I know the Lifetime challenges aren't things that have to be done quickly. But making progress on Support wins for the Medic title may be the death of me.

I'll admit this would rob me of one of my greatest joys in this game, a rein doing a full length pin right through the other team, getting deleted and their corpse saying "I need healing" 5+ times, but I'm willing to make that sacrifice

Wheeee posted:lol if you think that was about shotcalling Wait, is it calling me out for hiding chat? Or calling me out for doing what I'm supposed to be doing as D.Va? Lol. Dogstile just mentioned a handful of posts ago that OW2 D.Va should go bother enemies off their high ground perches and punish out of position players. Which is what I've been doing through my D.Va climb in comp. I have to boost away to do that most of the time.

Do we not get spray choices now? I thought we could equip more than one, but pressing T only gave me the default instead of a wheel of choices.

You have to equip them from the individual heroes menu. I dunno if there's any way to equip any universally or not. Anyways in the midst of my usual mystery hero and arcade nonsense I'm starting to really enjoy Kiriko. Swapping her primary and secondary fire makes a surprisingly big difference in play feel. That alongside turning off the Healing Ofuda Toggle to get more control over healing talismans makes her feel really good to play. The teleport is super fun and zippy and wall climb can help her get out of danger and get to good vantage spots. Cool fox ninja is cool.

teagone posted:What does the healing ofuda toggle do? It's set to On by default and makes her talismans shoot out all at once when you hit the button, but you can hit the button again to stop it midway (hence why they called it a toggle). If you turn it off you only shoot out talismans a set at a time, so you can hold the button for a stream or just click it once or twice if you just want a little bit of healing out. Toggle on is super clunky and tends to lock her in the full stream if you don't double click, having it off feels way snappier.

Im not saying its the correct decision but it is consistant with moira and mercy having their healing be their primary fire by default, which in turn makes a certain amount of sense given they are healers. I play moira on console and despite using her default key bindings for pc i switch the primary and secondary on console because it feels more natural to have right trigger held down constantly

I think the reason it feels different between Moira and Kiriko is just as simple as the hands. Kiriko holds and throws her kunai with her left hand and flings her talismans from her right. It probably sounds stupid but actually having the mouse button and actual hand animations line up feels better even if the default is actually more consistent with how other healers control.

her attack is very much like zenyatta for me. so it just feels right. my first advancement was from bronze 3 to silver 5 in open queue. i've been chasing challenges and not comping a ton. i want to switch back over to role queue, but it just feels like more games to grind at this point.

I’m one of the few that don’t swap the mouse buttons for her, but this has made me realize why they bother to have her hands crossed on your screen. She heals with her right hand but the motion starts on the left side.

I did feel her healing was a little wonky when I first tried her out, but have since gotten used to her default settings toggle on settings. Gonna try that toggle off tomorrow for a few matches.

There's a spray wheel but I think it's a different key from the quick spray? I think for me T is quick spray and then pressing Y brings up the spray wheel but I'd suggest looking at your keybind settings to find out which ones it is for you!

That combined with her attack being like Zens (as mentioned), makes it feel more natural to me to have her primary be the attack. Moira is the opposite, but her attack also isn't a shot like Zen/Bap/Kiriko. Mercy heals as primary, but her secondary (with staff out) isn't an attack either.

I start most matches with an actionable threat about how I'm going to hunt down anyone who misses headshots, goes out of line of sight when I'm trying to heal, times ults poorly etc. Works great.

Kiriko is really fun. Giving a support character Mei's M2 is actually just straight up great. I feel like it's time to let Mercy use her staff and gun at the same time tbh. I actually think Mercy and D.Va's pistols are the most satisfying weapons in the game and it's such a shame that you basically never get to use them.

I like seeing more stats in-game now, although the inability of people to read them reminds me much too often of work. There have been several matches where we won, and the enemy supports start yelling about "healer diff" because they healed a total of 24k and we 16k. They are super useful to spot potential issues inside a team though, to either punish a good player or force a low performing one to more mistakes.

Has anyone else had issues of rank not changing at all after getting the 7 wins repeatedly? I've been promoted from Silver 3 three times now back to Silver 3. Last one was with like 7-2 result, so would assume at least a slight change. The first time it happened I figured it was reasonable, as the matches were really random and imbalanced. Although, as I stated earlier I never even got placement matches done, but started directly from Bronze 6. So it is quite possible something is very broken in my case.

I find the endorsement system a bit weird, it’s like I get to level 4, get 2 or more endorsements a match (healer supremacy) and then it’s like CONGRATS YOU’RE PROMOTED TO LEVEL 4 Do you need to be hitting 3+ promotions every game?

I have one game of Rein where we played it on KR so me and the other tank went "cool, rein honour" and spent the entire game swinging relentlessly at eachother. I think D.va is absolutely incredibly powerful, but if you don't have the game sense to know when to come back, yeah your winrate will drop. Is whoever's checking the stats including the lower ranks? I imagine she's absolutely a tank that fares worse the lower rank you go. On JQ chat I forced her in a ton of QP games with friends last night and its actually insane how much effort you have to put in to be effective with her than with other characters. There was a few times when I went "gently caress it", swapped to literally any other tank and immediately made game changing plays. I actually like her kit, but it doesn't really fit as a tank and currently your reward for hitting your skillshot is "hope your team pays attention", whereas with say, hog, its "get a pick". dogstile fucked around with this message at 09:33 on Oct 14, 2022 |
