Cosmetics make less sense to me in this genre because I can't see myself nearly as frequently.
Cosmetics aren't for other people. They're for ME.

technically the game calls them charms. but we all know what they are. I'm not even an anime-watcher, but i'll call it like it is.

lol oops, my brain always thinks "Soldier 69", I corrected the wrong thing.
@Cosmetics - it's very unlikely that I'll boy loot boxes. I like the sense of randomness with the box per level, and I can [fairly] easily save up for things I want to buy.

For those of you playing Overwatch, how highly do you value building "combo" teams? Like, do you go out of your way to pick Zarya if you see Pharah (for ults) or Soldier/Mei (for double shield front/mid line)? Or do you just pick which hero you think you should play for the given map, regardless of the other players?
I think it's obvious that people will go out of their way to pick a Tank/Healer if the team needs it, but how often, if ever, do you pick the specific character with synergy in mind?
I pretty much pick whatever from a pool of chars I enjoy, and if I'm feelin spunky I'll actually play support when there isn't one but even that isn't a guarantee while ranked is in limbo. That means I'm pretty much always Tracer/Widow/Pharah/Junkrat/McCree/D.va. It's pretty much the opposite of how I play League or Dota where I almost literally don't care who I play.
When ranked comes out I'll probably have to learn Reinhardt, Zarya, and Mercy as just in case picks but I'm going to try and just lock in offense every game if I can(or Widow on the good maps for her).

I will say that as someone really similar in that way, learning Zarya has been surprisingly rewarding. I didn't expect her kit to have quite the depth that it does. At first glance, it seemed like a very easy character, but she's the hardest tank IMO.

Plz
The strategic depth involved in playing Reinhardt is incalculable.
Holding down right click and walking, man.

I didn't complain last night when red picked widow as he clearly was the best in the stack at that time.
Unless he was preventing the enemy team from even trying to capture the next point by fucking with them as D.Va the whole time.

Sounds like I need a red in my life to carry me through any obstacle.

p.s. is the overwatch forum only viewable from teamliquid.net or am i blind and used to only checking this thread on liquidlegends
also i put on epic graphics and turned off fps limits and im getting >60fps pretty consistently (according to the ingame reporting) but it constantly goes up and down... are you guys using "daily" fps limits or w.e. that option is called? should i turn down my graphic settings to prevent any stuttering that may be caused by fluctuating fps?
|
if your FPS is dipping below your monitors refresh rate, then yeah that'll reduce stuttering, especially if you lower the special effects settings instead of textures. otherwise it's irrelevant. an either way it's irrelevant as the game isn't a 60 fps game from what i remember of the video. you could lock yourself to 30 and play with no real disadvantage.

you aren't blind, and not being able to change the sidebar is a FEATURE
be happy about it
however, LL OW works.

got fallout 4 okay but still has the annoying rpg stuff where you have no idea if you just can't find what you need to proceed or if its somewhere else (although this is a result of me running around randomly from location to location but still),

Zarya is definitely my second favorite tank. If hooking people didn't feel so good, I'd prob play her more than Roadhog.
Hitting quick moving targets consistently with Mouse 1 is hard though T_T

That's actually the worst thing. Praying that these people behind you are able to do whatever so that you can actually afford to release that right-click.
When I get 5 eliminations on the objective because I charge the enemy Reinhardt, solo him+Lucio then ult to kill someone else while my team gets wiped 4 (had one dead) versus Mei+Reaper without their ults, sure I didn't hold right-click. But by the time I respawn we've lost because people don't use your shield and act like it's there when you put it down.
The level of play is so much lower than during the stress test and the open beta. I didn't realise how impactful people knowing what to do (as opposed to only knowing how to aim) is important at that time, makes you appreciate it (since I'm really bad myself, won't do shit solo if my teammates are headless chicken).

To be fair, you will lose a duel with a Thornbjorn turret at any non-sniper range.  Can out-peek it but if he's sitting there repairing it you'll need help to take it out.

It's k I'll just stick to winning drafts and failing Reaper ults
