I know that it's supposed to be me looking at objective and pressing F, but that works like 1/3 of the time and the rest I'm just spamming "understood. Understood" like a loving idiot.

Aim at the objective, but you'll only say attack it if an icon comes up around the objective, you'll know what I mean when you see it.

I think you'll notice it but in the sense of things will just seem slightly quicker. Nothing huge, but it's nice

Here's a general monitor question. Is there a noticeable difference between 4ms and 1ms? My first two HD monitors have been 1ms, but I see tons of 4ms monitors these days. Is that the norm?

That was probably response time, and I think it's just how the transition from TN to IPS worked out. Response time is a different thing from input lag anyway, there were tons of 1ms response time TVs with horrendous input lag numbers.

if you see a 1ms, it's a TN. 4ms is the best for gaming grade IPS panels. It's an imperceptible difference and more of a "marketing splash" stat. There are actually several other delay factors that meaningfully determine if a monitor seems sluggish or not

Real talk, they keep advertising Battleborn as doing like, a free trial. And not Free To Play. Because they are incapable of making any good decisions regarding that game

This is purely because they were extremely and vocally adamant that it'd never go free to play and want to make it seem like they aren't going back on that. It's silly.

I figure we'll get an arcade playlist of pve events once there's enough of them for it to be worth doing. right now there's just the 2 and that would get old real fast

wonder if they'll ever expand the pve stuff into something more significant

"You treat her like a lady... and she'll always bring you home."
I've been trying to record VODs to beg for help getting mediocre (I really want to hit diamond just once :() but ran into an odd issue I wondered if anyone else was having. It's important to note that until a few days ago, none of this was happening, and there haven't been any changes to my software or hardware other than, like, Overwatch bugfixing patches.

Nowadays, if I run OBS and try to either stream or record, Overwatch absolutely just starts performing like rancid dog poop. I mean, even on low performance, I start getting 40-50 FPS and it starts noticeably and unplayably stuttering, where without streaming/recording I get a perfectly smooth 144 fps for my 144 fps monitor on ultra-high settings. I'm not recording or streaming at a very aggressive quality- 720p, 60fps- and more importantly I could do this just fine a week ago. I've checked task manager and there's nothing unusual sitting there and saying HEY IM A NEW PROCESS CHOKING YOUR PROCESSOR OUT, HOW YOU DOIN for me to end. Anyone else hit any "actually, this week I, your computer, have decided screw your VODs" roadbumps like this?

I mean it's FPSMOBA and if you don't like MOBAs you won't like Batttleborn regardless. I actually quite enjoyed it back when it came out and there were actually people to play with.

Now though? Did you know they just released a new character? Sure doesn't seem like if you go to the game right now

I mean, I have to assume that if you run task manager with both open it's maxed out right? Or spiking at the very least.

If it's not doing that you can rule out your cpu.

Do you have an nvidia card? If you install all their bloatware garbage you get access to shadowplay which records directly off the gpu and is real fast. You can even set a hotkey to save the past X minutes to video and just hit that at the end of a match.

OBS has access to the same encoder (NVENC).

Yeah, Symmetra is completely reliant on her ult for basic functionality, and once it's up it can last for minutes before she can start charging up another one. So yeah, she's going to be built to charge ult quickly.
