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

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

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.

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….

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.

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

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

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.

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?

There is no reason why Ashe should have both a perk that removes her need to skillshot for dynamite and gives the the ability to 2 shot with only 1 headshot meanwhile all of Echo's perks are uh...yeaaaah

And this is super prevalent with character balance, all the characters that already overperform get perks that makes them even better and the ones that underperform get nuthin

Anran gets either a small duration buff to her DoT that does no damage or she gets what is basically required for her ult to ever be of value and Cassidy gets to double his nades AoE and make him even deadlier with virtually no drawback, D.mon just gets 40% less fuel consumed with shield up, which there's already little reason not to have up almost 24/7, and Sym gets 1 more turret that does no damage

At least give the weaker characters stronger perks to balance it out more if you insist on having this dumb smooth brain meta you've been building for years now

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

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 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.
