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.

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 love Juno muah muah muah muah

I’ve started using her more now she’s a healer. I didn’t play her that much before I’m not sure what long term Sombra players feel about the change

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.

Why can one team interact with it like it's still a character, but the other can't? Make this make sense to me.

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.

This has been every match I’ve played this week. Mind you, I am gold 1 (now gold 2 because we got bent over the table this match) and I solo queue.

The fact that this is even possible is questionable enough but when it’s literally every single match and somehow the bronze is on my team every time (not really relevant but still aggravating) like.. what am I supposed to do with this?

I went 24-9 with 18k damage in an 11 minute match and it still didn’t matter because our bronze tank kept trying to 1v6 the enemy.

Like I get I’m not the best player ever and I’m okay with that but I would love a balanced match for once. Because I took a break because the matchmaking was putting me in high elo lobbies, came back and the problem is worse than it was when I took a one month break.

Stomp or be stomped, and I’d be fine if it was once in a blue moon but the fact I get these wide ranges every single match for weeks as a solo queue player is actually messed up.

Anyone else getting stuck in hell hole rank range matches like this consistently?

ETA: this was open queue, so our bronze player had the option of swapping, two other players on our team even offered to play tank instead so he could play support but the guy never responded and kept doing his own thing.

I know I queued at an off time, mornings and late night is when I have time to play as I work in the afternoons and evenings so I know that can also be a factor but I feel like that’s kinda besides the point?

Regardless I’m glad I’m not the only one having this experience with the matchmaking, it’s been kinda crap since they introduced drives but I feel like this season has been particularly one sided.

I don’t mind losing, it happens and it’s nothing to be upset about but when it’s roll or be rolled no one is having fun, I certainly don’t have fun just straight plowing enemy teams, because where’s the joy in that?

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.

Ye siblings cinema trip? Post Talon downtime? Not sure what to caption it; I'm an artist, not a writer, lol.

A little backstory: this started as just an Anran fan art since she's my main, but I kept visualising Wuyang there, and it played on my mind til I caved and drew him too, which was quite enjoyable in the end.

^{As always, no AI was used whatsoever; I used my brain instead. Also, whether or not this site thinks it can opt anything it wants into being scraped for training data, the fact is I do not give consent to this, or any of my art, being used for AI training.}

is anyone else just ecstatic that sigma finally gets to be free with sombra :D

As you can see, his max health keeps increasing, and if you pick up the Juggernaut card, you get 15% dmg per 100 bonus max life, which results in this.

I hate how the "it's just qp" argument is used to justify ruining the match for others

Me (Ram) has both feet inside the point, but as you can see, im not "on point".

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?

Let's start with the obvious disclaimer. The role is support, not healing. The purpose of the game is to capture the objective, how you do it doesn't make a difference as long as it's done.

There are a lot of reasons why there is a "heal" diff that people don't recognize.

One big one is the OTHER TEAM HAS AN ANA. Her whole utility is decreasing the healing of the other team.

The other big one is the other team has burst damage heroes. Widowmaker, Junkrat, Roadhog. As much as I'd love to, I can't heal a sniper bullet between your eyes.

A third one is both of your DPS and perhaps your tank are flankers and pick up med kits along the way. There won't be much healing if Genji is taking care of himself.

Fourth is there are a lot of self-healers on the team. A team that consists of Roadhog, Soldier 76, and Mei is going to have a LOT less healing.

So before you say heal diff, did either team meet any of these qualifications?

Are there any others you can think of?

When you're at a point in a match where you need to change tactics but you need something the average player doesn't know how to deal with, what do you pick? who's your "knowledge check" character?

In my case I've noticed that the average player has a lot of trouble with a decently played winston, especially if you swap from something like Rammatra or Domina.

Which character do you use and how to disrupt the flow and advancement of the other team because they just don't know how to deal with it?

It’s very useful for your squishies that can get one shot. It’s just something I’ve been noticing for a while not being done. If you do it I’ll always appreciate you. Those that already do it, thank you so much.

I went back and watched a King's Row replay because I was convinced our Ana had completely ignored me.

From my POV, I was half HP near hotel, asking for healing, and got finished off by a D.Va. It genuinely looked like one heal would've saved me.

Then I watched Ana's POV.

She'd lost line of sight the moment I went around the corner. Meanwhile, a Tracer had been harassing her for basically the entire fight. She was trying to stay alive, landed a sleep dart, and was actually doing a pretty decent job considering what was happening.

I had absolutely no idea. To me, she'd just been standing somewhere behind me doing nothing.

And it made me think about how much information we're missing when we die.

The killcam is great at showing how an enemy killed you. But it doesn't explain what was happening to the rest of your team.

Imagine if, during the respawn timer, you could rewind the last five seconds from a nearby teammate's perspective. Not just supports either. Sometimes I'd love to know why my tank suddenly backed off, or what our other DPS was fighting while I thought I was taking a 1v1.

I know the replay viewer already exists. I'm talking about something you could check in those few seconds before respawning, without leaving the match.

Honestly, I suspect I'd discover that a lot of my "where the hell was my team?" deaths were actually "oh, that's where my team was" deaths.

Would you use something like this, or would it just give people another reason to blame their teammates?

When the silhouette was first changed, he held one of his arms up but we couldn't know if he was holding something because it was blocked by domina. Still, it kind of looked like the bottom of a pistol grip bellow his hand. We know it's not the umbrella because he was clearly holding it in the other hand (and we would've clearly seen more of it). I'd also find it weird if he was holding his arm up without holding anything just to aura farming.

Now that the final art is revealed for him, it's now even harder to tell since his hand is completely covered by shion's gun and coat. However, the arm seems to be slightly pointed outward to where it would look kind of odd if he wasn't holding something.

We'll find out when he's first shown but I just wanted to discuss it. Personally, I hope he still has a pistol because it would be pretty cool and funny for him to use both a glock and an umbrella.

I think first I saw this was maybe season two this year. Thought it was gonna be something like happened in season one at the start of the year - some bundles with a mix of OW"1" and OW"2" skins or something, but I am yet to see any of it in the "just for you". It's like this was supposed to be a thing, but then no one cared enough.
