If someone has a big plus next to their name you should always push it. Always.

like i get it yeah woo play with people but i'm still never going to leave a game when i'm in the middle of it???

it says right next to the big plus "IN GAME" so like, wait til i'm done? or send me a whisper? or something? cause you're just gonna get ignored

i'm actually surprised there's no afk or dnd yet for this game


of course most of the time i get invited to a group of goons i don't know who don't use voice comms so it's just like playing with pubbies anyway

for some reason my most average deaths on a character is Reinhardt (9.02). zenyatta is one of my lowest (5.27).

my two favorite characters, junkrat and reinhardt, both have my lowest win percentage (43%)

why am i bad at the characters i love :(

My current Lucio strategy is to only play him on Lijiang Tower: Garden and just pole dance the entire game.

I can never doot people off edges for some reason so I don't bother to try. I see videos of people knocking entire teams off but when I try I'll hit like, one person, and they'll move maybe a foot. :(

i kinda want to try ranked to see if people put more effort into actually communicating, winning the game, etc.

you can't rotate torbjorn's turret either, can you? (please say you can't, if you can and i just haven't noticed all this time i will be shamed forever)

torby's turret has 360 degree vision so it actually doesn't matter which way it's facing

That extra second it takes to turn is kind of a big deal.

i've only accidentally placed a turret backwards once but i remember it being pretty dang quick to turn around, like almost instantly? same for when it turns around to kill a genji that's trying to gank it. definitely not a full second.

i'd have to test it to be sure. backwards turrets all day

one time I deflected a widowmaker's headshot back into her own head

that was a good time


one time a genji deflected my helix rocket back into my face

that was less of a good time

I like lucio's wubwub gun, it looks cool and you can just fire it at headshot height pretty much anywhere you want to and tag some chumps.

The way you move around so much as lucio means the wubs aren't ever going to come at you in a straight line, they'll spread into an arc where you're getting hit by at least one no matter which way you dodge. And a lucio who can lead his targets is a lucio who's gonna get lots of headshots (it's me i can do this quite a lot)

Make the brawl rotate daily, or make it so "brawl" is just a random queue of all of those and it picks a random ruleset to pop you in.

if not daily then the brawl should definitely rotate every 2 or 3 days. a full week is too long imo

Aphrodite posted:

I don't say anything after a win because they know they just got beat easily, and that they're not worth my time to type.

I do send "..." into the chatbox so they know I'm a badass though.

i give every match a - rating at the top and only ever upvote myself, that way everyone knows that i'm cool and also i don't have to play with them again.

Huge fuckoff AOE heals aren't that good, your team needs constant care over time. See: Zenyatta who has the worst support ult

zenyatta ult is a decent counter to hanzo ult and that's probably about it

maybe reaper ult too but i haven't actually pulled that one off

Ah yes the very useful counter to one of the weakest ults in the game.

Imagined posted:

Well I'm not a game designer, obviously. I'm just trying to think of ways to make an offensive, front line healer who can help lead a push from the front instead of follow at the back, to make a more "fun" healer that appeals to people who like to DPS. Maybe a slightly tanky short-range character who pumps out an AOE heal with every hit they land, in proportion to how much damage it does? So it would be somewhere in between the steadiness of Lucio's aura and the raw single-target healing of Mercy.

if you want a fun healer just throw in a chloromancer from rift

wait that's basically the stuff that you said :thumbsup:

Imagined posted:

I was just thinking that a new healer should have a healing ability that's always on that they don't have to think about, ala Lucio, but with some sort of aesthetic that appeals to the Reaper/Hanzo crowd. A true paladin class smells too much like teamwork, anathema to the Lone Wolf xxxbongrips247xxx.

Anyone with better memory than me that can place the name of the point with the description for the control maps? I'm trying to get better at learning which heros work better where, but matchmaking puts me into escort and hybrid 90% of the time. My friend and I do kings row 2-3x a night but he's only seen nepal once since starting last week.

Lijang Tower (nighttime)
- control center - most obvious, the indoor one with the banks of computers
- the one with the building off to the side with the huge courtyard and balconies to either side to watch for flankers night market
- tower in the center with walls and pits around it, reaper central (I die die die here more than anywhere else) garden
Which is garden?

Nepal (ruins & statues)
- the point is a low valley in the ruins, junkrat grenades bouncing god drat everywhere this is actually ilios ruins
- point is indoors on a balcony/ledge, lots of fun for lucio and winston to knock people into the pit sanctum
- point is a small building on a ledge off to the side, great window for pharah to float into, easy to knock people off the back this is actually ilios lighthouse

Ilos (bright buildings, the sea)
- lighthouse - this one has the central well in the point to knock people into this is ilios well
- point is an enclosed building with two open walls in a lower courtyard this is nepal village
- point is a big open central stone gazebo thingy with a central pillar nepal shrine

I guess I could load up custom games to see for myself, but I'm thinking about it while stuck at work today.

i think you got ilios and nepal mixed up a couple times. nepal has snow, ilios just has white buildings and sunshine/ocean.

edit: i'll just bold it in the quote to make it easier to read

I saw a junkrat tyre come at my zarya last night while I was on the point and usually junkrat's blow their load as soon as they see anyone but this one went "NOPE" and jumped over the top of me and kept going haha

Would anyone even use junkrat if they had to deal with splash damage from his own grenades like every other character with AOEs

he does get hurt by his regular grenades, just not the mine. they don't do too much damage, but i have killed myself on stairs a couple times.

Boy does it. I ran in to this the other day. I also used Junkrats puppet emote every time I killed him, even if it caused me to die in the process. After a few kill cams of that infuriating laugh he ragequit. I want to say quit gettin' mad at video games, but please don't because it's hilarious.

i accidentally used the juggle emote after killing a couple of friends i know from smite (the game likes putting me against 6-stacks of my friends when i solo queue, and one of them is an esports commentator at hirez) except there was a turret and junkrat's deadpan face as he juggled and ate several bullets to the face was pretty great

later on hollywood he was widowmaker and i outsniped him with symmetra orbs. he ate the first one to the dome and i was like "surely he will move out of the way of the second one"

he did not

I never play Symmetra. I think I have like 3 games total with her. Played one over lunch and got into a group of good players against another team of good players, and since there was already a Reinhardt and Mercy and no builder I grabbed her. Holy poo poo guys. 27 kills, 47% teleporter uptime. Between Mercy and me there was never really a point that there weren't some of our players on the point. It was crazy.

She was crazy.

symmetra is good

she is pretty much my go-to on route 66 and hollywood defense now. they are perfect maps for her.

i like when the enemy reinhardt and his entourage walk past me, scoffing at a mere symmetra, and then i go over and laser his mercy. and the mcree. and the tracer. and the reaper. why are they all even here. why are they ignoring me. why are they all dead.

oh right. :allears:
