Yeah that part of it rules, it goes flying over rooftops and can cover crazy distances, it's like launching an exploding winston onto the enemy team

Slime posted:Deathmatch is a lot more fun than I thought. My highlight so far: Hooking another Roadhog right as a Tracer pulse bombed him, meaning we both died. he's pretty mobile now and can drop a good chunk of damage on people, especially if they're not paying attention he can just drop in on someone, force-feed them a mine, then use the other mine to bail out especially on chateau where there's a ton of height differences and dividers that he can use to his advantage

These regular A/D maps as FFA Deathmatch maps loving blows. I feel like I spend half the match just running across the map looking for people to shoot.

Yeah they are pretty rough at the moment, hopefully they can tweak them a little more and maybe change up some health pack locations or wall off some paths to make them more like Chateau, can't imagine them investing a whole lot of time coming with any more unique FFA maps

Cost me getting first place because it kept sticking in the far away spawn away from the fights while I was only a kill away from winning.

Chateau was actually pretty good in that regard and they should get the guy who made that one to make a few more instead of trying to hammer trapezoidal pegs through round holes.

Deathmatch maps are a lost art, Payload maps were mastered by Valve and Blizzard still kinda sucks at them. And 2cp has always just been lovely.

I don't think they actually changed anything, did they? people just found out they don't like some of the maps after they got past the initial excitement for the new mode the stuff people have been complaining about were in from day 1 of ffa being added at any rate

Yes, FFA is what's being talked about. It was locked on Chateau and still should be because these chopped up 2CP maps are not very good

Yeah, FFA had just chateau and everybody goddamn loved it. Team DM had the 3v3 maps, and they work great, but also the 2cp maps and payload maps, and people thought they weren't good because of the sprawl, but at least you knew where your team was, so you could sort of organize. Doing FFA in the other maps is a mess. You wander around for 30 seconds, then get sniped. I say they take those maps, and make them 6v6v6v6 team DM, because that might actually work, even if you had to wait a minute or two longer for them. That's the only way they can work with that much empty space, and no reason to actually be in any one place. Roving gangs, tear-assing around.

I'm not even sure the game is coded to allow more than twelve active characters on a map at once, and I have no idea how hard it would be to try and make it happen. e; I guess you could do 3v3v3v3 but I still don't think that would address the issue that the various objective maps like 2CP and payload just aren't built for deathmatchin'. They really do just need to lock FFA on Chateau until they can get some actual custom built maps added to the pool.

Linear maps are really bad for deathmatch modes, and 3/4s of all the maps in the mode are super linear. Eichenwalde is probably the best of the non-chateau maps, just because there's a lot of interconnectedness in the map that makes is a lot better, but the others are really meh in general.

I don't really think this is tryhard enough for the tryhard thread because I kinda suck but I somehow managed to pull off gold (2419 SR) in placements after going through toxic as gently caress placements (so hateful) and I just feel better after being told I'll be bronze for sure by some jackass after I made a mistake I just needed a place to express a meager vindication.

All of the maps need some degree of remodeling-- new doorways, new paths/tunnels/bridges/ramps, obstructions of certain routes or sightlines-- to be decent for deathmatch. Considering how much time they already take making new maps for main modes, I just don't see Blizzard bothering with that.

Considering how much time they already take making new maps for main modes, I just don't see Blizzard bothering with that. Everytime they put in some throwaway horde or deathmatch map for a season it always seems to be pretty well-received, so I have to think there are at least some design docs on potentially expanding the main game modes.

I know that's frowned on, but I do pretty well with her. I just don't trust myself to play more offensive roles yet at the risk of throwing the match. I just really wonder what it is about being skilled at games that turns people into festering shitbags of vitriol. It's frustrating.

Being skilled doesn't make it worse, being bad doesn't make it worse. The biggest factors in a game's toxicity are popularity and how much it costs. Popularity because people suck, more people means more assholes, and since you only notice the bad ones more assholes means more bad experiences. Cost because cheaper or f2p games means more kids and kids have no inhibitions about being shits to each other or to you, plus it's easier to evade bans or silences (if it even has those things in the first place.)

Also the report system does literally gently caress all, so the only punishments most toxic players receive only happen when they leave games

Matsuri posted:Thanks. I've heard a lot of people say gold is bad too, but well, I don't play Overwatch all day everyday, and I played mostly Mercy in competitive. Gold is bad. So is plat, so is diamond, so is masters, etc. Top 500 are bad compared to people who get tapped to play pro esports. Of those esports players some are demonstrably better than others, like the difference between South Korea's pro Overwatch players and a bunch of others is sometimes astonishing. The pro team c9 Gaming just recently threw a match away when they all simultaneously abandoned the cart in overtime, they all just scattered in different directions and whoops, it was like something out of quickplay. There is badness everywhere, so take heart in that fact and know that anyone talking poo poo about your rank probably has a bunch of stuff in their own play that someone else could dunk all over them about. If looking at it that way doesn't do it for you the official Blizzard word on ladder rank distribution is that the median maximum skill rank for competitive Overwatch is somewhere around 2300 which means that technically you have a higher rank than 50% of the game's entire competitive playerbase.

i rank between gold and plat and in my experience the chillest people are in silver granted i mostly play quick play but i've added like four people on my friends list the past few weeks just because of how awesome they were to play with and it turned out they've all been bronze/silver now if only quick play would stop matching me with diamond and masters players
