Overwatch |OT5| 15 Million Strong, None Are On The Payload

Well, lower sens doesn't make it faster, but it makes it easier to go fast, yeah. It just makes it so that if you wanna go faster and do those micro level corrections you have more precision. If you go too low on PC it's still too slow. You basically want it as low as you can possibly get while still being to do a 180 easily on your mousepad.

When your tank starts swinging in overtime and forgets that he has to be near the payload to keep overtime alive.
yea, i know what it does. i'm just saying that you need to adjust them to opposite ends between PC and consoles. so when i said i raised my sensitivity numerically, PC guys were asking me if i meant lowering them.
calling out turrets and snipers is also great.
yup, it's stupid that they did that between PC and console for the sensitivity settings. I ordered a SCUF controller for PS4 this week. I'm excited too.
Which one, if I may ask?
Thank you for this. So at least Blizzard is aware that there is some sort of issue going on with certain supports and rank gain. Hopefully they will have it ironed out by the start of S2.

It does so, so many smart things with voice lines, including subtle psychology boosts like nearby friendly heroes complimenting you on your kills.
Zowie FK1.
I was on a G600 for a bit cause I used to play games that style of mouse is good for. The issue is it's a bit big for my smaller hands and the sensor in it is honestly pretty shit for FPS stuff. It didn't bother me too much until I started to push myself into doing flicks and snaps. That tiny delay and accel attached to that sensor has been pissing me off to no end.
Hoping the nice sensor in the Zowie and the smaller shell help me get over that.

Best guess is CDs and stuff like jump? The kinda stuff you don't want to have to take your thumb off a stick to do.
yea, i dunno what to map to paddles yet. will need to do some testing in QP. altho i just want a higher quality controller than the DS4. it has good reviews so i'll try it out.

Do you mind linking the source? I find it difficult to believe Blizzard thinks that Weapon Accuracy weighs that heavily towards SR.
The audio/sound design in general is my favorite thing about the game.
I noticed that, I spent a moment looking through my emotes to see if I had it. It's awesome.

TFW you join a competitive match and people are actually talking strategy on mic.
TFW your whole team actually gets behind Reinhardt.
TFW your Lucio speed boosts everyone through the chokepoint.
TFW you crack open the defense like a tin can.
TFW you do this with a team of six solo queuers.
...
TFW they all say "goodbye" and you never see them again.

Does the enemy team hear that as well? one time I stuck behind a enemy sniper with Pharah and she yelled out enemy sniper. And widow had a reaction without me doing anything.
Speaking of mice, what cm/360 do people here play on?
I'm at 31.5cm/360 and keep McCree/Soldier at 34.6 cm/360. My mousepad is 14in wide, so roughly 35cm.

It's a good idea to know this in relation to the size of your mousepad if you don't already know it btw :x

I played soldier a little on the PTR yesterday and the change feels really good. I was managing to get some good burst damage on mercy and pharah from a good distance. He will be in a much better spot when this goes live.

When I play Soldier I just try to look out for everyone on the team. My crowning moments aren't when I push the payload, because in my day we would've had it there already or when I have the enemy in my sights or when I get Q of the game. It's when I force Mei into her icebox before she can kill our healer, it's when I pepper shots at Genji and then finish him off with a Helix rocket, it's when a tank shouts I need healing and no Support is around, but I've got a biotic field to spare. God bless god and god bless Soldier 76.
Wonder how I can translate this to a trackball. I'll have to play around with it tonight.
Agree its annoying trying to snipe something and a team runs into my line of sight.
yep, happened a lot to me today in king's row

Biotic Field's really cool. Since we're also on the subject of voice lines, one of the things I wish the game did is give a team, map-wide announcement of putting down a field since I could sometimes use healing and only accidentally stumble upon a field a Soldier's put down. Having Soldier see allies' health just like the full healers would be neat too. Sometimes my teammates ask for it, but I'd like to see if they're low on health so I can plant a healing zone right by them.
people are guessing that it's weapon accuracy - guessing at what the common thread is between Mercy, Lucio, and Junkrat that would cause all three to be disadvanted in SR.
Kaplan identified those three as potentially impacted, but didn't say why. Accuracy sounds plausible given how those heroes's weapons work and how they are played. But you are right, there could be another common thread. Whatever it is, hopefully the issue gets resolved.
(the kaplan posts are right above my post that you quoted)
Glad to see they acknowledge that.

This is real weird, since spamming Genji shurikens and spamming Junkrat grenades at headshot level is basically what you do to get surprise kills and get your ult charged up. Does anyone actually have an average accuracy over 40%?

My favorite 1V1 thing to do is shoot at Genji, then stop shooting and watch him waste his reflect while looking like a dork.
Then I shoot him.
Wait, Junkrat is at an MMR disadvantage? I love playing Junkrat. Go figure lol.
There's a controls option for Zarya and S76 (All chars on the PTR I think?) that lets you see teammate's health bars

I play with a tiny keyboard tray that pulls out from my undersized desk, so I do everything exclusively from the wrist and make tiny movements. It's awesome!
(It's not awesome.)
I'm at, like, 10cm/360.

Go to Social, you'll see the players you played with last, add them.
One guy I played with a while ago did that with me, I was Mercy, he was Roadhog and we pretty much carried the game together, and he added me.

Oh cool, I've always wondered about this.
400 dpi, 58 sens, 5.972 sens in cm/360
In retrospect, this seems wrong. 2 inches is def not a 360... I think.

Also, if raw accuracy affects placement, I'm just gonna use Zarya. My accuracy with her in comp last season was 51%.

How did you console peeps do competitive for S1? Solo queue or with 1 - 5 friends? I'm thinking about actually trying it in S2 and am wondering if turning on public chat is going to be necessary if my roomie isn't home to join me.

For comp, unless you're all really good, you want to solo-duo queue.
Kaplan update - fix on the way!:

I currently have jump and crouch mapped to my paddles, but I only ever really use jump. There isn't another face button that I really need quick access to. I tried having melee on the back but it felt unnatural and in twitch moments I was still using the right stick to melee, so I switched it back to crouch.
It's easier to teabag fast though lmao
Started out solo and it went badly most of the time with some good win streaks. Grouped up and did better most of the time. Full groups is a mixed bag because sometimes you get stomped by some really good full groups. Partial groups is the best I think.

My friends and I think duo/trio is best. Four- or five-man is the worst, because you can end up with two randoms versus a coordinated full team.
Also, you don't all have to be really good to do well as a full team, but you do need to have actual roles, heroes and general strategies figured out amongst yourselves.
I know a lot of people are probably sick of hearing about it at this point but I've been thinking a lot about the Sombra ARG since yesterday and I've been thinking about writing up a big critique of it up to this point. I'm not sure if anyone will care but If anyone does I'll write it up. I just don't want to clog up the thread with a huge wall of text no one will care about.
