balmy wolf
I'm questioning the logic of the Hanzo buffs too
since inherently he is much more frustrating to play against
at least with Widow you know that you fucked up and it is a hitscan weapon
pure kettle
i havent handled him since those changes
digital pond
Well they aren't live yet no?
balmy wolf
meanwhile with Hanzo you can just get shot by a noob who spam shots through the corridor
pure kettle
i can imagine getting scattershot as a hanzo climbed up to get to u
digital pond
Or did the patch go live earlier today?
solid spear
probably will be today
pure kettle
would piss me right the fk off
digital pond
Ight I didn't miss it then. I ahven't touched the PTR in forever.
balmy wolf
Scatter Arrow is balanced - Blizzard
it is supposedly for killing enemies through corner
but people broke it into guarantee one hit kill every 12 seconds instead
toxic yacht
I feel like the only reason why people are fine with scatter is because hanzo is so... yeah at everything else
toxic yacht
imo they should redesign how scatter moves to make it for killing around walls
I remember seeing a pretty good suggestion
rapid oxide
you are using your logic too much sojum
toxic yacht
but I forgot how exactly it changed the trajectory
rapid oxide
you will never get hired by blizz if you use logic
balmy wolf
Hanzo is weirdly high cap, but at the same time, abusable
by lower skilled players
It isnt even supposed to be only for killing people around corner
balmy wolf
There's literally a tooltip that says "aim at the feet"
solid spear
I mean thats what Ive been saying this whole time Sojum bb....Hanzo is bad enough around the board that Im just like yeah whatever scatter
toxic yacht
polo is the hanjo mein, he'd know
balmy wolf
I mean you only need to hit what, 30 percent of your arrows and you'd be good?
pure kettle
i think the game is telling me something
rapid oxide
S U C C
balmy wolf
You need to hit 3/6 of the scattered arrows to kill a 200hp target
turbid shard
toxic yacht
balmy wolf
I actually want to see what it would be like to revert the change they made to scatter in beta
toxic yacht
what did they change?
balmy wolf
oh you mean "let me spam chokes and get a bullshit kill" arrows?
Making it have a random spread again
toxic yacht
it used to be random?
balmy wolf
That might help the insta feet kills
balmy wolf
and make it better for killing around corners
Yeah they changed it in like beta wave 3 or something?
to have the same fixed spread
everytime
toxic yacht
I don't know, I dislike randomness in muh competitive games, but that'd definitely work around the free kill issue I have with it
balmy wolf
It is not like Blizzard is known for reverting changes or anything
oh wait.
@toxic yacht Blizzard games always have that frustrating RNG elements so we have to kind of deal with it as players I guess
toxic yacht
OW is my first Blizz game, so I wouldn't know
balmy wolf
I feel like it being random instead of a fixed spread would help with it being an instakill at the feet and would also help turning it more down the "kill enemies you can't see" route
balmy wolf
Or they could make it bounce more times at full charge
so higher chance to hit someone in a corridor
or room
last revert change that Blizzard did with OW was the projectile hitbox size
and that was nearly a year ago
Probably closer to like 6-8 months
but go on
balmy wolf
that was when Hanzo was shooting tree trunks again
that must have been like at least 6 patches cycle
toxic yacht
oh yeah, there was an overall hitbox nerf
then they reverted his hitbox size
then they made it smaller
digital pond
I remember playing on Numbani and taking the stairs on the elft with my team as Rein. And my allies watched a solo Hanzo walk tome and scatter my feet and one shot me.
Now THAT was tilting.
toxic yacht
but anyway, complaints about hanjo or not, I wouldn't mind it if his pickrate went up by 3-4%
balmy wolf
I love playing vs reins that just shield and walk back as hanzo
toxic yacht
he's stupid fun to spectate
balmy wolf
ez scatter
digital pond
Nah Polo thing is
I had a hog behind me
The hanzo was walking in the tunnel while aiming at such a slow pace.
He just watched him
balmy wolf
fucking lul
The projectile hitbox nerf was at July, and it took them 2 months to revert it, and then reduce the Hanzo arrow by itself by 33%
π€
at least we aren't dealing with tree trunk arrow Hanzo
Okay, I was just saying it wasnt almost a year ago
toxic yacht
faster projectiles with more bearable hitboxes are better anyway
balmy wolf
this round of buffs won't change Hanzo much, but QP Hanzo enthusiasts will probably salivating at this
toxic yacht
am qp hanzo enthusiast, can confirm
balmy wolf
I do want at least 76 to get a reduced spread though, along with his reduced damage.
toxic yacht
I know that taimou was pretty excited about the changes and finds them very significant
digital pond
Skilltages.
digital pond
The music ugh.
balmy wolf
inb4 people start using pick comp again and somehow this is a "new discovery"
toxic yacht
mfw I see a pharah with a "Ta" on his name
and hope that it's talespin
but it's fucking taimou
digital pond
I mean I expect to see Tspinna in contender league with the ex-fnatic people he said he's playing with.
toxic yacht
holy shit
that effect transistion
I GET THE REFERENCE
for the uninitiated who don't get why the effect transition is so significant,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vz3rcJrpiFM
balmy wolf
such a good montage
toxic yacht
well, tbh the only part where effect really hardcarried was in hollywood
balmy wolf
need more data on him, basically.
toxic yacht
the rest was more of a team effort with effect consistently performing very well
balmy wolf
too bad though Lui is now benchwarming nV
toxic yacht
like, effect was very good throughout the match
including the maps that they lost
and yeah, rip lui
digital pond
@toxic yacht This is one of the funniest thing imo https://youtu.be/K7Cwyi7LuTw?t=1m55s
toxic yacht
apparently effect got to rank 2 with his genji smurf
digital pond
At 1:55
toxic yacht
so rip Lui genji and rip lui even more
balmy wolf
Is that Necros 
toxic yacht
I hope that he's a good benchwarmer
balmy wolf
ez money bois
digital pond
Making that money TSM style 
balmy wolf
Lui probably will get the Hulk treatment after APEX
why bother with a 7th man when you got EFFECT
compare to EFFECT Lui isn't going to bring anything significant on the table.
rapid oxide

