Montalvo posted:6v6 comp on console at gold rank is a uniquely painful experience beyond anything I've encountered before. Are you getting, like, a SHITload of smurfs? I'm also gold on console and the number of dudes who have played Overwatch for this competitive season ONLY and have like eight hours total on the game but somehow have hugely-advanced game sense and masters-level aim is suspiciously high Including the Hanzo I played with who only had three hours of Hanzo total but landed a million headshots, won us the game with a 4K, and was literally named "justindasmurf"

teagone posted:Yes, I'm aware of how much money the NBA makes form China. It's just refreshing to hear him say the NBA isn't going to regulate the comments of its employees, as opposed to him fining or banning Morey from the NBA or whatever—and anyone else who would follow suit—for expressing their opinions against the Chinese government. The Rockets might not fire Morey but he’s already apologized in public and the likelihood of anyone else of any importance in the NBA saying anything further of substance about China is close to zero The league in general is far more progressive than pretty much any others, but unfortunately they’re not going to do anything as noble as “standing up for free speech.” The only real difference between them and Blizzard is that Morey is a relatively powerful figure so his job is safe for the time being. The player and casters for Hearthstone are not, so they got screwed.

Unsinkabear posted:People in the tryhard thread were saying they need to nerf his combo rather than rocket punch, and that seems legit to me. Idk how they could do it without breaking him altogether, but then again, I don't care. Reduce his gun damage? Give people some control over their movement when he uppercuts them? Make him move slower when he seismic slams? Make it louder? Maybe his fist glows when he does it so you can see him better?

Brendan Rodgers posted:I don't understand the game enough to know what's going on beyond the Sigma and Orisa shields being a big part of why I'm a god now, but I like it. Every engagement favours me now and I never feel frustrated with Moira like I did before. You've got an ability that can heal through shields, you have a get-out-of-jail-free card that saves you from flankers and the ults that can kill you, and every engagement happens within your optimal range. You can also build ult insanely quick off Sigma and Orisa alone

megane posted:Agreed completely. Ana is a stroke of design genius, and handily avoids pretty much all the problems I have with snipers. That first period after release when we got Ana, Sombra, Orisa, Doomfist, and Moira showed some amazing innovation. Especially since the FPS genre rarely rises above the level of "a SMG that is slightly more accurate than most other SMGs." Ana is the best-designed character because despite having probably the two most powerful non-ult abilities in the game you almost never hear "Ana is bullshit"

berenzen posted:Ana went through a bunch of nerfs. Pre-nerfs you absolutely heard her called a bullshit strong champion. This was when her shots did 80 damage and her ult gave +50% move speed. ah yeah I didn't play back then, forgot about it even then it seems like it was fixed when they just messed with numbers a bit, she didn't need a total rework like Sym or Torb

generally insulting your teammates makes your team more likely to lose because no one likes being insulted and it makes you more likely to lose going forward because it puts you in a pissy, negative mood I have always had my best results when I'm relentlessly, almost sickeningly positive. It's not an easy attitude to hold!

Aim in Overwatch is incredibly difficult on account of the instant movement acceleration, multiple movement abilities, and how tiny some of the heads are It’s a different type of aim but it’s not surprising a lot of former OW pros have found success in VALORANT

Famous TV Dad posted:i don't even (potentially) mind the change to 5v5 but considering all the work they will have to put in to re-balance every character what happens to updating the balance for ow1 now? do they just completely drop it? can this game become even more stagnant somehow? I know this is a "game dev is hard" thing but putting a full hold on new heroes sans Echo for like two? three years? horrible idea. New hero teases were a big part of this game's hype cycle and gave streamers new content and made OWL stages more interesting

it still blows my mind that Overwatch decided to forgo releasing any new content for an indefinite length of time while all their other competitors are just pumping out characters and the like. Not a great idea in retrospect!

dogstile posted:Fixed that for you. I can't believe they've left the game as stale as it is. it's bizarre! like even the game's story, right. I don't care about the story but Overwatch has a huge casual fanbase who love its story and characters, and in five years the story of Overwatch is "Overwatch is getting back together soon!" on top of that, you have stuff like the seasonal events. Hey, Summer Games is back! Lucioball was OK, I bet you could do Ashe's Skeet Shooting challenge or Reinhardt Baseball or Genji's Obstacle Course! At least one new one each time! Not "Rocket League but worse and with no forfeit option so the games last a half hour"

dogstile posted:I'm still of the opinion that they went "gently caress, we can't stop goats, lets do 5v5" three years ago and never moved on. and then the Dragons used a weirdo comp to beat GOATS lol broadly the OW team made two inexplicable decisions: 1. completely stopped new hero/map releases with the exception of Echo and a few deathmatch maps no one cares about. Hero releases in particular keep a game hyped up, let content creators cook, provide interesting storylines to the pro leagues, etc. It'd be one thing if they were like "we're not gonna release new heroes until OW2 comes out, in [definitely locked-down date]" but they're basically asking folks to trust that the drought will end at some point. 2. "hey, our fanbase has a huge percentage of casual folks who love it for the lore. let's release a short story or whatever every five months and have OW1 end with the story at the 'Overwatch is getting back together maybe???' stage"
