I hate all you guys for getting actual decent stuff out of loot boxes. I opened up 9 last night and the best I got was the pink skin for Mei (who I don't even play). I didn't even get any victory poses or emotes or voice lines or anything like that. All sprays and player icons. The one epic I did get was currency. I just know I'm going to have to buy loot boxes

Some team stacked 4 Reinhardts, a Lucio, and some rando against us to push on Route 66. They bullied the first stretch really easy because I was the only one who could really gently caress with them as Junkrat. After we got a few switches to things they struggle with, holy poo poo we dunked on them so hard.

Nehru the Damaja posted:Welp. I golded healing with 76 compared to our Mercy. Granted I started as Lucio but I quickly dropped him because our team comp had nobody to loving heal (i.e. flankers, snipers, people on a thousand year vision quest to find kills) This was my experience last night. I'm all excited to play a support role, and then my entire team is snipers hanging out 300 yards from the objective.

I can't believe there are people that are suggesting Blizzard should limit the character selection so you can't have duplicate characters on the same team. That would be stupid aaaaaaaaaas gently caress

prom candy posted:How do you deal with a team that has a lot of tanky heroes? McCree's flashbang-fan the hammer combo can kill tanks easily since they are so big. Hitting the ground in front of them with Hanzo's arrows will shoot them all into the tank, good chance of death. Widowmaker pounding away at them will take them down pretty easily. Aside from that it depends on what tank you are referring to. Reaper is a hard counter to Winston but has issues with Roadhog, etc

prom candy posted:How do you deal with a team that has a lot of tanky heroes? Anything that hits them hard as gently caress from outside their effective range, and pile on it. McCree, Junkrat, Widow, Hanzo, Bastion, etc. Reaper shreds tanks but I'm assuming you're talking about them clumping close together enough that it's hard to isolate them 1v1.

prom candy posted:How do you deal with a team that has a lot of tanky heroes? Good flankers. Tracers and Genjis zipping around to distract them and do chip damage, Parahs good too cause you can bounce them around with the E blast. Always target healers first though. Most tanks actually go down pretty fast without a healer. Also get around them with characters like junkrat to bounce them around with the sticky bomb and root them place with the bear trap.

The correct answer is Reaper. Genji is not a tank counter.

i bought the 50 pack of loot boxes as soon as I saw they were available, no shame from what I can remember I got: the only player icon i actually wanted, the one of bastion's bird (president bird) the white anubis skin for Pharah (pretty sweet actually) green mei (mei more like meh) blackbeard torbjorn  nomad genji (legit my favorite genji skin) EL BLANCO reaper  (actually i got this one out of a level up box later but still) jet black 76 (so cool) utopaea symmetra (very pretty) and a bunch of other recolors and stuff and like 1300 coins, more than enough to get the Auditiva skin for lucio and all the correct voice lines and sprays i wanted so all in all a rounding success

yard salad posted:ive never had more than one widowmaker on any team ive been on or been against. not sure why everyone complains about this all the time It only takes one windowmaker to shutdown an alleyway if they're coming from Counter-Strike or something similar, usually it's just frustrating if your team gets stuck with babbys's first time sniping vs some trick-shot professional.

WoodrowSkillson posted:agreed, however that's still not a good reason to allow multiple instances of a character in a game with 21 of them. Limiting character choices reduces, rather than increases the variables. You got it exactly backwards. Fighting 6 Meis in a zany game of "scramble to counter the gimmick comp" is infinitely more fun than having to fight a balanced coordinated team which really just means yet another round of "fail for 5 minutes break the Reinhardt/Bastion/Healer pile."

Jack B Nimble posted:Amd card on Windows 10? I had to do this recently Nope, the 760's a Nvidia card. I've ran the game on it just fine for the longest time. I'm completely out of ideas other than 'weird driver issue Blizzard has to patch out' but since it's been going on for months I doubt that's the case. And since she runs Oculus Rift games, I don't think it's an overheating problem.

Fellatio del Toro posted:Limiting character choices reduces, rather than increases the variables. You got it exactly backwards. This is entirely correct. The game is intentionally balanced around swapping characters in a match, and you're expected to do so. The game is balanced enough where you can counter 6 meis or bastions or torbjorns just fine, and it's way more fun to allow such things. Sorry if you keep solo queuing and ending up with a ton of Hanzo, but if they were limited you'd end up with Widowmaker/Hanzo/Torbjorn/Bastion/Soldier/Reaper comps every game.

PSA if the enemy team is running mass duplicates of a hero then that's much easier to adjust and shut down than a varied composition Whining about five Torbjörns ranks pretty far up though

That would be stupid aaaaaaaaaas gently caress It's kind of an elephant in the room in comp play but I saw a "one-ofs only" tourney and while there were more heroes per team, it didn't make the comps any more diverse. Every team was just McCree, Reinhardt, Lucio, Mercy, Widow, and then either like Genji or Pharah. Symmetra when the map calls for it. I honestly don't know how you fix it. Demoting McCree from God status is probably a good start but there's just a lot of characters whose whole deal is they shine in a narrow set of circumstances or exist to punish low-experience mistakes like Roadhog and Mei.

prom candy posted:How do you deal with a team that has a lot of tanky heroes? Pharah does an excellent job against most tanks. She can get above Reinhardt's shield, can usually outrange Roadhog and Winston, and can pursue Zarya to prevent her shields from recharging. Since a lot of the tanks are really slow, it's much easier to get direct hits.

So, it was pointed out to me that Pharah apparently doesn't have any actual limbs? Her design has full-on mechanical joints in her knees and other areas to indicate that she must just be a head or torso on an Omnic body.

Maybe for you, but I've also had fun games where we stack, like the last game of Nepal I played with 5 Roadhogs and a Lucio. Just because you don't like to play that way doesn't mean it's the most fun for everyone. The game wasn't designed to restrict it to one hero per team. It's been that way from the beginning and if that's causing you to not have fun with it, that's 100% on you.

I've been trying to get better as Genji so I can counter Bastion and get some assassination in, but I just can't seem to wrap my head around how he plays. I slink around and plink people with my ninja stars. When I'm ready to take on Bastion or when someone is shooting me at medium range, I hit e and charge. After my e wears off, they kill me while I desperately try to eke out a little more damage.

Works just fine in other games, and helps you learn other heroes instead of only being widowmaker and making sicc headshots. Plus it means fighting more varied opponents rather then and endless stream of mcrees, widowmakers, reapers, bastions, and dwarfs.

Armor reduces each individual damage packet by a flat amount. Every pellet from a single firing of Reaper's shotguns is grouped together into a single damage packet, meaning that armor is much less effective against shotgun-type weapons compared to other hitscan weapons.
