Overwatch - It's Actually a Trick To Make Everyone Play HotS, also BUY
5,002 replies, posted
I've seen PotGs where almost nothing happens (one kill and then the player pushed the payload for the rest of the clip), so honestly I dunno how it works.
PoTG is based off how fast someone becomes on fire.
It just so happens pressing Q is the fastest way to get fire.

Hold right click to do it. It's really useful when popping around corners, you can basically oneshot light classes with it. In fact if your aim is good enough and the enemy is far enough away you can release the orbs, and then before they hit the target, throw your discord on the enemy, and since discord is basically instant and your orbs have a delay you can peak out and hit them with 5 discord shots in the span of a second.
However if you're just DMing somebody at close-ish range without cover you're better off just donking them with your M1.
Well TIL that Fortify protects from being frozen.

Nice.
Also I love how legendary event dupes are just 200 coins worth, when they're 3k coins of value. Same duplicate prize as a normal Legendary that costs 1k only.
Pls defend this, whoever thinks that there's nothing wrong with the loot system.

New Elimination rules got me into trying Orisa and hot damn, Fortify is amazing, blocking hook & freeze cancer for five seconds and watching the enemy going "wait shit" is glorious.

The uses for it are super duper situational, in almost all cases primary fire is the way to go
[QUOTE=ClauAmericano;52279701]Blizzard encrypts the game's files so they can't be datamined until the next update or so, but apparently some people have managed to datamine the Anniversary update earlier then usual.
Here's a list of things found so far:

numbani-like sounds makes sense, but i guess ppl have confirmed its just the summer arcade noises?
I still want to think that Doomfist will make his grand appearance soon.
Wouldn't be surprised if we had a Numbani based event coinciding with the release of Doomfist. If they're interested in following up on Uprising they could even do a special game mode about stealing the Doomfist.
Doomfist is gonna be introduced with his own "VS Saxton Hale" mode. Doomfist VS. 6 members of Overwatch.

It is revealed that Doomfist is actually played like Cho'gal from HotS; one player controls the guy, another the fist.

And Doomfist is gonna scream "DOOMFIST", all players nearby will get the spooky effect and add a new animation of how scared they are.
Anyone else playing on 21:9? Feels like playing zoomed in :sick:

You are.
Blizzard doesn't want you getting an advantage with that monitor, so they cut off your vertical fov to keep your horizontal fov the same as 16:9 players.

Thought it was some configuration issue on my end. But after looking it up this seems not the case. Kinda a poor excuse from Blizzard imo, but oh well.
I want this as a skin.

You can only distinguish it's Mercy because of the wings.

Not pictured: the people she's letting drown off-screen so she can get POTG rez
aside from other reasons i cant take that pic seriously because of the water/light refraction
I have to say, as much as I like the art style of the game, it has some serious silhouette / conveyance problems at times, particularly with the female characters.
For instance, in low light or from a short distance away, and with the right skins, D.va without her mech and Tracer look almost identical at a glance. Same with Widow and Ana in some cases too.
Mercy, Zarya and Mei are perfect examples of how to make a female character with a distinct silhouette, and they're still just as clear no matter what skin they're using too. The rest are kinda hit or miss, aside from D.va's mech.

who hurt you
[QUOTE=FalconHBFS;52279925]I'm done with this game. I thought it could be fun, I really, really tried to see the positives. But enough is enough.
You can't put us, a team of Bronze, players against 4 Silvers.
I'm mad. Beyond choleric. My rage can only be compared to one carried by a Space Marine.
Sorry for the rant.[/QUOTE]
A good thing to remember is that the rank shown is their MAX rank for the season, they probably got lucky and then bombed back down into bronze once they played more.
So I played again in this free weekend
I kind of fixed the heating issues I had last time, I just dropped the render scale to 50%, it looks like shit though, but it works
Also I think they fixed the stutters I had last time in some maps, very nice

[QUOTE=Everything;52279986]Why are so many people getting salty about ultimates in PotGs lately
Some guy got a quad with death blossom and during the replay, the text chat from both teams just erupted into "nice q" "good q press" "amazing q" "wow that q"[/QUOTE]
Eh, I usually ignore people that say shit like this. Sometimes is so hard to do a well placed Blossom as Reaper since you always end up being cockblocked by a Reinhardt or a Lucio's ult or you just get killed imediatelly before even managing to kill anyone.
also don't even get me started on Junkrat's shit ult. Most of the times you have be creative on how to approach a group of people or else the tire just gets ripped to shreds.
