Oh, how I miss the vanilla days.
Mercy full team rez. Sym teleport entire team back to payload from spawn, McCree meta. Going 6 man D.Va and diving point 1 on 2 CP with ease.
The list goes on…
Although, I like where the game is now. I actually prefer as it stands Mercy’s 30 second cooldown rez, for example.
As a player from Beta until now, I’ve watched this game grow tremendously.
What do you miss from the “good old days”?
I miss flanking being worthwhile.
I miss being able to trap basketballs.
People giving a damn about QP, other than that not much.
mass rez mercy.
roadhog oneshot.
sym/torb health stack.
genji triple jump, 8 sec blade.
70 damage fth.
phew im glad they all gone.
Old sym
Old torb
Old pulse bomb
Mass rez
When OWL didn’t exist and the game had dev attention.
When Console was playable, and not riddled with Smurfs and XIM users.
When There was hope.
I’m a PC player… for me, at least, a mouse is such an advantage over controller, especially when matched against each other…and for that reason XIM should be a bannable offense for any competitive/ranked game. If XB/PS want to allow for KB/mouse support for games, then that’s fine.
Is it just me or does Overwatch run slower on console? Not FPS, but literally slower to compensate for slower aiming with the sticks?
PS4 does not allow it. Jeff gave the coward answer by saying: “Tell the console makers the problem exists and tell them to change it”. Basically passing the buck to Sony. The game is unplayable now in QP. There is always a sharpshooting widow that is blatantly using a mouse in every match. Jeff himself said they were looking into combating it, and will give us updates. THAT WAS OVER A YEAR AGO.
I can definitely see how Widow, McCree…really anything heavily aim dependent would be OP and cheating. I can even imagine because with the sticks, unless a console player’s sensitivity is really high, a Tracer could quickly take out a Bastion just by being able to turn more quickly than sticks.
The issue isnt that hard to fix tbh in a way
If they add PC - Console crossplay you can just ship the console players with keyboard and mouse to PC servers and boom fixed
What do we do about the console specific balance is the question, personally, id say use Pc balance when both are together because the game is blaitantly designed for it
Id also make for better queue times if we had BOTH pc and console (toggleable) in one queue maybe
When automated punishments were silences, not full-blown game bans.
handing out armor packs as Torb
Mass Rez
satellite Lucio
Old sentry mode
when seeing an enemy Genji was rare
Hanzo being a free kill with scattur on CD
That would be the easy fix, but Sony and Cross Play is a mess. Shawn Layden is going to ruin Sony. He is what Don Matrick was to Xbox: A suit. Cross Play is a no go for no good reason, and Japanese developers are getting extremely annoyed at Playstation in the west because they are being Super PC and cracking down on sexuality. Don’t show a Nipple on Sony’s platform. It may scar the children. BUT HEY KIDS, WATCH SCORPION BRUTALLY KILL THIS WOMAN IN MORTAL KOMBAT 11.
So glad these are gone
F to og mercy that didnt suck
Torbjorn’s Level 3 Turret when he pulls Ult.
Symmetra 6 Turrets ‘Car Wash’. At least with 6 turrets one could protect say Hanamura’s 2 entrances with 3 on the right (for Pharah, Genji, Hanzo) and the main entrance from everyone else.
Mercy’s Tempo Rez or 1-3 Heroes. Having only ever getting 4 original “Huge Rez” of 4-5 people (one 5 man a Tracer threw in a Pulse Bomb and got a 6 person team kill), the 1-3 Tempo Rez was way more useful than being a sitting duck for 1.75 seconds for 1 person.
Tracer’s Pulse Bomb that actually had some damage to it.
Sym they completely removed her
I liked sym 2.0 the most but I would rather have sym 1.0 than the current one
