Overwatch

[~British Soul~]

I've seen people on Twitter asking: Will Tracer have to leave Overwatch because of Brexit?

Someone even said "Tracer is REAL mad all those foreigners keep invading Kings Road"

what do you mean, terrible? you just aren't doing it right.

D.Va is pretty generally accepted as the weakest character in the game due to her nearly nonexistent DPS, headshot hitbox the size of America's debt, and lack of mobility while attacking. Pretty much everything she does is done better by Winston.

"good ult", what do you mean "good ult", there cant be good ones if there aren't any bad ones.

Except bad ones do exist? As a matter of fact D.Va's is quite weak compared to similar ultimates. Junkrat's is more difficult to avoid and has higher potential for ambush, Reaper is infinitely more adequate at setting his up for a multikill, and Hanzo's is more effective for clearing a point since it can't be blocked by Reinhardt, Zarya, or Winston.

 

I mean, there is nothing wrong with enjoying D.Va. She is tons of fun, and with proper buffs can definitely make a place for herself in higher level play, but the adage of "x is only weak because you aren't skilled enough" very rarely is actually true.

....I was being sarcastic.....

woops. Your sarcastic looks like a lot of members' serious.

[Cosmo.]

well, i obviously change it up. but these are the ones i find most fun playing/i most often play.

 

 

And now that i know that D.Va is weak i see my trend of liking the weakest option in games is continuing strong

...Hanzo's Ult isn't bad, because 9 times out of 10 it's used to win the game. And it's more of a prominent thing depending on the map.

psssst.  you might wanna re-read the post you quoted.  That's literally what he said

I read it as him implying said Ultimates were bad. That's usually how those sorts of things are worded anyway.

Spectating Widow, Tracer, and D.Va is quite the way to wait for the next match, let me just say.

Spectating Widow

Speaking of Widow, I learned something today...

 

A full health Soldier 76 with both Torb armor and a Symmeta shield can still be 1-shot by a 95% charge'd Widow shot.

[Progenitor]

Wait how?

 

That would give 76 and effective 300 health, and widowmaker's gun can do a total of 300 damage per max charge headshot, but Armor reduces that damage by a flat 5, so she would actually do 295 at MAX charge, leaving the Soldier with 5 HP.

 

Am I missing something?

 

 

EDIT:  Oh sheet I just found out: You don't get the Armor reduction if the shields take the damage source.  Since Widow is dealing exactly 300 health to symmetra's shield and not the armor, the reduction bonus never kicks in.  That's actually very useful.

[Cosmo.]

I would love to play Widowmaker or Hanzo but i'm poopy at aiming.

 

 

Also, the crates hate me, i mainly get stuff for the heroes i don't like playing.

Yea, I had went and looked that up after posting it.

It's... Kinda' bullshit that you can die while@300 HP like that.

Dude, the hitboxes for headshots is idiotic; you can shoot someone in the shoulder and it counts as a headshot.

Srsly.

Indeed, though we probs should've seen this coming though.

Fun fact: arrows actually have a much larger hitbox than, not only most other projectiles, but the arrows themselves. Also those hitboxes prioritize headshots over non-headshots. Meaning if you so much as graze the head hurtbox with that arrow hitbox, it will register a headshot, rather than use the majority rule for overlapping hurtboxes.

[(GigaDrillBreaker)]

The arrows use the exact same projectile hitboxes as every other projectile in the game that can headshot.

Little tidbit I picked up from playing 76. Your crosshairs only get bigger if you hold down fire for more than 4 rounds. However tapping fire or firing in 3 to 4 round bursts then releasing and firing again makes it so your crosshairs keep their default size. You keep the same dps as if you held down fire but your accuracy is better. Naturally, don't do it during ult.

Yes, but the size relative to the shape of the arrow is much larger. As in the hitbox extends beyond the arrows model.

Can someone explain how the game works for me?

Imagine tf2, except that there's a "favor the shooter" mechanic and ultimate attacks that can be used after a certain amount of damage has been dealt/healed/whatever.

[Thar]

What Kitty said. It's basically TF2 but much more polished and has more of a variety without the need for open-source. There are about 20 characters, 5 for each class (Offense, Defense, Tank, Support) each with their own play-style suited to the player and they're all memorable and lovable. That, plus each character has their own set of abilities including ultimate abilities that charge up gradually over time or quickly with a good kill streak. Each character plays an essential role in their team in their own way and adds their own charm to the battle as well as the game itself.

 

If you're hesitant to buy it, I say just do it. I was skeptical at first but I decided to do it anyway and now I can't get enough.

It's fantastic is what it is.  I haven't had so much fun with a game in a long time.
