Blizzard's Overwatch

Yeah but you also thought Roadhog was one of the worst heroes in the game even before his nerfs, you're a ****ing nerd.

She relies heavily on environment and teamwork,

Everyone does to differing extents, tanks especially do (minus Roadhog and to an extent D.Va).

Reinhardt is also hugely team-reliant, but he's still bar none one of the best heroes in the game and has been since release. Balance should be tailored around high level play, where your team isn't a couple of cats having a fight on top of a keyboard.

if you're able to place yourself in a corridor type situation or have your mates protect your sides, she's a very effective position holder. If I'm defending in Hanamura, I'll pick her, one of her better maps.

Yeah, she's gonna be bonkers and gay on defense, I agree. 👆

People who try and be lone players with her are easily taken down with S76, Zen, Tracer and the Indian (Dot, not Feather) chick.

Orisa would shit down Tracer's throat in a 1v1 IMO. Her DPS is 144, Tracer's is 240. Orisa's DPS is enough to bring Tracer down to 6 health, Tracer's probably won't even half health her considering half of Orisa's health is armour. Furthermore, the spread of Tracer's guns is much higher than that of Orisa's cannon and her bullets have a significant falloff in terms of damage the further away the enemy is, whereas Orisa's have no falloff at all. Furthermore, Orisa can reduce her damage taken by 50% with the press of a button for four seconds, making Tracer's damage even more paltry. Halt also allows Orisa to impair Tracer's mobility, which is Tracer's biggest advantage in most 1v1s.

There's potential for Tracer to outplay, there usually is, but most of the time I think Orisa should win. The others should be able to take her though, yeah.

Not that it matters. Orisa is strongest when with her team. Just because she can't do anything doesn't mean she can't be overpowered. Ana can't wade into the thick of combat and duel Reaper in close combat, but she's still consistently been broken.

Roadhog is a favorite of retarded children because the only skill needed to play him somewhat effectively is being able to mash buttons while drooling on your shirt.

I have no problem with Reinhardt, his shield, high damage and high HP are offset but his main attack being short range and his slowness. I have little problem taking him out if his teammates are lone rangers (yes,I know that can't really be plural).

Nah, there's ways to get around her even with a solid team at her back. eg A proper Reinhardt can bust through with teamwork. Tracer's ultimate (bomb) is very effective. A well positioned Bastion can take her shield down very quickly.

Orisa has the nunbers on her side, but I've seen Tracer take her down due to Orisa's slowness.

No comment on Ana, I've never played and she is usually nigh useless when I team with her.

This needs to be in the game.

New Overwatch comic out: https://reader.madefire.com/work/w-0f7ef4a45be541f394d22835c9d13e9f/read/

Hopefully I don't get tired of all that blue on my characters before the event is over. lol That Widow and Genji steals the show.

This is hitting close to home T-T

The tiebreaker system in competitive is terrible. Teams on defense are at an unfair disadvantage if the attackers need only 1% on the objective if the last ones could barely capture it. That's f'd up.

******* leaving Uprising games a lot doesn't make it as convenient for weekly arcade wins/loot as I thought either. Guess that can't be helped though, but when it's currently one of the modes that gives the most exp, can get frustrating even as satisfying as it can be to still win (depending on the difficulty chosen) after a **** leaves.

Even still, I think co-op PvE is more the way to go for some Overwatch events, between this and Junkenstein.

I like it.

It's a good thing then a patch has been announced to change tie-breaking so even when Team A keeps Team B from touching the point the whole round, Team A still needs to capture 33% of it in the next one to replace that annoying 1%. If they fail, then it's Team B's turn. Should both teams fail to capture 33%, it's a tie.

Heroes of the Storm is at it again with Overwatch offering an exclusive Officer DVA skin you can only unlock by completing a Nexus challenge that also gives you Oni Genji. If I could play Heroes, I would but I don't have the PC to play the thing. Blizzard should port it to console already if they won't put those skins and future ones in loot boxes.

Good thing I can play Heroes then. 👆

Blizzard states they will add the heroes skins to regular loot boxes in the future

Got the DVA officer skin, but holy shit its torture playing HOTS. What a stupid game.

What about it bothers you my son?

For one It moves like molases. Played Diablo 3 for years. This looks like it should play like diablo because of the top down view and there being different classes and each character having various abilities etc. But it doesnt . Its clunky and boring.
Maybe its just me because i never played or got into DOTA or League of Legends.

Most of the game I dont know whats im doing just running around like a f@g. Ive tried to understand the game but I just dont have the time or interest ATM. I just want to get back to Overwatch or Breath of the Wild TBH.

I know you have to capture towers or some sh!t, and fight creatures to recruit them to attack the base. But thats the extent of my understanding.

Guess its crap to me because I dont have time to invest in understanding it. And im only there for the ***TOTALLY DANK OV skins*** Fam.

Yeah the buffering in Heroes is unusually slow. In League the buffering is quick and precise. Dota 2's is also good though the game in general feels a lot slower due to turn rates.

You don't have a friend that plays it? It makes the experience easier, for any MOBA. The genre is very unfriendly to new players.

I played it with a friend I added just to complete the event. I saw people requesting teammates on chat for the event and I requested an invite. For the Genji skin I did the same but with an OW friend.

And , yes I was part of the cancer of players that the HOTS community are pissed about not trying or throwing games. But Blizzard creates these problems with their events to force players into the game.

Maybe one day ill take more serious and try it out again. Or till they do more skin events for Overwatch.

On another note the Nerf to Soldier76 is stupid. Even though it might not seem like a lot it will make PharMercy combo even stronger.

What they needed to do is tweak McCree, Reaper Sombra, and a few other characters to be more viable. Instead they did a lazy nerf to 76 to shut up all the Soldier whiners.

Now Phar-Mercy combos will be even more of a pain in the ass and Tanks as well. You'll have endless barriers everywhere that will be harder to destroy.

1 more bullet to kill might not seem like alot but it will take more than 1 bullet to take out pharah when in the time it takes to land that last bullet she knocks you out of position with her rockets and Mercy heals her up in that split second. So it will take more than 1 more bullet to take out pharah.

This small nerf is bigger than what it seems. It indirectly buffs tanks and Phara.
