FIRST FOR MERCY IS A SLUT
Got another one, not sure if its good enough
Is it okay to not use mic in comp?
QUIEN ES SOMBRA?
>>147964716
Yes.
There is currently a huge hooplah on the competitive overwatch subreddit about the same thing.
Competitive mode being a very obviously tacked on feature that doesn't show you any of the necessary information to improve or be competitive.

Do I keep going trying to kill the Zen through the mercy heal (because that's probably easier than killing mercy with Zen healing orb), wasting time for the enemy healers as they are doing jack shit for the rest of their team or do I just disengage and wait until they are busy healing someone else?
>>147965082
depends on your team, if they can push off that you keep distracting them, if not you run away because its more likely zen randomly headshots you with discord orb active
>>147965082
if you can keep both of them busy the whole time, just keep doing what you're doing, and let your team win the 5v4.

Given those points dota 2 and LoL are casual games. Their's a massive grind to get points that's slow and boring as shit, characters that dominate the meta, then it's a bunch of people derping around until 1 person fucks up at derping and gets a kill. Overwatch is a MOBA and FPS hybrid taking points from both and becoming a beautiful game. Certain Heroes need twitch reaction while some need smart movement and smart positioning, their's a hero for everyone. You like twitch shooters I like roadhog and winston.
The other issues you bring up is that an offensive ultimate is beaten by a defensive ultimes...No fucking shit. Defensive ultimates have counter play, that's why you see a winston pharah comp where the winston jumps on the mercy drawing enemy attention and the pharah bombs her out of the sky. All the defensive ultimates do is force priority targets, which makes for hype. Mccree and widow STILL SEE USE in pubs and competitive games, the patch was completely necessary.
I don't believe you've had any experience in the actual competitive scene because if you listen to our coms, counter picking is one of the most discussed things. Even at the start of the game we're making guesses based on map knowledge and team knowledge about what heroes they're going to use. Even on the lower end of the competitive spectrum you have counter picks in not only heroes, but in ults.
The ESL system is absolute trash and should not be used as our main competitive system, and most of your complaints fall under issues with ESL's hero stacking.
This was a massive opinion piece, based on YOUR problems, not the actual problems.
What it honestly looks like, is that you lost a bunch of games and have dug SO DEEP to find not issues that you rub mud on to say that they are.

I don't care who it is, holy shit that first round.
I don't think Soldier76 needs a buff or anything, but it would be nice if Blizzard increased his and McCree falloff damage range. He is supposed a Pharah counter but nothing feels more frustrating that shooting 50 bullets at her and not not getting a kill because she had a Mercy on her ass + was 30+ meters away. Unless you are Surelock aimbotting, of course
>>147966150

Does D.va's Ult really need a UI warning popup for everyone on the enemy team?
No other ult in the game has a big fat warning symbol on top of the noises and voicelines it already makes.

How about you shoot the mercy?
>>147965593
not him but I agree with him on the ult problem
they are really really strong and there's a lot of stalling and spamming down choke points until ults are up so you can pop them all and push a point

>>147966631
Its some idiot complaining that the game isn't a more casual tf2 and that how he thinks the only way to counter ults are Mercys and Lucios ult.
He also thinks 1/3rd of the cast is unplayable because they are not optimal in every single situation
I don't think he likes switching heroes
>>147966625
>>147966974
how do you know that they banned him? I dont think it should be bannable beyond a seasonban
From all the esport games.
This is by far the most infuriating game ever created. Its insane how much anger and butthurt it produces
>>147966824
he was chaotic good
what would you think about the next zarya nerf?
plenty of players are using this hero and blizzard could possibly nerf her for her popularity
I wonder if Blizz will ban everyone that gets to rank 1. I'm pretty sure it's impossible to get there unintentionally.
>>147966559
>No other ult in the game has a big fat warning symbol on top of the noises and voicelines it already makes.
Tracer's.
But I feel like it does, simply because of how mobile and the different strategies and uses the ult has in organized play.
Honestly? It's fine and doesn't need to be touched whatsoever.
It's incredibly good at breaking defenses.
It's sort of like a reverse version of Zarya's ult.
Instead of pulling people into a single spot, it can make everybody cower and hide, giving your team control over an area.
It can also be used strategically, such as tossing it over high walls and having it blow up as soon as it peaks over said wall because it has that much range. But this only works on some payload maps.
If you want to buff D. Va, the only thing you need is better spread, damage fall off, and speed while shooting.
Then she becomes a tank version of Tracer, with a much higher margin for error.

