>>135075760

It's terrible, you should try it just to experience it and let it traumatize you.

The only other semi decent FPS out there that isn't one of the obvious big names like CS/BF/CoD would be Dirty Bomb. Unfortunately that game has some really lazy devs and a lackluster community, it's somewhat fun despite that, personally nowhere near as fun as OW but it'll help tide you over.

Is there a reason teams aren't running torby as the 6th character on the zenlotta (double zenyatta) lineup?

200hp tracer/genji is pretty bad, but a torbjorn could buff your tracers/genjis and zenyattas before a push up to a nice 275hp. Admittedly not as good as other heroes DM wise but not terrible, and between the armour and the turret it makes up for it? Also, molten core is really strong.

FUCK OFF WITH THIS BULLSHIT

Blizzard isn't retarded
if the playerbase actually was small enough that you'd get all these messed up and fucked up matchmade games, THEN BLIZZARD IS NOT GETTING ANY GOOD DATA FOR THEIR BETA

they invited enough people to be representatitve of the overall playerbase, and as one anon already showcased, he'd been keep track of everyone he's met since November and he's come across over 10,000 people

THAT IS NOT A SMALL NUMBER, fucking christ, and you only need a sample size of like 3000 for a statistical model with a 95% confidence rate too

so many fucking blizzdrones don't even think critically

if the population size actually were small enough to actively influence matchmaking games, then the data is going to be wrong and messed up, and Blizzard (despite all their retarded decisions) is not THAT stupid

holy fucking shit
matchmaking in this game is atrocious
they have a large enough sample of players that this is a VERY GOOD FUCKING INDICATOR of what the game is going to be like at release if the system stays the way it is right now

There really aren't that many people in the beta, if I open up any stream and watch a couple rounds I'm guaranteed to see 7-8 people I play with on a regular basis. Even when I play most of my teammates are people I've already seen multiple times, very few new players.

The big problem is quality though, most people in the beta are clearly not too familiar with FPS games and it makes the majority of my rounds a waste of time.

I see so much horrible aim and lack of awareness

Like I might bodyshot someone with Widowmaker from far away and then I see through my own scope how our Tracer that is next to said enemy fails to finish them off when they have like 20% hp

Or a Reaper might drop behind our team and start shooting people and some dudes in the frotnline don't even react to the Reaper blasting away 10 feet behind them, as if they are playing with no sound

There was this super egregious example of my teammate not being aware of an enemy behind him and I had to ask him if he was playing without sound and he said he was

Like who the fuck plays FPS games like that

I'm convinced most people aren't using sound, most of my rounds are lost because the rest of my team keeps getting flanked or outright shot by someone walking behind them and they do nothing to stop it. I'm half tempted to write up a gigantic post about how Blizzard can setup the training grounds to get people some understanding and practice with these real game situations but I know people would bitch and say they don't need help with it.

matchmaking has been fucking retarded lately, it was working pretty well before but idk what they did. every fucking game has been a stomp, win or lose, i barely even see overtime anymore. the second you win too many times it forces you to lose so you're 50/50.
who thought of this 50/50 shit? Just put people who are the same mmr against one another i dont get why it has to make sure you are winning and losing the correct amount of times, its not fucking fun. I can barely enjoy winning now cause the enemy team just falls over so the game can tell me LOOK YOU WON.

>>
>>135132635

What he means is that isn't happening, his games are all one sided stomps. Mine are as well, the vast majority of my games see one team clearly being decent at the game while the other doesn't know which button fires their gun. This is forced 50, not proper matchmaking.

i'm not the one you were responding to, i perfectly understand what 50/50 is supposed to be but the fact is that's not how it works in this game

>>
>>135133582

You're confusing 50% winrate with "Forced 50".

50% winrate means you're playing against evenly matched opponents and your win rate reflects that. Forced 50 is you winning a game then the system saying "ok he has to lose a game so let's put him in a team with total imbeciles so he is guaranteed to lose".
>>
>>135134208
How do you know it's forced?

your reasoning is this

>matchmaking "forces" you to lose

that's what you are saying
and other anon and i are saying that you are retard if you think that's actually how the system works

the system pairs you up against other people that it thinks you're equally skilled with, and because you're playing against other equally skilled players, you're likely to end up with a 50/50 ratio, you faggot

if you get paired against seagull and his premade, maybe the system thinks you're good enough to fight against him and his team

you might be good at overwatch, but your intelligence is so fucking nonexistent
>>
>>135136228
I never said it was good you lunatic
>>
>>135136421

For some reason you can't comprehend what people are telling you. Having a 50% winrate is perfectly fine, that's the ideal situation for everyone. The issue here is that you are NOT getting matched up with players around your skill level, see >>135134694 for a clear example of this taking place.

