He only plays with full stacks who are doing the same thing he is, if I remember correctly.

if you had a worse k/d and intentionally missed more shots your mmr would probably go down faster. Would also make it harder to detect, but they probably don't care about 6-stacks feeding wins to kids

Lucioball is pretty much just goalkeeper simulator because every loving pubbie I play with immediately runs away from defense thinking he's super-Zidane. It's terrible.

I'm glad Lucio ball is back, I liked it a lot. I wish the player speeds were a tiny bit faster though. I know they're trying to make it where you have to set up passes in front of goal and everything, but it's a bit too hard to actually read and react to what's going on unless you're just sitting in front of the goal.

I feel like I've had half my matches have someone else goal and the other half I do it. Probably depends on the rank if you're doing competitive. I think it's fun. Last night we won a competitive Lucioball game 1-0 and my team said I was a great goalie. It made me feel :3:.

One tip I've found on lucioball is to hit W a lot when you are ulting. It lets you get perspective and lunge at the ball. I'm bad about ever hitting W.

Lucio ball seems extra janky. I think there might be a bug or quirck with collision as well. I had a few instances where the ball was coming direct to me on the ground as it was in front of me I hit right click. It does nothing, the ball skirts by and goes in and my Lucio says something about how he scored on his own net. The replay shows the ball just go by. I saw this happen to a few teammates too.

I played it for awhile earlier this year. Wound up being too frustrating because the average skill level's really high and I never could get better than bronze, even after a few hundred games. I tilted like crazy because I kept feeling like I could do better and never would.

Lucioball's way easier and that's all I need.

I'm still just 22. Ranked matches might be more fun but I might be too lazy to level three times before the games are over.

placing in the comp lucioball mode actually gets you comp points and end of season rewards (tho less than actual comp mode. getting to gm nets you 1000 comp points at the end, for example) so you may as well just do all your arcade games this week in lucioball for the extra loot boxes. at least until you place anyway

but yea I hated lucioball last time around personally

WHO ABUSED HIM. WHO ABUSED THE BOY.
The hit and collision detection of Lucioball is as terrible as it was last year, but it's still a decent diversion when you have some actual bad games and want to decompress. I'm doing comp because it's incredibly easy to knock out arcade wins with and the point rewards aren't even as meager as expected

I would like Lucioball more if the ball behaved correctly. As it is like half the time the ball won't go where your ability should send it, instead opting for like directly to your side or even behind you somehow. Also the jump pads feel almost like a hindrance than anything. Rocket League this aint

Doomfist is a terrible addition to the game, and it really exemplifies how hypocritical Blizzard has been with tossing Roadhog into the dumpster.

Roadhog hook had travel time and a delay timer before he oneshot you (if you weren't a tank / Mei / Reaper). You could react to a Roadhog hooking your teammates with a shield / bubble / Matrix / stun / knockback / freeze.

Doomfist? I had a game on King's Row where I peeked a corner and instantly died to a Doomfist who was charging up his fist behind that same corner. There wasn't any possible counterplay in the world aside from divinely intuiting that Doomfist was behind that wall and was charging up his fist. There was nothing my teammates could have done to save me. This isn't an one-time issue, this is something my friends have complained about, something I've noticed in many many other matches since the Doomfist patch.

like okay the obvious comparison is Widowmaker, right? But Widowmaker is much worse at defending herself, favors long sight lines, has horrible mobility outside one single long-cooldown grapple ability, and has a slightly longer charge-up time and obviously a much higher precision requirement. If you can figure out where Widowmaker is sitting you can force her to waste time relocating or else die to you. Doomfist can be around every single corner on the map, no matter how cramped the quarters, and there's not too much you can do about it, either anticipative or reactive.
