Overwatch (New Blizzard Franchise - FPS ) - Page 20 - Video Games

I think my biggers problems are more basic FPS skills like map awareness, accuracy, and reflex.

I am also just charging the bow and moving slowly too much.

TLDR: I really suck at FPS.

Will anyone play this with me even though I'll be obviously awful? I don't really want to buy it and not have anyone to play with.

You can change it so that you can heal one guy and glide to another.

It's normally pretty fun to play with new players because it reduces your average MMS, which means I'm playing against worse players than usual.

My new favorite thing to do for the lulz in pubby games.

Bastion defending point B on Volskaya. Get on one of those moving platforms in the air and set up as a turret. Float past the offense trickling in and mow down as many as you see each lap around the map. Bastion drive-bys!

As a Mercy player, I really enjoyed this play of the game:

I don't get the hate at all. Reinhart is fun as hell to play, the key is stacking all of his abilities + ult.

Charge their tank, ultimate, swing 2x, then use his ranged attack, and then back up with your shield. Usually always good for 2-3 kills and possibly more.

People have done that tactic with multiple offensive Torbjorns. Once they get their ult it gets ridiculous

my favorite pub derp strategy thing for a stretch was posting up with multiple bastions and reinhardts on the right side of the bridge defending the A point on Anubis. It ruins people. helps to have a mercy and a DPS to cover flanks

Sample size of maybe a dozen games now, have played both sides, but have yet to see a six man Torbjorn defending team lose.

If opposition goes 1 sniper or 1 reinhardt, it'd lose. Though I admit it's fun to try.

Ah, PS4 here but seems there are quite a few PC players in here sharing screen names. any of these people with #1234 at the end of their name are on PC.

My guess it's probably the harshest platform to solo on, though. Also PC players have to deal with regions? no idea, but I see it mentioned.

Is the game a tiny bit slower paced on Console? I think I am going to play on console if that's the case. Seeing people twitching 180 in air is driving me nuts. I could do that 20 years ago with my hunter but now... lol. I'd never hit anything.

I have to disagree. People have tried to counter with Junkrats, Reinhardt's, snipers, Pharahs. In theory these things are counters but I think six well placed turrets crushes. Limited experience but it seems incredibly hard to beat.

Snipers work because they outrange the turret. Reinhardt works if he moves in slowly because the turret doesn't have enough dps to stop the soldier behind him.

I have been drinking so I want to be careful about annoying you. But 6 Torb is fairly similar to bastion being a problem. Or bastion on the platforms on Volskaya. It's just a thing you get comfortable beating.
