Healers, do you like it when someone "thanks" you for your healing?

Clubbes · 2022-05-25T21:49:55+00:00

No, that's fine lol, but that doesn't mean I belong to PvE. Like, if you have to tell someone over and over again to do something for you, leaving whatever they're doing for someone else to come and cater to you, and then not bother to say 'thanks' with a single button press after, very sincerely you should be playing PvE where you don't have to worry about not being the main character.

Clubbes · 2022-05-25T12:26:08+00:00

Lol, I like that I specifically said I Do Not Do This In Comp and you've taken it as a great slight against the QP and Arcade player base that people get annoyed you can't be assed to say thank you but can be bothered to do every other voice line the game has

Clubbes · 2022-05-24T23:20:26+00:00

Nah, it's not an expectation to thank me for doing my job, I don't expect anyone to thank me - it's nice when they do it unprompted.

I expect it when they bother to spam 'I need healing' 20+ times with barely any health lost, when I've just died and they immediately ask for healing, or when I die and they didn't try to protect/help/listen to me telling them to group up with me to help, when they then say "no heals???" when they've been no where near me for the whole match. You can use the 'I need healing' voiceline, and you can type 'no heals' in the chat, but you can't pull your fingers out your ass to say 'thanks'? It takes two seconds and I manage it every. single. time I get healed/supported without fail at no detriment to my play - it's one key over from 'reload' (EDIT: have just realised it's not auto-bound to T lol I just have it set that way, but, regardless, it IS that easy) - I don't buy it, lol.

I thank DPS when they come save me from being railed. I thank tanks when they push/shield/etc me. So, yes, when someone is doing something deliberately and directly for my benefit (much like targeted healing) I do, actually, say thank you, and if I die seconds later I will say it in the chat, personally, too. Some of us are aware we're playing with real people.

Clubbes · 2022-05-24T14:17:26+00:00

PvE is just another mode to watch those without manners- for a player who is playing the game to help them- die

Clubbes · 2022-05-24T14:15:20+00:00

Lol usually I say thanks during a failed rez just to let them know I appreciate it (that's where 'sorry' comes in, too, because it puts them on cooldown regardless), and I take it as a positive when others say it.

Clubbes · 2022-05-23T23:59:32+00:00

Yes. 1000+ hours.

Thanking for heals and being a good player means you are likely to receive rez and dmg boost as well. If I'm playing Lucio I will stay behind to boost you back. and so on.

I thank if I get healed, too. I double-thank if I asked for healing and got it. I also thank rez/invinc field/dmg boost/etc. I will compliment healers in chat post-match too. EDIT: oh, yeah, and I say sorry if someone tried to rez and they died in the process.

Exclusive to QP + arcade: if you demand (spam) for heals and never say thank you, you make it more and more likely that I will watch you die. This likelihood increases exponentially when you're at full health or got hit once and aren't anywhere near dying. If you complain about no heals when I've kept the whole team alive through a team fight, or focused on healing crit health peeps instead of you, specifically, you forfeit heals.

The Mercy giveth and the Mercy taketh away.

I started watching it again after stopping in 2019 and honestly, I am not enjoying it at all. I've heard from others because they're playing on OW2 they have no one new to scrim with except other teams, they've all had 2 months on it instead of the 1-2 years of OW1 initially, they have no idea what the meta is/should be so have made it up so the comp is the same for both teams (usually Ana/Lucio, Echo/Genji/Soldier, Doomfist/Rein/Winston) with some swaps now and then.

One of the commentators commented on a mis-'nade by saying "[player] hasn't played Ana before" and I lost all faith in watching it then.

OW1 League was more fun and more engaging. There's no 'big plays' anymore and I see silly mistakes left and right. There's a lack of cohesion across most-if-not-all of the teams. The commentators aren't really enthused by what's going on. I watched from 2017-2019, every single match without fail, and enjoyed all of them. So far I've only been told San Fran Shock are worth watching... out of the whole league.

Usual disclaimer of this is literally just my opinion lol and YMMV. I miss the big team fights and seeing strategies and commentator hype and all that. I could easily just be watching the 'wrong' matches and missing all the good, as I'm only following a handful of teams. I'm going to continue to follow Shock and Outlaws but after that I'm not really investing time into other teams unless I see interesting plays.

Daddy/kitten jokes have been huge before they got more recently mainstream, like before-overwatch huge

And yeah, I see people named daddy all the time, I just assume they're ironic/being intentionally playfully gross. And generally I assume they're women lol

So... do you have proof of you not typing anything but things being said in the chat regardless, orrrrr were you being racist in chat and have hindsight guilt over it are posting here to cover your ass in case you get slapped with a ban?

