beejay posted:It kind of feels like the hitbox thing is getting blown out of proportion since there are enough characters that you can be guaranteed to get one of the “good” ones, right? Of course it makes things a little stale but it’s not game destroying. I don't think it is being blown out of propotion. Some characters are more than twice the size of others. That is huuuuuuuuuge in an FPS. Most players want variety. Good games die when they let the meta grow stale. You have have the same heroes using the exact same weapons in every game and it gets boring. Hell, I would argue that preventing it from going stale is more important than absolute balance. Games are much more fun when the meta game is a nebulous unknown and not a solved equation.

The irony is that the 3-4 smallest characters also have the best abilities by and large, so they'd still be the most common picks Xae posted:Games are much more fun when the meta game is a nebulous unknown and not a solved equation.

What always amazes me is how MLG ELITE twitcch streamers just know where enemies are and where they are coming from but that's probably the weakest part of my game even with my perfectly mediocre headset i still get smashed in the side more often than not. I can't hear poo poo

BTW Gibaltar's ultimate is sooooo good, if you don't have a Lifeline in your squad (or even if you do - yeah I said it) and find Ultimate Accelerants, feed 'em to the big man. I swear I get an average of one kill every time I pop that thing, it's nuts.dogstile posted:See I can do this fine I just can't aim My biggest two weaknesses are a decent aim but over-aggression (i.e. I'll try to get in your face but I'm not actually good enough to beat you) and bad player prediction, somebody goes out of my sight and I guess wrong ALL the time, or I completely lose situational awareness and get blindsided.

If you are a old person or someone with tinnitus (like me) set up audio compression to level out sound levels. It most stops really loud spikes in sound but also raises lower sounds. Conversely you can just play with your volume up crazy amounts Mr.Citrus fucked around with this message at 18:17 on Feb 27, 2019 |

I'd like to see the Mozambique and P2020 buffed and both to get a hopup that materializes a second one to dualwield without having to have another set of attachments for each one.

I am convinced - and I mean absolutely 100% convinced - that they're going to put an AMPED hop-up out there that just makes your weapon better. They had this in Titanfall 2 and they seemed to love it (although it got majorly toned down over the course of the game). If they do this, I wouldn't be surprised if the AMPED hopup turns the Mozambique into the Mozambeast. BTW I think that dual-wield would help the Mozambique but wouldn't help the P2020, which already fires as fast as you can pull the trigger.

Yeah before if you looked straight up you could hover for a tiny bit more distance, some paths actually look like they were set up for it. Shame it's gone.

Turtlicious posted:Download AimLab or AimHero or CSGO and one of those free aim training maps and just practice for at least 15 minutes, but upwards of an hour everyday before you play, with your sensitivity set to perfectly match your in game settings. Sorry in advance for asking about a post a billion pages ago, but have you noticed any long term improvement with Aim Lab? I've been at it for a few days per your recommendation, and I think I've got better a bit, but I'm not sure if I'm just imagining things.

It's not like you couldn't just abuse it yourself. I'd understand if nobody except X character had it but literally everyone can use them.

No, what actually happens is you spot a squad, reposition for a cut-off when the ring closes, and they fly over your heads. It does almost nothing to punish "bunkered cowards" who already have position in the next ring. Megaman's Jockstrap fucked around with this message at 19:16 on Feb 27, 2019 |

Pathfinder benefits from some areas only being reachable with him on your team. He is actually not replaceable with other groups. Gibralter doesn't really have that--his shield is cool but other groups have inferior yet still effective area blockers (Bangalore) and Bangalore also has an air strike thing so yeah it's kinda an issue. Caustic is just weird and I hardly ever see him

Caustic is just weird and I hardly ever see him Just played a caustic game. Had a pretty small ring and set up in a two story house. Two squads were pushed by the ring and walked into our toxic deathpit. Then we got sandwiched when the ring closed on is.

I'm curious what exactly the stocks effect and if the golden barrel mod turns a gun into a laser pointer. You bring up another issue. The training ground should have all items for messing around. I can tell you in the hundreds of deaths I've suffered and handful of kills I've gotten that the Purp and Gold gun attachments really do help make guns laser pointers. Super limited time shooting to take my input with a grain of salt. But I've felt like my later staged Alternator is better hip fired then my stage 1 Alternator.

No clue on numbers or percentages, but from dicking around with a lot of Spitfires and Prowlers, kitting one out means less recoil and a significantly smaller bloom.

How does a Battle Pass normally work? I haven't really played since Dota 2 put there's in but I know it has special challenges/achievements and not just "get a thing when you level up" like I think the Fortnite one is. I really hope it has stuff like get 10 grenade kills for a bonus like how CoD MW did.

No it doesn't. You can get a Xim and "trick" the Ps4 into thinking your MnK is a controller though. Then you have a MnK that has aim-assist too! Wow! So cool!
