212 - Omnic Lab: Priority Queue and PVE

Welcome to the Omnic Lab. A podcast that focuses on the strategies inside of the game of Overwatch. We learn through trial and error in the lab, even if things get a bit crazy and blow up sometimes! We’ll brew up team composition strategies, stir in some tips to play better, and hopefully equip listeners with the instruments they need to gain a strategic edge!

Glad I found this podcast, great info on updates, OW2 news and strategy in game.

Awesome OW info

I struggle to figure out what the patches do and these guys help me so much! Thank you👍🏻

Very Helpful

100 - Omnic Lab: 2 Years of Strategy Guides

In the Lab this week we brought EvilToaster out from the woodwork to slam down a bongo drum and talk Orisa this week! He’s a top 500 finishing tank-main player who mains Orisa since her release and has a lot of tips for us this week, so Halt and Fortify as we whip out those Fusion Drivers for the next Going Deep episode! News &amp; Blue Posts:  Game Night -- Sept. 29th Junkertown/DVa/Mercy Patch Drop!

What are the fundamentals of the hero (maybe for Low Tier play as well)? Let’s talk about using Fusion Driver effective use. How to do we get the most out of Projected Barrier? What are some of the big differences since the Shield Adjustments patch? Where do you put this sucker? Do you launch them to save teammates as a desperation play? What tips do you have for using Halt! To grab targets for repositioning or environmental kills? Hoyle391: what is your strategy for saving or using halt.  What are the best times to keep it saved for.  Do you get the most value out of yanking people away from you or pulling groups together. X-Kaliper: How do you use this ability to combo with teammates? How do you optimize your use of Fortify?IcySorrow: With dive being all about mobility, do you see Orisa's fortify being more beneficial as we move away from that meta? Or do you have thoughts about how you would change or rework the ability to better her kit. Supercharger breakdown Can we chat about positioning and how to use your Shield and Halt!

Basically, what is the core to the hero for Bronze to Gold (players of all SR are struggling with this, not just sub plat) to grasp for improvement How do we overcome the community’s negativity about the hero being “too easy” to play? Can we chat about positioning and how to use your position/presence and movement to maximize damage and pressure? How can we utilize high ground properly our positioning? How do you balance Self-protection and shielding allies? What do you do to balance moving with your tanks &amp; other supports vs. staying in the back to heal from a far. Okay let’s kick things off with your bread and butter: Healing with Biotic Rifle in and out of the scope. Do I Click and hold down my fire button to hit my tanks? Who do i prioritize to heal? When do I DPS? Let’s talk about using Biotic Grenade and effective use. How do we set up to use it? What are good rules of thumb for getting good value from the grenade? How to do we get the most out of Sleep Dart? What things can we do to have a “spidey sense” on when to have it ready? How to I practice the wind up + projectile feel on this ability? Proper timing for Nano Boost breakdown When to use, where to be, who to prioritize Building Ult tips General Use &amp; Setting up Communicating with Teammates Good Targets vs Bad Targets Community Question from Jonaqec: How has the rework of the ultimate changed the way you use it? Has it become more of a defensive tool (saving a dying tank and/or help him build his ultimate faster) or is it still mostly part of an offensive combo ultimate? How Map Dependent is Ana? Now let’s work on proper engagement and disengages. Now let’s talk synergies and matchups. What heroes do you need to be careful of for being countered and others that you really think are great/necessary for your comp. (How has Hammond changed the approach to positioning on Ana if any?)
