    Genji is hard to play really well

    Like the skill is actually apparent

    the great genjis wear their skill on their sleeves....

    using his melee dash not to damage you, but to boost all over around you turning you around and around... and using wall jump to gain height via triangle jumping all over the dang place..... Those are the nightmare genjis..... they come at you from angles and speeds you just don't see in many fps-s

    Its embarrassing when i try to play genji.... they make it look so simple.

    Finally got a play of the game.

    On Junkrat.

    After my PUG team of Hanzos and Widowmakers was so uncoordinated and flailing around in their inability to capture a point that I said "fuck playing support, I'm going to have fun losing and Junkrat it up for the last minute or so".

    Killed two enemies and a turret with grenade spam, killed two more with the following rip tire.

    Team still lost.

    "Pyrrhic victory of the game..."

    I'm getting real sick of random people telling others how to play the game.

    No, dude, I just watched you stream ahead right into the line of fire as Zenyatta a half a dozen times. You don't get to tell that other dude that he shouldn't be playing Junkrat because 'we need to push'. Seriously.

    I swear more than half of the P'sOTG I see come from the losing team.

    I saw a POTG the other day with a Zennata where he threw out an orb of harmony, then an orb of discord and then circled around pushing the payload for a few seconds. Got no eliminations and didn't even use his left or right click.

    Best POTG ever!

    In some of the pubs I played recently that damn well could have gotten him gold on objective time.

    Hah!

    Last night my buddy had a similar potg.

    He was Hanzo, fires one random arrow and apparently killed someone who had just started an Ult (though we didn't see it or where the arrow even went!). The rest of the potg was him staring at the ground cause his work called. :biggrin:

    Do we know about additional maps/characters and possible ETAs? I know it just came out - but curious nonetheless.

    The Brawl sucks this week... what's the point of the increased cooldowns?

    The point is that we're all soldiers now

    Also considering the halved health it would become a "whose team is better at helix rockets" fest w/o the increased cooldown. Well, even more so than it already is, anyways.

    it seems like it would have been better to increase the pulse rifle damage (to make it more lethal, in line with other assault-rifle-y shooters?) but i bet they were too lazy to just increase the pulse rifle damage instead of increasing his damage globally

    Ohhh, I didn't realize they halved the HP. I only played 2 rounds of Ilios before Battle.net crapped out last night. That makes more sense then. Still not too fond of it, though.

    I never touch this game's Brawl mode. To my knowledge it does not give a loot crate in the same vein of Hearthstone Tavern Brawls giving you one free card pack for your first Brawl win.

    And without the loot incentive, I look at its crazy rules which don't really seem appealing on their own compared to the normal game and shrug. At least some of the Hearthstone Brawls have fun merits of their own when compared with normal Constructed and Arena. I don't see the same game play novelty or appeal in Overwatch Brawls yet; it looks more like a tacked on hero swap gimmicks mode intended to flesh out the mode selection screen then something that brings anything genuinely unique to the game.

    Or the guy that spams the attack the objective button, runs in solo, dies, then bitches about how the team is too passive and no one is backing him up. It's like, yeah, we didn't back you up because we were respawning, on account of all the 5v6s you have been forcing.

    You still earn XP in Brawl, just AI levels instead of quick play for some stupid reason.

    AI levels?

    Sev: Your gameplay is the most heavily yomi based around. Usually you look for characters that allow you to force guessing situations for big dmg. Even if the guess is mathematically nowhere near in your favor lol. You're happiest when you have either a 50/50, 33/33/33 or even a 75/25 situation to go crazy with. And you will take big risks to force those situations to come up.

    As in, the same amount of XP you'd gain for queueing into a match vs. AI

    You earn significantly less XP playing co-op against AI, than you do playing Quick Play. I should've said "amounts" instead of levels :P

    Add like 5-10 people you recognize/would enjoy getting to know better, and then use the built in battle.net feature to start adding more folks you have in common with those new people on your list.

    All games are better with friends :+1:

    Yeah the lack of any kind of incentive (even a minor XP bonus) for the playing the Brawl is something I find odd. Not that I think it is necessary exactly, but it just seems like the kind of "no duh" thing that would be there. It's omission I find bizarre.

    I have so much fun with Tracer.

    I rarely feel like I can pick her because usually I'm going tank/support/someone else is already a Genji or Tracer, but there is nothing more fun to me than diving around the back and causing mass panic by poking at people before dashing off.

    I am a terrible person.

    So, Microsoft is talking about bringing KBAM compatibility to Xbone in the coming months.

    I'm kind of torn. I'm afraid that if it does go through it will do things both good and bad.

    Good - KBAM means that control on Xbone meets parity with PC, and balance changes to console don't have to be drastically different, for Xbone, at least.

    Bad - Creates a division between KBAM and controller users that could definitely become a huge issue.

    For some reason I thought I was in the E3 thread... still sounds like a good idea, though. I mean it's a good idea if you're going to take advantage of using KBAM.

    The control mediums are just way too different. The whole Widow thing pretty well illustrates that. She wasn't an issue on console but was a terror on PC. Unless their is some other difference that comes down to control method.

    Basically I can't think of a better way to murder the console communities than to have the general audience try and controller it up against folks using mice and their increased accuracy. It will quickly lead to a feeling of unfairness and that's when you lose folks.

    Wouldn't matchmaking take care of the imbalance though? If KBM gives you a big advantage, you get a few easy wins, but then your rating will go up and you will either go against other KBM users or pro controller users. Average players that use a controller will stay about the same rating, and only get matched with other controller users or KBM users that are below average.