Right now there are three culprits:

>Not enough people in the beta
Maybe the system is trying to match people with equal skill brackets but there aren't enough current players to get it right, this is another problem that people have been telling Blizzard about for a while.
>Forced 50
Already explained a dozen times, terrible.
>No actual matchmaking system exists
It could just be picking people at random and not doing any sort of filtering.

In no way shape or form is matchmaking even close to working properly right now and to argue against it means you're probably not in the game and not experiencing how terrible it is.

>more matchmaking shitflinging

>>135136769
>this shows a clear example of this taking place
>shows a screenshot with literally zero meaningful information

maybe Hakuei, Beanjamine, Maverick21, Ceide, Voidspawn, and Franky have all won like 70% of their games? maybe they're all really fucking good at playing the game?

maybe Alukard, Whiskee, McClane, Caroline, Tibiskuite, and Exon are literally shit at the game? they might be a pre-made, but all they do is just play casually and for fun without actually trying, maybe they're all at 45% win rate together?

who the fuck knows
the fact is that the screenshot you're touting has LITERALLY ZERO MATCH MAKING INFORMATION. the only thing we can see are player levels, and you can get to 220 by just spamming VS AI games. it doesn't mean that you're actually good at the game you fucking sperg

>forced 50
FORCED 50 DOES NOT EXIST, IT IS NOT EVEN A VALID POINT TO BRING UP, YOU AUTIST.

>not enough people in the beta
also wrong, because statistically, there are enough people in the beta for Blizzard to make good balancing decisions, if there weren't enough people to be statistically relevant, they would invite more people

>no actual matchmaking exists
also proven wrong, because based kaplan has already told shitters and scrubs to 'git gud' by releasing information that skilled players win on Attack 60% of the time and unskilled players win only 35% of the time, so matchmaking DOES exist

>Mercy's stern, matronly spirit was a less-used archetype that I really enjoyed playing as. I appreciated her maturity and tempered kindness. Her voice expressed her age and her experience in the field. Her old VO gave the impression of a woman who was focused and knowledgeable, but not rigid or lacking compassion. She seemed solid, caring, and trustworthy — exactly what you'd want from a healer.

>The new VO almost expresses the tired-out trope of the self-confident, maybe kind of aggressive woman. But I say "almost" because I think the VO ultimately doesn't describe her character anymore in any way other than German. Other posters have described how the previous actress could express a movement of complex emotions that revealed a lifetime of developed character. The new VOs lack age and make her sound young, excitable, and cute in a way that better fits another archetype, and another character altogether.

>I really appreciate Blizzard's attention to detail in trying to capture geographically accurate accents. However, as someone else on the thread said pretty well, I don't think talent is a good sacrifice for authenticity.

>Consider Lucio — I stinkin' love his VOs! However, we all know that's not accurate to his region. I would be really, really sad if his lines were re-recorded with a worse actor for the sake of accuracy, and I don't think I'm alone there.

This is what happens when video games become more mainstream, people who don't understand multiplayer games flood into them and have no idea what the purpose of the game is.

So how should blizzard nerf zenyatta?

At least make it so discord has a duration or something.
>>
>>135129096
You have to be kinda creative how to use it, on defense i usually use it to push back when lucio or zenyatta ults to ruin their push. I also use it sort of as a counter to genjis ulting and pushing back junkrats ult.

Also sometimes it can work wonder with walls etc to lock someone up there, or combo with mei or zarya ultimate because it doesnt push them back then.

Absolutely nothing wrong with sticking to the 3-4 characters you are best at. When you look at how vastly different the gameplay mechanics are for each character it's obvious to see that specific ones are going to mesh with an individuals skill better or worse. If someone is a god tier McCree because he has great aim then he might also be wonderful at 76 but he may be atrocious at something like Pharah due to just not being good with rockets or his skills would be utterly wasted playing something like Reinhardt or Winston, why should he switch to a character he is way less effective as just to satisfy your autism?

This is kinda how every single multiplayer game works, you don't just tell someone to play Invoker in dota because "it's just another hero" or say hey you're going to be our AWPer to someone in CS simply because they are good with an AK.

