Weekly Role Discussion Thread: Support - February 03, 2018

Posted: 02 Feb 2018 09:09 PM PST

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

The objective of support is to heal, buff and provide utility. Support heroes boost the overall performance of their team by increasing their survivability, speed, and damage output. They are generally the worst duelists and are best when surrounded by teammates.

Overwatch Wikia

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

Share guides and strategies that are valuable to a Support 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!

I think it's time to mention this again - Blizzard. An opacity slider. Please

Posted: 03 Feb 2018 07:53 AM PST

This issue is never going to made a higher priority if we don't continue to make it known that it's a problem.

We need an opacity slider for point markers, death markers, etc.

I'm tired of not being able to see anyone I'm trying to hit because there's a giant white circle with something in it obscuring my view.

Point markers are fine for new players but I've been playing since launch. I don't need a big circle telling me where the point is, especially if it's hindering my ability to see enemies.

Need me a girl like that.

Been on Reddit awhile anonymously, and finally made an account JUST to tell this story.

I was playing competitive Overwatch last night and we were attacking on Horizon Lunar Colony. This two stack consisting of a dude and a chick joined the team chat and she was freaking out because apparently she had accidentally hit comp instead of quickplay. He lamented that he was like too tired for comp, etc., and that when we lost the match, he'd be out of Diamond again.

She said something like "I know what to do" and LEFT, knowing it'd be canceled since we had JUST spawned, and lost 50 SR so that he wouldn't lose Diamond.

Guy out there, you better treasure that chick forever. Idk if she's your friend or what, but that was the sweetest fucking thing I've ever seen in an online game in my whole life.

Small but VERY COOL Torb buff idea.

Posted: 03 Feb 2018 12:53 PM PST

So we all saw the OWL joke with Torb getting Genji wall climb. I laughed...

But what about Torb? He is highly situational, no argument there. Why not a tiny alteration, a buff if you will to mix things up:

Let him throw his Lvl 1 turret. Give him an arc like Ana's 'nade. (and the wireframe on where it is going to land)

IF he can get to it, he can upgrade it. If not, a Lvl 1 turret where Widow can stand would be a nice little addition to his kit. It takes little to kill, but is just enough of a buzzing bee that it would be a blast to experiment with.

Torb in a team fight? Toss a turret 20 yards behind the enemy team instead of at your feet.

How to add infinite bots on any team in a custom game.

Posted: 03 Feb 2018 08:52 AM PST

Hello. I found this glitch two days after the 12 vs 12 glitch was publicly revealed. 12 vs 12 got patched within 5 days after it was revealed. I decided to keep my X vs X (X meaning any number) to myself and no one else.

I started to host 25 vs 25 then I started to host "omnic crisis" which was the 4 original heroes and 50 bastions.

I got more creative and made more game modes like the following...

  • Genji Hell - 2 genjis vs 50 bastions

  • Cops and Robbers - 6 soldiers vs 50 roadhogs

  • Zombie Apocalypse - Heroes I have enabled vs 50 reapers who can melee only

  • America vs NK (srry if its offensive i dont mean it to be offensive) but it's 6 mccree vs 25 soldiers and one roadhog

  • Pig grinder - 6 DoomFists vs 25 roadhogs

as you see I spent a lot of time making these game modes fun. I spent a lot of time balancing these game modes. I hosted them publicly so people can enjoy a rare game mode.

If you ever played in my games you will notice this symbol specifically in the titles: ▒ 5 months later, someone figures out how to do the glitch and made it very public on a discord and on their YT channel. I made my video public and well here is the tutorial.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epyNpcTbuBY

it will most likely get patched sadly and it will be really upsetting but the cat is out of the bag. I hope you can enjoy the glitch before it is patched.

I enjoy finding glitches in video games but I don't abuse them if they give me some sort of advantage in a competitive or regular game. Good day.

*If you make a video of or a tutorial on this glitch, all I asks is for credits to my OW name or YT channel which is linked above. thanks. *

This is how I like to imagine the team designed Hanzo.

Jeff Stood at the front of the room in front of four other members of the Overwatch team.

"Name your frustrations with the sniper class in other games, and consider it fixed in Overwatch." he said.

The first dev responded with "Struggling to reach cool sniper nests"

"Not knowing where your enemies are" stated the second.

"Being useless against targets around corners", the third dev answered

The last dev thought for a moment and finally replied with "Not being able to hit the enemy.."

Hi Im Kiyomaro and i finally made top 500 (PC NA) after playing since beta!

Posted: 03 Feb 2018 10:09 AM PST

Proof first: https://imgur.com/a/7zxjj

Ever since I was young i always dreamed to be a professional gamer. I had been a unsuccessful csgo player (peaking at LE) for a long time. When overwatch came out, I tried out the beta, and i instantly knew that this was my game. I first started at plat for most of season 2, and hit diamond towards the end. I hit masters for season 3 and was hardstuck there for 5 straight seasons. There was alot of doubts during this time, i didnt know if i was going to plateau forever for if im just washed up. I was finally able to afford a gaming PC and a 144hz monitor for season 8, a big jump from my 60 hz laptop. I instantly hit gm early in the season and then after a bit of grinding i got t500. I know that im still a long way off from a OWL contract, something i desire more than anything else in the world, but im happy i even made it this far and i just wanted to share this with you guys.

I recently started streaming around the time i hit gm, but i dont know if i can link my twitch, so feel free to pm me and ill be happy to let you know. I main DPS and im one of the few mccree mains in t500 (FeelsBadMan).

TLDR: Theres really no point in this thread, its just a personal milestone that i wanted to share with everyone

I made a Zenyatta wallpaper out of a visual bug posted long time ago.

Posted: 03 Feb 2018 04:26 AM PST

I'm pretty sure this image was posted more than a year ago, but at the time I downloaded it because I thought it looked good and could make a cool wallpaper in the future. If I remember correctly it was a visual bug that just made the whole screen to go monochrome.

So after all this time I was deleting trash from my PC and found the saved image, so I decided to give wallpaper-making a shot and see what panned out. After an hour or two, this is my result!

If you have any suggestions or feedback I'll be glad to read it.

Edit: Textless version

Edit 2: Thank you so much for the kind comments! <3

Edit 3: 1440p version
