Overwatch - Blizzard's latest game

TitianGerm

Just playing some solo play and maining Lucio as usual.

On defense on Kings Row and I finished with gold kills, healing and objective time.

Some randomer takes Lucio on attack so I go Tracer (never played her in Comp) and wrecked the enemy team. Picked up gold damage and objective kills aswell :pac:

My guess is that you can reduce the size or sensitivity of your "crosshair" for who you want to nano boost. So if you reduced it the whole way, you could only nano boost someone who is directly on the crosshair. If you reduced it some of the way, it would have a larger spread of who you could nano boost. You be less likely to boost that pesky lucio who jumped some of the way across your vision.

I've not done it but I know on one of the sniper characters you can change the look sensitivity when ADS vs hip fire - and in the controls of the game I think you can change sensivity (speed the crosshairs move) per character. I would assume this just allows you to change the speed of aim movement per fire mode, as each mode is different in its circumstantial use.

Really like the look of those Bastion buffs, looks a lot more viable and could be a good alternative to Solider.

I don't know how even the best Lucio could get gold damage on a team of people with guns that don't only shoot bad music.

No that makes no sense. All of the abilities listed under the changes are the type that have some variety of target-snapping. None of them are alternative fire modes, like Widow's scope; they all use your normal crosshairs. Obviously they are talking about the radius on the auto snapping on targets.

Gold damage and gold kills are very different. Kills are not people you killed; kills are people you did at least 1hp worth of damage to before they died. You can easily rack up kills by spamming into groups even if you didn't contribute very much.

I've got gold as Lucio a few times by just harassing tanks and booping full health opponents off maps

The last night we were grouped up this was the funniest thing ever

That'a nice Mercy buff. Her ultimate line will no longer be "Heroes Never D...Argh!"

Pretty frustrating from my end! I booped 5-6 off the map in a single life at one stage and still didn't manage to get the Floor is Lava medal.

I tried to... most times.

Sometimes you do be in too awkward a position to do so after getting a kill. And sometimes in the heat of things I just completely forget to do so.

Pharah doesn't need a buff. I think you need to get better with your Ult positioning :pac:

Grayditch

I meant to write Gold Kills in response to Emmet's post. Gold kills for Lucio just seems crazy. Maybe if he was tied for first and the game was over quick. Is Overwatch so it would definitely happen, I'd say it's pretty rare though.

As someone said there, he could rack up some serious boops I guess.

How good is Sombra at dealing with Tracer

Gold elims isn't all that far fetched considering you just need to toe poke an enemy and have an ally finish them off

Zillah

Pretty much everyone loses to Tracer 1v1. Roadhog can kill her with a lucky hook, Soldier could win if the Tracer doesn't bolt once the healing pod is down.

Sombra v Tracer is a funny one, because if she hacks Tracer then Tracer is in a lot of trouble, but the hack is interrupted the instant Sombra takes damage, so unless you get the drop on her its not likely to happen.

In the general chaos of a normal game, though, duel aside, Sombra can often get the hack off when Tracer isn't focused on either shooting her or running away, in which case Tracer usually dies. She's a tiny hit box, though, so even hacked Tracer is still god damn hard to hit properly with Sombra's SMG.


As for Pharah: I think Pharah is mostly fine where she is now. On one hand you can have games where you feel like playing Pharah is pointless because the enemy is focussed on dealing with you, but then again you can have games where you're an unstoppable skygod dishing out death with impunity.

Above gold you have to learn to save your barrage to combo with Zarya or Rein, or at a key moment when they're clustered and vulnerable. I remember starting out it was relatively easy to get 3+ kills just by dumping the ult on top of the enemy, but at higher levels everyone is waaaay too ready to react to shut her down. You just have to accept that barrage is a suicide attack under most circumstances, so you better make sure it'll do enough damage.

Grayditch

Tracers are already learning how to deal with Sombra well enough, but getting the drop on her is so much fun. Watching her run for healthpacks you've hacked and meeting her there because that's where your cube is, feels good.

Nothing wrong with Pharaoh at all tbh.

She's neither a Meta-Insta pick, nor garbage, not is she never picked.
You can make a compelling argument to use Pharah in Attack or Defense on any map, on any game mode without her needing to be a "Hard Counter" for anything.

Obviously after applying all that logic and such, you still need to actually be able to play well and pick/lead your shots with her

McCree would be the best I reckon, 1 vs 1 duel specialist after all

Shanotheslayer

Pharah is one of the only things I can play. I tend to do quite a good job with her.

I like flanking in behind and forcing them back

My favourite is booping their Reinhardt away from their own front line.

What sort of competitive ratings have people got?

I fluctuate between 2.5K and 2.6K

I play on PC and looking to group with more people.

Grayditch

I'm hovering around 2.5k, solo queuing on PS4.

K.O.Kiki

1700ish in Season 3, mostly cos I'm shíte I don't dedicate a lot of time to Ranked.

Highest was 2888 or something like that. Had a spectacular run of bad luck and sank to 2300ish. Now back up to 2600ish.

Generic Dreadhead

Overall Between 1,950 and 2,600

But primarily between 2,200 and 2,300

This is great...
