Overwatch, It Isn't New Anymore

[SamanosukeShiva]

yeah only leader have the option to leave as a group

[Tomiko]

yeah, i see that on mercy a lot

random attacker splits off/rushes in past tank/tries to flank 4 unoccupied opponents, gets cut down to 10%

retreat further away from the group/me

"I NEED HEALING"

run back in to attack some more

??????????????????

FUCK

Cue the "I'm not a miracle worker." voice clip.

I just let those players die and stick near the main group/tank/objective/person actually watching my back.

I'm getting real tired of these CoD Sniper idiots I get paired up with. Enemy is taking the objective, they better stay in Sniping position not actually killing anyone. Meanwhile I have to Leeroy Jenkins my way to the objective (as Mercy) to delay them long enough for non-idiot teammates to get back in time to try to stop them.

In happier news, I was able to try out some new characters today. Going vs AI is the best place to do that since it's more forgiving. I learned that I suck with Widowmaker, Hanzo, Lucio & Symmetra. At least I'm not good enough at those characters to want to use them in a competitive game. Had more fun with Mei than I did the first time I used her and didn't know what I was doing.

You can't be bad with Lucio, just try it again in a pug.

[Tokitoki]

visiting her parents LOL

i am so frickin bad at this game wow

Shit. Today is another day of cleaning since we're having a party tomorrow. I'm definitely going to get on at some point though.

She would've been home to find out he lied though.

This. She was leaving either way. If she got home and I was already home it would have been bad.

I think I just need to get used to his playstyle and the wall riding.

[Jaxzer]

Logging on now. Let's group up if you're on PS4. PSN ID is Zerjax.

Got this awesome skin from a random loot box then got enough currency on the next crate to buy the Mercy Devil skin:



Liking Mercy a lot now; pretty flexible and can actually toss out some deeps with that blaster. Teams drive me crazy though on Mercy; three snipers on a team in random locations complaining about no heals.

Any advice for that? I'm still sucky on the wall riding.

[Nama]

Decent practice spot is 1st attacker spawn room on Numbani. Wall ride the halls from one door to another as long as you can without hitting the ground. Other tip is to switch to speed boost for wall riding.

Fun thing on Mercy is using damage boost when you hear Justice Rains from Above or Soldier's Aimhax line. So satisfying.

So satisfying to play Roadhog on Well and just keep hooking people into the well.

I saw this video on Reddit that I'm hoping helps make wall jumping easier:



Aside from that, just playing him I suppose.

Sooo good when you get to do that. I'll drop healing for that unless my current target is near death and can't survive without it for a couple seconds. The boost to their super helps too much not to.

[Malithar]

We make that shit happen Wulf lol.

[Corrderio]

So has anyone noticed stacking becoming an increasing issue or am I just unlucky?

[Fiye]

I've started seeing it way more often than I did in any beta.

[Prothescar]

Still not sure why there isnt a restriction on the # of repeat heroes that you can have on a team. I can only assume that it will be a feature for ladder mode

It's available in custom game, but since you need to invite people to them from my experience, pretty ineffective for PUBs

[Zeb]

Yeah, just got out of a 5 Soldier 1 Flashbang McShooty match

[Corrderio]

I had 4 Zarya, Lucio, and a Tracer.

Call it strategy if you want, I call it a dick move.
