Brendan Rodgers posted:I don't understand the game enough to know what's going on beyond the Sigma and Orisa shields being a big part of why I'm a god now, but I like it. Every engagement favours me now and I never feel frustrated with Moira like I did before. You've got an ability that can heal through shields, you have a get-out-of-jail-free card that saves you from flankers and the ults that can kill you, and every engagement happens within your optimal range. You can also build ult insanely quick off Sigma and Orisa alone

I've given it like a year plus but I think Doomfist and Orisa have been objectively bad for the game.

As long as Widowmaker is in the game there will never be anything that can be worse for the game, she's just such a terrible fit for the game(it would be another thing entirely if she had some way of bypassing Shields though) Heliotrope posted:They seriously need to stop her ability to spam shields.

You'd have to add a sombra-like ability to destroy shields to redeploy them, and massively reduce the cooldown to 3 or 4 seconds after they are destroyed.

Exactly, hence why the better option would probably be to give more characters ways to bypass Shields, kinda silly that we only really have two characters with kits that are particularly good for busting shields(Symmetra and Bastion)

I remember when people argued with me that the best thing to do was stay in cover and plink at the shield when fighting orisa. I would scream till my words were repleaced by floating blood clouds that we should go get her and not let her sit there infinitely deploying shields. it got to the point where I would intentionally go in a direction toward the orisa but away from the team to make her turn or use her orb before she wanted to hopefully allowing the team to push in or see a now more vulnerable orisa. Dont let sit comps sit. flank and force them to break. go touch the point. shoot orisa from behind. something. anything but trying to corridor fight her.

Bellular was saying that current word is that skins won't carry over from OW1 and I'm not going to lie that would seriously put me off since collecting skins is one of the things I like best about it.

Can't wait to sit back and watch the dumpster fire. I won't be mad if they manage to prove me wrong, but how in the world is Overwatch 2 a good idea at this point? PvE gets stale very quickly as evidenced by the current PvE events (let's face it, we grind them out for braindead easy, 100% wins for weekly arcade boxes), and a single new game mode does not shake things up enough. Are they planning to divert resources from OW and just let it die to force everyone over to OW2? That will sit very well with the current player base, I assume. Or fragment the already dwindling number of players even more? As someone who actually owns every single cosmetic in OW (don't worry, f2p only), not having them carry over to OW2 as hinted is such a big "gently caress you" that I personally wouldn't want to touch the new one with a 10 foot pole on principle. But hey, Blizzard has a solid track record of making decisions that the community is totally cool with over the last couple of months, they can't be wrong here and I'm dumb.

Echo is loving terrible and it'll be painful watching them try to convince us she's cool. It was painful enough last year when they had a cowboy gingerly help a lady step down from a carriage, except she's a floating robot and has no legs and it's the future instead of the 1800s.

I can't seem to find anything definite about whether OW2 is straight up a sequel or some kind of expansion thing, because it sounds like Echo and the new mode is being added to OW1. So it sounds like they're still moving forward with OW1 as normal... But if nothing caries over to 2 (the small shots of Lucio and Tracer make it seem like they have fully new built from the ground up models so they probably can transfer skins over because of that) what is OW2's PVP gonna be? Is it some totally different PVP thing that OW doesn't have? Why not just mash that into OW1? I know we only have like 5 days until we find out these answers but this whole OW2 business seems really strange megane posted:Echo is loving terrible and it'll be painful watching them try to convince us she's cool.

Also, a big thing that gets brought up every time a new hero comes out is that there still isn't a black woman in the game. I get where they're coming from, especially when we've gone, starting with Moira, white girl, white girl, a hamster, white girl, black guy, then old white man, and now possibly, robot girl. I'm a white dude, but I see the complaint come up from black players on twitter every new hero release, and I can't say I really blame them. And then Riot comes out recently and does exactly that. I think it's fair that people are starting to get annoyed at that. Macaluso fucked around with this message at 19:27 on Oct 27, 2019 |

the way the leaks are worded make it sound more like apex season 2 or the like than it does a sequel I don't think it'd make sense to put out an fps with any competitive mp so soon with owl in full swing, so I assume that the new game mode at the very least is for this game

I'm waiting for Blizzard's official announcement before saying anything. Don't get me wrong--whatever they plan to announce is, in all likelihood, going to be a dumpster fire on par with Diablo Immortal, but I want to see how their marketing team tries to sell their next trash idea.

An expansion with more PVE elements is fine. Calling it a sequel, charging $40/$60, but keeping the exact same engine and game otherwise would be really stupid and wholly what I expect them to do.

https://twitter.com/Slasher/status/1188523983756496897 This would be way more reasonable than a new game this early in Overwatch's lifespan, especially since the Switch version just hit renews their shelf presence for 2020 and gives existing players a large amount of new content, nobody loses anything edit: this leaked from the blizzcon store  so we can be sure OW2 is a legit thing thats happening, if people werent convinced before Sea Lily fucked around with this message at 22:10 on Oct 28, 2019 |

I haven't played much since 2/2/2 was introduced. I finished my placement matches for tank; haven't finished them for dps/support yet. Where do I go to see when my SR will start decaying? And do I have to play a certain number of matches for each of the three roles on a certain timeframe to keep decay from happening?

sr doesn't decay anymore. probably because the queue times suck so hard at the high ranks where decay actually matters

In my eyes, it would be a massive branding failure to refer to another game in the same universe but with a completely different genre as a "sequel." If this next game is as different to the original as described, but they bill it as "Overwatch 2," it won't appeal to anyone. It's going to piss off fans of the original game, and anyone who hasn't played the original won't care to jump straight to the sequel. I'm thinking this new gameplay experience is going to be, if anything, their response to the crowd of fans who have been clamoring for substantial lore since the game's release. Put all the story progression in the casual PvE focused game experience while keeping the hardcore competitive crowd sequestered in the original and just support both simultaneously. I still think they should just release a feature-length movie but maybe that's just my stupid movie nerd dream.

Why waste so much time meticulously balancing and working on a pro gaming and streaming culture if you are just going to throw it all away? It seems incredibly risky to assume a large number of people would transition to the new platform, and it could easily be a flop for any number of reasons. The fortnite thing makes much more sense.

Yes, that would be a terrible idea on par with revoking prize money and banning a pro player for supporting human rights and firing the production team for the event that had nothing to do with it. Blizzard would never do something that dumb.

Hitscan snipers should never be in any multiplayer competitive video game forever. Or snipers in general. The only good implementation of snipers in video games was putting an ironsight/ACOG on a sniper in battlefield.
