Overwatch |OT2-2-2| Role With It

Oh fuck, I'm getting "analog drift" on my PS4, which leads to many cheap deaths in OverWatch. I googled some solutions....
SideNote: For console players (like me), I'd highly recommended using "toggle crouch" for Baptiste, it makes using Exo-boots much more intuitive, since we have limited buttons.
- use air-can / blow into analog holes
- use Q-tip & alcohol to clean analog ports
I agree, that's why I recommend changing Baptiste's control settings to "toggle crounch". It makes using Exo-boots less "awkward" since you only have to press crouch once instead of holding it.

Viking funeral for the controller, rip :/
If you opened it and the analog censors were blue and not copper color they are as good as dead :/
I hate this generation of controllers. Literally one of each has broken/failed between myself/my wife. Meanwhile all my older shit is still going.
Yea I've gone through like 10 controllers this gen, most with the analog drift problem. Smh.

watching support play tank is tragic. had to get off zen (attack) and went Orisa on defense. ended up with a draw. which is fine.
got a 3K with her, luckily i reloaded because i got nano lol. took out rein, zen, and somewhere i hit ana? she must have been in sight behind zen because i was spraying my bullets so he get hit and it hit her too .

Maybe I've just gotten lucky with controllers. The only one I've ever had an issue with is an OG ps1 controller, where the d-pad would not work sometimes.
I haven't tried opening it yet, but I'll try that next. I remember one of the "fix analog" videos I watched talked about cleaning the blue/copper sensor.
It sucks because Baptiste is on Competitive tomorrow, but I can't even play. >_<
I just replaced my Xbox 360 controller in 2018 after 10 years of heavy usage; not because it broke/failed but because the analog stick grips had literally wore down affecting my aim/movement.
Meanwhile, I've had my PS4 Pro for less than a year and I'm already getting "analog drifts".
If it's a blue contact the controller is doomed. I've opened and cleaned mine and it went from "drifting" to "not turning left"

Route 66
feels good when you can right click with zen into a pharah standing still on the pillar.
feels even more good on second attack you switch off zen to widow to get a quick pick with widow and you shoot through the small hole between the cars to kill junk.
also dps ana. youre welcome Soldier. i killed the pharah before she got you
the carry support.

How/what did you clean the inside of your controller with?
Where do you get/see those "We've taken action" notices? I've reported many people, but never got any follow-up responses. (Do they even give notices on PS4 or is that PC only?)
Youtube tutorials and isopropilic alcohol, but there are limitations to whether it will work or not, if the circuits are only dirty, cleaning is fine, but when you open the analog censors you'll see some plastic structures that come out and they have a metal band. If the band has a bronze color it's fine, but if it has a blue color, it's oxidated, therefore no matter that you do, it'll never detect movement again
It wasnt a big deal to me cause i have an habit of having one spare controller, if it's your only one you might wanna consider whether the drifting is that bad or not
The controller's structure is VERY delicated and you can end up scratching a lot of plastic parts you shouldn't. Be careful
Blue circuit reference here
I don't know about console but on PC, they appear when you first open the game and you have to click okay to close each one.
When y'all play do certain moments just haunt you?
I thought I had my moment of glory. A protracted game on route 66. Every step felt like a grind. It went to OT. We manage to stop the enemy around the saloon.
I was playing D.Va. Admittedly not my best game, I demeched a lot from tunneling in on supports and not having enough defensive abilities to get out because I thought I was getting value from going for the Mercy. I hit some smaller bombs, but nothing huge. We finally came up to the saloon. The fight dragged out.
Their Sombra EMP'd, but somehow I didn't get caught by it. As they went to engage on my team, I noticed their Orisa placed their shield tight to the cart. If the enemy team wanted to save themselves from my bomb, they would have to go through into my team. It was time for the Big Bomb.
I dropped it and hit four.
We had won.
Except...
Lost in the madness was their D.Va. With EMP out, we had no shield of our own. She dropped her bomb. We hid behind the cart, thinking we were all safe.
We were not. Team wipe. We lost.
I couldn't sleep for an hour after that game.

I made a D.Va play a meter from victory yesterday... DROP THE BOMB I cried as I sent the mech flying into their defensive line. My team scrambling just to stay alive to keep the game in overtime.
BOOM!
3 kills! Wait... no... that's not right. How could it be? RIP Symmetra turrets one, two... and yes, three!
Well, shit. Game over. Defeat.
Time to uninstall.
I think I'm a very momentum based player. I had a game where I was playing sombra, not going great and swapped to MCree and I'm landing all of my headshots. Get a quad kill, opponent can't even make it to the point. 11 headots in a 1:30, double headshotting tracer. Start the final round, landing a few headshots on the tank line heading to the point. Their MCree rolls and fan the hammer kills me. I was still landing shots but the consistent headshots were off, confidence dead. Probably looks like I turned off my aimhacks.
Yep, and it wouldn't surprise me that we will get teasers for the cosmetics next week.
Should be soon, Jeff said that they recorded a Developer Update that will go live next week should have details on the new event in the Archives.
Man, I bought the reaper statue early on because it looked so cool...I wish this was in its place. Love the color and pose.
FUCK THIS AWESOME MERCH ABOUT BRAZILIAN CHARACTERS THAT BRAZILIAN PLAYERS CAN'T AFFOR TO BUY
Yeah but conversion taxes, usual taxes(60% iirc) + delivery and i'd easily have to spend 1000BRL to get this one
Hell yeah, mostly cause customs suck, because that tax shouldnt be applied to everything but you gotta assume it does
I'm on my third DS4. R2 died on the first one and the 2nd one the left analog stick would constantly lose the input. Overwatch was the only game I was playing for a while so I thought it was just lag when my walking was kinda stuttery but then I played Spider-Man and it would go from a sprint to the slowest possible walk even though the stick was moved all the way forward.
Hopefully this one will be my last for the generation.

