I want a reverse reaper where killing people drops scooby snacks only your teammates can use.

that's basically torbjorn getting armor for teammates via kills

not really, no. it requires them to be kinda close to him which means you can't ever safely go indoors when a mccree's around because he could be around a corner in the building and flash you

Mei is in a small room. The two of you trade attacks, and you're winning. When she's about to die, she freezes herself. You wait several seconds for her to come out. Once she does, you trade attacks again, and once again you're winning. She puts up an ice wall and runs away. Sorry, you just wasted ~25 seconds trying to kill Mei and still failed, better luck next time!

So you're playing a character that is able to damage her faster than she can freeze/kill you, but is somehow simultaneously not able to kill her when she comes out before she reaches a point in this area where she can icewall to perfectly block you off because you're engaging her in a place that is perfectly suited for her from any angle so it doesn't matter if you circle around her while she's frozen to cut off escape routes?

I'm sure that's relevant >1% of the time, my apologies

I'm getting the feeling that hanzo is a significantly more useful sniper than widowmaker as long as you can hit stuff with him. particularly when you're in a coordinated group because while widowmaker is a completely solo character and you can kind of ignore the team and do your own thing (as long as you're in the right place shooting the right people), hanzo can do stuff like light up enemy snipers or turrets and clear out areas with his dragons and stuff

widowmaker's primary weapon is way, way better than hanzo's. it's hitscan, charges very fast, has multiple shots in a clip with no need to descope after shooting...

hitboxes do have generous vertical extensions even for hitscan weapons but this is probably the killcam desynching for shooter/shootee/replay lag since it's less likely that your head hitbox's vertical extension goes around a corner

That video doesn't demo using a hitscan weapon around a corner (although I've been told there are other videos that do)

No, but it does demo hitscan weapons hitting farther horizontally than the head's model, and so...

At least once in a while, when their head is close to the corner, yes?

I mean, it's not like latency can't play a part, but those hitboxes are enough already.

# ¿ Jun 8, 2016 20:56

LazyMaybe: Aug 18, 2013; oouagh

I didn't say it was an "issue", my point's just that it's possible it could happen regardless of latency.

How does reaper even work? Shotguns can do good damage but only at close range to unarmored targets most of which are squishy already. And how am I supposed to sneak up on anyone with loud "death comes" and stompy boots. How do you accomplish anything with the reaper?

They also do good damage to armored targets, all the damage from one shot counts as one "hit" since it happens all at once, so it only gets reduced by armor once.

It should be noted that Reaper still loving demolishes tanks because he fires quickly and has 8 shots in his "clip," and most tanks just don't have that much armor.

Not as well as McCree, of course. Hopefully this will change

Since Blizzard are just dodging this insane issue it seems unlikely that they'll try to fix this. Will that be enough for us to get a refund?

What? No, of course not.

Broken Cog posted:

The spy in TF2 was awesome, most unique fps class I've ever played. I'm surprised some people here are hostile towards him, what with the amount of bullshit there is in this game.

You've got it backwards, it's not that the spy is too good or anything like that, it's that the spy is a bad class because his entire deal revolves around punishing bad/unaware players, and as soon as the enemy team starts getting even a little bit of cohesion, or especially any communication(or if the enemy players just have a basic amount of game sense and bother to check), he drops off a cliff in usefulness and becomes the worst class in the game.

LazyMaybe: Aug 18, 2013; oouagh

Lady Naga posted:

Seems like we already have the Spy class then

Bastion at least can do some damage without people loving up. Spy relies on the enemy team not having a basic level of understanding of the game they're playing to get picks, because people who are not awful are gonna recognize when someone is acting weird/in a place that doesn't make sense/a duplicate of someone else nearby, and even if they didn't if you're not currently fighting you basically have no reason not to spycheck anyone who isn't shooting(and then spy gets even worse once people start explosive jumping and moving too quickly for the spy to backstab/making spies stand out more, because they aren't doing that/sometimes randomly blowing up spies who are sneaking in nearby)

there's no OW equivalent for the kind of 'situational awareness check' that the spy is, which is good, because making a whole classes kit revolve around that is a great way to make a character which stomps newbies but is borderline worthless against anyone who knows what's up

Broken Cog posted:

Also, anyone who thinks the spy can't be played effectively against organised groups haven't actually watched any Highlander matches. Hell, he even sees some use in 6v6 matches every now and then.

pretty much the best case scenario for spy in highlander is getting a lucky pick and dying in the process. much of the rest of the time he's just harassing with the revolver.

I mean the point of highlander is that it's one of each class, you can't tell me that if teams were allowed to not take a spy that they wouldn't jump at the chance to take another soldier or scout instead

Papercut posted:

Like Zen and Ana are pretty mindless, just heal people who need it and spam the enemy, try to stay far away from enemies. Being really effective with Lucio is WAY more complicated than that.

Ana's got a much higher skill ceiling in aim with her primary compared to Lucio(particularly when people get up in your face or when fighting tracers, genjis), in being able to switch your attention away from aiming at teammates to aiming at enemies when people are topped off, knowing when to use your grenade on enemies to stop healing/shut down pockets vs. when to use it to heal yourself vs. when to use it on teammates for more burst healing, aiming the sleep dart which has travel time+small delay before launching and is your only "escape" option since you have no mobility passive/active, communicating with your teammates about when you're sleeping someone so they don't wake them at a bad time... and then your positioning WRT your teammates is much more complicated because you want to have as many of them in line of sight as possible to shoot and heal, keeping in mind you also want to be able to grenade them situationally with the grenade's heavy arc and small radius(instead of Lucio who just wants to "be near teammates").

No way on earth is Ana less complex to play than Lucio, much less "mindless".
