BrianBoitano posted:Couple questions: Purple 3 is your endorsement level on a scale of 1-5. Can change based on how many people endorse you after each match. The B69 is your level/border from OW1, which is just based XP gained by playing (with bonuses for being grouped and maybe winning, forget), not your comp ranking. Every time you leveled up you got a loot box. This explains what those portraits mean: https://levvvel.com/overwatch-level-borders-portraits/. Since you're bronze and don't have any additional stars below the portrait, that means you were level 69. Nice. No idea if you continue gaining those levels in OW2.

I know they never said they were going to do a balance pass but I was still hoping for one. Makes me less inclined to play comp with the way it is now. Please we need nerfs!

Is it normal for this game to like exclusively run on your video card? I have like 1-5% CPU utilization but the game still runs perfect. 12700k and 3080ti if it matters

Am I missing something, or is Sigma just an immortal death balloon who does nothing interesting in Bride's Revenge? The new story mode feels very underwhelming compared to any of the three Archives missions from the previous title.

Should probably lower Zarya's beam damage by 75%, if I'm honest. I even say this as a Zarya player. At some point it isn't about shield cooldowns, power gained from them or their duration, it's just about the massive boost in damage at 50+ power.

At some point it isn't about shield cooldowns, power gained from them or their duration, it's just about the massive boost in damage at 50+ power. Pretty much all tanks put out similar damage, though. If you lowered Zarya's damage by even 10%, she would probably be unplayable. Even doom, the worst tank in the game can punch most other heroes in the game who aren't tanks or 250 hpers into a wall, shoot a few times and instantly delete them. Zarya isn't even really THAT busted; it's just a combination of other things right now that make her a strong pick. Dive meta always works well with shields, and her main buff going from 2 tanks > 1 tank was giving her shield charges, so you could double up on them if need be. Also, people are bad and tend to shoot the bubbles more than they should. There are certain times where you should shoot a bubble to pressure/overwhelm if you coordinate with your team, but when there are a bunch of slobbering idiots who either haven't played the game in many years or are brand new continually shooting bubbled targets for no reason, of course Zarya is going to get powered up more often.

Zarya is also in pretty much every t500 players most played, so its not just "people who suck shoot at her bubbles". She is legitimately ridiculously strong. Just walk past the other tank and melt their main heals and you win like 90% of your fights. What's the other tank/support gonna do, CC you? lol

Yeah i'm regularly beating both my DPS in damage as Zen by doing nothing but firing volleys at corners and tanks (While my team screams that i'm not healing them while the orb is literally loving attached to them) Zarya is even easier to do more damage than dps because she actually gets to just trade damage. It's actually how she's supposed to work, dps can't do that, they'll just die. ------------------ On a separate note, me and a friend went into the training mode last night to see why the game felt like it was hitting us round corners. Projectile sizes right now are loving gigantic. Go play as mercy and fire at the tracer model with your gun, see how far away you can aim from her head and still get a headshot. Same with hanzo arrow, mei right click, soldier rockets, etc. Everything has an invisible forcefield around it and if it touches you, you get hit, even if the projectile was clearly going to miss the model. https://imgur.com/a/igFdkCz Default imgur link because i can never remember how to get timg to work. dogstile fucked around with this message at 11:49 on Oct 26, 2022 |

Vermain posted:my guess is that they're more quickly realizing that the secret to consistently winning games is murdering the enemy backline, and so tank has much less perceived carry value That's why I've been playing flank-Baptiste, recently. I just go into the enemy back line to terrorize their support. I'll heal up our tank/DPS if they're where they should be (also in the back line terrorizing enemy support). But more often than not, my tank & DPS are trying to stay as far away from the enemy as possible, while crying for heals and yelling at me for killing everyone on the enemy team by myself instead of healing. It's funny when they get mad at me and say "stay stuck in x elo forever" when I have my profile open and they could see that I have an 80% win rate with Bap if they bothered to look. The reality is tanks are almost impossible to kill if both support are alive and hard pocketing them. But once you knock out the support pillars, the rest of the team should crumble like tissue paper

OK, so, Bastion unsupported is pretty bad now that his healing has been taken away. If he doesn't have a team to play with he's insta dead. Bastion with even minimal healing from behind a decent tank is going to just make QP unplayable.

His ult (when it isn't bugged) is one of the worst in the game, and he is nearly useless when he isn't in his turret mode. The bouncy bomb thing is a little interesting, maybe if it had a better CD he could be cool.

Bastion as it is now is comically a lot like Sojourn without the full dash. You wait for an opportune moment, walk onto a flank or use your grenade to quickly obtain high ground, and you try to get a quick pick with his turret mode before falling back to safety. You can’t go as far as Soldier or Sojourn to flank, but you’re better against Tanks so you don’t need to always flank. His primary also has similar fall-off to Soldier’s with less recoil, so if you get even a little high ground you can plink away at backline and force some cooldowns/attention if it’s too dangerous or not possible to burn down the tank (i.e. all the tanks can eat your burst long enough to get back to cover if they save their resources specifically for you, which can then get you punished since you’re slowed while in turret mode).

My main experience with New Bastion and his place in the meta is that I now have something to be afraid of/react quickly to as Reinhardt, Orisa, or Zarya.

Overwatch, science-driven organization that they are, have evolved their armaments such that now every gun fires Hanzo arrows.

As I'm getting into higher ranks and logging more hours on the game its becoming more and more obvious that there are some balance issues with the roles. Tanks just have too much damage mitigation and supports put out too much damage for the amount they can heal. I get that they kinda have to do that to make the game accessible so its not just a deathmatch every time, but it can be downright unfun to see abilities and good plays by folks negated by just massive hit point pools or in some cases, just completely deleting damage done. I'm hoping they do another balance pass with the re addition of torb and bastion, but I'm not thinking so. Bastion is just..kinda there. One thing is for sure though is that Open Queue is straight up calvinball when it comes to strategy. Its just tanks tanks and also perhaps another tank. Essentially over 1000 total hp balls slamming in to each other again and again. Which can be fun, for sure, but calling it competitive is a stretch. The main reason i play comp over quick is because I like to actually play all of a map. Is there a game mode that has roles, is unranked, but also has the competitive format for rounds?

Junker Queen is weak but a lot of fun. Tuning down commanding shout was the right move, but maybe they could massively increase her self-heals from wounds? right now they're barely noticeable and I'd like for there to be a rhythm to comboing your abilities to wound as many people as possible
