she's actually really good on attack if the team will work around it. can be underwhelming on d and koth at times.
Been using wrecking ball and Bridgette. Ball is nice because you can actually dodge attacks by rolling up and getting to cover to reload then rolling back to a position to start firing again.
Brig is themost fun hero in the game. Ham is close but i struggle playing him except against zen/mercy comps
I'm getting back into Mei. The panic that sets in when a character is backing up and there is an icewall behind them is fantastic to see. Or when a ghost form reaper is trying to leave but they get blocked. It's just fantastic.
Winston + Ana may be back in the meta. The instant +300 HP with nano + the mercy nerf means Winston will kill anything mercy pockets now. Brigette is the biggest killjoy in the game. Mindless swinging with a charge that has a large hit box that supersedes rein charges and basically unkillable during ult. Not to mention can combo a tracer from 100 to 0. She’s only gotten better now that Zarya grav is nerfed.
I gave up trying to be good with Wrecking Ball and just enjoy fucking around with him when I wind up with him in mystery heroes.
I like Busan. Nice to not have so much map wasted just getting back to the point where no one ever engages. Kind of eliminates the benefit of kills, changes tactics a little bit.
Kind of weird, but I like watching people play OW more than actually playing myself nowadays. OW is easily one of my favorite games of all time, but it is awful to play competitive without a group. Solo-queuing competitive ladder (especially as a DPS who cares about winning) sucks the fun out of the game, but I always try to do my placements. My best role by a huge margin is DPS, but it's almost throwing in solo queue to lock a dps slot because 3 or 4 others inevitably will as well. Also, my hands go numb as fuck when I play for more than an hour, and I have an office job, so I'm limited to weekend gaming only :( I don't recommend getting old
Same here. Im not good at shooters therefore dont play dps and comp is still a nightmare for me. Ive never been into esports at all really but i love watching ow. Bliz have done a fantastic job with OWL. Really excites about season 2. It truly makes the football offseason bearable.
Solo queue sucks for sure my favorite is triples but my friend group doesn't have anyone who can DPS. We have the heals and tanks but we're at the mercy of our pick up DPS to be able to close out kills. Sometimes we get good ones who communicate and sometimes not.
Too bad you don’t have a whole group of people that still play semi regularly that would allow you to play dps that are on a different platform.
probably for the first few weeks but i dont really expect it to dominate the meta forever, but teams have still basically only been playing that for months so
If not goats, I could see Ashe+Mercy comps as well. Ashe being able to insta kill with a headshot seems pretty broken
New reaper may make an appearance once teams test it out some more. His lifesteal is crazy strong. He might just take a tank spot in goats and make a slight alteration to the comp.
Fun convo i just had with some guys who we'll call winston and dps Im on zen. Other team has a tracer. He doesnt die for the first 2 minutes. So i switch to rein hoping winston will switch. He doesnt. Me: winston please switch to a healer your tank play is trash Winston: i'll switch but i have a thousand golds Me: and you havent killed the tracer once and our dva isnt peeling Dps: dont listen to him (me) he's in gold Me: i may be in gold but your sr cant be much higher than mine or we wouldnt be playing together right now Then i switch back to zen bc they switched off tracer. We push the payload all the way. Start defense, other healer picks ana so i go lucio to avoid two flex dps. My lucio is pretty rusty and my zen play isnt so swap back eventually and we run with two flex dps. As theyre pushing around the final turn... Dps: we need more healing than ana zen, zen can you switch to lucio or moira Me: no, bc discord is the only reason things are dying, moira ana is too much healing, and i would stay on speed boost so that is less healing Dps: ok well then switch to brig I then facepalm so hard i concuss myself Me: brig is a dps Winston: thats where youre wrong friend Me: pros only play brig as a dps in goats. If you guys want to swap to goats i will play brig. What we actually need is to stop running two flex supports and im not switching bc zen is my best healer by far So the ana swaps to moira, good enough, and we stop them while im the only one on fire. Love overwatch
Fired this up for the first time in a while this weekend. Good games are so good but there are so many auto-lock DPS who are useless, and a bunch of my matches were deserted by people as soon as it looked like it was even possible we might not win. Such a frustrating game.
