Burrow is taking way too long to get into the ground. I have 70 ping and the difference between what I see on my screen compared to what I see on the kill cam is night and day.
I can be in the ground on my screen and I die, I watch the kill cam and I literally just started the ability.
It needs a buff 100%
No the servers need fixed the are trash and are the problem
Genji lucio and dolm have similar problem because they move so fast that someone can hit them when on your screen your around a corner its called shooters advantage its a system in overwatch thats only not on cassadys ult witch is why its trash and misses
Cries in Brig Shield Delay
Same problem the serverd need fixed and shooters advantage needs fixed
happens to Tracer too
had an Ana shoot sleep at the location I was about to blink to before I even blinked
I blaming the duck tape servers for the delay in abilities right now.
Something I learned in the 30+ hours I’ve put on Venture is you have to Burrow well ahead of time if you’re using it as an escape tool. You have to recognize when you need to get out and do so very early.
Even then, the animation is still long enough (0.7s) for Cass Grenade, Hog hook, and Doom Punch to react and outright interrupt it (putting it on cooldown). It is also long enough for boops to delay your burrow even more by booping you upward.
I don’t think Burrow needs any buffs. It is counterable well enough both at startup and exit.
One thing I also encountered frequently is Torb players just deleting me during Burrow animation since they are so low to the ground and can just shotgun blast me even easier since they just have to look down at me.
The delay on burrow is there for a reason, its not an instant escape. It doesn’t need a duff because you have lag stacked on top of the intended delay in the ability to provide counterplay.
I didn’t say for it to be instant… significant assumption, but no. It needs to be quicker.
And yes it does need a buff regardless of my ping.
If really doesn’t. Your health pool is huge, use it to time your escape properly.
No, the dps who can invulnerably close the distance and kill combo you with bonus shields should NOT have an unpunishable escape actually.
It has a delay for a very important reason- to make it an agressive tool instead of an escape tool unless you are very careful.
We can make a trade though. 50% faster burrow speed in exchange for 50% longer exit speed. Wanna escape more? That’ll cost you your burst potential.
This is up to your provider to buff your latency, I guess =)
Actually speaking, Overwatch is one of the rare games without an East Coast server. I also play on 50-60 ms ping because I’m rerouted to a server that isn’t East Coast based.
Literally any other game I play has an East Coast server where I have about 10 to 30 ping max. Idk why they got rid of the EC server back in the day, it’s kind of bad they don’t have one.
I have been playing 55 ms whole OW1 before they added Fin. servers which changed it to 30 latency. I see no difference in performance until I VPN to NA where I get 150 ms.
Tracer actually has two hitboxes during Blink, which is why whacky stuff can happen
This has nothing to do with the timing of the ability lol
