so someone ELI5

 

How does this all work? Do we pick our teams or is it random?

When does the cup Start?

 

I need to find a place around here where I can get some stuff for the Boy, he really loves his FG shirt, and wants some others, and if I can find a cup Ball somewhere thats not 80$ (This country.... i tell ya... goddamn tariffs), I will grab it for him.

 

If only there was someone from the country where the cup balls are being made... 😏

Sorry for the delay, I'm paid up!

This is the kind of thing I was on about - having visibility of who characters are utilised best in which areas and which to pick from.

 

I know it's a bit basic but for example I'm happy to sit in the section of flanker because two of my preferred mains are in there, plus I'm happy to get better at Tracer and Reaper too.

 

Alright so here's a slightly more in depth version of what I see as the forms of utility available in OW (one hero can fit under multiple archetypes):

 

Defensive Ults | Can prevent a wipe or at least counter offensive ults

Fucking Hot Healing Chick!, Zenyatta, Lucio, Moira

 

CC Ults | Combo with attacking ults or shut down an enemy's push

Mei, Zarya, Reinhardt,

 

Anti-Flanker | Protects support and vulnerable DPS from flankers

McCree, Soldier, Winston, Symmetra, Torbjorn, Junkrat, Mei, Moira

 

Flanker | Sow chaos among the enemy support or get picks from afar to make it 6v5

Tracer, Genji, Winston, Widowmaker, Hanzo, Dave's Spirit Animal, Ana, Sombra, Reaper, Zenn's orbs

 

Protection | Shields the squishies and soaks up major inc. damage/ults

Rein, Winston's bubble, D.Va, Zarya, Orisa,

 

DPS/Offensive Ults | Melt down shields and kill shit

Tank damage - Reaper, Dave's Spirit Animal, Junkrat, Soldier, Bastion

Hanzo, McCree, Doomfist, Pharah, Genji, Tracer, Torbjorn, D.Va's ult

 

Don't really have a name for this additional/optional category, but it basically includes characters who change the tempo of the game and allow you to push or recover: Sombra's EMP, Lucio, Ana's boost, Orisa, Symmetra's teleporter

 

My suggestion is that rather than trying to get proficient with multiple characters in a single category, it's optimal to have 2-3 roles you can fill, so if someone is lighting it up as a flanker one night, you can switch to anti-flank or tank, with no loss of effectiveness

Lolz!!! At least you finally made it here!

If you re-read I said better DPS players need to stick with them. You're assuming you don't fit in that bracket?

 

If you're gonna try placating me with flattery, at least make it believable. Put me on DPS and I've just wasted between 8-20 minutes of your life. 😔😔

Also on that note, just realised I haven't posted on here either. 

 

1. Fucking Hot Healing Chick!

2. Zenyatta 

3. Soldier 76

4. Dave's Spirit Animal/Reinhardt

5. McCree/Bastion

6. Mei 

 

Also, in re team comp, the way I look at it is that certain utilities need to be accounted for rather than specific roles. The examples of characters aren't exhaustive:

 

1. Defensive Ult (zen, Fucking Hot Healing Chick!, lucio)

2. CC Ult (mei, rein, zarya, winston)

3. Anti-flanker (soldier, moira, symmetra, torb, piggie)

4. Flanker (tracer, genji, Winston, reaper) 

5. Protection (rein, dva, orisa, zarya)

6. Offensive Ult + DPS (hanzo, reaper, McCree)

 

This obviously isn't a comprehensive list, but I think that'll give us more flexibility and let people play around with more characters while still bringing utility to the team.

I hate saying this but if Didds ain't on or Rich to that matter we don't have another Fucking Hot Healing Chick! to balance the team out.

 

Gee, thanks Lee...😒

How's your PS4 now?

Sorted. Did a quick (slow AF) reinstall and it's purring like a kitten. My foot's seen better days though...

Thanks for the warm reception all. Looking forward to disappointing you with my questionable tactical decisions and mediocre aim.

Hi all,

I'm Hammy, Rob's rich complexioned brother. I've played R6 and Overwatch with a few of you guys already, and it was suggested I join the forum, so here we are. 

My hours are a bit weird because the time zone but I'm usually up for a few rounds most evenings.
