As a Sym main, I think she still kinda sucks even with the buff. It's a lot better than before, but It would be nice if they made it so her beam debuffed stacking 1hps incoming reduction per second once it's fully charged, falling off 10 seconds after no beam damage is taken. It just feels like beam damage isn't calculated correctly so often in this game when you have a fully charged beam and still can't kill stuff with perfect or near perfect tracking. The point of the character is you aren't supposed to let her get fully charged, so the design should punish targets who let her do so more stringently. I'd be on board with several DPS characters getting extremely miniscule hps reduction debuffs that stack on some of their abilities as a bit of an anti-tank measure in fights that last way too long as a way to take some of the power away from tanks being overtuned.

comedyblissoption posted:in the first 2 clips spilo pointed out his terrible cooldown usage, healer awareness, positioning, and usage of cover that combined led to him feeding like an idiot two times in a row and he's right comedyblissoption posted:watching back the first clip, spilo had an eternity to get to cover and stabilize the 5v3 after his first mistake to run out into the open with no good cover rotation and almost die I’m not saying he didn’t make big mistakes and fed. I’m thinking on if his team could have won the fight even with that. First case, I think yes, but everyone reacted to Spilo’s mistake poorly (as he said, he baited them, so the fault lies with him). Second case, I think no, but his team being unable to carry him there is due to already starting that fight at a disadvantage. Another way of putting it, I’m thinking in terms of myself playing DPS and Support and winning fights even if my Tank feeds. Proven fucked around with this message at 16:23 on Feb 7, 2023 |

You aren't supposed to duel tanks and charged beam kills them without healing no problem.

There was a new WoW xpac launch, and OW2 launched after OW was stagnant for years straight. The real indicator will be the next period, wherein there are no new xpacs and OW2 has to compete against it's intake from the previous. The next big boost Blizz should get is D4, around the end of Q2.

Jack Trades posted:From Actiblizz investor documents Yeah, all of those are givens. It would be pretty weird if the game that probably was making next to no money for the entirety of 2022 didn't pop off when it got a huge update in October. OW1 was never a big cosmetics seller, it had purchasable lootboxes that weren't a huge draw, so OW2 setting record highs for in-game transactions when they are going strong on the microtransactions (and battle passes) should be another given. I'm saying, watch how well it does Q1 and Q2 2023 comparatively to the launch for the more important metrics.

Lol. I got rewarded for being plat tank.  My actual tank rank was either Gold 2 or 1 last time I played. I'm 100% certain. Maybe it rewards you based on your hidden MMR? Also for some reason my DPS shows higher than my Support. It was other way around last time I played. Also for some reason I am lvl 6 on the new free Battle pass before I start playing? -- Invi'Cree and Flombra are pretty sweet looking:  Other skins are pretty meh. Probably won't get the battle pass this time. Issaries fucked around with this message at 21:20 on Feb 7, 2023 |

Watch People play Overwatch on account you have connected to battle.net account and get stuff. Currently there's a Ashe spray for watching 2 hours and Ashe - Socialite skin (it's from OW1) after claiming the previous reward and watching 4 more hours of streams.

The turrets can be nasty even if you know to shoot them, because your team might not, or they might distract you, plus they slow you, which can itself be a killer if it's in a really nasty area. Widow/Sym team up for maximum toxicity. Didn't she used to get at least six of those things?

verbal enema posted:been playing some Ramattra and having a blast any tips? if you have your ult, you can double-dip on the armor bonus from Nemesis form by triggering it regularly, waiting for it to end or ending it manually, and then triggering your ult. If you trigger your ult while Nemesis is still active, it won't give you a new armor bonus (I'm pretty sure)

That Symm nerf seems fine. She's still great even if she get's occasionally one less ult per match. Her Ult wins teamfights at my elo as long as you place it to split enemy space.

Issaries posted:TANK ROLE PASSIVE Tested this on custom games. Doomfist 450 -> 300 Roadhog 700 -> 550 DVA 650 -> 500 Zarya 475 -> 325 So Blizz just directly reduced max hp by 150 for everyone in any mode that is not a role queue but wait there's a twist:  The Armor and Shield values didn't change at all, so Zarya has only 100 regular hp, rest is shields. Seems like Mystery Heroes and deathmatch is affected as well.

Tank role passives are odd because it's a foray into different queues having different stats which they've avoided in the past, maybe it's to test the waters for a 6v6 comp queue.

socialsecurity posted:Tank role passives are odd because it's a foray into different queues having different stats which they've avoided in the past, maybe it's to test the waters for a 6v6 comp queue. Open queue Meta in OW2 has been 2-3 tanks, 1-2 healers and maybe a single dps as fifth. Having multiple tanks is just plain better than having one. Tanks have also dominated free-for-all deathmatches with few Reapers and Echoes in the mix. I Haven't really played the Team deathmatch, but I assume it has been Goats heavy too.

I don't like it. I always respected how balanced the roles were before. Overwatch was a better game 6v6, and maybe even open queue. Solving goats with hero balance would have been hard but better for the game. Arbitrary exceptions are dumb.

Issaries posted:Weeklies are exactly same as in Season 2. 60 per week, unless you This is dumb. Blizzard should just shamelessly copy what Rocket League does. Make it possible for players to recoup all the credits spent on the pass if they buy it and stoically grind to the final unlock while resisting the urge to buy cosmetics in the shop (a better value proposition as inverted neon tires don't have as much  personality as an OW skin). Player count stays strong year round as many players want to keep the ball rolling and maximize value out of their initial investment. Some won't, but they'll only have themselves to blame and maybe they'll spend again on another pass. Blizzard gets positive word of mouth from YT/Twitch personalities and plenty of whales still succumb to the lure of shop items. Bing bong, so simple.Play 20 games to earn 500 legacy credits. Repeatable 5 times per season. Lose within 15 seconds of backfilling into a QP match? You get 10 premium coins. Queueing for All Roles 50 consecutive times in QP and/or comp earns 50 premium coins. Can only be done twice per season. Queue times potentially improve for tank and DPS, grinders remain engaged with the game, player impressions trend positively. Everyone wins.

The currency that's awarded in the battlepass has a yellow icon, the same color as the premium currency, while actually being the legacy currency that's supposed to have the white icon. What a crazy coinkidink.

What even qualifies as a 'legacy' skin. Because there are definitely skins that came out in OW1 that have the premium currency on them.
