doing a lot of well-considered changes at once has allowed them to tweak the core gameplay so much it plays better than it ever has. Not that it couldn't have been just a content patch but it would have been an unprecedented amount of development and testing. The seagull video is dead-on, it's the fallout from a ridiculously mismanaged PvE sequel, except that he completely glosses over just how good overwatch 2 pvp is. This feels exactly like a live-service game's 2.0 patch to the point that they absolutely should have just called it overwatch 2.0 so it wasn't so loving confusing and contentious; there were people mourning overwatch 1 shutting down.

The only toxicity i've had in quickplay so far is a healer on my team telling me to "get off reinhardt" when I had top damage and like 20k shielded and 3 big slams. I think he's not meta or something. What's competitive like with the scoreboard and 1 tank situation?

CuddleCryptid posted:After playing a few more rounds, I think DPS life is going to be "play your role" with the new system. If you're playing someone like Soldier 76 or a similar hitscan hero then your role is in the back line, and that's a *strict* role. There's no more pushing up for daring moves, because the tanks can just DPS you down easily. You have to stay in your optimal range, even if it means losing objective progress, because you're just going to be mincemeat otherwise. Even healers have more DPS pushing potential than some DPSes because of their increased sustain. it is literally the opposite of this

DPS die every time 1v1 a tank and teams fold every time the DPS just hangs back and attacks tanks. its more than ever a game of playmaking now

CuddleCryptid posted:Her silence was cut by a huge margin in exchange for a damage buff that would make her role the same as most other flankers. I mean it might be better numerically but it's more boring that way. It's less stupid to play against which is one of the defining design goals of overwatch 2

Mei is about as strong as she's ever been and there are good counterplays to her in a 1v1. Design goal nailed imo

I never had the FTUE issue until after the patch/update that supposedly fixed it. oops! returning players that get this poo poo are probably going to be saying "gently caress this" more than new players are going to get overwhelmed by being able to pick too many heroes. feels like an issue that could have been fixed by recommending heroes to people

Bottom Liner posted:This is exactly backwards. There are way less shields and only 1 tank to contend with. Knowing how and when to push them vs when to go for picks and angles is the entire DPS game. It sounds like you're talking about the same thing?

It still sounds like you're talking about the same thing: dps can't stand around and pressure tanks as the default, they have to change their playstyle to be more flanky and dynamic, if they play like before they lose

The tanks job is to "make space" (awful esports speak for pushing forward or stopping people by being places that are strategically advantageous) - DVA and Winston excel at shutting down problematic dps, doomfist is good too if you're super nerdy about his specific mechanics. You need to "protect" people by making the dps and suport dead or distracted or unable to find flanks and your dps need to win these advantageous duels or kill supports or punish vulnerable tanks. Rein and sigma and orisa are mostly about being a pushing force. You want to swap actively to respond to the enemy team. DVa is probably the strongest tank and best to learn on in that she can flipflop between everything, turn around and defense matrix across a sight line, brawl like crazy, do whatever. Your team isn't really meant to follow you for long periods of time

winston seems 'fine' but isnt nearly tanky enough to bully an entire team like an orisa/dva/doomfist. but drat the ranged alt fire was a buff to his ability to confirm kills. if i see a winston im walking back to spawn to switch off ana and zen every time

Jack Trades posted:Someone made this handy infographic. the "fire" system and cards were a replacement for a scoreboard and now we have a scoreboard. "on fire" became an afterthought so quickly to even the devs who kept being inconsistent with what abilities/healing/interactions added how much fire and balancing how easy it was to be on fire. one thing I do miss from the fire system is being able to judge what percentage of a hero's health you did by how much +fire it showed though. the missing hybrid maps are funny because those are the maps shown to have new singleplayer areas and they seem to have just plum run out of time QAing/optimising them. im guessing they'll slowly come back into rotation and blizzard will never admit anything was wrong.

Jack Trades posted:I'd much rather have 15 seconds after the match to see which players have performed the best in the match and watch everyone's reaction to the POTG than watching the battlepass fill up and game going "congratulation, you level up! Your reward is loving nothing!" i like afking into the next queue faster instead of watching everyone leave the match before the cards even appear and then half the cards are like "2 storm arrow kills"
