Overwatch |OT10| That'll do pig, that'll do
- Thread starter antitrop
- Start date
I guess because I'm new I got a nice bit of Summer legendaries- Lucio's white outfit, D.Va's, Genji's, and Mercy's. Not a bad haul, but damn did I want either Soldier's, Junkrat's or Reaper's. Knew I couldn't get the 3000 coin for any of them, so I just spent what I had on Frogboy's other Summer lines, emotes, and things. Gonna grind it out today and just hope for the best.

So I looked it up, McCree minimum damage is 20. A bump to 30-35 would be greatly appreciated.
Inb4 git gub noob, talking bout on console where pretty much any primary shot takes skill.
I also stand by reducing his cooldowns.

Yeah minimum damage to at least 30 would be good although I don't think he needs reduced cooldowns.

I just think roll is such a shit ability that 8 seconds is too much.

As if Doomfist isn't getting nerfed enough this patch between the hitbox nerf and junkrat and orisa buffs, the Mercy change basically makes her a hard counter to Doomfist now too. Now you have to kill two people with your one hit kill to create a 6v5 situation, and that ability to create 6v5 is the only reason he's any good at all.

Nah if anything single hit characters need nerfing on console due to Blizzard basically not even trying to combat mouse and keyboard cheaters.

There's not much they can do and it's such a minor issue, they shouldn't be balancing their game around less than 1% of the playerbase.

It more common than that, besides it only takes a minority to ruin things game for majority.

Roll is an insanely powerful ability because of the free reload. Being able to continue firing in a big team fight or catching any tank with 2 full fan the hammer clips is crazy. McCree's damage output still feels broken at times.

1) Do you have any type of source for that statistic?
2) What do you think is more of an issue right now on console; kb/m widows and mccree's or pharmercies?
yeah roll is hardly useless

I agree the reload is good. They can nerf FTH damage to 30 to compensate, I believe it's 45 rn.
Having your only mobility option on 8 seconds sucks imo. Flashbang is a great ability but when your team is getting flanked by tracer and genji that 10 seconds is an eternity.

They both problems, you don't fix one by making the other even worse.
You can tell when it being used in kill cams, mouse users make movements just not done on a thumbstick.

The thing about him and a lot of tips from overwatch vets is that there is an assumption that your team is competent enough to provide support needed to make him effective. Now its no problem if you find enviornmental cover yourself to hide, but because almost all heroes other than him have ways to close the distance between you and him within seconds, he's pretty much screwed if all eyes are in him.

Side mouse button or `
I've always been of the opinion that the roll and the free reload should be on separate timers, on the same ability. Stick a circle above the ability like Symmetra's turrets or Tracer's blink - that has an 8 second cooldown and is the reload. The roll itself should be on like a 3-4 second cooldown. That way you can roll sometimes without getting the free reload.
I see this sentiment a lot but I still feel that this community is getting a lot more false positives than hits when accusing others of M+KB. For the record, I believe a lot (not all, but a decent amount) of suspicious aiming can be explained by a really high sensitivity and custom length thumbsticks.

Agreed. In solo Q you almost never get that support. If they have a Pharah, you're supposed to be able to delete her immediately with no help from anyone.
If you do, they eventually start to focus you while you prioritize Pharah and a tracer or genji wreck you while you duel her.

I use the alt key as well because I can press it with my thumb, makes it easy to still move around.

In quick play I'm actually thinking keyboard Widows are out in a surprisingly high amount (unless it's possible to replicate those sudden speedy snaps with sensitivity on the controller, I've never tried myself).
Pharmercy is surely a bigger deal in competitive but I haven't been in there much as of the last three seasons so I'm guessing really.
Ideally we'd just get some kind of console balancing full stop, but that ain't happening, we should be thankful it's not still Torb town over here.
Lol speaking of which just got out of a game where I had a Reinhardt with me, dude is just sitting there watching me duel a Bastion, I'm at low health, Bastion is not in turret from, this moron isnt putting his sheild up for me, sheild is fully charged, just watching me duel him.

I personally use open mic and just toggle mute. It's easier for me to do that. The key I use to toggle mute is F. I see people either use mouse 5 or ` as a push to talk key.
F is probably an uncomfortable key to use. I play with a really messed up WASD position. I coin it as "claw position" but w/e.

Well you can alter sensitivity, smoothing, aim assist and aim styles and that's not getting in to using 3rd party controllers, analog sticks or analog stick attachments. I just really don't think refusing to counter balance something that is plaguing all skill levels and the vast majority of players and what the game is intended to be played with because a very, very small subset may be using a m/kb. That's silly.
Welp. Didn't get a change to play all weekend so I bought 50 lootboxes
Got Biker Reaper, both Track Tracers, Both Soccer Lucios, Summer Widow. Had enough coins to buy both Sombra and Mercy. Just glad to have Sombra's.
Any word on when PTR changes hit the main game? Loving the Mercy changes

Overwatch community is crazy. 3 and a half years of dota2 and somehow Overwatch has managed to provide an overall worse experience in less than half the time.
I'm really curious to see how things work out in Season 6 and what accommodations they make in the future to combat the stubborn attitudes. I will say that I think some of the fundamental ways the game works probably amplifies frustrations in the playerbase. It's an incredible shit soup that Blizzard has cooked up lmfao

Got to 2945 and then late night OW happened and I'm still at 2908. Hopefully I can get some games in tomorrow, I'm so close, dammit.
I seriously hope the sr drop for the new placements is dead and buried so I can start from here again.
For some reason I'm climbing when solo queuing and dropping when grouping up, it's weird. That's not how OW works usually.

Decided to buy some boxes before the event ends since I won't be able to play. I think my luck just splurged in this one box. Gotten everything but Mercy and Widow so I ended up buying the Widow one with coins and just leaving the Mercy one out since I'm already using the Witch skin and didn't have any legendary skin for widow.

also this sdburn clip, that clean kill on the tracer mein gott
Played with Legacy and lost two king of the hill games
One because no one wants to go healer or tank
Two same reason plus a Sombra who didn't ult once in three rounds
Jesus Christ what's going on with this game
The Sombra was diamond too. A diamond player throwing why just why on earth.
And oh yeah they all refused to talk/party up. GG

With previous events the new arcade week has started before event ended. So I'd say at least another 24 hours based on previous events.
I just don't understand it. We are trying so hard to get to Diamond and they don't care. I don't mind losing every game if we can have fun/hard fights but losing because of trolls is sad.

That leads to people getting a "high" and then being too afraid to play.

I didn't buy boxes this event but I did play + get the arcade boxes for all 3 weeks and I got 3 skins from drops... and none of them were new skins lol

Yeah that's true, maybe losing the emblem will be enough to stop it.
It's crazy, this event I've opened more boxes than any other, 40+ and have 1.

Decay at all ranks!
Speaking personally, I'd rather not start off where I ended last season, as a combination of throwers, poor communication, & jerks have tanked my SR.

I also didn't even get 1k credits but a whole lot of vanilla sprays and voice lines I don't care about.
