Bottom Liner posted:lol my queue was down to 4,000 and then jumped to 20,000 Yeah, I think the servers crapped out or something. I was in and playing, got an error and it kicked me back into and infinite 20,000 queue. In other news, I was very bad at OW1 and plan on continuing to be very bad in OW2.

Anyone have any tips or advice for someone who loves how Ashe plays but is just not very good with her? I have a grand time playing her, she's one of my favorite few characters in the game. But my damage numbers always seem so low compared to other people playing her. I don't know if I should just be shooting more and hoping for the best, or shooting LESS and trying to be the sniper I will never actually be, or what.

Can someone please explain the Eliminations, Assists, and Final Blows to me? At first I thought that Eliminations were final hits and Assists were kills that you participated in but didn't land the last hit on. But Eliminations and Final Blows can be different numbers so I guess that's not it?

I really hope they add a way to disable or limit the voice lines for when your team becomes outnumbered. Like, yeah. It's a good reminder to be careful when you're down a body and the enemy isn't. But I don't need to hear one every. drat. Time.

Bottom Liner posted:Turning on the ping for when an enemy or ally dies is very important and way more distinct, and doesn’t require watching the kill feed. I agree with you, but I'm not sure what this has to do with my point. Which is that the "we're outnumbered" voice lines are annoying for how often they play.

Bottom Liner posted:Yup, and Hog with a shield to play behind and 2 heals is basically unkillable. This is probably not a popular opinion, but I kind of feel like that if tanks need to be raid bosses for role queue, they should probably be limited to one in other modes too. Open queue and a bunch of the non-No Limits arcade modes. I was in a Total Mayhem the other day that was locked in perpetual overtime for ten or more minutes. Both sides had two tanks and two healers locked on the point. I don't know if it actually ended, I got bored and left.

leftist heap posted:It sucks to be locked out of a character if you just play casually. I will probably just suck it up and buy the battlepasses with new characters since there's almost no way I'm getting through the BP to that point. It does suck, and I'm not at all happy that they chose this monetization scheme. However, I don't think it's nearly as big of a deal as some posters in this thread are acting like it is. Not having Kiriko will slightly limit picks and counterpicks, sure. But she's not so powerful or such a generalist that a player is crippled without her. It's an annoyance, but that's all it is. An annoyance. If someone can't handle that tiny limitation, they're free to pony up the  and solve it instantly.Bottom Liner posted:Are the devs going to be forced to put a new hero in every battle pass? Because I do not think they will be able to do that in any reasonable way that doesn't make the game crumble. I thought they said it would be every other, but I can't confirm that offhand.

Father Wendigo posted:Isn't match XP a trickle compared to Daily/Weekly challenges? It really depends. If you're only logging in to do your challenges and not much else, then that's going to be the majority of your XP yeah. However, if you're playing a lot just for fun like I am, the trickle XP really does add up. I just hit pass level 65 and while I obviously don't have exact numbers I think that the match XP has been a fair amount of that. (Disclaimer: I'm not saying everyone can or should play like I do. I have too much free time and I know it. I'm just explaining how the XP has worked in my situation.)

lostleaf posted:What are your guys perception of the toxicity of the player base now that 2 has been out? I drifted off about 3 years ago after a few bad runs of toxic players. I just remember that it wasn't worth the aggravation. It was league of legends bad. Migrated to Apex and kind of forgot about overwatch completely until the last few weeks. I've had a few rude people, but I am very aggressive about muting anyone who gets nasty. So I haven't seen more than a line or two of salt at a time, and not frequently. I have ONCE seen the Blizzard auto-filter kick in and change something into a comment about needing to call their mom or such. I also don't use voice chat at all, I'm a woman and no amount of phone number locking in the world will make that worth my time.

What are your preferred arcade modes, if I may ask? I've been trying to get some in, but the queues have just been intolerable most of the time. I know they're never going to be as fast as QP, but they just don't seem to pop at all a lot of the time.

Genji didn't become a cyborg until OverWatch saved him courtesy of Mercy. And even then, I think story-wise he was in Black watch before OverWatch. Yeah, I didn't think he was a cyborg before that. But you're probably right, I don't follow the lore that closely.

Jezza of OZPOS posted:So dva zarya genji and sombra are all gonna get nerfed apparently? I dont love playing into either dps right now as a support main but im probably more interested in the tank nerfs. I never played either of them before ow2 but they feel super good right now compared to every other tank so i think its fair. Id like some kind of hammond buff but i can live without it. Hes still perfectly playable in bronze 3 and actually feels less countered by sombra at this rank than he was in 1 The most recent article I've seen said they aren't planning any major buffs or nerfs currently except for Zarya in Total Mayhem. That said yeah Sombra and Genji are both annoying as hell right now.

Hashy posted:The fact that dailies have no value beyond the 3 you'll naturally get by playing a couple of rounds (and so no reason to chase them) and weeklies beyond the gimmes are worth 10-20 cents of the real money currency is a design fuckup I don't think people have grokked just yet. They're boring, boring, boring. They can afford to give out much, much more premium currency and make the battlepass cash only or something I agree. I do the three dailies for the battlepass XP, and whatever weeklies I happen to get done playing modes I enjoy. At that rate of reward, if there's something I want that badly someday I'll just loving buy it.

Maybe it's because I don't play comp or maybe it's just luck, but I've seen only a small amount of such toxicity. Certainly not none, there have been some diffs in chat and three or four absolute ragers. But honestly a lot less than I have expected. Mostly I've just seen a ton of terrible, awful account names that merited reporting. I don't doubt it exists, I suppose I've just been fortunate to not see most of it.
