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

Just had a marvelous game with an aimboting widow on enemy. The guy didn't even bother to make it less obvious than snapping to targets head and shoot in split second.

[QUOTE=Altimor;50806426]Well there's nothing wrong with those picks aside from having 3 DPS[/QUOTE] Having one attack class on defense is good, but typically any more than that thins your team to shit.

[QUOTE=Altimor;50806426]I almost never see better players in quick play. Well there's nothing wrong with those picks aside from having 3 DPS[/QUOTE] B-b-but they're offense heroes!!!

[QUOTE=Shark Bones;50806429]Having one attack class on defense is good, but typically any more than that thins your team to shit.[/QUOTE] Every hero in the defense category with the exception of Junkrat and Widowmaker is nearly worthless, and those two are niche. Static defense gets crushed by a coordinated team using speed boost to get through chokes and by tanks (especially D.Va who doesn't have to worry about shield health). This game values high mobility and damage.

[QUOTE=Shark Bones;50806429]Having one attack class on defense is good, but typically any more than that thins your team to shit.[/QUOTE] Two tanks, two supports and two offense classes is pretty solid even on defense.

Has Blizzard stated if they plan to continuously release new heroes? Or only have a handful of heroes that still need some kinks worked out?

I know I've said it before but I'll say it again: Mei is absolute cancer/AIDS/etc but I just hate D.Va more than I could ever hate Mei Between her annoying demeanor and her nauseating voice and the fact that as a tank I can never get to cover from her ult fast enough and the fact that literally as any hero I have no idea how to take her on Just Ugh Ughhhhhh

[QUOTE=Shark Bones;50806506]I'd say the only useless defense character is Bastion.[/QUOTE] I've found that Bastion has a legitimate use (at least in rank 75-ish games) if you can take the team by surprise and keep him alive long enough to do his job. A premade group I often play with go "secret bastion strats" when we're losing badly as a sort of last resort and it works surprisingly well. EDIT: Sort of reminds me of this really even Hanamura match we were playign against another premade, where we had on previous rounds went speedboost then right from the gate with resounding success and we were planning on that for our last attack as well. However, while running towards the chokepoint, I heard their Bastion do the Hello emote on the other side of the wall so we instead boosted straight to left, with me leading and charging the Bastion with Reinhardt away before he could get anything done. We won that round even faster than others, all because of the Hello emote.

[QUOTE=Shark Bones;50806506]I'd say the only useless defense character is Bastion.[/QUOTE] Torb, while having a decent gun, still needs his turret to be better than standard DPS classes, and without ult his turret is easily destroyed and takes too much time to put back up during a push. Mei's freeze takes a relatively long time and her icicles are delayed fire and have a low fire rate. Only one map is made in a way that her wall excels (King's Row) and even on that map most of the teams trying her seem to be failing. Hanzo suffers from consistency issues at long range due to relying on slow projectiles that require you to guess to hit someone who's strafing and ducking. At mid or close range he dies easily because drawing his bow makes him very easy to hit. His abilities are both very good, but the cooldowns are too long to rely on them.

This shouldn't be difficult at all

Her slowdown is easily one of the most overpowered things in the entire game. If she touches you once, you are almost guaranteed to be killed.

Especially if you're McCree or Reaper.

[QUOTE=Judas;50806525]is this easy mode?[/QUOTE] stop please no

Also if you run Mei you need to have a Reaper to justify the pick due to his synergy with the slowdown, but his low range means he isn't versatile enough to be the only dedicated damage dealer. Optimally you still end up having two offense heroes with a Mei.

[QUOTE=Altimor;50806577]Yeah, but you could also just kill them if you're that close and have teammates around. Especially if you're McCree or Reaper.[/QUOTE] I dunno, I play Mei a lot like I play Reaper. Her self-freeze can be used to bait tons of stuff, like McCree's grenade or Roadhog's hook. The only characters that can really take her up close are Tracer or Reaper.

You can also use the flashbang as late as possible with McCree if they're trying to freeze you so they have to stop the freeze to ice block, but I find the fight usually ends before they get close to freezing or before they can get their icicles off.

[QUOTE=Judas;50806628]if you're playing genji, roadhog, dva, mcree, ana, or pharah and you lose to a mei at close range you should honestly be embarrassed[/QUOTE] That's very nice and all but having precise aim when her freezing messes with your mouse sensitivity isn't that easy

[QUOTE=*Freezorg*;50806666]That's very nice and all but having precise aim when her freezing messes with your mouse sensitivity isn't that easy[/QUOTE] While it's bullshit since it penalizes having low sensitivity relative to your mousepad space, the effect is pretty small.