PATCH NOTES FOR MERCY:
>Ult now charges at 65% of the rate it currently charges at.
>Healing and damage boosts will now suffer a minor decay over time in effectiveness when used for extended periods on the same target.
>>147965265
Oh, I have other problems with other heroes.
>Roadhog's simultaneous fuckhuge ult battery for the enemy team, yet possessing an instakill combo and the ability to scarf a goddamned armored Torbjorn worth of health in his fat throat in two seconds..
>Junkrat being Demoman Mk 4.0 with the spoilers removed from his stickybombs.
>Explosive damage in general dealing not enough to the user at point-blank.
>Mercy's ult charge rate.
>Hanzo's foot-shot instakilling everyone that isn't Zarya or higher health (and I really like Hanzo, but it still is an issue)
>Tracer/Genji not being able to escape a Junkrat trap but can freely scoot away from being almost-frozen by Mei
>Mei's ice wall doesn't have translucency for allies.
>Pharah's counter was nerfed so you now need to attach a S76 or Roadhog to her to keep her in check, which is negated by a pocket Mercy.
>Winston counters a clusterfuck of things, then gets hard countered by Reaper, who then hard counters his enemy team if half-competent from free ult battery.
Shall I go on?
>>147967406
make it 70-75%
and if it decays when used for too long then it should have an initial boost as well
>>147967406
>Healing and damage boosts will now suffer a minor decay over time in effectiveness when used for extended periods on the same target.
fuck off retard lmao

>Lucio, our only fucking support, switches to Bastion
>I call him out on it
>he calls me toxic
Are these people fucking serious, or is this a joke? How in anybody's right mind would Bastion be a good choice with A) No Reinhardt and B) No Support? And I am toxic for calling him out on his stupidity?
"Toxic" is just a buzzword now.
>>147965049
Just a note, lucio's ult doesn't go through walls. It's based on line of sight, although there is a short delay where you can just have gone out of sight and still receive the effects.
>>147967625
why didnt you switch to lucio yourself then
why do you insist on pushing your opinion on others
you sound like an asshole
>>147967557
Seconding this question for research purposes
does anyone have the S76 script for no spread at all ?
>>147967267
If d.va's spread and falloff were any worse, the enemies would have to be behind her cause it's not possible to stand close enough to enemies for them to be effective as they are. Her ult is also legitimately garbage. Easily the worst ult in the game. Only the worst players in the game will actually get hit by it, and even then, you usually need a zarya just to hold them in place long enough for that. Getting the enemy team to not stand in one place for 2 seconds is not adequate payoff for the slowest charging ult in the game. It would barely be at an acceptable power level if it charged as fast as widow or mercy's, you know, the two fastest charging and also some of the most impactful ults in the game.
>>147967625

>>147966273
i dno

What's the point of left click on Mei? It takes 70 damage to freeze somebody. Even if you can't land headshots a right click does 75. The only practical use I can think of is helping your team kill some fat cunt like Zarya when she's running away.
Is it literally just for bad players to line up headshots? I don't understand.
>>147967423
The Junkrat trap is a bear trap, it's understandable not being able to escape it. To my knowledge 76 has always been listed as the counter to Pharah, even pre McCree nerf so wtf are you on about there?
>>147964928
TU PUTA MADRE
>>147966181
I'd prefer not to make 76 a better counterpick against anything until he has good counterpicks himself.

I'm giving them. Whether I'm right or not, these aren't my only issues with the game at the moment, and some are overlapping (the cone on melee being way too fucking overly generous, for instance.)
>>147967826
Helps bog down high mobility heros, ideally you'd use it to help protect your back line from problem Genjis and Tracers, slowing them so a couple team mates can land some shots.

>>147967685
Dumbass, for one, somebody else switched to Lucio. Second, and most importantly, Bastion on a KOTH with no point and no Reinhardt is a horrible fucking idea. I am not an asshole for pointing that huge strategic error. That guy is an asshole for making a hige switch without telling his teammates beforehand or considering how the switch would affect the team.
>>147967312
Except when characters like D.va become 500% pick rate overnight on certain maps in pro play right? The idea that the meta is solved in this game is touted around constantly here, but it's closer to 'this strat works and I am unwilling to learn anything else until someone else figures it out for me'

>>147967826
When the targets are distracted by your other teammates you can use left click to make it easier for them to finish them off. Also it's good for spazzy Genjis and Tracers if you're trapped in a small room with them.

