There might be more pros, but the fact that a potentially uncounterable situation is brought up (I have to knock away the Montana to get to Miko and I have to knock away the melee to keep my team safe) where a loss-loss situation is created for the other team means that such a change can’t really be implemented fairly.
i don’t agree with you… it’s better to nerf some characters than have a game with space issues imo the battles concentrate in corridor areas, you can’t escape from that. It’s much more frustrating…all the games that have healers and tankers aer working ok with that. And i find very hardto believe that some players will play as miko and stay “inside” montana… works on overwatch though. And man… sometimes when i use mines with toby they get stuck in some part of the ground or in a friend passing by my god it sucks

Look at it this way: You’re asking for a quality of life improvement, which is entirely justified. I get annoyed when an ally walks in front of my sticky grenade and blocks it. However, removing ally collision gives definite gameplay advantages that offer extremely little counterplay. Sticking with the previous example, having Miko inside Montana renders both of them much harder to kill and in general makes Montana a much better character since he can now just 100% protect most other characters. All of the advice about, “oh just flank them, kill Miko fist” literally doesn’t work when Miko’s inside his big buddy since it’s nearly impossible to hit Miko first, removing a whole bunch of counterplay from an already annoying strategy and making the game a lot more frustrating as a whole. People will abuse any strategy they can get their hands on, just look at how popular Marquis was in Incursion a while back. I can’t even imagine the horror of a Marquis + tank strategy where Marquis can just stand inside of a tank and be more or less invulnerable until the tank dies.
Theoretically if there was no collision b/w allies you could stand inside a tank a deal DPS using them as a shield.
Montana + Phoebe could be like a birthday cake with a stripper inside, only this case an assassin inside a tank.

I hate collision system in real life. There are no ways to minimize its effects. I can barely get to work nowadays because of that.

The collision on enemies seems messed up as well. When three enemies pinball you around until your dead and there’s nothing you can do about it. What is that?
All this talk about Miko being able to hide inside Montana, I don’t get. I’ve played plenty of games without friendly collision and I can’t just stand inside another character, but I also don’t bounce off them either. Maybe they could just tone down the collision mechanics instead of taking them out completely. Make the boxes smaller, cone shaped or something.

good suggestion!
Man… games these days are 2real, this s*** is dope
Not even remotely. It would be horrific.
Stop for two seconds and consider how it would be used against you.
This game would absolutely suck if they removed collision, and then all the people complaining about collision would be complaining about how there isn’t any.
every fps is like that man…
It’s why I can’t play Montana in pvp. ;w; I get stuck on all of the things.

Every FPS?
Like Halo?
Every other FPS isn’t an asymmetrical PVP experience with different-sized models.
Even more, the different sized models are an important part of the asymmetrical nature of the PVP. Example: if Montana was as small as Orendi, I wouldn’t be able to use him as a shield to cover my escape anywhere close to as effectively.
I’m not saying they shouldn’t improve on the system somehow, but getting rid of it would be counter to the design of the game (and an overall bad idea).

o yea…makes hell of a difference in halo with those minimal doors supersize characters that always get in the way
you got that on overwatch, perfectly capable shield characters… different characters, different skills, sups, tanks and etc everything works fine. You can use the tank as a shield, but you don’t get stuck on stuff. I don’t get the complains about hidding inside, you get a lot of area attacks in the game.
And Overwatch has collision. More importantly, it’s not “every other FPS”, which I took to mean “almost every other fps” (because obviously there are some exceptions, like Overwatch and TF2).
but you can go through the players of your team…they don’t get in the way. I’m not saying every collision in the game --"
Huh. I was under the impression that friendly character collisions were in Overwatch. My mistake.

kkkkkk checked today! But man, BB has so much potential…i think this kind of things get in the way of the matches dynamic. The arena shouldn’t be like that if your friends can get in the way.
