So I'm trying to adapt sensitivity for each character.
In general what is recommended? Is the gap between horizontal and vertical a recommended ratio to keep? Should I opt for slower sentivity on rangers like hanzo {whom I'm Pretty good with} and widow maker?

EDIT: I'm on PS4

One cool thing is Widowmaker has a separate setting for her scoped speed as well as unscoped . I usually have it at 40 unscoped and 25 scoped.

 

[Zaventem]

Every time a control game starts, whenever a Lucio in your team activates the speed boost, and everyone in your team is running at ludicrous speed next to one another with the epic music in the background.

Played a game with double lucio in pub. I was trying to figure out who would speed boost first, he did then I did to get to that point pronto. After I died I switched, but damn it's a good strat. KOTH without lucio is suicide really.

 

[Firestorm]

I thinks I too on my 970. I didn't play much beta but I remember it beings solid 60 fps. Now I get little drops under 60.

I don't drop below 60 on my 970 with everything on Epic and a higher resolution than 1920x1080 which I'm forcing through GeForce experience. Try updating drivers?

 

[Antiwhippy]

I think it's a matter of personal preference and map design.

Hmmm, alright, I think I'll give Winston a couple more goes. Really want to like him because he seems fun.

 

[abundant]

How would you counter a team with four Torbjörns, a Hanzo, and a Roadhog?

If the Torbs' turrets are grouped up around a point, I found out that D.Va's ult is a good way to take them out.

 

[spineduke]

Apologies in advance if this has been asked before, but has anyone had an issue updating the game? I constantly get "Whoops! Something broke. Give it another shot". I checked my installed folder settings, got plenty of space. Scan and Repair didn't help either.

Frustrating since I had no issue during the beta!

Keep an eye on that jump and learn how quick it reloads! Makes a big difference. Also look for some routes to jump over buildings.

That Master Overwatch site is adding more and more info. It says I'm #2,196 overall now. I assume that's just NA/PC, though.

It says I'm #29 with Bastion. lol 0_0

I don't miss those days

 

[Apathy]

Some of these players, my god
I just cant

Why yes Widow sit back and snipe while 5 of us killed ourselves killing the whole Defense on Hanamura, yet you don't go take point

Bravo

I had a match like that, the rest of the team ended up dying killing their team, they had one alive running back (the first one we killed) so the point was free, our widow just stood there looking through her scope, moving side to side avoiding the nothing and no one shooting at her, while we're all frantically typing out to move to the point.

It was up there in terms of the worst, must frustrating things to have happened in game.

 

[MaxVarEmreis]

Really?

Huh... didn't know that.

To be fair, i think that few days after geme premiere, MMR can't work properly. It need more time and more diverse pool of players to be working correctly.

 

[Klyka]

Pharah's. Junkrat can't touch Pharah. Soldier 76 works well too cause he can take them out at range. A widowmaker in the back will easily headshot/bodyshot them.

But mostly Pharah's. Even just two Pharah's can flank around the Reinhardt and just rocket spam from rooftops/the air.

Put a Mercy on one of the Pharah's and she'll clean house.

I just love how I always feel like a team of BAMF superheroes ready to wreck some shit. That, and it's the best way to start those matches.

 

[SmartWaffles]

How would you counter an attacking team of four Junkrats, a Reinhardt, and a Hanzo?

Two Pharahs and a Mercy to clean house, get your own sniper to suppress Hanzo or go Tracer to knock him out.

What? That's fucking cool. Man this game is so close to chomping Uncharted's heals as my game of the year. Also, thanks.

Yeah I've seen that too many times when I see what others are doing after I die unfortunately. They just stand in one spot a million miles away hoping to get some cheap kills. I've seen good Widowmaker play only a handful of times.

 

[pigeon]

How would you counter an attacking team of four Junkrats, a Reinhardt, and a Hanzo?

Reinhardt is the only member of that team who can stand on the point, and he's melee.

Depending on what other teammates were playing, I'd play Winston to push the backline away and Mei to kill Reinhardt.

edit: Actually, as others noted, Pharah is a great pick vs. Junkrat and also dominates Reinhardt, so I would probably play her.

 

[AdamT]

I had my first crash and it put me right back in the game with my team. Nice feature. Luckily load times are really quick on an SSD.

 

[Klyka]

you know what, fuck it, if they go 4 junkrats on attack, you go 4 junkrats on defense.

