probably referring to ash shotgun

Jesus it’s barely CC, and most of the time it’s used for movement.

Obviously Ashe’s coach gun ability.

Well if we didn’t have all this CC, how would Genji and Tracer, the most notorious heroes amongst forumgoers, be dealt with?

Orisa: Knock back (sort of)
Doomfist: Knock back
Brigitte: Knock back
Hammond: Knock back
Ashe: Knock back

At least we know what kind of CC Blizzard loves :thinking:

Knock back is not CC. People need to understand that. CC is a stun.

Plus, Ashe will use her shotgun for high ground nearly 90% of the time. It can do 90 dps but people won’t be using it for the damage really. Now, they could trick someone on the edge of a cliff and boop them off, but Ashe cannot pull it off all the time like Lucio and Pharah can. Not to mention that she puts herself at first if she doesn’t think about her positioning when trying to boop someone off a bridge,

I’ve seen Ashe kill herself by doing this before many times.

Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.

CC stands for “Crowd Control”, any skill that interrupts or limits your characters ability to participate in a fight is CC. You’re referring to the difference between ‘hard’ and ‘soft’ CC…

Thanks for trying to ‘lecture’ us with incorrect facts though.

Oh but it very much is, CC = crowd control, slows are CCs, Stuns, knockbacks, hacks, etc. :slight_smile:

You know, if you don’t have anything to say it’s okay to just be quiet. No need to make cringe Straw Man arguments and reactions.

Meh, I just feel like, whenever Blizzard releases a hero with some form of CC, the forums are going wild over nothing really.

Ashes Coach Gun feels just like Lucios Soundwave, but also knocks Ashe back (Quite far actually).
Sure people might get tired of being knocked around like a pinball, but me personally have no problem with knockbacks.

17

Ashe’s coah gun is primarily meant for mobility.

18

It’s on a lengthy cooldown and mostly used to jump? It’s like a worse version of Grapple Hook, it doesn’t even open up as much space if you do use it as a gap opening knockback.

When I and many other people complain about CC, what we’re really talking about is stuns and disabling abilities, such as hack and sleep. Sure, CC technically includes any ability with knockback as well, but that’s not how we use it, and I dislike people who deliberately argue to the dictionary to win their case.

The fact on the ground is this: Overwatch DOES have too many stuns and disables, but knockback is generally not the worst thing in the world. I may hate getting booped off the map by a Lucio or a Roadhog or what have you, but it’s a sight better than trying to pop my ult and getting shifted in the face by Brigitte and losing all my charge instantly.

you forgot lucio’s boop :smiley:
