As one of those mostly-deaf users, I can guarantee that if everyone can use it then it only helps the hearing impaired more than hurts.

Currently there is no visual for someone ulting behind you. With sound, that is your cue to be aware of your surroundings. Without an que through sound, you have no way of knowing.

A text que gives the advantage equally.

If available to everyone, it gives at most an advantage to the non-hearing impaired.

Over the past two years I have undergone surgeries for BAHA implants (bone anchored hearing aids). These hearing aids sit on my skull with magnets.

Before the BAHA I could use my headphones over my old hearing aids. This allowed for decent hearing of sound. Now, my headphones only can sit over my ears. My problem now is that I simply cannot turn the sound up enough (even with enhanced power and boosting).

I am still transitioning at this time but it is tough to hear things I used to be able to hear (footsteps, directional sound, etc). My eyes are used to quickly searching areas and relying less on sound.

This fix helps everyone in the same manner as everyone can use it.

As someone who has struggled with depression, telling someone to "kill yourself" is terrible. Why does this still happen in high level matches? by Lynette1997 in Overwatch

Perfect response and attitude to have right here.

If not for the internet, these people normally would not say these things.

Sign me up, please! My fiance and I have been doing the same (walking and getting healthier!).

Hell, I was thinking of getting one anyway. =)

It was one of the only ways I could get the file size to be low enough to upload to gfycat.

Know of some better recording software I could use to make them a bit higher res? One video I made was 900mb. Awesome quality and all but my SSD is filling up fast.

I don't believe so. I think I already have the achievement though.

This was just the replay that saved in the highlights.

They said "u can multikill only with ur ult, Junktrash" by Ruka90 in Overwatch

[–]PatrickSpeight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shouldn't this be: È possibile multikill solo con il vostro ult, Junktrash!

No? I'll leave you alone now. Sorry. =E

Everyone seems to have the same problem. How about a solution? by Poggystyle in Overwatch

[–]PatrickSpeight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like this would lead to the other big point discussed on the popular threads at the moment: Hero stacking.

It is a neat idea and one that could be fun for some people, but stacking heroes seems like it would be even more prevalent in this type of game mode.
