what's your guy's opinion on strange weapons? I might sell mine to get some cosmetics. I don't know if I find them stupid or cool.

I used to use a lot of them because I always wanted to feel like I was doing something virtually productive by incrementing the numbers, but nowadays with as little as I play and with overall stats in the form of casual matchmaking there's really no need for them

I typically just keep around anything I want to use tags or killstreakers on (because I consider it a waste to use them on uniques or, god forbid, stock), like these



honestly I've still got a bunch to get rid of but I'd rather try my luck with vending machine coin returns than put up all those meager listings

imagine spending $40 just to have a 100% playtime ratio on a meme hero and/or feed your superiority complex by stomping new players for a week before MMR catches up

New changes in the PTR

Roadhog
    Scrap Gun
        Spread decreased by 20%
    Chain Hook
        Targets are now pulled to a location 3.5 meters away, up from 2 meters.
        Cooldown increased from 6 to 8

Winston
    Critical hit volume reduced by 15%

The Roadhog changes overall reduce the power of his hook a bit, but his gun is now more effective when not using the hook.

Winston's head hit volume was just abnormally big, making him take more damage than he otherwise should. This change brings it more in line with other heroes.

ok, well, I started a duel with a bot and now I can parry totally fine

I guess there was a bug in the tutorial or something

which class are you playing? i think parrying is MUCH easier when you play as a warden

unfortunately for me, I'm playing warden

are you swinging as the arrow shows up or the arrow starts flashing and blinking to signify its time to parry

I started out pressing the button when the arrow flashed like it says in the tutorial, but after failing about 20 parries in a row I assumed I must be doing something wrong and started doing it at every possible moment between the time the arrow shows up and I get hit, none of which worked consistently

I had a similar problem with the guard break counter too actually, I seriously had to look it up and found a post where someone suggested just "mashing the button" and it worked (not for parrying though, unfortunately)

start parrying attacks

whenever they attack, you'll notice the red arrow from their direction grow and shine. do a heavy attack when you see that and it will parry the attack

I spent like 5 minutes trying my hardest to get the timing right on parrying and despite my best efforts to press the button at every conceivable millisecond during the time the arrow is on screen, I barely managed to get the 3 I needed to proceed in the tutorial

5 more minutes later I managed to get 1 more parry and decided that it must be some kind of frame-perfect, last resort thing and stopped trying

I guess I just don't have the reflexes required for this game

there's unblockable attacks that you have to dodge, but i don't think the conqueror has any unblockable attacks using the flail

I was blocking every attack but it kept looking like I was taking damage, so I glanced at my health bar and noticed it was still taking off like 10% of my health with every swing so idk

havin a rough time because everyone is so much better than me already

so apparently there's a ball and chain weapon that just does damage to you whether you block it or not? am I understanding this correctly?

From what I hear, the combat system is like a rock paper scissor type thing? Can someone confirm, I wanna get into the game but I don't know if i'll like the combat.

basically, when someone attacks, they choose to bring their weapon in from either the top, left, or right, and the other person has to quickly match that stance to block it

it's a lot deeper than that though, there's all sorts of combos and guard breaks and stuff that was touched so briefly in the tutorial that it completely flew over my head

I could see myself getting into it but right now I don't see it being worth more than 40 bucks

ITS HAPPENING

I honestly don't see how they can NOT pick him at this point, unless they're already doing recording/design with someone else behind the scenes

I almost never see actors show this level of public interest in a position
