Learning how to play a dps is rough. Sorry, unranked teammates. Growing pains. Watching gameplay and coaching videos is definitely helping though.

This game loving sucks still God drat. Uninstalled it again. I've never been better at it and never been more chilled out when I'm playing than I am currently and the game just still stinks on a fundamental level. the game distracts you from just how bad it is with skins and rankings and ratings so you worry about all that poo poo instead of the actual game play, which, again, isn't good. They tricked me for about 35 hours of overwatch 2 but I didn't spend a dime. They purposely deflated the ranks so you spend more time grinding to where you "should" be. It sucks unbelievably bad to kill three people on Zen, get POTG, and still lose the fight because your tank is playing Roadhog into sombra/ana/zen and has showed no interest in swapping off. Even playing it in a five stack just ends with our friends getting ornery with each other. Basically the highs of this game are nowhere near as high as the lows are low.

This is why it "should be" sloppy 12 v 12 TF3 and not FPS DOTA but it isn't, never will be, and wanting it to be will just make you miserable.

I know its weird, but i don't give a gently caress about skins or ratings or whatever except for a chuckle, and I just love the core OW gameplay. I've played it for a competitive match or two most days since launch. I don't get why people get so deep in their feelings about it. It's just a dumb fast paced cartoony thing with a decent level of competition and nuance. headcase fucked around with this message at 19:51 on Nov 3, 2022 |

Isn't what they're complaining about entirely the gameplay? They mention good individual play invalidated by poor teammates match ups, nothing about skins, grinds, and real money transactions? Edit - I mean they mention skins, but only in the sense that they're a distraction from bad gameplay.

There's also an unranked mode with an open queue variant, lol. If you ever get passive aggressively angry at your friends while playing a game, y'all need to just loving chill lmao. It's a game.

Given the lack of shields I don't see why they had to take away Sym regaining ammo from primary firing on them. I feel like that's an interesting and unique thing in the game they just took away and now she's just a ground based laser-Phara with her right click ZZZZ

Gameplay is good, if we're talking mechanics, but imo 5v5 was 100% a mistake for the casual player and does make a game where if you have a single teammate just do whatever the gently caress they want (which is common), or they just have an awful game the match is basically lost and almost always makes your performance pointless even if you had the game of your life. Sure 5v5 is good for OWL, easier to follow I imagine, and in the top ranks (above Diamond) where everyone has good game sense and can play well around their team, uses comms a lot etc it's nice and streamlined but it's still miserable when you know if that one player on your team decides to keep going solo on a flank and dying, or goes widow and doesn't land a single headshot, or decides to play dps moira, or chooses the wrong tank, 9/10 you're not going to win that game. In 6v6 one individual player either having a terrible game or just doing whatever they like didnt always mean the game was lost and as the team size gets bigger in these games individual performances matter less, which I think is ultimately what OW should be about. Essentially I think I'd be having more fun in 6v6. I enjoy OW2 sure but that's because I like the range of heroes, it's varied, mechanically different each time etc so if I get annoyed next game I can jump on a Lucio wall ride and zoom around and that helps keep my mind off the fact my Widow is doing gently caress all, but it still is just papering over the underlining issue I mentioned above. I'm also bitter because I used to love the off-tank roll, and gently caress Blizzard for removing that. And open queue doesnt count, it fucks up the balance even more, 2-2-2 was great.

Or to be less of a thing, as it is pretty much impossible to completely remove all instances of heroes countering other heroes in the game.

It'll be like how brand new players have to unlock heroes now, where there's some kinda missions you gotta do or something. So with next season Kiriko will have some associated tasks to unlock her and whatever new hero will be in the BP, either unlocked immediately for premium or a ways in for free.

Interestingly, I - a good overwatch player - have been grouped in with bronze 5 players. Largely, it's due to losing a dozen competitive matches, which I obviously had no responsibility for.

Part of the upsell of buying the premium BP is just getting the new hero instantly instead of after a few weeks of grinding. It was less apparent currently because most people are returning players who got Kiriko automatically but going forward we all get to either grind or fork up

Thanks for that it gave me the push to say "gently caress it" and just jump in and see what happened. Makes queues longer but that's fine. Anyways I did get grouped with 1 rando but they immediately DCed so I was on my own. It was 12 and a half minutes of nothing before I just kinda shot at some people I found and got instantly gibbed for my audacity. Progress!

the OWL is a lot better with a crowd i love the yells everytime a sojourn hits a random headshot on a healer or enemy sojourn and takes them out before the fight starts on mauga, i don't like the idea of a once per life buff if that ends up happening. it encourages you to suicide after a fight win on some KOTH maps. they could just disable it resetting when you do that (like mystery heroes), but I still don't like it.

Whoa, did they give Bastion a big nerf in the meanwhile? I picked Bastion this morning just to see how he functions now, got right up to a Hanzo and used the shift turret form to focus fire on him at nearly point-blank range. It seemed like I barely did any damage to him while he shot me with impunity. The hell? Is there something I'm missing here or is Bastion just trash now?

it can be pretty challenging to track targets in OW and bastion has an absolutely gigantic hitbox and hanzo has a really good burst dps ability a hanzo near a corner that is tucking back into the corner for every shot also has the advantage on a nearby turreted bastion also maybe he was being healed or some other insane support ability made him invulnerable

Bastion's strength is that you turn into a very slow moving large hitbox with a big glaring Shoot Me Here weakpoint in exchange for being able to do normal amounts of DPS damage

to be fair, it's probably really hard to actually kill a competent turreting bastion compared to other dps heroes in spite of the massive hitbox turret tucks the head hitbox and the 100 armor mitigates tons of damage if you're getting heal pocketed, so it can be difficult for the enemy to finish a kill if you play near a corner ime bastions are the dps players that most hate playing around a corner and prefer flailing stupidly out in the open
