Overwatch |OT2-2-2| Role With It

Overwatch decides my first ever Sombra PotG (complete with "Hacking" intro!) isn't worth saving as a highlight, but me as Orisa walking forward as I throw my shield and shoot things is one for the ages. The fuck.
To top it off, my first legendary drop post- Baptiste is a legendary pile of coins.

You have to keep up with like at least one endorsement a game or so.

^^ Ah okay lol.
Does anyone actually choose specific people to endorse? I always just pick a random name and give shot-caller, just to get the 50 exp points.

I do give endorsements to good teammates and sometimes the enemy team if we have a funny interaction the match
but getting endorsements feels so random and kinda pointless, the only thing the system is good for is some free extra boxes during events
it's pretty useless as a gage of other people's, uh, quality (???) as a player too so idk

It's always considered, and sometimes a hard choice for me ^.^ I always give 3 every game unless there's no one to give it to but a thrower, obvious smurf or BMer.
I totally see patterns in how I get endorsements. Giving out endorsements is one part that I feel leads to getting them back, and staying in the QP lobby for the next round. Winning helps a lot but a hard fought loss can earn some, stomp losses almost never unless I get a card or potg. Cards and PotGs are almost-guaranteed shot callers and good teammates with a hard loss, and pretty much a lock on a win.
When I'm able to pull a Hard Carry game it's... profitable ^.^ or when I just do the solo-behind-enemy-lines thing and it goes well, they pour in.
And I definitely value the information endorsement levels provide and advertise. I usually keep myself around 4, so my teammates tend to trust me a bit more than when I'm down in 3, and back me up, which leads to Ws. And when I see an endorsement 1 on my team, I know I'm gonna' have to pick up some slack, 'cause this dude is 1 or not-ranked with a silver border for a reason.
I like the endorsement system.
I had a level 5 doing thanks spam, walling the team and torbjorn cliff throwing
Only happened once but im salty, cause i usually play like a saint and never got more than 4
Unless I noticed something spectacular from an opponent or dps,i endorse the healers first and any functional tanks second.
I get a decent amount of shot callers when I actually get on the mic. Otherwise good teammate/sportsmanship. I normally give out good teammate unless we specifically have a shot callers cause teammates in the middle after you click the endorse button lol. Generally to healers, but I do decide on the game. Give it to the enemy team if they had a really good player.
Absolutely, and I think it's the #1 reason I don't enjoy playing as him. Both his primary and alt fire sound really weak and quiet. It just doesn't feel like I'm doing as much damage or healing as I'm actually doing.
Yeah they definitely messed up the sound and animation of his gun. It barely even moves when you shoot primary fire, as if it was a beam weapon or something.
I endorse tanks first, they're much harder to find
If they played hog i just skip to main healer
Well I'm almost always one of the tanks or healers so in practice this turns into "probably endorse every other non-DPS"
I have almost a flow chart. Did anyone shot call while not being a dick (endorse) -> someone who tried hard to be helpful or nice -> Main tank who wasn't toxic (endorse) -> Main Support who wasn't toxic (endorse) - > flex support -> Off-Tank
Yeah I agree. Idk if it's the sound, recoil or the fact that unlike Ashe you just hold down shoot and it'll keep firing (and like most of the characters in the game) or what but it doesn't feel satisfying.
Lol i can relate
THIS POST TRIGGERS ME SO MUCH
why does sombras ult destroy baptistes? its not a barrier, there's not even a physical device
seriously what is blizzards obsession with letting sombra fuck over EVERY hero's playstyle?
next patch; sombra can now hack transendence. we think sombra doesnt rawdog zen enough as it is

Watching the OWL's excellent team user-interface made me realize, why doesn't Blizzard add it to the regular game too?
It would drastically increase the player's "game-sense" as you can:

Well, I think I'm uninstalling again. The game is fun after new content arrives but then the fun gets gradually replaced with salt :(

SideNote: I know all this info is available in the "score screen" & "kill feed" but many players (myself included), don't bring up score screen as often as we should and/or forget to look at the kill feed.

Great idea. Much better than having to press tab to access that info and block view of everything else.
I've wondered about this since that interface first showed up in the first Halloween event.Watching the OWL's excellent team user-interface made me realize, why doesn't Blizzard add it to the regular game too?

There's a couple of nuances with the field. Obviously, if you get knocked out of its radius, you're vulnerable. But the cues that the field is gone (killfeed, Baptiste's voice lines, the device's explosion) can be subtle and easy to miss in the middle of a heated battle. And lastly, the field needs line of sight to work. So any of these things could have contributed to you being killed when you feel like you shouldn't have been.

Isn't some of that information just given to us, the viewer though? Like, the players themselves don't actually have all these UI elements, that's just what we see on the stream...correct?
Yeah, I get the same interface while joining a full custom game and waiting for a spot to be free and watching people play.
Yeah all that extra UI information only shows up when Spectating (OWL or in-game). But my post was suggesting Blizzard should add all that extra UI info to the regular game, so I won't have constantly check the score-screen just to see my team's status/ULT percentage.

I would like your team's info on the screen at all times. Would absolutely help in coordination.
Okay, yea I knew you could see those in the score screen. I thought we were also talking about the enemy data (health / ult) so i was confused. I'd be down for an option to turn on / off those UI elements, particularly seeing friendly health bars at the top of the screen with ult percentages. That would be awesome.
boot up overwatch, play one competitive game, report everyone on my team, close overwatch
that's about right

While I agree with almost all the arguments for going with a locked 2-2-2, the issue I see is what Jeff Kaplan said in that DPS players will have horribly long queue times. Like 10-20 minutes long.
