The actual solution is to make him a dps, like he always should have been.

Jack Trades posted:They said that in one of the OW2 blog posts talking about matchmaking. https://overwatch.blizzard.com/en-us/news/23910161/ they also say immediately before that the only way to rank up is a positive w/l record which is verifiably false w/ clips showing repeated rank ups on negative records. maybe they’re splitting hairs on visible rank vs. hidden mmr, but then i’d expect them to be splitting hairs w/r/t ranking up not taking into account -scoreboard- stats in particular.

headcase posted:My problem with ball is his insane Burst damage. Yes he is impossible to kill, but if he bounces me on ana, I'm already dead. I don't even know what all goes into the combo, I guess Bump, slam, and some headshots. I swear he kills faster than any other tank. Maybe like 6-8 second cooldown on slam would be nice. Yeah been running into totally unkillable balls in unranked. Like they just harass the backline while our tank is off screens away crying about where's the dps where heals etc... I can handle ball well enough on Dva since she can just follow him and kill him but if I'm on support or the rare dps just can't do anything.

ball might be a little overtuned but keep in mind ow2's design philosophy is that [most] tanks are unkillable. if ball wasn't unkillable he'd be useless.

It's not like you can slow him down in any significant way, even with Hungry Vortex or Accretion.

some tanks can peel dive targets really well other tanks can actually cause ball to die if ball doesn't have his overshields cooldown and he gets hit with the tank CC + entire team focus fire the rest of the tanks should just completely ignore him

In my experience a lone Tank can't do much against Ball but any Tank with a Stun ability coupled with an awake DPS player can fairly easily shut the Ball down. Roadhog + Bastion for example is a way to absolutely demolish the Ball every time without him being able to do anything about it.

can rammatra mess up a ball's dive consistently with his 'bring them to the ground' cc? it would be really funny if that was a meta thing

the worse the player is the more likely they are to focus fire the unkillable tank right in front of them making tons of noise and impact the better the player the more likely they are to choose a target intelligently based on context it generally works out

"requires your team to coordinate and the other team to not be helping their tank at all" doesn't seem like it's gonna win evenly-matched games

again the tendency in the vast majority of games is for people to shoot at unkillable tanks this means that the enemy team is generally not following up or paying attention whatsoever to ball's dives until you get to like GM level lol

I found something out today. To unlock a "new" hero (Kiriko, Rammatra, Sojourn, Lifeweaver), a new player has to complete their challenges. The final one of which is "win 35 games as Any Role or <ROLE>". Those wins don't carry over to other heroes. A new player has to win 35 games PER HERO. 140 wins to unlock all four.

Gravitas Shortfall posted:I found something out today. It's 150 games played I think for new non-OW1 players to touch comp. I forget if it's another 50 for that, or 150 games for all heroes on top of another 50 for comp. The point is: why the gently caress do we not have "do this thing in 20 different games". It'd probably be easier, maybe even fun too.

just playing 140 games would be enough, but winning? in Overwatch? a game where half the time it doesn't matter how good you play? jesus. why do new players bother?

As a recently new player, this is actually not that bad at all. You have enough on your plate as a new player learning the basics of positioning and what the hell every hero does to be bummed about not having access to a measly couple new heroes. It's actually a bit of relief, a few less characters to need to worry about learning right away.

I have all of them but Lifeweaver, I have an old account so I think a few got grandfathered in and the rest I just had to do some simple stuff in the Firing Range to unlock them, maybe because I already had the wins required by the time I came around to bother unlocking them?

I actually really like junker queen against ball because her knife in him lets him think he's going to escape and then he gets pulled back in. We did some queen/mei vs ball and that seemed ok but lost when the other team went "lol pharmercy to support ball".

I'm a Junker Stan and legitimately think that if they stop being cowards and give her some form of armour she won't be basically a throw pick against the more traditional tanks. Right now she's kinda good against Winston but so is everyone. Ball she's fine with if she's got some help. Everyone else kinda burns her so you have to be talking and have a team that's willing to work with your 15 second shout cd or whatever it is. Engaging with it is really good. Also if the other team isn't running kiriko (they should, but still), sombra + queen ult literally kills entire teams.

Can we just get rid of armour? It's an opaque and weird mechanic. Just give heroes more white health and find better ways to do what armour does when it actually matters. Let's see, Torb ult can do % max health damage instead of bonus damage against armour. And supports can be incentivized to keep their tanks topped off... somehow I dunno.

Do you want your favorite rapid-fire DPS character to become completely useless against Tanks or do you want them to instakill everything that isn't a Tank then?

the point of armor is to make healing more effective on the armored target. If you take it away you'd have to rebalance so many other numbers on supports and dps it would be a nightmare

Jack Trades posted:Ok. Do you want your favorite rapid-fire DPS character to become completely useless against Tanks or do you want them to instakill everything that isn't a Tank then? Hm? You are probably thinking of the old OW1 style of armour which reduced every instance of damage by a flat amount, like 5 I think. So it would stuff characters who do lots of small instances of damage and be pretty useless against large bursts of damage. The new OW2 armour just reduces all damage by a flat 30%. And I think internally health is tracked with enough precision that roundoff isn't significant.
