Overwatch- After 2 long years, Symmetra is finally good. - Games

I can see the reasoning behind the need for scrap for armor. Brigitte is a support, Torb isn't. Scrap dropping from dead enemies forces Torb to leave his turret. In theory his kit is balanced around the fact that he can't heal teammates without exposing himself.

I'd be fine with that if Torb actually had 200 hp. Since everyone headshots, he doesn't really last long in a fight.

Been having issues where my pc just locks up/comes to a crawl every few minutes when playing overwatch. Each lockup lasts for a few seconds... Used to have it before but updating my gpu drivers fixed that... now it's no longer fixing it it seems... Impossible to play comp like this, already lost well over 150 SR because of it... Any ideas?

Got chat banned by a premade of 4. Me (Moira) and a RH were making fun of a widowmaker who couldn't kill/hit a single thing and me and RH somehow the most kills and damage with me with double gold and him with double silver. I don't care that I was chat banned (hardly chat at all really, it was just funny roasting a shit widow with another tank), what I do care about is the business card size window covering my screen to tell me I've been chat banned.

Overwatch is a hugbox and don't you forget it.

Are you playing in windowed mode? That caused slowdowns for me.

I don't think its a hugbox thing because Dota uses a similar system, if a certain number of people in a game all report the same person it auto punishes the account because it just assumes the person did something bad.

Fullscreen windowed I believe, i'll have to check next time i'm ingame...

You'd have to post a video for us to be sure

It’s fine, it’s nothing to be suspicious about. I’ve seen gameplay of Seagull playing as roadhog walking up to Genji where similar stuff happened the Genji, seeing hog, dashes through him to escape on the other side. Seagull immediately does a blind 180 while pressing hook and actually catches him, both players were shocked

Within a single frame? I'm not talking "Wow that was fast" I'm talking "Wow that was literally instantaneous".

Can we increase Widowmaker's grappling hook cooldown to like fucking 30 seconds or something? It's honestly absurd how she can escape so much shit and not get penalized for it.

At the same time though, the grapple hook logic is garbage and will sometimes grapple you to the wrong place and completely waste it

Sure sometimes you may not be able to get to your intended sniping location because of that, but I have never seen anyone die because "oops, grappled on to the wrong thing".

Winston is supposed to be her counter, but she can just zip away as soon as he comes flying in. WM in general is a shit hero and I rather her be reworked entirely than just keep a sniper for sniper's sake.

Just so you know, the amount of giveway of the Grappling Hook can be finetuned to your liking by changing the Grappling Hook Sensitivity setting in the options. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0ED6aT8JDo

Nice. I'm not a widow main by any stretch but I never knew that setting could be changed. I always thought it was due to only some areas being grapple-able That solves my gripe with that hero then

It be fine if it had a low CD if she couldn't use it in combat.

Do we know the next patch goes live? I had to take a break from OW because I was getting a little burnt out but the new sym changes and the other stuff intrigues me

No date has been given yet.

We have changes going in for Sombra for our July patch. Most likely, the changes will show up on the PTR sometime next week or soon after that. They are pretty significant. I’m not going to detail the changes for now as they are still in flux. But playtesting has gone well and we’re eager to improve her. Another wave of Sombra changes incoming.

Here's to hoping they're good ones and not just changes that placer her in an even worse state than she was before Sombra 2.0. Albeit, the changes that made her worse than before 2.0 were the changes that came after 2.0, rather than 2.0 itself.

The big problem with Sombra will always be that her main skillset is UP in qp and most forms of comp, but try fighting a enemy Sombra in a six-stack where everybody has a mic and communicates. Still cautiously optimistic though.

Hopefully these changes will make her able to make her own impact even without communication, but I'm not entirely sure how the hacking would be geared to accommodate that. In these past few iterations, Sombra's role is to make things 'easier' for her team, like creating openings that would otherwise require more effort (breaking a Reinhardt shield, for example), making an annoying flanker completely vulnerable (Tracer without blink, Genji without dash/deflect/cyberagility), and completely flipping the tides (EMP whole team.) This assumes your team is slightly competent and you have strong communication, however (which is why she is chosen in OWL on occasion) and you will rarely see a Sombra 'carry' in the sense of slaughtering the enemy team; She only makes that easier for her team and has no other real 'offensive' capabilities other than her SMG. Likewise I'm cautiously optimistic also.

I just hope they don't make EMP a standard abilitiy.

Just make her TF2 spy please

Why is Hammond real but Junkerqueen isn't? This is some bullshit if I ever saw it.

Theres a racist joke to be made here somewhere.

If anyone wants to play together, hit me up. Trying to find groups to team up with for comp or whatever, it's turning out to be hard. ShaunKL#1151

Some people on Twitter are speculating that the poster to the right of the scene (underneath the "POWER for new horizons" one) says "SCRAP YARD" and that the silhouette figure on it is the Junker Queen.
