A Fix for 'Avoid Player.' - by Subtle_Beast
Like many of you, I've lamented the removal of the 'avoid player' feature. This is especially true for me now that competitive has started and I frequently run into players whose behavior and attitudes make the game less fun while not being against the CoC.
The previous issue with avoid player was that people were using it to curate their opponent roster. A high level sniper would be avoided as to help make sure that you wouldn't have to play against them.
Instead of removing this feature, a common sense solution would be to make prefer and avoid only apply to your own teammates. If you avoid someone for being too good, that simply means they won't be part of your team, but are just as likely to be on the opposite team. If you prefer them, that increases the chance you'll be matched in a game with them.
In this system, if an opponent is sufficiently high skilled as to make an impression, the best thing to do would be prefer them.
What do you think?
If Overwatch Heroes played Overwatch... - by randomnate
Bastion would play Mercy, because he's a pacifist at heart
Lucio would play D.Va, because he's a fan of hers
Junkrat would play Pharah, the only character who can actually blow stuff up even more than he can.
Pharah would play Reinhardt, because she had his poster.
Genji would play Zenyatta, out of respect for his master.
Winston would play Symmetra, because he's a refined and cerebral individual.
McCree would play Tracer, so he can always time travel to High Noon.
And Reaper would play Mei, because he's evil
As a Mercy player to my resurrectee's... - by mouseno4
Kinda technical question, but does your ability cooldowns continue to tick - and specifically Reinhardt's shield - whilst you are dead?
Say Reinhardt's shield broke right before being mowed down by Bastion. If I were to resurrect you immediately upon death, would your shield still have 0 health? And what about your other cooldowns?
(I think I can count on one hand how many times I have been resurrected by a Mercy in 30+ hours playing)
