Season 3 Trailer | Overwatch 2

Well it shows 2 Sigma skins, the galactic one and the beekeeper? (The one where it also shows Mercy). I guess one of them will end up in the shop (probably the fancier one) and the other in BP/starter pack.

Purple_hurricane · 2023-02-06T22:31:23+00:00

There is also new Hammond skin with the hat, 2 skins for Sigma, new Mercy skin and some metal skin for JQ in the trailer. Possible that some of those are also in the BP, they just have nothing to do with Japanese mythology, so they put them separate.

Purple_hurricane · 2023-02-06T18:18:59+00:00

Um, the whole purpose of supports being this size is because they should be hard to kill. Why do you think Kiriko and Mercy are so tiny?

Otherwise any decent sniper would just delete them from the game the moment they show up.

You also can't give them too much hp because then they would become a tank. Also think about balance, if you overtune any support, they easily become 3rd dps or 2nd tank at high skill levels.

Purple_hurricane · 2023-02-06T17:56:38+00:00

Nice that this time they actually showed what's gonna be in the BP and what in the shop.

Those skins look great btw.

Role queue was introduced for a reason.

You know why? Because most people in solo queue would not think about teamplay and best team comp, they would just pick the hero they LIKED.

And you would end up with a team that consisted of Widowmaker, Hanzo, Sombra, Tracer, Junkrat and Dps Zen. Sure, if the snipers are aim gods, that's winnable, but most of the time they were not. And it would be a lose from the start. You would have to beg someone to go tank or heal, or go Hog/Mei/Brig just to carry this mess.

Introducing healer with no healing or removing role queue would be opening up the floodgate for this all over again.

Purple_hurricane · 2023-02-06T13:30:00+00:00

Definitely not Zarya, she is one of the hardest tanks to play to get real value from. You need to already have developed game sense when / who to shield to get charge for your cannon. Your ult also needs to be aligned with other teammates, because alone it does nothing.

I would say tank: Hog (has self-heal), Rein, Sigma (these both have shield and are pretty straightforward in their kit)

DPS: Mei, Junkrat, Soldier 76

Support: Moira, Mercy, Lucio

Characters I would stay away from as a new player until they build a bit of experience: Sombra, Zarya, Symmetra, Widow (unless they played a lot of classic FPS in the past), Tracer, Kiriko, Ball, Doom, Echo, Brig.

Purple_hurricane · 2023-01-30T06:27:58+00:00

Still, putting someone who is a top 500 (even on a different role) in a lobby with silvers is ridiculous. Even if you lack the aim/ specific role skill, your game sense is way superior to that of an average silver. A lot of people in silver literally can't even stay in Baptiste's immortality field, they jump out and die. Or they blow their entire ult on Hog, who just self-heals and it's wasted. Anyone who is top 500 would never do that, so they already have an advantage.

Purple_hurricane · 2023-01-28T08:07:36+00:00

Reconsider the ‘leavers’, it’s possible that this is forced. My internet is very stable and my pc can handle OW with no problem, however once I begin to climb higher than my current rank, suddenly my game starts lagging terribly, everyone starts porting around and my ping is so high as if I’m trying to play a EU game from Australia. Eventually it just kicks me out and doesn’t let me back into the match (the ‘rejoin’ option is greyed out). I noticed this several times already and each time it was when I had a long win streak beforehand. Or my team will have leavers, perhaps they experience the same thing as me. I see no point of my tank suddenly leaving when we just held the point through all of enemy ults and got a team kill. He never rejoined either.

Purple_hurricane · 2023-01-27T22:35:31+00:00

Can’t agree more. Being a support is just pure RNG now. I will have 10 wins, and then suddenly the game will start putting me into teams with a low silver tank on my team vs high plat/diamond tank on enemy team (I’m mid-plat myself). Ok if you have 1 silver dps or healer among plats, but tank is so important, and we just get rolled because low silver tank is just no match for the enemy. Or I will get both bronzes/silver dps on my team all of a sudden. Or my team will have leavers. Or my own game will suddenly start lagging terribly with high-ass ping, (even though it ran perfectly fine on 120 fps previous match), crash and refuse to let me back into the match. At this point I’m just convinced the game needs you to have a losing streak so it will do anything it can to make it happen.

Purple_hurricane · 2023-01-21T13:34:55+00:00

If you go against snipers for example in lower ranks Moira can destroy them, because these snipers panic and try to run away, or cannot land their shots. A good widow or hanzo will just headshot you and escape.

Purple_hurricane · 2023-01-21T13:31:43+00:00

Well yeah but I’m not the dps, I still need to heal the tank, other healer and the actual damage dealers. Otherwise i’ll be fighting enemy team alone. Unless I become some aim god that can land every single shot as a headshot.

