This also might be a console thing but to me sym turrets exist to make an opponent have to turn around and aim at an awkward angle so my team shoots them in the back. I otherwise just use them as a means of doing chip damage to flankers. The carwash and kill thing is cool and good fun but I get a lot less utility out of it overall.

Try to position yourself so genji isn't able to take isolated 1v1 duels against you or your teammates which tend to favor genji a lot and let him easily get away.

I'm on PC and it works out about the same for Symmetra turrets because enemies can snap shot them in a second. Putting them near health packs to catch already weakened enemies or on flank routes to notify when they're being used ends up getting more mileage as a result. I've tried the turrets against Genji because on paper the non-deflectable damage and slow is perfect but in practice it doesn't work. comedyblissoption posted:Try to position yourself so genji isn't able to take isolated 1v1 duels against you or your teammates which tend to favor genji a lot and let him easily get away. No poo poo. I'm asking for advice dealing with Genjis that win 1v2 or 1v3 duels and assuming that I'm going to have to be the one to counter-pick because what are the supports going to do, go Brigitte? Maybe they should but it never happens.

If a genji is winning 1v3s then they are highly technically skilled and there's probably not a ton you can do. However, as someone who can't aim for poo poo, I've had good results from pharah, junkrat, and moira.

junkrat concussion mines is the least aim intensive way to do damage to genji to force him to retreat and works through deflect a lot of genji's ability to evade enemy shots is people don't try to predict his movements and low sensitivities make it really hard to aim at him when he's close to you if you think "he's going to double jump he's going to double jump" when he double jumps you're going to start hitting him way faster instead of have sloth reactions

as good as 'drop your sensitivity' is as advice for a lot of people starting out, it 100% became a meme and it's absolutely possible to have your sensitivity so low that you simply are unable to fight if it requires regularly doing 180s if genji and tracer are in the meta and your sensitivity doesn't let you reasonably comfortably do 180s, you're at a significant disadvantage

The bigger the mousepad you have the more you can lower your sensitivity.

I used to think that way and I think it applies to tacfps but not to other fps games for games like ow, you should set your sensitivity as fast as possible while you still have long range precise flicking and tracking. if i graphed precision for myself, I only gain a few % of accuracy drastically lowering sensitivity from 25 cm/360 to like 70 cm/360. precision starts dropping off a cliff at faster than 25 cm/360. even though a lower sensitivity makes the target bigger on your mousepad, it also proportionally moves the target that much farther away on your mousepad. even though the margin for error for tracking is wider, you have to move your hand a lot faster to keep up. It's actually harder to aim up close or react to counter-strafes (due to inertia physics of your arm/wrist) the lower your sensitivity is. your movement is worse and sluggish. you have less awareness and clear less corners because it's such a chore to look around. you reset your mouse way more. you have to use more arm (slower, less precise) to aim than your wrists/fingers.

A lot of people take csgo's cm/360 as gospel ignoring it's a pretty unique game that revolves around tiny headshot hitboxes, controlling recoil and minimal tracking requirements compared to other games. But at the end of the day just do what is comfortable for you, all of you are old, improving your aim by 5% isn't worth loving up your wrists. I'm on the slightly larger end. Think it's around 50. But i come from a cs background and I like my cm/360 to be the same across all games I play and I play a pretty varied list of FPS games, so it needs to be comfortable in overwatch, arena shooters and tactical shooters.

I would use different sensitivities in different games it takes like a few seconds max to get used to a different practical sensitivity once you're accustomed to switching. aiming in fps games is extremely a hand-eye coordination thing it does take a while to get used to a practical fast or slow sens if you've not used it before or in a while though

Stuff like flicking is a lot of muscle memory though. And I just cannot be arsed to sit in training for 10-20 minutes before every session to re-aquire it. I was happy to do this when I was 17, I'm now pushing 40. My chances of getting to the world cup are well past.

Did Baptiste's healing orbs have a larger area at some point? Because I've landed shots right next to people and nothing happens. They should just change it to a direct line instead of having an arc if the area of effect is so small. drat good healer, though.

I don't remember if the area was nerfed, but year or 2 ago they reduced his splash healing from it and increased the direct hit healing. It was on the same time they reduced Immortality fields effectiveness by reducing the HP limit from 25% -> 10% left.

