Some people claim that the push bot hits max speed at 1 person. Did they actually test that? Clearly not.

You can finish this push map 18 seconds faster with 3 or more people pushing the Push Bot.

I made precise measurements in a video editor and going from just the first point to the finish dropped from 59.236 seconds down to 49.364 seconds.

59.236 / 49.364 = 1.19998379

The robot runs 20% faster with 3 or more people pushing it. That's less than the 33% faster for payload but a 20% speed boost is not insignificant.

Usually, if there are no supports nearby, the hero says, “No supports nearby,” or if you're playing as a support yourself, something like, “I'm the only support.”

But if your team has Soldier 76, your hero will ask for healing because he has the Biotic Field.

Just an interesting, well-thought detail.

It gets awkward when someone asks you for healing, but you just stick the syringe in yourself. Because you choose the syringe perk 90% of the time.

We are some changes you think we’d realistically see?

I think we might see a slight nerf to the DPS passive, reducing the healing mitigation from -30% to -25%.

I can see Doctrine receiving a nerf to his primary fire damage and Illari’s Primary Fire rate increased to compensate for the smaller hitbox sizes on hitscan weapons. Possibly a micro buff to both Lifeweaver and Wuyang.

Kakegurui mashou!!! 🎲

I'm surprised no one's done a Domina version of this meme yet, so I figured I'd give it a shot! Here's my take on it!

There's a constant stream of posts about how <insert hero here> is broken/lobby admin/zero skill, and to that I say; just play them then.

It'll be win/win for you, since one or more of the following will happen:

• You learn their timing and preferred positioning, making them easier to counter.
• You discover that you're right, they ARE easy, and you rank up quickly. Feels good!
• You discover they're actually difficult to play, so stop making stupid whiny posts about them.

I’ve started using her more now she’s a healer. I didn’t play her that much before I’m not sure what long term Sombra players feel about the change

This has been every match I’ve played this week. Mind you, I am gold 1 (now gold 2 because we got bent over the table this match) and I solo queue.

The fact that this is even possible is questionable enough but when it’s literally every single match and somehow the bronze is on my team every time (not really relevant but still aggravating) like.. what am I supposed to do with this?

I went 24-9 with 18k damage in an 11 minute match and it still didn’t matter because our bronze tank kept trying to 1v6 the enemy.

Like I get I’m not the best player ever and I’m okay with that but I would love a balanced match for once. Because I took a break because the matchmaking was putting me in high elo lobbies, came back and the problem is worse than it was when I took a one month break.

Stomp or be stomped, and I’d be fine if it was once in a blue moon but the fact I get these wide ranges every single match for weeks as a solo queue player is actually messed up.

Anyone else getting stuck in hell hole rank range matches like this consistently?

Ye siblings cinema trip? Post Talon downtime? Not sure what to caption it; I'm an artist, not a writer, lol. ^{(Suggestions welcome})

A little backstory, if you're interested: this started as just an Anran fan art since she's my main, but I kept visualising Wuyang there, and it played on my mind til I caved and drew him too, which was quite enjoyable in the end.

^{As always, no AI was used whatsoever; I used my brain instead. Also, whether or not this site thinks it can opt anything it wants into being scraped for training data, the fact is I do not give consent to this, or any of my art, being used for AI training.}

I hate how the "it's just qp" argument is used to justify ruining the match for others

When you're at a point in a match where you need to change tactics but you need something the average player doesn't know how to deal with, what do you pick? who's your "knowledge check" character?

In my case I've noticed that the average player has a lot of trouble with a decently played winston, especially if you swap from something like Rammatra or Domina.

Which character do you use and how to disrupt the flow and advancement of the other team because they just don't know how to deal with it?

For me it's Venture. Like holy fuck is playing as them kinda like putting a cactus up my ass. I'm either popping off or I'm the backline tickle monster, especially since their gun only does about... 80 dmg per shot. Which it takes 3 hits to kill a squishy, or 4 for an average hp

And if not a buff, then a slight rework/new ability

You see your team getting shredded with one tank/support, yet you stay on dps knowing not enough damage can be tanked or healed. All 3/4 of you sit there , waiting for each other to switch. Why?

You know you can still do damage as a tank and support, whilst helping the team more. Then why do you not switch 😭

I think first I saw this was maybe season two this year. Thought it was gonna be something like happened in season one at the start of the year - some bundles with a mix of OW"1" and OW"2" skins or something, but I am yet to see any of it in the "just for you". It's like this was supposed to be a thing, but then no one cared enough.

