Shields were not a big issue in the last year, and not even meta at any tier. I don't really play any DPS characters though. The tank battle is what is interesting about OW.

Yeah there are definitely different cohorts that want to play the game differently. It seems like most people just have a fantasy about logging in as a sniper and dominating the enemy team solo.

I've only been playing QP so far this season, and it's funny looking at my game history seeing all gray defeats for one session and then all green victories for the next. Is this balance? Lol. None of those matches ever felt close in either direction too.

If you think only playing QP is going to help you dodge the broken matchmaking, I got news for you It's even worse in QP. It just matters less.

Back to arcade matches and playing whatever the gently caress then I guess.

it's definitely super weird -- when I was fighting my way out of plat support you could almost guarantee that if a team was doing poorly on a sniper map, one of their DPS would switch to widow and immediately start rolling off headshots. extremely did not feel like something your standard plat would be able to casually pull off

I liked the very early OW1 quickplay days of the Anubis map where you could litter the side rooms with Symmetra turrets then lure people to chase you in to their doom. Cracking that final point on offense was hard as hell but felt great when you did it.

a widow switch can work out because people get conditioned to play a certain way and then 1) dont realize the hero swap 2) dont respect sniper sightlines or effective range even more than usual due to the conditioning for some reason people really like taking unforced widow duels where they have an ~0% chance to kill the widow but the widow has a chance to kill them also qp is going to be more steamrolly than ranked b/c people leave when the team loses 1 or more team fights

It is a very different game chain-hsing people who move predictably, over-expose and generally give you many unforced shots and easier line-ups, than it is to try and chain-HS in a GM game.

I do think appropriate crouch spamming and turning your back to people that can headshot is an instant SR gain, but it is so annoying gameplay-wise in terms of having a chill time and just playing the game as designed. Also A-D strafing in the optimal way. Good players are so much harder to predict. It is an skill underrated by lower SR players.

My thought is that at least on consoles there's really generous aim assist for Widows, because, I only play the character in skirmishes and death matches but even with some pretty awful aim I'm still able to get some picks, definitely feels like my shot is corrected.

Her ult can barely kill squishies and even that only if there's no move speed boosts on the team, and no mobility skills. It's fine.

It just looks like a change very specifically aimed at Reinhardt, or at least one in which he is probably gonna be most affected. Orissa is already a good pick against rien, ignoring his shield with her ult tips the scales even harder.

Rein simply existing basically made his whole team immune to Orisa's ult, so I can understand that change.

It's really bizarre that they're buffing ana like that mid-season, and in between seasons she just got a 1 second sleep dart CD reduction.

Was there any meaningful development on the requiring a non burner phone number thing to play? Did it turn out to be a good idea or did it fizzle out somehow after it got too much criticism?
