I like how the game sometimes swaps players between two teams in consecutive matches.

I really like this game, but the way it deals with headshots and lag seems to be trashy.

Would you rather shoot through players and miss?

How do you chat to all instead of team? P kissy brings up a weird menu.

Text chat? Tab switches between channels. "Match" is for all 12 players.

The more I see people using winrate as a measure of success in casual play the more I want to play Symetra to launch you tryhards off cliffs.

Confused - I have 25ms ping, 50ms RTT, yet I continuously have the Lightning Bolt network performance indicator on screen. Nothing else seems to be complaining, just Overwatch, so I'm a little bemused.

I think it's packet loss, you may have good ping but some exchange is being lost.

Funny how you join a game in progress and lose like a minute later it counts as a loss.

That's because win rate in QP doesn't matter.
I was even dropped right onto defeat screen a few times. Literally not even character selection.

So Widowmaker having a silent ult is on purpose, right?

It's not silent, you can hear a French phrase, it's not too loud though. I don't remember the phrase

D.va's buff can't come too soon. It's bullshit that she's the only one on her team that can die from her ult, it takes FAR too long to go off, and D'va's entirely useless until it goes off - if she has LoS to her meka, she's basically gonna die to her own ult.

You're supposed to charge it so you have enough time to emote for a pretty highlight

I've seen people suggest you turn on player health when playing Zarya. Where is that menu? Also, is there a stat that tracks you number of POTG?

Options > Controls > select Zarya instead of 'All Heroes', section 'Hero' has option 'Allied health bars'

I always thought Reaper is cool, and his legendaries are good (especially El Blanco). I'm 27!

You mean the purple lucio? :confused: There are terrible skins like cybergoth zarya and those pharah legendaries, lucio's hockey skins aren't that disgustingly bad.

Can't you just kill tracer with a single headshot after you stun?

All Pharah legendaries are good.

I did that in a game after someone from that team whined about my hero choice in the last 20 seconds of the previous match I was dropped into. I couldn't find particularly disruptive locations for this fuckery but I tried.

MO ranks don't mean much, they update account data on demand which means many players aren't in the database or aren't up to date, it's a nice alternative to battle.net own stats sheet and you can only get that much from it

Shy

Hey guys Overwatch uses some kind of third-party voice communication library, if I remember correctly the game directory has one dll named after it, anybody has any idea what I'm talking about or can look for weirdly named dlls in the directory? Thanks.

Did they make any significant changes to netcode this year? Last time I played over a year ago, the game is practically unplayable now, I'm constantly backtracked, what the gently caress happened? My connection is mediocre but e.g. Destiny works flawlessly on both EU and NA.
