Playing Tracer a lot lately and last night I went up against another team with a pretty good Tracer on it. We won the match, I got 43 Eliminations and the other Tracer got 46% Kill Participation. For whatever reason the other Tracer got 6 commendations and I got none. I'm not bitter but it got me thinking what is an Elimination vs Kill Participation?

It was probably the other team only voting for the only option that had a team member on it. Happens after every game.

elims are assists + kills, it's the same thing as participation. they just phrase it that way for the end-game card.

So there's a glitch that seems to allow Symmetra to place sentries inside the geometry on at least one map huh? Hopefully this gets patched soon as it makes it entirely impossible to win.

If you're referring to the gif someone posted recently that didn't look like it was inside geometry at all, just that the laser was going through the floor.

Different one. Definitely inside the geometry. Seems Blizzard are aware though so should be sorted shortly I guess.

Blizzard already said they're on it.

Good to hear. I was kinda surprised it went so far through beta and only just seems to have surfaced.

What is it with these developers fucking aim up lately? Halo 5 and now this bullshit. I'm glad I'm having fun in the PC version of the game.
Has blizzard even acknowledged that the input delay is fucked?
Click to expand...

I've noticed this too. Halo 5 is one of the only FPS games in the last two decades where I've struggled to aim. I could land headshots on every shot in 4. The aim feels a little swimmy in Overwatch too. Doom nailed it recently so it's apparently not impossible.

Blizzard is working on it to fix the glitch on Dorado. Pharah's rockets can also destroy them btw, they're not invincible.

Alright, you are playing in solo que and have to deal with multiple turrets plus a Reinhart on Anubis, what do you do?
Click to expand...
AoE ulti (bomb, dragon, reaper, graviton, etc.) + 3 spammers (Junkrat, Pharah), Mercy, and someone to pick off other teams Mercy, or shotcall if she dies to spam.

I've just taken to spamming it with JunkRat tbh.

Any Mercy bros in here?

Support > Everything else

And I hate healers in MMORPGs. But healers in this game are another world. Love me some Mercy GILF.
Click to expand...

Not sure about the "bro" part, but Mercy is who I mostly play (unless I'm pissed off at a team for not appreciating me and then switch to someone else just to have fun). I love healers, but get upset at how hard it is so often to play them in shooters and feel like you're actually being recognized for your actions. That's why I'm really loving Overwatch, because you feel just as acknowledged by the game for how much you heal as how much you hurt.

Ugh my win loss ratio is abysmal due to PUGs and it's really ruining my enjoyment of this game. I'm just constantly getting placed on really bad teams. I don't have time to play with a group as I usually only have 30 minutes or so a session. As much as I enjoy the game I'm not sure it's for me unless matchmaking in Ranked is handled wel, because it sucks in the standard queue. I'll play until BF1 comes out though :(

I need advice. I suck at getting kills. The only characters that get me on the scoreboard thing where people vote at the end are Mei or Lucio. And those aren't for kills.

Tips for a newbie?

Remember that the game is about objectives not kills. Help out with spraying some damage around, but eliminations are incidental to you pushing the objective. If you're just awful at aiming or something, play a tank or support character until you improve.

I've finally hit the same point I hit with tf2 were I just disabled music and listened to shit on youtube instead. The OST is great but starts to get a bit repetitive after listening to it 100 times.

Play McCree. Get close to them, hit E, Right click, win.

Pharah is another one that's easy to learn. I'd say play Bastion and Torb as well.

It's debatable. 12v12 makes it easier to grind the game to a halt in TF2 when you get to choke points. A good team can rofl stomp in a couple of minutes. In a 6v6, aka Highlander, you play matches at a similar pace as Overwatch. The biggest difference is that instead on relying on a medic to Uber for a big push, in Overwatch you have multiple people who can start/stop a push.
Click to expand...

Highlander is 9v9 where each team has one of each class ("You can only have one"). Those move at a similar pace to Overwatch matches and are played on similar maps (Payload and KotH).

TF2 6v6 is played on 5CP, and building Uber isn't extraordinarily important since you generally don't have to worry about pushing through Sentries and Heavies. It's ultimately faster than Overwatch because of this.

When you're having an amazing Mei game, a truly ruinous rampage, you know you're just sapping all enjoyment from every person on the other team and it's glorious.

Is anyone constantly getting "There is a new version of overwatch available please exit and restart"? I have had that come on my screen 4 times today and have downloaded the update 4 times.

Haha. We just played like 5 hours and you don't notice how late it's getting. Can't remember the last time a game did this (besides LoL)

I can't wait for ranked and some matchmaking changes. This weekly brawl makes the game a lot more enjoyable compared to the turret spam shit in regular modes.

Yes, I know I have been complaining about turrets for a while now, but I can't just keep on countering them over and over just because my teammates do jackshit to them. I play with 1-2 friends, not a full team right now, so there is always randoms. Winning or losing doesn't matter as turrets suck so much enjoyment out of the game.


Edit: Omnics can get EMP'd in the story, give us a hero that can do it easily against turrets.
