Weekly Role Discussion Thread: Support - March 31, 2018

Posted: 30 Mar 2018 10:07 PM PDT

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!

Zenyatta should reload when he Ults. Change my mind.

Posted: 31 Mar 2018 08:29 AM PDT

His ultimate is far too reactive to be able to consciously reload before you know you will use it. Reloading mid ult will help zen fulfill his role of facilitating damage during a team fight.

Being mid reload, interrupting reload to save the team, and then restarting the reload feelsbadman. I sprout so many extra arms when I trance.. let one of them start refilling the balls...

Edit: Yes, I am aware that Zenyatta has a high pickrate and winrate. Yes, the change is not "needed" to make him viable. As some have stated in the comments, this change would not make the skill floor any lower on the hero since it's such a rare circumstance. Just an improvement in moments that feel bad.

I appreciate the comments regardless, my dudes.

The colorblind mode does not work.

The colorblind mode does not work.

This has been a bother for me since launch and if it was fixed, the game would be -massively- improved for myself and other colorblind players.

When you enable colorblind mode in other games, it will change the color of various UI/HUD elements.

Example

This is great.

In Overwatch, it will change the color of EVERYTHING.

Example

This is awful. I don't use it.

This is what you see.

Example

This is what I see.

Example

(I have Protanopia – Red-Green Color Blindness)

It may not look so bad, but I very easily miss any red colored indications during matches. This includes player outlines, payload/capture icons ect... If Overwatch had friendly fire, I'd be eliminating my own team.

Jeff has mentioned a fix a long while back but there's been no updates. It would be great to get a response from him as so many are affected with colorblindness.

Thanks for reading!

Doomfist should get his predecessor's skin for Uprising

Posted: 31 Mar 2018 04:06 AM PDT

I mean, the doomfist we have now is not the one who was 7-8 years ago, during the events of Overwatch Uprising, right? Getting a skin resembling one of his predecessors would be awesome!

Can we put an end to the idea that non-hitscan heroes take no skill to play?

Posted: 31 Mar 2018 07:47 AM PDT

There's more to this game than aiming. Every single hero is difficult to play competitively and if they weren't than that hero would be OP.

For example, I get called out a lot as a Pharah main for playing an "easy" hero. There's nothing easy about avoiding several hitscans counters every game.

Why can't we just enjoy the game and find ways to deal with the heroes we don't like instead of belittling others?

McCree and Tracer in the style of the Gorillaz

Posted: 31 Mar 2018 11:02 AM PDT

McCree

Tracer

My last post with D.Va was pretty popular and I got a lot of requests, especially for McCree. So here he is, as promised (u/RyanIsAJedi). Tracer too because I had already planned to draw her ages ago.

McCree's gun was easily my favorite. It's so beautiful. McCree, in general, was just so fun to draw. He looks really weird all skinny.

Tracer's weapons were a nightmare, spent way too long tweaking them. She was probably the hardest to do since she already looks like a Gorillaz, long legs and all that, so it was hard to push the design. I also removed the logo on her leg because there was no way to make it look good.

I'm probably gonna do Junkrat and a Talonz style group picture next. But if you have any ideas, please share.
