Overwatch - Scientists baffled by team's ability to fuck up every time

[Shadaez]

go through the building if that's such a big deal

[Anderan]

I know levels don't inherently mean skill but it would be nice if the game would stop giving me teams that have literally half the playtime combined as the other team. The team with nothing but level 70+ players has an advantage over a team full of level 20-40s purely through experience. Yea the beta was a thing but I would assume most of the people that played it extensively have pretty well reached high levels by this point.

I wish I could stop getting matched with level 90+ on my team that are dumber than a day one player.

Prestige basically. So he's actually level 100+.

[Halflight]

Come to think of it, I've never tried to play Overwatch with the Italian dubbing, I should check it out

i just played bastion for the first time and was able to get play of the game what a shocker

I asked a prestiged person about EXP rates, which apparently reset with prestige as well.

So basically, prestige equals getting 22 loot boxes easier.

I swear every time I win as Mercy the game just puts me on the opposing team the next game

[E = MC Hammer]

iirc it's 100+ is one star, 200+ is two stars, 300+ is silver border no stars, then 2 silver, then gold, then 2 gold, then diamond

or something

[QUOTE=E = MC Hammer;50476488]iirc it's 100+ is one star, 200+ is two stars, 300+ is silver border no stars, then 2 silver, then gold, then 2 gold, then diamond

You go through three main tiers: Bronze, Silver, Gold

Each main tier got 6 sub-tiers: No stars, 1 star, 2 stars, 3 stars, 4 stars, 5 stars

Each sub-tier is 100 levels long, so a main tier is 600 levels, reaching the final prestige takes 1790 levels. After that you can continue getting levels indefinitely, but will no longer prestige/reset.

I thought you need to earn 4/5 stars before getting a new coloured border

I'd rather they nerf McCree's flashbang radius than his fan. There is no reason it needs to be undodgeable without mobility skills, go around corners, and go over Reinhardt's shield.

[E = MC Hammer]

i could have sworn there was a level above gold though

Not accurate.

The first grey tier was removed and the "no star" version of bronze/silver/gold is missing.

I wondered why I kept finding different versions every time I'd google it when someone asked about the portraits.

[ulvemann43]

Anyone up for some games?

[Altimor]

(skip the intro)
Apparently Mei will freeze her target with her primary fire after it does 70 damage, which is about 1.5 seconds. Also not being hit by the beam for two seconds resets the damage needed to freeze back to 70. Does having two Meis hitting the target halve the time required to freeze, or does each Mei have their own freeze counter?

Also a lot of interesting info on her times to kill all characters (note that due to math errors the times to kill are actually 3 times shorter as mentioned in the video comments) and amount of icicles needed after freezing someone. Actually this whole channel has some good info.

Yes I am very salty about Mei if you can't tell by now.

[QUOTE=greeley;50471846]Had a game the other day where all of our opponents went Mei.

I've never been so infuriated at a game before. They all just Ice-walled us in for ages.[/QUOTE]

I had the same yesterday.

They were all Mei besides one McCree. I played Tracer and completely stomped them since I would just blink away any time they tried to freeze me and end up on their flank.

They then all changed to Bastion and went all Turret spam mode when we our Payload was near the objective.

Again I managed to stomp them as Tracer as I was blinking around to dodge their shots. My other team members took advantage of the distraction I caused and destroyed them all.

Felt pretty good.

I don't play Tracer very often but I've been her a few times in this random brawl - how does her E ability work? Like, I thought it would move you back to where you were before pressing shift three times but it doesn't always seem to do that

What the fuck did you just fucking say about mechs, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in MEKA, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on the ominics, and I have over 300 confirmed ults. I am trained in booster warfare and I’m the top tank in the entire game. You are nothing to me but just another elimination (+100 ). I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this map, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying "DIE, DIE, DIE!!!" to my team? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of mech pilots across South Korea and no one can hide from Widowmaker's sight so you better prepare for the ultimate, maggot. The ultimate that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your team. You’re fucking dead, Reaper. I can boost anywhere, anytime, and I can eliminate you over seven hundred times, and that’s just with my shitty fusion cannons. Not only am I extensively trained in out-of-mech combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of MEKA and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable team off the face of the continent, you little feeder. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn noob. I will shit explosions all over you and you will drown in them. Nerf this, kiddo.

It's where you were three seconds ago. You also recover health to three seconds ago and automatically reload. You can never lose health from using it.
