Evil_Greven posted:Am I the only one who finds Widowmaker more effective in close proximity to your team? hell, anyone can do that to her. pharah's ult is rough because you jump into the sky, painting this massive target on yourself, with a character that dies in like 2 hits from a bunch of other heroes. you can do a lot with it but the moment someone sees you, you're done also it's funny to catch reinhardt with the bear trap when he tries to charge you

you gotta gently caress up real hard to die to a lone symmetra as basically anything even if she gets the jump on you

ImpAtom posted:In non-Widowmaker conversation, where is Roadhog strong? Of all the tanks he's the only one I don't really see a lot of big advantage to. He soaks a ton of HP and is very durable but he also builds enemy ults like woah and can't really do much in terms of actually drawing fire behind being big and bulky and occasionally hooking someone. For most of the other characters I know where they should come out into play but Roadhog I've never found a situation where he really feels strong. I don't think roadhog is very good as a tank but he can do some work on the flank. you can oneshot most heroes from full health with your primary so you try and find people by themselves or else distracted by team fights, then pull them to you and knock their head off. he's decent in enclosed spaces as well so I guess you could chill in a room with a symmetra; her turrets will slow people down for you to hook, and failing that you can just shoot them in an area they can't easily run from you. you have enough health to take some hits so you'll win most 1v1s against anything but tanks and trade to reapers

Internet Kraken posted:In what situation can I pick Zenyatta instead of Lucio and not just do worse most of the time don't play zenyatta as a healer. discord people at mid range and shoot them. you can kill 200 health heroes in like 2 headshots when they're discorded. discord is really good. if you have to get in close, discord+charge shot will annihilate a lot of heroes easy so long as you aren't standing in front of them, which would be a real bad move. people don't seem to respect zenyatta as a threat so you can chill around some team mates and go largely ignored a lot of the time. I've had gold medal for damage dealt and eliminations a bunch as zenyatta; he's really good e: like I'm not saying not to give people the harmony orb (you should do that), just that playing him as a dedicated healer doesn't work. you can make your best player absurdly hard to deal with by just leaving harmony with them at all times tho Manatee Cannon fucked around with this message at 22:00 on May 30, 2016 |

zenyatta can heal people but it's not his only role like with mercy. he supports other healers really well but he doesn't work as the only one on the team. he deals good damage and can increase the damage other people do while helping your mercy or lucio keep people alive. he's a more generalized support that can rotate roles easily as needed

stacking your team with 6 of a single hero is gonna get you smashed a lot of the time unless the other team is much worse, at which point it doesn't matter because they were gonna lose anyway some gimmicks work better than others, sure, but 6 torbjorns in king of the hill is a stupid idea and you're gonna lose. a lot of the time it'll end up like that instead of you winning

Tequila Sunrise posted:We did 5 Roadhog/1 76 last night and stomped two rounds, then I got thrown out of the group and ended up going against them. Torbjorn turrets wrecked them. gimmick squads tend to have have pretty harsh counters because heroes all have poo poo they can't deal with well. you're really just hoping the other team both does not have a good counter to your gimmick at the start of the round and then refuses to change to something that negates your bullshit for the rest of it

Imagined posted:Nah, we stomped a pre-made all-Soldier team last night with a random assortment of goons last night playing whatever we felt like. My feeling was that Soldier can't do much against Reinhardt -- even his ult doesn't fully kill Rein's shield, and if he tries to flank, Reaper eats him. Maybe if that team had coordinated their ults it would've been different. soldier doesn't seem very good against winston either. soldier just doesn't do damage fast enough to deal with barriers effectively

for real tho the reinhardt phalanx squad is poo poo and you're gonna lose if you try it because you're just gonna sit their throwing the fire thing every now and then while the entire other team can just shoot you from a distance junkrat's ult will kill your whole team because you'll just be sitting their with your shields up and it'll drive right through them and explode. junkrat in general will gently caress you up because he can trap your charge and knock you around with mines that you can't effectively deal with

PantsBandit posted:Yes I'm comparing the leveling of rocket league to Overwatch neither of them are really "rankings" but people call them that. But my point in the first place was that they both indicate time played, so what's the point in correcting me. the ranking system in overwatch is per class by how many points you have. like you can say it isn't really ranking if you want but that's pedantic. good or bad, that's what it's called so that's what it is. the ranking system in rocket league is separate from the leveling progression; they aren't the same thing so the comparison doesn't work. if you want to call it pedantic then ok but you're not exactly doing anything different here

Is there a good baby's first offensive player I should be while I figure out the genre? I'll be mostly playing with a group of 5 other pals so I figure they can carry me while I am learning not to be terrible! soldier 76 is simple and pretty self sufficient. he can heal himself, is the fastest character while sprinting, has a good primary that's not hard to use since it's just an assault rifle, and his grenade launcher is great for burst damage

matchmaking in this game is just honestly bad and idk why. I almost never see a game where one team doesn't just crushes the other, tho part of that is that defense is better than offense on a lot of mapsCJ posted:Are there people who actually think skill increases linearly with time played? it does to a degree because obviously you're gonna get a little better once you know how to play the game. like a max rank dude isn't necessarily gonna be good, but he'll definitely be better than he was at level 1 Manatee Cannon fucked around with this message at 03:40 on Jun 4, 2016 |

Internet Kraken posted:Yeah the more I play this the more I feel like a lot of the maps are just...bad. Matches are usually either a stomp or the offense totally dominates until they reach the last point, at which point the fast respawn of defense completely walls them. The closest matches I've seen have all been in KOTH. a lot of the maps either have like one entrance that the entire enemy team can fire at or else a few really narrow options that one guy alone can completely shut down. it's rough

the same way you would on the other maps. if you're defending, spam chokepoints leading to the capture zone and set traps. if you're attacking, spam the point because they'll be clustered there. if you're good with the pipes, taking 1v1s is pretty easy on the flank since you can get a direct and then finish people off with the mine

use your teleports to confuse people. you have low health so you want to use your slightly better speed and dodges to make tracking you harderXaris posted:I don't know if OW is exactly the same, but in theory that 6-man party should loving suck or your match making mmr is insanely high. In Hots if you end up vs a (mixed or not) party as a small/solo que then its probably calculated that even as a party they must suck and you must be really good And often you do stomp all over them which feelsgood to be a bunch of randos stomping a party. Still does suck to play though does the overwatch stat tracking site show your mmr anywhere? it'd be nice to know how it's determined so you know why you're getting bad matches
