Man, Junkrat is disgusting. I just played my first TDM against Hanzo, Widow, Genji and Soldier and I got 20 kills, 67% kill participation.

 

[Mr Git]

Aiming feels weird or I'm high. TDM is a lot of fun though. Very good duel practice for characters. I just warmed up my Tracer pretty quickly.

Well got third place for my first DM. Soldier should be a nice pick, but damn at a Junkrat killing the match.

 

[LiK]

Is his genius finally recognized?

 

[Veelk]

So, can anyone tell me about the aiming change?

At this point, I'm 100% used to exponential ramp, but I've been told that's super bad.

Also, it's fucking with me when I play other shooters. I just got Wolfenstein the new order, and I can't aim for shit.

Am I really handicapping myself by not learning a new aiming scheme or what?

 

[Incendiary]

Doomfist hitbox fix is definitely live in the new patch.

At least, that's what I'm going to tell myself after that horrible performance as him in QP.

Well got third place for my first DM. Soldier should be a nice pick, but damn at a Junkrat killing the match.

I got second in my first Deathmatch. Reaper is a pretty good choice.

 

[Prelude.]

I guess this was known since I assume it was the same on PTR, but you can't double mine a trap, so it's probably fair like this.

Or maybe you can't just have 2 mines active at the same time generally? I didn't have enough time to test it out.

I was first on Hog until 15ish and someone went Reaper and ruined it. The healing is just too much.

She sort of looks like a cross between Zarya and Reinhardt but with more sex appeal. I wonder if she is actually in the works in terms of being a new playable character.

 

[The Artful Dodger]

Never playing any other mode again. It's Deathmatch all the time.

Spoiler

this isn't true

 

[Sora the Cat]

Welp, DM is really addictive.

 

[Salarians]

ugh, these console control changes

time to spend a ridiculous amount of time trying out new settings

So Storm from 90s X-Men got a comically epic boob job?

Unless she's going to heal you like Torb repairs his turrets, I don't see her being the next hero.

Ah, I get it now. They nerfed hogs damage so that they can introduce her as the new hero with a hook combo one shot. Look at the giant hook / axe thing she's wielding, it's so obvious.

Spoiler

Let me dream :/

There were three Hogs and a D.VA in the match. The best part is I kept stealing kills from the D.Va's self-destruct with death blossom.

Is that Storm? lol

 

[LiK]

Okay, New settings aren't fucking me up as much as I thought. It sorta feels like I'm playing with a rubber band on the stick for some reason. It's a strange feeling. I think I can adjust fairly quickly. It feels more responsive but it's def a different feel.

 

[Blues1990]

I was honestly expecting a Imperator Furiosa or Valkyrie character, so the large rack and punk haircut really threw me off.

Ah, I get it now. They nerfed hogs damage so that they can introduce her as the new hero with a hook combo one shot. Look at the giant hook / axe thing she's weilding, it's so obvious.

The king is dead, man. Let him lay to rest.

Looks like we got oursevles a fast melee defense character. A smaller, faster, more mobile Reinhardt.

 

[LiK]

Lmao. First time in DM and picked Junk and got first place. Fun.

 

[CMojicaAce]

Just won a Free for All Death match with Symmetra

All thanks to one Hanzo who refused to switch even though I kept on melting him. Seriously, I must have gotten 10 kills on him alone.

 

[Incendiary]

Had some of the worst matches I've ever had in Overwatch tonight in regards to elims/actually hitting things I'm aiming at. Didn't feel like the new settings were affecting anything but clearly at some level they were, because everything felt off tonight.

Not super jazzed about jumping into comp when it starts while the controls are like this.

 

[Talonz]

New Orisa buffs feel pretty good! The faster shots are immediately noticeable, allowing her to land shots on Genji and Pharah more reliably. And that shield is quite large.

The faster shots and halt are making a world of difference.

