hey guys,
today i wanted to discuss a very annoying part of overwatch games which is staggering. while staggering is a strategic part of the game to give one team an advantage over the other team for a period of time. it is really annoying when it last for a very long time or even the whole game because some people wanna run at the enemy without their teammates. so i came up with a way that may help reduce the amount of time wasted began staggered, feedback is really appreciated. the way it works is the if multiple people in a team die within a span of 4-6 second from each other increase the respawn timer for the first people that died to force player to spawn together and hence reduce staggering. the technique must not work in certain situations like overtime etc.
other ideas and feedback would be appreciated
So, tl;dr: respawn in waves?
ehh… it kind of takes another element of team play out of this team-based game if you do that
Staggering is a great tactic. If your team is dying, push back a bit. Don’t always try to engage unless you know you have a chance of winning. If you get caught out of place, it’s your own fault.
If your team is getting staggered for extended periods of time, then they aren’t playing well.
That being said, the best ways to help fix staggering are Mercy’s rez, Lucio’s speed boost and Symmetra’s teleporter.
I think the point is not to stop stagger tactics, just stagger due to people not being able to hold themselves back and jump in to feed the enemy team.
I think a command that makes a character say something like: “Hold back, our teamates are dead!” and print it in the chat could work.
Btw, posted here cause I didn’t find other topics with this subject.
