Help a hero out!

it's harder to be a bitch in this game when everyone can see everyone else's stats

Had one guy in the beta piss and moan about how our healers were never healing until he eventually said "lol look 2k healing done for each". I looked at the scoreboard and they each had 2k damage and 12k+ healing. I pointed this out and his response was that it FELT like 2k healing!!

Fortune and Glory.
i've had one in three competitive games where the team was using comms. it's kind of forced me to use the dumb ping system. middle mouse button is kind of awkward depending on the hero, so i may need to find a new bind for it.



here's a guide to using chat:

1. did you steam roll the other team? if yes, type "close game" or "close round" in all chat

2. did you win your game? if yes, type "izi pizi" in all chat.

3. is the game over? type "gj team" in team chat to farm endorsement points.

if other team gets mad at and curses you out for your bad manners, then report them for abusive chat.

i hope this has been helpful.

Some DPSer was bitching in voice chat about how our team was useless, when I was playing competitive yesterday, so I took a peek at the stats, turns out that I've had done more damage than him while simultaneously having the most heals out of all 4 supports.
That shut him up real quick.

OK, I was able to log in immediately and my Watchpoint pack is now appearing. Seems like the fixes yesterday worked pretty well.

Got accused of throwing matches because when I could finally get into the game, I couldn't move. The lag was so bad I couldn't see who I was playing in Mystery Heroes until I got shot. Am sure others are having similar problems?

Also, how do you see what damage and healing your teammates are doing in game? One DPS had something like 300, according to some angry teammate in chat, but I wonder if the dude was having similar issues to me: shooting blindly seconds after I hit the shoot button. Spray and pray takes on a new meaning when you're literally spinning in circles or releasing rockets against a wall.

It shows kills/assists/deaths and Damage/Heal/Mitigate for each team member for both teams.

If you miss the gambling boxes you can relive the fun by queuing support and rolling the dice on whether or not your team is a bunch of lobotomized lab rats jumping around on little rat keyboards with the hope of receiving little pieces of cheddar

Hey now, no need to be extreme here. I'm pretty sure rats would do a much better job.

Rankings were useless for comparison. Tab is best way to judge who is popping and who is not:

The human animal is a beautiful and terrible creature, capable of limitless compassion and unfathomable cruelty.
Did they severely nerf the splash damage on Symmetra's secondary fire? I used to be able to treat it like a rocket launcher and do a bunch of damage by aiming at people's feet and I feel like that's just not helping as much.

(Absolutely love the faster turret travel though.)

Help a hero out!
i mentioned this during the beta but i like how they made everyone a little more psycho in their various kill/assist/etc lines. though hearing Lucio be like "wow i just loving blasted your brains all over the pavement lmao" when he gets a headshot elim and then during round start he'll say "boy i love my friends in Overwatch, created by blizzard entertainment :)" and it sorta kills it. let them be psychos, i dont need to hear the characters fawning over each other for 30 seconds before every match

She is good at finishing off targets. If you can burst down a light enemy by half with normal fire then you can finish with the rail before they try to run for help or cover.

damage to barriers and anything that was mitigated by increased DR ala nano boost. not sure if it applies to temp invulns/blocks, although i'd imagine not since it would wildly inflate the number

Oh man, you earn 60 currency per week? So that's 240 per month.. A legendary skin is 1900. So if you grind every week that's 7 months and 3 weeks for a legendary skin. And since I like to take breaks from games that's most like 1 year + before I can get ONE skin for ONE hero

I guess zero new skins for me :negative:

I've never cared for skins either cause you still end up looking exactly like 2000 other people. if i could actually customize my character like wow or whatever, i'd care, but not for skins.

No it's still correct. The hack locks out abilities for a bit.

Maybe there is a bug but I've noticed it will not lock out abilities that they are already doing?
Or maybe it doesn't disrupt ultimates I dunno. I've hacked several people right at their ultimate and it didn't do anything.