Whats going to happen is you will have a 6 man team queue and if they find a 6 man team of equal skill then yes you will def have what you are asking for but make no mistake, if the search range goes a bit to far they are going to put that 6 man team vs anything it can find. It would be perrty stupid on a team game that a 6 man queue had to wait 40mins to find a match cause you felt solo deserves its own place...its just bad all around

So I played for the first time today and I think that's the best time to post some initial reactions.

The game makes it very obvious that switching heroes is possible during a match but I found myself almost never doing it during a match. It just takes too long. When you press "H" you have to first move the mouse onto the hero you are looking for and then move it to the confirm button and click.

I imagine this process was made with console in mind because there the D-Pad obviously works faster to select the hero and A/X (XBOX/PS4) probably confirms.

On the PC this is waaaay to annoying.

Proposed changes:

1) Let us navigate the hero list with W and D. We are used to these keybinds meaning LEFT and RIGHT anyway and don't have to move our hands (yes I tested the arrow buttons and they *do* work) for them.
2) Let us confirm the hero choice with a keypress, having to hover and click a button is annoying and takes too long. I suggest the space bar.

Additional ideas: The kill cam and hero changing screen should be merged. Kill cam is the first thing that comes up after you die and it should remind you that you can change your hero every time you die. There currently is a message telling you that but already showing the hero switcher would be waaay faster.

Something like pic related

The respawn experience would benefit from this change, too. You have something to look at and can consider switching the hero because the choice is right in front of you instead of hidden behind another screen and having to press the H key first. When you are watching how you got killed you probably won't notice the "Press H to change hero" message and could forget about being able to change your hero. Maybe. It was the case for me but it obviously changes for routined players. I always had the feeling that the respawn timer is too long but that was only because I never thought about changing my hero.

And now I go back to enjoying the game :)

>>135207651

I like having the hero select hidden, I don't want to look at that shit every time I die. I can't even imagine how moving your mouse and taking half a second to click something would be an issue.

Personally I find that if you're having to switch characters more than once a game (at all really) then your problem is deeper than your comp and it's most likely that your team is either getting totally outskilled or you have dumbasses picking 3 attack Hanzos and you have no chance anyway.

Let's say it does, why the fuck would you want to join the game when it goes free? Have you not learned from TF2? The community literally shits itself upon going F2P, regardless of how good the community was prior. Due to this being a blizz game, the community is already pretty shit, but at the very least poorfags with shit internet will be locked the fuck out.

>>135207651
All in favor of 1. 2 I'm not really into the spacebar idea, needs to be a key out of the way like Enter. Still on keyboard for keyboard navigation, but prevents any accidental hero picks (not that they really matter in this game, but whatevs).

>>135223043

If they don't understand they will never understand, spamming and acting like a dick over the mic isn't going to change anything. All you are doing is managing to annoy the few decent players on your team who are actually trying.

That's a very important lesson you have to learn about multiplayer gaming these days, especially in FPS titles. People don't understand what to do and they cannot be taught, no matter how much you try to help them, baby them along, give them orders, explain it to them, nothing will change the fact that they will NEVER understand.

It feels like any time I sit down to play Overwatch, I can attribute some number of my deaths to a relatively randomly placed Scatter Arrow; that is, my opponent has a vague idea of where my allies and I are, and lets loose a Scatter Arrow and crosses his or her fingers. Summarized, here a few of my frustrations:

1) Scatter Arrow undermines the use of cover (a building block of any FPS)
2) It allows for coin flips in a game that is built around reading opponents and conquering high skill ceilings
3) Dying instantly to Scatter Arrow feels "unfair"

While I think those are good enough reasons to replace Scatter Arrow, I'd like to talk a little bit about how Scatter Arrow doesn't feel right from a lore and design perspective.

Hanzo has extensive training in three combat disciplines that require extraordinary precision: martial arts, swordplay, and bowmanship. Hanzo is an assassin. My gut is to say that any warrior of these three disciplines takes pride in carefully planned intention. Scatter Arrow allows a player to play without intention. Hanzo would never cross his fingers after taking a shot; he would line up his shot with care, and let loose an arrow with marked intention. That is not at all the player experience that comes from Scatter Arrow.

Hanzo is further described a warrior whose motivation is "to restore his honor," and the first thing we learn about him is that he "strives to prove himself as a warrior without peer." In my mind, there is no individual warrior who seeks to prove his skill with a smattering of arrows nearly randomly placed on a battlefield. Simply put, Scatter Arrow just doesn't feel Hanzo-y. It feels more like a designer needed a second ability and just jammed in the first thing he or she could think of that was passable.

