T.racer is dead! DEAD

Heal me

Why is it that when your team wins the teamfight, instead of staying on the point and maybe pushing a little outwards and setting up defense they decide to push ALL THE WAY into the enemy spawn and get their shit kicked in?

>>182500081
That's called moving into the next skill tier and being matched with people the game thinks are on your level.

When I first saw Doomfist, I kind of expected that one of his skins would look like Jack from Tekken. I would have been disappointed if that hadn't been the case.

What if 1 tick was unlocked every time 5 enemies died on 2CP?
For example, you kill 5 people on point B, but the 6th has some insane stall and you get 2CP'd after. This would result in the 1st tick being unlocked. Now 15sec after no one from your team is on the point, the capture gauge goes to 1st stick. This would work for 2nd tick too, but not for the third one.

Repeating from the last thread, why the fuck do people pick more squishy DPS whenever the team is struggling to get through an area covered by Torbjorn?

I see it every time, the team is held at a choke by Torb and one of the healers or tanks decides "DPS aren't doing this so it's my job, I'll switch to DPS", not realising they're making the team far easier to keep out because Torbjorn specifically exists to pressure squishies and fewer tanks and healers means people are less likely to commit to a push.

>>182500604

That's exactly what top pro teams do on certain maps. I think kings row is the worst offender because of how after you cap the point some people will get stuck in the first defense spawn and the rest will be coming from the back spawn so you can get easy pick offs on the people who spawned earlier and push the payload very far before they can contest.

Reinhardt
Hammer
Swing speed increased by ~10%. On top of the swing speed increase, we've gone through and tweaked many timings and other things about the Hammer to make it more responsive. Overall it should feel a lot better to swing and make contact with enemies.

Charge
Impacting another charging hero (Doomfist or Reinhardt) no longer deals damage to both characters, but still causes a knockdown on both.

Also if you read the patch notes they mention you can only slam lower, which is why it won't work for you, you're using the ability incorrectly. You're supposed to aim downwards with it.

>Maximum activation height added to Seismic Slam
>can no longer be used when above ~2 meters
>meaning no more uppercut into slam
>meaning no more super mobility
>ground marker removed

Literally all of that is incorrect. You can still uppercut into slam, you can use it from any height you just have to actually aim it instead of blindly mashing the button while looking ahead, there's no "max activation height"(I jumped off the highest point in training room and did an uppercut -> slam and it worked fine), mobility is still pretty high they just nerfed his vertical movement a bit, and the ground marker is still there.
So tell me again what I didn't properly asses in my counter points?

If it's a hero with movement skills, load maps into custom alone and jump around them to see how you can get around. Learn shit like jumping around the map with tracer blink or genji dash of sombra teleporter, or where you can get up to with Pharah.

Hey guys, Jeff from the Overwatch team here.
We don't think its fun to play Mercy to default hiding all the time, so we made it impossible for anyone to escape graviton. So now that Mercy's only choice is to hide, she'll do that more often.

Seriously though, what were they thinking? Are they just trying to buff random heroes to change the meta for everyone except GM?

>>182504180
They said it's a junk "triggered" effect, so only Edgy mist and Orisa green puke work.
Although I'm not sure about Orisa, I know she can walk the trap when already fortified, but what about using it when trapped?

>>182504521
I want to lick a sweaty Zarya. Probably tastes like strawberry protein shakes.

>>182504590
Well actually what they are doing is trying to bring every hero to pharah levels, where without much changes she falls in and out of meta. What basically equates to "sutiationally good", which is what every hero in this game should be, since overwatch is based around counterpicking, not just tearing through everything as Hog, without ever needing to swap.
Mercy is based by design, her whole stupid ultimate should be reworked, it just doesn't fucking suit this game.

Supports. You can 1 clip 200 HP heroes although realistically you'll 2 clip them. But that's good enough.

That's because for some weird reason trap just fucking locks you in space and time. Graviton doesn't do that, it pulls you to an area, and wraith form works fine.

Tell that to the <1% played heroes like bastion and trashmouse.

Blizzard says they want to correct certain behavior, so they implement changes which strongly reinforces that behavior. They didn't like roadhog having a 1shot ability, so they made doomfist with 2.

They don't want Mercy hiding and rezzing, so they pretty much force her. People are tired of Dva eating ults, now Dva will stare at zarya to eat gravitons. It just boggles the snoggle.

Fly around and hold right click when the enemy team ults or does anything towards your team. Hold right click to cover your allies ulting. Use your ult to deny area, either from the enemy team capping a point or to prevent the enemy team from leaving spawn for a few seconds. Only use ult when your team is behind to follow up.

You're in the back and just mindlessly heal whomever. There's nothing engaging about her and most of the support cast really.

You want to be around your team and use your speed to hit the enemy hard while your team engages and pick a support or something before they know what happened. Can also just mop up what your team is focusing on.

