Overwatch

S76 ult really isn't that strong typically. 5s of auto-aim with no headshots. Great for taking out the scrubs but if there are tanks or reinhardt or cover or anything you often end up with no kils

Wipqozn

McCree can wreck bastion if he gets close

and junkrat should be able to safely grenade any room with him in it

Genji works too of course, but if the bastion is smart he'll stop firing. AlthoughI suppose you could exploit that by sending in a genji with a damage dealer behind hi,.

Unionhawk

@KevinvanderVelden I am aware

Sterno

oh, 6s I guess

Unionhawk

2:05 PM

I am also not doing Exact Math

Kevin van der Velden

@Sterno and/or that black hole play

Sterno

@Wipqozn Can Genji attack while deflecting?

Kevin van der Velden

It also decreases the reload time to like half a second

Unionhawk

We're any of you guys there when I think @Fluttershy on a zarya fed a Hanzo a double ult wombo combo?

Sterno

I stop firing when a genji deflects but they still usually wreck me as Bastion

Unionhawk

2:06 PM

Black hole plus dragon equals profit

Sterno

@Unionhawk I saw @StrixVaria and some PUG do that yesterday

Wipqozn

@Sterno No.

Sterno

I think it was POTG

Unionhawk

@Sterno oh maybe it was strix

It probably was

Sterno

My new favorite thing to do in Overwatch is finish Genji off with a melee attack as S76. I'LL SHOW YOU HOW TO NINJA

Unionhawk

2:08 PM

You're all the same person except @KevinvanderVelden

Wipqozn

@Sterno Really? Interesting. Genji can still be good sicne he can attack you from behind, but in a tight spac that doesn't work really.

Unionhawk

Who is @Arperum

Kevin van der Velden

Clearly

Also @Jochem

Sterno

@Wipqozn Often it's something like they start at long range by hitting me with ninja stars, dash forward, deflect, I take a little damage because it's hard to instantly stop firing, then I sit and wait to refire and usually they get their next attack off because I don't have the timing for when deflect is over down perfect. And then if they're running around me at melee range at that point there's a fair shot they melee me before I get them

This also assumes 1v1. If not, they get wrecked

@Unionhawk We're all @KevinvanderVelden now.

I feel like I'd really like Reaper if I could ever kill anything as him.

Kevin van der Velden

I've barely played him

Sterno

2:13 PM

I need to start switching to him from S76 when the other team is tank-heavy

It's hard to play a class you know you're going to suck at though. I mean, it's the only way to get better, but it's also kind of like accepting defeat for the match

Kevin van der Velden

Yeah, more people should do what @Strix is doing

Unionhawk

I want to play Zenyatta more

Maybe on defense with a torbjorn... Ooo

Sterno

@KevinvanderVelden If we all did that at once, we'd lose a LOT of matches

Kevin van der Velden

Yeaaah

Sterno

I suspect this is also partly why it sometimes seems like matchmaking is bad (to @twobugs anyway... I don't think it has been too bad for me). Not only is there not a ton of data yet, but people might be awesome with one class and then try out another one and suck. No matchmaking algorithm can fix that.

Kevin van der Velden

2:27 PM

True

Sterno

I played a whole map as Widowmaker and had 2 kills. It was the worst

Kevin van der Velden

Heh

Sterno

2:43 PM

Also of note, the kid was being dragged around in water.

Kevin van der Velden

Wrong chat?

Unionhawk

Yes

Kevin van der Velden

Room owners can delete messages right?

Sterno

IT MUST BE DELETED OR THE SANCTITY OR THIS ROOM WILL BE RUINED

And also, no, they can't.

Kevin van der Velden

@Sterno more like if not we should wait a few minutes so it'll be FOREVER AND EVER IN THE HISTORY OF PEOPLE BEING WRONG

Wipqozn

2:53 PM

@Sterno yeah, most likely

@Sterno He's really good against tanks

His shotguns eat tanks alive

Sterno

@Wipqozn For me it's like "HEy, lemme kill this roadhog! BLAM BLAM BL.. <hooked, dead> Fuck"

Wipqozn

@Sterno I hate roadhogs hook so much

StrixVaria

@Sterno That was nuts.

I think it was 5 trapped/murdered.

Sterno

@StrixVaria The funny part was I had my Junkrat ult ready and popped it but when the tire got there everyone was already dead

StrixVaria

@Sterno I didn't even know that.

