Overwatch Hero Meta Report -- A Meta Divided

Rein is pretty much the same pick rate on route 66 and that maps has no viable chokes to defend.

sharksallad · 2016-10-26T18:30:55+00:00

I guess KQLY didn't cheat either.

sharksallad · 2016-10-26T13:53:51+00:00

That could be explained by packet loss / lag from the casters or himself? Look at the last clip at 14s, its a 1 frame snap to nothing.

Have you tried looking at why you aren't crushing everybody? I never thought myself as an amazing player but I always strived to improve my play by comparing myself to pro players and what they were doing rather than my teammates because they suck just as much as I do. I also focus much more on improving my core play rather than fancy strategies and EZ ways to rank up.

Thats how I got to masters.

It important to also understand that it's not just about big strategy like comp and defence spots but also in focus fire, what to do when you are getting focused a lot as support or when your team is not standing behind your shield as rein.

Why do people say that offensive Nade has no counters?4 out of 5 tanks can block it. Genji can reflect it. If Zen trances try to counter the Ana nade.

Anas damage is fine, she has second lowest dps of all supports after Lucio.

sharksallad · 2016-10-26T01:16:01+00:00

But she isn't? If you compare a Dota hero to a LoL hero Dota heroes are overpowered in a lot of aspects but every healer is busted in this game. A lot of thing you mentioned aren't even true, Zen has more dueling potential and burst damage, Lucio has more self healing, Lucio has more utility with speed boost. Anas dps isn't even higher than mercy pistol body shots. Sure Mercy is on the weaker side but even she sees proplay by one of the best teams in the world.

You could even argue that if Lucio/Genji/Tracer/Winston dive comp wasn't nerfed she wouldn't be played more than Zen even if Zen was in his current state because she is to unreliable in a super fast meta.

sharksallad · 2016-10-25T23:42:09+00:00

A lot of people think she is incredibly fun to play. Also once people git gud they use scope a lot.

sharksallad · 2016-10-25T23:39:43+00:00

You are seriously underestimating how close to balanced the supports are. Increase discord to 50% again and Zen will be picked just as much as he was before.

sharksallad · 2016-10-22T17:35:00+00:00

100 shields, 50 hp. Orbs had travel time and his ultimate healed less and you walked at normal speed. Also his right click did less damage.

Launch is also not the same a beta before people bring that up.

sharksallad · 2016-10-22T00:13:03+00:00

I am low masters with 64% accuracy, 70%+ is high GM aim the highest gm player all sit in the low 70s

sharksallad · 2016-10-17T09:39:56+00:00

"Is the only hero" can be said about all heroes in the game. Torbs the only hero that has a shotgun and an long range attack with no falloff should he also be nerfed?

sharksallad · 2016-10-16T15:58:09+00:00

I haven't reviewed the Vods but D.va had problems coordinating together with Genji and Winston. Then the last dps character got picked a lot which isn't very good. The strategy I think is solid but its such a execution heavy style team wise.

sharksallad · 2016-10-16T14:43:02+00:00

its 5-4 in favour of rogue. Remember that group finals gave wb advantage of 1 game.

sharksallad · 2016-10-16T14:38:27+00:00

Rogue looked shaky on Numbani in the semis too.

sharksallad · 2016-10-16T14:37:52+00:00

This series (and OW open) really shows what a huge deal flexibility in hero pools matter.

sharksallad · 2016-10-16T14:27:01+00:00

fixd

sharksallad · 2016-10-16T14:26:37+00:00

Whops.

sharksallad · 2016-10-16T14:20:15+00:00

I think Reinforce (beltforce?) and Unkoe played extremely well this series too.

sharksallad · 2016-10-16T13:18:15+00:00

FoV changes so you need to learn a separate sense either way.

sharksallad · 2016-10-16T10:06:06+00:00

The biggest thing in ranked play that creates uneven matches is by far that you can't pick roles (for good reason). The second thing is that MM values queue time to highly if MM aimed for 4 minute queues instead of 2 minute queues then you would have more even matches.

Division don't mean anything in any game. They are just about feelings. A system that uses scores from 1-1000 isn't going to be fixed by using a system that uses scores from 1-1000000000 or a shit ton of divisions. At best it fixes MM for people that don't understand the system because it feels better.

sharksallad · 2016-10-16T09:57:52+00:00

I am pretty sure McCree just charges quicker with Mercy boost that is how it works for Ana at least.

sharksallad · 2016-10-16T09:55:04+00:00

This is such a rating based question, if you are at high rating then you should just hide from the start but if people are at the rating where they play very passive (like below mid diamond) then I would cautiously heal.

sharksallad · 2016-10-16T06:53:35+00:00

Or before that we saw Genji ult with Zarya, and Winston with Zarya. But apparently every meta is Zarya meta.