I haven't played any Cawadooties past Modern Warfare 2 so I'll ask you since you clearly have, but is there any way in Cawadooty to place down healing beacons and shoot rockets from (not grenades) from your assault rifle? Is there any auto aim visor feature?
>>
>>135238565
If you're trying to claim that Soldier 76 isn't designed to feel familiar to standard shooters then you're actually wrong. The beacon is a slightly retooled regen, which most shooters have, and the rocket launcher is like the alt-weapon explosive that you'd often have. (Grenade, Rocket launcher, etc.)

It's not bad to like Soldier 76, but that's what he's built to be like.

What would you replace it with?
>>
>>135189764
There are times where having a Reinhardt is better then having a McCree. Everyone should be good at like, two of their favorite role, and then one hero from each other role.

If you're good with McCree's aim, then learn Zenyatta so you can also support. And Genji is another person with long range precision, which means your McCree aimer can now also be a better harasser for distracting the enemy team or infiltrating to take out entrenched defenses.


You need to be effective at more then one hero, or you're bad at this game.

>>135194583
Right now it's stacks against stacks. Almost never 6 vs. a bunch of solos. When I solo queue I mostly play solos, but when I pair up with my friend, everyone's in two's and three's, with maybe one solo that got jigsawed in.

This'll get even easier to balance with a larger playerbase.

Not just his own shit, other people's shit as well.
>>
>>135241862
Wrong. The matchmaking is purely first come first served, because blizzard refuses to put any real system in. So when a team learns they're against a full premade, they all leave, forcing another 6 into a game against that premade.

It's literally stacks vs anyone who hasn't learned to join a stack yet
>>
>>135243269
>>135242690

No, because when I'm alone I'm usually against solos, and when I'm with my friend, it's always stacks.
>>
>>135243361
Consider yourself lucky. The literal opposite happens to me and most others
>>
>>135244437
I guess, but it was pretty apparent that other people were definitely queued together on my team when I was queuing with someone. And it wasn't about how well they played, it was about how clearly they favored playing alongside other party members.
>>
>>135241862

I only play solo and I see 4-5 man stacks consistently, I frequently get matched up against streamer stacks and have to take a break so I can queue into something else. I fully believe that right now the matchmaking system is as >>135243269 says, first come first serve. You can't really make the excuse of too few people in the beta, the level/skill gaps in games is ridiculous and huge stacks vs full solo teams is not fun.
>>
>>135246693
It's not first come first serve, but if someone drops out then yeah, it becomes that. On top of that, the game likes to keep people together for a few games based on the idea that they'll learn how to play with each other, which can make for balance wonkiness.

MMR is definitely not putting people of the same skill together, and that's kinda shit, but it definitely favors stacks with stacks.

And is there anything more fucking annoying then getting cued with a streamer and havingf someone else in the game fawn all over them? I don't even know who these faggot are.
>>
>>135247186
There is no MMR or matchmaking system of any kind. It's completely first come first serve. Ever leave a game at the end just to get out back against the same team?

You can see his arm start the throw before you put it up, I can only assume that's how it's supposed to work and if you want to block it you'd need it up prior to him doing the throw.

Both abilities are bullshit anyway.

>>135231958

Whether a hook hits or not is determent on the click

Text is still muted. Test complete. You can unmute me now.

Speech still works fine. I guess this is what I get for being deliberately toxic to test the chat mute feature. It's a wonderful feature, honestly. I appreciate the fact that blizzard doesn't put up with trolling or other toxicity that might spill over from other games.

But what's the limit (if any) that is put on how long you are muted? Anyone else having/had this problem?

I have to say the silence threshold is so not ready for wide release. What constitutes toxicity, abusive chat, constructive criticism, passive aggressive recommendation, etc. I'm silenced and it hinders my team, but I deal with what I can. The ping system doesn't work for a game with this big of play area.

I was just testing it Blizzard, I was helping you guys, and it's getting to the point where I can't communicate with my team and it's hindering my ability to enjoy the game. You can unmute me now.
>>
>queue into stacks and streamer groups
>alright let me just afk a few hours then try again

In all honesty we didn't do too bad for being solo but it's still frustrating that I cannot escape this. I mean if Blizzard wants to give me 15 keys to hand out I can get all my friends in and stack harder than they are but it doesn't look like that will happen.

