Favoritism of ultimates is unacceptable

Posted: 19 Jun 2017 07:56 AM PDT

Genji presses his Ult, you kill him, he still has his fucking Ult. Roadhog even hovers over the Ult button and it's gone, McCree says "It's" and that signals his Ult, IT'S gone, I was mid animation for Ana's Ult once and when I spawned after being killed it was gone. wtf is with that?

Edit: This wasn't supposed to get 155 updoots I'mscared and also glad you're all as unreasonably annoyed as I am at Ult fuckery

Edit 2: YOU CAN STOP NOW AAAA, also maybe the word "favouritism" was a little harsh so sorry about that it's just a wee bit silly ya know like

When Life Gives you Voice Chat Lemons...

Posted: 19 Jun 2017 12:28 PM PDT

Yesterday I joined a comp game and some kid, probably pre-teen, is in voice chat. There was a third guy in chat at first, but he made some comment about "squeakers" and left. So it's just me and the kid. Then I hear some baby, probably one or two years old, in the background.

I wanted him to know I could hear the toddler, but I didn't want to be an ass about it, so I laughed and said "Do I hear a cute widdle baby?" He apologized for his little brother and tried to keep him off. This is Xbox, by the way, so there's no push to talk. He probably had a cheap mic that isn't very good at filtering out background noise.

At one point I'm calling out that the enemy Mercy is low, and the baby says "Oh no!" and I realized that the kid must have team chat playing through the TV speakers, because the baby can hear me. "It's OK," I said, "It's the enemy Mercy. Ours is fine."

The kid laughed. After that, any time his baby brother would say something (even if I couldn't really understand it), I'd talk back to him like he knew what was going on. It was kind of fun.

"IT'S HIGH NOON!" Me: "Where's the McCree?" Baby: *something I couldn't understand* Me: "Thanks! I see him now!"

His brother was also doing a good job at callouts, which definitely helped. Honestly, the baby wasn't really very loud or too distracting. I think a couple people where in chat, but didn't have mics so hopefully we gave them some good info that helped us win.

What really made it memorable was as the "Victory" screen was playing, I hear the baby again.

Baby: "Ball!" Me: "You have a ball?" Baby: "Yeah!" Me: "Well, I hope you have fun with it." Baby: "Ball!" The Baby's Brother: "He's holding up his ball to the TV. He wants you to play with him."

Awwwwwwww. It ended up being one of the most memorable games of Overwatch I've played in a while. That guy who left doesn't know what he missed. :)

In Overwatch's universe, Earth seems to not go very well.

Posted: 19 Jun 2017 08:28 AM PDT

On the Horizon Lunar Colony map, we have a very good view of Earth, but the futuristic Earth seems to be in a pretty bad state : http://i.imgur.com/LDLu5ow.jpg.

 

First of all, half of Brazil seems to be a desertic land, while it should be mostly covered with a tropical forest. This could be due to an intense deforestation because the Amazonian forest is one of the main reason of the wet climate of South America, so when you remove the forest, the Sun just burns the place and the climate becomes very dry.

 

Then, when we look at North America, we see that Florida has suffered the same fate (but probably not for the same reasons). The place seems dried out, there are no green tropical lands anymore.

 

But that's not all. Due to the Sea level rise, a big part of North America has been covered by Ocean, including the whole states of Michigan, Pennsylvania, New-York, Maryland, New Jersey among others, because the Ocean has reached the Great Lakes, transforming them into a gulf. Cuba seems to have totally disappeared too.

EDIT : Maybe the oceanic part of North America is actually the Hudson Bay of Canada, but it looked more like a fusion of the Great Lakes to me due to the shape of the bay. If it's actually the Hudson Bay, then it would mean that a big part of Canada is drowned under water and that there's much less ice than it should (Greenland should be mostly covered by ice, even during Summer), or even no ice at all, which is also very sad.

EDIT 2 : /r/WazhaDoh made a very helpful quick geographic analysis to understand what is represented in the Overwatch space view of Earth : http://i.imgur.com/XudubYa.jpg. Thank you for your help !

