News & Discussion The Push Robot runs 20% faster with 3 or more people pushing it

Post image
2.0k Upvotes

Some people claim that the push bot hits max speed at 1 person. But has this actually been tested?

You can finish this push map 18 seconds faster with 3 or more people pushing the Push Bot.

I made precise measurements in a video editor and going from just the first point to the finish dropped from 59.236 seconds down to 49.364 seconds.

59.236 / 49.364 = 1.19998379

The robot runs 20% faster with 3 or more people pushing it. That's less than the 33% faster for payload but a 20% speed boost is not insignificant.

EDIT: Added methodology, a correction, and adjusted language.

Correction: According to datamining from u/_dripping it hits 20% at 4 people and 3 is a little slower at 17.8%. I did notice 3 bots was 2 seconds slower in my data but I assumed it was because of problems with an allied bot leaving the radius in the first half of Colloseo by taking a longer path around a column. The second half had better behavior.

Methodology: I started a custom game on Colloseo and changed the lobby size from 1-0 up to 6-0 filling the extra spots with friendly bots. This is my raw data of the final time on the timer:

1 5:27

2 5:35

3 5:43

4 5:45

5 5:45

6 5:45

The allied bots I was using didn't stick with the push bot in the first half of the track 100% of the time but they were fine in the second half and that's where I made the precise measurement with 1 player and 4 player which came out to exactly 20% more speed.

I did not measure the run speed of the bot without pushing the barricade.

Hey guys, I've been playing Overwatch for around 200 hours, on and off, and lately I've noticed real improvements in my play. Finally, today I made it out of what felt like hell in Silver.

I started the season at Silver 5; now I'm at Gold 5. I know this will seem small to some of the more experienced players, but the world, it feels so good right now. Just wanted to share.

News & Discussion Could you please retire this weekly challenge and distribute the 5000 XP evenly across the other five weekly challenges so that each one grants 6000 XP? Or, you know, at least replace it with another weekly challenge?

Yes, I know that at least a few people are brought to Stadium this way, and that mode is basically already dead, so it probably needs this challenge in particular, but I think they should just cut their losses and stop withholding XP from people who can’t be bothered to sit through extremely long Stadium queues.

News & Discussion Pushbot Speed Discourse

We have recent testing by some clever members of the community: confirming on all push maps, that having more people with the pushbot moves the barrier faster. There has been a mixed response from the community.

  1. It’s always been like that
  2. - every other objective works like that: more = faster
  3. - “I though this was common knowledge”
  4. “This has been disproven many times”
  5. - this is new
  6. - must be a bug
  7. - karq disproved it
  8. - devs official said otherwise

If there are any data miners or people who can confirm how long this has been a feature for, it would be funny to know exactly who was wrong and who is right.

And on very rare occasion, there are people who say “oh that’s cool I didn’t know that,” they are chill

For context, the nano from Sleep here counts as Nano Boost. Whenever you press sleep dart, you get 25% ult charge. You don't even have to hit it either! I got ult like, every minute. Not to mention the 25% attack speed and nano buffs letting you farm ult more, and the 25% overflow from Tactician.

I knew some of the capture points were a little poorly made but this feels significantly worse, is it actively getting worse or has this map always been like this?

News & Discussion I discovered that if there's no support nearby, you can ask Soldier 76 to heal you.

Post image
1.2k Upvotes

Usually, if there are no supports nearby, the hero says, “No supports nearby,” or if you're playing as a support yourself, something like, “I'm the only support.”

But if your team has Soldier 76, your hero will ask for healing because he has the Biotic Field.

Just an interesting, well-thought detail.

It gets awkward when someone asks you for healing, but you just stick the syringe in yourself. Because you choose the syringe perk 90% of the time.

i just started playing the game a few weeks ago. sometimes people would trash talk me saying i suck which is understandable because im new. when i explained to them that im new, they told me to play against ai which i have tried before but matchmaking took me 30 mins before… i lose hope in playing against ai and i just wanna play qp for fun because its supposed to be casual. but someone said that quick play is not for a deadweight like me and its basic etiquette to know that. idk i feel like if people are this toxic in qp, i wouldnt imagine what it would be like in comp

News & Discussion Are all Doomfists arrogant and bad at the game?

