GET INTO DA CHOPPA posted:Are there any EU goons itt? I've been queuing with my girlfriend and a friend, and they are hovering around 2500+, while I just got to 2800. It would be cool to team up with more nerds, or just have someone to queue with at times where I would usually solo queue.

Snazzy Frocks posted:Would the game be less fun if hitboxes were limited to character models for every attack in the game?? Yeah, because it would be a complete mess netcode-wise. You need a bit of fuzziness on the hitbox to account for normal latency fluctuations. I am fairly sure no game has ever locked hotboxes to playermodels for this reason.

I dunno, it does need a bit of lee way but there should be hard stops when the enemy isnt even on your screen. I know as genji and rein ive nailed people that werent even visible on my screen. Its silly. Especially with the reflect and how damaging that can be.

Also while high end play on any given character may require a lot of practice on that character, really good mechanical skill and game awareness is going to transcend character choice. Work on your awareness and mechanical skill if you want to rank up.

Got it. you don't have to get good at everything but picking out 2 heroes from each category and becoming proficient with them helps you slot yourself into any team. you can just pick your favorites out of each category, tho obviously some heroes are better than others and if you decide to be that guy that slam picks symmetra or torbjorn, people are gonna whine about it in chat. it's inevitable like if you decide to become the best you can at rein and zarya, you'll guarantee your team always has at least 1 of the tanks that can actually help keep them alive. getting good at lucio helps a lot since most people avoid him even tho he's probably been consistently the best hero in the game since release and I honestly can't even imagine a scenario where he doesn't help with the game as it is

Ravenfood posted:Yeah, I need to figure out how to be better at McCree, Ana, Lucio,, and Rein because I'm already comfortable with Zarya, Pharah, and Zen, but sometimes those aren't really the most useful based on either comp, the map, or they've already been picked. I'd been playing a ton of Hog at the start, too, but he fell off for me for some reason, whereas something just clicked with Pharah and she got added to my regular rotation. Rein is probably the biggest outlier in terms of how bad I am with him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ie5446fSvcY

For some reason it mostly feels okay to me when Rein earthshatters a player out of the air and yet feels intuitively wrong when he does it to a flying D.Va bomb.

Except its a solved problem completely and Valve even has implementation details documented and available to the public. You dont see people bitching about McCree headshots not registering. Blizzard has the netcode down. What really needs work is consistency and documentation about how a lot of the skills work in the game. Showing the hitboxes for the heroes would also help.

My dearest thanks to everyone who leaves the Reinhardt slot open for me, as him and Symmetra tend to be my useful roles on a team. It just so happens they also depend the least on quick reflexes... I also love running into other Reins who aren't aware that his charge and his slash both go through other Reins' shields. Time to learn the hard way, suckers!

verbal enema posted:Getting good at Mcree is my mission rn I just switched from a 30 hz monitor to 144 hz and that, combined w/ the Skyline aim video linked above, have already made such a big difference in my aim. I also really like McCree for learning. You get punished so badly if you waste a cooldown or position badly that it makes me play a lot more thoughtfully than normal. Especially opposed to my old standby of Roadhog.

Has anyone gotten a Lucio POTG? I have no idea if it's even possible. Boop two people off a cliff? Nope. Save team from two simultaneous ults with sound barrier? Nope. Like what more can I do? Boop the whole enemy team to death?

One time I booped four people off of the map right as a Zarya ult ended and still didn't get it  Right around release any environment kills seemed to earn POTG. It seems like they are constantly tweaking it, which isn't really a bad thing, but you see trends.

Thoughtless posted:Has anyone gotten a Lucio POTG? Soundbarrier has never actually triggered a PoTG for me, no matter how much damage I soak with it. Boops are the way to go for getting a PoTG though. Each one is worth like 2-3 kills so if you get a couple at once you're almost guaranteed to get it. I have literally never seen it outside that.

I'm confused. I went 4-5-1 and got placed 2289. It isn't just by wins? If anyone is on PS4 and wants to play a bunch of quick-play games with me and a buddy, add Wristcrack. Trying to get him closer to level 25.

Those are his competitive points, not his SR. Also, your placement SR is not t just based on wins. It seems to be heavily influenced by your previous season's rank, win/loss, and personal performance.
