Jeza posted:I think they are talking about RSI Yeah I figured but I work with a mouse and keyboard for a living and my main hobby outside work is PC gaming and I've never had issues with RSI or anything. Is he gripping the mouse super hard or something? Use a loose grip and don't tense up. Make sure your arms are properly aligned with the desk and you're in a good posture. If anything repeated rapid small movements with your wrist or fingers are more likely to trigger RSI than broad elbow/shoulder-oriented movements, especially since it's much harder to be precise with quick small movements than it is to be precise with a big sweep They teach you to draw from the elbow/shoulder in drawing classes for very similar reasons Soothing Vapors posted:man I had no idea you were such a tremendous dickhead outside of Packerchat, this thread has dropped the scales from my eyes Mocking silly opinions is powerful and good, and this game generates an astonishing amount of silly opinions I think you're misreading my posts though, or else reading too much meanness in them.

I had to report a guy for using hate speech, just now, and I realized that that was the first time I'd seen someone doing that in about 8 hours of gameplay since release. Glad to know that Overwatch is unlikely to end up a toxic community.

The primary fire is MUCH better than the secondary fire Symmetra is very small and difficult to hit if you're jumping around like a spaz. Just have good tracking so you can keep the beam up and it'll quickly ramp up into Death-To-Everyone levels Minrad, thief that he is, regularly gets POTG Symmetra almost solely off primary fire

Opining on maps, YMMV: Very Good: Temple of Anubis, Watchpoint: Gibraltar, Ilios, Nepal Good: King's Row, Hollywood Terrible: Numbani Anubis would be near-perfect if the first point was very slightly easier to defend. You occasionally end up with 8-9 minute defenses on Anubis B and it's a huge slog. Aside from that, both points on Anubis have multiple routes to them, plenty of side alleys to ambush or hide in, plenty of verticality, and don't feel palpably unfair for either team. Gibraltar is just excellently balanced all around. Again with the strong verticality and plenty of vantage points for both teams that are at once easy to access and difficult to defend. My only gripe is that it's super favorable to snipers, and that defending is really annoying at a couple points thanks to sun-blindness. Ilios and Nepal are just big with plenty of ways to get around and behind the enemy, with strong points that give the controlling team an advantage without making it overwhelming. The one exception here is Nepal: Shrine, the point's high ground and the extra long walk to the point (especially through particularly open terrain) makes it kind of snowbally. Numbani is awful, IMO. It's super twisty, with loads of obstacles that block LOS, making it very difficult for long range heroes to do work here on attack. The final corner is a complete slaughter zone since it's so incredibly open yet forces the attackers to approach through two routes that are easily viewed and defended. I've very frequently had 5-6 minutes of utter futility on the final point on Numbani. It being so open means it's very, very difficult to round up all the defender for a final push to win. Playing on defense isn't much fun either since there's few access points and a whole bunch of dead ends so you end up throwing yourself directly against the spearpoint of the attacking push. The rest of the maps are more or less balanced, with a few niggling issues. Lijiang Tower: Garden goes to overtime really often, despite being snowbally for the controlling team. Volskaya has the open area leading to B that becomes a shooting gallery. Dorado just feels off, I'm honestly not sure what I dislike about it, but it doesn't feel satisfying to push or to defend. The maps are probably the best part of Overwatch. More maps please Blizzard.

teagone posted:Where do you rank Volskaya? It's average, like the other maps I didn't specifically mention. Volskaya B is an interesting puzzle to crack open. It's more accessible for attackers than Hanamura B, but defenders get a bigger advantage in the shooting yard leading up to Volskaya B that they don't get in Hanamura B since the yard leading up to the final zone is super blocked off by objects and buildings. My big issue with Volskaya is that one hut immediately overlooking the A point where people love to hide turrets in. Sure, it's easily countered, but it usually ends up forcing a few hero swaps which ends up wasting a precious minute or two.

Zarya is about as simple as they come, point at enemy and hold down button. If you see a rocket coming your way, shield. If you see rocket going comrade's way, shield weakling. If you're wounded duck behind a corner and wait for your shields (both kinds) to regenerate. The laser is deceptively long, you should be using the grenade blast usually only at long range.

The Overwatch character who is incredibly, astonishingly popular in the nation that it represents is, actually, a filthy racist caricature equivalent to the "blackface" portrayals depicted in nineteenth and twentieth century America.

Their ults are almost polar opposites Zarya can rescue teammates Zarya's laser is like 5x the effective range of Roadhog's primary for its optimal damage I guess they both can self-sustain by hiding around a corner and waiting a little bit? Otherwise I really don't see the similarities
