Some folks might think it's splitting hairs, but there isn't a healer role. There's a support role. Support heroes can heal but they do other things too.

Listening to a streamer, someone said (at least on PS4/5) if you open the game it'll start the update process. edit: this is for OW1 owners. There's no pre-load for first time OW2'ers Aexo fucked around with this message at 18:27 on Oct 4, 2022 |

if PC aim feels off, the general consensus is these might be the culprit, set the following: Dynamic render scaling > Off (I force the scaling to 75% personally, it let's me turn everything else way up and still get lots of frames) Controller > Aim smoothing 0% High precision mouse input > re-enable Screen and HUD shake > Off

Sigma rock her spinny thing and catch the spear with his shield. Doom can punch her out of the spin and I think Zarya beam goes through it. She doesn't die because people don't focus her collectively.

Kiriko damage feels so bad without headshots. I suspect you couldn't even down an entire Winston or Zarya bubble before they expire naturally. Maybe the Zarya bubble but you shouldn't be shooting it anyway. Isn't her hps like 70 or something? That's not too bad. She's definitely fun to play if you can get in a situation that baits the team cooldowns and port away right before they get there.

Example of it not reducing the cooldown speed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsSUd1rjunE&t=127s e: This is probably the beta/creator build, so maybe this is a bad example of it on live.

Bust Rodd posted:Hi Folks, played Overwatch a shitload at launch and just realized my accounts merged and I have all my skins. I quit playing when Brigitte was the new hero so i'm def rusty. Messing around in QP before going into comp and wondering what the best Sigma strats & maps are? I'm really loving his slow and methodical playstyle and skill shots, but really dont have a sense of when he is bad or when I'm the wrong tank for the map. Thinking of picking D.Va & Sigma as my mains, and Mercy, Reaper, Hanzo, and Moira as my back ups for when i can't tank. Did Reaper get a huge nerf? I thought for sure he'd be huge in this new meta since there's only one tank, but I barely ever seen him and I have been struggling to get kills as him. Did something change or are the new tanks just way beefier and can't get bodied by pellet spread as hard? Freedo recently did a decent job explaining the "unspoken sub-roles" that various heroes should play. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wByfySzq02M Including Sigma and Hog's roles in 5v5. Just remember Sigma's shield is to catch things (that Kinetic Grasp can't catch or while it's on cooldown), not to be statically located anywhere for too long. Figure out what rock is good against (Hog Vape, Dva Booster, Orisa spin-push, etc), and how to combo it to kill squishies. Scholtz posted:And Tracer doesn't have a double jump!!! I was a Scout main and I hated that Tracer didn't play at all like him when OW initially came out. Man I wish I knew then what I know now about Tracer!

Given the lack of shields I don't see why they had to take away Sym regaining ammo from primary firing on them. I feel like that's an interesting and unique thing in the game they just took away and now she's just a ground based laser-Phara with her right click ZZZZ

I always felt like I wanted my sens to be lower but it was already difficult to do a 180 at the speed I was at. Then I watched Surefour's video on mouse accel and it's so much better now. It's slow enough for close range tracking but still fast enough to turn around when I need to. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dn5yU5rCxuk

Hashy posted:The argument I've always seen against mouse accel (which I used to use in the quake 3 era) has been that it makes large flicks unreliable, and overwatch is a flick heavy game. I've since switched off it. I just can't see being able to do a 180 and have muscle memory for BOTH speed AND distance to accurately place a cursor, but Surefour played McCree and Hanzo so it must be a thing The app Surefour uses to apply accel is tuneable and consistent. You can configure a "dead zone" where up to a certain speed the accel doesn't engage. Remember long/quick flicks are always a first stop in aiming for your next target. There's a smaller "correction" flick that comes after. You can't expect yourself to 180 immediately into a headshot.

I think I figured out why I was extra salty this week... Solo queueing QP and backfilling into losing games. Then losing full games. Even if my full games are 50/50 (and I assure you they are not), backfilling into a loss makes the losses add up, and that doesn't feel good. It's especially frustrating when several of the weeklies require a certain number of wins. When I looked this evening I had two wins out of ten games (and this wasn't even solo queue this time, but feels indicative of my overall experience as of late).

Veryslightlymad posted:I'm reasonably sure that, while you don't win, backfills don't count as a loss. Or maybe it's the case that you have to play a certain amount of matches. I'm not concerned about my stats. I'm frustrated that more of my games end up with a defeat screen than not. This was last night, I wasn't even solo queueing, or backfilling.

Bottom Liner posted:How are those different? Why does it matter? Also those are all >5 mins, not last minute backfills to a defeat screen. It matters in that Blizzard gives me goals (20 wins in genreal, 10 wins each on two roles, etc.) but the hidden MMR seems to consistently match me with players that are better than me/my team and makes me unable to reach those goals in a reasonable amount of time. I get there will be bad days and there will be good days but it doesn't feel like I've had a good day in well over a week. Blizzard talks about designing the game to focus on the positive, but it sure feels like they're consistently throwing me into situations that don't make me feel like I'm having positive experience.

Nothing like losing a match when the other support and I each outheal the enemy supports combined when they have an unpocketed phara and we have two hitscans, one of which is pocketed.

I wouldn't mind the de-rank so much if the matchmaker put me in the same rank lobbies. But if I'm outwardly silver 1 in internally gold 1 lobbies I'm still going 50-50 so the climb is arduous at best.

Don't forget that if you're consistently at the same rank you're actually getting better at the game. It's just you're getting better at the same pace as everyone else. Look up diamond and above gameplay from release of the game and you'll be amazed at how slow and dumb everyone played. Everyone's learning, it's just a matter of how fast you're learning compared to everyone else. That said, the OW2 matchmaker is a joke these days. I'm out DPS'ing the DPS as support pretty consistently and play like poo poo as a DPS hero often.

I'm pretty sure Wrecking Ball has shield over armor and the shield does not take reduced damage until it hits the armor. I believe KarQ had a mythbusters video showing it.
