Weekly Role Discussion Thread: Offense - December 16, 2017

Posted: 15 Dec 2017 09:07 PM PST

In this weekly thread you can discuss the Offense roles of Overwatch to your heart's delight. What are the characteristics of those heroes?

The main objective of the offense role is to scout the area, harass the opposing team, and press the objective. Heroes classified as offense generally have high damage weapons and abilities and lower health pools than tanks and some defense heroes. They are usually excellent duelists with high mobility and good burst or sustained damage.

Overwatch Wikia

You can find a list of the current offensive heroes on the Overwatch Hero Overview.

Share guides and strategies that are valuable to an offensive Overwatch Hero or other tips and tricks that helped you to get better. You can also propose ideas why a certain hero is bad in your eyes and how to make it better. Please do so in a constructive way!

**Reinhardt bug list - pls fix him**

Posted: 16 Dec 2017 08:22 AM PST

Yesterday, I posted a video of a Reinhardt charge bug and it got some attention. The user u/redtigerstripe ironically said "Waiting for excessively long list of Reinhardt bugs". Well, there are a lot of bugs with this hammer-swinging German man so I decided to really make this list. I hope it will get some attention and it will be fixed.
I only found bugs for his charge and his earthshatter. Some of them are pretty common, others are very rare. Bit when they occure they can be very gamebreaking. Let's get started!

Charge

https://redd.it/7k0sxe

  • Reinhardt the Runner: This is a bug, which happens when Reinhardt hits his enemy right when the Charge should end. He Ends u pinning the enemy and charging a Little bit further in a weird running Animation.

  • Wall is Jello: When the Charge ends right in front of the wall and Reinhardt Releases the pinned enemy, the enemy goes right through the wall.

  • Ghost Pin: It's possible, that Rein charges a Wall and an enemy near oder behind it dies,even if he doesn't actually get pinned.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPkhPCsCGu4&index=8&list=PL1XKQTT-5SEE_bo3QJYx0XGuX74KrrKNZ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HYDRv4zoOM&index=10&list=PL1XKQTT-5SEE_bo3QJYx0XGuX74KrrKNZ

Earthshatter

  • Ghost Shatter: This a very game-breaking bug, where evrybody should be shattered, but nobody actually is.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnbvw7WLZ0I&index=11&list=PL1XKQTT- 5SEE_bo3QJYx0XGuX74KrrKNZ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kzKbQjbtw8&index=13&list=PL1XKQTT-5SEE_bo3QJYx0XGuX74KrrKNZ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnR9wOihDJM&index=17&list=PL1XKQTT-5SEE_bo3QJYx0XGuX74KrrKNZ

  • Shield Shatter: That's a bug, in which Reinhardt shatters into a shield, which should normally block Earthshatter, but everybody behind the shield gets shattered.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5k8ghsakNCA&index=19&list=PL1XKQTT-5SEE_bo3QJYx0XGuX74KrrKNZ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OI5hBLTLMZU&index=20&list=PL1XKQTT-5SEE_bo3QJYx0XGuX74KrrKNZ

Now I've got one very rare and specific Bug.

*I'm not really sure if this one is still in game because this is Mercy's old rez. It Looks like it's a bug, where the Invincibility of Mercy's rez doesn't affect Earthshatter.

If you read this whole text: Thank you! It would be very Kind of you if you could share this list so maybe a Blizzard employee sees this and Reinhardt will get another fix.

The wrong way to play Yeti Hunter.

It's just a tripple kill, but it makes me happier than any quad, quint or sextuple kill I have ever gotten.

Shapeshifting Widow

Along the current in-game tips, Blizzard should ask pro players to write some and add these to the game. What do you think?

Posted: 16 Dec 2017 05:15 AM PST

This could give (fake example)
"To kill a 200hp slept hero as Ana, wait until the end of the sleep animation then shoot, grenade, shoot." - Unkoe, Los Angeles Valiant, 16 December 2017
The tips could be removed when outdated. This would integrates the pro scene in-game and provide quality tips.

Here's a neat spot on Hanamura I haven't seen on here yet! Should work for other heroes, too!

Some overwatch currency I made for class

Had to make a currency design for my class and I was procrastinating so much by playing Overwatch that I decided to do an Overwatch currency.

Tip - if you're a full HP Roadhog without ult and you see a Hanzo ult coming from far away, let it hit you for a bit and heal yourself for free ult charge

Posted: 16 Dec 2017 05:33 AM PST

Hanzo can't get more ult charge from damage done by his ult, so there's no reason not to do this. Well, obviously you shouldn't do it if you see the Hanzo, or pretty much any other enemy.

Useful for if you see a Hanzo ult that has flown a long way across the map and you're just walking out of base for example.

Could we get a slight rework of the PTR Zenyatta buff?

Posted: 16 Dec 2017 11:42 AM PST

As a Zenyatta main, I was stoked to see his new buff on the PTR. He's finally able to see which enemy/ally has one of his orbs attached to them . He's also able to see how much health they currently have which is a god-sent. I know I may not be the first to ask, but wouldn't it be a major improvement to see a hero icon next to the health meter? It currently shows the username and I rarely have time to memorize each player's name with their hero choice. I know the update isn't live yet but I think it'd be awesome to see on the next PTR patch. How do you guys feel about the buff? I'm pumped for it.

BUG: Soldier can shoot with his ult through walls on Watchpoint Gibraltar

Posted: 16 Dec 2017 03:48 AM PST

In light of XQC's 7-day ban, I think we should give some recognition to the streamers who are a force for positivity in the community like Emongg and Annemunition.

Posted: 15 Dec 2017 11:17 PM PST

Emongg is one of the most positive, friendly streamers I've ever watched. He's a former pro (currently not on an OWL team but is GM rank) and has been streaming pretty regularly late at night. He interacts with his chat a lot, explains his thought process mid game, is highly entertaining and fun to watch and is such a wholesome dude in and out of game. He's so well-known at his rank for being positive that players on his team will frequently express how much they love playing with him on their team. His stream has been steadily growing but totally deserves more recognition.

Annemunition is a bigger streamer who doesn't exclusively play overwatch, but is very relaxed and fun to watch. I don't believe she's GM like Emongg is but she's up there and is fun to watch regardless. While she doesn't only play overwatch (rainbow six siege is a big game she plays), it is her main game on her stream. Anne is a talented musician, graphic designer and personality who has long been a positive force on twitch: she once gifted a mechanical keyboard to a viewer that Mrs Violence chewed out on Twitter for asking what keyboard she used.

If there are any super positive streamers who you think people should pay attention to, write about them below!

EDIT: in this thread there have been some reasonable complaints about Annemunition, which I want to address. I'll amend what I said: yes, Anne does get mad and blames teammates at times, but is good at keeping it contained and never lashes out at teammates in voice or text chat like XQC and even Sinatraa do. Rather, she voices it to herself and then drops it. The most notable thing about that is that she may get upset, but shes never outright cruel and demeaning to teammates about it.

That said, there definitely are streamers some of you pointed out who are super positive and fun to watch like Harbleu, ster and some others. So spread the love and share a streamer you like.
