[QUOTE=ZnT00;50345830]"Silence" is what you call an effect that temporarily removes the target's abilities, right? If so, wouldn't a hero who had that be a massive hard-counter to Reinhardt and similar heroes?[/QUOTE]
If you make it a skill shot projectile silence not so much. His shield would just eat it, so it'd require flanking him to be effective. Of once his shield is down he has a problem, but hopefully his team will prevent that and support his recovery.
Generally in game like this, something like a silence would just be 100% unfun to play against.
It's the same reason people dislike fighting Mei. In a movement based game, being slowed and frozen isn't fun. In an ability-based game, being silenced isn't fun.
[QUOTE=CrossNgen;50345826]That would make it a terrible life decision.[/QUOTE]
Doesn't that just describe D.va in general though?

Just tweak the silence effect to be more like Dota 2's Faceless Void's Time Dilation.
What it is that it temporarily pauses cooldowns instead of instantly silencing.
[QUOTE=ZnT00;50345863]Specifically though, if the enemy team was all hiding behind a Rein's shield, and he got silenced, they would get shredded near instantly. A silence's effectiveness varies so much from hero to hero that I don't feel like it belongs in Overwatch.[/QUOTE]
shoot rein's shield with bastion and it pops in a few seconds, saturate the area with grenades/rockets/mines and surround the team, there's a dozen things to do about a rein shield
[QUOTE=Grandzeit;50345849]They'd also be on-par with Mei. Nothing fun about having your control taken away from you.
Junkrat's Steel Trap does "silence", however.[/QUOTE]
I don't think it does anything but pin you in place for a second? Even if it does cancel skills or silence the use of them for its duration, it's situational and requires the ememy player to fall into it, it's not a focus of his ability at all and wouldn't be considered an effective counter so much as a little perk
[QUOTE=Grandzeit;50345849]Junkrat's Steel Trap does "silence", however.[/QUOTE]
It's just a root that deal 80 damage, you can still look, shoot, and use abilities.
[QUOTE=dai;50345902]shoot rein's shield with bastion and it pops in like 2 or 3 seconds. [/QUOTE]
Firing a simple silencing projectile from the flank would be much easier to pull off than getting a Bastion safely set up on the front line for 2 or 3 seconds, though

cc is lame, keep as much of it out of my holy game as possible
if I wanted cc, i'd play a moba
who cares about silencing
I just wanna shoot random rockets while flying around and raining justice for above.

"cc"...?
[QUOTE=dai;50345902]shoot rein's shield with bastion and it pops in like 2 or 3 seconds. [/QUOTE]
this is a lot more situational than you're giving it credit for. it depends entirely on the map and where people are located. reinhardt can fuck over a bastion if the bastion is distracted for even a second
[QUOTE=ZnT00;50345917]"cc"...?[/QUOTE]
crowd control

Nevermind, it just roots people and prevent movement-based abilities.
I didn't get to play as much Junkrat as I would've liked.
Also I didn't say it's annoying. It's easy to spot, can be shot and you rarely see Ratjunk players using them frequently, at least from my experience.
[QUOTE=ZnT00;50345917]"cc"...?[/QUOTE]
crowd control, aka any type of mobility disruption really
that being said, overwatch has a ton of CC so i dont really know what he's talking about

So, the Overwatch withdrawal is killing me.
Now, remember when i asked for the D.Va's pain and death sounds? The result is finally here
[video=youtube;nUYEsDZO9go]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUYEsDZO9go[/video]
Couldn't find all of the files (she lacks lots of Hello lines and probably others) and couldn't show everything (She has fall sounds and lots of taunt sounds), but yeah, its done.
I may release the sounds thing when Blizzard decides to lift its DCMA (not that i would get in trouble in the first place, its just there's still sounds to be found/fix)

I would rather spend my money on dat overwatch keyboard with flashing abilitly actions between the keys
Why pay for one when you can get one for free by spending $100+ at taco bell.
what the fuck, it doesn't even say it supports Dolby 7.1 let alone 5.1
Can't you just keep using the same code repeatedly? I was able to use the same code as someone else, and one person in the group that tried it actually won.
