Moira's ult causes too much visual clutter. Posted: 06 Dec 2017 12:27 PM PST I really think the visual for Moira's ult needs to be made more transparent, somehow - perhaps a series of spiraling tendrils instead of a GIANT BEAM OF HEALING AND DEATH that takes up half the screen. On open maps it's fine, but more than once I've been in a situation where I'm say, McCree, trying to break a small choke behind my Reinhardt and my friendly Moira pops ult. Which is great - it's an excellent way to push through because it's so damn intimidating to look at - but as McCree I can't do shit except shoot blindly because there's WAY too much going on my screen, especially if more ults start popping at once. How am I supposed to dink heads if I can't see them due to a friendly? No other ult takes up as much screen space for as long a duration, and it's especially detrimental to low mobility characters that can't just get a better angle. IDK man, I've just had multiple games where this has been a frustrating issue for me. I just think a little tweaking would be a good QoL change for playing with Moiras. A solution that might make everyone happy is to keep it the same for the Red Team's POV and Moira's POV (so the badassery isn't lost) , but make it look considerably more transparent for friendlies to actually properly work around. submitted by /u/Sapphu [link] [comments]

Moira Needs An "Out Of Resource" Voiceline Posted: 06 Dec 2017 07:39 AM PST Having an "I'm out of resource!" voiceline triggered when her resources is depleted would be a great quality of life change not only for Moira, but for the rest of her team. Think of it functioning similarly to Mercy's "I'm under attack!" voiceline, that triggers when she's, well, under attack. Far too many times it can appear Moira has forgotten to help her team when she really just need to top up her resource. This can create a lot of unnecessary toxicity amongst teammates. Plus, it's always fun to hear more talk between the heroes throughout the match! submitted by /u/wildriceeh [link] [comments]

Should you get angry with people in qp for practicing heroes they don't know and doing poorly on them? No. Then should you make fun of people in qp who do take it seriously and want to win but aren't being mean to everyone else because of it? Also no. Posted: 06 Dec 2017 10:11 AM PST Just let people take away from qp what they need to take away from it. Enjoy the game. Not everything has to be a hill worth fighting, dying, and trolling on. submitted by /u/Aikitikn19 [link] [comments]

Why I Quit Competitive - A Sombra Main Posted: 06 Dec 2017 10:17 AM PST I felt the need to make this post after months of ignoring it, and I feel its important because I know I'm not the only person going through this. I decided to quit Competitive after almost reaching Master Tier. I just could not deal with the toxicity that comes with being a Sombra main. (Not a one trick, I fill for what my team needs, but if dps is open, I pick sombra) The hatred is just too much to honestly cope with in a game that requires teamwork, I keep a spreadsheet next to me on how many games I play a day, and how many of those games are decided & lost at character select because of who I play as. I thought this would end after I passed gold or plat, but It didn't. If anything, it actually got worse. "Sombra is the worst character. Her EMP is useless, she does no damage" Etc. I can handle the hate, I learned to tune them out, but the problem here is, people start trolling because I'm playing her, which causes us to lose & then they have the audacity to say "We lost because of sombra" Its this catch 22 effect of: Team trolls because i play sombra Team loses game because of trolls Sombra player gets blamed for the loss (ironically) Sombra win rate drops New players see sombra win rate dropping and think you're bad so they troll as well, continuing the snowball effect I was streaming the other day, I went 63-7 on Anubis with over 45 enemies emped, we won finally, but all I got from my teammates was "This sombra is a trash dps, we had to carry her, she didnt deserve this win, couldnt kill anything" Etc. Because Sombra doesnt have a Q skill aoe cheese wipe (junkrat, reaper, etc), it gives the illusion that she isnt doing anything, and that the other dps are carrying, which is horribly false. Players acroll all ranks dont realize that the only reason why Mecree got the team wipe High Noon, is because the Sombra emped perfectly to shut down all the shields. If my team loses - I get blamed. If my team wins - I get no credibility, & get scolded for being useless. I'm done. Apagando las luces! submitted by /u/Evalerian [link] [comments]

Blizzard, I'm watching the OWL game going on right now and I can actually see the outlines on the white team! Now that you literally have it programmed in the game already, when are you going to let us customize the outline colors in game so that colorblind people can finally compete? Posted: 06 Dec 2017 05:42 PM PST I know you have pretty much ignored any and all pleas from us for the last year and a half, but now you actually have the ability to fix our issues programmed into the game and it's starting to feel a little insulting seeing this feature knowing you likely don't care to let us use it :( It is crazy how visible the enemies are to me on the stream and I can't even imagine how amazing it would be to play the game without the enemy constantly disappearing from my sight! For the love of God, let us change outline colors. Every player could pick the color they can see the best and we would all finally be on a level playing field without ruining every skin in the game by making it look like an acid trip. If you search for colorblind on reddit you will find that many of the top posts are all from Overwatch players begging you guys to do something. We've never been given so much as a single response, even when big streamers like kolorbastion have made incredibly popular posts imploring you guys to throw us a bone. It's about time you at least let us know something. Even if we won't like the response, it would still be nice if you could just come out and say that you have no plans to ever help colorblind people in this game so we could at least stop hoping for it. When I first bought the game during open beta, I never would have guessed that a company as consumer friendly as Blizzard would do something like this and that I would still not be able to see the enemy over a year and a half later. Please make it right. All will be forgiven and we will still love you, we just want to be able to see! submitted by /u/jld2k6 [link] [comments]

Symmetra needs to be rewarded for the use of Shield Generator. Posted: 06 Dec 2017 11:22 AM PST I have 210+ Hours with Symmetra and I feel like I never get credited for the use of my shield generator. No uptime playercards, in-game statistics. It has been over a year now since the Symmetra rework and nothing has been done. submitted by /u/Hauwnted [link] [comments]
