objects in mirror posted:Teaming up with goons = fun. But I feel there's more pressure to win? Teaming up creates zero sum dynamics whereas if you're just in Quick Play you can dick around. Nah, there's no pressure to win with goons. Hell the last game I played last night we had a guy who wasn't able to grasp the concept of payload defense and we just got steamrolled because he thought we were supposed to defend the cart from an unknown third party while the other team pushed it or something. Something like that, he was hung up on the word "defend." There's definitely no pressure to win. There's no pressure to really even play the game or anything, we had people playing on dialup or comcast or something and just disconnecting over and over. Playing with goons just means nobody's going to talk too much poo poo about your mother and/or your sexuality if you're a fuckup  E: and then there's the times when you hold Hanamura B for 8 minutes to win because you're communicating with each other about flankers and missing enemies and everyone laughs at the other team for choking.

Atoramos posted:Also my wife chain-crashes after a bit of play with 'Rendering device has been lost', but she's running the same build I am with a 760. Latest drivers. Tried reinstalling Windows 10 last night, but no dice. She's pulling her hair out and I'm not sure what to suggest (I'll be getting a new card once the 1080's are actually available, so she can try swapping for my card then...) Check out the card/computer case and see if it is full of dust bunnies. If not, blast it with air anyway because unless you're running HEPA filtration and regularly clean it out there's gonna be dust. With a 760 that's a good amount of time if it's been untouched since installation, and if she's got any kind of pets it's probably all dusted up and unable to cool properly. There's a possibility there's a driver issue or your PSU is being really strange but if her computer runs fine after being shut off for a bit and then stays fine until she's playing the game then it's almost certainly a heat issue causing the card to freak out. Did/does she get weird graphics glitches elsewhere? Unconstrained textures, weird shading and staticy poo poo, stuff like that.

E: /\ try playing Dva like you'd play Reaper or maybe a flanky McCree, it's fun as hell if you are willing to take the risk in getting up to point blank range because her damage really ramps up. It's good enough to be able to boost into the air at a flying pharah and kill her as you're falling past her.Atoramos posted:Fully cleaned out the PC last night, along with a fresh Windows 10 install and yesterday's released drivers from Nvidia. She doesn't see any other graphics glitches, and has a fine time with every other game we play including Oculus games like Eve: Valkyrie. She tried playing on the lowest settings, still sees the problem. Is there a recommended lightweight app to log the GPU temperatures? Otherwise, I'm out of ideas. I think stuff like Rainmeter is good for that but a) I haven't used it in more than 10 years and b) I'm not sure about logging, just real time monitoring. However, if i doesn't glitch out while running stuff on the Rift then it almost certainly can't be heat since I'm almost positive OW is less intensive than Rift stuff by a substantial margin, not to mention OW is insanely well optimized (I was running it on my old starcraft 2-era machine with a solid 60+ fps albeit with low settings) for not-so-new hardware. I don't know offhand how to roll back a graphics driver install with the Geforce Experience software they use now but I'd give that a whirl, with a few other people seeing issues under the new drivers that might be it.

The best way to counter a bastion is a Genji because a lot of them will just switch to widowmaker out of shame when they get shot to pieces with their own drat bullets.

exquisite tea posted:Any idea why my frames are locked to 70 if I go with the display-based option in video settings? It doesn't bother me at all, it just seems like a peculiar number. If I had to guess it probably means your display is running at 70 Hz, and when you choose the display-based fps it sets your max frame rate to match that of the display (or a multiple of it).

I think all the raving about Lucio is getting him a little overrated and folks are diving into really really really really dumb situations with him thinking of all the goonsay.txt poo poo about how good he is. Yeah, he's good, but if you are seeing the enemy team focusing your tank to the exclusion of all else maybe you are going to need the better single-target healing from Mercy so that your tank can soak up enough damage to serve as a proper tank for your team. Granted, switching heroes to adapt to the realities of the fight is a pretty important part of the game, but if your tank or your healer is the only person willing to switch (and nobody else is a healer, and nobody else wants to tank) there's a problem with the players in blue, not the ones in red. Pubbies are garbage, but poo poo a lot of goons have managed to be completely new at this game too and while it can get a little frustrating slamming your dick in the "everyone is mei or soldier except you and you can't be both tank and healer at all times so well you can't even cap Numbani A" garage door, it's probably going to help everyone out to a) provide helpful, clear advice over voice chat including announcing when you need healing or when you see flankers and b) just leaving and finding another group if you're getting steamrolled because what little MMR data they have is probably throwing the outputs wildly off and resulting in your team of babby heroes getting dumped into a match of people who played in their premade clique every day of the beta from getting off the school bus to mom delivering the nuggets for dinner. Fake edit: also, sometimes waiting for everyone to spawn is a loving terrible idea, mostly in KOTH maps because that percentage ticks up nonstop. If you've got 3 up and 3 down just fight conservatively around the point until everyone else is back. Don't sit in spawn and let them castle themselves in on the point, get in there and keep them mobile. Your grenades or rockets or bullets could mean the difference between winning in OT and losing in OT because they managed to get all camped up in a corner.

