Overwatch - She who has the information, has the power - Games

[QUOTE=MissingGlitch;50857918]Is it bad that I say "ugh I hate this map" to a majority of the maps in the game? The only time I really don't say that is on Payload maps.[/QUOTE] Because a lot if not all the capture point maps are reskinned hanamura's with the stupid funnel into last shit.

[QUOTE=unlimi_Ted;50857532]This may be asking for a bit much but what I think would be a neat idea is if the game acknowledged combos for play of the game Like if you get a triple kill with Pharah's ult but you were able to do it thanks to your Reinhardt's setup Earthshatter, then you're both featured and the intro clip is like the two of you fist bumping or something It would have to somehow know that there was a significant contribution from both players and i can't say how it'd be defined but it would address what I said like two pages back about never feeling acknowledged as a support player. Plus it could lead to some funny character interactions, like Soldier 76 and Reaper just staring at each other, refusing to shake hands or maybe just silent nods [editline]9th August 2016[/editline] torbjorn having to jump to high five another character[/QUOTE] 2 out of 22 heroes, that's 231 different combinations... My guess is unless they [I]really[/I] want to spend a lot of time animating each of those highlight intros, they'll make a couple of standardized animation for each hero that can easily be combined with one another (I'd guess something without physical contact or a high-five at most). But yeah I wouldn't be surprised if something similar to what you suggest was in their pipeline. I recall them talking about planning something big for the PotGs.

Route 66 and all three of the KOTH maps are my favorites. Hanamura and Volskaya are the worst, imo.

we need more maps moon maps underwater maps or any maps without that bottlenecking bs

[QUOTE=Captain;50857953]Route 66 and all three of the KOTH maps are my favorites. Hanamura and Volskaya are the worst, imo.[/QUOTE] I wish I could just avoid KOTH all together. All they are is spam fests of ults and explosions.

This fucking retarded mentality of "just run away from Mei if you encounter her" is the most stupid thing I've heard in ages. Yes, run away from a character who can slow and freeze you in a matter of seconds if she so much as looks in your general direction. And even if you can get away from her, oh she has a ranged attack that's pretty much a lock on and can snipe you from miles away.

[QUOTE=unlimi_Ted;50857926]how would someone actually go about doing this?[/QUOTE] You'd probably be best off posting that idea on the main forums, where it can garner a lot of attention from other players, and will probably be seen by the devs.

[QUOTE=Altimor;50857889]I thought I was meh at Genji compared to other DPS heroes but I actually have my highest elims/min and damage/min on him by huge margins I am destined to be a Genji main[/QUOTE] I'm somehow 90th or high percentile in almost everything but about 60 in accuracy. Even weirder is I only hit people more often that 60% of Genjis, but get more crits than 80%, and I'm not even usually aiming for crits.

[QUOTE=MissingGlitch;50857918]Is it bad that I say "ugh I hate this map" to a majority of the maps in the game? The only time I really don't say that is on Payload maps.[/QUOTE] Nah, I feel the same way. I particularly hate Ilios. We're all getting cabin fever from the lack of new maps.

[QUOTE=Jarokwa;50858057]i understand the shared potg thing would be cool but it'd just be adding onto a gimmick that almost nobody really cares about anymore. i'm sure blizz has and always will have bigger priorities.[/QUOTE] but they can make money off rare ~special~ combo clips you can only get from chests yeah it's a gimmick but so was having a potg at all in the first place, it's not needed but there's not a huge reason not to do it either [editline]9th August 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=The Civ;50858012]You'd probably be best off posting that idea on the main forums, where it can garner a lot of attention from other players, and will probably be seen by the devs.[/QUOTE] [URL="http://us.battle.net/forums/en/overwatch/topic/20748304660?page=1"]Here goes[/URL]

I'm glad I started to learn Genji I now have literally every summer skin except his v:v:v

[QUOTE=usaokay;50858114]Imagine that they release a moon map quicker than Valve.[/QUOTE] They've already one upped them in comics, anythings possible at this point.