Let's start with the obvious disclaimer. The role is support, not healing. The purpose of the game is to capture the objective, how you do it doesn't make a difference as long as it's done.

There are a lot of reasons why there is a "heal" diff that people don't recognize.

One big one is the OTHER TEAM HAS AN ANA. Her whole utility is decreasing the healing of the other team.

The other big one is the other team has burst damage heroes. Widowmaker, Junkrat, Roadhog. As much as I'd love to, I can't heal a sniper bullet between your eyes.

A third one is both of your DPS and perhaps your tank are flankers and pick up med kits along the way. There won't be much healing if Genji is taking care of himself.

Fourth is there are a lot of self-healers on the team. A team that consists of Roadhog, Soldier 76, and Mei is going to have a LOT less healing.

So before you say heal diff, did either team meet any of these qualifications?

Are there any others you can think of?

I went back and watched a King's Row replay because I was convinced our Ana had completely ignored me.

From my POV, I was half HP near hotel, asking for healing, and got finished off by a D.Va. It genuinely looked like one heal would've saved me.

Then I watched Ana's POV.

She'd lost line of sight the moment I went around the corner. Meanwhile, a Tracer had been harassing her for basically the entire fight. She was trying to stay alive, landed a sleep dart, and was actually doing a pretty decent job considering what was happening.

I had absolutely no idea. To me, she'd just been standing somewhere behind me doing nothing.

And it made me think about how much information we're missing when we die.

The killcam is great at showing how an enemy killed you. But it doesn't explain what was happening to the rest of your team.

Imagine if, during the respawn timer, you could rewind the last five seconds from a nearby teammate's perspective. Not just supports either. Sometimes I'd love to know why my tank suddenly backed off, or what our other DPS was fighting while I thought I was taking a 1v1.

I know the replay viewer already exists. I'm talking about something you could check in those few seconds before respawning, without leaving the match.

Honestly, I suspect I'd discover that a lot of my "where the hell was my team?" deaths were actually "oh, that's where my team was" deaths.

Would you use something like this, or would it just give people another reason to blame their teammates?

Just because there are other heroes doesn't mean u should play them, Reaper may not be the best rn but he is objectively the greatest character in all of Overwatch. Hot take but idc Reaper is leagues better than anyone imaginable in this game. I have been playing him since 2017 and I will never consider anybody else. He is the most attractive, the most evil, the most smexy, the most appetizing, the most deathly, the most greatly, the most perfect character ever and I am genuinely curious as to why people will choose a weeb, or a dva, or a brit, or a sigma, or a junker, or an omnic, or a symm, or a fire, or a fox, or a white savior (mercy), or a cowboy, or a sniper, or a cat, or a monkey, or a hamster, or the rest of the roster that can all go die die die?

Whoever you pick a good Reaper 1v1s them easily. The only thing I could guess as to why more ppl don't play Reaper is that his boots are loud af. Even crouching you can hear him in a crowd. But argubly that is a skill diff, you should anticipate being shot at and killed bc Reaper is that guy. Nobody wants him to get close to them bc he will gobble ur soul. The only other pick I would choose that I enjoy seeing is Soldier 76 bc they have a bromance and its cute that Reaper is his yandere and that he can find love after separating from his wife.

I rest my case. They should remove all other characters and make Reaper the only character.

Don't get me wrong, I love D.mon but she's basically a mash-up of D.va and Reinhardt. With Mastermind just look a his mech. There was the potential for us to get a really cool and unique hero

When the silhouette was first changed, he held one of his arms up but we couldn't know if he was holding something because it was blocked by domina. Still, it kind of looked like the bottom of a pistol grip bellow his hand. We know it's not the umbrella because he was clearly holding it in the other hand (and we would've clearly seen more of it). I'd also find it weird if he was holding his arm up without holding anything just to aura farming.

Now that the final art is revealed for him, it's now even harder to tell since his hand is completely covered by shion's gun and coat. However, the arm seems to be slightly pointed outward to where it would look kind of odd if he wasn't holding something.

We'll find out when he's first shown but I just wanted to discuss it. Personally, I hope he still has a pistol because it would be pretty cool and funny for him to use both a glock and an umbrella.

Tracer defeated Scout from TF2!
