The Berzerker posted:I've only had the game since like September, are there other PvE events beyond the two we just had? Those were a fun way for me to still be playing Overwatch when I am too high or tired to play the 'real' game halloween and uprising are the only ones so far iirc, but that doesn't mean that they won't add more they get kinda old after a while, but the pvp stuff is fun and makes me hope they take a page out of borderlands' book and make a diablo style coop shooter game some day. tho they'll probably go back to making it an mmo or something equally disappointing

When Hanzo shows up on the heir select or tutor screen, isn't he holding up a scatter arrow?

Before I switched to a new screen the game displayed "Latency" as around 35 MS (with a 60 Hz screen). Now, with a 75 Hz screen, it is at about 75. Vsynch is on, FPS is display-based. Is this normal or should I change something? Might be unrelated though.

Then your bullets couldn't hit loving anything and you'd lose. It was hilarious tho

Vsynch is on, FPS is display-based. Is this normal or should I change something? Might be unrelated though. Monitor refresh rate is independent of latency, although higher refresh rates will mean lower input lag overall. If you want to improve your input lag the recommendations are usually as follows: Turn off V-Sync Turn off Triple Buffering Turn On Reduced buffering Display based FPS is a good place to start since that will give you 85fps You can increase this with a custom limit if your PC can handle it. I leave mine at around 130. Make sure all your settings are low enough that you are getting a consistent. I'm more CPU limited than GPU limited so I typically leave texture filtering and texture quality pretty high, but I lower reflections, effects, and shadows. I also set my render scale to 75% to increase performance and it has the bonus of making the red outline around enemies more noticeable.

played some rein last night for the first time in like a year. had kind of fallen off him because how frustrating it gets when nobody stands behind your shield. i'm kinda feeling it now, though, because i've lost a bunch of games lately and now i'm getting paired with silvers/golds and: a) i can just hold w+m1 and wipe half the enemy team with no repercussions b) the most common tank picks at this skill range are roadhog and dva so i get so many free earthshatters lol

Who's good in FFA, now? Is Brigitte still busted (in that mode in particular)? I did well with Moira early on but either changes weakened her or people just got wise to her.

Is there any trick to Sombra's hacking ability? I keep getting caught out - either the animation seems slow or I'm doing it wrong and I'm not sure how. I just assume you hold RMB and keep your aim on them, but I seem to do 3/4 of the hack and then it disengages at the last moment. Do you have to be precise with your aim and is there a specific range - like real close - you have to be at?

Do you have to be precise with your aim and is there a specific range - like real close - you have to be at? They have to be within range. If it's stopping, then I'm guessing they're moving out of range before it goes off. You don't have to worry about aim - once you target someone it should stay focused on them.

That's probably it, then. I really like Sombra's ~*aesthetic*~ and character but playing as her requires me to be in a sneaky mindset that I'm not really very good at. I keep finding myself trying to hack people when shooting them in their face would probably work just as well and I can't help but find myself running directly at the enemy with RMB held down

If they're facing you, shoot them. Only hack from behind, so they can't shoot you and interrupt your hack.

I don't usually play MH but decided to give it a whirl tonight. My first game put me against a team on defense that had two Roadhogs, a Brigitte, Bastion, Orisa, and Mercy, lmao but then I kept playing anyway and one time I found a Winston in a room and I was also Winston so we had a dance off while our teams fought on the point, and that was pretty cool

Her hack is so fast now after the last buff as long as your target (or their teammates) aren't actively drawing down on you it should go off without a hitch. Still my fav toon to play just wish people wouldn't tilt off the face of the Earth when they see a somba during hero select

Is it better to go shoot an enemy you just hacked, or prance off and find another victim to shoot in the face?

if you're not gonna follow up after you hack someone, why do it in the first place. anyone else is gonna be a harder target by default because they can use their abilities

As with any disable, the best time to hack somebody is when they've just committed to fighting your teammates, and the second best time is when their teammates have done so (and thus left the victim to get SMGed to death).

Is this really the case? Being a scrub mid-tier Gold unworthy of licking higher tier's boots I'd assume people in platinum or whatever it is and above would have the sense to take cover behind the big happy Reinhardt. But yeah combat Reinhardt is the best Reinhardt and with Brigitte being the way she is currently you're basically an immortal melee duo capable of taking on the world forever.

My experience in gold & low plat is that you get a lot of very chargy, uncommunicative Rein players, and people are consequently in the habit of not trusting the shield. I had one the other night who was utterly badass as an aggressive Rein in that he was getting kills in on the opposing team, but both supports were in constant peril by a) having no shield and b) desperately trying to keep the main tank up despite the fact that he'd just charged halfway across the map. Our Mccree (who wasn't all that great, to be honest) was trying to be behind the shield, but it would only last as long as it takes charge to come back up. Ended with the Rein bitching that he had gold elims and damage and that the rest of the team should step up, which just goes to show that having good medals isn't an indication that you've been doing a good job. This seems to be a bit of a vicious circle, though. I suspect that Rein players can start to get used to people not being behind the shield anyway, and so they don't really think in terms of team shielding beyond, perhaps, covering their own personal support.

Last time I played was just before Brigitte came out and looking at overall gameplay footage now I'm not sure I want to. Is the game still fun? It looks like a mess of shields and getting sniped constantly

It's not terrible, and I like Hanzo and Zarya, but I don't think it's great either.

Only thing I can think of is increased cooldown length.

Increase cooldowns, decrease healing from her passive, decrease ult charge rate, make armor from Rally fall off after ult ends and she starts charging a new ult (this would make her ult more consistent with everyone else's--nobody else can enjoy the benefits of their previous ult while charging a new one), etc. Not Brigitte but regarding the current meta: I'm fully expecting Hanzo's ult charge rate to get nerfed. I'll frankly be surprised if it doesn't get nerfed.

The big problem at the moment is actually having people work together as a team, so best bet of having a good time is finding people to play with.

Why is shutting down Tracer specifically important? Tracer got a direct nerf, neo-Hanzo also crushes her, and I'd even guess the Torb rework will hurt her a bit. She's fairly bad right now and presumably will be even if Brig can only instagib her every 6 seconds instead of 5 or whatever.
