Had a quick go of the Halloween event yesterday, and it was great fun. The effort put into it compared to the last 2-3 years (which felt like the same Junkenstein event with different characters) was a marked improvement. Makes me excited for the PVE portion.

yeah - completed Junkers Bride on hard - can't imagine what it's like on the next level up....
 
Yeah I thought it was good fun, as you say a marked improvement on previous years. Think I may struggle with the harder levels though.
 
As I think I mentioned earlier, I tend not to jump on the new characters, but one thing I like with OW is then trying them later on, it gives the game a fresh feel as you learn a new character. Oddly, with this talk of OP Zarya (my tank main) I've pulled away and started trying Sigma. I think this was my third game with him, after a defence, so just one half -

I don't think I ever did both that much damage and that much mitigation with any other tank...

I was a little annoyed as I was hoping to keep that up and amass a huge total, but I think the opposition raged and argued and sat about in spawn in the second half :cry:
 
To be fair, the reduction of the team from 6 to 5 players, especially 2 tanks to 1, has meant tweaking a number of tanks. I just hope Orisa gets some sort of nerf too else she'll become the next OP tank.
 
I'm back to being rooted in Gold Support (1/2) - just won 6 out 8 matches - stayed Gold 1 - not sure what more I can do.

Really wanted to push on more but feels like the old days where no matter how you play, you ended up getting stuck a bit.

Love Kiriko - healing can be nuts with her but I need to improve a bit with her damage output to really crank it up.
 
I don't understand the balance in this game when tanks have crap loads more hp and seem to do as much damage as dps .please explain to me as I'm a Overwatch 2 noob lol

Tanks are at the front line, soaking up more damage and causing lots of incidental damage (but in most cases not securing kills), for the most part they will also be healed as a priority meaning their up-time is more, and consequently they have opportunity to cause more damage simply by not being dead.

Balancing tanks following the reduction from 2>1 was always going to be tricky, but it's not done yet.
 
Back to OW1 times now.... :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Just literally nothing you can do as healer/support if DPS troll/kill nothing/do nothing....

Stuck in the horrible ELO hole that is Gold1/2 - feel like I can't play any better at times but just get constant lose after lose with horrible dps players/picks.

Perfect example - Dorado, Tank was good - blocked like 20k, both myself and other healer 15k healing EACH, dps players, 5k damage and 6k damage.....

Other team dps players - 14k damage and 12k damage....

I asked DPS what level they are - other team both gold 2 dps, my team silver 5 dps.... How does that work ??

Getting bored now as I won't move from Gold 1/2 on support at all now - just stuck.