That might just be low priority ui stuff they have sitting on their list, like kill feeds were before.

>>
>>135258639
Maybe you misunderstood. The "early access" bonus to pre-purchasing is getting into the Open Beta two days earlier than anyone else.

Open Beta starts May 5th, right? For people whi pre-purchase the game, their "Early access" is two days before that. Meaning THEIR Open Beta Begins on May 3rd.

Pre-purchasing only gets you the Noire skin, and access to the early Open Beta.
>>
>>135260683

You have to purchase the Origin Edition of the game, the $60 version. Normal $40 version is just the game, no bonus skins, and pre-purchasing either one of these gives your the Noire skin.

blizzard has already shown that they're more than happy to listen to the bitching of shitters and noobs (Mercy being unable to fly to souls of dead allies because players were "accidentally targetting them too much")

blizzard reverted that decision, but it already shows that they're taking everyone's feedback into consideration, including the retards who don't know how to play the fucking game to begin with

if they would only have the balls to show player's MMR and skill level (top 10%, top 25%, etc.) that would make 99% of the complainers in the forums stfu

>>135302262

I can't even buy that, the game has been basically finished gameplay wise for well over 6 months. 95% of their work since the first beta has been on adding skins and a few maps. Ontop of that if you want it to be an alpha with a strict NDA you'd have to invite actual testers who can provide quality feedback instead of streamers and random invites.

There are dozens of ways to run a successful alpha/beta test and they somehow managed to make the wrong choice at every turn.

This might sound weird, but I honestly blame the small health pools in this game so far. I really feel like with higher health, a single person could contribute more, instead of just melting under fire from two people at once, or something.

It is weird though, I feel like TF2 does have a better sense of individuality than this game, maybe it's the bigger teams. as they ARE double what OW's teams are. Even in 9v9 TF2, a single person can seemingly make a bigger impact.

>>135345143
Literally none. Getting good at genji is god mode and whoever cried about his nerf should be removed from beta

Nothing really, the fact that he can reflect everything including explosives means that you can't even dunk on him as Pharah while flying.
>>
>>135336028
>get fucked over by shitty ice walls from my team mates a dozen times this week
I was playing mei earlier and there was 2 or 3 enemies down a hallway shooting at me so i blocked them off. The exact same time i pressed the ice wall i heard and saw a genji on my team pop his ult and try dash down the same hall.

I felt bad for a second cause i thought i fucked him over, but i guess i probably saved him from getting himself killed.
>>
>>135346962
Can he reflect Zarya's beam?
>>
>>135345143

He has zero true counters. His worst matchups are 50/50 or 40/60 in his favor. And a good Genji can escape anyone trying to kill him.

The only thing you can do is hope to find him killing someone else and you kill him before he kills that person. But if he kills that person he is either going to get away or kill you too. Likely kill you too.
>>
>>135347558

Not sure, and I should say deflect rockets instead of reflect, I think he just causes them to dissipate and do no damage rather than send it back towards the attacker.

Might be wrong on that though.
>>
>>135345143
>>135347558

I've played quite a bit of Genji now, started after the nerf. He is honestly OP when it comes to 1v1, but there's a few things he can't deflect

>Beams
>Tesla Canon
>Mei's ice spray

Note that he can deflect ults like zarya's gravity bomb and pharah's ult and reinhardt's wave thing as well as other genji's deflected objects

Honestly he can deflect anything else, and block melee attacks (you don't need to go melee range 90% of the times), he can be countered (maybe I ain't great) by using rockets and explosives and shoot his feet/surrounding while he is deflecting, but honestly good genji can time that shit

I feel like his ult doesn't come into play 95% of the times (atleast I only use it once at most per game), and he is definitely most vulnerable when using ult since he looses the range attack and have to go in

So far there hasn't been any characters that I feel like is a headache to play against since he's just so mobile and harassing is great as Genji (Defending in Kings row, Hanamura, Dorado) these maps are the ones where I feel the strongest, sometimes hollywood, generally just keep an eye on your own health if you are stationary and stick with your team should make it more difficult for genji to kill you

Don't get obsessed in killing him, he can escape very easily and if he decides to fight you, you are not gonna stand a great chance unless he's retarded, you'd probably won't run into a really good genji all the time and I think he's ability varies between maps, if you do, I think decent counter might be pharah if you know where he is, tracer and occasionally Torbjorn since the turret is very good at sniffing genji out which is why I rarely plays him in attack

That buff, just like winston's nerf is meant to upset. They want data on people's reaction. Not only subjective forum whining, I'm talking hard objective data across all matches in all maps.

