Zen was the character I played as at launch and stayed as throughout over my overwatch career. I really enjoy playing the chill murder machine while micromanaging teammate health.

Kai Tave posted:Seagull regularly plays Hanzo, a hero whose entire schtick is one-hit kills, he has no room to talk. He's probably closest to a Genji main, and Genji gets poo poo on by Doomfist, who also kinda displaces Genji's niche a little, so I can understand the bitterness. edit: scatter is fine, but if they made Hanzo's kit better and dropped it to 12s instead of 8s or dropped it's damage i'd be pretty okay with that. As it is, Hanzo is probably the character least in need of a nerf right now.

People generally embrace the comp they get and use their supports when they roll them. If there is a rein, that defines how people try to win.

Here's my plan to rework Scatter Arrow: 1. Make a traditional Japanese shrine to Hanzo in the Defender's spawn on Hanamura. 2. Give Genji a bunch of lines where he reflects on how his brother heroically sacrificed himself to save him, thus finally earning his redemption. 3. Delete Hanzo.

I really enjoy playing the chill murder machine while micromanaging teammate health. I was playing MH last night and rolled Tracer as three other people on my team rolled Zen. I have never had so much fun just melting motherfuckers. MH was slow to grow on me but ever since I realized that slampick Hanjo and slampick Widow are gone from that mode, it's become my favorite.

Ersatz posted:Playing support is actually a blast once you get the hang of it. I mean, yeah, it's also fun to click on heads and watch enemies disappear, but there's a lot of nuanced decision-making involved in the support role, and characters like Lucio also reward raw skill. It was kind of fun at first, but poo poo really clicked once I got the hang of using GA to zip around the map, and, like you say, make calculated decisions on who to heal or damage boost and when. The combination of mobility and seeing the way my performance tangibly impacts the match is great fun.

I enjoy playing support in games with a well-designed support paradigm, which mean that I mostly hate it in Overwatch except for Ana who is an absolute scream. Lucio can be fun but the more fun you're having with Lucio the less you're doing your job.

IronicDongz posted:and seagull has repeatedly said that scatter arrow should be changed Hanzo doesn't need scatter arrow to one-shot people, he's a character whose basic attack launches arrows that are "merely" the size of 2x4's as opposed to the mighty tree trunks they once were which instantly kill anyone 250 hitpoints or less, and then he has a second, separate ability which allows him to one-hit kill even more things harder. The entire point of playing Hanzo is to instantly kill someone the second they round a corner or to loose a scatter arrow and honorably obliterate someone two levels down from the target you were aiming at.

+ Season is 2 months instead of 3 + More competitive points per win + Only 5 games per week to prevent SR decay instead of 7 + SR decay is in -25 increments instead of -50 + They have other ideas to replace SR decay, but for now this is how it will be implemented + KOTH now Best of 3 instead of Best of 5 + No longer artificially deflating SR after placements, you should be placed accurately to your SR + Matchmaker will be trying harder to avoid stomps and only match 50/50, this may cause longer queue times for T500 players + Thinking on more changes for season 7/8, want feedback on s6 changes e: Some additional comments made other places + AFK farming measures have been implemented for Lucioball + Current PTR patch is locked and going through console certification + New PTR will be up this week or next turtlecrunch fucked around with this message at 01:48 on Aug 23, 2017 |

I would actually say that tanks in general are pretty fun to play. Even Reinhardt, who many people consider the dullest character in the game because his primary gimmick is holding up a wall for people to hide behind, can go gloriously ham and in fact a big part of playing Rein is knowing exactly when to do so and crush half the enemy team. Playing Winston and bullying the Symmetras and Widowmakers of the world likewise never gets old.

Just saw on Facebook that the summer games end on the 28th. Is it just me, or is this event really short? Feels like it just started, I haven't even gotten a single skin from it yet.

Welp, guess it's time to grind some boxes over the next week. The only skins I really want are Soldier and Sombra, if I don't get them I'll just buy a few boxes the last day and cross my fingers. v  v

I'm the same way, played a few rounds at the start after not playing for months then that was it. I still want Grillmaster:76 and the Junkertown map looks good but I think the spell is broken. More time for Broodwar remastered!