balmy wolf
less montages, tbh

Lui video editing 
balmy wolf
We need more
toxic yacht
I mean, I still like dummy's montages
sure, they don't represent his actual moment to moment gameplay
but they're fun to watch
balmy wolf
as ZP pointed out though
it is basically moments where dumb decisionmaking
somehow panned out
digital pond
My favorite part of his montages was guessing which time he died post sleep dart.
supple nymph
do you think Team Seagull will beat NRG in Contenders?
balmy wolf
"As an online OW discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving NRG approaches 1"
balmy wolf
oh fuck
digital pond
Also another unlisted video link lmao
toxic yacht
you know
I love how the EFFECT montage has a massive missplay
there is a graviton
and he stickies cree instead of going for the big bang
rapid oxide
RIP my wallet

And then kills everyone lol
toxic yacht
no

New Controller option: Force Keyboard/Mouse User Interface
Developer Comments: When PC players switch from using the Keyboard/Mouse to a game controller, the gameβs user interface is dynamically updated to the console/controller version. Additionally, the button layout on many heroes (like Hanzo, Zenyatta, and Mercy) is different on console. In the past, when a player chose to play using a controller and a mouse, the UI would constantly switch, depending on which device was sending information to the game. This new option allows players to set a default user interface if they choose to use a controller along with a keyboard/mouse.
Question: who play using controller on PC?
supple nymph
?
toxic yacht
soldier nerfs are through
digital pond
Super has a controller only account in GM
balmy wolf
McCree

balmy wolf
he plays Tank though....

Reaper haven't had a legendary skin since forever too, btw
You got your halloween one
and the sick christmas one
that was last year
the Christmas one wasn't even a legendary
it was a rare.
wintry matrix
but it was cool
wintry matrix
i think he's better than some in that regard
balmy wolf
McCree only have the Blackwatch legendary so far
the amount of Tracer legendary though
5 fucking Legendaries
wintry matrix
well, she's the poster character, and qt
balmy wolf
of course, but still
wintry matrix
still, he's better than characters like Hanzo or Zarya, or Sym (who only got two purples i think)
balmy wolf
I wonder who's in charge of the skins department with these weird ass skin decisions
wintry matrix
probably who they think fits better the concept of the event
that or any arbitrary list
balmy wolf
there doesn't seems to be a unified theme this time around
wintry matrix
I mean, for the previous ones
balmy wolf
previous one was good because it actually have a consistent theme
this time around is a bit more random
wintry matrix
also probably got to do with what ideas the skin team has, like, they think of a skin first, then which character second maybe?
balmy wolf
half of the roster got futuristic cyborg skins, some other got some 1960s skin, Mei have a beekeeper skin (?) and Pharah got a Persian-style skin
wintry matrix
it was bound to be random as it is a anniversary event (except if they put stuff like lil hats and cakes)
balmy wolf
tfw somebody called the Kamen Rider skin "Power Ranger"

