Just tried playing with my Intuos Pro art tablet for shits and giggles and it went surprisingly well? The only thing that sucked was getting used to tapping being left click and the pen button being right click and not having the biggest tablet, so I had to constantly readjust. It is insanely easy to snipe using it, using characters like D.VA... Not so much. It's pretty fun though. Never tried using it for gaming before.
I'm herudo on PSN living in +3GMT. (I've got hesido on a different region PSN), maybe add me and we can push together if out play time matches. I'm a mediocre player but I'm terribly objective oriented.
This was from two weeks ago, dat objective time lol.

WHY.jpg
Had my most intense game ever yesterday. Was in a group of five, and the sixth team member quite on us when we lost the first point(first round) in Hollywood! We still ended up winning 4 - 3 in the 5 vs 6 game, three of us had over 60 elimination! Had 67 eliminations despite playing support the first round, was shaking by the end of the game.
Got regular amount of points after the win though.

ETA on console Sombra ;_;
I know you are a staunch Symm fan. If it makes you happy, chase your wildest dreams man.
Mobile version of OW?

It's seeming like Nov. 22nd. Tuesdays are patch days, and the recent announcement for the next free weekend (not this weekend, next) mentioned "twenty-two playable characters," and Sombra is the twenty-third. So, people are assuming that means she won't be out next week.
That's quite a gamble you took there. I would've at least waited till I found out if that promised Symmetra redesign turned awful or not.

I mean I know she's considered to be pretty dang terrible right now but she's my favorite hero. She's super fun and easily who I'm best with. And when her redesign rolls out, if she ends up great, it'll feel nice to have.
I have no idea whose weapon to work towards next now though lmao. Don't have the same odd attachment to any of the other heroes quite like Symmetra. Maybe Mercy or something idk.

also yes I know my computer is a potato, runs at a nice stable framerate though 👌🏼
thanks for this.
I also like to play as Symmetra, unfortunately my teammates do not like when I play as Symmetra.
Symmetra is actually pretty deadly in the right hands, she can melt an unsuspecting D.va or Reinhard easily.
That one pro team a week ago ran Symmetra/Torb/Ana combo and it wrecked shit lol
and the right team. If you have teammates that know how to play with Symmetra you can really handle another team. Obviously at higher levels its more difficult, but Ive seen it done.
I love watching an attack Symmetra on higher levels just steamrolling through people lol

I have about 4500 points so I can purchase a Golden gun. But, I hate Golden guns. At the end of the season will I go over my cap if I'm at 3000 SR? I don't want to waste points but I don't know how many are rewarded. I'm really hoping they add something bedsides the gold weapons.

I believe you get 1200 points at Diamond, so you won't go over cap
What mod is this that puts pixel art filter on Overwatch?
Yeah, they're terrible looking. You may as well spend the pints if you've got them, but aside from the handful of skins they go well with, the golden weapons are just tacky.

Some skins pair super nice with them though. Any of the ones with Gold accents or coloring. Like Soldier, Zarya, Symmetra has quite a few, Zen.
Edit: that's literally what you said, I'm tired
As far as I'm aware, no.

Some of the golden weapons look pretty badass (excuse the IQ), I think I might pick up a golden axe next.

Some golden gun/skin combinations look really good though.
This is a good example. I also like Zarya's Violet & Weightlifter skins with her Golden Gun, as they both look pretty ace.

Good. The more time shes tested in the PTR before shes out in the wild, the better.
Back to my discussion on tanks...
How can you survive long enough as Winston without using your bubble? I mean, if I've dropped the bubble to help a push, I have to stay with it, because Winston just doesn't have the damage reduction to deal with focus fire unlike Rien/D.Va/Zarya.
I love Winston, I want to be a good Winston. I just can't main tank as Winston.

You have to know when and whom to engage, and when you have to jump out back to safety. I recommend watching Miro, the Korean Winston player, play, and see when he decides to engage or disengage.

That's the thing, I can do that with relative success...as an off-tank.
I have my shield to defend myself, I can jump out and save myself, but I feel you can't do that so much as a main tank. Winston also draws a HELL of a lot of fire. He's a huge target, with a huge crit box.
Maybe it's because I'm trying to be Rein or Zarya as Winston (when I'm "main tanking"), but he's not. I just couldn't imagine holding the choke point on Hanamura with Winston, but doing it with Rein or Zarya makes a lot of sense.

Sombra is going to be so annoying on console, since you can't turn fast enough like on PC. If you can position yourself right behind the opponent, he will probably be dead before he can turn and put up a fight. The new dual-zone aim might help against this, but that's only for the people that prefer that aim-mode.
dual-zone aim shouldnt be a problem for 180'ing quick. i've done that with pharah to do concussion launch. people just need to play at a higher sensitivity and get use to it with muscle memory. of course not as fast as pc but still pretty decent.
its almost the same as a tacer going behind you anyway. low awareness player always get killed even though tracer makes those blink sound behind him as a warning ahead of time.

Winston works as being a huge distraction for your teammates to take advantage of. If you don't have teammates that take advantage of it, welp.

Positioning and choosing when to engage.
Depending on the scenario try to leap as high as possible which can help you give more time to choose where to land as well as shed a small amount of time on your next leap which can make a huge difference when you need to get out of an engagement. Taking advantage of high ground is really beneficial as well. after seeing Miro play ive started experimenting more and a few days ago i got this message
Which was nice
I love playing Winston as well. Especially when we have an Ana.

Yeah, dual-zone is better than exponential ramp for turning 180º, but I don't like using it. I have 50/50 sensitivity, and I don't want to go higher than that right now, but assuming I'm playing Zen, I don't think I can turn around fast enough to face a Sombra directly behind me :\
I think I read somewhere that Sombra doesn't make noise while cloaked D:
That happened to me with the classic skin, but not with the legendary. Try switching.
