Jack Trades posted:I wish Team Fortress 2 wasn't poo poo. I used to love playing it until it went downhill (more like, off the cliff) around the Mann-conomy update. It's still badass and the people whoare like "waaah I can't even tell what class people are with all these weird hats!! I died to a weapon with 20% extra reload speed and 10% extra damage, I'm so confused" need to Grow Up and understand the will of the gamer.

Jack B Nimble posted:Can anyone who played in the beta speak to what it's like being the sole tank if you were previously the off tank? Say, RoadHog and Wrecking Ball? Roadhog is still bleh just like he was in OW1, but now he has a billion HP now and isn't an ult battery for the other team due to the tank passive. But just like OW1 he'll pick apart uncoordinated pub teams because he still 1 shots people and it's way easier to hit hooks with fewer shields ruining your fun. Ball is strong, there's some good videos of Yeatle playing him on YouTube. I think the biggest mental hurdle tanks* will need to get over in OW2 is that there's an expectation that everyone, including supports, have more agency/responsibility for their own survival now. It's totally fine as Ball to just get completely behind the enemy to grab some health packs then head back to the fight sometimes, you don't need to babysit your team. It's not "there's only 1 tank now so that tank MUST play defensive to protect their backline", it's "tanks as they were are largely gone with exception of 1-2 characters and your choice of tank determines how you approach the game" *other roles will also have to get over this mental hurdle, particularly supports, and not freak out when the tanks they're used to suddenly aren't just playing as mobile shield dispensers.

I sorta feel the opposite, I really didn't enjoy OW past the first few months due to how ubiquitous ults and shields were, and this did a lot to address both. It's a lot more fun for me than OW1 was.

i've had a lot more success as Winston but I also never played D.Va before so i'm sure i just lack the muscle memory. the few times I've played her in OW2 my boosters seem to be on charge for 1-2 seconds still anytime I try to use them, and her inability to deal damage while using her mitigation tool is a real Bad Feel for this gamer, especially compared to the ease and versatility of the dome shield

He's strong but he's also cursed with the thing where none of his abilities do damage, just his guns, so if your aim is off you just suck and die. No homing sticky grenade or remote bomb or aoe dot+slow field or whatever to tack on damage, just shotgun

grieving for Gandalf posted:it's harder to be a bitch in this game when everyone can see everyone else's stats Had one guy in the beta piss and moan about how our healers were never healing until he eventually said "lol look 2k healing done for each". I looked at the scoreboard and they each had 2k damage and 12k+ healing. I pointed this out and his response was that it FELT like 2k healing!! The freaks find a way to be freaks

i mentioned this during the beta but i like how they made everyone a little more psycho in their various kill/assist/etc lines. though hearing Lucio be like "wow i just loving blasted your brains all over the pavement lmao" when he gets a headshot elim and then during round start he'll say "boy i love my friends in Overwatch, created by blizzard entertainment " and it sorta kills it. let them be psychos, i dont need to hear the characters fawning over each other for 30 seconds before every match

its so funny watching people say things like "go main healer" in chat when the game is 3 days old and presumably a lot of people don't knwo which healers are "main healers" because the game sure doesnt tell you

comedyblissoption posted:to be fair, i think having at least 1 main healer is way easier for most tanks to play on the ladder sure but my point wasn't really whether or not a team needed a specific subclass of character, it's that many people aren't going to know what "main healer" means

use that $20 to get a nice duck meal at a local thai place. if you're some flavor of vegetarian use it to buy a friend an indie multiplayer game you like to financially pressure them into playing it with you.

Nanoblade is understandably strong since it requires spending two limited resources, but it's still dumb. Though tbh I have more issues with the "nano" part than the "blade" part and think Ana's ult is probably the least fun thing to fight against in the game.

I'm pretty surprised to see weapon charms catch on as much as they have, I sorta find looking at them swaying around more annoying than anything. I know the point is to have customization you can see in first person but I'd much rather have TF2-style weapon paints, are both way more visible to other people and way tackier looking (both pluses). I guess it's that thing most big games have now where it's Imperative that characters all look exactly as designers intentioned, which is also why I assume you can't mix weapons/skins aside from the gold one.
