Can we add Inertia / Movement accel and Fix the animations

[anon1050103]

My dude you talk trash about being good and that Im so bad and you wont even put it test because if you do lose its going to look really bad on you being masters and losing to a plat.

[Prometheus-13647]

You said you’ll hit masters.

I’ll 1v1 you the day that happens, bud.

[CoolUsername-11445]

Yeah Sombra has that same offset head issue during ADAD as Tracer. I believe they’re the only two. Echo actually has accel, but maybe that inconsistency makes her tough to target in a game where most heroes don’t have it.

While I may or may not notice a subtle implementation of movement accel in other games, I’ve spent well over 1K hours training my aim while using various movement tactics in OW, so I’m far more sensitive to the relationship between movement and aim here. A change like this would kill my muscle memory.

I could adapt if I needed to. But even just subjectively speaking, I don’t like the feel of accel. Feels slow and unresponsive for me. But you’re not wrong for wanting what you want either. We just have different tastes.

[anon1050103]

I didnt mean while flying she does not have accel while walking

I do get where your coming from and different tastes for sure, I do think it would benefit the game in the long run though and I dont think its that sluggish I dont really even notice it that much unless im paying attention.

Its only noticeable on enemys.

[CoolUsername-11445]

Yeah, Echo actually has it during normal walking. So do Sigma and Lucio. Not sure about Zen – he might have it faintly. Maybe it’s a theme for floating characters.

[anon1050103]

Oh she does, I just tested it I didnt even realise just shows how unoticeable light movement accel is lol.
Zen doesnt have it I just tested it.

Her flying movement accel is a lot more noticeable though.
I probably just mistaked her head swaying and animations for lack of movement accel but she really does have it im suprised.

You test it by pressing D then immediately pressing A as soon as you can after pressing D if they have movement accel they wont move very much if they dont they will go regular speed but it can be difficult to test because it is hard to notice since I didnt even realise till you pointed it out.

@anon1050103

Its, what allows Tracer and Hitscans to dominate the scene though and its not really that good it makes all types of aiming very RNG to a certain degree

And inherently artifically lowers skill while making casuals suffer, I dont think the movement is a good thing or makes it unique I think what makes it unique is the characters and their abillities.

CSGO and valorant have a lot of movement accel this game just needs a little bit currently it has none and characters literally micro teleport and stuttert to different locations.
And almost every modern game forget CSGO and Valorant has movement accel, even Sandboxes use movement accel like Garys mod.

Nah, man.
I need my hit of endorphins from going fast, every now & then.
And this game does that for me. Not as much as it used to, every since they nerfed Lucio’s speed into the dirt & his grave, but there is no real good reason to remove another thing that feels fun, “for the sake of balance/competitiveness”.

This game has felt more & more emotionless, with each demand of removing aspects that made the game fun for the sake of competitive balance. Don’t need another fun aspect removed.

[anon1050103]

I dont want the speed nerfed I wouldnt mind them making characters faster and having more mobillity my most played are tracer and genji with a bit of doomfist so you can already tell I like mobillity too the only aim character I play is Cass because he doesnt really have any counters so hes pretty much safe to play into any comp, they could even have a faster running speed by default I just dont like how unatural it feels to aim against lack of movement accel but Im not trying to get rid of moblity based abillities just want movement accel.

[CoolUsername-11445]

Dude, I suck at flying with Echo so bad because of that accel. I need to practice.

[kongajinken-1805]

Don’t care, movement acceleration is sluggish, just because it makes aiming easier doesn’t mean its worth it.

[DRUNKINJEDI-11320]

i dont want movement acceleration either. dont think it would feel right with overwatch or it would be really strange. maybe it would be the answer to hypermobility and crowd control tho?

i also thought the devs were toying with the idea. i think they changed their minds tho and maybe for the better

[anon1050103]

@CoolUsername-11445

The one on her flying is ridiculous they actually might have to tone that down and thats coming from the guy asking for movement accel, that has more accel than actual movement accel games like CSGO the regular movement doesnt feel that high though it feels almost unoticeably light.

@kongajinken-1805

Don’t care, movement acceleration is sluggish, just because it makes aiming easier doesn’t mean its worth it.

Ball has movement accel and looking at your pfp im assuming you use him and I just found out thanks to CoolUsername Echo actually has movement accel even without flying although its very light amount of movement accel, but Im sure youve never noticed it because it really isnt that sluggish. It doesnt make aiming easier it adds more skill to aiming by making it less RNG and makes movement more thoughful and articulate.

Movement accel doesnt have to be super high like in CSGO or Valorant you can just tone it down a lot of games have movement accel but it feels like there almost isnt any.

@DRUNKINJEDI-11320

maybe it would be the answer to hypermobility and crowd control tho?

It probably would help with this a lot since it would make it easier to hit but aim would still be just as skillful current aiming is some what RNG I think they could tone down stuns and CC with the addition of movement accel

[anon55663292]

Don’t care that you dont care, it doesn’t make movement feel sluggish, learn what sluggish means.

@anon1050103

If they add it in overwatch 2

Pretty sure they said they were experimenting with it, though that was a long time ago.

I hope they do add it, even if just a bit.

[anon1050103]

If they dont add its thats fine but I just hope they atleast test it in the OW2 beta or an experimental or something I think they would find it beneficial if they did test it.

Ball as movement acceleration in his ball form, thats fine, he does not have it in his walking around form.

[anon1050103]

Yeah and Echo when walking normally.

[NighthAwk-13514]

@anon1050103

but Im sure youve never noticed it because it really isnt that sluggish

I actually have noticed this before, and it’s probably one of the reasons I don’t really like her too much. I do think she actually feels somewhat clunky to play.

[HanYolo-21638]

I do remember them say long ago that characters would accelerate slightly slower in ow2. As long as it’s not too drastic I think its a good thing. But don’t change it to much ad spamming really a big part of overawatch. Sure nerf it, but don’t make it go away.

I dont know why you think its clunky and sluggish when every major game has it most modern games since 1990s the original doom 1 and after pretty much has it

All those games are more popular, in numbers twitch viewers, and esports viewers so it cant be that clunky because those games even csgo which game out way before so you would expect overwatch to be more popular beats it in almost all metrics.

It doesnt have to be too hard but I just want a little right now hitbox literally teleport its so bad it makes some characters feel really tough to play.
