Support NeoGAF

[mbpm1]

Mostly I vote matches that I won in as good, and ones I lost bc of a bad team as bad.

I don't know if it does anything but I want someone to know.

Somewhere ;_;

 

[chrominance]

I always vote for myself and if I can't, I downvote the whole game.

Spoiler

Actually I vote objective time or objective kills. Or support. They need more love.

Man, no one ever seems to vote for objective time/kills. I actually get kind of self-conscious if I get the objective time card specifically (which I do a lot, since I play tons of Lucio). It feels like the participation award of Overwatch, even though it's actually super important.

I always vote for the "worst" player on my enemy team, in hopes to inflate their ego and they will stick around some more so I can kill them again and again.

[Dead Prince]

when not playing i watch streams of people playing on twitch. LOL terrible.

when i stop playing at night before bed i watch stream then i get an itch to play just one more round. terriblex2

 

[Seraphis Cain]

It seems like every time I play, Support characters barely gets any votes. Unless they get a POTG.

I always give my vote to a Lucio, Mercy, or Symmetra if they come up in the cards. Even if they aren't on my team. Support characters deserve all the appreciation.

 

[cr0w]

Like others have said this doesn't happen very often, but when it does to me it feels like a fun change of pace. For me anyway.

It would have been fun if it wasn't a complete bloodbath. All I heard all game was PEW PEW ARGH!!

Yeah, without fail, if it's a payload attack and I'm playing Lucio, I will always get the "Most Objective Time" card at the end. You'd think everyone else would realize that hanging around both A) the thing we need to move in order to win the match and B) the guy pumping out healing energy on a regular basis would be a good thing, but I suppose not.

 

[TheCanisDirus]

Being forced to use roadhog in brawl I see why I get hooked so much, you don't even have to be slightly accurate with it...

Lol huh? Your experience with the hook is vastly different than mine then. You have to be accurate with it... crosshairs need to be over the character and you need to lead them if they're moving fast or you wont get a hook. Do you happen to have any gameplay highlighting what you're referencing by chance?

 

[PayOffWizard]

It would have been fun if it wasn't a complete bloodbath. All I heard all game was PEW PEW ARGH!!

Next time switch to pharah and enjoy you most eliminations card.

 

[Mupod]

My favorite card is the McCree fan the hammer card, like LOL you're proud of that? It's like being proud of your bumper bowling score.


As for overall match rating I always go 2 stars unless it was an extremely close most epic game ever or if there was a troll or major shit talker.

My friends and I always vote for that, it's become an injoke at this point.

My actual favorite card is Armor Pack Uptime.

 

[Brandwin]

Is there a list of PS4 guys who are looking to group up? Hardly of my the people on my friends list have the game of if they did, they stopped playing. For me though, this is the most fun I have had in a shooter in a long time. Playing with randoms has been fine for the most part, but I know grouping up would make it a lot better.

 

[Mobius and pet octopus]

Roadhog is super easy to hook... against players that don't know how to weave and dodge it properly. It's easy to land against some people... hard to land against people who are very adept at playing against roadhog. Also quite easy to bait out a bad hook and that 8 second downtime is easily punished by a lot of characters.

Wait where the hell are these features? I've never noticed them.

Top of the screen after the match, at least on PC.

 

[Rad-]

lol

I've probably rated 1% of my matches played. I forgot that feature existed. I use avoid player pretty heavily though.

Wait where the hell are these features? I've never noticed them.

Match rating is PC specific I think.

Saw someone who appeared to have glitched into the actual Payload item earlier today, on Xbox One.

[patchday]

It could but since they've said they tuned some damage values and other gameplay mechanics things differently on console it's very unlikely. They would have to patch both platforms to meet in the middle if they did crossplay.

PC vs console is not going to ever happen.

 

[LucidMomentum]

Whenever I see a 50% or more total team damage healed, I vote for that person.

Supports need love too!

Someone earlier in the thread stumbled upon this as well, apparently if the payload is in the area Tracer recalls to she gets stuck in the payload. You can recall out of it though.

 

[TheFatMan]

Me and my friends went 6 Torbjorns last night (We are all above level 30, so we weren't playing new players).

We won 9 out of our 11 matches. And almost one another. Usually we sit at 50% on our win loss record.

Imba much?

 

[JonCha]

The new game made is really good for getting a grasp on many of the heroes. It'd be interesting to see the split between that and Quick Play; it seems like I'm getting games marginally quicker in the latter.

 

[ShadowsFell]

Understood. Thanks!

 

[toastyToast]

Game is mercilessly trying to push my wins down now. 10 defenses in a row of complete curb stomping. If the teams were randomly assigned I wouldn't be the one getting moonwalked on every single time.

 

[KevMan1815]

Whenever I see a 50% or more total team damage healed, I vote for that person.

I'd hope anyone would vote for more than 50% healed. That's really good.

I mean, that's teleporting/time travel for you right

"Widowmaker is on our radar. We are discussing her. We have some internal experiments going to see if we can keep her viable while lowering the frustration threshold a little bit. Right now, this is just exploration. If something more comes of it, we'll let you know."