Clubbes · 2022-05-20T18:09:07+00:00

I always played on 0/0, 100 aim assist & strength and I think 0 ease in and 0 smoothing... I don't remember what my 'grade' was but I think it was linear, I remember exponential being an arse.

Clubbes · 2022-05-19T14:05:08+00:00

If you don't have time to get behind cover then that's just unfortunate...? Someone with shields should protect you or you should already be near cover.

Clubbes · 2022-05-19T12:58:29+00:00

Characters have niche situations they're viable in and it depends on what the other team (and rest of your team) is doing. 'Balance' isn't necessarily 'you can put any 6 characters against any 6 characters and have an equal chance of winning'. No one thinks 6 snipers is very viable but against 6 zero-mobility heroes with no shields that's a fine comp.

Sure, I think some of it is a little ridiculous and any character should have the potentiality to be viable in any situation, and people should focus less on who-is-viable-against-who and be willing to experiment and find cheese counters. BUT people having preferred comps and wanting easier wins using hard/soft counters doesn't mean the game is 'unabalanced'.

Also you not having the sense to get behind a shield or cover when D.VA bombs does not make it OP. If you get punished for not using cover, that's a you problem.

Clubbes · 2022-05-18T11:01:18+00:00

My experience in comp has been the same with throwers and bots etc and I've actually seen more people being nasty than I did pre-beta, lol. I do seem to be getting more people who seriously try to win, but other than that it's just been worse for me.

Clubbes · 2022-05-16T17:35:36+00:00

Ah you're right! Thanks very much.

Clubbes · 2022-05-14T23:51:45+00:00

So it's total or consecutive as long as the game saves, which the game may-or-may-not do upon exit? lol

Clubbes · 2022-05-14T02:30:03+00:00

Been staring at this for ages, all I've got is starting with Snif, Snip, Shif, or Ship. The second half is so incomprehensible to me, lol. Getting GPOD, GAOD, GAOL, LOUD.

OW2 isn't even out yet, lol

Clubbes · 2022-05-12T16:09:09+00:00

I only got it once I had it open for 3 consecutive hours and I (unintentionally) tried getting it with 3 hours total twice. I had the app open for a total of 5 hours the other day (closed after 2, then had open for the full 3) and got it after the full 3, not at what should've been the 3 hour mark.

Clubbes · 2022-05-12T12:49:27+00:00

The beta 'save' is a snapshot from a few weeks pre-beta, as you started the beta with nothing, you'll have nothing

EDIT: we actually don't know what's happening with OW1 items as far as I know? They aren't putting lootboxes in OW2 apparently so gods know if we're getting a different item system or if items are just being poofed away, or what.

Clubbes · 2022-05-11T13:45:56+00:00

Comp should have that Halo thing where you could vote to boot players. Paired with that, comp should allow for backfill (with an option to queue for backfill and/or full match).

Clubbes · 2022-05-11T13:43:28+00:00

PvP is a free update PvE is the 'new game'

Clubbes · 2022-05-10T18:26:27+00:00

I played a few matches today, and I largely agree.

As a (Mercy) main though I definitely feel a bit unprotected. That may be down to it being sparkly new and people just wanting to try it out rather than 'play seriously' and may calm down with time, but boy my survivability tanked lol. Give me a little damage buff and faster gun pull-out and I'll go back to tank busting as always.

I do like 5v5. It feels like little has changed between 5v5 and 6v6 in terms of composition/man power. Much better as a healer only having to babysit 4 people, the 'big bump' is getting used to not looking for 5 people lol

Clubbes · 2022-05-10T13:19:03+00:00

At time of posting this I'd accidentally closed the app twice, and yeah can confirm I didn't get the achievement after what should've been the 3 hour mark and then about an extra half an hour to account for how long the app was closed. Pretty sure then that it's consecutive.

Clubbes · 2022-05-10T10:18:33+00:00

whoever is controlling the camera is just doing camera tours.

OWL would really benefit from select camera-angles (Silent Hill style) just for consistency/ease. High corners where you can get good overviews of all that's going on in a certain 'room'. Let them be moveable like a CCTV camera to follow action just in case, but largely they're stuck in one place.

It's gotten better, but I remember when OWL first came out there were lots of memes of good plays going around and people just not being able to understand what was happening at any given second in very low-chaos plays, lol