balmy wolf
with the upcoming OW Contenders, the rule still stated that there will be no skins
pine star
I know
toxic yacht
you mean kamen nico choking at LANs
balmy wolf
daily reminder than LAN > Online
Online is good for determining strength in any point in time
but ultimately if you cant perform in LAN you are kind of shite.
pine star
You mean if you can't*?
balmy wolf
yeah
pine star
Yeah, I agree
balmy wolf
Faze Clan and Shadowburn is so mystifying in that regards
Faze got 2nd finish at MLG Vegas
but everyone write them off because of their online performance
meanwhile as a Rogue fanboy, while it is nice to see them smurfing on NA
the way they are performing in APEX is kind of heartbreaking
ripe marlin
yeah rogue has got an uphill battle with LH
balmy wolf
Rogue was kind of able to get by because lack of strong DPS in the region
pine star

balmy wolf
it is no coincidence that the only NA team that gave them a fight was Selfless
and Selfless had 3 players that made Rogue's life hell
ripe marlin
yeah i agree but thats in my opinion likely to be the best match at apex thus far will be rogue vs lh
balmy wolf
I just want my boys Rogue to get past group stages π’
ripe marlin
and yeah its funny more teams didnt catch on to the dps thing
i mean i think lg evil did they just didnt have the firepower
balmy wolf
NA is weak in homegrown DPS.
ripe marlin
jake was about it on that end
balmy wolf
JAKE aka the discount Tviq
pine star
lol
ripe marlin
lol yeah but still very talented
im a bit of a kondoo fan so i wouldnt be as happy to see a rogue win
pine star
Jake is nowhere near as mechanically "gifted" as aKm or SoOn
balmy wolf
right now gamebreaker DPS in NA can only be counts on one hand
ripe marlin
yeah very few
i think jake can find a level same as akm but not soon not yet at least
pine star
I don't think so
ripe marlin
wish shadowburn would find some fucking help on faze tho
pine star
FaZe disbanded tho, didn't they
ripe marlin
i legit am a faze fan boy anbd i feel like if shadowburn didnt have 900 ping and some help they could be better look at lan results
shadowburn is a carry machine
balmy wolf
he hard carried Team Russia and Faze
and then his back gave out at the end
so feelsbadman
ripe marlin
it does cause he is one of the most gifted talented players in this sport thus far
pine star
You guys are in heaven in NA
ripe marlin
lol grass is always greener
pine star
SA matchmaking is the deepest bottom you can ever touch
ripe marlin
lol no doubt
balmy wolf
Asia and EU will always having a better matchmaking experience
but the language barrier muddles the water
I kind of want to go back to SEA and grind from there

I did not hit her, I did not hit her, I did not
Oh, hi Mark
FaZe actually had good online results back in the TwoEasy days before MLG
ripe marlin
i remember that two easy tourney was it zombs that was at a wedding orm something and twoeasy started filling in more
toxic yacht
Zombs was a a wedding, so they got grego and swapped roles around a bit iirc
toxic yacht
Since a bit before TwoEasy left they've been s complete mess and I really don't know if they can show up on LANs in their current state
ripe marlin
i remember they used to meet cloud 9 in omm for 3 months straight in finals and just couldnt get over that hump
actually i think they won the 3rd time
yeah they need a roster shake up i hope they dont get dropped
toxic yacht
yeah, they won the third time
IMT won the one after that iirc
then NGE and MLG Vegas happened
and then NA scene was kill
or at least very different
pine star
"Kill" seems fitting

