Mercy has one of the best aesthetic designs in the game and is fun to play. Lucio looks like poo poo and is boring as hell to play.

gmq posted:I'm using a $2 mouse, would a better one help me? Is there any truth in the hype behind gaming accessories? Or is this just a case of gitgud? Gaming accessories are almost entirely bullshit, ultra-high DPI on a mouse is actually a bad thing. Until sponsorships and product placement became huge most Starcraft pros played on $8 membrane keyboards, gaming poo poo is all marketing. As noted, 800dpi is pretty much the sweet spot and while a $2 mouse is probably lovely any cheap Logitech or similar company optical mouse will be more than fine. For sensitivity, turn it down until it takes you around 5 inches of mouse travel to turn 180 degrees, which is going to feel slow as poo poo but will allow you to make fine adjustments without constantly overshooting and overcorrecting. Go from there, turning it up or down a little until you're comfortable, but ideally you should have to use your arm for any major movements; unless you're a Korean teenager you're never going to be able to aim accurately using your fingertips to control the mouse.

Your bottleneck is running the game on max settings, all the pros and high-level streamers you see getting higher framerates are running on everything low. Also your cpu sort of, but mostly your graphics settings, Sandy Bridge is still sufficient for the great majority of games.

I only recently began playing OW again, I've been having fun since I don't touch comp and play to chill, but I'm already just about done with Blizzard's inept shooter design. Characters like Bastion and Orisa exist purely as roadblocks which enable poo poo like bunkering. OW is fun but after three years they still don't seem to get it, and if Team Fortress 3 ever gets made it'll eat Blizzard's lunch.

if you want a PvE shooter just play Destiny 2, it's better than anything Blizzard will come up with Overwatch's entire draw as a game is being a competitive arena shooter, the PvE modes are all kinda bad and not fun to play more than a few times. They're losing players because they can't figure out how to balance a shooter with all the stupid abilities they add which break pacing and remove player control, leading to a game that rapidly becomes stale due to grossly unfun metas.

Even Dice can't manage to really nail Battlefield post-BC2, and given how many fundamental design issues Overwatch has as a shooter I can't imagine a Blizzard Battlefront being very good outside of art and engine polish. I just really wish there were more games as well constructed and polished as Overwatch.

It’s not your pad. Try a different mouse to see if that’s your problem, and clean the lens on the one you’re using. If the issue persists you’ve got a software problem.

I like QP because I like not giving a poo poo if I lose and even if I don't really care about my rank number in OW seeing it go down still triggers a part of the subconscious that makes it feel bad.

Any real pushes or counter-pushes have to happen through ultimates. good product bad game

Splinter posted:Counterpoint: they implemented 1-3-2 on live and it was the best version of OW we've ever seen. It really was, but that's also because one of the biggest core problems with OW is the existence of tanks--especially shields--in the first place. For the first time, and it seems the last time, Overwatch games actually flowed pretty nicely during 1-3-2.

Tanking in MMOs is fun because the group/raid are working with you and following the lead, tanking OW is literally hell even on the few tank characters that aren't terrible to play. Overwatch would have benefited greatly from even a single senior developer who had ever played FPS before.

This rework is happening because Overwatch as it stands is a poo poo game nobody really wants. Removing the tank role and gameplay as it exists wouldn't turn Overwatch into Valorant, it would make it one step closer to being TF3, which is what got people hyped for it in the first place.

# ¿ Apr 27, 2022 22:22 |
I still haven't gotten in but what I've seen looks like balance is a mess with some tanks being a little bit bullshit. Valorant is just CSGO with gimmicky hero abilities on long cooldowns, it's a relatively much slower paced game built around playing angles and everyone uses the same extremely lethal guns. Overwatch will never play like a tactical shooter that way, nor should it. Hard CC being toned down and shields being at least partially removed is a huge step in the right direction tho, while Overwatch will never be and doesn't need to be a direct analog to TF2 it very much did need to be redesigned away from the shielded clusters dancing around until one side pressed Q hard enough paradigm that it's been stuck in for years.

Some day a brave Blizzard employee will stand up in a meeting and point that since like 90% of the player base want to play DPS that maybe they should revise/delete the whole tank role and rebalance supports around it so the game might be fun.
