Boop is out of control on Overwatch

Seriously. Some games, you get booped around so much it’s impossible to keep track on what is happening.

Thankfully, knockback moves are generally the weakest form of CC and often times the least detrimental.

CC’s a S76 3 times. Well, unless he loses LoS, he’s still firing.

Quadruple CC Reinhardt. Well… I was within swinging range.

Boops are fine. Work on your positioning and what’s happening around you. It makes the game more interesting.

Boops are only obnoxious when theres multiple CC heroes on the same team. Playing against a Ball and a Doom makes playing a non-mobile hero feel awful personally…

Otherwise, CC heroes aren’t bad on their own.

In 2016, it was completely ok, but Blizz overused it. Now you can often experience multiple boops even without touching the ground.

The problem is, they’re just too ez to apply. Many of them are AoE with massive hitbox.

Boops and stuns are incredibly excessive, some need to be flat out removed.

I find junk the worst as his displaces you so much and into the air. Doom is pretty awful too especially when paired with ball, junk, pharah or some others. My hog flew right over the first point archway on Dorado and ended up round the back somewhere after pharah put me in the air and junk double mined me.

I also find that being disoriented too often can make me feel a bit travel sick - and I don’t get travel sick when travelling and can wear a VR headset for hours with no ill-effects. But the suddenness of it in OW for some reason befuddles my brain. I leave if I am spending too much time being booped around and off the ground. It can be funny for the first couple of times but after that it just feels unplayable and unfun.

I have a POTG where I get juggled by boops the entire 15 second clip. There’s way too many ways to send people airborne.

The prominent ones are

  • Ball
  • Lucio
  • D.Va
  • Brig
  • Doomfist
  • Junkrat mines
  • Pharah
  • Ashe sidearm
  • Orisa orb
  • Hog hook? Maybe not boop, but a major displacement ability nonetheless

And any team outside of wacky gamemodes is at most cobbled together of a subset of those characters. Personally I don’t think it’s unplayable because of boops, but that’s just me.

You don’t like the Ball/DVa/Doom/Pharah/Brig/Lucio rollercoaster ride?

Speaking for myself, I like a good game of pinball, but I’m usually the player not the ball…

As a tank main: YES. SO MUCH.
EVEN PLAYING REINHARDT WITH STEADFAST YOU GET BOOPED EVERYWHERE

Have you faced an enemy Junkrat + Pharah + Sigma + Orisa + Brig + Lucio ?
THAT my friend is the true PAIN of any tank player.

Never noticed that, i like the boop mechanic. It always leads to hilarious moments.

i can’t fathom why Junkrat’s mine MUST boop you 30 meters in the air. I just can’t.
