Overwatch |OT2-2-2| Role With It

It'll allow him to engage and bail out (with fade) almost without risk - but hey, so can a Mei or Tracer or Genji or Winston or D.Va. And Winston aside, they can all deal decent damage beyond 5 meters. Maybe up the CD to 12, put Reaping back at 20 or 30%.
What I think of is those flanking midrange duels V a Reaper would become a lot more tense - wondering if he's got this super scary engage CD up.
Right now when a Reaper is coming in to ult, it's as obvious as a high ground McCree or aggro Rein - sleep, matrix, headshot.
Imagine the tension of a moment when you see a Reaper trudging toward your team and then poof! Who's he going to be standing in front of in 1.5 seconds? Where do I need to put this crosshair?
Damn dude I didn't know you were still alive
I'm on PC now if you wanna add me
This might've worked with old Reaper (+ his new weapon spread), where he still consumed souls. That would make him the ultimate all-in character. Now it'd be too OP. Reaper's balance comes from the risk and strategic positioning to get in close, and this would remove that.
I thought it was more how he's got the effective range of a Winston and Shadow Step is a useless Kill Me button.
Reaper is almost Bastionesque. If half his team (a speeding Lucio, a pocket Ana, a peeling D.Va) aren't working to support everything he does, he's eff'd. He can't peel you off an ally from 30 yards like a McCree can...
...but he could with a fix to Shadow Step...
I feel that Reaper couldn't do his old job, tankbusting, well at all so they buffed that. I would hesitate to give him an assassin role.
How ya boy gonna' bust tanks when half of them have capital-M mobility? Rein, Orisa, Zarya? Yeah sure. Easy.
Winston / D.Va / Ham? If they let you.
Capitalize on and punish mistakes. 5/6 seconds is enough time to kill those tanks if they burn their cool downs poorly. And if they escape, you've prevented them from doing their job of creating space
Yeah this went about as well as expected.
Hey, at least you had 2 healers and a tank. Could have been a lot worse.
lol, true. But those games are rare when everyone locks in dps but you end up winning.
like this game I had. Our 4 dps, 1 tank, 1 support beat their 2-2-2 comp.
Haha. Did you really think I was dead?
Glad you finally ascended! My bnet is UltimaPooh#1193.
Nah, I just hadn't heard from you in a while and didn't know how to reach you.
Had a pretty interesting game last night. Started out with a 1-1-4 setup and we managed to win the first capture by sheer luck. For the second game the tank decided to go DPS. We lost. Third game was about to go the same but then all the DPS changed to tanks so we had 5 tanks and me as Brig. We took the point and they never managed to break through. Kind of fun to see the 2-2-2 totally fail against it.
(And I managed to get a 16 kill streak as Brig. With 35 kills in total.)

Made up for last night and then some. Went up 200 with Hog/Orisa/Zen to 2350.
Should be up to 2375 but a random asshole yelled about our Lucio - who was in a 3 stack, wasn't in chat, and as far as I can tell didn't do anything wrong - and quit 1 minute into an Ilios match that was at like 15% to 0

Found a working PS4 code in my steelbook that I got on launch day for the Noire Widowmaker skin! Seems to still be able to redeem!
Gonna try and sell it so that I can get the PC version of the Noire skin. A site has them on sale for 65 dollars. Or just get really lucky and find someone who wants to trade!

I genuinely don't know why they don't just give Shadow Step a health recovery option like Mei instead of giving him this ridiculous life steal passive. It's so stupid.
Well since I switched from PS4 to my laptop I'm a little miffed that I can't use any of my exclusive skins like Noire, Pink Mercy, Atlantic/Pacific Genji and Tracer etc cause they're all on my PS4. So yeah I really want at least the Noire skin!
That's strange. Noire makes sense as a preorder, but I was fairly certain the others were account wide unlocks. I had Officer D.Va and Oni Genji unlocked already, for example.
Those two are account wide unlocks. The others aren't unfortunately.
5 matches in a row where not a single person grouped up at any point, and it was constantly 4 1v6 battles, then me trying to stick with at least another person.
No combo'd ults. Most wasted in said 1v6 encounters.
Sometimes this game is a complete dumpster fire.

I haven't played Overwatch for something like a year and I'm kind of getting back into it. Where the hell do all these Widows come from on console? Widow used to be impossible to play unless you were on mouse and keyboard. Yet there is a pretty sick Widow in every game now. Did people get good? Did they buff her auto aim? Or is everyone playing with a mouse?
Think I just won my first round of Mystery Heroes out of like the last two or three weeks I played. I have fun longer if I switch between modes rather than play just one repeatedly so I've been flipflopping between them to get my loot and this week get the placements done for Comp CTF, and good god I don't think I've had a worse streak of "The opposing team got a Mercy, Bastion and three tanks, there's nothing you can do now.". Used to love this mode but either I've changed or I got consistently unlucky but it has not been fun lately.
Just a drive by post to say I wish more people said good grief haha. It's such an awesome saying.
Widow got good because of the change in aiming on console. Sure, you'll get the occasional asshole mouse Widow, but she's really viable now on controller.
I can't remember what the setting is called because the add a new one every other week pretty much, but you want Aim Assist Legacy to off.
They fixed how auto aim works and now you can change a setting that chooses between smoother transitions or faster ones for aim ease in i think, basically, aim assist works now
Moira is definitely solid, and I love playing her, but she's in no way a win button. For example, D.Va can absorb her orbs with her defense matrix, so that just completely shuts down that ability.
Oh wow. Interesting. Is this something I should look into or is this purely something for Widow players? I used to be pretty good with McCree and now I'm doing okay with Ashe as well. Might be interesting if there is a setting I could change to improve aiming.
Yeah I'm purely talking about mystery heroes when you have no control over composition. It's what i spend probably 90% of my time playing
I'm sure it's just me but I find it really difficult to make any kind of decent contribution with wrecking ball, he's the one character I dread being given
Again, I can't remember exactly, but I think aim assist ease in should be close to 0 for projectile heroes, and close to 100 for hitscan.
He's a fairly technical hero: it'd be worth spending time in training to get his movement down. If I'm going to keep it basic, his general gameplan involves using his movement (the grapple hook can get you through some crazy shortcuts: if you know the night market map in Lijang Tower, he can swing outside the map outside of down spawn, and land on the point) to get around the map and flank enemies. You want to swing above them, slam down, then shoot them while they're in the air. You're basically a disruptor: you can just come swinging out from stupid angles, land in their back line, and escape. Don't go engaging by yourself, but if the rest of your team is firing on a Rein shield for example, don't be afraid of swinging behind them to fluster them.
If all else fails though, just grapple to the objective and spin around in circles.
Helps all heroes, it improves massively hitscan heroes as it's more consistent than before, iirc the setting is a sloder that goes from 0 to 1 and one side favors projectile and the other hitscan, but since i play lots of different heroes i keep mine at default(0.5)
Yeah, aim assist is on by default, as it is for usually every online shooter on console. Note that aim assist in this sense is more to do with slowing down the crosshair when it passes over a target, not like Red Dead where your aim snaps to target closest to the centre of the screen when you ADS.
Holy moly some rough games yesterday. Hard to keep positive through all the negativity sometimes.
I'd leave it on, personally, just drop aim assist easing down to/close to 0 for projectile heroes.
What does "aim assist legacy" do?
