I've actually been really happy with how much variety there is in character selection. It's nice to feel like there's characters for your playstyle when you're not a hardcore FPS fan. b.) None of the support heroes have had their kits changed except to give them all health regeneration.

The lack of shields means you can pull off huge nades and sleeps all the time, plus autoheal means you don't have to blow nade on self-healing if you've got a decent position. of course flankers can ruin your day but you can credibly fend them off and also that's kinda how the DPS/support interaction should go Pattonesque fucked around with this message at 19:08 on May 4, 2022 |

I also preferred playing Support and Tank, and the gradual nerfing of Support in OW1 was a big factor in me playing pretty much never.

No Wave posted:a.) There are very, very loud players like you they are 70% of the people on the battle.net forums. b.) From the reports I heard, with there only being one tank that you can just walk around, it sounds like there's more flanking and supports randomly dying in an unfun way, if they don't have a lot of mobility. I'm a bit confused why you're trying to say both that a lot of people have recognized an issue and that there is no issue, but I'm not super invested in the issue either way. Either it's balanced or not, and I haven't played it, and I probably will play it when my friends get back into it. I'm slightly worried it'll be a shittier experience for me. The main intent of my previous post was to provide a counterexample to the folks verging on saying support should just be more DPS with some healing, without calling that idea out specifically because I think people were mostly joking about it. The best part of Overwatch has been the diversity of playstyles so I really hope they don't move away from that.

But I can see the point that there are enough shooters out there. It is fine for 1 game to be a cartoony first person moba thing.

Mercy isn't bad at all, especially if you're playing casually: healing and giving a damage buff to the more-important-than-ever tank or an effective DPS is more crucial than ever in 5v5

Role queue sucks because you can’t just switch to counter the one guy crushing your team then going back to your original plan so it takes all the counter play strategy out of the game

Arzachel posted:Yes, bring back 350 hp raidboss tracer, now with extra raidboss Sombra. This will surely make people want to play support!!! Easy solution; anything that gives bonus health in the form of armor or shields that isn't an ult doesn't give a flat universal amount, but specific amounts for each specific hero, also maybe not allow them to stack either if needed Countblanc posted:It's truly bizarre how often CoD comes up in this thread specifically, do people just not know about other arena/class shooters, or is it just being used as a weird disingenuous insult against The Other Gamers Probably because it's the other big FPS franchise the parent company owns

Irregardless posted:Role queue sucks because you can’t just switch to counter the one guy crushing your team then going back to your original plan so it takes all the counter play strategy out of the game You still have 5 (healers), 8 (Tanks) and 16 (DPS) other heroes to choose from. Still plenty of game changing potential. I generally don't like multiplayer shooters, but Overwatch series has been something different from everything else. The player roles and varied shooting/fighting mechanics is what makes it great. There's room for Headclickers, Spammers, Raidbosses and Healbots. There's something for everyone and they're roughly on balance.

There still needs to be some sort of test you must pass before a game starts, to prove you're alive. Like if a MH game starts, you should need to spell the letter W

I played a few rounds of OW1 tonight for the first time in many, many years. I don't know what some of these new champs even do and I at least heard that Mercy doesn't have her real ult anymore, so that wasn't too much of a surprise. I really like that in quickplay it's literally one round, not even any switching sides. That really does make it quick, which I love. There's still a hint of frustration with the usual things: teammates not noticing the soldier up high somewhere, murdering everyone, and stuff like that, and my old favorite: overextending on defense with 30 seconds left and throwing the round by giving the team two free picks, but since I don't go in with a very competitive mindset, I don't mind. I had fun. I'm reading the debate in the thread about roles and meta as a casual outsider, but if we're going down to 5v5 and everyone likes to play DPS best, why isn't it one tank, one support, and three dps? Scrubby dps would blame everything on the tank/support, but they do that already. Wouldn't that help with queue times? Or am I missing something?

Scrubby dps would blame everything on the tank/support, but they do that already. Wouldn't that help with queue times? Or am I missing something? When they were experimenting with 1-3-2, one thing they mentioned is going with 1 support can feel pretty bad for that support as a lot of fights would basically come down to which team kills the other support first which means you've got 5 people focusing you every fight. This could possibly be somewhat alleviated via making super supports (so you don't die instantly to a dive), but you still could easily end up in a situation where killing that one support has way too much influence on which team wins the fight. It's different than these new super tanks that you can at least kill last after taking out the rest of the team. The beta queue times we're seeing now are essentially irrelevant IMO, as a) it's beta, b) almost all the novelty in the first round of OW2 content was focused on tanks, and to a lesser extent DPS (new hero, multiple reworks). Hard to know how popular tank will remain once the novelty dies down. DPS queues already should be better in theory, as they're now 40% of the game instead of 33%. Despite some claims, a decent amount of players do like playing support (tended to be more popular than tank in OW1), but I do think some supports don't feel that great to play right now with how OW2 plays. If they don't address that, I think that will drive some support players to become tank or DPS mains, which would leave us with something closer to the unbalanced queues we're seeing in beta. However, they have said they are looking into addressing that. If they do a good job with that (extremely wishful thinking), queue times might not be as bad as OW1 for DPS players. If tank remains a popular role though (like we're seeing in beta), tank queue times will continue to suck, but going to 1-3-1 wouldn't help with that.

Another random complaint, how is it so hard to get the team color right in the kill feed for non standard stuff like a Mercy rez? This also happens with displaying point ownership on KOTH if I'm remembering right. I'm no master of game development but how is nailing that down still eluding them at this point?
