There's no more pushing up for daring moves, because the tanks can just DPS you down easily. You have to stay in your optimal range, even if it means losing objective progress, because you're just going to be mincemeat otherwise. Even healers have more DPS pushing potential than some DPSes because of their increased sustain. no

The only toxicity i've had in quickplay so far is a healer on my team telling me to "get off reinhardt" when I had top damage and like 20k shielded and 3 big slams. I think he's not meta or something. What's competitive like with the scoreboard and 1 tank situation?

I mean if you can 1v1 tanks with a ranged DPS up close then good for you but the scoreboard says most people don't

I'm not saying it's a definitive change, I'm saying it's what I've seen from being in matches, and DPSes are by and large getting soaked by tanks.

DPS die every time 1v1 a tank and teams fold every time the DPS just hangs back and attacks tanks. its more than ever a game of playmaking now

The game is a lot flankier now. No more goats style death ball vs death ball. If you're soldier you want to be looking for angles and picks, not padding stats by shooting at tanks from the back. This is one way where the scoreboard does a bad job of incentivizing optimal play. I was in a game where people were being lovely to our Genji because his damage was low, but he was mainly flanking around and getting picks on the healers to allow us to move forward rather than just spam M1 into a Roadhog.Dick Jones posted:So far in OW2 I've unlocked Genji, but I got scared and stopped playing in case I was writing a new server side playercosmetics_earned.dat file under my Battle.net ID. That sounds like a brand new account then, not an OW1 account moving over. If you log in tomorrow and you still are not able to play the characters you normally would then you probably have to sort something out.

The shorter time between games in QP is making the game feel way more addictive. I was on this morning before work and two games in a row I was going to quit by the next game loaded so quick I just kept playing. It really helps with the "one more!" feeling when you're not waiting long. Before I would just leave game and reque but now there's no need.Bottom Liner posted:This is my only real criticism so far.

They want to sell skins so probably would never do this, but I would like a stock skin only setting.

OK, I finally got in and was able to play nearly six full games before disconnecting. - Sojourn is so loving fun. I think watching so many hours of OWL this season gave me a good sense of positioning and approach with her that I just don't have with any other hitscan, and I think I was getting a kill with a majority of my charged rail shots (not when I ulted and would panic at the sudden power, lol). I'm not Great with her, but I felt very impactful and the charging mechanic felt really satisfying. One win, one probable close loss (disconnected). - Both of my games as a tank felt great. I felt adequately supported with heals in a way that I almost never did in OW1, and I felt like I could swing control of a fight as long as we weren't down two or more people. I did a round as Dva and another as Reinhardt; it never gets old just deleting Zenyatta as Dva, and getting back-to-back kills with firestrike as Rein was awesome. Two wins. - My experience as a support was pretty rough. I did a full game of Kiriko and, although there were a couple of fun moments, I had about half as much damage as the third-place finisher and maybe 40% as much healing as the Mercy, so I think I was Extremely Unhelpful. I don't think I have the aim to do well with her. I did a game as Ana and Zen; Ana felt fine but I was pounding on Zen; that was great. One loss, one draw. - I really like Push as a game mode. It's hectic and felt energetic in a way that 2CP never did. - I haven't tried Junker Queen yet, but I hate how indistinct her silhouette is; it's hard to tell that she's a tank. Her design needs to be more bulky somehow. - Sure would be nice if the game recognized that I did, in fact, buy the Watchpoint pack weeks ago. surf rock fucked around with this message at 03:03 on Oct 6, 2022 |

I stopped picking her because my mechanical skill just is not that high and I find I'm more impactful on almost any other support. A well played Kiriko is awesome though.

Got back in and did one more game for the night on Sojourn. My team dominated on New Queen Street and completed the map with four minutes left. I realized that I'm maaaaaaaybe self-sabotaging on hitscan by always moving. I tried just finding a good sightline with a bit of cover in the back and triggered my ult, then aimed and fired without moving. Four straight headshots/kills before I missed one. I'm a console player and that has not happened in ~390 hours of Overwatch played since 2016.

I'm loving junker queens awful accent. If you told me the voice actor was a seppo I'd believe you but she's australian. I desperately hope that there's a lore dump where it turns out JQ is from burbank or something and is just desperately affecting the accent
