Overwatch

Dreamhack was quite good! Lots of surprises.

Loving this game. Played a ridiculous amount this weekend after I finished building my new box. I stick with Mercy/Reinhardt(must run in my blood) when I want to win. Few other heroes I like to mess around with like Reaper, Solider, and Roadhog but have varying levels of success with. Looking forward to the next season to start so I can see how badly I rank at this.

Just know the lower you rank the more toxic it becomes. Same when you get too high. Like a bell curve of shit

As a dota player with like 8000 games logged I feed off of other player's tears and rage. Fiance' started playing too and is totally hooked. Contemplating buying her a pc for christmas, so I can get her off my shit.

One of the resets was because they didn't have the settings in competitive mode haha.

Read up some some stuff about DPI and mouse settings and my McCree accuracy has gone from 35% to 45-55% as a result. Played a shitload of McCree over the weekend, much to the chagrin of my teammates. Comp is 5x DPS? Sounds like time for McCree. No healer? McCree. Mercy and Ana on tap and no tanks? It's high noon.

After playing a good bit in the tail end of S2 in the low 2000's, I've decided that most bad players choose DPS and that outside of basic comp issues, bad DPS is the cause for most losses. If you take for granted that someone will generally be guilted into playing at least one tank or healer, I think getting really good at a single DPS might be a way to carry yourself out of low ELO. If people even complain for a heartbeat, just mute them.

I haven't read a lot of the earlier posts in this thread, but a real good approach to training aim (after you figure out your mouse settings) is to set up a custom skirmish game with headshot only, 200x damage and fill both teams with Ana as AI (Can't HS). You'll get infinitely more work in practicing aim/headshots in with this approach than playing in comp. Doesn't help a ton with with tracking Pharah/Z axis or getting work in on rolls/melees/special moves, but it's been super helpful for me.

I think most pros recommend 8 to 10 inches per 360 which is what I do. 4 In game sensitivity and some low dpi,900?

Yeah - my original was like 1800 by 15. I'm not sure how I hit anything. It is definitely more difficult to jump a 360 now - I think I need more of a surface to work with.

I just do a lot of fast mouse lifting

I use the max DPI on my mouse (5700) and 2.0-2.25 in game sens. I also max out the weight of my mouse for Overwatch.

What do you guys use for actual buttons? I just use whatever's stock, but was considering binding melee or something to mouse (naga). Interestingly, I read somewhere that the Vindication Lucio, DSPanky, plays with right click as jump.

I use right click for jump in every FPS. I find it weird how they went away from that by default actually. Maybe because of Counter Strike, not sure. Melee I have as one side mouse button, and the secondary attack is another.

I bind melee to mouse, and move regularly-used abilities off E. For example, discord orbs are much better on RMB because you can strafe right and apply them simultaneously.

I bind melee to m4 or m5 on my death adder. Pressing V feels very unnatural

I bought a giant like 3 foot mousepad and turned sensitivity way down a few weeks ago. Helped with aim a bit, but I've got problems with not being able to scoot close enough to my desk. My arm is at a strange angle unless I crank my chair height all the way up, and then my keyboard is too low etc.

Keep in mind you can change individual mouse sens per hero as well. I prefer a much lower sens for general fps games but like reinhardt I always have it relatively high.

Melee I use a side-mouse button as well. V is very hard to press while maintaining movement for me.

Most pro's are 1000 dpi to 400 dpi, big variance in ingame sens. I'm one of the few on stupid low sens, at 3.5 in game and 600 dpi. My friends get a giant kick at watching my 180/360's cause it takes like 2 or 3 flicks to actually get it but I make it happen. Iddqd is at 400 dpi, and 7 sens, so relatively the same.

As far as binds go, I have my general binds as normal. My Mouse4 is Melee. Mwheelup is a secondary +crouch. I don't play lucio, but my friend who does lucio main has his mwheel to both crouch/jump. I'm also debating swapping tracers pulse bomb to right click instead of Q. Also might make similar changes to sombra whenever I give her a fleshed out chance.
