It's worse than Widow ever has been in terms of "stuff that clearly doesn't belong in this MOBA-like game". how long ult is, how fast you gain charge, charge to 1-tap, damage falloff, get rid of the hitbox increasing with charge, etc. widow used to 1-tap zen and tracer on the body lol the most surprising thing is they don't seem to be touching sojourn for the next patch

omnics dont have parents/children really, the big Thing in his lore is that he sees omnics as a single-generation species and thus sees the preservation of each life as insanely important since there cant be more

My prediction is that the new hero is Zenyatta's dad and Echo is Zenyatta's mom. We'll find out whose right

The fact that Deathmatch keeps TRACK of assists but doesn't award you anything for them is the most "Blizz devs are the stupidest bastards alive" thing yet editAnd people not prioritizing the person in the lead and letting them pick off stragglers at their leisure... It's like everything bad about 30 years of shooters rolled into one mode for absolute loving morons. Veryslightlymad fucked around with this message at 06:16 on Nov 5, 2022 |

Nutsak posted:New tank is an omnic. Search my posts in this thread, I fukken called it bro But seriously I thought Omnics were created in Omniums, some of which were still active. Also, who qualifies as an omnic? Orisa? Bastion? B.O.B.? Is Snowball an omnic? If Snowball is just a non-omnic digital buddy I don’t know why Mei was so distraught when he drained his battery to buy her time. Surely he can be backed up to a portable drive or an encrypted cloud server…?

If that's not possible, look for the plays that burn important resources so that it can lead to a kill. Each battle in overwatch 2 is on a razor's edge and the first death usually determines the fight, which means individual impact is high. comedyblissoption fucked around with this message at 15:56 on Nov 5, 2022 |

Just understanding the dynamics of a fight will take you a long way: because this is 5v5 and runbacks are punishing, a single pick snowballs and can swing a fight drastically. So generally, be conservative and hyper aware of allies and enemies in your vicinity. 90% of the time, you want to be glued to a tank and healer, all pushing in unison. And especially backing away to a healer or cover if you're at risk. Some heroes are good at peeling off to kill flankers like Genji, others are best off firing from the back lines like Zenyatta. You should basically always be doing something, too. Good Lucios and Symmetras will constantly be shooting projectiles down lanes; regardless of hero, you should generally be using all your abilities on cooldown until you get a feel for how they counter other peoples' abilities. Pick your fights: class-based means there are counters. Most heroes, for example, should not be dumping into an Orisa by themselves. Prioritize killing healers if you can. Be wary of your hero's hard counters and avoid them.

role specific advice to fix the #1 role specific errors: dps: 1. ranged dps (e.g. soldier, hanzo) should default to play angles or high ground that lets them shoot around the enemy tank while still being near enough to support healing or a healthpack -- it's basically impossible to kill a competent tank with cooldowns near a corner but you can kill a squishy 2. flank dps (e.g. tracer, sombra) should time their initiation right when the fight starts so the entire enemy team is not looking at you 3. follow the lead of your dive tank shooting a squishy if possible support: 1. follow the lead of your tank 2. peel for your other support 3. doing something stupid together with your tank is better than letting your tank die since your tank dying means the fight is over anyways tank: 1. don't die with defensive resources (e.g. shield, d.matrix, bubble) being unutilized 2. don't prematurely burn your resources all on inconsequential enemy chip damage that is unlikely to lead to a death on your team and then immediately full commit to a teamfight 3. you're allowed to wait around a corner to get your resources back 4. use shields mostly selfishly to enable yourself to do more damage and to block enemy cooldowns. e.g. if you're rein, use your shield to get close or to a corner to swing at the enemy while shielding between swings; don't hold down your shield during a committed teamfight at full health while doing no damage comedyblissoption fucked around with this message at 16:59 on Nov 5, 2022 |

f#a# posted:What role and character are you maining? comedyblissoption posted:role specific advice to fix the #1 role specific errors: i've been maining reaper in ranked which i'm lead to believe is a flank dps, I think from what you guys say it's really my timing that is insanely loving me over because I can understand the concept of getting around their backs through teleporting but I oftentimes don't take the time to sync up with my team engaging in fights so I just get melted down when I reveal myself. It also doesn't help though that apparently he's one of the fotm 'you have one job and we're going to be investing a lot of resources into you to make you do it' right now so it feels doubly frustrating when I let my team down by being poo poo eheu. another thing tho is that sometimes i feel like i'm being a real big detriment just constantly trying to go for flanks because that represents wide swaths of time where i'm not functionally doing anything just to get in position. I do notice that enemy reapers show up on occasion in the front lines to tango a bit, I don't know if that's generally a case of play it by ear or not. i'll definitely check out that video as well just to see what other fundamentals I can address

if you're dying a lot as Reaper it probably means you're engaging at bad times (leading to you getting focused and none of your damage sticking since your team can't confirm any of your kills) or you're missing a bunch of your shots (so enemies are living too long and you aren't healing off of life leech). reaper's only ability-based damage is his ultimate, unlike many other DPS who have less aim-reliant ways of dealing damage tied to cooldowns, often from a safe distance relative to reaper's effective range. this means you can get pretty easily get chipped and killed if your aim is bad, which I think is why a lot of people primarily see Reaper as a tank-buster since it's generally the simpler of his two duties (tanks deal less damage, especially from range, and have huge hitboxes) unfortunately aim only comes with time aside from a few Lifehacks like reducing your mouse sensitivity. improving your strategy and positioning is simpler but i don't think you're going to get much mileage from just reading very general "stay near cover"-style advice just because maps are so varied, your team comp and the enemy team comp matters a lot, and your character choice will change a lot of things. you would be much better served, say, watching a video of a good player (NOT an OWL player because their positioning is highly choreographed in advance and based on organized team calls) playing your role/character. see where they stand, when they chase, which buttons they use to engage and which they use to retreat, etc..
