ItBurns posted:Someone did this for BF4 and it was roughly a logarithmic curve where people got better as they leveled but then kind of petered out at a certain point. You have some bias because people who are awful and/or don't enjoy the game will quit, but more or less skill is correlated with level, just not linearly. I'll try to find the graphic. That'd be interesting but yeah that's what I'd expect is that it drops off after a certain level where you've learned pretty much everything there is to know mechanics/knowledge wise, and it just comes down if you personally have got better with movement+aiming, and just sort of free-for-all.

Not going to lie, this weeks brawl has dramatically modified and refined my S76 game, to the point where I’ll prefer him more often than not if there’s an empty offense slot. There was talk about learning characters upthread, and between last week’s random respawn and the hundred health granddads this week, brawl seems to be focused on teaching people to play defensively instead of corpse cannoning until they win or run out the clock.

I can't wait for the all tracer koth brawl where the game starts in overtime the second the point unlocks so we can all learn the magic of stalling the clock by throwing ourselves into the fire

I don't really like playing S76, but I'm never displeased to see one on my team. If someone picks 76 I immediately feel much better about our composition unless it was the final slot and we have no healers/tanks, but even then I like seeing him more than any of the other offense/defense alternatives (and more than Symmetra/DVa). It's just so nice having a moderately beefy and sustainable guy who's going to be on the front lines.

Can you headshot with every gun, also is there any locational damage besides "head" and "not the head"

If you want to know if a certain character/ability can headshot, check this site: http://owinfinity.com/en/ Also no it's just "head" and "not head"

The general rule is that if it's a projectile that either: explodes or passes through multiple targets, it doesn't headshot. Beams also can't headshot, so this entirely excludes Pharah, Junkrat, Reinhardt, Zarya, Winston, and Symmetra from requiring that sort of precision. Probably the most notable non-headshot attack I can think of is McCree's Fan the Hammer, despite it being hitscan - if you're using it go for the center of mass. It's probably the only hitscan weapon that just can't crit.

I left town for a few days and when I came back, my mouse (Logitech G602) stutters a bit in game. So as I swing around to aim it jumps or slightly freezes for a split second at random intervals. I noticed no issues whatsoever roughly 5-6 days ago. It's incredibly frustrating, and I seem to only notice it when playing Overwatch. Has anyone else run in to this issue after a recent update? Edit: It stutters both in the UI and during a match.

Can someone explain roadhog's hook for me, because I'm pretty sure it makes no sense. Most recently, I hooked someone at fairly close range and it pulled them completely behind me. Why for the love of god would that happen. I also get a lot of instances where people get pulled to my extreme left or right, sometimes in midair. I'm pretty sure it's meant to bring them right into your reticle in front of your face, because that's what happens most of the time and the stun really doesn't last long enough to re-asses your aim. It is really infuriating and there is no way to tell when its going to work correctly and when it isn't, and when it doesnt work right its impossible to know exactly how it's going to gently caress up.

Magic Underwear posted:Can someone explain roadhog's hook for me When an enemy roadhog is hooking you it works through walls, around corners and across the map at crazy distances and you'll have ~1% chance to escape. But when you try and play roadhog, hooked people will have the secret abilities to get stuck on geometry, only get reeled in half way or to the side or behind you, or they'll mysteriously tank the shotgun melee combo despite being a squishy. Enjoy your roadhog adventures friend!

You can generally tell if you'll get a odd hook because they'll be at a high angle or you're being speed-boosted by Lucio or your moving through the air via jump/fall. Playing the corners also gives you a higher chance of getting them caught on it. As a reminder for fledgling Roadhogs, the hook is an instant-hitscan effect, so don't lead your targets.

On PS4, I had committed myself to playing at least an hour of every character to make sure I got a feel for them. I have now amended that not to include Genji, who may be payable with a controller, but sure as poo poo not by me.

There's just something about him that has not and likely never will "click" like Pharah, S76, or Mei has. He's much easier to play on defense, and actually not a liability at all in that situation. He's made to punish lone flankers, in which (if it's not a flanking Roadhog for some reason?) he basically always wins. Inversely his lack of ability to really defend himself after he's spent his specials and his issues of reloading mean that he'll usually actually want to stick close to his own team. At midrange you basically have to act as a sniper with primary fire, just with a bit less distance between you and your target. Close-range encounters are all about fanning the hammer and his specials. You just have to get good at using those tools; his tactics are simple, and his execution is somewhat tough, beyond the usual flanker gank. He's kind of like a Mei that can't build walls/recover quickly and deletes people way faster, and that really is why having good team backup's important with McCree. He's pretty disparate from all the other offense heroes, can't fire as wildly as 76 can, nor does he have the approach/mobility advantage of Pharah.

How badly would it mess things up if they made it so DVa couldn't be headshotted while in her mech? It seems like a nice unique way to increase her survivability and it makes thematic sense. They could maybe reduce her total health a bit to compensate if it was too powerful.

Would work differently at long range if so. However, you do want to lead targets.

I don't think this would break too much, but it's hard to say without testing. I'm definitely tired of watching my massive HP/armor pool melt away in a split second when playing D.Va just because someone panic fired into center mass and hit my glowing weak point for massive damage.