20 Upvotes

I try to ban doomfist every single game but if my tank picks doom I won't vote him but at this point I don't even care anymore. Not only do I hate doomfist on the other team as they always dive me and my team rarely backs me up (I know skill issue) but every single one I've had in my team who got on chat at all will be all arrogant like this guy started with "play up with me. I ain't no pussy." And then he proceeded to dive in and die multiple times because he didn't pay attention to the rest of the team being dead. He literally dove in 3 time with only 1 dps alive and then whined that he was "solo" he dove on point and I ran up to spam heal him and I died so he insta died and then was like "why. Am. I. Solo" and I said i was right there with him.but if I can't stay alive against all 5 of them turning to me. And he said "idk man I can't do the dps' job." And I said "well tbh you can't seem to do the tank's job either." As one of the dps left. And then he tried to say he was badass cause he got POtG for killing 2 guys. That's it. It was an awful POtG and yet he was all bragging about how good he was. He was like 11/8 or something (walked away from my pc so I don't remember atm but it wasn't great) we got rolled and he wouldn't stay with the team at all.

This isn't the first Doomfist I've had pull this crap too. Honestly I'm starting to hate people who pick Doomfist on principle.

News & Discussion Here's to you blizzard

24 Upvotes

Been a long time player of this game since overwatch 1, I can genuinely say I purchased this game maybe 6 times back before free to play for friends, family, and when my wife and I switched over to PC.

Its a game that we would play together several times a week and have spent hundreds of dollars and thousands of hours over the years.

We've been playing through every up and down of the life of the game and every controversial change made through the years.

Its a game we were looking forward to showing to our kids one day if it was still around and show them everything we'd accumulated on these 6+ year old accounts.

It's a game that became such a normal part of our lives and when we didnt know what else to do we'd just look at each other and go 'ovarwatch' and enjoy some time wether we were winning or losing.

But according to blizzard my wife was using some kind of cheating software or device that led to a permanent ban on her account wiping out years of progress.

I'd made a post a few weeks back asking if anyone else had experienced this as she was banned the day of a season update in the hopes that maybe a new security system was put in place on blizzards end that was a little too sensitive and it was all just a misunderstanding.

Since then we've tried multiple appeals and by the third one finally got an answer that they believed she was using some kind of unauthorized peripherals and thats what led to the ban.

I still cannot for the life of me fogure out what that could be. She's had the same keyboard, mouse, headset, computer, monitors, etc. For nearly 2 years for the newest item atleast.

She was using OBS to stream and nearly an hour after ending stream the ban came in but its a program nearly everyone uses so it can't possibly be that.

The only programs that were recently downloaded a few days before the ban were minecraft mods through modrinth which seems so unlikely and I can't find any signs of a virus to speak of.

The appeal system has frankly been a horrendous experience with tickets been made but yoibget a response and they close it immediately with it feeling like there is no arguing your case. Its just whatever GM who takes your ticket seemingly acting as judge, jury, and executioner with no evidence of why you were found guilty given.

It feels like most of the time its simply an automated response or a copy paste response.

Really this post is mostly a vent at this point so I'll apologize for that.

At this point we're likely giving up, I won't be continuing to play this game anymore without my wife and we dont want to continue to play if we're always going to be worried of getting banned when we know we did nothing wrong.

I'm sure this post will likely get hate and I won't blame anyone for assuming it's a troll post. Its the internet and this is reddit after all.

This is just the lament of an overwatch veteran and Reinhardt main who planned to play this game up to the last minute before they shut the servers down one day.

Unfortunately it seems like the story ends much sooner than I thought.

Thanks for reading the brick wall of text if you got this far.

Solo shatter a mercy for an early retirement rein main

News & Discussion If you think a hero is broken, just play them

693 Upvotes

There's a constant stream of posts about how <insert hero here> is broken/lobby admin/zero skill, and to that I say; just play them then.

It'll be win/win for you, since one or more of the following will happen:

  • You learn their timing and preferred positioning, making them easier to counter.
  • You discover that you're right, they ARE easy, and you rank up quickly. Feels good!
  • You discover they're actually difficult to play, so stop making stupid whiny posts about them.