That Genji I versed was going into 3v1s and coming out a-ok, it didn't help that he had a constant Orb of Harmony on him. For most of the game I was playing Roadhog. After I finally landed a hook on him, I then blew off my head with my own shotgun. So I switched around heroes a bit after that and tried to hunt the Zenyatta, but he was literally staying right at his base and I couldn't get close.

All in all, It was really just a case of crap team of solos vs a great stack.
>>
>>135348747

The downside with a Pharah counter is that the splash damage on her rockets is incredibly low, just hop into the test range and see how you can fire at targets feet and barely do any damage. I'm not sure as a whole how you can nerf Genji and still keep him playable, maybe his damage overall needs to be toned down but the forums would erupt if you even mentioned that.
>>
>>135324303
>No no, surely if *I'm* the sniper I'll be able to carry the team.

Like, what are people even thinking?
>>
>>135350245
>3v1s

I'm not skilled enough for that yet, not with out my ult and getting a jump on the enemy atleast. Genji does really shine against new players (maybe because most people /in/ are scrubs) but I find it very easily to literally stand in front of my opponent and throw shurikens till they shoot me and then deflect, then dash through them turn around and finish them off if they are still alive, a lot of people don't react quickly enough against this. One time I had

>Kings row defense
>Enemy decide to pick bastion
>turret down at the door of second floor of that hotel
>I snuck to the left of defenders alley and kills him easily
>he comes back for revenge
>kill him like I mentioned above
>he tries again and ults
>I wait around the corner
>he comes around and i deflect which kills him

I mainly won because he was a noob and I haven't really played mirrors against decent genji to call myself good yet, and I find genji to be much more successful at defending than attacking and is best to roam rather than use teamplay (I usually wait till a TF is over and everyone's ult is finished, and if any enemy is left I jump in with my ult to pick the remainders off), plus defending usually gives you symmetra and torb who can boost your health up

>>135350676
Not completely since you can fire at his feet (literally next to his feet or even on it, Im not clear) during deflect and still kill him, I've tested a few times against pharahs, also deflect don't land if you dont aim at the enemy while deflecting so it s kind of skill based

Genji doesn't make a good attacker since torb turret literally counters him, (almost every defender game picks torb) I find it quite difficult to fight torb's turret due to my low health and how quickly the fucking thing reacts, so the only way to fight against the turret is by deflecting, but usually a torb right next to it will make my life hard by repairing it

Mercy buff when? She's worse in every way comapred to Lucio. Players pause just long enough when she resses so enemies can line up a nice headshot and send them back to the grave.

She is the best healer though, Lucio is only better on king of the hill maps. I wouldn't mind if she got another ability though.

In general, good Tracers and Genji's are hard to take down, but they aren't really good at clearing objectives. Keep together as a team and force them to commit, and they'll either get blown out or be ineffective.

>>135352860
Mercy works well when your team is close enough to jump to, but not bunched up close enough for Lucio. She's better for focusing on your tanks.

Every game I get into tonight sees my team push up way too far on defense, get picked off trying to 1v6, then us lose because we have no one up to fend off the ensuing stampede.

I almost want to leave the game the moment I see one of my teammates leave the first chokepoint and go stand outside the enemy spawn at the start of the round.

This game is buggy AF and there is no matchmaking system at all. So you, with 5 random teammates and 6 random opponents possibly on a stack, are completely and utterly subject to RNG. Just play as best you can and realize there's literally nothing more you can do than that

My winrate is slowly moving further and further below .500 because I keep getting put on teams with people who have absolutely no idea what to do while facing up against stacks.

>>
>>135335117
>>135334887

Probably because the maps are mostly close quarters and about short and medium range while TF2 maps are overall balanced in areas size and combat range.

OW maps open fields are also a straight line with no objects that can be used to LoS while the flank routes requires you to go through small building rooms. All of that makes it so that it's very easy to be punished by a nearby enemy ally as it's way harder to miss / hard to outplay a 1v2 due to lack of LoS to use for your advantage and space to move in a way that makes it harder for enemies to aim while also not putting yourself against a corner and checkmating yourself.

Also hitbox models for DDs (the smallest) are still considerably bigger than TF2 hitbox models and Overwatch characters seems to move slower in general and definitely moved slower on the character move speed to projectile speed (even the slower ones, Phara's rockets and Junkrat's pills) compared to TF2 speed.