- Learn to manage Defense Matrix.
- Learn to track enemy ultimates, because it heavily impacts how you should do the above. The better you are at knowing which enemies have ults, the better DM will be for you.
- Use her burst damage and chasing ability from boosters+melee+guns to kill escapers (note: Genji takes damage if you fly into him with your boosters -even while he's Deflecting-).
- Self Destruct is a zoning tool if you're not comboing it with another ult like Sombra EMP or Zarya Graviton. Use it to force people off a point or out of an area. Any kills due to this are a bonus.

Your general job is to deny the enemy team of things. Deny their escapes by chasing and bursting them. Deny their kills and let your team escape by defense matrixing. Deny their ults by eating them with DM.

Skillset is on the player, not the hero. If you think she's boring standing in the back pressing M1, you're doing it wrong.

>This is after he was nerfed and people didn't like playing him though.
Because he was nearly 100% pick rate, and the most nerfed hero in the game until he was borderline useless, but his speedboost being unique allowed a 90%+ pickrate for games. Blizzard wanted to (in their own words) make him less of a "must pick" hero. So he went from 94% pick rate, to 97% pick rate. Their testers are factually retarded changing things because they don't actually see what the player base wants or needs.

Thanks for the sextuple kill on your team, Zarya.

wish Doomfist had a legendary that still looked like him, like every other hero does.

>>182505961
On the contrary, I don't think widow actually needs the mine, every widow I've seen just throws that thing away and forgets about it. But it was in cinematic, so theres no way they will abandon it

>"omg who picks monkey in quick play"
The fact that I've seen that phrase multiple times honestly fucking scares me. These people are actually annoyed that someone ISN'T playing selfishly and is actually counterpicking and trying to work as a team. Like what the actual fuck.

Sniper players have the most fucking absurd mindsets holy shit

Rapist hero when?

Junkrat does have mobility. His ult too, it can climb up walls.

He said "rapist", not "raped".

that would be Reaper, if he was any good

People don't use the mine because it reveals their location. Same reason why they won't ult until they need it to find someone who escaped, people can tell where she is when she ults. There's honestly only a few good places she can reach on every map since they're all so small and closterphobic

Was pre-nerf McCree how to do a sniper character properly?

>>182507265
Sombra: Isn't it a little embarassing to get beaten up by a monkey?
Doomfist: Have you ever been hit by a giant, genetically engineered gorilla? I could arrange it for you...

>>182507329
No, it was a how to make a character effectives at every range

Symmetra is the only hero with a full-time job the rest are all off playing vigilante while claiming their welfare checks to fund it.

He had no range dropoff, and his rightclick could headshot and its spread was smaller. You could literally flashbang roadhog, rightclick his face, and he'd be dead. He was the ultimate tank stopper.

2 headshots to widow and she too was dead, even at 500m away.

>>182505564
I hope you're right, friend. I really do. I'd be lying if I said this was the first game that made me feel this way but it is the only game that's made me feel it this strongly.

You are now manually aware Zarya is a great dive tank. She has no mobility but drops a bubble on diving dps and they're invulnerable for a couple seconds. Meanwhile she can still bubble herself if their defense decides to try and stop the lower mobility heroes.

There are people on the overwatch forums right now who want sombra to be nerfed

The Seismic slam nerf was predictable, it was clear that it was not meant to be used to reach higher places, DF just lost a third of his mobility.
Reaper buff is one that people have been asking for it for quite some time
That Zarya buff though

>>182507890
This would be good progression for her in the story. This couldn't be backstory for several factors but I think that's obvious.

Only problem is, that this would leave us exactly where we are now. With Symm not really "knowing" what to do next.

That would make a good short tho.

>>182500176
she's not dead, she just flickers in and out across space-time like Winston Niles Rumfoord if youve read that one book

On a scale of 1 to 10, how fucked are we due to that Graviton Surge buff?

>>182507839
Well it happened to me a lot in all the multiplayer games. TF2, Eve, WoW, everywhere. Then I discovered overwatch, became a toxic support main and now I just don't fucking care about the precious feelings of other people, and so the weight of this supposed "responsibility" just drops by itself.
You don't have to force this attitude on yourself, it will come naturally in time. Just play the game if you like it

>>182507503
Zarya is in the Russian army so she's got a job, same as D.va who's a professional gamer and idol on top of fighting omnics. Lucio is a DJ, Pharah works in security, Mercy is still a doctor, and I assume Torbjorn is still picking up work as an engineer.

>REAPER
> Whenever an enemy dies the fallen hero will drop a "soul" (the little red/orange floaty globe things), which Reaper can pick up to replenish his health. The orb will automatically float towards him if it's within ~5 meters of him (unless he's at full health).
> Only Reaper can see souls, but if there's two Reapers in the game, either one can pick up the souls.

what do they mean by this