I hear you, the problem is some of these problems just seem silly to me. Removing Junkrats ability to catch a Genji or Tracer in it makes them just have one less thing to worry about when they're spazing around. As for cone of melee you talking about just regular melee attacks or ults like Genji?
>>147968219
t. 67 main
>>147967267
I feel like if D.va is going to get a buff, it needs to involve fixing her critbox more than anything. But the UI warning just bugs me so much and I'm not sure why.
I fully understand that I should be using it to push people off objectives and whatnot, but I just think that the game shouldn't facilitate your escape from it at every step.
Like, all this is standard.
>NERF THIS (standard, every hero has a voiceline on their ult that lets you know it's been activated)
>Charging noise (standard, let's you know what direction it's coming from)
>Giant glowing ball (standard, you see the ult, you know where it is for certain at this point)
By now only like one or two seconds has passed and you know everything you need to get away.
Then a big red triangle with a dot in the middle gives you even more information
>Where it is relative to your point of view, again
>How close you are (turns yellow when "safer" and white or blue when "safe")
>The exact center point of the explosion so you can break LOS on a signpost 100% reliably

>>147968182
>literally who the fuck does that
don't tell me you have never seen pharmercy ingame. Since it's a meme it's actually not even rare, I try to see if the Mercy heals other member but it doesn't look like so...My gf tells me that if she could play she'd pick Mercy and spend her time healing me, so I think pocket mercy are not that rare.
>>147968351
You can also see it through walls and it shows the direction even if you aren't looking at it. No other ult has that kind of warning except tracer's which goes off almost instantly and if she sticks you can't be run from.
How do I deal with Soldier stacking?
>>147967974
You can kill him with 3 icicles, or 2 if you land a headshot. Unless he's just jumping directly over your head like an asshole I doubt it would be more effective to freeze him.
>>147968005
The only high mobility target I can think of where it'd be worth it is Lucio, since he'll probably heal out of icicle kill range. But against tanks you're probably better off shooting them unless nobody on your team is doing so. Why freeze them when you could just kill them faster?
>>147968019
Tracer dies to a single icicle headshot, or two bodyshots. Genji will usually just dash away if you start freezing him and return in 8 seconds, unless he's trying very hard to kill a mercy or some shit.
>>147968184
I would argue that 75 or 150 damage icicles are more useful to help finish people off. If you're trying to prevent them from escaping, ice walls do a pretty good job of that.
So I need to know, is Mcree worth anything anymore? I want to get gud with him but I hear he's shit.

If you have God-like aiming (and that's not even hyperbole, we're talking 100% hit, 80% crit rate) he's good.
Otherwise, Reaper or 76 do whatever your team needs you to do better.
>>147965049
The problem with Overwatch is that it tries to be an FPS and a strategy game, and ends up neatly demonstrating why developers just pick one of those things.
The FPS element is bad because of the wealth of auto-aim and very easy to aim skills and weapons, which negate the impact of good aim. There's also the huge number of auto-positioning skills that negate the impact of good movement.
The strategy element is bad because in trying to disguise the game as an FPS they had to give up all of the hallmarks of a good strategy game. No top-down camera so you can get an unhindered picture of what's going on, controls are limited such that you'll never be able to control more than one unit at once, and unlike a real strategy game there isn't a wealth of different goals to pursue. There's no resources to control, no gold expansion to take, etc.
The game is bad as an FPS and bad as a strategy game. It's not long for this world, IMO.

>>147968101
Except he wasn't just playing bad, he even says you have to intentionally sabatoge the match to get where he was going. As for the competitive, assuming it is true cause I know dick all about spotting aimbot, since they've defended them going back now would irrevocably damage any chance at getting a pro scene going.

This isn't a subreddit, /owg/ is not an echo chamber constructed for feelgood worship. It's an all-purpose discussion thread for the game.
Just started playing this game today. Any tips? So far, all i've played is D.Va, Bastion and Soldier76 and Reinhardt. I'm pretty bad at the game, though.
I really like Bastion and D.Va. When are those heroes good to play and when should I avoid them?

>genji
>ever not flipping over your head back and forth nonstop 24/7
Slowing high mobility targets is extremely helpful. It's a self multiplying effect. The more you slow them, the more reliably you can hit them. If you icicle someone, sure you can nail them twice dead on, but if you don't do it the third time, the first two hits don't actually accomplish anything to land the kill. If you can consistently land every icicle, it's better damage, but that's really only in a 1v1 situation. If literally any teammate is in the vicinity, slowing the target helps them hit too, which makes a massive difference in damage on single targets. Freezing tanks is in many ways more helpful than just damaging them too. Tanks usually have defensive abilities that they won't be able to use when frozen. Their big health pools are basically meaningless under any kind of focus fire in that situation.