The little things really add up even if the TTK is about the same.
>>
>>135373378

Plus ammo count is high and reload is pratically instant, so anyone who finds you will find plenty of rooms for mistake, while in TF2 a 2nd person in your dick that showed up with half ammo count allows you for some outplay instead of you getting rekt most of the 1v2 scenarios.

Mercy, the more important element to Lucio and Zenyatta are their ultimates that can be used to directly counter enemy ults or be used for a group push. Mercy is all about sitting in the back and keeping people healed as damage comes in.

Reality check buddy, most online games that have MM are like this. Unless it has a huge player base online at all times, as in ten thousands, the game will not fuck premades in the benefit of solo players, makes even less sense in a heavily team based game.

Kaplan already said that if people didn't complain a lot about this, ranked would only be full premades versing. Now they're CONSIDERING implementing some sort of ranked soloQ, but don't expect much, due to the nature of the game, the way MM can't predict picks and so on, it will be shit no doubt, and that's on you, because you asked for this shit to be delivered to you.

Not him, but I would replace it with some kind of timed arrow. Like Hanzo will fire some straight beam of light that stops on any objects, and lasts for a few seconds. Then when an enemy walks into the beam, an arrow flies down the beam regardless of where Hanzo is. The speed of the arrow would have to be much greater than his base arrows in order to make it usable, but the damage would be the same. The balance comes from the fact that it's easy to see, but the power comes from the fact that Hanzo can lock down what is essentially a tube for a few seconds. This would give Hanzo a purely defensive tactical ability.

If you played HotS at all, this is exactly how it went in that game as well. The "top players" essentially just buttbuddy'd up with each other and rolled out in a group, rarely if ever playing alone or with other people, thus inflated their MMR and overall status or whatever.

Bastion and Torbjorn are hurting the game more than helping it. But it's not like people can't deal with them, the problem is when they're your teammates and they take all the kills , ruin the fun and make skill useless.

Ultimates that can kill everything destroy the skill in this game, I mean if you're good sniper with widow and you killed 4 people in a row that doesn't matter, because this pharah just used her ult on the enemy team and killed everyone.

Roles make the game get old too fast, not enough heroes and too many roles, not enough choice and if you choose a defense hero when you're attacking get ready to get insulted by your teammates. "Why would you pick Zenyatta in this map when Lucio is clearly better?"

Last week they sent a wave pretty late compared to their usual time, plus it was wednesday (today) instead of tuesday, so there is still hope. Also a patch is supposed to hit this week and they did both patch + wave on the same day last week, so there is still hope. That said, i assume the waves now are pretty small, as they've sent 3 waves on 4 weeks and that wasn't the case before.

Quick question, that I haven't seen asked.

Which console will have the largest and most active community for overwatch?
I'd prefer to get it for Xbox one because of friends and the elite controller. But if the game has a 3rd of the population as the ps4 version I'd just rather get that instead. Any ideas?

And yes, I have a PC. I only use that for work, space Sims, and tropico though. I can't into shooters on PC for some reason

honestly genji is simultaenously the best and worst thing about overwatch.


best as in he's the most fun, highest skillcap and coolest character in the game. once his ultimate gets some buffs (because it's by far the coolest in the game, just absolute dogshit) he'll be good to go.

worst in there's nothing worse than palying against a genji who knows what the fuck he's doing.

Xbone is dead, even Microsoft accepted. If you want a more legit answer, then just look up CoD/BF sale numbers for the bone and the PS, or any multiplat for that matter. Protip: things are heavily in favor of the PS. Any popular multiplatform will have a way larger playerbase, OW won't be different.

If you want more specifics about it, then ask the same question on /v/. Be sure to post a Xbone/Microsoft image so you will lure the console warriors, even the 360 drones from back in the days will give you a straight answer.

In the beta so far, over 80% of the games played had either all solo queued individuals or a maximum of a two person group. So the majority of games being played do not actually involve "premades".

Also, when it comes to a 6 person team facing off against others, these are what the stats look like:

6 v all individuals: 0.59% of games played in the beta
6 v 2 person group as largest group size: 0.81%
6 v 3: 0.44%
6 v 4: 0.25%
6 v 5: 0.18%
6 v 6: 0.11%

(the numbers for a 5 person premade look about the same)

>muh premades babies on suicide watch
>>
>>135463108

Considering I just played about 9 rounds and all of them had at least one 3 man group present I'd have to call those stats bullshit.