 

However, there's a pretty big inaccuracy because when we look at Earth, Gibraltar is also clearly under water ! (litteraly unplayable). But when we look in the telescope, we see Gibraltar outside of water (it's basically a view of today's Spain), so it makes no sense.

 

Despite this geographical issue, Blizzard has done a great job to represent Earth of the Future with some changes due to Climate Change (which could have been accelerated by the Omnic Crisis). I appreciate those details that makes the game more connected to our real world, even if this representation of Earth is not very optimistic.

Graphical Change to D.VA's Defense Matrix

Posted: 19 Jun 2017 01:09 PM PDT

D.VA in her current state is a very strong hero, and a lot of that strength comes from the versatility of her defense matrix. One of the biggest advantages of her matrix over other shields (such as Reinhardt's barrier or Winston's bubble) is that there is no visual indicator regarding the matrix's health/uptime. Anyone can quickly glance at most shields in the game and know where they stand in terms of health, but only the D.VA player knows how much uptime is left on their defense matrix.

A possible solution to this is to have the color of the matrix change in relation to its remaining uptime, as such;

100%-50% resource meter remaining: Current green/blue color

49%-25% resource meter remaining: Yellow/orange color

24%-1% resource meter remaining: Dark orange/red color

With this change, any player on either team will be able to quickly tell the uptime of D.VA's matrix, bringing it in line with all other shields in the game.

Blizzard, please can you opt out of the reputation system on Xbox One. We are being punished for playing off meta heroes.

Posted: 19 Jun 2017 04:55 AM PDT

I realise this sub-reddit is predominately PC players but if you could take a moment to read the post I would be grateful.

My friends and I are big fans of Overwatch. We love competitive play and we love trying to gain as much SR as possible. What we also enjoy is diversity in gameplay and breaking away from the meta. Most of the time we abide by the 2-2-2 composition but sometimes our choice of heroes can result in a lot of negative feedback from teammates. I understand other players can be apprehensive towards 'controversial picks' but usually they've made their mind up before they've even seen us play. Que the threatening messages, 'Thanks!' & reports.I do not send hateful messages. I do not troll. I do not afk. What I do do, is play heroes that others regard as 'wrong' picks. And for this, I am reported. I am the one that gets the blame for the loss.

Xbox One's reputation system allows other players that have participated in a game with you to report your account for 'cheating', 'offensive language', 'unsporting behaviour' etc. This system is automatic and is frequently abused by Overwatch players who feel they have been robbed of SR, and believe that if you do not conform with the meta, you should be reported. It is easy to drop from 'good' reputation to 'bad' reputation very quickly; especially if your team consists of a group with 3 or more people who all decide to report you. Too many reports and you soon end up with the 'Avoid Me' status. This makes finding games incredibly long/difficult and pairs you up with other 'Avoid Me' players. And the only way to improve your reputation is by playing more games without being reported, making it very tedious to redeem your rep.

Blizzards new report system will be warmly welcomed by those on console but I think the fear will remain for Xbox One players as the reputation system will likely continue to be exploited. Here is just a taste of what I see every day playing Competitive mode http://i.imgur.com/6cx5UK0.jpg

Eating ultimates as D.va should be far more noticeable.

Posted: 19 Jun 2017 03:21 PM PDT

Today I was playing a game of Temple of Anubis, attacking. It was the last push so I knew many ults would be used. The mei ran at us as soon as the fight started, so I immediately held right click and ate the blizzard. Within the same second or two, a tracer rushed us to pulse bomb our healers, which I also ate. I then heard reapers shift, so I turned around and ate his entire death blossom while my team killed him.

In a span of around 4 seconds, I ate 3 potentially game changing ultimates. And there was no indication of eating any of them. No voice line, no visuals, nothing.

This game has always had those major visual or auditory "Rewards" when you do well. From announcing streaks, getting several kills very fast, killing the entire enemy team, the games great at congratulating you when you do well. And when there is zero indication of any sort when I eat ultimates, it almost makes it feel like I didn't do very much at all when I reality I changed the entire course of the fight.
