Dick Burglar posted:You left out characters in the defense category. I know this is intentional, because defense heroes are kind of poo poo, but your statement isn't really true if you're just going to ignore one of four categories. Yeah its entirely on purpose, every hero i listed performs a different role and has transferable skills to other heroes in that role. Note that when i say role, i dont mean categories. Higher rank teams dont use offence or defence, so if youre starting out you might as well start by trying the standard for everything and deviate from there. Junkrat is fun but i think he doesnt have much crossover with other heroes

One-trick Hanzos make the act of playing Overwatch less enjoyable than the act of doing anything else, whereas posting is the bee's knees and has been since the days of ARPANET.

So I’ve just tried Moira and she seems fun/good. I really like her heal/death ball but her ult feels really unsatisfying to use.

I think the beam needs to be a tad bit wider, as it is there are a lot of times where you think you have it trained on someone but you dont, and that makes it feel like its doing almost no damage.

It's definitely situational since it's most effective when your team is between you and the enemy team in a hallway with no flankers trying to kill you. Think of it as less of a 'oh poo poo' button like the other healers and more of a pressure applying ability since it has a long duration and routs most enemies behind whatever point they're trying to hold.

Zarya has this problem to a lesser extent, there isn't very much (non-auditory) feedback for hitting someone with your beam. It's much worse with Moira since the beam is so large it obscures most of your screen as well as enemy healthbars which is what I usually use to confirm that I'm burning someone as Zarya.

Yeah I mean in terms of output but also actual feel using the ult. There seems to be next to no feedback for the impact the ability is causing. Most of the time I wish the ult would end a bit earlier so I can reposition.

moira's ult is incredibly underwhelming. i feel like fading out of a grav and using it on your team is the only satisfactory use i've found for it, in which case i'd rather be zen and trans. i guess it could be a good initiator for a fight too when your team is being skittish, but again, i'd rather be mercy and valk to force my team to push in.

you guys who think moiras ult sucks prob just should work on tracking cuz it is great at deleting heroes. Either hit 3-4 of them at once on the ground or use it to kill ulting mercy and still have some left to do a few hundred damage to each of their tanks.

Either hit 3-4 of them at once on the ground or use it to kill ulting mercy and still have some left to do a few hundred damage to each of their tanks. Eeeeh... It heals twice as fast as it damages, and works on all the allies it hits, so you should focus on that, but it is good for wiping the <200hp heroes. But it only damages one enemy at a time, so not as good during into a Graviton Surge. Also good to hit Rein or Orissa through their shield. But the best thing about it is how often it charges.

Manatee Cannon posted:yea I think something's weird with the way they track that stat or else the name is misleading. the statistics page lists my best streak as 68 but looking at the stats on the overview page, my best kill streak across all seasons there is 27 as soldier. so where is the 68 coming from? have you played against AI? for some reason that feeds into your overall stats.

BizarroAzrael posted:Eeeeh... Her beam absolutely pierces enemy targets. Moira's ult is mostly lackluster; the main strength of Moira's ult is that it charges so quickly. It should be the first ult on the field at the start of a match before anyone can get theirs, short of maybe Sombra, and should simply be used as liberally as possible. It makes a pretty decent initiator. novaSphere fucked around with this message at 04:23 on Dec 27, 2017 |

Moira ult lets you damage pharah at long range really easily. Not a bad use for it if the enemy pharah moves away from cover.

Her ult is countered by a half dozen abilities, not to mention that it prevents her from shifting out of danger or using balls for ten secs. I'm really not a fan. Let me toggle out of it early to shift/orb and i'd like it.

Let me toggle out of it early to shift/orb and i'd like it. I mean, every channeled ult is 'countered' by the same abilities. Moira's isn't any exception, and optimal use of the ult involves not being in the range of any of those things.

I might argue impossible against actual competition.

I might argue impossible against actual competition. I was looking at the all competitive seasons option in statistics and yea I really don't think I've ever actually done that. even if it's keeping track of your kills across rounds (which I know has cut off my kill streaks in the past), that seems really unlikely especially since that other stat showing the most I've done in one life as a hero is 27 means it'd have to be across at least 3 rounds of control. maybe it'd also include going back to the spawn and swapping off without dying but idk e: if you check a specific hero the wording for the kill streak stat is different. I'm not sure why or if that means anything tho Manatee Cannon fucked around with this message at 05:49 on Dec 27, 2017 |

Just make Hanzo and widow actually be a kind of disguised spectator mode. They are completely invisible and no one can hear them and they do 0 damage. Choosing either hero removes you from the team and frees the hero slot fot another player. Maybe the game could generate ragdolls and fake killfeeds from time to time. See how long it takes until someone notices. (never)

Speaking of one-trick snipers, I'd like to give a special shout-out to the Widow last night who sat on the roof of Hanamura A waiting for someone to shoot, and ignoring my desperate duel with the Reinhardt capturing the point under her feet. She then spent the rest of the game sitting on the building outside Hanamura B with 12 HP, plinking at people, and not wondering whether the fact that the enemy never bothered to do anything about her indicated anything about her performance.

Don't worry guys, apparently, they contribute as much as everyone else on the team! Guarding those flanks next to the spawn while everyone else gets thrown into the grinder.