The pro scene is still in its infancy. Every major post-competitive-patch tournament has fucked with the game's internal rules, whether it's removing SD, enacting hero limits, or both. Throwing them under the bus now with some shit like "more evidence has surfaced" etc. will still give them the excuse of "it was early on, we were learning lol".
Letting that shit go will not only empower folks already doing it, but it'll allow any aspiring "professional" to try their own hand at cheating. Folks are gonna get sick of it. THAT is what will kill the pro scene.

Push ults, such as Roadhog's or Winstons are honestly pretty bad and only good for pushing people off points.

See, if you actually read what I typed you'd understand that you don't need to hit people with something for it to actually be effective, you simple minded rascal you.
>the slowest charging ult in the game
You are literally just bad D. Va.
Here's a list of characters whos ults charge just as fast as D. Va.

And here's a list of the two fastest ults in the game.
>Mechless D. Va, Symmetra, Tracer, in that order
>>147968351
>I feel like if D.va is going to get a buff, it needs to involve fixing her critbox more than anything.
How is D. Va's critbox even an issue when 80% of the time you're supposed to be shooting people in the back of the head? No offense but I honestly believe anybody who complains about it just doesn't know how D. Va is supposed to be played.
But you're right, D. Va's ult doesn't need more than a million warning signs (or three). But if they're going to buff her, buff her biggest offender, her inability to finish people off because they can just walk away because of her spread, damage falloff, and slow walk speed while shooting.

True on the Tracer part, but that's assuming the person playing Mei can aim, as for Genji it still gives a little breathing room. To me, what ever hero I play, so long as I'm making X, Y or Z unable to, or in affective at doing their job then it's working.

You can easily kill the zen through mercy healing. Dumping an entire clip into his head is 480 dps. And hes the one that can actually kill you if you arent careful.
Also killing him removes his orbs from the battle enabling you to kill mercy after
>>147965049
Sounds to me like you are just mad at getting killed by ults all the time. If you honestly think the only counter to most ults is Mercy and Lucios ults then I suggest maybe you look at your keyboard, locate the W,A,S and D keys and then start walking in the other direction from where you heard the very loud callout for the ult. Overwatch is a game that clearly rewards practice, teamplay and gamesense but all this video sounds like is "Im not getting better so the game must be bad, not me!" I don't know if you have been solo queuing all this time or something but I would get a team of friends together, actually practice together and start playing together because you will find the experience much more rewarding. As someone who has put over 1200 hours into TF2, I feel Overwatch is a nice change of pace with its vast hero selection and smaller teams. The ults work in the same way random crits do in TF2, to help break stalemates in pub play, but its possible we will see comp leagues turning them off as the game gets more popular and people really start breaking into what each character can do. Outright dismissing McCree due to his nerf is a mistake many are making when he is still a very viable character. This is my first Blizzard game but the fact you outright dismiss the idea that they can roll out any possible balance changes is just seeming like you want an excuse to dislike the game. If you don't like the game, that's fine, you don't have to play it anymore.

They still defend hero stacking in competitive tooth and nail, but it's normally banned in pro games. They'll drag their feet untill it's at that point of no return, I get it'd be way better to do it sooner rather than later. To be completely honest the only reason I have to care about the pro scene is because it has an impact on me, who will never be good enough to go pro, otherwise I wouldn't care one way or another what happens to a bunch of pro players.
>>147969767

>>147969778
Going near the objective is likely to mean death.
>>147969210
Except I flat out stated why it's a garbage ult even if you use it as a "get out of here" button. Moving people 3 feet behind cover is not an effective ult. Her ult is fucking trash. "the inverse of zarya's ult" You mean how it doesn't set up teammate's ults? or cc the enemy team? or all but guarantee a team wipe? or go off instantly? Yeah, they're clearly equal but inverse, sure.
>here's a list of characters whos ults charge just as fast as D. Va.
7 characters with incredibly powerful ults
>And here's a list of the two fastest ults in the game.
You listed 3 things, but I'll forgive that since mechless dva's "ult" hardly counts since it's basically just the second half of her passive.
>Symmetra
Incredibly powerful ult, the entire reason you pick the character
>tracer
a basically uncounterable kill button
what is your point?
>>147969120
True, but freezing tanks can also be detrimental. For example Reinhardt will often just put up a barrier, which makes him harder to kill rather than easier. Most tanks are easy to headshot, so you could get in nearly 300 damage in that time instead.
Winston can either put up a barrier or jump away. Zarya can just put up a barrier and negate any time you spent trying to freeze her. D.Va will often fly away. Roadhog can hook you and more or less force you to ice block.
>>147969325
But damaging them significantly makes it even harder to do their job than almost-freezing them would. They would need to run off and heal. So shouldn't you give up on left click and work on getting better at aiming instead?

