i've fixed overwatch, thoughts?



e: So far I really like what you can set on a custom server. Some things you can't adjust yet that I'm sure will come with time, like Reinhardt/Winston/Zarya shields.

i dunno about reaper needing more health, but i'm kinda curious what increased projectile speed on junkrat would actually look like

Nah, right now there's just toggles for all abilities/ults, cooldown toggles, ult charge rate, and then a generic set of healing done/received, damage done/received, health, etc

I assume over time whenever they make some change like, Bastion being able to heal while taking damage, it will become a toggleable option.

It sure is interesting how much settings you can adjust. I wonder what kind of creative mechanics people will come up with to cheat the system in one way or another. Like some kind of auto-play for 24/7.

Interesting that they're continuing to model new spawn locations for the KotH maps. So far they only exist in CTF, but I wonder if the dropship versions will eventually be completely phased out?

i set up a public 2 FAST 2 JUNKRAT game on the PTR if people want to come try it out. it needs a full team I guess to actually start the game. It's Junkrat only with most of those settings the same (it really does not work with his health and health regen so ridiculous). I'll chill there for a little bit

edit: turns out i don't actually know how to only have one specific hero? I tried turning all the rest off but it doesn't work

edit: figured it out!

Should get a council of top 500 players to collaborate and make a mutually agreed-upon "fixed" ruleset for custom games.

Or a goon one. :getin:

Like probably the first thing I'm gonna do is set up a server with just base Overwatch but 1.1 or 1.2x movement speeds but holy poo poo this is exciting.

Can you save setting templates for later use?

Is there a option to add more then 12 players on the new servers? It would be a clusterfuck, but it would be back to the glory days of the LC. Especially if we can turn off the idle kicker.

First server I joined was 6 reins vs 1 mcree and the mcree could one shot them, it was absolutely incredible.

After that though, I've been having a hell of a time getting my custom server filled beyond half before people just give up and leave. The game mode I came up with seems really fun too, 2 soldiers v 6 fast Winstons with low hp (and a bunch of other little tweaks). Oh well, gotta give up for now.

If anybody wants to give soldiers vs apes a shot later, add me at lemonpieman#1484 and hopefully we can get the 8 people we need.

First match I joined in the PTR was 6v6, Bastion vs Reinhardt only on Eichenwalde. Lore accurate and fun as hell, hahaha.

I would not be surprised if most of OW's playerbase have never seen one before, they're not common at all anymore.

The level of customization in the server browser seems really good. Having so much to modify for each hero is good for both backseat balance testing and bizarre gimmick gamemodes with uneven teams.

Someone work out a good 1v6 raidboss mode TiA.

this would be amazing if you could modify the size of the actual player models. Imagine 6 tiny Lucios trying desperately to doot a 100 ft tall Winston off a cliff.

Honestly It's not surprising.

Like looking at a picture of TF2's cast , them all being dudes is such a glaring limitation on character design, and you can kind of tell that they were designed in a vacuum, like I wouldn't be surprised if the idea to make someone a woman even ever came up.

Actually now I think I sort of remember reading that the medic was supposed to be a girl and then in testing nobody picked her until they changed her model but left her mechanically alone.

Meanwhile, Overwatch has easily the most diverse cast in gaming (outside of a fighting game franchise like Neo-Geo or something) and I always kind of smile when I see my team and it's like d.Va/Mercy/Ana/Tracer/Zarya/Pharah. Girl Power!

Also TF2 is like super muddy & brown, the first thing every single person who see Overwatch says is "Wow this game is so bright & colorful".

I mean, yeah diversity is cool, but it's a stretch to credit that with OW being bigger than TF2 given TF2 is a decade old and has been pretty mismanaged.

It seems like Overwatch has had a much broader and larger fandom talking about it outside the game, but that might just be because of social media
