By giririsss Go To PostTarget prioritisation is REALLY bad in general. When i can play support (read, have competent tanks / dps) i'll call targets. It's why I feel i win more games with Zenyatta than Lucio, because i'll call the target that's highlighted with his discord orb.
yo i do this with Zenyatta, it feels like that's an implied part of the discord orb's utility. Love playing as him.
By Tea Go To PostIt's common sense if you played enough games. Healers gotta die. If you're a dps with an escape plan go do it. Heal yourself back up and do some more damage. Also I generally don't like how some classes have better range on their shit than snipers. Snipers are just terrible at least on console. Health sucks, damage sucks, and they struggle to aim if someone farted.Yeah, I wouldn't expect any of the balance or meta on console to be the same as on PC. The people who are actually good at sniping on PC will leave your jaw dropped because it's fucking dumb what they have to do to be successful. Constantly getting headshots while grappling and shit. Always being on the move and getting reflex headshots like its Quake III. They will straight up demoralize a team.
Reaction time and abilities are just slower on console which is why I can't stand gibby stuff. Like I can play Quake stuff fine, grew up on it, but on a system utilizing a controller it's just dumb.
new event
I've never had such garbage luck with loot boxes like I am during this event. Pretty much everything is common.
Symmetra is a menace right now. They either need nerf the amount of damage her primary weapon does or cut down how much damage her projected shields can soak up. Right now she's Tankmelter 3000 and next to impossible to push into unless you have an absolutely perfectly coordinated team.

By Jeff-DSA Go To PostI've never had such garbage luck with loot boxes like I am during this event. Pretty much everything is common.The real problem is, that after your team has been near her for 5 seconds, she has to be target priority 1.

So your team has 5 seconds to kill the other teams ana/mercy, then Symetra.
Leaves you completely venerable to the other teams DPS / tanks. If they're even remotely good 4 of your team should be dead or retreating.
I legitimately liked the game a lot more before they added Ana.
AnaHog76watch has kind of killed my motivation to play more.
AnaHog76watch has kind of killed my motivation to play more.
Ana changes the whole game. And has really influenced both sides.
Basically makes 3 tank work. Her ability to flash heal. And make up for a lack of punch with her ult.
And really makes Mercy irrelevant. (Seriously, stop picking her in comp plz). And zenyatta pointless (at a certain level).
But it's meant that she's the reason why a lot of dps characters are worse than ever. And even some of the defense characters. You basically have to play them perfectly to be relevant.
I'm not sure what more you do to balance Ana, she is the single biggest meta influence for a while. But one theory has been removing her positive buff. So her grenade can only be used on enemies. That would really change things up.
I feel like blizzard would be better off short term focusing on people throwing in comp games though.
I had 5 comp games ruined by blatant throws. People who never even intended to try, from the very start. That shit is even worse. (I would also like to be able to ban one hero on your own team, so it can't be picked. But really, you need to ban torb, bastion, hanzo).

Is there a team deathmatch mode or can I track my idndividual score or K/D mid match yet?
I really wish I didnt spend $60 on this. Probably my worst gaming purchase of the last couple years.

By s y e Go To PostIs there a team deathmatch mode or can I track my idndividual score or K/D mid match yet?You've always been able to track your k/d score mid-match. Just look at deaths and finishing blows (or whatever that stat is called).
I really wish I didnt spend $60 on this. Probably my worst gaming purchase of the last couple years.
By s y Go To PostI guess so. I was thinking more of a traditional fps mid match scoreboard type thing.Do you mean one where you see everyone in the match's k/d?
By Kibner Go To PostDo you mean one where you see everyone in the match's k/d?Yep.
By s y Go To PostYep.lol blizzard will burn before they do that
By DY_nasty Go To Postlol blizzard will burn before they do thatFor good reason, too. It has no place in a class/role-based game like Overwatch. It is meaningless and would only increase the amount of raging and trolling among teammates.
By data Go To PostDoomfist cominI know they keep adding heroes to keep the public interested.
But god fucking damnit they need to balance the game better first.
Also, Doomfist isn't the next in line. Devs have said so. That 14yo numbani girl that built an arachnoid robot is.
Supposed to be a defensive tank similar in concept to rein.
They said vaguely it's not who you think it is.
They also said after that related to Ef ithat it's not who you think it is

IDK. It feels like a lot of the player base are bad at most characters anyway. Introducing more isn't going to solve that issue :|
But i guess, for most, not adding more isn't either.
I really think its two characters at this point. Especially if people were taking that '5-19' on the wrench as a release date. Because the whole smashed up bots change ot Numbani and the new Zenyatta voice line wouldn't really do much to tease Efi as a new character. I could see a cinematic introducing Doomfist destroying those bots and then one of hte bots returning, brought back by Efi who's piloting it to fight Doomfist at the end.

