ApplesandOranges posted:Would it be a bad thing if they buffed Winston's damage? Right now it takes him at least 4 seconds to kill any character that isn't Tracer at full health. And he just doesn't do very much without his ult if the opponent has an Ana. There's also factoring in his reload time, which is pretty dangerous for him. since his Jump will likely be on cooldown. Assuming no healing, that's 3.33s to kill a 200 health target. 2s if you perfect melee (30 damage) and leap (50 damage). That's really deadly against squishies for a character with such high mobility and survivability. The only way you should buff winston damage is maybe make him ignore armor since he gets owned so hard by it (50% damage reduction). Other ways to buff winston would be his survivability by reverting his shield health nerf or improving his leap cooldowns.

Also don't buff junkrat ult. Buff his normal kit so he doesn't suck so much against players that can reaction dodge all his shots in his current incarnation.

What are you supposed to even do as junkrat on open ground against some ranged dps at medium range? They can reaction dodge everything you shoot except sticky bomb. The optimal strategy seems to be to hide and/or find a way to get close.

a medical mystery posted:bounce some of your nades off the floor, it tends to make them a bit faster if you have the right angle ime They should buff junkrat by allowing him to grenade jump decently w/ his regular grenades. He should at least be able to compete w/ 76. Right now it's kind of pitiful how little of a boost you get. comedyblissoption fucked around with this message at 16:18 on Jan 14, 2017 |

Idiot Doom Spiral posted:Supports were a mistake, anything below the baseline threat that Ana or Lucio present is entirely too weak to be in a shooter (and even Lucio should hurt more). The game is a decent shooter, mostly made worse by the idea of mandatory healing roles. Support should be mostly shooting with some clutch ult and the occasional save. Like Zarya. Murder murder murder muder bubble murder murder murder bubble. moira is a strong 1v1 duelist and you can go 'reddit moira' on any isolated squishy people like to bring up the halcyon tf2 days but for those unaware in games where people tried to win there was a required healer role more 1dimensional and unpopular than in ow comedyblissoption fucked around with this message at 08:13 on May 2, 2022 |

megane posted:Another fun thing I remember was when Ashe came out, a lot of people were annoyed that we got a DPS character when they'd been clamoring for more tanks and supports. So the devs said "no, don't worry, we're going to add a ton of tanks and supports, this is just like a parting gift to the DPS since they won't get anything for a few years

I mained support and placed gm like all seasons i solo queued and ana was basically a god and being lucio was extremely hard to kill og lucio was way way way worse. When they tightened his aura they massively bumped the damage and projectile speed so that lucio could take duels and reddit on squishies

Honestly all the supports had pretty strong survivability except like zen high in the ladder People dont like picking them bc most of the chars are under dps and ppl want to shootymans They shouldve added zen style shootymans to heal

Jeff made a comment that people will pick the characters in dive in their plat games but that doesnt mean they were playing dive The same was true in almost all gm games The closest it really got to a support having no survivability was picking zen or playing a no escape support vs crazy doom rollout 1 tricks

Sombra and genji werent deleting supports unless that support was zen or the stars aligned to dive the same target Ladder games were weighted to make peeling easier than diving Support chars are really powerful and survivable. Youre just wrong. What it boils down to is people prefer not to be a heal slut comedyblissoption fucked around with this message at 11:58 on May 2, 2022 |

maybe if it helps visualization, ana with her tinyass hitbox and 100 hp self heal inside a lucio healing aura is a really steep cliff for a solo flanking genji or sombra

torb's turret is probably decent against genji/tracer flanks torb's biggest sin is his design is kind of boring they should make torb support but change his dps bro ability into some spammable support ability

a consequence of the zero-inertia movement is that they had to make the hitboxes gigantic and invisible to compensate for how difficult it is to aim at ad strafing lol

you can have a fun time on voice and make good important callouts, but you need a thick skin for the inevitable toxicity. this will apply to any competitive multiplayer game in existence never focus on your teammate's bad plays, because you cannot meaningfully control it and everyone makes bad plays including yourself. reasons never to tell a teammate how to play their character:
reasons never to tell a teammate to change characters:
however there are some safe team callouts you can make that is asking people to change their behavior you won't be flamed for:

oh yah also if you ask people to save ults, peel, regroup, whatever and people don't do it never get mad or flame anyone hope that's obvious this is easy to do if you lower your expectations to at least theyre trying to play the game and not throwing. anything cool or synergistic or good that happens is a happy accident

I would personally like to see symmetra portals behave like Portal portals but only for her and her right click/turrets and then balance her around that but

doubling the projectile speed to much faster than pharah rockets is a huge change and it might take a while to shake out how the balance chips fall I suspect ground pharah might be severely underrated b/c it requires a lot of precision people haven't bothered to get good with to land ground rockets

it looks like theyre trying to make symmetra more flexible at range with the tradeoff of losing point blank burst maybe they have to amp up some other part of her kit to get the balance right, but 25 -> 50 proj speed dramatically changes the number of scenarios where you can trivially react to the orb to dodge it

max health buffs can make it really hard to balance the game b/c characters were initially carefully designed with specific health pools and defensive abilities (e.g. tracer/genji), so giving them this on a cooldown has potential for Dumb Stuff

if you click past season top 500 dps leaderboards and assume the missing spots are because they were banned by automated cheat detection, the situation has been dire for years it's like 10-20% banned every season of those that were able to do enough games with a leveled enough account to place at the end of the season

i will say the one thing overwatch does better than basically all other popular fps games right now except counter-strike is it has a replay system most cheaters are absolutely terrible at hiding that they are cheating or don't care to hide it and their gameplay falls apart immediately upon scrutiny in a replay for example, the only reason the #2 guy on cod: vanguard was caught blatantly walling was because he streamed himself cheating and his cheating or streaming software glitched https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AhBBZn9bjs if the game had a replay system, his gameplay probably falls apart as fast as it does in that ow youtube video
