This is a very good point, as D.Va's mobility options are very limited when she's on foot. I actually wonder who's the slowest moving character in the game?
Click to expand...

The only characters with higher than standard base move speed are Genji and Tracer. D.Va has the highest situational move speed penalty which is firing in the mech.

Wait, Lucio's base move speed isn't as fast as the likes of Tracer? You'd think with wearing roller-blades would increase is overall speed.

Yeah I have seen situations like that, I guess when they have a buddy with them.
Hell I had a Lucio who did no healing at all and was just trying to rack up kills...I was like wtf? He was not even on the objective

Her pistol is really quite good. And it doesn't take many hits to get back in your mech.

Sort of does. Two eliminations will get you back in. So if you can go for low health enemies and/or head shots it's not to bad. But if you're in the middle of it you will probably die. Step one to no mech D.Va is to get the hell out of dodge then try to find easy pickings.

Yeah.. looked so boring tbh after seeing it in action. Not saying that out of jealousy or anything like that. It is just... your dmg is being boosted the whole time and you're being healed all the time. Much less risk, no fun.

Yeah, but it'll never happen the same way they never added the option in WoW to avoid being put into in-progress raids/dungeons. They don't want people actively avoiding in-progress groups causing them to never fill up anymore if someone leaves.

They should make her pistol even stronger to compensate for the low health, or just increase her health a little bit.
Click to expand...

Her pistol is awesome. Really easy to pester people and even get some kills with it. I actually prefer it over her dorky peashooters that she uses on her mech just because she can use her pistol at range effectively.

The need to make her mech-mode better. Her out of mech mode is fine being kinda crappy, but not if being in her mech is also kinda crappy.

Whenever I see one of those pocket Mercy's who is very clearly only ever healing and boosting a single Person, I always wonder how ridiculously beta you have to be to literally be someone's healbitch.

Don't get me wrong,I heal my friends when I Play healer, but I also heal the rest of the Team and I heal/boost whoever is the best choice at the Moment.
If one of my friends told me to exclusively heal him,every game, every time we play, i'd tell him to fuck off,lol.

Is there still a way to rate players individually? I remember that being in beta at some point but I don't see it anymore.
Click to expand...
You can rate the match, but no not a single player.

Does rating a match do anything? I mean if 1 star would shame some of these games or players, I would totally do that. Uggh.

You'd be surprised at how much mecha d.va can dodge. Not as annoying as Lucio, but nothing is as annoying as lucio.

And I play as a really annoying lucio.

I like d.va's mech mode. Although it could probably use perhaps a little bit less damage drop off. It seems to drop off around 10m, mmmmaaaaaaaaaybe 15m. Another big maybe on tighter spread.

Also try different sensitivities in options to find the best for you, especially horizontal.

I don't have a Gaming Mouse. When I built my rig I was pretty confident I could just use a Controller on everything.

Minecraft proved me wrong...

then I found out PC games don't usually have aim assist for controllers, Overwatch included.

Wow, now many players, after playing the stacking Tjorb and Bast, quit when it's their turn to attack, and even leaving a new lobby when it's Attack mode.

I don't even count the leavers at the end of a lost match.

Anything to keep this W/L ratio up, huh ?

People use D.Va like a Reaper, as her mech's high damage output at close range (coupled with her mech's mobility) gives her the tools to blast her foes in and escape before they can react.

Really, ganking and harassing are her strong suits.

No, if you think about it that is the design you want otherwise you would zoom past your team mates out of boost range.

Funny cause at least on PC at higher levels of play, attackers have a higher winrate than defenders.

Click to expand...

So, playing a lot of Mercy, I don't do this, but, perhaps tangentially, I do (say on a defend map or Attack on Rt 66) favor boosting a Widow or a Bastion, then if I see someone in trouble, I bounce out, heal, then go back to who I think has the best angle or shot or is mowing people down. But, even that has limits, if the team still gets past a checkpoint or if the person I'm boosting starts missing, I'll go find others.

i just experienced the frustration of combo mccree. fuck that noise. absolutely no fun to come around a corner and get stunned and six-shotted in the face.

on the other hand, tracer on defence works quite well.

Who are the better Twitch and YouTube Overwatch content creators? I'm a big fan of Kripp, Hafu, Kibler for Hearthstone.

Easier than creating the content! Although I don't care too much so as long as he isn't profiting. If he is, then he should source.

Does anyone else jump on the payload and do the "In the groove" dancing emote as Lucio when you are doing the final push into the destination when the enemies are rushing back but you know its too late for them?

I don't quit, but it is pretty much a lost cause so I understand why it happens
With overlapping turrets and Bastion, outside of a skilled premade group on mikes you will lose. Period
I'm talking from my perspective as someone who solo's in with PUGs
I mentioned this last night, a game will be
MAYBE even group of attackers and defenders (or they will already be mostly Bastion and Torb). If attackers take the first objective the group will swap out to have overlapping turrets.

The turrets are so precise, taking out a single one can be a challenge, when they overlap you will not do it as the first will just be rebuilt while going for the second and you will be killed.

After queueing and getting 5 attack objectives in a row. I'm definately taking a break from the game for the rest of the day. I hope Blizz adds more options to the game soon (like unique characters per team) as I can see myself dropping it at this point

Turrets need to be changed so that they actually scan and will shoot when you are detected.

Overwatch -for being Blizzard's first foray into FPSs - is surprisingly well balanced.

I believe McCree is really the only one who should be needed because he takes tanks down just too quickly. I'm willing to bet those that get taken down my McCree super quick who aren't tanks will be upset when the update hits because I think the two for those heroes will be the same.

Also keep seeing ppl complain about Torbjorn's torrents and Bastion turret form, but folks there's a counter to this. Genji, Widowmaker, hell for Torbjorn's turrents I use Winston backed up by a Mercy and take them out.

Make sure you have someone on your team to provide these counters. If you're playing solo then you change your character and counter to help your team.

I've played as Torbjorn's and a good Pharah/Widowmaker will make quick work of me and my turrets.
