Overwatch

I've been playing this on a controller since the open beta and release (Currently level 32)

Just got myself a Mechanical keyboard (Cherry MX Brown switches) and a new gaming mouse (Logitech G900) so am going to be re-training myself over the next few days, so bear with me if I'm about :)

Used to play a lot of FPS on PC 'back in the day' (Quake 2 CTF, Action Quake, Unreal Tournament, Counter Strike etc) with keyboard and mouse and was fairly decent.

Are the default bindings decent enough? Any tips?

Added on top. Thanks for the list. I'll add you lot later.

Beggers#2856 Shall add a few later. Get's boring against randomers with no intention of achieving the objective most of the time.
 
Has anyone had or heard of a jittering bug?

My game will basically ignore my inputs at random times for a split second, so any channeled/charged ability will end or fire when I don't want them too.

I also get it when moving, almost like a stutter.

No issues with any of the Borderland series or Shadow Warrior, so it isn't my laptop keyboard not being able to cope with too many concurrent key presses.

Halp!
 
Yeah I get it sometimes as well. Get random packet loss and jitters to nothing other than overwatch games. It's annoying but a known issue if you look at the forums. They're asking people to do the usual trace route stuff but the issue is their end as one day it was fine and now it's not. Same for others as well from all over Europe.
 
I don't get that but very occasionally see weird orange symbols appear around the top left quarter of the screen, usually at the character select portion before a match starts.

They only ever appear for split seconds and have no explanation. I assume it's a tiny connection issue or something?
 
Tried the ranked beta last night, in 2 of my first 3 of 10 classification matches people abandoned and it still recorded loss stats for my mmr rating. Good system.
 
Did I read correctly serial abandon-ers get banned potentially for the remainder of the season? If so then it sounds okay, though imagine it's annoying having your ranking knocked for silly reasons...

I was on last night but didn't realise ranked was out there - do you have to do anything special to access it or is it just there on the main menu and I missed it?

With regards to those symbols - the lightening one you see means latency from your PC to the server, and the squares are for packetloss. The latter normally appears whilst a map is loading so I wouldn't be too concerned.

Yeah, I noticed these, like a circling arrow around a lighting bolt kind of thing...

**EDIT** Sorry, didn't notice the next page... thanks for answer above.

Cheers, I have noticed the squares in the past, I'll keep an eye out for latency.

Annoying though, I have a rock solid 80MB fibre connection, but cannot run Reinhardt or Hanzo due to this issue.

Blimey,i m already noticeably better and that's after 90 mins. Headshots are actually doable now :)
 
Playing in an ESL show match tomorrow with some other YouTubers, it should be pretty fun!
