Overwatch

Picked this game up recently and have since put in more hours than i would care to admit!

Would like to be able to pick map, or at least game type. Not a fan of the KOTH and only half the heroes are really good picks for it.

On the heroes themselves most of them seem well balanced but some could use tweaking i think. My take on it;

-Reinhardt ok

-Junkrat ok but tyre could use bit more HP,

-Genji ok

-Winston could use less cd between barriers, or stronger barrier.

-Tracer needs a maybe a second longer cd between blink charges, basically invulnerable killing machine in right hands now

-Pharah ok

-Lucio ok

-McCree ok

-Widowmaker ok but very rarely hear when her ultimate is up

-Roadhog chain is 1 hit kill on half the heroes. Either reach needs to be shortened or cd a bit longer

-Symmetra seems redundant on koth and even assault after 1st point is taken a lot of people switch off her. Her 'E' shield is also fairly lackluster

-Mei fun to play but just annoying to play against. Instead of freezing opponents solid perhaps just semi-freeze/half their movement speed, maybe give it sligtly bigger area of effect

-Torbjorn ok, his turret on ultimate could maybe use a bit less hp

-Bastion ok

-Soldier 76 ok

-Zenyatta hugely op but being fixed from what i read

-Hanzo is not ok but i don't know how to fix him, 1 game everything hits, the next game you whiff every shot. Part of the problem is there is no aim penalty for moving in this game and your opponents are all doing a spastic jig 90% of the time

-D.Va ok

-Zarya ok, maybe 8 seconds on her personal barrier to match the projected, but tbh she's already pretty good.

-Mercy will be closer to ok i think when Zenyatta is fixed, but think she needs an ability to help her in close quarters

-Ana ok

-Reaper ok
 
I figure a hero is doing OK as long as I occasionally have the urge to type "**** your mei/mcree/pharah/etc" to the other team when I meet one.

By that metric, the only one that's never really bothered me is Mercy, so she probably needs a bit of a tweak. :D
 
Apparently the PTR has added a 'salt detector".

If you type "GG EZ" into chat, it changes it to things like "I have a lack of confidence in my own abilities, but appreciate you all playing with me", "Mum, can't I just play one more game? Oh no, mistell" and so on.
 
Just got accused of using an aimbot :D Went on the PTR to see what the changes were like and decided to play the comp placement games; first game was on Route 66 and after I had a good game as Pharah, knocking a fair few people off the cliff, some team-wiping ults and kept air-shotting their Pharah out of the air... Their Pharah starts saying I'm using an aimbot (what a compliment I guess)

Queue for the next game and whaddya-know - This time I'm on his/her team. Kings Row game but goes really badly, a total stomping from the other team who were excellent including a particularly good Mcree... My new friend pipes up in chat again to spew a bunch more salt "not so good without your aimbot, huh? useless"... :rolleyes:
 
Haha that's my feelings. People that say "GG ez" get my goat.

If you just slaughtered the other team bask in your own glory don't rub it in. Jeez. :p

That really bugs me too, it used to be enough to win but now people have to be ***** about that as well. If they lose they **** off their team and opponents, if they win they still want to insult people.

Worst thing about online games are gamers, what a bunch on knobs" :p

Brilliant - I know it's stupid but idiots typing stuff like that after a decent game really took the shine off it for me.
 
79 games played, 58 golds. Finished at 40 after starting at 54...............................

Just awful - don't play now unless I have some friends/team to play with. Solo que is just awful. ZERO communication, ZERO thoughts into counters/picks etc.

Haven't played in 2 weeks nearly as it was just awful in solo que.
 
Peak rank 70
Golds 188
Games played 177

Deciding between a Rein or Pharrah golden weapon.

Rein as I could become a golden tool shield with the Lionheart armour + golden hammer.

Pharrah as she was my main prior to the McCree buff. Dealing with a McCree and Soldier combo at higher ranks just got a bit frustrating.

I will happily group up with you. I peaked at 53 and finished at 45 :(

Every time I go on people from here are either already in comp, so you can't join them or they are at a completely different skill level (65+) that you would feel embarrassed even suggesting joining up for a comp game.

placed at 40, ended at 40. Did drop as low as 35. When you get down that low in rank you are never coming back up from it. Just like HoTS was. Too many trolls and idiots down there.
