Bioshock boys: It is time to see if Dead Space is hypeworthy

[silkforcalde]

Orisa does seem too strong atm.

I'm torn on my feelings towards RH. Because he is strong as hell, but can generally be tamed by DVA or Orisa. If you play poorly into a good hog though, it's game over.

i just don't feel like hook is a fun mechanic to play against. also orisa's javelin is on too short of a CD IMO.

Can't charge her, hook her or knock her back with rock/boop/whatever(if she has CD). She can knock you back or send you off an edge with jer javelin. She can't be slept in ult. She can eat grenades and many ults/abilities with Javelin Spin. Javelin spin even offers a speed boost if she want to run down a healer or dps... all while having a powerful main weapon. It's bananas really.

yeah playing against a good Orisa is kind of a nightmare right now. i know people on reddit are going more in on hog but there's a reason why i mentioned Orisa first.

 

[obscure/renegade]

Orisa needs a nerf, an increase for that jav CD (per @silkforcalde) would be pretty solid.

And IMO either no one should be sleep-able for an ult, or everyone can be.

Hog IMO doesn't need a nerf. A well-played Hog is a handful, but shit man, a well-played Hammy is far more frustrating IMO.

hog nerfs are coming. that's already been confirmed. they did the hotfix earlier in the season to nerf hog a bit by buffing other counters but they said they couldn't hotfix the fixes to hog that they wanted without a full patch which will come at the end of the season.

D.Va is really good against WB if you're tanking and WB is frustrating you.

Aw, I hate that. He is so much fun.

RE: Hammy, that's the only tank I can counter him with. I have managed to catch them with a charge and earthshatter, but it's not enough.

I tend to side with you about Roadhog. But supposedly the issues are brought up more in the high ranked community. I'm not beyond Silver, so I can't speak to what they're experiencing apparently.

I do know that watching people get repeatedly tossed over a bridge by a good hog player is hilarious though.

 

[Downset]

Also, if you're playing against a hog without an Ana... I don't know what your team is even doing.

Yeah, my perspective of having a whopping eight days back in the game is likely skewing my experience.

Almost done with Miles Morales. Mad fun. Defo not worth 50 dollars but I think at 25 it's some good entertainment. Those new swinging animations are so goddamn good.

always swap to ana if they have a hog

 

[silkforcalde]

anyone tried the new limited time event in OW2? could be interesting, i'll give it a shot in a few

 

[silkforcalde]

it's fucking terrible

 

[crotch]

lol i haven’t had time what’s it about

Yeah what is it?

 

[crotch]

bout to check it out now i’ll report back if silky doesn’t first

 

[silkforcalde]

it's a FFA deathmatch where the characters all have new abilities but the character selection is all over the place, there are armor packs all around and ult charge items

 

[Downset]

I hate this skin btw

Overwatch 2’s new mode gives you godlike powers for the next two weeks

Battle for Olympus kicks off Jan. 5

www.polygon.com

edit: nvrmd, you just played it.

 

[crotch]

@Downset it would honestly be quicker to google their new abilities in the ffa. pharah can move during her ult and for 15s shoots bursts of 3 rockets

 

[silkforcalde]

lucio gets extra health and infinite ammo, also his knockback stuns if you hit people into walls with it, that happens outside of ult too

 

[crotch]

it’s p fun

having to secure like 300 final blows with a couple heroes sucks

deathmatch is too poorly balanced and this is no different

yeah i like the widow stone ability but otherwise except for when she’s ulting she has 0 survivability with all those tanks running around