had 2 really good sleep on Gibraltar attack.
First the sombra farming her emp off dva. and whoever else. right before getting point A i had gut feeling sombra was about to emp because it was a bit quiet. she must have touched someone on the point because she was starting to decloak to try and emp and i shoot the sleep dart in front of her because they seem to keep holding W when they Q. slept her before she could get the emp off. made her switch right after we capped point A. lol (i need to press F9 to save highlights. i keep forgetting)
second was me trying to heal the team on the payload, me seeing winston about to die up ahead and i wanted to nano him but theres a hammond on point doing ground slam which caused me to see a reaper on the ship's bridge. I nano the winston, reaper falls down and hits Q but i already hit the sleep. but then again. reaper makes it obvious they are about to Q. ;P
also, idk how we managed to hold the payload for 4 minutes with like 1m left before they won LMFAO.

such troll, cancerous team. we managed to get Round 1 of Oasis. somehow the team went toxic so we ended up not having a healer during Round 2. Round 3 i just went Bap and stood on top of point and just threw stuff to point and if it hits it hits. they left me uncontested. i think the other team was trolling too because rein and hog was just bouncing on the pad for some reason. the rest of the team didn't even try to take point? lol okay. but the rein tried to charge me when he jumped on the pad but that exo boost comes in handy because the near unlimited use for it.
Omg THaANK YOU, this saved me $60 dollars! I was seriously about to go buy another controller but I followed the instructions from the video and it worked (only difference is I used an alcohol-based after-shave because I didn't have rubbing alcohol lol).
Ah okay.
Has anyone on console ever got a "We've taken action" notice?
Absolutely gorgeous. Lucio was my first main years back. This is super tempting.
Glad that helped! I wished my controller had that luck ;-;
Got one of those messages last year, then never again
Complained about it before but please tell me there are other people who have to deal with self entitled Pharah mains who demand to have a pocket mercy and start raging when they keep dying by openly flying into firefights expecting to be babysit by the healers.
Had a player last week that switched to Pharah even though they had a Mccree and our healers were Lucio and Moira. He then proceeded to spam I need healing when he dies. 🤦♂️
I (kind of) ruined a D.Va's day earlier in the week during a Mystery Heroes match.
Numbani map. We were on defense and the enemy team steamrolled through the first checkpoint, but we held them up for a long time on the second and it turned into a fight for every inch on the final stretch. Eventually we had a good enough comp going to stop their momentum completely; I used Pharah to eliminate their Brig, and without her passive the rest fell until only their D.Va remained. Mech-less the D.Va retreated around the corner for safety, and I debated going after her but thought better of it because by then the rest of her team would have been coming out of spawn and I didn't want to get killed for being aggressive.
The whole time we're holding them as the counter runs down I'm thinking, "that D.Va's got her ult saved, they're gonna push for a fight on the goalline and when we reciprocate the D.Va's gonna bomb us." Sure enough, in the final seconds they retake the payload and as we fall back and regroup on the goalline the D.Va launches herself through the balcony doorway towards our team. I'm already airborne, and I hit my boosters to go above the bomb as it drops down on our line.
D.Va gets a triple kill. It ends up being PotG.
But they don't win the match. The ult didn't touch me or two of my team, and as they try to push I bait the re-Meched D.Va into using her DM. When it's gone I launch my own ult, aiming at her and the McCree/Mercy duo using her for cover. It doesn't do much, but then again it doesn't have to...
Because when it's over, I boop them away from the payload. Overtime, they can't recover to touch the payload, we win. :p

I've been playing paladins recently and
they already brought teammate outlines (through geometry) to overwatch, but I would still appreciate if they copied paladins' teammate small health/ult bar (like owl already has) and simple, readable icons to know when you're being healed and who is healing you
also, just duplicate their siege mode lol

Did your controller sensor have the "blue color"?
Well knowing that the "We've taken action" notice is also on console makes me upset that I've never gotten one for the many players I've reported.
I'd like you thank you for choosing the crucial shield-tank role that not many people like to play.
OP

It's because I instalock support but after awhile I rather fill because some of the these people don't know how to play anything other than support.
Also see some bap with Orissa because his field core is shielded by her shield but people still don't know how to play him lol
