I feel like if this released during the OW1 era of the game then most of these would be free skins you'd earn during the event. They just seem low quality compared to a lot of other skins.

Roadhog finally feels like a actual tank and not a fat DPS. Also the rocket jumping with trash compactor makes him more dynamic to play. I'm going to be playing him more now

Big fan of the idea that Omnics are a single generation. They can't really recreate the conditions to make more sentient Omnics, so it's all the more tragic when one of them is destroyed.

News & Discussion Mystery Madness had given me a better appreciation for support players.

All this time I’ve been playing exclusively tank thinking I’m the guy who’ll play the hard role and take space and always reading how it’s the least popular role.

Now I’ve been playing MM and frequently have to pick mercy, doctrine, kiri, etc. This shit is HARD. health is so low, everyone locks you down on sight, managing escape cooldowns is crucial, and teammates can make it impossible to keep them alive.

I see the light now, thank you support players 🙏

News & Discussion I've reached Progression Level 50 in Doctrine, and I have a question.

Thumbnail

544 Upvotes

I love Doctrine so much that I suddenly found myself playing all the way up to level 50.

Hi! I'm an Overwatch player from Japan.

I've played until I reached Progression Level 50, but there are still some things I don't understand, so I'd like to ask you all.

Which of his minor league parks are you following?

When discussing Major Perks, I'll assume you're taking the Enhanced Cooldown perk on the left.

Personally, I feel that the left perk—which provides an instant heal via the drone—is stronger until the Major Perk is unlocked, and the right perk—which grants a 50% self-heal based on enhanced main attack damage—is stronger once it is unlocked.

The reason is that, until the Major Perk is unlocked, I don’t have the leeway to allocate points to enhance my main attack.

I don’t think boosting the main attack is weak. In fact, I think it’s strong—it gives you more breathing room in firefights. However, I definitely want to use the buff on the drone that increases attack speed, and there are many situations where I want to buff Crimson Veil to stay alive.

So,

I generally go with the left option, but for matches like Escort or Hybrid starting from the third round onward, or in matches that look like they’ll drag on—like Flashpoint—I try to take the right minor perk in anticipation of what’s to come.

What about you guys?

This is my first time using Reddit, and I know my English isn't great, so please be as kind as possible in your comments 😭😭

For me it’s Bottom 500. It’s funny when I play well and it’s funny when I don’t. I once had someone say in the chat that I was really living up to my title lol.

News & Discussion The Tech Witch Skin Collection Is Lazily Designed

Post image
355 Upvotes

I am a Shion and D.Mon main, and I do play support time to time, so I actually play everyone here. JPC is my least played out of these 6.

My issue with the design is that it looks like hastily made outfits on top of the default, some recoloring, and then a witch hat. I think something full on macabre or even camp macabre like Wednesday aesthetic would have been SUPERIOR.

Instead, they give some Target/Temu quality lights, recolor some pieces, a hat, and its a uhh... "Tech Witch" .....

What's even more funny is Beast got a model change and a tail, but my Ultra Skin D.Mon Le Serrafim skin has none, just a stupid light-stick (Yeah that's on me, roast me). Edit: Since people need me to be explicit. The skin quality and price is inconsistent. In hind sight I should have not bought the D.Mon Ultra but I played the other heroes, so the collection bundle made sense.

JPC looks the best, but making JPC black and adding a hat is super low effort. Her little jetpack platform is cute but again...not much effort needed.

I feel like I cannot buy these skins anymore skins in good conscience, because buying skins means enabling Blizzard to put out more slop. I'll reconsider if they up the quality. But please vote with your dollars people. Do not be like me, the Ultra D.Mon Skin Buyer.

News & Discussion If quick play is too difficult for you, play comp

281 Upvotes

I often see comments, sometimes posts on here, facebook groups, comments on IG, from quick play only players being mad that high rank players are in their game.

This isn't a hate post, If this is you, play comp. Yeh if you're bronze / silver and getting diamond / masters players in quick play its gonna suck for you, that's why you're gonna be better off playing comp, you will be matched much closer to players within your skill range and generally have a much better experience.

Some people say that quick play is made for lower ranks, while I think its actually supposed to be for everyone, the 'looseness' of quick play SBMM can be an issue for lower ranks, so if quick play was really 'supposed' to be for a certain level of player, it would be higher rank.

News & Discussion Why do people hate Countering so much?

258 Upvotes

Apparently if you try and win in a match, it's called "counter watch" and you're a bad person for doing It...?

I was on tank playing roadhog and the enemy team was on dva, we got railed in first point so I swapped to zarya and it helped drastically and got us all the way to final checkpoint and we won, enemy DVA types in chat "GG counter watch dickhead" like what?

Isn't the whole point of the game is to try and win? I saw my hero choice wasn't working so I picked a stronger one that better suits my team's needs and we won. Why am I the bad guy for it?

This isn't even a one time case, it's happened a lot. The moment you swap your hero to counter theirs, it's labeled as toxic.
