Soothing Vapors posted:My favorite thing about this game is how mad everyone is if you are not an expert, 11 hours after launch I squeezed in an hour before I left for work. That introduced me to some wonderful fellow who had a match long meltdown when I "last-picked" Torbjörn instead of a support hero. I didn't even notice I was last because last means sweet gently caress all when you can switch at any time. I stayed with Tor of course. Spite makes the world go around. This community will be horrible, and god help me I look forward to it.

They did it in Heroes of the Storm. It's not like there's anything useful said in the chat in an online game ever.

The effortpost thread better start with a tier list though.

Thumbtacks posted:Just bought this mostly because of peer pressure, but it looks really solid. I put an unheathy amount of hours into TF2 during release, and this looks surprisingly similar, I'm excited for it. Symmetra is like a Pyro and Engineer combined. Her laser auto-aims like Winston's, and it grows more powerful the longer it stays on target. Mind, she's the most fragile of the Overwatch W+M1 people.

Abu Dave posted:What are you supposed to do in the downtime when you're a turret girl and all our turrets are up? Shoot guys? I thought I saw that you could heal your turrets somehow? I'm not going to say you can't heal your telepad because I have never tried, but I'm pretty sure the turrets have 1 HP. Everything one shots them. McCree's flashbang can probably kill them.

TheTatteredKing posted:So if Dva is totally actually super good you guys no really, how am I supposed to be using her guns? I guess there's some trick to it like getting the one shot kill on all body types with the scrap gun. Because holy gently caress the cannons seem to do Torbjorn turret dps. Dva has auto-shotguns. Don't bother using them anywhere outside of short range. That's kind of the trick I guess. I see alot of pub Dvas shooting across the map and all they achieve is giving away ultimate charge to people killing the tankiest character in the game.

Ularg posted:Also watching people play chicken with their hero choices is the most infuriating thing. At least the chicken game tells you that you're on a team of trickle-in chucklefucks. You adjusts your expectations accordingly and pick a fun-haver hero or leave without repercussions while it's still in staging.

Bolivar posted:Wait, I can leave the game without any repercussions when I'm in the character selection screen and the clock is counting to 0 and re-queue to a different game? If yes, this is great information for whenever I see something like Hanzo-Widow-Hanzo-Genji-Tracer. Or when I want to play an offensive class for a change after some Lucio games, and some idiot picks the same class as I have 5 seconds after I have locked it. I can't find any documentation on the leaver penalty. This is based on my own experience. In beta I was flagged for weeks until I kept to these habits. 1. You can leave during the end of game summary. 2. You can leave during the countdown to the round-start. You must not have left the spawns as a defender. 3. You can leave an in-progress match if you are backfill as long as you do it fast. I don't know if the condition to this one is timing, location or action based, but I did it dozens of times in the beta before I began tolerating the lovely rear end king of the hill mode. Fast is safe.

Ularg posted:Do they let you know when you get flagged? Cause I get a lot of disconnects during the day when my family is awake trying to use the internet. It only tells you when you've dropped out of enough games to trigger the penalty. At that point you get a warning in your chat at the start of each session, and there's a message about the penalty on the endgame screen when you get experience.

It really is an asinine system with no place in an arcade shooter with 10 minute long matches. It's one of those things that tell you what games Blizzard usually make, and what they think of you as the player.

Ularg posted:Does it go away with good behavior? Yes. The way it works is they check your 20 most recent games against an unspecified percentage of incompletion. If you have left too many of those 20 games, the penalty triggers. What this means is that with an occasional incomplete game every now and then, you'll play your way out of the leaver penalty very fast. However, if you dropped out of a bunch of games in a row, you have to play much longer to push that chain of incomplete games through your 20 most recent matches. If you're going to penalize people, this is a pretty reasonable solution. People with bad connections and irregular drop outs will be the least affected. It just would make more sense as a system exclusive to Ranked games where the perceived stakes are higher. Attack on Princess fucked around with this message at 14:42 on May 26, 2016 |

exquisite tea posted:At what point can you safely leave a game without incurring penalties? I've ducked out of some solo QMs when everybody on my team selects Reaper/Widow and doesn't budge, but before you're actually in the match. It seems to be safe to leave before the round starts while in the spawns, when the round ends, and right after hot-joining an in-progress match.

Thor-Stryker posted:D.Va is like the Vanilla WoW Paladin. She runs around with a poo poo-ton of HP but never actually does anything. D.Va's problem is that she's an anti-tank that's worse than McCree and Reaper in every way. She can take any tank 1v1, but her lack of circle-strafe and her center mass critical spot makes it really tricky fighting smaller guys and groups. I think she only shines when you have another tank who plays poorly and you need her to disrupt the other team. D.Va would be more useful if her role was suppression and she had weapons like the Heavy's gun from TF2.

foutre posted:Huh, fair, didn't realize that. I guess I was thinking just 1v1, it's pretty easy to negate his first clip and then just kill him as mech or pilot before he can dps you down, but I can see how that would be a pretty tough time when it's not just the two of you. In my limited experience with D.Va and Roadhog, 1v1s favour D.Va because of Hogs clip size, but it takes so long for you to kill each other off that people usually butt in.

Andrigaar posted:Also, since I just skipped 1400 posts, are we allowed to say loot boxes are poo poo or is that an every page post? Sure. The problem is that the white boxes are garbage. Cut the sprays down to a fraction of what's in the game now and add ten times as many voice lines. Then the poo poo boxes would add something interesting while you wait for a good one. Step 2. Make opponents hear voice lines too. Attack on Princess fucked around with this message at 11:57 on Jun 2, 2016 |

fadam posted:Is it true Riot banned people for saying GGEZ? That sounds like something that could happen. League has a weird ban system. Players vote on reports before Riot makes the call, I think. What he said: Mierenneuker posted:They used to have a Tribunal feature where people could decide whether someone who had been reported several times had to be punished based on chatlogs and some stats from the match they came from. Riot found out that people overwhelmingly punished people who'd say "easy" after a game. It was a similar case for racism and homophobia (an illusive club to be part of!)

Although an escort mission with a car covered in turrets and a Reinhardt defending would be pretty funny. They do. The pubbie outrage to offensive Symmetra gets old fast. An offensive TP is just as good in Overwatch as in TF2.