Dias posted:Mercy is a better Attack/Defend healer, but the reason why we talk a lot about Lúcio is that if you're not grouping with competent people, what's gonna happen more often than not is you'll be healing pixies or a tank by its lonesome while nothing happens and your team gets mowed down by turrets while you're sniped down or ganked by Reapers. I like him better in Payload and KOTH too, although in the second I kinda wish we also had a Mercy very often.  but even Lucio needs a team who is going to take advantage of the heals while also doing useful things in the map. Just following a team of imbeciles around and healing them in their idiocy isn't going to get any more done than pocketing a sniper.

Your Computer posted:Has there been any more info on MMR since release? If/how it works, etc. (for solo queue)? A lack of coordination can make things look a lot worse than they are. Sometimes you can't just brawl halfway to the point because some enemies need to get killed NOW while others can be mopped up later. If you have a Reinhardt as tank for example, widowmaker isn't going to be a priority because hopefully everyone's using the shield. However, motherfuckers like Winston or Bastion need to be focused because of their ability to break up a team and melt your shield, respectively. Sometimes you will need two or three Pharahs to crack a bastion+Mercy+Reinhardt+Torbjorn camp. Otherwise it's difficult to put enough damage downrange. E: Directional sound is insanely important in this game, holy poo poo. You are hosed if you have a 2.1 dumpster special or refuse to get modern headphones. You're so hosed it actively harms your team because it means you don't know where anything is unless you can see it and that's where you miss the flanking reaper prepping for a death blossom. poo poo can go downhill fast, losing 4 people because The Helen Keller Orchestra back there didn't hear footsteps is a prime example.

MacheteZombie posted:When playing DVa if you fly in, kill 1-2 people, distract the rest of their team, pop your matrix then fly off while your team picks off the distracted team, you've done your job. This is all it takes to be effective with dva. Reinhardt is good when facing the enemy lines at range, Roadhog is good facing the enemy lines at point blank range, Winston is good when within the enemy's grouping, and Dva is good when behind/beside the enemy. Zarya is a bit different because she mitigates burst damage with her shield and becomes more powerful by doing so. I'd say she's on the brawling side of the brawl/harass scale. Reinhardt, Roadhog, and Zarya all have some form of regen or self-healing function whereas Winston and Dva have approach/escape skills on short cooldowns, which really should be emphasized in terms of what strengths people should be playing to when picking them.

Nehru the Damaja posted:And that ult has killed me all of once from Stress Test 2 til now, and even then owing only to cars being occasionally unreliable cover. Considering how insanely over-represented D.Va is in pub games, that's a pretty bad record It really only kills idiots. It's a lot like the Zarya ult or the Mei ult or the Zenyatta ult in the sense that it facilitates kills or capture/progress by getting the enemy team to leave their position. Take Volskaya B for example - lobbing a dva bomb into the point means the enemy team is either heading back toward their spawn, headed around the corners to either side, running toward your team, or getting blown up. Rarely can they use the thing in the middle to LOS it because it's usually airborne over the point when it blows. So the mech blows up and the enemy is now out of the point and likely split up. Your team followed the mech in and is now in a good position to pick the enemy off as they try coming back in.

Ddraig posted:Salty as gently caress right now. Playing as Pharah on Route 66, I barraged and wiped the healer, the tank, the enemy pharah and their hanzo and allowed us to make a push onto the payload. Playing the objective gives you bonus points because it contests/pushes the cart, so it's possible Reinhardt was within range to do that while killing people. It's a pretty objective way of looking at how beneficial certain actions are.

I'm realizing that hitting a sniper with Kenyatta's discord orb is usually enough to make them head for cover asap. It's the best thing ever because you can just duck out, hit E, and pop back behind cover. If you're using voice comms you can then be like "sniper up there, I got an orb on them" and if your team is quick enough with a winston or a dva they'll peep that orb indicator and head up there to ruin the sniper's day. Sure the orb only lasts for a few seconds once LOS is broken but the typical sniper doesn't do much other than duck back in a doorway or behind a corner along the same walkway so lighting them up once is enough to know where they are for a pretty long time.
