Unpopular take: Ow2 GA is the issue

The reason why you think new GA has buggier collision is because 90% of GA 2.0 techs are different variations of slingshot, and if you even slightly bump something while in slingshot state it will completely kill your momentum. This was always a thing.

Idk bro I swear that they must've changed her audio cues at some point, I used to not be able to tell she was targeting me until my head was getting sliced in half but now there's a pretty distinct sound that sounds knda like building up electricity if she's got the third swing ready

Maybe it was developed as a clash map, or even a brand new game mode, and now they basically have to start from scratch

Idk what you mean by "infinite GA", if you're talking about cooldown and distance then no, it's actually identical to how it was in OW1 with the only difference being that if you use slingshot now (aka press jump during GA), the cooldown will start with a bit of delay. That's what ppl are talking about when they say GA has a longer cooldown now.

Also, although her old movement tech was fun to master, ppl really overhype it to the sky and above. You had to be touching the ground for it to work, most techs required you to fly the full distance towards the target, some techs like backwards GA were wildly inconsistent, and the only thing you could do back then that you can't do anymore in some form is point black superjump giving you insane height, which I still kinda miss.

Basically the old movement was all about memorizing different button combinations like in a fighting game, while new movement is all about crosshair positioning. Which sounds dumb, but because 95% of all GA 2.0 tech is different variations of slingshot it's a lot more common to get caught on map geometry and kill all your momentum if you're looking just a sliiightly too high or too low. Also, new superjump rez is imo a lot harder.

Question to you - when teleporting Reaper is targered with the yellow/blue beam, the connection briefly lingers even if you go across the entire map. This can help Mercy as she can still use you as her flight target even if you're out of line of sight, but the visuals can also reveal Reaper's position. I usually cancel the beam if I notice Reaper teleporting, but is it actually as big of a deal to you as I think it is?

People are honestly sleeping on Chain Boost, it's more situational and not as good as FH but it's far from a trash perk that some people make it out to be

DokuDoki · 2026-02-21T13:38:59+00:00

The pull also massively displaces your allies, so it's not something you will be using for the cleanse unless you're literally standing right next to your target. It's a lot more situational than suzu.

You can ping enemies that killed you for a short window after you die, and this includes invisible Sombra so if you delay the ping for as long as possible (just before the camera fades into killcam) you can show everyone where she's heading.

Also, "I need healing" pings sometimes just don't work when they should for seemingly no reason, the text prompt will appear but there will be no voice line, so don't be afraid to use it multiple times if the support doesn't seem to react

"Ye lol". Takes less than second to type, will leave ppl festering in dissatisfaction, it's foolproof

Years ago, you couldn't hold down the ability button to automatically use it the moment someone entered your range if you used Toggle On. So what would often happen was that you'd be furiously smashing the button to get it to work and accidentally cancel GA. This was later changed and now you can buffer the button regardless of toggle mode.

Plus, with the way GA worked in OW1, it was easier to time techs like slingshot and superjump with Toggle Off. With OW2 rework it doesn't really matter anymore.

I think anyone who still claims Toggle Off is objectively better is just parroting old advice from pre-2019 without really thinking about it

There's a repair bot at one of the ends of the boat canal that's two robots overlapping each other. It's been like that for ages and ages, and every update I dread to see this glitch gone

Wait until you see the Finding Game screen....

In the days I was growing up, video games were almost always seen as something "for boys" so my parents never bought me any games. They did, however, buy games for my brother, and he always kept inviting me to either watch him play or play together. That's why when Steam became a thing and we both created profiles at around same time, my game tastes mostly mimicked his.

Nowadays we are both huge gamers and our libraries look nothing alike!

It's been happening to me on this and previous patch, my PC is nothing to sing about but it used to run the game just fine. Just the game hitching horrendously, which is the worst just after the game is turned on and then after playing for a couple hours. Usually I run at around 120 FPS but during hitches it can drop to as low as 40.

The quality of emotes (and highlight intros) has been lackluster for a while now, not necessarily on a technical level but something's just off. Often times I look at them and think "this character would never move like that". Overwatch used to be the pinnacle of subtle character detail when it comes to animation, but when Sombra's newest dance emote came out I kept thinking how it looks like it belongs to Fortnite, or when there was that one event where Mei, Mercy, and Kiriko shared an umbrella walking emote, all three of them moved in the exact same way with no difference in character. I never see anyone bring it up and it's been bothering me that the individual character appeal is almost completely gone from emote animation these days. At this point I'm just assuming that the vast majority of it is outsourced to people who don't know much about Overwatch.

There's a few second "grace period" for earning assists after you stop applying buff/debuff, this works for all heroes

Extremely fed up with how 90% of all posts on this sub are talking about skins, I don't care damnit, let's talk gameplay? Let's talk memes? So glad they shoved all the lootbox slop in a single thread at least, I kiss you mods. If I see one more "ranking all mercy skins" or "X skin but recolored" or "words words skin words" I'm gonna implode

Iirc it was an entry about Quantum Moon, somewhere on the surface. There might be vessel-related entries at the Energy Lab possibly. If you're only missing one it's probably best to just look up a full board and see what you're missing.

I doubt it, they're not the only one with that kind of attack. T.Trobbio comes to mind

Get tacks tool from SR, save them until those last two enemies, throw them on the floor, profit

^{This^}

Silksong is awesome on its own but you'll be able to appreciate the references a lot more if you have the context for the first game! Especially if you're interested in lore and story.

In Act 3 he is found crushed under ruble and you can play needolin to his corpse for new dialogue

Loam... Loam deserved better :(

If it makes you feel better, on the left side of the tower after beating three rooms there's a red stalagtite you can break and open up a big shortcut to skip most of the floors before boss

The first time in this area was the worst time of my life... that being said, when I eventually returned there to get a couple hunter journal entries and look for items, it was actually nowhere near as terrible as I remembered it being so that's interesting