Sterno

2:59 PM

Also, yesterday I learned Symmetra turrets are excellent Junkrat ult counters

Kevin van der Velden

Ooh yeah

Wipqozn

@Sterno didn't eve n think, about that

those turrets do really good damage when you stack'em

Kevin van der Velden

And the slow as well

Plus their weakness is that they can be killed easily, but you don't wanna blow your tire early

StrixVaria

Soldier 76 is so fun.

Kevin van der Velden

He is

I thought I would hate him but he's fun

Wipqozn

3:09 PM

@StrixVaria oh right you have the day off

StrixVaria

@Wipqozn I'm off tomorrow too.

Wipqozn

@StrixVaria Nice.

StrixVaria

Hoping to finish the last 6 characters before I go back to work Wednesday, but that will be cutting it close.

Sterno

3:22 PM

@StrixVaria So what are you favorites?

Q: What does d.va say in korean when respawning?

One of the lines d.va says after she respawns is in korean. Does anybody know what it is and to what it translates in english?

overwatch

Wipqozn

@Sterno I'm curious about this as well

StrixVaria

So far Junkrat.

Wipqozn

Junkrat is fun

I have an Elite skin for him actually

nifty too

StrixVaria

4:23 PM

Zarya is pretty great too.

Unionhawk

4:39 PM

Zarya is awesome

I also need to get good at her

Wipqozn

Yeah I want to use her more too

I've been focusing on Winston as my tank

but zarya is fun too, just wanted to get good at winston first

Unionhawk

I love Reinhardt and Roadhog as tanks and bruisers

Roadhog is great if we have lots of distuptors and a central shield doesn't make sense

Plus he and @Sterno have the same voice

How Overwatch picks Play of the Game

Sterno

5:02 PM

I thought that link was just going to be the character lineup with Bastion having a big red circle around him

Unionhawk

I've seen some great mercy plays, triple res on the point at the last minute is usually what it is though

Kevin van der Velden

Lol, the main menu all chat "How many are in this chat?", "2", "3", etc

Suddenly party invite from those people =p

Q: What is the indicator / progress bar at the bottom of your portrait?

There's something resembling a progress bar at the bottom of your portrait and health in overwatch while in-game What is it? What makes it increase? And what happens when you reach the maximum or that threshold that seems to be indicated by a small triangle?

overwatch

Wipqozn

5:29 PM

@Unionhawk I really hate how people complain about Torbjörn play of the game.

Like yeah his turret got the kills, but that's the class, and good turret placement is important

Sterno

They're boring to watch sometimes, but hilarious, so that makes up for it

I wish it would use a turret kill cam instead

Or splitscreen!

Wipqozn

@Sterno That would be a good idea

If he gets POTG, determine if it should show it from turret pov or torbs, or maybe even switch back and forth

> So a lot of support actions do come into it, we've added some stuff recently, such as determining how hard a shot was to hit based on how fast the target was moving, how far away the target was moving

That's good to hear, also cool

Sterno

your mom is cool

wait. Damn it

Wipqozn

5:48 PM

@Sterno Thanks

I'll let her know you said that

Q: Should I actively fight as Torbjörn as far as damage output is concerned?

I find that setting up a turret near a wall and mostly repairing it while hiding from enemies is a viable (while extremely cheesy) tactic. However, should I try to support my turret with my rivet gun to get more damage or is it most efficient to keep my turret up at all times to maximize it's sin...

overwatch

Sterno

@Athena Yes </answer>

Kevin van der Velden

When fighting against a team with a bastion. Do not go 5 winstons

That was great

(I was the bastion)

Also, definitive proof that Hanzo is the easiest character to play.

(But not really the easiest.)

Also, I need to play more Mei so she shows up on my page.

Q: How to improve my game in Overwatch?

I'm a fair player in FPS games, but I would like to get really good. Any tips on how to improve my game in Overwatch? Get more kills? Thks, = )

Q: Do multiple healing effects stack?

If a player is receiving two instances of the same healing effect, like Lucio's aura, Mercy's beam, Soldier: 76's zone, or Zenyatta's orb, do they stack? What if a team had six Lucios standing in a point? Would they all be getting 6x healing?

@Wipqozn For as much Genji as youv'e played, I would have expected more melee final blows

Maybe skill-based melee final blows don't count (like your dash, ult, etc)

Wipqozn

@Sterno They must not

I'm also really bad

I have such terrible aim
