Can you seriously not gift this game to someone? Jesus, that's amazingly inept.

Last night I played with a group of 4-5 friends for most of the night and I swear a good 75% of our games where we were attacking the defending team had 4+ Bastions or turret dwarf engineer dude. Is that a normal part of the meta? It was extremely annoying.

the idea of calling torb and bastion tryhard characters that you switch to when you're losing to autowin is really funny to me

I had asked about how to counter Bastion / Torb last page, because we went up against teams with 4 Bastion / Torbs for defense, then a healer and Reinhart or whatever, and it felt impossible to beat. Granted we are all super new and don't really know the characters yet. I tried Pharaoh but wasn't able to do enough DPS. I think I needed to encourage more of my group to go anti-turret.

What's the best counter to a Bastion and Torb heavy team on a spot where you can't get LOS or lob grenades? Genji? I usually go Pharah/Junkrat/Widowmaker, but sometimes I just can't seem to make it work with them.

I started playing Reinhardt in competitive and started winning. Coincidence?

Are a Rein and Mercy both basicly mandatory for competitive? (on payload maps)

I haven't played a single competitive game yet but I'm just not sure you can be competitive without a Mercy unless the other team doesn't have one. The targeted healing to keep someone who is being focused up seems too powerful. At least from the Quick Play games I've played in groups.

I feel like everyone hates overtime... I've played enough to hit like level 40 and it seems just fine? Sure, you lose some with it but certainly you win some? And it seems to make the end of marches fairly intense? What's wrong with that?

They need to move Symmetra to Defense and make 2 more "healing" Support characters.

I can play almost every character except Winston. What the hell do I do with Winston?

Winston is absolutely amazing. Your job as Winston is to harass their back line with your high HP, bubble shield, high mobility, and ult that causes a huge amount of chaos and acts as a full heal.

Just practice jumping towards the back line, dropping your bubble, shooting people with your lightning gun, then when you get low on health either jump out or ult if you have it, bringing you to full and letting you stick around for much longer.

Once you get used to him and know the little tricks to fighting each hero he can be unstoppable. I'm not that great at this game and I routinely get 3-4 golds with him per game.

Also don't try to outdamage lvl.2 Torb turrets, you won't.

If you put your shield so it is between you and the turret but you can still lightning gun it, you absolutely can kill a level 2 Torb turret. Your shield will break and you'll get low on health, but it can be done. Just don't try it when Torb is standing right next to you shooting you in the back.

I would say pick a hero in each role. I feel everyone should have a few heroes they are better at than others and be able to pick them if the team needs that role filled. Not roles as the defined Offense/Defense/Support, but tanky, healing, harassing, pushing, etc.

But then again, I'm no Twitch superstar so take that for what it's worth. It has just made me feel like a better player.

gently caress you if you want 21:9 or greater than 103 FOV


Whether they'll comment on the frame/refresh rate advantage they do support remains to be seen.

So wait... Are 21:9 players losing visual space off the top and bottom with this...? Like we won't be able to see as high or low as 16:9?

PerrineClostermann posted:

Their implementation of 21:9 is pretty bad. Anyone who's played a cropped 16:9 knows how cramped and in your face it feels. If they're going to be this stubborn, they should just keep the black bars as the "default" support.

Wow, so not only is the top and bottom cropped... but you don't actually get more peripheral view on the sides? You literally lose sight by having 21:9 over 16:9. So they don't want to give 21:9 players an advantage, but they'll give them a disadvantage? How unbelievably dumb.

PerrineClostermann posted:

Yes, if you select 16:9 as your display ratio


Of course. It gives too much advantage playing with a little more periphery. But if you can spend tons of money on 144Hz+...

On the screenshots you posted, I don't see any advantage on the periphery. You seem the same exactly left and right, but lose up and down.

I'm reading this thread and just assuming people posting angrily about removing ults from the game are just trolling, because there is no way anyone is that dumb. The entire game revolves around ults. Please, let's remove ults from DOTA too, so we can play isometric Counter Strike.

My mouse "pauses" consistently if I swipe it as fast as I can across my mousepad. This DOESN'T happen if I put the mouse directly on the desk, so I'm guessing it's my cheap mouse's laser or my cheap mousepad's texture (or lack of it).

Anyone familiar with this problem? Can I just try another mousepad or do I probably need an expensive mouse to fix it?

Is your mousepad reflective?

Nope! It is a matte black thing except for the logo in one corner.

Then I have no explanation why it would work on your desk but not your mousepad, other than if it is wireless maybe something is interfering with it when you move it?

Pharah's ult causes herself splash damage, so if she is low and you block with Reinheart or pop a Winston shield you can get her to kill herself. :derp:

I think I'm maybe slightly above average but generally play with a group who is below average, and I still see Torbs and Bastions completely shutdown teams. Torb + Bastion + Reinhardt + Mercy still poses a huge problem for "mid level" teams on certain maps, at least in my experience. This is on PC.

They should remove multiple characters per match just because it amplifies balance issues that they don't need to be chasing.

[Edit: Not to mention it's annoying as gently caress.]
