Overwatch

Playing Overwatch at 60 Hz is rough. I am old with slow reflexes and I found that going from 60 to 144 Hz was game changing. On the rare occasion I dip to ~100 I can feel it immediately. It’s one of those changes that once you make it, you can’t ever go back. You’ll question how you ever managed to use 60 Hz to begin with.

I notice it most in the menus which run at 60 fps

Some good games on:

The dumpstering of Brigitte happened today. Her armor packs no longer give armor and don't overheal. What is the point of her now? Jeff Kaplan and co epic balancing in action. lol

I'm waiting on Jeff to trot out "Bring the Player, Not the Hero" any week now, and then begin the homogenization of the game like they did with WoW.

I feel bad for the voice actress, voicing a hated character. lol

I finally almost caught up with the games. This whole month was alot of fun to watch. After all that time of teamwork-wins-all it was cool to see crazy individual plays be effective again.

Was tracer for a couple weeks then genjis started doing crazy things.

Wait, when I queue for Arcade, I can chose to never play 2CP? Where's that at?

How do they know I don't like 2CP when I can't even acknowledge to the game that I don't like it?

For the life of me, I could never figure out why I would pin some people and not others. This clip reveals the secret:


I haven't punted someone yet trying to pin with the left side of Rein's body. Ignore your crosshair and go by Rein's model.

That is pretty damn interesting. What a cool find.

Nice. That always pissed me off...I would hit what felt like dead center and they would just boop safely to the side.

Best buy had a very nice hp pavillion 16 gaming labtop on sale for 750 so i impulse bought it. Finnally got to see what the fuss over 144hz is about now tho i dislike pub aving to game on a tiny screen it deg improves your ability.

My question is for guys who are used to the high refresh monitors on OW. I set it at display rate limited for rr and 144hz in options. Yet in game it says its always at like 155 and i assume thats the cap? Just seems odd on a 144hz display..

Also for others with labtop experience. Ive only tried ultra settings so far as its just a 1660ti so t might not be able to max frames on elite i suspect. But will say limiting frame rate to 150 on say high ñet the gpu use less power and run cooler? Or does that not make a difference?

I had not paid attention to labtops the past few years. Its amazing how much performance you get in the 45w range now for a decent price.

I'm two weeks behind on owl, but it warms my heart to hear the words "Chengdu comp". Imagine such a wacky team making their own meta.

So they gutted Orisa/Sigma for OWL today. Fuck OWL and Fuck Blizzard. I hate playing Reinhardt.

Dang, this thread was on Page 2. This game is pretty dead nowadays. I usually see the same people all the time in Mystery Heroes and that is the most popular Arcade mode.