balmy wolf
@ripe marlin IMT is a very hit and miss team
they won NGE but that was a T2 LAN
to this day i'm still convinced that NGE was cursed
pine star
Yup
balmy wolf
IMT struggles to find their team color
toxic yacht
yeah
balmy wolf
it doesn't help that Grim kind of fade into the background while Agilities been showing some Shadowburn-like carry moment
pine star
Also, Grim tilts
With both Agilities and Grim at their peak, they're a pretty scary team tbh
balmy wolf
that peak was like months ago
toxic yacht
I sometimes feel like IMT can't put resources into both dps at once
pine star
Not really, because Agilities wasnt as solid as rn
toxic yacht
like, they're both very solid DPS with very high peaks
pine star
I mean, if they both were at they're peak lol
toxic yacht
but grim is kinda inconsistent
it always feels like one of them moves into the background when one pops off
balmy wolf
the other day i suggested to some other discord that Grim is kind of shit right now and all I got was people shitting on me for saying so
"wtf grim is insane"
toxic yacht
if you take a team like say, old rogue with a strong dps duo, TviQ and aKm kept popping off at once
with IMT it's like "Grim pops off for a week"
Next week Agilities pops off
pine star
They take turns lol
toxic yacht
then one of them fades into the background and gives the other one spotlight
yeah, they keep taking turns
atm Agilities' turn has been lasting a bit long
balmy wolf
he is on Genji, which allow him to carry more
meanwhile Grim on Tracer and Soldier is a hit and miss adventure
toxic yacht
I dream of a day when both can pop off at once
balmy wolf
His hog can get clutch hook but can be feedy at time
toxic yacht
Grim is very good when he's killing shit
pine star
Grim Cree 
toxic yacht
and agilities is one of the best NA dps and probably the best NA genji atm
A man can dream
toxic yacht
well, aKm never had a weak showing
pine star
Cree legends stuck in Soldier duty
balmy wolf
eh
pine star
Yeah lol
balmy wolf
Grim Cree I think is/was overrated
he had a career defining series at NGE Final
but outside of that
pine star
That's a perfectly valid opinion
toxic yacht
I feel like he's just inconsistent. And requires a ton of space
toxic yacht
like, every time grim pops off it's either the entire team diving on him and he just kills them one by one
or it's a bit cleanuppy
balmy wolf
another thing to consider is that AKM's Cree and 76 are equally good, more so on McCree
Timo tends to explode on McCree and Widow
meanwhile Grim lagged behind on both
toxic yacht
Whenever Timo is not on hog he's kinda inconsistent imo
pine star
Yeah I was only referring to the fact that they are most known for their McCree but are just playing soldier late
Lately*
gentle shuttle
hey whatever happened to Enigma
toxic yacht
Engima is too busy not being on a team :(
balmy wolf
Timo is able to clutch the hardest out of the three though.
gentle shuttle
okis :C
balmy wolf
which make up for his inconsistency
balmy wolf
you never see Grim pulling a Widow and just outright carry the team
balmy wolf
NGE final was career defining for Grim but I wonder how much was because of Kungarna feeding
balmy wolf
they had Mykl on D.va
but never had him just DM the shit out of Grim
who just basically doing his best Duck Duck Hunt impression on the high ground
toxic yacht
kek
pine star
They still try to DPS
toxic yacht
tbh I just want him to get more consistent
pine star
I did
balmy wolf
that meta was interesting in a sense that it allow lesser DPS/off tank to fight on equal grounds vs higher skilled DPS, which is kind of anologous to how D.va mains manage to climb to GM just by abusing her
pine star
I lost a bit of my soul each soldier I killed
balmy wolf
of course it allowed people like Hafficool and Mykl to looked better than they actually are
toxic yacht
mfw I'm scared for my position
pine star
Lui FeelsBadMan
balmy wolf
Lui "i'm just benchwarming for nV"
toxic yacht
I really wanted to see Lui's entire pool and see him play more stuff more consistently
I hope that they get into a situation where swapping him in would actually make sense
pine star
Inb4 they bench Timo to run Genji+Tracer comps
balmy wolf
i'm not convinced Lui to be the answer nV was needed, because they have EFFECT
and Timo is just too good to be benchwarmning
it would be like Kaiser in Runaway
toxic yacht
I mean, Taimou runs a decent tracer
not super good
but it was decent enough for dive comps back when they had Tale
pine star
Decent is shit tier when you have GODFFECT
balmy wolf
gotta see more of him though
toxic yacht
Well, that depends on how good his genji is
balmy wolf
right now Soon is still the #1 Tracer
pine star
Lui plays a decent Genji
toxic yacht
his genji only alt is #2 in KR iirc
I know, it's matchmaking
but that probably means something
pine star
It does imo
balmy wolf
according to Alicus, ladder Genji in KR is about the same as EU Genji
toxic yacht
wot
wtf
that's insane
I mean, korean genjis are insane
so it shouldn't be that surprising
pine star
lol
balmy wolf
I remember I suggested to Alicus that he should look for ladder Genji in KR and he was like "nah, they are the same as EU ladder Genji"
or something to that effect
pine star
The amount of Genji one tricks in KR is ridiculous
balmy wolf
he tried to recruit Genjis from the orgs though, but all got turned away
toxic yacht
yes, but they're very good at that one trick
like, even average korean genjis are very good
fleta seems pretty average for korean standards, but he'd probably be considered one of the best in NA lul
well, NA is an unfair comparison since they lack genjis and projectile players for some reason
pine star
How's the best NA Genji besides Agilities?
balmy wolf
one thing to consider in term of meta and hero choices in region is that in KR, there's no such thing as "ping"
and KR they likes to be all in aggressive
pine star
NiCO Ele Giggle
balmy wolf
Nico "I got exposed hard in KR" GDH
too bad in NA only Taimou's McCree can really scared him
meanwhile in KR everyone and their moms fight a Genji like him at one point or another
toxic yacht
I hope that NiCO gets his shit together on friday
pine star
That's why Genji is not considered meta in KR rn
toxic yacht
He seemed very uncomfortable on LAN
and I don't want Rogue to get out in the group stages
spring lintel

