What's with the weird "sniper" categorization? If Hanzo is considered a Sniper, then shouldn't Mei be as well?

No, mai's icicles suffer from severe damage falloff

She could but I think the icicle looses power the further it goes

Mei isn't primarily a sniper. Her icicles have lots of damage falloff, and everything else about her is designed around close range.

If Mei is a sniper, then McCree is a sniper.
>>
>>340840091

Damage falloff.

What is hitscan? Been seeing this term around a lot regarding McCree but I don't know what it means.

If they had given her and ice rifle instead of a freeze gun, she'd be a pretty fun sniper, and Mei's would learn to wall better too

Mecree's falloff is almost just as bad as mei

The only difference is it's easier to hit with.

>>340840570
hitscan weapons have no actual object flying towards the target. They deal damage where you aim.

Joke's on you I don't even like BBW.
Chub is where it's at.
>>
>>340840570

Basically instant non-projectile damage. As soon as your click, the damage is done. Most bullets in games like this handle like that.

Something like Pharah's rockets or Zenyatta's orbs aren't hitscan, because they have travel time. But McCree's revolver and Soldier 76's gun are instant. Some people look down on things like that because they're easier to use.
>>
>>340840570
It means there's no delay between firing and hitting a target. In other words, there's no bullet travel time like there is with Mei's rmb. It's like the difference between a railgun and a rocket launcher.
>>
>>340840727
Like you ever able to do that before in the first place anyways, hypocrite

Not cool.
>>
>>340840570

Hitscan means the shots are not projectiles with travel time, it's just instant.

Things like soldier 76's gun, sniper shots, shotgun pellets, anything that's a "bullet" is usually hitscan.

Projectiles are things like rockets, arrows, energy blasts from zappy guns like dva/mercy pistol, grenades, etc. shit that flies through the air with travel time.

Back in my day BBW actually meant pleasantly chubby girls.

Then USA got fatter and fatter and now it's synonymous with 350+kg landwhales.

Thanks for the information. I guess it's something I was vaguely aware of but didn't know there was a term for.

okay, i might only be 18, and i might only have browsed the 4chan for about 7 months.

but still, my opinion on overwatch is very valid.

issue number one:

mei needs to be buffed

issue number two:

all healers need to be nerfed, they are simply overpowered, you cant kill people when they have healers

issue numbe three:

i dont really think you should overthink the art i mean its just a virtual girl haha nothing to freak out about boys

>>340841179

The US was still pretty fat at the time, they simply like to creep in on terms. Like I used to go to BBWchan watching the girls posted there go from chubby to "can't walk for long periods of time" was pretty jarring.

>>340841294

It really wasn't. The term was created to give confidence to chubby girls in an era of skinny women, just like plus size models were created for non-traditional (not skeleton) models. Of course, if you were to look us plus sized models now, you'll start seeing women much bigger than this.

Spike your hair up like Vegeta and you'll look awesome though.

>>340840570
Hitscan is an instantaneous ray. Effectively only a pixel in size on your screen, and lasting only a single frame as it extends from your camera to the first object in the way. Every weapon in the game that uses hitscan has some degree of random inaccuracy or spread (assault rifles, shotguns, Bastion's minigun) with the one possible exception of McCree's M1 shot, slow but (almost?) pinpoint accurate.

A projectile is a physical object that has travel time and possibly some other trajectory involved. Grenades, missiles, arrows, shurikens, slugs. Most of them have very large hitboxes, so while you may need to consider leading your shots, it's more lenient on making contact with an enemy's hitbox as well as it is much larger.

Both types give players different things to consider.

There's also the design consideration that all of the rapid fire and shotgun weapons are hitscan. Hitscans are far far less demanding on the game's bandwidth since it only need track a point in space for one frame compared to tracking the lifespan of one projectile for every frame across several seconds. If Roadhog's shotgun Ultimate or Bastion's Sentry Minigun fired projectiles, it would cause a lot more work for players' systems to calculate as the game does use a client-server hybrid hit detection.

See that's what I see as thick nowadays, with the landwhales being BBW
It doesn't matter too much how I see it, what pisses me and a lot of other people off is that if you try to search for the type of lady you posted you get landwhales, there should be /some/ way to distinguish them with words but it's simply not the case anymore and """THICC"""fags are no help.

>>
>>340841660
I guess "plus sized" if you need a fucking word for it but today that body type and others like it are standard sized pretty much, so "thick" "chubby " and "plump" are technically insults to her size
>>
>>340842145

Nah, thick is still the accurate description of Graham. Especially since her butt is pretty big.
>>
>>340842145
Any time a new term for "meat on the bones, but still cuts a striking figure" pops up, like "thick," "curvy," or "zaftig," it's immediately appropriated by spheroid ogre folk.
>>
>Mei is the only survivor of an antarctic expedition
It should be obvious, she killed them all.

Well, it was either her or Keith David, and he sweated more during the "put a hot nail in blood samples" test.

Reminder than Mei is evil.
She kills people in the most cruel way imaginable.
Even Reaper doesn't freeze people alive.
