It was very cute. Yeah, almost always after I notice the "i need healing" line from a teammate and top them up with heals, they drop the "thanks" voiceline. It's very wholesome

The thanks is automatic, I think, because I hear myself do it, but don't press it because it's in an awkward spot. I do, however, try to thank people during lulls. I still haven't figured out a good "that was kickass" acknowledgement button. There's the automatic "nice shot" thing, waving feels lame, but I wouldn't mind the characters having some sort of "drum up enthusiasm" button. Maybe limit it between rounds if people spam it too much.

I have a problem with Baptiste where I'll do something that bumps my mouse a micrometer and suddenly my wall shoots to the other side of the firefight, sadly. One time I had an actual flanker over there and it ruled, everyone knew that I didn't plan it.

Scholtz posted:too bad the framework for it is nowhere in the game's code As far as I know, omitting team status on the HUD in PvP is a deliberate decision. I don't understand the reasoning nor agree with the decision either, especially since as a tank you're always in the front and it's sometimes tough to tell what's going on behind you. I like the teammate death warning sound but it's not enough.

The positioning of each support character differs and it sucks to be one of the frontline ones and having to swing around just to check Veryslightlymad posted:I have a problem with Baptiste where I'll do something that bumps my mouse a micrometer and suddenly my wall shoots to the other side of the firefight, sadly. I think it'd be cool to have something where your teammates can "request an ult" and it'll prioritize them if you aim at them. I guess it'd be best for this to just be a feature in premade groups but it'd be cool if, say, a Soldier could request Baptiste's ult, and if you acknowledge it, aim at him, and ult, it'll already be positioned perpendicular to their position.

Kanfy posted:It took me a couple of tries but Hard is definitely beatable with randoms, the ones above that you probably want at least some team cohesion for unless you get very lucky I guess. Also that part of the UI is kinda poorly designed, it should really show that you have x attempts remaining right away instead of just giving the "YOU FAILED" screen, I'm 100% sure a lot of people just slam quit when they see it every time without ever finding out that you can try again. Still a bit mad I got denied a hard win with a team that was super chill and having a good time chatting and clearing poo poo super easily and we die 95% of the way through the witch fight and two people insta slam quit

I quit OW1 before the replay functionality was in, and as someone who generally plays support it's good fun to see how you've ruined someone's BIG PLAY It's the spray beforehand that tops it off Got an "F U ZEN" for that one, which was gratifying.

Hero balance leaks were authentic. https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/overwatch/t/hero-balance-dev-update-28-october-2022/736297 quote:With several weeks in the books, we’ve been so humbled and honored that over 25 million players have answered the call to Overwatch 2.

Finished placements, ended up Gold 5 on tank/damage and Silver 5 on support. I was diamond tank and plat damage/support in OW1, so nothing hugely surprising there. Hopefully I can improve my rank a bit with more play. I am annoyed I had three losses spread across the past couple of weeks thanks to server disconnects that wouldn't let me rejoin, but moreso because of the (ever escalating!) suspensions that are coming with them. I don't know how many of those you get before a season ban, but boy I hope I don't find out!

Countblanc posted:It's very funny how the "I need healing" command has become a shorthand for toxicity, I remember pushing back against the idea that calling for medic in TF2 was annoying (speaking as someone who primarily played medic at the time) since it showed you useful info like the teammate's relative HP and location... but in OW it's just sort of agreed that pressing it is rude and will get you ignored. And honestly I sorta feel the same despite having the opposite opinion in TF2 and im not sure why Rocket League has this too with the "Defending" quickchat, which was probably intended to be used to indicate they're going to sit back a bit so others can go offence, but of course they never mean it that way.

Jack Trades posted:I don't remember if TF2 did that or not but in OW healers get notified automatically when someone is at low HP, so whenever someone actually presses the "Need Healing" button especially if they press it while not at low HP, then they're just actively disrupting my gameplay. If someone is not playing directly in line of sight of the healers they should spam the need heals button whenever they need it. If a support looks around haphazardly and people don't need healing, that can cost like 2 or more well-aimed and centered shots they didn't do + more danger of the tank losing armor from missing some heals. I mean any good support is going to realize players on their team aren't going to ask for heals (the vast majority of games), but it really does cut into the support's effectiveness for them to have to constantly look around. comedyblissoption fucked around with this message at 01:15 on Oct 29, 2022 |

Im typically am an 'i need healing' button hater because i mostly see it being spammed by dead or just respawned and coming out of spawn players but sometimes you get a genji ripping through the other team who pops up back in line of sight, presses it once and then bounces up and down like an excited dog before going back to their business and its adorable

Well I've encountered something that's come the closest to slightly tilting me: A Torbjorn in Deathmatch throwing his turret into the tree ledges in Paris and teabagging every person he killed and spamming "Bingo!". The really annoying thing is he got 2nd.

Does Overwatch 2 have SBMM in unranked? I know it used to (and probably still does) match you against people who were in groups if you were too but I don't know if they match skill too.

yes ow2 should be using sbmm in unranked like in ow1, although i speculate it's probably much more generous on backfills

Had a ~10k dmg/26k healing comp match as a gold 2 Bap in a mostly plat lobby that I lost earlier tonight (4-7 in my current batch of matches  ). That was a very deflating experience, but still a lot of fun. My brother was getting outplayed hard by the other DPS and was tilting the whole match when I told him he had the most deaths and kept feeding; kinda annoying lol. I don't think he belongs in plat lmao.

I was watching Averagejonas playing Doomfist and he seems to have some new move techs, that I wasn't aware of that are actually easy to pull off. 1. Seismic Slam -> cancel it with Power Block early to gain lot more height. 2. Rocket punch-> cancel it with Jump near end for more horizontal distance. You can continue 2. with -> horizontal Seismic Slam for a fast long distance movement. There's al some corner turning tech with Rocket punch involving jump canceling and mouse turning fast, but I can't do that very consistently.

i'm reasonably confident that game companies know that poo poo like league's ping system or "nice shot!" callouts are used to flame, but they probably see them as a low impact lever people can pull to vent frustrations and are fine leaving them as is (given that the alternative is more frequent and direct attacks in chat instead)

spunkshui posted:Trying to climb gold is brutal. Historically gold and plat are the most difficult ranks because there are too many variables for the matchmaking to accurately account for. Does someone have totally cracked-out aim but no game sense? Maybe someone plays at high plat or low diamond level but gets tilted easily and throws games often. Maybe someone has great game sense, but can't aim. There are too many things that can go wrong with players that are somewhat competent. You still have to be good enough to win games, of course; it's just gold and plat where the team factor is completely unpredictable. Once you get to diamond, it gets way more consistent. in OW1, you'd generally see streamers who did unranked to GM runs lose most of their matches in either low plat or high masters. Also, i'd imagine this first season is going to be somewhat of a shitshow with all the bugs and not bugs that are causing players to get ranked lower.

Yeah gold is like "there is an all-aim no-brain widow on the enemy team but your team isn't aware of the concept of cover or sightlines and keep impaling themselves on his crosshairs and tilting when they die"

That was way better than the new artillery form. Orisa had the Bongos, with +50% damage boost for your team. Also way better than Spearnado.
