I only played for about an hour after the game released as Symmetra, Mercy, Zenyatta, and Winston. Had a great time, but then i watched Seagull play until I had to go to bed because I am a responsible adult. I knew that if I was actually playing, I would have stayed up much later than i wanted to.

I never actually noticed, but does the Symmetra ball damage Rein's shield as it passes through? I've never bothered to pay attention when I'm playing her/him.

The thing that infuriates me most about this game are Hanzo arrows. I love getting hit by arrows before the firing animation finishes, and i love getting hit in the head by arrows that didn't actually hit my head. I swear to god there's inherent aim assist on them. No I'm not playing on console.

Lag?

Also yeah animations are weird. I play a lot of roadhog but I always get killed when I'm against one because his animations don't telegraph the same to the enemies as to the player.

No lag. My latency is consistently under 20 ms everytime I play. Don't get wrong, I love the game, but Hanzo is just so rage-inducing for me.

so basically nobody can actually hide behind their ult when hackusations are going around because it's very obvious when it's being used and when it isn't

Widow can because you can barely hear the drat callout unless you're basically right next to her. <:mad:>

Apparently a new update hit and it made the AFK detection even stricter to the point where people are getting kicked for playing bastion :laffo:

I really hate the inactivity detection. Sometimes i like to get up and use the washroom and a new match starts and i get kicked from the group I'm in. Or i like to get up and grab a drink between rounds.

I guess the solution is to get a jug to piss in and then drink my piss or just leave all groups and games if i want to step away for a literal minute.

Its like nothing compared to the head hitboxes allowing for hanzo/widow to pick you off as you round a corner. Or McCree/Roadhog CCing then blowing you up.

I was watching Star's stream yesterday and he got headshot by a widow while he was completely behind a wall in the killcam. He was next to the corner but still behind it. The widow couldn't actually see any part of his character model.

I'm hoping some goons who played with me from this particular game sees this, but i was in this goon discord pickup game within the last 2 or 3 days:

I was in a pickup game with you guys and we played against this insanely good/coordinated team that absolute destroyed us. Probably the best team i've played against yet. Their tracer had to be, by far, the best tracer i've played against, and he was absolutely wrecking our poo poo (i think someone in our group found out he was ranked like #100 for tracer).

After the 1st map, a couple of you guys pleaded with me to leave the lobby as a group so we wouldn't play them again, and i almost complied, but another goon in our group shouted 'don't you dare quit against this team' and i sheepishly let the group stay in the game expecting to get embarrassed again.

I believe the next map we played was Lijiang Tower (i think), and i suggested doing the double monkey strategy and we actually won! The other team rage quit, and before the tracer guy quit himself, he told us that his teammates were incredibly pissed off for losing to us. Best feeling in the world :) Hats off to the guy that wouldn't let me quit the lobby.

I thought about that a couple times today, and wish someone had recorded that.

Sigh.

Edit: I'm MFister#1576 if that jogs anyone's memories.

I ran into your goon group with another goon group this past weekend. You destroyed is every match, and i think we played 3-4. We asked in chat if you were goons and someone made the stairs joke.

Bought a new mouse with adjustable dpi this weekend and got to play around with it yesterday. Trying out 800 with 7 in-game sensitivity. I will have to get used to this and stuck for a bit, so i guess I'm going to be playing a lot of mercy and soldier to get used to things. I don't even want to attempt genji.

I trust you already know this but for any lurkers it's as good an excuse as any to repost this recommendation from another goon:


In windows, disable "enhanced pointer precision" (aka mouse acceleration) and set the slider in the middle, on the 6th pip. This ensures your actual mouse movements are translated 'raw' and aren't subject to acceleration or weird scaling issues

Thanks. I actually did not know this, and have now changed it. Even for regular computer use for me, the midpoint and 800 dpi are way too much. Haven't had a chance to play around in game yet.
