While this is still mostly accurate the only thing he doesn't talk about is the maximum ms of compensation allowed. At the end he complains about having 800ms ping would give you the shooters advantage of people under cover but the maximum OW allows you to compensate is 200ms. So anything above is only a disadvantage for the lagged player. I also somewhat wish they just increased the default server refresh rate to 60 to allow the beta testers to try that out as default. I didn't know some servers were hosted on AWS and I wonder if the lower default outbound refresh is a way to try and limit the costs of the cloud servers.
It SEEMS to favor matching you against other teams of 5 or 6, but I don't think it's always the case. We've gone up against the same team of people already 2 or 3 times on different days + managed to run into another friend group of 6 haha
I really do hope they introduce a solo queue. I feel like everybody is trying to play this game like they played TF2, whereas in TF2 you can go in solo and make some plays - even in competitive (but not as much as pubs obviously) while in OWalmosteverything is capable of 1v1 and you teleporting up top as reaper when there's 2 people up there is literally only going to kill you and you're not going to do damage. There's a lot of people that think they can win the game for the team and it's just not the case 90% of the time.
Strange. It's the exact opposite for me. I'm a classic rager. But I've noticed with Overwatch that (except for 1 time) when something dumb happens or I fall down a hole I didn't know existed on a new map or the objective ends just as my ultimate loads up or whatever other bs happens I just laugh. Fast respawn time makes it feel less consequential I guess. What are you raging at? Perceived hero imbalance or? Just genuinely curious. I've only been playing for a few hours so I'm still a newb. Seems like a few of the attack heroes are a bit ridiculous to me. Whoever AoE's with his revolvers is retarded imo.
1 sided stomps where your team can't do anything. The hanzo and widow super combo on your team for attack. Mercy and reaper ults. My own dumb mistakes. There's plenty to rage at.
