That’s it. Since the ability can be reset by kills, it’s hard to know exactly when it’s ready because sometimes you still get the cd reset for kill participation.

Generally nomal CDs don’t have sound effects for when they are ready but sure why not

It is called the “assist/elim” notification.

You are incorrect. Go into the training grounds, use an ability, close your eyes, then listen.
isnt there a noise already for that
Don’t they all make a sound when they come off cooldown?
They do, they arent super loud but loud enough lol
He already does, it’s called the elimination sound. If you hear that, then 9/10 your swift strike is off cooldown. The only time it isn’t is if a kill was stolen from you and the elimination occurred before your strike went on cooldown.
Pff now that I pay attention you’re right. I guess I just never focused on it.
Oh dang that’s actually a really good idea. If /ALL/ heroes have their own sound effects, the abilities can be used on cue with them when necessary.
Reinhardt’s fire strike leaves cooldown, you hear a specific sound effect for only fire strike. Considering I play mostly on sound, this would be INCREDIBLY useful for someone like me.
Use the kill feed on the top right.
The main thought behind this quality of life change to avoid exactly that. It’s one of Jeff’s core principles he had when they were designing the sound for Overwatch. “Make me be able to play the game without looking”.