No thank you blizzard and thanks goodbye

Spoiler

really though I think Widow is fine... She's definitely up there as a really good character but she's not broken - instead of nerfing the effective characters they should make the less effective characters more effective

 

[jacobs34]

It's astounding how many people seem to ignore the big fuck-off Reinhardt shield that's right there in front of them. So many people just run through it and die or sit behind it doing nothing while you inch forward until it breaks.

It's the worst with Bastions because they shred the shield so fast that every second counts, but no one seems to get that they can fire through it to force the Bastion to move.

It makes me never want to play the character in solo que. The real problem is that if I pick a tank like Rein, no one will pick a support character. It's getting to the point where the only viable character for me to pick to help the team is Roadhog, because I can still tank for people and get my own healing. It's crazy how much more fun this game is to play with a premade group, thank goodness for Gaffers and Redditors.

 

[ExVicis]

I'd hope anyone would vote for more than 50% healed. That's really good.

When I see that it's almost an automatic commend. That person healed their ass off and tried their best to keep everyone alive. They deserve to be complimented for their hard effort.

 

[Zemm]

Thinking of heroes they can add and I'll be pissed if they ever add a character like the Spy from TF2 that can go invisible.

Check out the the OP, there's a google doc there that lists people on each platform you can add.

Yep Widow is totally fine. Pro aimers are in every FPS

 

[XpopcornX]

Can you hit it?

Nope thats why it makes me sad.

 

[Earthpainting]

Never had that happen when going solo. You guys have some luck.

I've been pitted against 6 Symmetras before. It wasn't too hard to adapt to, but it was pretty intimidating to wander in a place and your entire screen lights up with laser turrets. It's all in good fun though, so I don't mind people playing around like this. Sometimes gimmicks like that mix up the game in interesting ways.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Yup, fighting against anyone with really good aim is going to be "frustrating".

 

[The Lamonster]

if my card appears I vote for myself everytime lol

yeah, I don't get why you wouldn't. It doesn't mean anything anyway.

I would like another chance with a team of Symms. Need the trophies for the turrets and teleporter kills. That's the only way. I totally blew it that one time my group went up against that.

 

[KevMan1815]

Everyone knows getting PotG is the only thing that matters.

 

[Nappuccino]

Honestly, I think Blizzard needs to work on balancing the maps more so than most of the characters.

 

[abundant]

Don't worry, they won't. They tried to have a hero that could go invisible, but found it to be OP and couldn't find a way to balance it, so they scrapped the idea instead.

 

[BigDug13]

My favorite card is the McCree fan the hammer card, like LOL you're proud of that? It's like being proud of your bumper bowling score.


As for overall match rating I always go 2 stars unless it was an extremely close most epic game ever or if there was a troll or major shit talker.

That's pretty funny that Blizzard had a stat tracker to track kills specifically from fan the hammer when they're pretending they didn't expect fan the hammer to become McCree's primary attack method.

 

[Zomba13]

Like others have said this doesn't happen very often, but when it does to me it feels like a fun change of pace. For me anyway.

I love matches of all the same character (either on my team or against) it's super fun trying to counter a mixed team with a single hero and having to work together to take down some hard counters.

 

[orthodoxy1095]

OT3 so close I can taste it.

 

[Bilix]

Don't worry, they won't. They tried to have a hero that could go invisible, but found it to be OP and couldn't find a way to balance it, so they scrapped the idea instead.

Damn. Spy is my favorite class to play. Let me just disguise and backstab. No invis needed.

 

[Majine]

OT3 so close I can taste it.

Will we make it before we get relegated to the depths of Gaming Community forum?

 

[ViviOggi]

If they don't address Widow soon I'll grow tired of this game way earlier than I expected, McCree might be more busted in a vacuum but current Widow is infinitely more oppressive. Utter fucking garbage design that should never have made it through testing.

 

[Brandwin]

The new game made is really good for getting a grasp on many of the heroes. It'd be interesting to see the split between that and Quick Play; it seems like I'm getting games marginally quicker in the latter.

There's a new game mode, how did I miss that announcement?

Will do, thanks!

EDIT: Not seeing it, but my work browser is crappy sometimes.

How do you "buff others" when the problems with widow are things like quick recharge time and a powerful secondary fire that allows a long range specialist to go up against other primaries in close combat ?

A good widow player will break your game due to how much of an oddity a traditional sniper is in a game like this. It was the same in TF2, but atleast he had a long recharge time, shit secondaries and didn't have an escape option with a grapple hook and yet he ruled a lot of modes. Take TF2 sniper's hard counters such as Spy and Soldier and observe how quickly they can take him out. Now look at Widow's counter and notice how long they take to kill in comparison to their TF2 counterpart and how much Widow can fight back AS WELL AS notice how other characters do against their counters in Overwatch itself. You'll see a disparity there.

 

[Sane_Man]

This game would be so more fun if Bastion and Widowmaker were removed entirely and the tracking and health of turrets was nerfed. Every attack game has become the exact same in public games.

 

[robertlebrone]

I still do the thing where if my team was utter shit, I'll vote for the enemy player that fucked us the most (assuming they got a card, which usually yes) and downvote the match itself. I do it partially because the person who shut us down generally does deserve it, but I admit there's a bit of "F U TEAM" behind it as well.

Speaking of which what does down voting the match do? Does it mean you do the get matched back up with the same people?
