Overwatch - It's Actually a Trick To Make Everyone Play HotS, also BUY - Games

[QUOTE=MissingGlitch;52301474]Quick play: "play against people of your skill level" Explain why I am versing full teams of silver border pro players with golden weapons that never miss a shot. I can't even fucking aim well and you think I have the skills to take on those people?[/QUOTE] don't undersell yourself, skills and playtime are two different things

I can basically confirm that koth is a priority pick in comp.

[QUOTE=Rolond Returns;52301491]don't undersell yourself, skills and playtime are two different things[/QUOTE] I have been spawn camped 3 games in a row.

also hog's fine, sometimes i get hooked as soon as i enter a fight and I'm like oh shit, but then I remember that's what hog does, outside of that i don't have many problems with him, you just gotta keep range and cover or use friendly tanks as meatshields and you're fine

Idk if I'm just being dumb from just waking up but isn't that a bit fucked? The fact that it took roadhog 2 shots to kill someone that low on HP?

quickplay: ah here, you should be playing with masters competitive: ah here, you should be playing with golds :thinking:

[t]https://i.imgur.com/rpLaeL0.jpg[/t] GEEE I wonder who is gonna win this match. Hint: It wasn't us. We couldn't even make it out of spawn. Again. Lets make that a 4th match in a row of not being able to make it out of spawn.

[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;52300463]insane idea but how about this keep the damage nerf roadhog heal makes it so the next shot deals 25% more damage, duration 3 seconds one shot kill hooks are now well telegraphed and you can go back to one hitting targets[/QUOTE] I'm not sure if this is the ideal answer but I do think that if blizzard intends to move Roadhog away from his purely 1v1 playstyle then his E really needs to be changed, since it seems tailor made for a guy that wouldn't be around his teammates [editline]1st June 2017[/editline] My idea is that it would heal slightly less/have a longer cooldown but also give him a temporary buff that reduces all damage for a brief time, allowing him to be a big meatshield and reducing how much of an ult battery he is when he exposes himself [sp]ideally though I'd like them to just scrap it and replace it with something totally new like they did with symmetra's E[/sp]

Up to 3033. Yay. All my bitching has paid off. Gonna be a good season.

after thinking of it a lot more i really like the idea of roadhog being able to toggle between ally-only or enemy-only hooks. the toggle itself is instant and each hook runs on their own cooldown. can you imagine if roadhog could pull a teammate out of a black hole or out of turret range? there's some really cool things you can do there. would actually give him the ability to help his teammates directly like other tanks do

You just know Roadhog will keep pulling teammates off cliffs if that were the case.

[QUOTE=MissingGlitch;52301872]You just know Roadhog will keep pulling teammates off cliffs if that were the case.[/QUOTE] Shit that's true. They could make it so you can only hook teammates while grounded maybe. Even then that doesn't solve the problem completely.

Maybe to encourage players to stay out of Hog's line of sight (and reduce the hook combo problem as a result), give him a special property where he takes increased damage from behind. Players who get the drop on Hog - Reaper especially - get a big advantage, so naturally they'll try to do that more, rather than facing him head-on and getting wrecked. Meanwhile, Hog players need to be more mindful of their surroundings and use their heal more carefully, or rely on teammates to watch their back while they're making a push. In both cases, this would encourage better, smarter player behavior, conditioning others to make more of an effort to flank and ambush him, and instilling more situational awareness and group mentality into him. [editline]t[/editline] No damage nerf, no changes to him at all aside from this and the reduced critbox size, and I think we'd still see a marked improvement from all parties involved. Mechanics that reward skill will always be better at fixing these types of problems than DPS tweaks, because they move players away from the behavior that caused the problem in the first place.

[QUOTE=R.M.T.B.;52301814]competitive overwatch is a joke.[/QUOTE] The only reason I go to comp is you're at least given a good chance of having someone pick a healer/tank on your team. Quickplay for me is nothing but a shitfest of awful comps that get steamrolled in seconds.

Hey Roadhoggers don't flip your shit yet, still possible to OHKO a majority of the cast: [video=youtube;ON4Buv-1aZ8]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ON4Buv-1aZ8[/video]

[QUOTE=SleepyAl;52302036]Hey Roadhoggers don't flip your shit yet, still possible to OHKO a majority of the cast: [video=youtube;ON4Buv-1aZ8]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ON4Buv-1aZ8[/video][/QUOTE]How common is it for people to start the combo with a right click? If you land it right it does a ton of extra damage.

i notice that some skinny bitches can't get comboed without dying which is logic defying in the sense that hog should be able to kill him he can't because they didn't revert that dumb "hooked enemies are placed farther away" thing

[QUOTE=SleepyAl;52302036]Hey Roadhoggers don't flip your shit yet, still possible to OHKO a majority of the cast: [video=youtube;ON4Buv-1aZ8]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ON4Buv-1aZ8[/video][/QUOTE] so i guess roadhog did no damage to zenyatta in another video is because the pellets werent a headshot? idk it feels so inconsistent sometimes

Not really surprised that majority of the Roadhog mains are complaining that the nerfs happened because "people don't know how to deal with him." I've said this a million times already but Hook has little-to-no counterplay. "Bait the hook" is the most common answer I've seen to this, yet thats literally the equivalent of saying "pray the Roadhog player sucks." Good players won't miss/waste their hook, so at that point what are you supposed to do? Just let him keep getting kills and picks, causing your team to lose? [i]But now[/i] since he has a harder time 1-shotting targets, getting hooked actually has counterplay, as most characters now actually have a chance to escape. His previous guaranteed 1-shot bullshit can go fuck off, this is honestly the best balance change I've seen happen to the game since the original FTH got nerfed.

Honestly with him being less damage and not being able to one-shot constantly I'd be okay if the hook was back to 6 second cooldown, that's the only thing I can think of to throw them a bone.

lol why is afk timer in ctf even a thing. i sit on the flag as bastion so memeing fucktards that play winston cant back cap the flag, but since their winston was having issues getting to our flag there was nobody for like 4 or 5 minutes to attack, so i get afk kicked

Can't kill Lucio and Ana. Takes more than a full mag to bust Orisa's shield. Yep. We reached the point of no return. Welcome to BarrierWatch.

[/QUOTE] You know what'd be a nice skill-based counter to the hook? If you know it's coming, face Hog and melee just before it hits you, you parry the hook away. He can still hook unskilled players, unattentive players, or players who are just spamming melee hoping to parry it, but if you can see him setting up for it and time it right, you won't get grabbed.
