The glow effects on certain things are far more prominent now. Reinhardt's firestrike does a cool red glow as it travels, and Zarya's weapons now glow purple pretty distinctly. It's pretty cool. e: As a proof of concept Lucioball is great, and I hope it's a teaser for some sort of feature like some sort of better custom game creator. It's still better than the previous brawls which were "All one/two heroes, reduced cooldowns" Rush Limbo fucked around with this message at 11:50 on Aug 3, 2016 |

This is an excellent series of what to look for to determine if someone's hacking. Harder in Overwatch due to no spectating of the enemy, but still theoretically applies: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiQkJGc7APA

Zenyatta is a good pick because he is all in one. He heals, does damage and occasionally doubles up as a tank because literally nobody else will advance forward. When Zenyatta is leading the charge because the tanks are too timid then there's something very wrong.

When you're following the business practices of the crack dealer you probably don't have a leg to stand on from an ethical standpoint. I mean, they like to give out free samples too. I guess I'm not really sure why people are batting for the multi-billion dollar conglomerate of Activision Blizzard. They're not your friends, even if Jeff Kaplan likes to pretend he is.

The actual situation was that one of the world's best widowmaker players was getting avoided by people, even in their bracket, and rather than that person thinking "Maybe I should play a less unfun class" or Blizzard thinking "Maybe we should look at this unfun class" they decided to remove a genuinely useful tool from the game.

Or just have a separate queue for all those people who have somehow managed to be avoided by 90% of the playerbase they play with so they can stew in a hell of their own making. The Low-Priority Queue is one of the best things ever introduced into competitive online games and more companies need to steal it.

Kerrrrrrr posted:the avoid system was removed because it would have been an exponentially growing strain on the matchmaker to the point where everyone's queues would get longer and longer, and especially for groups trying to queue. it would eventually lead to 5 minute solo queue and like 10+ minutes for groups. nobody wants that. I'd honestly rather have a 5 minute queue time if it means I can get in a team with people who play the objective, aren't abusive and actually think about things like team comp etc. The system actually worked. Prior to the removal I was very careful to curate the experience I had, preferring players who were good, who communicated well, and actually seemed to understand that Overwatch is not a Team Deathmatch game, and avoided all the people who were abusive, didn't actually play the objective (idgaf if you're new to the game, the concept of 'stand on the point and kill people' isn't a difficult one) and were just generally a bad time to play with. My queues actually did get longer, but it was a much more enjoyable experience as I didn't have to come across people who were making a conscious effort to throw games, or would spout racist poo poo non-stop etc. Then Blizzard took that away and offered absolutely nothing in compensation for removing one of the actual best parts of the game.

Mei has always been able to freeze Torbjorn turrets. She's actually quite a good counter to Molten Core because of this. Example A: https://gfycat.com/FirstUnrulyAzurevase Rush Limbo fucked around with this message at 22:23 on Sep 9, 2016 |

Ana's grenade blocks healing from all sources so yes that is exactly what would happen. Ana throwing her grenade into a graviton surge that Zen is blocking can counter the counter.