I just know that tanks need a shake up.
IDK why I fired up Overwatch for the first time in months, but I noticed Arcade would give me a chest for winning one 1v1 duel and one random character match. Cool. Then one chest every 3 wins? And this resets every week?
Back to the grindividual I go. Also tried Sombara for the first time fun character.

By Lupercal Go To PostIs TorBjorn viable yet ? :'(In certain team comps on certain maps in certain situations when playing defense, yes.
By Kibner Go To PostIn certain team comps on certain maps in certain situations when playing defense, yes.In short. Not really.

By Phoenix RISING Go To PostSo…like every other hero.Not really.
There's a reason Lucio, Reinhardt, Ana have had a 90% + pick rate for competitive teams for a long time.
i think /r/competitiveoverwatch regularly has hero tier break downs.
The next tier there's D.va, Soldier, Roadhog, Zarya, genji. Though i think Zarya is at around 80%?
You'll see Torb, Bastion, Zenyatta, Hanzo, Widow, Junkrat, Sombra all hover below 1%
There's quite a few heroes that should be well and truly at the front of your mind if you're genuinely playing to win. And a whole other set if you're just trying to "not lose" (i.e. don't pick these).
Her kit sounds crazy:
Abilities:
Fusion Driver
Orisa’s automatic projectile cannon delivers sustained damage, but slows her movement while she fires it.
Fortify
Orisa temporarily reduces damage she takes, and cannot be affected by action-impairing effects.
Halt!
Orisa launches a graviton charge which she can detonate, slowing nearby enemies and pulling them towards the explosion.
Protective Barrier
Orisa throws out a stationary barrier that can protect her and her allies from enemy fire.
Supercharger
Orisa deploys a device to increase damage inflicted by allies within her line of sight.

By Dark PhaZe Go To PostBastion, Orisa, Ana, Zarya, lucio, reinhardt meta on defense confirmedWay to immobile
Add a D.va, genji, hog, tracer mc cree, soldier instead of zarya
By data Go To Posti'd rather have orisa than reinahrdt as winston. if just for the ult.Not sure that's the reason to pick orisa, so she can ult for winston lol.
But it's like zarya's ult. It should combo well with pharah and d.va, mc cree too. Tracer maybe?
Orisa's hitbox is basically tailor made to get fucked by Hanzo
I dont know why people think Sombra is her ultimate counter. Hanzo fucks her hard.

By data Go To PostAna got hit HARD on PTRYeah. Saw those. That ... really makes it interesting.
Winston and Zen got some big buffs again
It will really open the game back up for PharMercy. Ana used to be that extra 20% damage you needed combined with a DPS to really shut down a pharah.
I heard that the PC and PS4 versions don't have cross play and are completely different.
Any pointers for someone who prefers third person shooting and doesn't like first person, but generally had some fun with this game.
Do first person shooting games have frame data and frame traps and optimal damage set ups like a competitive fighting game?

By shun Go To PostJust got Overwatch for really cheap.
I don't really like first person shooting games, but I played Overwatch at Naturals before and I thought it was fun and wasn't as bad as the other experiences I have with first person game.
Any characters to recommend, before I go in and find out I'm playing someone wrong.
Like what is their closest RPG class equivalent for these heroes?
If it counts, I prefer third person shooters and I enjoy playing support in Splatoon. I liked Vanquish, Splatoon, and Biohazard 6.

So there are no "rpg" type classes.
You'll find it's closer to a MOBA in character styling than an RPG.
There aren't FPS traps, but some things have cast times. And having a low frame rate is bad. Just from a stability thing, you don't want your frames dropping too much and making stuff jerky and affecting your aim.
And no, consoles and PC don't mix. They had to balance them separately.
