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.

I love Juno muah muah muah muah

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.

Note: this discussion applies to the bot actively pushing the barrier, NOT when it is running back to catch up to the barriers progress (that speed caps at 1 person.)

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 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

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.

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.

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

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.}

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?

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.

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?

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?

i wish you could gift skins to other people. i have so many widow and lucio skins that i don’t use because i rarely ever play them. Only time ill ever play widow is if i pull her in the mystery heroes game mode. it would be really cool if OW had a feature where you can give skins to your friends because they’d be put to good use instead of collecting dust. and so i can get rid of that horrible octopus lucio skin….

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.

Ignore Deku's arm he's just been working out okay.

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.

You see your team getting shredded with one tank/support, yet you stay on dps knowing not enough damage can be tanked or healed. All 3/4 of you sit there , waiting for each other to switch. Why?

You know you can still do damage as a tank and support, whilst helping the team more. Then why do you not switch 😭

This isn't mercy she isn't in this team (this is from the "until the end" comic) and she is in another twam as well as her armour not matching