How about they just show everyone which players are grouped up? Let me hit tab and see a symbol showing who is in a party.
>>
>>135463335
How do you know they were grouped?
How doe sit matter if they were?
You think grouping up makes someone good at the game?
>>
>>135463564

>How do you know they were grouped?
Most are the same people I queue into every single day, seeing as most are streamers it's rather easy to double check by simply opening their stream and looking at their 4-5 man party. I also have the fact that they just come out and state they are in a group.

>How doe sit matter if they were?
Teamwork is key in OW and when you have a premade going against randoms it throws the balance off, when you have stacks of high triple digit players who are fairly decent at the game going up against randoms then it just becomes a stomp and is a huge waste of time.

>You think grouping up makes someone good at the game?
See above, if you don't understand the dynamics of team based multiplayer games then you should stop posting.
>>
>>135463564
>How do you know they were grouped?
don't be a retard, it's easy to notice when the same people are always playing together, especially when most of them are lvl 150+

>How doe sit matter if they were?
>You think grouping up makes someone good at the game?
ah yes, communication and synergy definitely don't matter

huh
>>
>>135459218
It does exist. High level is expected to carry his single digit team mates against the other team, because matchmaking is a group sum.

I mean, that's the reasoning. It's flawed because that Zenyatta's going to put the orb on the self-healing Roadhog, the Bastion's never going to push on a KOTH map, just like the Hanzo. Level 133 needs to be a Junkrat and hope he can just bombard the point to keep the enemy from getting comfortable.

Of course, they're in waiting mode, so, when the actual match starts they might change heroes.
>>
>>135461661
I pick a sniper or DPS character first to help convince people to not pick snipers, and to pick a support and a tank. Then I switch right before the match starts to a secondary tank or Lucio.

If no one on the team goes tank or support then I go Zenyatta, because if they won't group up then they can at least get 50 shield.
>>
>>135464351
That's fucking brilliant.
>>
Honestly, just remove Torbjorn. He's no fun to play. He's no fun to die to. His plays of the game are always a joke, and he's the most unoriginal hero in the game being a straight rip from WoW. Just put him out of his misery. (self.Overwatch)

Pretty sure they are just rushing to get a bandaid fix on it ASAP in time for the release, fuck it up opening week with unbalanced matches and retarded players who want to main a hero and call Bastion and Torbjorn op.

After like six months Kaplan and his team will have made the fixes they need for Overwatch to succeed, but by then it'll be a niche game that less than 10,000 people play.

Blizzard made this mistake with heroes of the storm and they certainly learned nothing with overwatch. If anything, they did even worse as tons of people are getting bored and burnt out from the hype.

What I feel Genji needs is a slight damage nerf, but a big buff to the Ult, like higher RoF and maybe some lifesteal. Health-wise he's fine.
>>
>>135476814
Yes his ULT is shit
It should kill 200 HP heroes in 2 hits, not 3
>>
A reminder that Blizzard literally removed the only way you can report people in the last patch

Based!
>>
>>135476870
it already does though. it does 125 damage pre swing, in theory it should kill someone with 200 hp in two swings, but if they're being healed by typical heals (zenyatta or mercy) that's an additional 50 hps

so it might be a third swing

but in any case his ultimate is easily /the/ worst ultimate in the game. literally all they need to do is give him another 50 health during the ult so it still sucks just not as bad, OR nerf the damage on long range shuris and make his ultimate not actually garbage some other way
>>
>>135476814
I feel like there needs to have some sort of life siphon component to it, or something.
>>
>>135476814

His ult damage is fine, he shreds non tanks before they can do anything. Couple that with the fact that he can still dash it's pretty ridiculous. You're not meant to be an immortal samurai doing 40,000 damage a hit, you can be countered like all the other ults (besides Mei).

I'd say he has the shallowest playstyle, extremely slow with weapons that require you to be point blank. If it wasn't for his ultimate being so good he'd be useless.

Did this game ever add some easier way to identify where your teammates are? That was my biggest issue with the beta last fall; its hard to tell and/or keep up with where your teammates are. I know you can see them through walls (I think), but is that all they're giving you? The game already has low as fuck fov. Are you supposed to be constantly be flicking round everywhere to get updates? Why don't they just add a fucking radar like most modern fps's use to solve this problem? It doesn't have to ever show enemies, just teammates is fine. I just think it would be a nice quality of life change.
