Overwatch - Blizzard's latest game

Digital Solitude

I find from watching Killcams that most good Widows and Hanzos on PS4 seem to use mouse and keyboard.

We got beaten by a team with an attacking Torbjorn last night on king of the hill which was pretty embarrassing.

Heard someone mention that in chat the other night. He said most of the top 500 on PS4 are using mouse and keyboard.

Don't know how true it is but it's try-harding to an absurd degree. Just play on PC.

Can you not be banned for that?

PC has more Widowmakers, and a lot of them are good... the f**kers
Console Pharah is a lot better as there are less Widowmakers and McCrees countering her

Exactly, most Pharahs...except the amazing ones can be picked out of the sky on PC by an average soldier or mcree or whatever.

Technically on King of the Hil, it's just "Torb" and not "attack Torb"

Don't know but how would you even confirm it?

hard to know, I looked at a few of those devices as I have an xbox 360 steering wheel thats in too good a condition to waste. Ultimately I decided against it as I feel you do run the risk of being banned, either for cheating, or modifying the hardware.

still, you could argue that the elite controller gives you an unfair advantage on console too.

Not sure really.

I don't see why you would as it is an official accessory available to all.

Most toxic evening of Overwatch I can remember playing. Throwers in almost every game.

From what I've seen, Control maps are the worst for it and I seemed to be stuck on a rotation of Ilios, Oasis and Nepal all night except for one game on Eichenwalde. Lose one point and people start to lose their shít.

Actually left the last game when we went 2-0 down on Nepal. A duo of Widowmaker and Torbjorn running around doing nothing other than spamming "Thanks" and "Understood". 50SR hit was better than another 5 minutes of that shít.

Game has gone to the dogs.

It's the exact same on PC. 1 in 3 games has a perm leaver either on the team I am on or the enemy team. I had to stop playing sombra because people just tilted straight away. I might actually go back to duo/trio stacking

I wonder if it's because people feel season 5 is winding down. They're not going to climb in SR so they're just ****ing about instead. I was in QP last night and it was much more fun. Sure the team comp wasn't meta compliant but everyone stayed!

It's hardly over that quick?

My mistake, I thought it was July 24th it ended but it seems is August. So yeah, I have no idea why comp players are being extra ****ty these days.

I think it's just because you win or loose by a big margin now, people are thinking oh we're behind so we're not winning now why bother trying. I've very few really close matches this season compared to others.

Season 5 has been the least enjoyable. I've talked to a few people that agree. Between lower than expected placements and seemingly harder loss streaks, it's bred more quitters and throwers.

Doomfist is on console on the 27th July, so that will shake things up figuratively and literally

We really need another healer next to add a bit more variety. Looking forward to doomfist though.

We need a mercy type healer with a bit of fire power about them.

I've never had more tied games, I think I'm on 35 Wins, 32 Losses and 9 Ties or something like that.

Still seeing loads of quitters anyways, think I had 6 yesterday in 10-12 games.

Yea something similar to a Mercy would be good. Maybe make him/her have a heal option and a reduce incoming damage option to allies or something? Maybe with no self heal but a much higher starting health point?

Bit samey that though. I was wondering how you could do it differently. Maybe have a healer that needs to stick an orb on the enemy team to drain health in order to boost their healing?

Do you find your winning or losing by big margins?

What about a healer that punches their team mates to heal them. Call them Boonfist.

What the game needs is another hero that can give your team a speed boost. At the minute Lucio is the only guy that can do that.

Maybe a hero that punches people on the ass to make them run faster. They could call them Zoomfist.

Perhaps a hero with a bazooka that heals people.
