Brannock posted:I mean it was a pretty good OP and all the relevant stuff has been updated It's not bad but no one reads it because it's mostly marketing materials (which is good when it's a hypebuilding prerelease thread, but less so when people start playing it). Then they ask the same dumb questions over and over bc they didn't wade through screenshots of maps to find out what the difference between blue and yellow HP is.

I think the hardest part of this game isn't the hero draft, it's the player draft Like which of the 800 people on my friends list who are going to be playing this game should I group with and how do I do so without hurting other people's feelings This hasn't been a problem before because apparently I've never had more than 5 friends who all liked the same game before

Mr. Neutron posted:Or maybe this type of a drop-in game does not need a leaver penalty for it's unranked mode in the first place. Or maybe it didn't have one earlier in closed beta (it didn't) and maybe that lead to lovely player behavior that ruined a much larger number of games (it did) because any time someone didn't feel like they were steamrolling they could just jump into a new game until they found one that would reward their bad playstyle (they did)

Tequila Sunrise posted:Oh man, I need way more time to consider which character I'll spend $5 on a new Avatar for. This is a big commitment. It does not, sadly. But he is better at jumping around like a retard, which makes it easier to smack people with. (Really though, your bread-and-butter damage comes from throwing ninja stars at people's heads until you can seal the kill.)

FordCQC posted:Can someone give me tips on how to get kills with Genji's ult? I feel like I swing at air way too much and die. Kill supports first, use dash more aggressively than you do outside your ult (it resets on any kill during Dragonblade, so you can use it to initiate on new targets), jump around a lot so you're hard to track, don't spend the whole time swinging at a tank, and try not to spaz out too much.

Also Shadowplay is pretty cool in general, though when I last tried it, it didn't really work if you're running the game in Windowed Borderless. (The workaround is to tell it to capture your entire desktop, but then it'll also record when you alt tab, sound from non-game sources, etc.)

Beyond murdering people with reflect, what's the best way to use Genji? If you can't find any posts in this thread with succinct "stuff to do with Genji" guides then I don't know what to tell you.

gandlethorpe posted:However, I feel like her skillset is a little underdeveloped compared to other heroes. Maybe I underestimate them, but shield and M2 feel underpowered to me. Am I missing something? I get that shield gives a permanent 25 hp, but that's usually like half an attack's worth of damage. And M2 only seems to hit people if you're lucky or they're stupid. It is fun to catch people off guard point blank or rounding a corner, though. M2 goes through shields (like Reinhardt's). Knowing this, do the needful. 25 HP is enough to make targets who die to a single Widowmaker body shot take 2 shots instead, and that is an enormously important difference. When it was a 50 HP shield (in beta), it was so good on low-HP heroes that they had to nerf it. (In case you're unaware, shield HP regenerates when the player is out of combat, so it's not just a one-off 25 HP bonus.) Papercut posted:barely use her M1 (because if I'm that close to an enemy then I hosed up). Her M1 is extremely strong but it is based on sneakiness and momentum. Using it in conjunction with her traps is how you gently caress up tanks who breach choke points.

The more you care about a publicly visible scoreboard the more likely it is that you're the kind of bag of poo poo that made them not want to have one.

Bolivar posted:There are lots of chars in the brawl that I enjoy, including my 300 HP Ifrit Zenyatta. Funny how he suddenly becomes playable when you don't die to a single bodyshot. Good reminder that I'll probably spend a whole lot of my weekend doing the brawl. Especially since it only lasts a week and A LOT of the brawls are utter poo poo. I didn't play closed beta, but I saw a list somewhere and holy crap how it was full of brawls that can't possible be fun for more than an hour. Like "everyone is Genji or Hanzo on Hanamura, enjoy". Like what the gently caress, that's like pub from hell. I can confirm that that brawl sucked.

MacheteZombie posted:Yeah I knew that, was just curious if it could be rotated. You can't; forcing it to be dropped facing you turns out to be a pretty elegant way to ensure that players aren't placing teleporters that face walls or sit on cliffs (except one time when a friend managed to somehow accidentally do this anyway).

TheTofuShop posted:I've heard a couple of the pro players talking on stream about blizzard devs looking at nerfs for McCree and buffs for D.va, I can understand McCree, but I'm having loads of success as D.Va. She doesn't work as well on defense, but she breaks up defenders so well with all her mobility. I guess you could lower the cool down on her E to give her some more tankyness. She sucks but it's not a problem when the people you're playing against aren't good.

Nehru the Damaja posted:I think Genji is honestly less of a counter than people say. It relies on Bastion not being shielded and not being dumb as rocks if we're talking about the reflect. He can peek and hit with left click but several people can do that more effectively Reflect is the counter to bad Bastions and it works great for that; coming in from the side and dashing in for right clicks and melee is the counter to good ones.