I'm almost positive once you hit a certain amount of playtime with hanzo...the game removes all other characters from the hero select screen.

 

[LiK]

These new console settings seem to help out the hitscan and snipers more. Hanzo and McCree doing work or maybe the DM players just have better aim.

 

[Sir Griffith]

I like Junkertown, I like new Mercy and D.Va

Game feels good to play again in PTR

*knows who will benefit from this and is deeply sad*

Someone asked in an interview and the rep kinda did a bad dogde, I wanna say it seems like they are at least probably messing with ideas for the character. I mean they have a voice already.

 

[RecRoulette]

If I have all aim assists off on console, the aim changes shouldn't mess anything up right?

Stupid update is still downloading, doesn't help that SFV, FFXV, and Tekken all dropped updates today too.

 

[LiK]

TDM is fun but the spawn is random as shit. People end up behind you at times. Just won one when I got the last kill when we were tied. My Zen killed a Genji who was up my ass lol

 

[Mutant]

why is it just eight players in deathmatch

why do you have to restrain everything that's fun in this game, blizzard? >:\

Doesn't matter. The actual movement of aiming just feels different. Whatever you're used to, prepare for a different feel. I might adjust one hero I don't play often until I get the settings to feeling a bit more like it used to before I bother with Comp. But the change seems to benefit certain heroes more from what I played.

 

[Veelk]

OMG I CANNOT TAKE THESE CONTROLS

I AM SHIT WITH SOME CHARACTERS ON SOME SETTINGS BUT GOOD WITH OTHER CHARACTERS ON THOSE EXACT SAME SETTING

HELP

WHAT SETTINGS DO I USE

 

[randomusername]

Woah just played a match on console and my accuracy felt super off. Should probably pay more attention to patch notes lol. What's everyone else's settings at?

 

[Nicolada]

So far the most fun I've had with deathmatch is getting into a duel with someone while we repeatedly jumped high into the air with the new map's jump pads. Chaotic fun.

 

[Veelk]

I can't help but think that Deathmatch is just a kill stealing piece of shit in terms of being an actual game

But holy god, they finally made a practice mode that fucking WORKS!

This is what Quickplay should have been all along.

Character specific controls bro. I know it's possible on PC.

Good warm up mode and easiest way to earn weekly lootboxes. I like it. Too bad they included some shitty new aim mode.

I have specified controls to a character, but wouldn't non-universal aiming fuck up my...aiming?

 

[Incitemaybe]

How big is the file size for the update on ps4?

How to win in DM:

Pick Soldier, Sombra, McCree or Symmetra

 

[Blues1990]

I'm currently exploring the JunkerTown map, and I'm honestly trying to find the location of Junkrat's "treasure". I discovered a couple of pressure switches in the Attackers Spawn Room, along with a safe outside of the spawn (that looks like Junkrat's lab).

Anyone else have better luck with finding the secret?

 

[thepotatoman]

Sombra is fun in deathmatch. That wallhack for weak enemies is pretty good.

Now they just need to make 5 more deathmatch maps, and the mode will be good.

 

[Maddocks]

I was hyped to play death match till I actually played it. Mostly because of the small number of players. Why is it that its 8 players but 12 for objective based games? Blizzard seems to think smaller is better. 4v4, 3v3, 1v1.

Team death match should be 8v8, come on now its supposed to be a fun dumb mode you turn off the brain, listen to a podcast and play, but with that low of numbers and small area of the map, its kinda boring and if you have someone who can heal,tank,dps you are going to win.

Yeah, it should be the opposite. Fun game modes should have more players, competitive modes should have less.

 

[PAULINK]

junkrat is disgusting now, and I love it.

This is actually a great idea imo

 

[shintoki]

I hate TDM.

Done really well in all my DM as Tracer, Soldier, Pharah.

But TDM is a nightmare. Still have yet to get placed on a team where someone else will be the healer. I don't mind it... but I shouldn't have most kills too.