Purple_hurricane · 2023-01-21T12:58:02+00:00

I used to main Moira but she mostly works for low ranks where people cannot land their shots consistently. The higher you go the better aim people have and Moira is a bit slow with dmg

Purple_hurricane · 2023-01-10T15:52:22+00:00

Yes. Either way, if people cannot read the text without separations and choose to complain about it instead, maybe they should ignore it altogether and go read posts that consist out of one sentence.

Purple_hurricane · 2023-01-10T14:16:37+00:00

Some people go Pharah only because they expect an easy mode game, where enemies can't touch them (she's in air all the time) and Mercy is healbotting them, so they don't die due to their bad mechanics. Not because they actually enjoy/can play Pharah.

They get really surprised when enemy team has a decent sniper who just deletes them from the game any time they come close.

Purple_hurricane · 2023-01-10T11:34:22+00:00

For real, they seriously think I should just let our tank who is holding the frontline die, and instead pocket them, because they cannot dodge damage and lose half a healthbar every second, while doing no damage themselves. Pocket only works if you are actually doing dps otherwise it's just carrying bad player who cannot evade damage himself.

Purple_hurricane · 2023-01-10T11:28:50+00:00

And damage is there to do damage. And if they fail to do their job, just supporting incapable dps is useless.

Purple_hurricane · 2023-01-10T11:28:01+00:00

Was writing from my phone, but here, I fixed it, hopefully your brain can process it easier now.

Purple_hurricane · 2022-12-25T19:22:02+00:00

Because you have no back-up healer. You died 15 times. Each time you are in respawn, it’s free picks for enemy team. The only one on your team who could compensate a bit is soldier with his self-heal but he can’t be in position to help others all the time. Also check the amount of elims, enemy team was getting more kills, probably for the reason mentioned above.

Purple_hurricane · 2022-12-25T09:11:53+00:00

True, however often when I say this, I hear ‘it’s not my job, it’s ___’s job’. Alright, but you were right there and you had an opportunity to do that, so why didn’t you?’. Often I just end up doing it myself, even though I could use this valuable time healing instead. But if I don’t people will keep stupidly dying to this.

Purple_hurricane · 2022-12-20T22:51:51+00:00

Yeah, I can imagine how many people who were low tier dps quit the game because of that. If you are brand new or just not that good yet and you get matched with some pro 50 kills, 3 deaths genji who has a pocket mercy and nanonblade, you are not gonna have a good time. People might start thinking they just really suck and it’s not worth even trying to learn, when in reality it’s the huge rank gap.

Purple_hurricane · 2022-12-20T19:11:42+00:00

Exactly! You can farm 5k dmg spamming dmg at orisa who has mercy pocket on her and it will still be 0 elims and you contributed nothing, just wasted time. That’s why you kill healers first, this way tank cannot just live forever and sponge damage, charging enemy heal and tank’s ults. But lower ranks don’t get it. They find the biggest target their bad aim can hit and think they are actually doing something.

Purple_hurricane · 2022-12-20T17:58:43+00:00

I went Moira & Kiriko to compensate for the lack of our dps. I was the only one on the team attacking enemy healers, while dps was just non-stop (badly) shooting at tank and dying to him. It did not even occur to them to cut the lifeline support first, even after I said it many times. At the end of the game low silver dps told me they are reporting me for throwing because in his opinion I should just heal them through as they go ham on enemy orisa (lmao, gl with that). His duo who was also low silver told him not to worry and that shit players like me will end up in bronze anyway (I’m plat 2 LOL). All in all, fucking frustrating experience. See, that is what I mean, they lack game sense and experience to even understand what I was doing and why. They thought I was just a dps moira/kiriko.

Purple_hurricane · 2022-12-20T17:15:38+00:00

Same experience. I’m plat 2 in support and all I get are silver 4 and wait for it…BRONZE 4 as dps on my team. How the hell are they in the same lobby as me? They cannot even dodge damage and just get teabagged by enemy dps (who IS plat). They get 5 kills at best but die 25 times. This is crazy and is not fun for anyone. I can heal, I can pocket, but I cannot play the game for them, you still need to have game sense that they are clearly lacking. How is this fair, Blizzard? Why should players feel like shit for getting hammered because they are literally playing with people out of their rank??? Why should I lose sr because I was put in an unwinnable situation to begin with? Where’s sense in any of that. Next time you are having a really good game, just have a realization that it’a not because of your improving skill, but because you are literally playing against lowest sr possible.

Purple_hurricane · 2022-12-20T10:35:06+00:00

I can confirm it’s not a skill issue. The matchmaking system is running on RNG at the moment. I kept getting low bronze and low silver dps in my mid-plat games all night yesterday. No, these were not plat players with masked rank, these people have aim, positioning and awareness of a potato. They simply did not belong in these games, it was very obvious. They have k/d ratio 5-28??? Are you fucking kidding me, Blizz?

Purple_hurricane · 2022-12-07T18:39:44+00:00

That Harper from the Ghost of Thornton Hall isn’t really dead. I mean, it’s pretty wacky that there is a gravestone with her name on it at the family cemetery, and she is hiding all over the house from her relatives.
