I always felt like I wanted my sens to be lower but it was already difficult to do a 180 at the speed I was at.

Then I watched Surefour's video on mouse accel and it's so much better now. It's slow enough for close range tracking but still fast enough to turn around when I need to.

I've been using this for a couple of years and it is good. Definitely not necessary and 100% a matter of personal preference, but it pretty much works as advertised: you have the ability to make larger turns while also retaining precision for small movements.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
How bad was the tank in the last match when I joined the last minute and had like 4 total kills with D.VA that I got three endorsements

Also I never really got Zarya despite a lot of practice before on OW1 (still don’t hit the grenades enough and always mistimed my bubbles) but she is so OP now that she is my go to tank when I am not getting much healing or on maps where you move something.

The argument I've always seen against mouse accel (which I used to use in the quake 3 era) has been that it makes large flicks unreliable, and overwatch is a flick heavy game. I've since switched off it. I just can't see being able to do a 180 and have muscle memory for BOTH speed AND distance to accurately place a cursor, but Surefour played McCree and Hanzo so it must be a thing

Man, I am so burnt out on trying Bride of Junkenstein legendary. I've done all of the other challenges, but this one aint working with pubbies so far.

The app Surefour uses to apply accel is tuneable and consistent. You can configure a "dead zone" where up to a certain speed the accel doesn't engage.

Remember long/quick flicks are always a first stop in aiming for your next target. There's a smaller "correction" flick that comes after. You can't expect yourself to 180 immediately into a headshot.

As a tracer player I have a theory her head hit box is the size of torb

I have hundreds of hours of tracer in OW1 so dying to a random headshot from a hanzo who wasn’t even aiming for me doesn’t even make me feel anything anymore, that’s the way she goes sometimes

But man, it feels like it happens a lot in OW2

It's because her head hitbox is bigger than her head, but that + the increased OW2 projectile sizes leads to absolutely ridiculous screenshots like the one you're quoting. See that mercy screenshot i posted a while back.

Does saving highlights just not work at all as a feature in OW2? Got a sick 1 v 5 500% to 0% team wipe on Sym I want to save, but the button is greyed.

edit: figured it out, you have to back all the way to the title screen for the game to not count as "queueing for a match"

It's pretty crazy that Sojourn hasn't been nerfed. Watching good Soj players makes her look like Soldier and Widow all in one champ with better mobility than either AND a huge area denial on low cooldown. Just bonkers. They should at least nerf her charge rate out of ult to 1/2 or less.

Yeah it would be fine if the rail gun was not a OHK, but a finisher, or if the machine gun did a lot less damage with more falloff and the slower charge time that comes with that. I definitely think that a fully charged headshot should not kill a 200hp player.

They should make the railgun charge much more slowly, and change her ult. I don't see the railgun thing ever working as an ult. it's too good

Did they keep the railgun width buff from beta? Because that was a very unnecessary buff imo. It was fine when you had to aim it.

Sojourn does require you to actually click on a head to get max value so gold players do struggle. And i feel like they particularly struggle with her ult because it's much harder to use than the usual "press Q to win" Riptires and Death Blossoms

but also everything else about her kit is great. Escapability, utility, small hitbox, etc.

her grenade also does silly damage and it can be hard to tell you're in the middle of it sometimes. Sojourn's great

Numbers are such a dumbfuck tonedeaf way to try and balance something, though. If there was a hero so strong that it was literally picked 100% of games, the winrate would be below 50%, because every match ever would include exactly 1 win and 1 loss, + the draw variation.

If you just looked at numbers, Moira, the hero who puts out the highest total numbers in the game would need a nerf.

They should just nerf her anyway, she's going to suck below masters regardless, it would only affect the high rank games, which is where she's dominating.

I have a feeling widow is going to make a comeback once they rework her. Blizzard didn't learn their lesson with widow when they did sojourn: a anoerixic model with a one shot kill mechanic, insane mobility, AND an infinitely better E ability than widow AND a better ult than widow's, what the hell was blizzard thinking? The last thing this game needed was widow on steroids.

in this game you can play as a gorilla with a lightning gun and thats pretty cool. i also like the guy with a giant axe, and the guy who skates around like shadow the hedgehog. doomfist is awesome too but i cant play him worth a drat and people scream at you in QP if you take him

I've not had anyone scream at me in quick play yet, but I wouldn't touch voice chat if you paid me. One time I got into a conversation with the other team's tank where I said something like "Today I learned: Doomfist can't stun Roadhog out of his ult"* and he went "Today I learned: it's possible to win with Doomfist" and then he friended me. So it says something about how garbage a character is when other people befriend you for winning a single match with them. I'm pretty sure my win rate with the guy is 40% or so..... It's... Less than good, I know that much.

*(He might be able to with his block having given him a bit more oomph. I am bad with the block. His block is new and confounding to me and I miss my uppercut.)

my experience with league has taught me that, if someone picks something extremely off-meta, there's a reasonable chance of them actually having a clue what they're doing even if it seems like the most troll poo poo imaginable

can't speak much for ranked but, at least in QP, every doomfist who's showed up on my team has been a loving monster