toxic yacht
I'm changing my avatar after the game anyway, but I want to change it knowing that NiCO actually overcame his choking

Is there even a single shooter that doesnt have a scoreboard?
pine star
He's choking because of that infranatural keyboard and mouse setup

then they can play for next day
and iirc top 8 are double elims
pine star
Yeah but
What if a pro team meets early on with another pro team and one of them eliminates the other and we for some reason get some meme random amateur team in the top 16?
balmy wolf
with this format, I don't think it might happen
most of the tier 2 team will get beaten by around RO16
except maybe some unsigned teams like YIKES or Kungarna
balmy wolf
i'd rather have Kungarna somehow meet YIKES
forest raven
I mean
balmy wolf
so we have less shit tier team
forest raven
There are two days of qualifiers
So if by some chance a pro team doesn't make it through and a meme team does, they'll have day 2 to get through
balmy wolf
they could always pull a Hammers
cruised through the qualifier, only to fail at final
forest raven
Then get invited anyway because Dignitas was taken out back
balmy wolf
Team Dignitas actually didn't get invited.

I wonder why rogue and envy us didn't register their team to OWL
pine star
What?
pliant ivy
OWC I mean
pine star
Oh
balmy wolf
because they got a spot at the group stage
pine star
They don't need to
balmy wolf
they are guaranteed.
pine star
^
pliant ivy
ah then misfits and ninja get these spots?
balmy wolf
nah
pliant ivy
for EU
balmy wolf
Misfits, Ninja, Riders and one other team had priority seeds
forest raven
Rogue and nV are skipping season zero and going right to ro8 season 1
pine star
The only teams that go straight to group stages are nV and Rogue
balmy wolf
tfw you don't need to do qualifiers and season zero because you've been smurfing in NA for so long
pliant ivy
Because of their results?
forest raven
Also because they're in Korea
Same for C9 skipping quals of season zero, because they're gonna be in Germany
Also they're C9
supple nymph
literal c9
pliant ivy
And why not misfits. I mean they won a big tournament
supple nymph
because they are not there
pliant ivy
i think
balmy wolf
last time Misfits won a tourny was last year -_-

Nrg should skip to season 1

When are the group stages again?

A solid breakdown of the Overwatch Contenders schedule and how it will take place: https://www.winstonslab.com/news/2017/05/23/overwatch-contenders-season-zero/
balmy wolf
you know the funny part of OW Contenders? Suddenly about 100 billions players just become free agents
forest raven
balmy wolf
the recruitment channels have been rather busy
forest raven
After this one there will be the Open Division which will be for Master+
forest raven
Right now for season zero of the Overwatch Contenders any team can sign up with a team of 6 - 8 players, regardless of skill level
After season zero there will be the Open Division, which is restricted to players of Master SR and higher
forest raven
Season 3 numbers had Master players as 3 or 4% of the total player population
And that was calculated from season high, not season end
forest raven
Assuming it will be players that consistently hold a rank of master or higher
But no clue
supple nymph
there are lots of articles in r/cow about it
balmy wolf
qualifiers for WC probably will happen after season zero is ended

Im probably gonna get a slowpoke for this but I dont feel like scrolling back

@limber pine quick question: does the mods of r/compow scare of sudden influx of new users? Hence why r/OW still haven't had any sidebar link to r/compow
balmy wolf
but even then
why wouldn't r/ow just put r/compow link to the sidebar then?
considering you mod both sub
there's gotta be something that scare you folks off of that
clever wagon
I was for the idea at first