I thought this was a nice Spilo video on how stats can be just another thing hiding the issue with your play. https://youtu.be/eD_D9hi1X5w My first reaction was “man, it feels like if he screws up on Tank, that’s it, fight over. Tank mistakes might be worth double.” After sitting on it for a minute, his examples are cases where he screwed up a play or made a bad decision, but the cascade (except in perhaps one case) was additionally because his teammates died first, made their own crucial bad decision, or couldn’t make a play either. I wonder what will happen next season with role-based matchmaking. I know people are still going to say “tank diff” or some other role diff, but I wonder if it’ll effect the frequency at all. If they add this and people still feel like the game snowballs too hard still…

Proven posted:I thought this was a nice Spilo video on how stats can be just another thing hiding the issue with your play. Honestly, I have a feeling very little will change. The game is most likely going to be permanently clown shoes when it comes to matchmaking for probably 75%+ of players. On top of any number of problems with the system itself not working, mixing players from different tiers into one game to lower queue times, SR and MMR being different, etc etc, many fundamental pieces of the game just don't click for most of the people playing (even in ranks up to plat and dia), and probably never will. There's too much genre confusion, and 5v5 is really starting to show how terrible it is now that the fresh coat of paint put on years of stagnant game is starting to wear. When you think about it, the game can no longer feel "balanced", because a lot of the original design was done with any hero in any role being roughly balanced against every other hero in every other role (with some having specific counters to others of course). Now that tanks have been overtuned to fit 5v5, literally the entire game is out of whack. Sure, that's a direction you can take the game, but they didn't change enough to make it work. When literally everything in the game from maps, to ability numbers, to character move rates, etc for 6+ years is tuned around that kind of balance, you can't expect it to work out all that well unless you rebuild the entire game from scratch. I'm probably not going to buy the next season's pass and uninstall the game for a while. It's gotten progressively worse over the last few months when you'd think people would adapt and learn how to go with the tide of changes moving from OW1 to OW2, but ultimately have not.

ow2 is better than post-sigma ow1 b/c double shield doesn't exist. release ow1 was the best state because there was only one shield character and the most healing output you could do was mercy beam for w/e reason blizz wanted to lean hard into role trinity and this is what they chose to solve stacking shields  Jimbot posted:Did Baptiste's healing orbs have a larger area at some point?

I wonder if there's a good one or two word callout for a healer not focusing attention on supporting the main tank b/c they're trying to make a play elsewhere

comedyblissoption posted:I would use different sensitivities in different games This is wild to me. I've been using the same sense in every game, which is "faster than cs players" but still "slow as poo poo" and it's my preferred way. Gravitas Shortfall posted:Non supports: "Supports can't just be healbots, they have to also do damage and make plays" Imo, the big problem with this is that your "playmaking" with characters like Ana or Bap should really be a couple abilities in the right spot and then you should get right back to healbotting so your team can keep pressure. Most players don't really know the difference. I've had people complain i'm not pushing up when i'm stood directly next to an ana while i'm at 50hp and they're "making plays" (shooting the enemy tank). Its just blindness on part of the people complaining and the healers, but nobody cares to look, or watch a replay. Genji v Torb chat You're actually the best counter, if you're on defence, put your turret out of the enemy teams LOS but covering your supports, genji will absolutely have to deal with it first, which gives everyone else time. Even at masters+ this fucks up genji's because they can be pressured while dealing with the turret. The other thing is that you don't have to hard commit to the genji fight. Go poke him and if he uses his dash/reflect on you to stay in, then you're free to pop your overcharge/E and kill him for it. Even better if your turret respawns during this time. If he's winning and he hasn't popped abilities, again, pop your overcharge and just leave. You're faster than him, you have armour and ideally you're doing this near enough to your team (which you should be, you're playing protector here) that you can escape to heals. Finally, if he's literally just murdering everyone over and over again, just shrug, do your best and go next. Sometimes people are just better, time to practice.

Slower sens is mostly just a thing because default sense for games is always ridiculously high, they assume you're using a 15 inch mousepad or w/e. You should go lower, just not as low as pro's, mostly because you're not a pro. They can get away with it in even overwatch because they position well enough for it.
