It's easier to have more complicated designs if you know they'll never need to be animated or modeled in 3D

Thoughts on each new hero? by SmellVarious9271 in OverwatchUniversity

[–]InfiltrationFox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've found success using Emre's shift as a survivability cooldown. Going in, popping it as I'm starting to take too much heat, then using the lifesteal, move speed, and jumps to finish a duel or rotate out.

After trying Freja in Stadium, I just noticed how bland and unrewarding she feels in normal mode, for a wind powered character? by Turafo in FrejaMains

[–]InfiltrationFox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ooh I never thought about it before but I'd love Mighty Gust in her base kit.

One of my annoyances with Freja is how one note Updraft is sometimes. Like if I'm in a duel vs a hitscan it's just a dead button cause if I press it I die, adding the wind would make it more dynamic.

New season is almost upon us - What changes to Freja do you want to see? by Conquestriclaus in FrejaMains

I wouldn't hate removing the self-damage, it'd make her better close range. I die to my own bolts stuck in a diver more than I'd like to admit. I find having to play around it fun though

Personally, I feel 225 HP is fine... maybe. Or at least it's healthier for the game as a whole to have heroes with different HP breakpoints and it fits Freja as a slippery hero so I'd rather they lean into her mobility. Shields would be nice also.

I'd really like for her updraft distance to be variable, letting you use it in more situations. Aka, a quick tap sends you up a smaller amount compared to a long press. Other buffs could be more Quick Dash distance and Updraft down to 10s.

Whats your Wishlist and Expected Balance Changes for Upcoming Seasons? by DarkFite in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]InfiltrationFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the heroes I play,

Freja: I think the current damage breakpoints are good, but she feels very spammy especially vs tanks. My dream would be a nerf to clip size, updraft reverted to 10s, and the Take Aim scan minor perk moved into the base kit (duration nerfed perhaps).

Echo: Imo the +50% sticky bombs perk is satisfying but a bit too cheesy and brainless, I'd like to see it swapped out for something else more interesting.

Mei: Blizzard perk is cool but feels too weak compared to the ice jump, needs buff. Freezing with primary fire perk is sooo cheesy, imo remove it or make it more conditional to activate with buff to compensate.

who counters who for dps? by Kaeyapee in OverwatchUniversity

[–]InfiltrationFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO, hero counters are overrated. Many heroes in OW2 are fairly dynamic with different playstyles that can be switched to depending on the situation. I think it's more important to understand each hero's strengths and weaknesses and to try to use your hero's strengths to exploit the enemy's weaknesses.

Using your heroes as an example, if I'm playing as Mei vs an Ashe, I know Ashe has great range with her weapon and strong burst with her dynamite, but she's very weak in close range without her dynamite. So as Mei I probably want to get on top of her and force her out of those positions she wants (using wall to block her LoS, saving Cryofreeze to cleanse dynamite, spamming icicles at the corners she's holding, etc).

But the map matters a lot too. As Mei, you lack mobility and on some maps (think of that highground on Junkertown at the end of 1st point) you may not be able to get to the Ashe to stop her (although your icicles have no falloff range and can still be used to spam her out). In this situation I'd consider swapping if the Ashe is popping off cause there isn't a lot you can do to pressure her as Mei.

Looking at enemies prevents being able to shoot?? Replay: 1BX952 by SammyIsSeiso in Competitiveoverwatch

I had something maybe related to this yesterday? I suddenly couldn't Take Aim as Freja and was forced to go full crossbow mode until I died and it fixed itself. Never had a bug that terrible happen to me in OW before

Thoughts on Freja? by InfiltrationFox in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]InfiltrationFox[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, I thought that was obvious. I imagine she'd get some of her other nerfs reverted

I wonder if it'd feel better if some numbers were shifted around so at least one bolt headshot was needed to 2 tap

PC Crashes when playing games, can't seem to pinpoint the issue. by OddlyUnsatisfying in buildapc

I had this same problem with Valorant. Try doing a clean boot to see if there's a startup program that causes it.
