when flats roots for the hog player. not because he likes hog, but because he dislikes orisa that much.

[@johnnyawsm8942]

Like everyone else, its orisa...

[@rishabh5750]

he also looks like hog

[@BlueDrew10]

And Mauga. Mauga is just so boring... I'm a Hog frequenter, and I'll admit he should never be meta because he's low skill. But Orisa and Mauga are even lower skill AND they're boring to play. Especially Mauga. They have no business being anywhere close to meta, yet here we are.

[@Momo_pstat4]

@@mattevans4377 i was more ok with tracer gengi, cause the comp sorta forces a team to play pure dive, which is so fun to both play and watch. Tracer echo was iffy, but tracer sojurn i just despise. The comp gets to do whatever you want it to be. Wanna be more brawly? Go orisa + moira. You wanna be a bit more dive? Run lucio kiri, and a tank with some mobility (since soj’s slide and range lets her basically be a dive hero if you wanted). You wanna bunker up/ poke? Tracer weirdly has the range to do it/ can break bunkers, so run an orisa + bap + kiri. The dps core is so flexible, it just lets you slot it into wherever you want it to be slotted into.

[@bazzfromthebackground3696]

Literally this team comp was *"Look over here."* Hog and Bastion were the distraction, because if you took your eyes off them you got mowed down. That let Moira and Tracer constantly take either flank. Lucio stuck with the distractions to get them around them map faster.

@@ballisticbullet428 Yeah I’m guessing you’re in low rank (below master) and what ppl don’t understand is that even though you could swap they could also adapt to you and output a team play to make your pick work. Ppl are just dumb overall. When it gets to something more complex than shooting what you see you loose 80% of them already 😂

[@thanoswalles1352]

I think one tricking in overwatch is gigabased, out skilling the counter is 10x more satisfying than switching off.

[@ceene5327]

i absolutely love teams like this. i get bored watching the same team comp over and over. this makes it really exciting. i think they should implement a competitive tournament with 5v5 random heroes retaining the 1-2-2 format. it would make games really interesting seeing how high skill players adapt to what they are given. it would be more entertaining allow devs recognize balancing requirements.

[@Adelemphii]

Honestly as someone who plays roadhog (ever since ow2, I haven't just had the drive to enjoy the german man anymore...) somewhat decently, I don't like flashpoint. Other than my personal feelings of "walking simulator" and "it feels like it lasts for forever", I honestly think some points are too open and make it hard for me to make the most of hog's kit because I get poked out before I'm even close enough to get something done. The woes of a lucio player on roadhog.

[@notgryphon]

Is this what people mean when they talk about a damage comp?

[@JohnSmith-dz2dc]

Can someone explain the use of “special move” instead of “ultimate”?

[@GeoffronX]

My favorite character is the reaper guy. he is very powerfull. special move, honestly is one of the best in the game and so he comes equipped with these two revolvers and only takes about 3 or 4 shots to actually execute a kill so it comes really in handy specially when you come from the side.

[@draunt7]

Some characters have combo's that are part of their kit. Think Roadhog's 1 shot hook combo.

[@slainoncod]

@@GeoffronXit’s shotguns, his ult is nowhere near the best in the game. everything counters it. dva defense matrix, sigma rock, ana sleep, sigma can also absorb it, widow can easily headshot snipe you because you can’t really move when popping it. reaper q is really only viable in low ranks because low ranked players aren’t smart enough to look for it. anything past plat and you’re getting sat down the moment you even THINK about pressing Q.

Hot take: every character added to OW2 has been ass with the exception of Junker Queen, Rammatra, and Venture

[@ceene5327]

yes and no. i wouldnt call them ass. they are all fun in there own regard but have flawed design. kiriko: was given too much powerful utility. illari: has wonky primary healing and a overpowered dps ultimate. lifeweaver: literally a heal bot and too long cooldowns, with abilities that dont match the play style that this primary and secondary fire ask for. sojourn was a hit imo. mauga: stupid ultimate, and i dont like his hitbox or movement

[@ink3487]

​@@ceene5327sojourn was the biggest miss only mauga comes close. Good in every situation youd ever put her in. Massive burst damage completely untelegraphed. Free AoE damage for building an insanely strong ult that only requires good aim. Bad positioning isnt punished because slide is one of the freest escapes ever. Shes way too strong and way too versatile for the only thing she demands from the player being aim.

[@ceene5327]

@@ink3487 biggest miss is wrong. yes her kit is powerful and versatile. but i dont think heroes should be designed based with intentions of flaws and counter play, this should naturally happen as people learn about the character. the idea when designing sojourn suited her character and her abilities coordinates with her other abilities. without implementing inherently overpowered ability concepts like invulnerability or abilities like swift step. instead a piercing concept was new and interesting, along with an ultimate that utilizes an existing ability rather than random garbage like cage fight.

[@marsss-03]

@@ceene5327 Life Grip is probably one of my least favorite things added in the game ever, zero way to do anything about it if the LW is miles away (which he should be) and it just feels so cheap because you can deny a kill from someone that (probably) had to aim and position themselves correctly just by pointing your face at your teammate's direction. Petal has potential at least its not as cheap as Life Grip or lame as Rejuvenating Dash and your teammates can get creative with it like that one Rein in bogur's video that used it to pin a Pharah.