[QUOTE=usaokay;50858114]Imagine that they release a moon map quicker than Valve.[/QUOTE] That would be hilarious because there was rd_asteroid in TF2 but it suddenly disappeared.

I played a few matches with some friends of mine and I had a bunch of fun. After being discouraged by constant steam rolls I settled with playing bots for far too long, but I kicked myself in the ass and joined my friends and had a blast. No match was a clear steamroll and the teams were pretty evenly matched, I fought only 1 Genji, 2 Tracers, and absolutely no Widowmakers. I also learned that Reinhardt's shield does nothing to stop a Rip-Tire and that D.Va's ult range is incredibly and completely bullshit with that insane range. I don't know why I got myself into a rut by only playing with bots, but I think I managed to get myself out of it. Overwatch is so much more fun when playing online, I have no idea why I let myself get discouraged from playing online.

[QUOTE=Sift;50854977]I think the funniest thing about overwatch is that Mei needs a buff despite all the "rage" she causes. She's a total joke character and if I see one in comp that team is practically guaranteed to lose. Few high level PC players I've talked to also agree that she's just flat out bad. She's good at annoying the fuck out of people but that's about it.[/QUOTE] When I said Mei was bad I got dumbs, when I said PTR McCree was overpowered I got dumbs, when I said PTR S76 was underpowered and worse than McCree I got dumbs In a few weeks someone will say "Genji is actually balanced" and you'll all agree with them

[quote]Respawn time for defenders has been standardized to 10 seconds on all maps[/quote] Why exactly? Only defenders? 10 seconds is a long time to be taken out of the fight not even counting the fact that you need to run back to the objective, probably 20 seconds in total depending on the hero. [editline]9th August 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=Altimor;50858205]When I said Mei was bad I got dumbs, when I said PTR McCree was overpowered I got dumbs, when I said PTR S76 was underpowered and worse than McCree I got dumbs In a few weeks someone will say "Genji is actually balanced" and you'll all agree with them[/QUOTE] I don't think there was one person here that disagreed about PTR McCree being overpowered.

I have an idea of Support Highlight Intros Like Ana's Ultimate effects on a Genji POTG intro or maybe a duo intro where they pose and stuff

ever since I dropped Reaper's plague doctor skin I've been really convinced I am a Reaper main why I'll have you know that 6 eliminations for a 3 round KOTH game is perfectly acceptable

[QUOTE=Dick Slamfist;50858242]ever since I dropped Reaper's plague doctor skin I've been really convinced I am a Reaper main why I'll have you know that 6 eliminations for a 3 round KOTH game is perfectly acceptable[/QUOTE] I mean...it's something.

[QUOTE=RenegadeCop;50858381]Probably because on the last point, defenders spawn right next to the damn thing.[/QUOTE] Attackers pretty much always win regardless.

[QUOTE=RenegadeCop;50858381]Probably because on the last point, defenders spawn right next to the damn thing.[/QUOTE] Yeah but 8 second spawn time in Overtime was already fucking ridiculous, 10 seconds is seriously too much.

[QUOTE=RenegadeCop;50858406]I mean, it's overtime. It's suppose to be the last brawl, the last push. No sense in delaying the game forever with freshly-spawning defenders. If attackers push hard enough to beat a 10 second timer in overtime, they've earned it.[/QUOTE] Except this isn't Overtime, it's standardized across the board. 8 seconds is what they changed it to in Overtime and now it's 10 seconds regardless of Overtime or not.

No new brawl is lame.

It makes me think every Mei you come across just stands still while they try and freeze you. I don't think anyone disagreed that PTR McCree was op, and I only disagreed when you said S76 was completely useless now, because hes not. [editline]10th August 2016[/editline] I havent been having too much trouble with Mei though, I just dont see her much anymore. I do agree with you that the rest of her skills are pretty bad though, Altimor.

As a person that is just now trying to learn how to play Tracer. This made me happy. [t]http://i.imgur.com/NBGrMR3.png[/t] I even got my first Tracer PoTG so that was nice.

And just because you're unable to kill a Mei while being slowed doesn't mean it's impossible. EDIT: There's also nothing else you can do if you don't have a mobility skill or shield
