Overwatch - Weekly Role Discussion Thread: Offense - April 07, 2018


Weekly Role Discussion Thread: Offense - April 07, 2018

Posted: 06 Apr 2018 10:07 PM PDT

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!

FFA in a nutshell

Posted: 07 Apr 2018 06:29 AM PDT

Junkrat reaaaallly needs a punk rock skin called "Punkrat".

Posted: 07 Apr 2018 08:15 AM PDT

Come on, it's literally perfect. Aside from the fact that it rhymes, Junkrat straight looks like he'd be walking around in a punk rock outfit. Give him an edgy black tee with a made up band like "The Rats" on it. Dye his hair (possibly mohawk), give him some crazy ear rings, maybe a belt. I'm sure there's a lot you could do with his gun that I'm just not creative enough to think of.

If you wanted to go super far with it, you could have him shout "Let's get ready to rock!" for rip-tire instead of his normal line.

Sombra's new Talon skin but edited with a different wig and makeup

Posted: 07 Apr 2018 10:07 AM PDT

That wig and makeup just don't feel right, you know?

Left is the original, right is the edit.

Went for a Clara Lille look with her hair since they're both hackers working for a seedy organization.

As a Mercy main, Widow hunting is my favorite hobby.

CUSTOM GAME: Switch to the hero that killed you

Posted: 06 Apr 2018 11:15 PM PDT

Just played a custom game, and it was a blast. The premise is a 12 player FFA, and you can choose any hero you want. However, you can't attack any player that has the same hero as you (ie Soldier can't shoot soldier). After you die, you have to switch to the hero that killed you. The game plays as if each hero is their own faction trying to recruit everyone, because the game ends when everyone is the same hero. This repeats, with the ending hero being banned each cycle. My friend and I spent an hour playing this, and it really exhibits the creativity that the custom games allows.

End of match cards should be prioritized better: MVP and multiple golds over smaller accomplishments

Posted: 07 Apr 2018 02:31 PM PDT

We've all been there. You've got four golds as Lucio and your card is for defensive assists. Or worse, you're Widowmaker with 80% scoped accuracy, and the enemy Hanzo gets a card for a few scatter kills.

Sure, we know the cards don't really do anything, but it feels bad when you know you did really great that match, and you don't get recognized. That's why I think the game should prioritize certain cards over others. In particular, I feel like MVP cards are so rare that when you qualify, that should always be your card unless someone else gets it at a higher fire time.

If you want to see what I'm talking about, this video shows a match where I literally never stopped being on fire. In the end, I got a card for my scoped crits, with an accuracy that is pretty below my average. Meanwhile, I have matches with 75-85% accuracy, and I don't get a card at all.

Scion Hanzo should reference the *actual* time when killing a 'High Noon'-ing McCree...

He has a watch. Please add some sort of Easter Egg!

"Not on my watch." (Edit: just an example, guys. Plenty of potential for many voice lines).

Don't you think Moira should have interactions with Mercy?

Posted: 07 Apr 2018 03:21 PM PDT

I always thought that Moira and Mercy didn't have ANY interactions, and after researching I found out I was right, they don't. Don't you think they should? Like Moira is the counterpart of Mercy. Maybe Mercy saying something along the lines of "what you use should be forbidden" or "you discust me", and Moira saying "your behavior is too good to be real" or "Ahh, our guardian angel" with ironic tone. Voice lines that show that they can't stand each other, that one is a negative pole and another is a positive one. Maybe in this upcoming event they add, I hope they do!

What do you think?

Winston didn't get a new Skin since Year of the Rooster!(Blizzcon doesnt count)

Posted: 07 Apr 2018 11:22 AM PDT

I just want to mention it, because everyone raged about Zarya and Hanzo, but nobody cares about our favorite Scientist! Hopefully he gets one in the new Event.

The make-up and hair of the new Sombra skin.

Posted: 07 Apr 2018 10:10 AM PDT

With the leak(?) of the new Sombra skin us Sombra mains got really hyped for this skin it looks amazing. But what we didn't like was that she kept her purple make-up. This doesn't really suit with the white,red and black of her new skin. Someone is the Sombramains Discord changed it from purple to black-ish. We wonder if it could be possible to get the make-up in this way, as it would suit much better with her upcoming skin. And maybe some small ajustments to her hair too?

Who is Reinhardt protecting when he’s 10 feet in the air?

Posted: 07 Apr 2018 10:58 AM PDT

Reinhardt is made out to be this strong, brave warrior who fights in the frontline for his team. He's supposed to be the safeguard and anchor for his teammates, but how is he supposed to accomplish these roles when a Junkrat mine sends him flying 10 feet in the air?

I know that these posts have been popping up recently, but if we keep talking about it, I'm hoping that Blizzard will acknowledge our pleas and maybe do something about it

I mean c'mon, should a 7'4", heavily-armored warrior who wields a rocket hammer and a powerful barrier be sent flying by lil Brazilian boi's megaphone?

He needs a resistance passive. Maybe reduce all CC abilities by 50%?

Edit: I used the Lucio comparison as a joke. With that logic, all the other tanks shouldn't be affected by these problems as well. I'm just saying that as the forefront/anchor of your team, Rein needs a lil something something to make him more of a viable option.

Just another dragon stri- WHAT IS THAT

Posted: 07 Apr 2018 05:00 AM PDT

Gamemode that forces players to use their worst or least played heroes.

Posted: 07 Apr 2018 06:08 AM PDT

It would help push players to learn heroes they have trouble using. Maybe it would help with toxicity by making players more versatile and willing to switch. Or not. Either way I think it would be fun.

Just Got Silenced 11 Days for being Positive... My Name is Literally "Positivity"

Posted: 07 Apr 2018 09:50 AM PDT

Recently, I got silenced for being to nice... Apparently that's reportable, since someone can get offended?! I don't understand. This reporting system can be great in all but I realized my silence went into effect the moment one person in a 4 stack (so a group of four) sent in there reports to me. I understand it may be more than that but I'm just trying to figure out why even being nice can be reportable... In that case, anything is offensive. Earlier in the ticket, I was informed that my comments seemed to sarcastic and harsh. They even accused me of typing while standing, even though it was when it was only when I died. I have a system for this. I've also been told that the drop off or cool down for a silence is 6 months, I have been clean for almost 2 years now however. If anyone could potentially see what I'm doing so wrong? Blizzard I understand you are doing your best as well to help the community become better, but I'm just a little confused =) Below is the evidence for my name and the report: Positivity#11249 on Pc and Images:UPDATED: https://imgur.com/a/u4erx

FIRST WARNING FOR ABUSIVE CHAT TICKET: https://imgur.com/a/RDVst

MORAL OF THE STORY: Be more cautious as anyone could take anything you say as sarcastic!

And for anyone who thinks the typos are proof of fakeness, I just have to point you to the ticket they sent me, which infact also has typos in it. They are humans, bound to make mistakes haha

And LAST NOTE: I'm not looking for an appeal. Just a clarification. I'm curious how blizzard sees things on there end and look forward to any confusion!

Deathmatch: Remove assist notifications

Posted: 07 Apr 2018 04:04 PM PDT

Seeing the "ELIMINATED X" text when one is not directly responsible for the kill is... irrelevant. It should be removed.
