I see its the my opinion thingie. Nvm then
Anyway Hook has 2 LoS checks that both have to go through. The hit itself and then before the reel in starts. Between those 2 you can break LoS. People just belief it should break of while they are reeled in if the Hogg is out of LoS. (lots of complaints about that ingame) Because of the new reel in mechanic almost no obstacle can save you now once both LoS checks are done. And that creates some bugs for the Hogg. So Hooks should get even deadlier once those are fixed. Didn't experience any LoS bugs and saw Roadhogg almost every game.
Winston is part of the dive comp though and with all the nerfs to the counter dive comp. You should rather expect nerfs to him rather then buffs. Especially since Sombra is now a possibility as she is weak vs mass tank comps. Winston does more then fine though. Just don't play him into a Roadhogg or Zen or 76. And those 3 are around alot now.

Hey I respect your opinion FeyFey.
Roadhog's hooks doesn't feel as bullshit around corners and such, but also I'm getting killed more consistently after a hook.
The old hook sometimes I can get away from dying by jumping backwards, but only if I wasn't pulled directly infront. There are times when I was pulled to him but a few feet away. It usually happens if the roadhog happened to be backpedalling while hooking.

The old hook distance varied depending on which character was pulled in. Junkrat, Lucio and Ana would always be pulled far enough away to survive the hit, while Zen and Soldier would always be pulled close enough to oneshot. There was a glitch/bug you could abuse to pull people closer, by turning to the side and sidestepping away as you pulled people in. But that was more inconsistent, especially at lower levels, as you had to retarget your enemy quickly again and align the headshot (not to mention that with the old hook, you could land just about anywhere in his field of view, making it difficult to guess where to aim).
That was one of the frustrating elements of him I'm glad got fixed, even if it means more people will easier get oneshotted by him now.

I was under the impression that the hook was constantly checking for line of sight, and not just as it hits (In testing videos, hook could land enough on enemies to count as a hit and deal damage, but then release as it checks for LOS again once they've jumped around the corner). But I guess I could be completely wrong on that. If that's true, then it was correct for him to pull me around the corner after the hook hit and he got pushed around it.

yeah that were the 2 LoS checks I mentioned. That were explained everywhere by Blizzard.
I didn't expect teams above 4k, to go Rein/D.Va less. Happened every second game today. Luckily for the enemy team only, since I am a Rein Main now I guess. But the "Ana hit her nuke you win games" were rather boring. Especially if you unlocked Nano Visor vs nothing to stop it after a few minutes.
Also Tracer seems to have won the patch alongside Hogg and Soldier. Tank players lost, since they will have to play untanky D.Va now against a few comps.

Dunno about you, but Zarya feels 10 times more useful after the last patch than she used to. I'm actually doing quite well with her now again. Especially on KOTH maps. There's always so much damage in the air that you can soak up bubbles and charge the beam incredibly easily.

S76 still ruins the game, I maintain that nerfing D.va without nerfing 76 was incredibly dumb of Blizzard. Game is playable now though, so that's good.

Can't wait for the day when people start understanding that the trick to beating Phara mercy combo is by shooting at the mercy, not the Phara.
|
weird QQ, but i find it pretty lazy not to use a Swedish voice for Torbjörns voice lines. They are really crappy interpretations of a swedish accent ^_^. I guess this goes for alot of the other characters aswell, even if i dont personally know.
|
I would expect Tjorb to atleast curse in swedish. But the earliest releases are all heavy on english except Bastion.
Freaking Reinhard cheaters. I wonder if Blizzard will manage to not mess the next Reinhard legendary skin up and have shield damage shown. But maybe they wanna do a tripple out of it.

I was at 3100+
I am down to 2600
Down over 500. I am so fucking. I dont know what to do. I just cannot get anything done. I put so much fucking time into this game and I am still stuck in this fucking mediocrity. Why the fuck do I not improve? Why do I not get better at the things I'm passionate for?

I've started to realize that the mmr system in this game is fucked. One can't say he's a "diamond player" just because he's in diamond, because your mmr might easily swing up or down with as much as 500. There have been people in top 500 who have gone on to losing streaks to below 3000 mmr. Your individual skills in this game can't carry you unless you're a progamer in platinum. If you get a bad teammate, you're going to lose.
|
from my experience you can carry up to 3 people in Overwatch, just got to play the right classes at the right time against the right thing. Usually tanks carry the easiest, since a dps can be focused by the entire enemy team and be shut down. A tank can still carry in that situation.
And while you are improving so is everyone else. So just keeping your rank means you are improving alot faster then most people are. Also no reason to get discouraged by dropping ranks, they don't represent how good you are. You'll get better by playing alot and seeing different situations.
Just keep going on and you'll get higher and higher. Even if you have some lows sometimes, can't always be on top of your game.

I think a big problem is that people that fluctuate a lot are too consistent in their play and if stars don't line up well enough their inflexible playstyle punishes them. This why so many people can't play anything but meta comps or can't play meta comps well. This a big reason why one tricks like Hanzo and Tracer mains can get away with it, because their play is more flexible even when playing them in subpar situations.

Hook 2.0 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

diamond the land of grief

I've stopped playing DVa and Lucio because I'm super sick of them and have since dropped from 3100 to below 2500. Not playing the no-skill characters has made me learn the hard way I have absolutely no skill. It's so fucking frustrating to be this bad at the game after this many hours into it. I haven't improved one goddamn bit. Just once I want to feel like I'm actually fucking okay at a game.
|
should stop thinking everything you are good at has no skill involved. And you probably just dropped because you had no Lucio in your games, or mostly ones that just go on Lucio because you need a Lucio.

Do you want a vod review? or like, a spectate or something? I could probably give you advice on what to improve if you want.

I like how people that don't play Lucio can now experience the dread of hitting a stationary target with all they got and they still can't outdamage the healing it gets. And unlike Tjorb Turret, Bastion can wave Genji hello as he tries to slice him to pieces with his ult and Bastion simply counterheals it with a bit of healing support.
But hey it made me revisit that Carbot cartoon about the Hellbat after I saw Genjis trying their heart out to kill Bastions today. Your not the counter anymore Genji ~

I do wonder: What's the point of ptr exactly if Blizzard doesn't listen to the community anyways?
Blizz: "Hei guys. Let's test out this new version of Bastion" Everyone: "This is the most retarded thing ever" Blizz: "Great! Let's put him on live!"
