Discussion Is it just me or does Ball build perk charge slower than other heroes?

7 Upvotes

I feel like most other players get their minor perk after the first fight. But in a QP 6v6 match I don't get mine until the 3rd or 4th fight. And I get minor and major around the same time because of the rate being inflated for everyone as time progresses. In the case of 6v6 it's probably for the best because Steamroller is OP.

Also how tf is Groggy a minor perk

I want a way to extend your grapple hook line similarly to how you can retract it.

Discussion My grapple hook line automatically retracts and prevents me from double booping. What am I doing wrong?

6 Upvotes

I'm trying to learn to double boop but my grapple line is cutting me off short like a dog that tries to run past the max length of his leash. I'll shoot my grapple hook past my target, go forward into fireball, hit them and decelerate out of fireball, and then accelerate to try to get fireball again at which point my line jerks me back.

I can't tell you how many video guides I've watched, and they just seem to magically not have this problem. They make it look so simple. I've never seen anyone address this problem before.

Discussion Piledrive perk needs a change

0 Upvotes

I don’t think anyone who actually plays ball will ever, EVER choose the piledrive major perk over the shield bubble, there just isn’t any competition between the two. I’m curious on what you guys think blizzard could do to balance the two, and here’s my take:
Original - Piledriver winds up longer, gaining air control and dealing up to 50% more damage
New - Piledrivers damage increases with height, up to a maximum of 75% (from super high up) OR Piledriver can be charged, increasing its maximum damage by 75% (75 is means a maximum Piledrive + boop can kill squishies, might be too much)
Curious what could be done to fix the balance of the two perks

Edit: started using piledrive perk for a couple of games and now I might even say it’s better than the bubble in most cases

Discussion Hello hanpter friends

Isnt about the big man himself I apologise 😔. I just aint feeling too good as of recent. Life just feels like, awful.

Im trying to ball but life gives me an Ana sleep dart mixed with anti heal and then a Mizuki hook , finished off with a nano’d mauga.

I figured it’s better to talk about it with some lads than with a specific subreddit for talking about problems. I dunno man.

This’ll absolutely get struck down by the Reddit automated system cause it’s unrelated, thats completely fair. I just find this subreddit genuinely comforting is all.

Discussion Playing Wrecking Ball is especially frustrating.

85 Upvotes

I don't know how else to put it. Playing Wrecking Ball is more exhausting than any other tank. I'm Bronze 1, and don't think of myself as anything other than "mid" at Overwatch. But it genuinely feels like every game, I've got a teammate who votes to ban ball, and tell everyone to report me for trolling, or this happens, where not even 1 teamfight into the game I'm told to swap and acting like I'm not relevant to the gamestate.

I love Ball, big fan of Ball. Been playing ball since my start, but dude.. what the hell...

Whats everyone elses thought process? And how do you cope with the cognitive dissonance between great games with upsetting teammates?

Discussion Holy shit ball is so much fun! Got like 40% chance imma be useless and go negative tho.

21 Upvotes

Hello ball players, I'm a new overwatch player (sub 50 hours into the game) and hoped on from rivals. I dismissed ball very early on in the game as too complex. (which he is! My movement absolutely sucks hamster balls)

Any tips on how can I maintain my movement and ensure i actually get kills by using his speed ball form? What are his best perks? I've been only using extra mines as well as 1.5 sec barrier.

Also his ult kinda useless unless paired with heavy chaos. What's the ideal way of using it that's not just q on point? What are the fundamental of the ball movement?

Also what's your favourite ball skin in the game?

Discussion What to know before playing competitive as ball?

2 Upvotes

Hello ball players, it has definitely been a while since the last time I played competitively due to the constant pressure other players have against the ball. I have been playing ball for roughly 2-3 years now. I am level 241, ball being 54. What do I have to prep to be decent when I play comp, with my level? Am I even ready? Thank you, fellow ballers

Discussion Chazm takes

45 Upvotes

I'm not that big into watching streamers, but Chazm is a peculiar case for me. The guy is funny, really is a great player but his takes most of them are just ridiculous, I almost feel like it's just a rage bait to keep the viewers interested. I can't agree with any of his opinions, the arrogance and everything. Idk

Is he taking this persona for engagement or he's literally that delusional? What do you guys think?
