teagone posted:Good notes, thanks. I was playing support queue at the tail end of a comp session tonight so I was pretty tired. I'll try and lead with support tomorrow and see if my aim is any different lol. don't get discouraged if you end up having a lot of bad games, since i think she's the support with the highest raw variance out of all of them. you can obviously play better or worse on every support, but you're gonna have games where your aim is so bad that you feel like one of those streamers playing dark souls on DK bongos, and then the very next game every kunai you throw is heat seeking it's also worthwhile to spend a bit of time in training mode just seeing what everyone's head hitbox looks like, because it's not always obvious what counts as "head" in OW2. like, you'd think torbjorn and junkrat would be headshot city with how their front-on models have their heads at basically center mass, but good loving luck ever landing a dink on their actual head hitbox if god isn't on your side

here is a fun fact: an uncharged Zarya in Kiriko ult as higher DPS than a fully charged Zarya outside of it also it reduces her bubble cooldown to three seconds

Is it even possible to get out of bronze 5 when the rest of your team is wiping drool off their mouth or do you have to queue with other people

I think I'm like 0-10 in move the robot matches. Just seems to be the same script every time, get it almost to the other end then have it marched all the way back in the last minute. I'm sure there's something I'm missing as a player that's contributing to it but it just seems all that team cohesion we had goes poof at the end. PhazonLink posted:you know I kinda miss the endorsements for the other team. miss giving them during mirror duels such as Rein V Rein Same. Like I played a Widow the other night that was pulling off headshot after headshot after headshot while moving and flanking in the console pool and I couldn't even be mad at it. I am pretty sure she was aiming too and not a bot because it looked like controller movement of the reticle to me in all the kill cams.

each fight is on a teetering razor's edge where the first pick dramatically snowballs that fight and following fights because of tempo and ult charge. that means individual plays that get or prevent picks have a big impact. there's countless bronze to gm streams to prove this from ow1 for every role

I've clawed from bronze to gold in OW1 which felt like an accomplishment, but then getting stuck right back down in bronze again at the next reset was enough to kill any enthusiasm I had for the climb. I'm still trying to win and if anything I'm being much more mindful about not getting tilted, but ultimately am cool with just sticking at this level now.

comedyblissoption posted:the team that just won the fight seems to have a huge spawn disadvantage so they need to regroup after pushing a bit before they get streamrolled by the spawned-in 5-man This makes sense, thank you. Yeah I think we ultimately all lose our commitment to grouping up and keep trying to dive on the point. Also we seem to not die at the same time often enough.

Mid gold on support here and I really like how much impact I can have on the game. Supporting a strong DPS to keep getting flank picks, babysitting an aggressive tank that overextends and turning a losing fight into a winning one, or making big plays myself as Ana. Mostly doing Ana/Lucio/Bap but will probably add Kir to that when she unlocks in Comp.

What? We are talking about a hypothetical here. There currently are no weekly challenges that ask you to adjust your playstyle beyond 'queue flex sometimes' and 'play arcade' and queuing arcade definitely isn't worth 5000xp and 10 cents. They should take care to design some interesting ones and then actually give players significant amount of premium currency for them. Little popoff moments in your matches that align to getting a skin more than once a year.

Overwatch has always been a little snowbally if one team doesn't realise they need to start grouping and saving ults for a proper push. This makes it worse at lower levels, because these things require gamesense and the lower levels don't have that. poo poo, half the higher levels don't have that and get by on pure mechanics, then get really mad when you suggest they should stop trying to 1v5.

in terms of snowball, aside from the actual game mechanics and their implications -- there's also the real and huge psychological impact of winning or losing the first team fight lol some people just start basically loving throwing if you get rolled the first fight for w/e reason like a stray randomass hanzo arrow doming someone lol

As a support I'm extremely conscious of getting the gently caress out of dodge when I'm the last or second to last person on our team left alive and outnumbered As a tank, I've got no loving idea.

The higher my SR gets, the more OP Ana feels. They need to bring some other supports up to her level. Bap is pretty good too but he is hard to position in some of these new maps.

They could take away her gun and she’d still be played because nade and dart are that strong (especially nade).

Ana is like the one support I don't like playing because her gun sounds lovely so they should make her bad so I never feel pressured to play her again for nade/nano

Bap is pretty good too but he is hard to position in some of these new maps. she has a single real weakness (having a relatively lengthy reload on her primary heal) that's compensated for by having three of the strongest abilities in the game. kiriko can at least counter biotic's healcut, but there's no counter to nano boost aside from "run the gently caress away"

And that’s why I play Lucio and Moira.

That's why Ana is a carry character. Top 500 lists are up and there's some consensus, which characters are 'best' at high ELOs Zarya is clear no.1 tank, with Dva/Monkey/Sigma as distant 2nd. DPS side there's tie between Sojourn/Genji with Tracer/Sombra nearby. Funnily enough there's a Symmetra, Junkrat and Torb One-tricks high on the top 500 list too. Healer Side it's Ana with Bap and Lucio close behind.

Aexo posted:Was this changed? It wasn't like that last week. It's always been a feature of Kiriko's ult to speed up ability cooldowns by 3x.

If you get dove as Ana, you aren't speed-boosting or teleporting or superjumping or fading away, you have to either take and win the duel or hope your teammates use their own mobility to come back and peel for you. Also means that if you want to get good position up on high ground, you have to trust that your teammates are aware you can't heal them while you're trudging up the nearest staircase and don't go get themselves killed poking before the fight starts.

Example of it not reducing the cooldown speed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsSUd1rjunE&t=127s e: This is probably the beta/creator build, so maybe this is a bad example of it on live.
