Also, is Brigitte buffed by context now that barriers are harder to come by? While 250 hp can't stand up to any amount of choke point spam but it'll help with the Widowmaker plinking someone mentioned. Edit - I guess they disallowed prepaid because a hacker or griefer could use a burner phone but holy poo poo just work on those edge cases manually or something and don't make people feel too poor to play a game.

Why do I see so many people treating it like they're asking you to do calculus while skydiving. TF2 had a mode where both teams push a cart in opposite directions didn't they? Or was it two carts on two tracks? Also hasn't a tank always been a "better fighter" than most DPSs barring things like Reaper the Tank Killer? The DPS thing isn't actually raw brawling ability it's mobility, right? Like, most DPS aren't happy facing most tanks in anything like a one on one fight, right? Am I just completely off base on that?

Jack Trades posted:That's the case with every Tank now basically. Yeah, the more I play the game the more it seems like this is a terrible idea. It feels fresh at first, but when a tank is out of position and at half health for the 30th time and takes a duel 1v1 against a DPS that tries to punish them and wins with their personal CDs alone for survival, it starts to get pretty unfun. One of my mains is Sym who CLEARLY has gotten the short end of the stick in this game, but tanks like Orisa and Doomfist just basically tank my fully charged beam and 3 turrets for like 5 seconds straight and live, then take me from 225 health > 0 in like 2 seconds. There was an instance where I was playing Pharah and an Orisa survived through my entire ult by popping CDs and having a mercy beaming them. It's a little ridiculous.

The fully charged beam is no longer a chainsaw? Edit - to be clear I don't necessarily mean "in OW2", I fell off of OW1 so I may have lots of out of date character impressions.

Jack Trades posted:Sym was always my main DPS and she's feels so bad now. She has no defensive abilities, and she always had to have a shields or at least a large back to hide behind and OW2 has neither. Yeah, I thought the new DPS passive they announced would be perfect for her, since it gives her momentum on beam kills, but TBH, I haven't really noticed it. I'm sure if I pull a big flank and eliminate their entire backline it helps, but the char is fundamentally underpowered. It used to be a character that punishes either greediness or stagnation on tanks, now i'm not sure what it does. And it doesn't really end with her, i'm not too sure what reaper does anymore either. The same thing with flanks, I suppose, but you can't duel against hogs or DVAs with him anymore. Mei? Doesn't do anything. There is a pattern with characters that essentially lost something huge they had in OW1 vs characters that didn't; look at Tracer, Soldier, or Genji. They are top of the chain because they are basically the same they were, while probably half or more of the DPS role is notably worse than they were in OW1, while all tanks are stronger. Even cowboy man is pretty weak right now, because he has no flashbang (and let's be honest, the sticky nade is still annoying, just no where near as good as the bang). Saying it's a change is more of an understatement than people seem to realize or admit at first. BabyRyoga fucked around with this message at 18:05 on Oct 5, 2022 |

I was really convinced that the betas were just "here's some early changed we'll keep expanding on" and not ALL of the changes. They changed the game balance drastically but left like half of the cast untouched, so a whole bunch of them are just really badly designed for this new environment.

A bunch of poo poo seems broken so they might be erroneously rejecting numbers as their servers slowly die. Or else their broken servers erroneously accepted my number. Who knows. It's a really lovely system that they implemented in any case. The person quoted in that tweet who said Blizzard made them feel too poor to play a video game is really sad.

Jack B Nimble posted:TF2 had a mode where both teams push a cart in opposite directions didn't they? Or was it two carts on two tracks? That was payload race, where you had two rolling objectives and had to push them into the opponent's base. Technically different but same function, the objectives were just more sticky because you couldn't quickly roll it back. The closest I can think of would probably be splatoon whose ranked mode had a moving tower that you had to move back to the other team's base, but other games have had modes like it. Really, just fight on the objective. Doesn't matter what the objectives is, fight on it, follow it, win.

Wheeee posted:their tank redesign is so terrible i have to hope they'll fix it, but i already know i'll be let down Yeah I loved OW1 more than I cared to admit and this new format and the character redesigns somehow feel like they’ve taken something out of it? One tank makes the whole thing weirdly unbalanced (not on mechanics, but on feel). OW1 felt like it was about pushing tanks forward while the team keeps the line and allows for pushing forward. OW2 feels like it’s about support/dps buzzing around the one tank like a swarm of bees, trying to deal as much damage as possible. Idk, it feels like it’s meant to be faster but really it just feels more chaotic.

One tank makes the whole thing weirdly unbalanced (not on mechanics, but on feel). one tank is good, one tank that happens to be an overpowered raid boss that can easily 1v1 any non-tank and even take 1v2 fights they 'shouldn't' be able to is bad the game turning into a slog in which tanks pussyfoot around behind shields until one team has enough Q's charged to bust the stalemate is absolutely awful gameplay, the present ow2 tank paradigm sucks but is still better than before the entire trinity design principle is wack as gently caress and doesn't work for an FPS, but if you gotta have it tanks should just be slightly burlier dps with more utility and a commensurate decrease in damage Wheeee fucked around with this message at 18:39 on Oct 5, 2022 |

I've been playing a lot of Apex for the past two years and coming back to OW feels really good and I've been absolutely shredding people with hitscan. The new engine feels really good overall, but especially the aiming. Some people there mention it, but make sure your resolution settings aren't on one of the 60fps ones. The menus are really terribly laid out in general, but especially all the graphics settings. Bottom Liner fucked around with this message at 18:49 on Oct 5, 2022 |

This sounds entirely horrifying to the point where I feel i must be misunderstanding it. They're making a tournament division separate from the main division entirely for trans people and women in order to make them feel more included in the community...by separating them from the main cup? And to accomplish this separate but equal inclusivity bonanza you have to go through gender screening?
