Overwatch - Weekly Role Discussion Thread: Offense - February 10, 2018


Weekly Role Discussion Thread: Offense - February 10, 2018

Posted: 09 Feb 2018 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!

Murloc Island was a LIE!

Skin designers, please don't always take away Orisas key trait

Posted: 10 Feb 2018 11:35 AM PST

I really love the legendary skins that were made for Orisa but sadly they all share one thing: the eyes. They always get removed and instead there are small dots or lines to replace them. First of all, it kinda destroyes one of here potg intros but secondly it robs her of her welcoming aura, which lorewise was important for Efi. So my only request is: keep staying awesome and keep making awesome skins but please, give her eyes.

This Is Why You Don't Over Extend

Can we have a voice line when Moira is low on energy?

Posted: 10 Feb 2018 01:25 PM PST

I think it would be a good addition. Reinhardt alerts his team when his shield is low so why can't Moira? I know voice chat exists, but not everyone uses it extensively.

Mystery Heroes: Heroes should reroll after a round ends

Posted: 10 Feb 2018 02:01 PM PST

I'm pretty tired of losing to a lucky Bastion-Orisa-Lucio on capture points only to lose to the exact same Bastion-Orisa-Lucio comp the next round.

How to get the flag fast.

Training Room Kinda Sucks.

Posted: 10 Feb 2018 06:00 AM PST

I think the Training Room is well overdue for an update, or even a completely new map. In my opinion the bots movements are way too easy to memorize, making them easy to predict. Also their hitboxes are... a little off. I think an update to the hitboxes of the bots would be really nice and would really benefit new players who go to the training room for legitimate practice, and instead of enforcing bad habits like "Eeeh get your crosshair sorta near em and click and it hits usually" teach them good habits. Also, I think a great addition would be more kinds of bots. Flying bots, preferably with Pharah's sorta wobbly hover maneuvers. Bots that are smaller and possibly move more quickly than the stock, kinda like Genji or Baby D.Va. Larger bots with more HP to substitute tanks.

EDIT: I came up with another idea while in the shower, I think a neat addition would be a sort of timed, minigame-style challenge. Something along the lines of "Kill X Amount of Bots in X Amount of Seconds". I'm sure there are more things you could do with that idea but that's all I've got in my sleep deprived little mind.

So, to recap:

  • More accurate hitboxes

  • Changed movement patterns

  • Different/Larger map

  • Different kinds of bots

I just feel like the current training room is really lack luster and could use some polishing.

Blizzard, when we mute players, can it please also mute their voice lines

Posted: 10 Feb 2018 11:24 AM PST

For 16 minutes this guy spammed 'The moon that wains today was the full moon yesterday' whilst playing Orisa. Unfortunately muting their voice or text chat does nothing to their voice lines! Would really help as a QoL change (ik we just had a bunch of them) when people spam their character's voice lines. It's seriously getting tiring after having quite a few games with this problem.

EDIT: Yes I have reported him, always fun to report when it's actually banable. EDIT 2: Or maybe an option when we right click on their name like 'Squelch voice-lines'

Defending the flag in CTF gives you 10 SR per win

Posted: 10 Feb 2018 05:37 AM PST

If you're playing Symmetra or Bastion and camping the flag as a defence, you only gain 10 SR for a win, but if you lose, you go down at least 20.

This is because the SR is performance-based, and even if you were very valuable to your team, the few clutch kills you secure are not impressive to the blind system.

Whoever is on defence duty has a raw deal.