ARTILLERY FIGHT HOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

It's taking forever to find a game today.

 

[Artanisix]

I'm surprised Overwatch gets so much shit from random posters on gaf, I wonder if it's just due to its massive popularity at this point

 

[R0ckman]

Did Blizzard ever release a statement in defense of Torb's turret cooldown going off when built and not destroyed? Makes absolutely no sense to me.

Seems pretty obvious to me? They're not trying to punish him for getting his turret destroyed, they're trying to punish him for putting it in an exposed location so that it immediately gets destroyed. Basically, you're supposed to be able to have your turret up constantly as Torbjorn, but you're not supposed to be able to place it while people are actively shooting you.

 

[Ark]

Someone fucking tell me how Mcree isn't the most fucked up piece of overpowered unbalanced piece of fucking shit to ever be in a game?

I'm not even joking, he's the most bullshit character ever. If the hit detection/tickrate wasn't bad enough, his ridiculous range on his flashbang + the right-click, is just so silly.

 

[Hawkian]

Add Hawkian#1871 friendly folks!

Same answer for everyone else. Hard counters. When I play Genji, Mcree doesn't even exist.

 

[Rad-]

That facepalm at your team when you get elimination gold medal with 4 eliminations and you were playing Mercy. #MercyProblems #HeroesAlwaysDie

"Justice reigns from above". Well, not if I'm Winston and I jump pack right up to you and tesla your ass.

You have to understand, none of the heroes in this game is balanced.
If you have mcree, then try mei, or bastion, or zarya, or genji. Switch your heroes, counter them.

A story about a gaming site, packed with posts and dudes that fight,
Each single game with hope is made, and by some people probably played
But no matter how big or small, there's a Gaffer to hate them all.

He's pretty darn ridiculous in 1v1, he can probably win most match-ups that way. His range is pretty good too, but I don't think he's OP. I haven't really had any issues with McCrees, I haven't been killed by High Noon either.

Reflect is on cooldown. You are now dead XD

McCree Needs a lot of SKILL to be good.

You Need to press stun AND fan AND hit with those bullets! And if they still live you Need to use a ROLL and then FAN AGAIN!

I thought this game was supposed to be casual friendly but this amount of skill needed to make a character work? Over the line, Failzzard!

 

[Artanisix]

To be fair mccree is probably the best all-around hero in the game

People will tell you to play a McCree counter.

They're not wrong, but McCree is actually a little too good right now. The fact that the pro teams were experimenting with double McCree should pretty much clarify his position. He just doesn't have significant weaknesses at this moment.

McCree counters Mei extremely hard, what.

 

[robotrock]

I need to stop exclusively playing Tracer and Mercy.

 

[Rad-]

Yep. McCree fucks up Mei super hard. The only big counter to McCree atm is Widowmaker.

Bleurgh, that Dolby Atmos thingamajig for stereo headphones gives me motion sickness something fierce.

If reflect is on CD then dash and double jump while throwing shurikens down. Be annoying. He won't keep up.

That's what I absolutely love about Overwatch: that is skill based game. Mighty Blizzard, thank you! (with all the respect to you Klyka)

What is this?

Someone made a thing to get the Atmos mix for your stereo headphones? Is there a link or can this be done within the game?

I don't drop below 60 on my 970 with everything on Epic and a higher resolution than 1920x1080 which I'm forcing through GeForce experience. Try updating drivers?

I have a 960, but wasn't having dips on the beta on Ultra settings. Once I updated my driver to the game ready one I started experiencing dips. Once I reverted it's been solid for me. Odd.

Sound Options - Dolby Atmos.

Right there in the game

on pc it's a sound option to give sterio headsets some weird sound feature to help hear stuff from all around you

*edit* thought you were asking what atmos was, sorry.

 

[TaterTots]

Someone like McCree requires skill imo. He requires actual aim for mid to long range. People say he is easy due to flash bang, but sometimes you have to mix it up.

I don't agree with this merely because the way its designed it becomes the center of attention in most battles even if its easy to take it out. When you take it out there is no real reward but for maybe several seconds.

 

[ShadowsFell]

One of my only gripes about this game is that I can't really seem to find sensitivities for my controller on Xbox One that feel right. I haven't had that problem in CoD, Battlefield, or Halo, with the exception of Halo 5 before.

 

[GraveRobberX]

Defend Team makeup

Winston, Rein, Road, Mercy, Bastion, Tracer

They got steamrolled lol
