iTrust posted:being placed in bronze as support when you were Plat/Diamond in OW1 is Fucked Despite how different the game is, you'll climb out pretty quick if you were playing around Plat/Diamond tier comp in OW1, even if you placed in Bronze in OW2. Related, guess my brother took what I said to heart about improving lol and is going on a win streak atm. He's ranked up to a season high Gold 3 now after having deranked to Gold 5. We won 3 straight just now, giving him a 7-4 record when turning in his 77th win on DPS queue. teagone fucked around with this message at 02:16 on Oct 23, 2022 |

Did they make Moira more Irish? I don't remember the accent the last time I played. It's more pronounced. Or my memory is bad.

No but they made everyone else less Irish so it sticks out more.

I've been playing a fair bit of Sojourn and she is ludicrously OP. Also the scoreboard is good but I'm really annoyed that they've still kept the choice to obfuscate stats as much as possible. Getting any game info about the game you *just played* is awful, to the extent that you even can.

No, Genji, I'm not going to dive way past the robot into the enemy team to heal you while you try to 1v5 them, no matter how many times you spam "I need healing." No, it's not the team's fault for you not getting healing when you're a million miles away from your own team/the objective.

Given what a pain it is to input text into the console it should just auto-ban anyone who does is since it’s toxic 100% of the time.

Did they ever add chat to hearthstone? A turn based game with a lot of downtime meant to simulate playing cards in a tavern but you literally weren’t allowed to chat lol. Guess that says a lot about that genre, but still surprising that a game like OW has anything beyond team chat at all.

If someone is gonna be a toxic piece of poo poo, I don't think the scoreboard not being there is gonna prevent it. They are still going to be a toxic piece of poo poo. That's why its one of those Blizzard unequivocally has their heads up their asses things when it comes to the decision to hide stats and profiles etc to prevent people from being toxic.

Yes, the post I was replying to was saying the opposite, that the game is more toxic without it. It’s not. It’s always toxic. The scoreboard enables a new form.

I like that it shows you explicitly and only your stats because I imagine someone in a dark room somewhere being really mad that they can't go back and look at how bad that one Mercy was in that game they played six weeks ago.

I'd rather someone talk about diffs and who has or doesn't have gold damage than going on racist, sexist, or homophobic rants. Spanish Matlock posted:I like that it shows you explicitly and only your stats because I imagine someone in a dark room somewhere being really mad that they can't go back and look at how bad that one Mercy was in that game they played six weeks ago. Yeah, clearly the statute of limitations on being mad in a dark room somewhere is 4 weeks.

I have seen a couple of genuine GG’s in chat, and one time someone was obviously annoyed enough to say “PLEASE KILL THE PHARA”. The rest is just stupid poo poo like healer or DPS diff. I also once got told “Mercy W” and still racking my head trying to figure out what it means

They'd do this anyway, the only difference is now they have numbers to use. I think it's way more toxic when you're just being a knob because you feel bad and not because you can clearly see that your ana is somehow healing less than your soldier or w/e. Granted, even mentioning this would probably get called toxic at this point. "Hey ana could you chain heal me this fight" tends to draw some form of ire We all played overwatch 1 right? I could be landing a shatter a fight and if my team's getting solo'd by some caffiened up 18 year old some rear end in a top hat will still type tank diff.

Yeah, the scoreboard isn't the root problem. The problem is that I can't stuff enough grey market adderall up my nose to stop some shitter kid from calling me a slur for not being Shroud without either having a heart attack or having Semphis blow the whistle in an interview.

Maybe it's because I don't play comp or maybe it's just luck, but I've seen only a small amount of such toxicity. Certainly not none, there have been some diffs in chat and three or four absolute ragers. But honestly a lot less than I have expected. Mostly I've just seen a ton of terrible, awful account names that merited reporting. I don't doubt it exists, I suppose I've just been fortunate to not see most of it.

I've started playing OW2 a few days ago after not touching OW for a long while and - it's still pretty fun! Still enjoying my usual DVA / Pharah / Lucio with pubbies. In regards to the toxicity discussion, I've so far only seen 1 person whining and bitching and being generally toxic, otherwise it's mostly complete radio silence or GG's when the round ends. I'm not sure that I understand how endorsements work, do they actually do anything? Apparently I've levelled up my endorsements to lvl2 but nothing actually happened? Also is there no way to unlock skins and emotes and poses etc with lootboxes? How are you supposed to get anything now? I absolutely refuse to buy a battle pass, does that mean I'm SOL for new drops?

The only toxicity I really see these days is just how people play now. Most of my matches these days have some amount of spawn camping, so that's depressing, though there was that one match where I snuck up and captured the point twice by myself as Roadhog since they were all busy ignoring the point they were supposed to defend. Also, bring back Sym's permanent portals, they're kind of worthless now.

YoshiOfYellow posted:Where's all the Roadhog mains? Am I an old out-of-touch geezer for playing him? He's still OK but he's just getting heavily overshadowed by the S tier tanks because really, when you can get that kind of advantage you'd be crazy not to. IMO. Like when playing against him it's pretty clear that he's just this waddling sack of survivability.

Any map with a gap or a dropoff and he becomes one of the deadliest characters out there. Well for sure, but Rialto and King's Row have plenty of places to hook/whole hog an enemy to their instant death. Plus, that hook is still useful for grabbing ults like Self Destruct or Bob and dragging them away from the team. Pair him up with a good Mercy and Roadhog can be nearly unkillable.

Why did they make Earthshatter an instant kill? The game really didn't need any more unreactable instant kills. They keep adding more and more of these like they think it makes for a good experience. Jack Trades fucked around with this message at 14:37 on Oct 23, 2022 |

If you're that close to a Rein, on a hero with 250 health or less, and have just been shattered, there is basically no way you were surviving that anyway.

They should add a way to block out the piss-poor broken endorsement system in this game. Kinda annoying to see that i've been demoted every few games only to instantly get promoted back. Usually happens one game before it gives out "rewards".
