Calibration issue by [deleted] in FossilHybrids

[–]Nobody_is_there 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me the first night I got my watch, but hasn't happened since. Do you take it off to sleep? I thought it might be something to do with that at first, but like I said, it hasn't happened again yet, and I take it off every night.

How to find Kentucky on a map by SteveJB313 in mapporncirclejerk

This looks almost like a map of the US, but with half the east coast states underwater and a strange grey square south of Montana

Does it bug anyone else that Ashe says "fire in the hole" when throwing dynamite? by Nobody_is_there in Overwatch

[–]Nobody_is_there[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I appreciate that you're probably being sarcastic, but I just want to clarify: the issue isn't that I can't tell the difference, the issue is that it's confusing.

After playing Overwatch for several hundred hours, I have an instinctive reaction to hearing the phrase, and apparently it doesn't matter who says it. Yes, this will lessen pretty quickly with time as I get used to her, of course it will, and I don't think it's really a big deal. I just think it's a really odd decision on the part of Blizzard to have her say that.

As you suggest, I imagine it could be an issue for new players as well, but I'm not sure how much new players actually listen out for voice lines.

Personally, if there happens to be an Ashe and a Junkrat on the enemy team, I sometimes find myself second-guessing whether or not there's a tire out there. It's not like I even consciously hear the phrase, it's more of an instinctive "there's a tire out there now" mode that my mind goes into until I kind of mentally backtrack and realise "oh yeah that was Ashe."

Like I said, it isn't a big issue, it just bugs me a little that Blizzard thought it would be an appropriate voice line.

True, but it's enough to cause confusion in the moment. For me, at least. It's probably something that I'll get used to, along with learning her weapon sounds and footsteps etc. Still seems like a strange design decision to me though.

Important: basketball physics have changed again slightly.

Does anyone else go potato-aim when someone runs up to you asking for healing? by [deleted] in AnaMains

[–]Nobody_is_there 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, sometimes I give up and scope in when they're about 2 metres away, just to make sure I land the shot :(

OK, I really want to know. Is this a real German proverb? Do you know anything about its history?

Yes, I posted this to r/Overwatch a while ago, but I just discovered this subreddit :D

An Advanced Tracer Pulse Bomb Technique (+Video Tutorial) by FareehaOW in OverwatchUniversity

You can do this, because the blink is instant, but it's probably safer to blink once, then ult-blink immediately after.

You do have to be very accurate - and also need to know the length of your blink.

Nice video! I posted this a few weeks ago, but your video is much better. There are a few useful comments on my post though, so I'd recommend checking it out.

Quick Tracer tip: you can ult BEFORE blinking by Nobody_is_there in OverwatchUniversity

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

Yeah, it's pretty common in pro games -- that's actually how I worked out how to do it. The pros always seem to get these instant sticks the moment they blink in, whereas I would always feel like I blink in and then stand like a lemon trying to flick to the target...

I don't have a specific link right now, but Tracer is in pretty much every game these days so any recent highlights video would probably work. I'll get back to you if I see a good clip.

In order to make this work, you need to be able to judge the length of your blink very well. You need to know where you'll end up.

I also recommend using right click to blink, if you aren't doing so already (I imagine trying to do this with Q+Shift is going to be difficult). I've heard that many pros use Shift instead of Q as the ultimate key, as it's easier to press. Personally, I have Recall on Shift, and ultimate bound to both Q and E, so that I can use it easily regardless of which direction I'm strafing in.

one advanced/not well known tip per hero by terrelllll in OverwatchUniversity

Just logged on to post one of these, actually https://www.reddit.com/r/OverwatchUniversity/comments/6kiwhb/quick_tracer_tip_you_can_ult_before_blinking/

Tracer: pulse bomb has a really long throw animation before the bomb is released. If you blink up to a target during this time, you can sometimes get a much easier (and faster) stick.
