dying a lot? miss the shields?
once people get used to this, they will enjoy OW2 more. im having a blast.
I think the majority of players (especially the lower ranked ones), will have growing pains in OW2.
Players were spoiled with shields in OW1, that is definitely not the case in OW2.
A lot of the posts I see on the forums could be solved if people actually used cover and grabbed health packs, but ppl are just used to sitting behind shields.
Yes, honestly. I hope people will learn to grow rather than deflect blame.
We both know that isnt gonna work out
Just look at all the posts from people who rather than growing as a player cry for nerfs
yeah… people are babies sometimes. ugh.
I wish I could post the King of the hill meme where Hank and Bob are showing a paper to the class and he says “If those people could read, they’d be pretty upset”
but yeah, good advice
just like all the dps players after brig 1.0
/s
Yeah. I did that stuff since Halo 2. And I’m pretty sure everyone I play with gets that. It’s about the attention 2 tanks required not the shield. Stuff gets heavy on the battle? Ranged hitscan hunting you bounce behind cover let the tanks draw aggro.
Now. A support takes cover and any dps with half a brain will fish you out no problem.
The problem has ZERO to do with staying out of line of sight. People learned that with fps in the 90s.
There is no hiding from dive and OW2 is basically always rush down/dive.
Yeah, but those aren’t the same people who’s first and only shooter is Overwatch.
I like the advice “Don’t stand in the open”. So, erm, how do you push without being in the open again?
stand behind the payload, environment objects, and your tank
So generic shooter tips. Incredibly boring way to play.
Yes. Many overwatch players dont know these because they relied on shields.
No, it’s fun. Is being eliminated more fun?
Hiding like a b*** ,until you can blindside someone admist the chaos.
(Boring)
Right right, mhm, and how about that Widow on the high point having a perfect cover of all the angles? Also the remaining members of her team? How about 2 hitscan pointing at the payload?
It’s rather stylistic to be honest, “just take cover”, yeah, I’m here to play an FPS, not hide and seek. I’ve played FPS games since they were called Doom clones, my first multiplayer was with Duke Nukem 3D on serial cable. Overwatch’s hero design is at times flawed, particularly when it comes to hitscan. Widowmaker in particular since she has so much vertical mobility that she can get on a vantage point pretty easy. Rialto per example has so many sniper nests that it should be called Sniperwatch.
So you’re behind the payload to get away from the widow, while you have to try to dodge the Roadhog on the other side, meanwhile the S76 is blasting away holding M1. Your team is dead because there simply isn’t enough room behind that 1 payload to cover up behind. But sure, “take cover”, perfect plan. Lets just sit there for 5 minutes while the defending team wins on default because they happened to draw the best hitscan on the team. How is that for stellar game design?
Let’s not forget that the forums are only a minority, so let’s not take everything said here with a grain of salt.
peek in-and-out of cover, or die out in the open
(engaging)
Counter-pick and eliminate them.
So, you should know that being in the open is a death sentence.
your team has the same options available
so leave the payload, win the fight, THEN get on objective
everyone plays both sides of the map for this reason
like any other shooter?
With just one tank it’s rather difficult to, the counter pick is to have an equally good widowmaker on your team. Else you leave your team vulnerable
Open maps were rather normal in Quake and Unreal Tournament, but you didn’t have pre-defined sniper nests all over the map with a pre-defined sniper with hyper mobility on the vertical plain. It’s a reason why snipers in FPS games are designed around stealth rather than open warfare like in Overwatch
Mirror matching is rarely a counter
Again, rather stylistic, it’s a dynamic match, not a match of chess
Hardly, other shooters are designed around strength and weakness. You don’t give your demo guy a sniper rifle or your assault a mounted machine gun. Overwatch is flawed in the design of heroes in that some have more strengths than weaknesses. Particularly hitscan has too few draw-backs given how the maps are designed.