>How is D. Va's critbox even an issue when 80% of the time you're supposed to be shooting people in the back of the head?
D.va doesn't (shouldn't) get melted while in firefights if you know how to play, like at all. She gets melted at the moment she jumps back into her mech while she can't really control it. There's about 1 second where it stands completely still. Hell, just removing its ability to be crit during this window would be a huge buff.
Oftentimes after using your ult while flanking, you're going to get a lot of attention from 1-3 enemies moving away from it. And your skinny hitbox and pistol is not reliable protection, you need to jump back in your mech as soon as you can and that 1 seconds of standstill makes for a dead mech.
I wish I had the Webm of a Hanzo destroying a D.va mech in the time from jumping in and being able to move.
Did blizz say how much comp shekels do you get for your rank?

We've had ONE patch of changes since the game released with a changeless that was literally 4-5 lines. It's been nearly a month and a half and there's numerous glaring balance issues still running about.
Meanwhile for all the shit people give Riot/League it has a 2 week patch cadence and even in the case of extreme imbalance have proven willing to even hot fix things

>>147969924
With reinhardt, you have to get behind or to the side of him and make him choose between blocking your freeze or your team shooting him. Situational, but clearly a time where you'd be better freezing him that taking potshots. Zarya can barrier, but all you have to do is icicle or just wait it out and freeze her again. Zarya's the squishiest tank in the game with her barrier down, and if she can't move, her smaller hitbox is meaningless. Winston is kind of an iffy situation, but freezing ulting winston keeps him in check way more than doing a little damage to his huge hp pool. Dva is better to icicle usually, but with her defense matrix up, you should be freezing her since it'll go through, and freezing her will cancel it.
>>147969708
>This is my first Blizzard game but the fact you outright dismiss the idea that they can roll out any possible balance changes is just seeming like you want an excuse to dislike the game.
Not him, but Blizzard has a long history of tacking on competitive play and saying "we totally intended for this to be an esport", before proceeding to do patch after patch that changes things or add things to cater to their massive mostly casual fan base, even if it is at the detriment of their pro-scene.
When they do finally get their heads out of their asses long enough to remember they promised support for that competitive mode that they half-assed, it's often late or another half-ass fix.
So while the guy might just be a whiny baby, there is some sense to his pessimism.

That's using logic and wanting to improve, I'm coming at it from the mind set of most people, or atleast that's how it seems. Personally that's what I'd prefer to do, get better at actually securing a kill, but sometimes you run into people who are just flat out better and you end up hanging on by the skin of your teeth.

I disagree with a lot of what he's saying, but then maybe its because I come from a strategy/rpg background rather than an fps background so I can appreciate overwatch more
It just reeks of "reeeee i hate mercy rez so much reeee games hinging on clever ability use rather than twitch aiming and bunny hopping reeee"
But then I do agree that comp play just feels like a "who can out cheeze the other" fest, but thats more of an issue with the 2 capture point maps that needs addressing as well as hero balance"
Also
>Rank 70
>Thinks lucio ult goes through walls
>Shoots zarya barrier without intention to destroy it
>"Pre nerf widow and mccree saw little to average play in pubs"
Bull fucking shit both those heroes were absolutely everywhere pre-nerf
I legitimately think Overwatch's issues can be partly solved by just throwing heroes at the game so long as the heroes themselves are individually balanced
Right now double lucio + double winston + double tracer is a problematic cheese strat on offense, but what about when we're 10 heroes down the line, and we have a hero that can stick to ceilings on points that winston cant reach and a hero who can reverse healing effects and make lucio hurt his teammates or whatever crazy shit like that
The more factors we have, the harder it becomes to cheese because theres more things the cheese has to account for
>>147970243
Yeah that's why the game will literally undo the blink so you can die on the spot you just blinked away from, right?
