ya my first game was hard as gently caress and we all came to the same conclusion

on the one hand, no newbie dunking, otoh, it's probably better for the game

but I'm sad that I'll never get to like, play a bastion and feel useful.

yeah i dont have a source or anything i was just playing with some dota casters & esports people and they claimed thats how it was and i assume they would know these things (?)

i think the competitive pick rankings paint a pretty good picture of what the strongest picks are. most of the top half of the board are just generally strong heroes. most of the bottom half heroes in terms of picks are situational with a few being just bad.

none of this really matters because the majority of people playing this game probably are not long time fps players, though the majority of the heroes require little to no aiming and mostly just require you position yourself correctly, and you can pick mei or whatever and totally wreck people.

in the context of disorganized games i would say dva tends to be higher impact than winston, generally people that pick the monkey just jump in and feed.

Level 25. Loot so far has been the trashiest garbage imaginable, with 0 skins and 2 epics that ended up being a couple terrible emotes for Soldier 76 and Zarya, who I never play. I've only made around 350 currency.

I hit level 26. Finally, a legendary! What could it be?! Oh. It's a skin for Winston, my least favorite character in the entire game by a wide margin. Cool.

voltron lion force posted:

What was different with Dva in closed beta? Someone said she was actually good back then

nothing, and shes never been picked more than winston based on that tournament hero usage chart. winston's jump cd going from 8 > 6 made him shoot up patch over patch in terms of pick rate because he can go in and out so much easier and logically since dva doesn't do anything different really if winston is good why would you want dva?

Radical
Apr 6, 2011

dva being really weak is intentional because of her lore as a korean gamer, shes throwing on purpose because the match is fixed.

Radical

yeah all the games ive played with goon stacks recently have been hard but when we played in the beta weekends we rolled a lot of games. makes sense since rank didn't reset but lots of people i like to play with aren't all willing to play tactically so the games are kinda slogs. usually i have more fun playing solo or with 1-2 people since the games feel pretty fair.

i think all the consoles can just do that now with their sharing features, so on the pc it is only to separate the strong from the weak

cant you just leave the game before you lose and not get a loss on your profile? do the kda stats even go on your record if you do that?

Radical
Apr 6, 2011

that being said it is super weird that you can view the profile of people in the game without a scoreboard at all. i didnt see any way to do it from the tab screen though, i think they have to click on your name in chat? if so even more reason not to talk to the pubs.

So what was Titan? For starters, according to three people I spoke with, it would have taken place on a near-future version of Earth, in a science-fiction depiction of the world where mankind has successfully fought off an alien invasion. Players would join one of three factions waging a cold war over control of the planet, and zones planned for the game ranged from the west coast of the United States to Europe, South America, and Australia, according to a source. Blizzard’s plan was to make the game world huge, and to keep adding areas with expansions in the years after launch.

[...]

Players would be able to select from classes with names like Reaper, Jumper, Titan, Ranger, and Juggernaut, each of which had its own special combat abilities and items, according to a source. Jumpers, for example, would be agile scouts with a teleport ability and the ability to quickly leap in and out of combat. Titans were tanks, while Rangers were snipers with cloaking and other abilities (think Nova from StarCraft II and the ill-fated StarCraft Ghost).

sounds like they just took out a bunch of the extra bullshit and shipped the fun part of the game

Symmetra definitely is bottom of the barrel tier. I've tried the tips people gave but it still doesn't do anything against people with eyes and below average reflex. Her turrets can give you an indication where people are coming from, but it's hardly any consolation for the damage they do, how long they last and how long it takes for them to refresh. Her ultimate is limited use on top of the fact that you don't build it up while you have a transporter up which is really bad design choice. Her E is busywork, simple as that. Useless to boot. Her only saving grace is her alt fire but if I wanted to spam my alt fire down a causeway I'd play Widowmaker and shot-shot everyone with hitscan rather than a slow moving orb.

I tried, guys, I really did. You may score some kills, your transporter does some good and I've had a few POTG but that was due to the fact that the team I played with were phenomenal and when you have that kind of team any hero you play as would shine. She really needs a new kit, something that's worth a support role and not a mishmash of ideas that are no good.

shes pretty much a gimmick hero and her gimmick is snowballing point A on def
