Hello, I have been looking to get a mouse pad. I have been using my desk for years. I mainly play Overwatch, with wrist aiming, with the main issue of uneven and choppy tracking. So I asked around here the other day and looking at the recommendations of the type 99, the zero and the raiden and looking at these options it seems the raiden would be best for my use case but with the 3 options of mid, soft and xsoft I don't know which one to pick which is why I'm asking.

Thank you.

hello I am asking if anyone had some tips to help my tank gameplay looking at the footage I feel I have a lot of knee jerk reactions which lead me to using my cooldowns too early, additionally I seem to be allergic to having anything less than 200 ammo but I am looking for other perspectives to see if I had missed anything.

thank you.

So I've never had a mouse pad for gaming, and I've been just using my desk for years with an Xlite wireless V2 for all that time, but recently I've gotten into Overwatch, and I do want to improve, and one of the ways people suggested was to make sure I had good equipment, which is why I'm asking here for help.

In my current state, I aim with my wrist with 1600dpi and 35% sensitivity in Overwatch; flicks feel fine, but I noticed when tracking I can occasionally have little moments when aiming where I would squiggle and lose tracking for a moment.

As previously stated, I have no experience in this field, so if you need any more information from me, I'd be happy to answer and thank you for your help.

Edit: I'm in the UK and I have limited space so small to medium sized pad recommendations would be appreciated. Roughly 50cm width and 35cm long is the maximum size I can work with.

hello I am asking if anyone had some tips to help my tank gameplay as I believe the rank system is testing to see if I belong in gold instead of silver with my close proximity to a gold rank and so I wanted to know how I could improve from this match so I can take said advice and apply it to my next gold test game.

thank you.

Description of the match / things you want reviewed: I played ramattra and sigma as those are some of the tanks in most comfortable with. Additionally I feel I made some good positioning plays and good coms and did well in terms of picking my targets.

Hello for starters I'm on pc and on European servers and recently I finally got around to doing comp games because I thought I was good enough to get a decent rank, however what happened was with my 6 v 6 placements I ended up getting silver 2 which happened today but when I've logged on last and did 4 quick play games I was rubbish and we lost all 4 of those games and I want to blame my teammates and everything else but I know if I want to improve I have to blame myself

Firstly, I need to learn how to play tank in silver lobbies properly. Although I've attempted to use group up pings and flank routes, I may not be doing so at the right time, or perhaps I need to adapt to the mentality of this rank.

Secondly, after my recent performance, I have become a bit lethargic to the game and just generally not happy with my performance because I thought I was above average maybe I thought I could get plat in my first placements but no I'm in silver 2 so my whole confidence in the game has just gone in the bin and I need a way to fish it out.

Feel free to share tips, tricks, or any other suggestions to help me improve my gameplay. Hopefully, some of the advice I've heard, such as staging your dives, ignoring counters, and going for support and DPS, has translated into actual performance in these two games on Kings Row and Eichenwalde in the new Quick Play hacked event.

Firstly, before we start, I'd like to mention I'm mainly a tank player and a quick play warrior who mainly plays 5v5 with little to no knowledge of ranked nor much interest in ranked, but I thought I'd share my views on the new 3 2 1 quick play hacked.

Off the bat I'm happy with the changes games feel dynamic yet structured and what I mean by this is that you are guaranteed to get 2 supports and 1 tank which ensures no 6 DPS team comps but also it's dynamic in how some games you do have the standard 2-2-2 comp but also a 3-2-1 comp which feels refreshing compared to the same structure in 5v5 but I don't have to worry about if my team has a support or not which feels great.

I've thought about how this game mode might work as a permanent fixture of overwatch and thinking how it might help in the tank shortage by having a palatable way for DPS players to at least test out the tank role which could then lead to more players selecting the tank role overall but one possible idea I had to help this is adding "transitional tanks" basically making oversized DPS characters in the tank role which would help ease DPS players into trying out tank heros (ps I'm not a professional at balance so take it with a handful of salt).

I've also thought about how to show entirely new players this hybrid DPS system works by changing the role select screen to indicate this with the symbols [tank] - [tank/DPS(name the role hybrid maybe?)] - [support] - [flex].

Side note I have thought of the possibility of adding the "hybrid" role as it's own category where the hybrid player is the only one that has the choice of either tank or DPS, but it might be harmful to queue time and restrict the flexibility I mentioned earlier, so it's a food-for-thought kind of idea but might work, might not.

In conclusion, I'm happy with this game mode and would probably play it more than 5v5 if permanently implemented; however, it is early doors and recency bias, and I've only had a small time to play it with a busy weekend.
