Is there a way to perhaps try out any skin in the game without paying for them? Essentially, what I'm looking for is a way to preview a skin without purchasing them, as coins are hard to come by and I'd like to be content with a skin before buying it.
Is there a way to preview the skins?
The information on the Gamepedia is very lacking regarding the Ultimate Meter:
Ultimate abilities are powerful abilities only available to a hero
once their Ultimate Meter has filled. Progress towards an Ultimate
persists through death. The Ultimate Meter fills by killing/dealing
damage...
I personally find Lucios heal is only helpful as a way to help out Mercy's heal
aka make healing a bit easier on her
and so folks are topped off a bit more
If you did the math he probably has a higher HPS than mercy if everyone is near him, but personally I find MERcy does a good enough job of keeping hte group topped off.
and if your group isn't all bunched up mercy can shift fly about. Plus she can boost damage.
also she can rez the whole team
@StrixVaria Zenyatta is fragile, but he can dish out some wicked damage with his alt fire
Some friends and I were playing against a group with a really good Zenyatta and he was wrecking us with it
The moral of the story is being a good healer is harder than people think
and almost no one will ever appreciate how good of a healer you are, because everyone thinks it's easy, and wants to blame someone else for their failures
Actually in all my days o f healing I almost never get any BM for my healing, even when it's a team wipe.
Nice to have not encountered any of those horror stories healers have shared
If that is optimal, then there needs to be some balance patch to address it.
I'm not saying the current state of the game is literally perfect. But anti-fun comps and whatever should be addressed with balance patches and not with team comp restrictions.
because if the game is properly balanced, then what would happen in the 6 same then 6 counter situation is that the 6 same character team would get fucking rekt, and they'd change up
In ranked, competitive play, competitive integrity is the most important thing, and not having a restriction that simply removes strategies is a simple idea.
Like I said, if you want a restriction like that, it should be in casual game modes.
Once a game has to start imposing restrictions like that to make it competitively viable, then it's not worth being a competitive game in the first place.
It really is a good read, and I only posted it because it was relevant to the conversation and I remembered about it, not specifically because of something either of us were saying.
> Some games don't hold up to high-level play. That's sloppy design in my opinion. A solid game holds up to experts playing it as hard as they can against each other. That way, the game can be fun for beginners and experts.
That's the key thing right there
if 6 ofbastion vs 6 soldier is all competitive play becoime then the game is just poorly made and balanced
> Only in the most extreme, rare cases should something be banned because it is “too good.” This will be the most common type of ban requested by players, and almost all of their requests will be foolish. Banning a tactic simply because it is “the best” isn’t even warranted. That only reduces the game to all the “second best” tactics, which isn’t necessarily any better of a game than the original game. In fact, it’s often worse!
but when you need to create a bunch of restrictions for a game to even be competitive, and that results in people always going with the exact same team comp, it just doesn't create a fun meta game at all
and shows the game isn't being played in a way it wasn't meant to. And hey, if folks have fun with that all power to them. but personally doesn't sound fun to play or watch to me at all.
Because what I Actually said was that when players need to introduce a bunch of restrictions to make a game competitive, then that game wasn't designed to be competitive.
And, quite frankly, I dropped that subject. I stopped addressing you once you asked us to stop @twobugs, and only started talking to you about the issue again when you brought it up back up here
If I was addressing you. I'd ping you. I was simply discussing the idea of game balance.
And, quite frankly, if the idea of us just discussing game balance frustrtes you then leave
It's not our responsibility to stop discussing a perfectly reasonable and interesting topic because it frustrates you. I get how if we were dogpiling you it would be frusrating, which is why I stopped addressing you all together.
If you didn't want to listen to us discuss the topic at all you should have left
Sometimes when we start losing a game I say on Discord "What do we need to change?" and I hope people don't think that's me randomly bitching and saying they suck. Sometimes it's clear to me what we need to counter the other team, but other times I'm legitimately asking because I know we need to switch but it's not clear to me how (usually because it's going to require more than one person switching)
A lot of times I think the problem is we end up in the death congo line
Mostly when we're half PUG
To break a solid defense, you really need a full group, and that's hard
A lot of times it's clear we need a Reinhardt because they have like 2 bastions and a turret or something, but even someone going Reinhardt won't help because the rest of the team is like a widow, a genji, a mercy, a pharah, etc... people who wouldn't be behind the shield anyway
(well, maybe mercy, but not effectively there)
I've been wondering what the best characters are to follow behind reinhardt on offense.
S76 is great for it. Junkrat seems okay
Bastion obviously if you can ride the payload, though that's situational
Worst Reinhardts are the ones who back up and suddenly you're not behind the shield anymore :(
I get soooo many kills as Bastion just aiming at someone behind Reinhardt's shield and waiting for him to move it or back up so I can hit them
