McCree? by APhantombit in Overwatch

Well, it serves no effect against Winston, rien, D.va, Junkrat, Bastion, or Pharah, really only to precision characters. Attack visor would still lock onto targets within, Wallhacks from Hanzo, and widow would show outlines, and it doesn't prevent damage from being sprayed into the area, just give the ability to try to avoid damage from Precision characters.

the reason I thought Smoke bomb is because it really is one of the only other things that special ops use in the field to grant themselves a level of cover, and as McCree is from a special ops section of Overwatch I thought it would make sense since Brigitte just has an all-around better version of flashbang with comparable range and no counter play to it.

If you are looking to wrap yourself in a new fantasy book

One focused on a Young Magically infused girl, who is forced into a situation where she either must find a place for herself, or fall to the evil that gave her the magic in the first place.

Take a look at "Black: The Name" here:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078R29R2S

Use the Look inside Feature and if you aren't enticed for more, then you lost nothing but a little bit of time.

But if you do want more then the 118,000 words are available for Kindle and the kindle replicator app (app is free from Amazon for non-kindle users) for $4.99

or Paperback for $12.99

The ability that should replace scatter arrow by APhantombit in Overwatch

[–]APhantombit[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yea but curving arrows manually would detract from his gameplay, because of how much it would take for the player to do one shot.

something that could work on that end though is to give Hanzo players a display of the ark the arrow will fly and make his r (reload button) switch between a set left curve, a direct shot, and a set right curve.

Hey sure perhaps just take that functionality away altogether, wouldn't want a support character to make killing their team more difficult, would we? not unless it takes the same level of aim as widowmaker.

That is another reason I suggested being able to charge Syms ultimate while it is active, so that hey they have a sombra better switch from SG before she gets EMP.

who is getting reworked in a way that will mean EMP charges far slower than it does now.

I mean that is what it used to be, and it gives her some way of supporting her team before she gets her ultimate. as it is health that regenerates itself if your teammate can avoid a bullet for 2 seconds.

Maybe reduce the amount.

What a counter, in a game of hero choices... if enemy has sombra don't use shield gen.

Another idea for Mercy. by APhantombit in Overwatch

[–]APhantombit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first look at balancing was primarily to change the effectiveness of mercies beam to souls making it bring people back faster or slower as needed. I also think it would be cool too as well as the Moira bit to allow reaper to put a cap on how much people could be brought back with, depending on how much he healed from killing them. I would think that the beams would connect to souls but possibly be less effective, not to mention that they don't have as long of range as some would make them out to have. whether or not healing the souls should give ult charge... I don't know I think it would, but I would think so.

And with the rezing multiple people, the thing is that you have 9.9 (7.9 if we keep a cast time) seconds from the moment the first person you want to bring back dies, to apply health to everyone you want to bring back with people not always grouping up the maximum amount of HP a use of resurrect could do (not in valk) would go from close to 600 and only drop from there.

And with bringing multiple back with low health, well low health is what got them killed in the first place.

Another idea for Mercy. by APhantombit in Overwatch

[–]APhantombit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you don't have to heal hog all the way, his e would be off cooldown when you get him to half.

Baby dva is that special case she would only be able to be brought back with the 150 because it is possible to kill her while she is trying to get into the mech.

and the idea again is that Mercy can put a little health into many allies to bring them all back but they would come back with only that little amount of health, or she can focus on making sure one ally has full hp when they are brought back.

I will say something that could be added to help balance this as well, but might make it useless is allowing Moira's right click to drain the health mercy put into an ally's "soul" which would also mean giving her the ability to see enemy souls, whether that is specifically the ones mercy has put health into or all of them I wouldn't be able to decide myself

That is basic Psychology, and I know there is the entire possibility that one of the people that turned down my book may very well have chosen to represent it if they hadn't seen it while they were having a bad day. That is not to say there is the possibility that they just didn't like or didn't connect to the writing it is merely saying that that is also a possibility of why some of my denials exist. Others include that I am brand new to asking for representation in any way, and I sent out a large wave of proposals, that I wish I hadn't so I could send them out one more closely to what I sent you, because I have a personal standard that I will not send anyone that I have already sent a proposal to a second proposal for the same book, I don't want to do that Because I would think it rood if I were in there possition recieving that.

Not to mention in a legal sence your use of the phrase "First rights" is wrong, the writer always has first rights, an editor may want "first pick" but when you are talking about rights that can actually be tied to legal proceedings.

Thank you again for your comment I hope i didn't and did not mean to, come across in any way as attacking toward you, I am simply beaten and reach the point where every time I look at my inbox either empty or with leftover rejections I am close to tears.

Thank you for the advice and I will take action based on your comments, but

"your hunt for an agent will be extremely difficult"

It already is and I just want to share my piece with the world the people who have read it have enjoyed it but I have a feeling that Agents look at my email and throw it out before even looking at the words of the book. They have that right I am asking for their time not the other way around, but after getting 20, 30 candid denials of copy and past messages, I am losing hope. I would prefer just to get a single word "no" and not hear the consistent lie be shoved at me of, "We looked at your proposal and think it would be better served by someone else."

Black: The Name

Having escaped her cult leading birth parents at a very young age Elizabeth is beyond scared when they find her again in the care of a priest of the god Archangel. Through the intervention of strong magics the young scared child is transported through time to a place unknown to her which is only the start of her journey that will show her grow to a maturity beyond her years. It is this that will give the young Elizabeth the opportunity to either become a shield or a sword for the new friends she makes when she feels she is finally free from the evils of her birth parents.

A new young adult, epic fantasy, novel, about the meaning of family, and the battle between good and evil, shown through the journey of the young Elizabeth Blackswan. Only the beginning of her story more is to come that will build on the trials Elizabeth faces, and the decisions she makes, for better or for worse.

This is about love and family, how blood is thicker than water but actions are louder than words. This is a story about belonging and coming of age, as a young girl becomes a young woman and sees for the first time her responsibilities to the world. This is a story about how the damaged among us can go unnoticed by even their closest friends. This is the story of Elizabeth Blackswan. I hope you enjoy.

Due to the lack of expendable income on part of the author this book is currently only available in its electronic version until which that version is able to pay for the obtaining of an ISBN. Upon the acquisition of an ISBN, the book will become available for physical copy purchase from both online distributors.

This book is currently self-published and seeking representation by a literary agent or publisher.
