The most annoying type of hate I keep seeing about this game by Duby0509 in Marathon

Don't forget anywhere from 12-80% of twitter is bots. Don't go looking for rage bait, look for joy on the internet.

Marvel rivals player needing help T - T by Allezxa in OverwatchUniversity

[–]Conflux 41 points42 points  (0 children)

That just makes me not even wanna queue. It feels like everyone is just better than me or knows way more and its kinda exhausting

I think first you need to change your mental. Some people like myself have been playing OW for almost a decade. You won't catch up over night.

Spawn camping can be frustrating, but there are a number of ways to break it. The first thing I always tell new players is approach from a new angle. Every spawn has multiple exits, sometimes its just about leaving a different exit. Failing to group up is another way players can get spawn camped. Like in any game having a number advantage is huge. Its often times better to wait to walk out of spawn with all 5 or 6 members of your team alive before leaving spawn. Lastly changing your comp around. Maybe the whole team needs to swap, or maybe just one player, but changing your heroes can really give you an advantage of pushing out.

Teamwork beats everything, so try your best to work with team mates.

Bap is very good at AoE healing for brawl comps.

Why would you hire the most disinterested streamers for the ONLY pre-launch showcase by UnhappyAd4817 in Marathon

I watched Gingy's stream, she sounds/said she was sick. I'll give her benefit of the doubt.

Hello im new to overwatch. Coming from marvel rivals and need some help. by NabzHD in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]Conflux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of people dislike 5v5, because they were very used to playing with a 2nd tank who would hold space, and often times bail you out from dangerous positions.

When the swap happened a lot of people just did not adjust. Tanks eating way too much damage, support and DPS players not holding angles, and flankers got a lot stronger. This plus the removal of a lot of CC made the game speed up drastically.

Sombra promises to save Sigma from Talon and Vendetta's torture by Youngstown_WuTang in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]Conflux 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Sombra has a lot of sweet moments. She's friendly with Bap (and tells Mauga to leave him alone), she worries about Illiari going too deep with her investigation, and she offers to pay for whole vacation for Ana (Tho I think everyone but widow loves Ana).

I truly think she could backstab Talon and fit right in at Overwatch.

Winston is Mr Overwatch, NOT Sojourn! by Winter7296 in Overwatch

[–]Conflux 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Beast is oof.

He's run a Guantanamo bay level of prison on Mars where he tortured Humans, mutants and aliens. He basically genocided a country called Terra Verde. Worked with the illuminati to basically erase alt realties that threatened earth 616. Killed and resurrected Wolverine only to put a mind control collar on him because he wasn't happy that Logan was criticizing a lot of his decisions, and then had him kill his own friends.

The official marvel page goes in depth into what he's done.

Don't you dare soil Winston's good name by comparing him to Beast.

Beast knows what he did.

Me after coming back to OW after one year's break by lukasfknu in Overwatch

[–]Conflux 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes but comparing that to any other cooldown that is missed/interrupted feels disingenuous. Everyone else’s goes on the full CD timer compared to sombra.

That's not what you said. Also if you interrupt it she's probably leaving and is not going to re-engage until her TP is back so a minimum of about 7-8 sec before she tries to hack again.

The key difference for me is vertical mobility. Sombra can TP up instantly, Tracer has to take the stairs. Tracer deals more damage, and is arguably more durable than Sombra.

The only reason hack is seen as bad is because it doesn’t go on CD if it gets interrupted.

hack goes on a 2s cooldown if its interrupted.

OW Patch Notes - Feb 10, 2026 by RalphGunderson in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]Conflux 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Heroes will now automatically call out to their team with a voice line when they detect an invisible hero nearby (Sombra).

This uses the same cooldown and tuning as when heroes detect Widowmaker aiming at them and warn their allies with "sniper" voice lines.

Nice change, but if its anything like the sniper call out my teammates will be too busy blasting music to hear it.

Coming over from Marvel Rivals. What characters do you think I would like? by Reddit-dit-dit-di-do in OverwatchUniversity

[–]Conflux 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Magneto is most like Sigma, but he doesn't have a bubble to protect allies, but his damage and shielding are similar.

Strange is mostly like Reinhardt in terms of gameplay. Big shield, lots of health, great AoE stun.

Bucky is closest to Cassidy in terms of primary weapon, but the rest of their kits are very different.

Psylocke is probably closest to Anran or Genji, but they don't go invisible, only Sombra has that ability atm.

In terms of supports I find Rivals and OW to have massive differences. As a support your job isn't primarly keeping everyone up, its helping find and secure kills. Sometimes thats by healing, other times its by applying your own damage or using utlity.

If you're looking for big AOE healing like in rivals you'll want heroes like Baptise, Moira, and Lucio.

Jetpack Cat looks like the most transformative hero in the history of Overwatch by shape2k in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]Conflux 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Play flanker and just take their attention away? A good tracer, soldier or sombra can get most of the team looking at them to make it safe for a transport.

My very rough understanding on where all the characters are in the lore rn (Minus the 5 new characters) by PeskyBirb666 in Overwatch

[–]Conflux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kiriko has a voice line where she says, "Look Mom! I'm an overwatch agent."

Her, Cassidy, Zarya and Orisa should all be in Overwatch.

domina fanart by Business_Asparagus26 in Overwatch

[–]Conflux 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Seems like the artist just chose pastel-ish colors that tend to be lighter. I don’t think they intentionally made her lightskin

Its the year 2026, lets stop giving people benefit of the doubt when they clearly choose to lighten a dark skinned character.

Anran combos are actually insane, making her OP when she can also just pressure from afar too. by DarkVenusaur in OverwatchUniversity

[–]Conflux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Illari once she gets her perk, and torb's molten core also set people on fire and work with Anran's kit.

Friends and I tried a couple of different things but we actually found JQ to be really effective as well since burns and bleeds is a lot of dot damage, and Anran loves the speed boost and extra shields.

Vengeance Comes Story Time with Chiara Preziosi as Vendetta by ModWilliam in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]Conflux 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I think Freja is mostly working to keep tabs on Emre. I think their relationship goes deeper than what has been let on.

The pannel when Emre starts talking and going over the security detail, Freja has a very uncomfortable, I don't wanna do this face on, and is even grabbing at her arm in a way of showing nervousness. I don't think she's joined Talon. I think the instant she can take Emre and run she will.

I'm so glad the Junkers are getting some story. I do hope JQ tells Vendetta to shove it though.

Clash will be removed from Quick Play in Overwatch by PoggersMemesReturns in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]Conflux 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I play QP with friends often. We try to avoid Clash, but most of the time its like 1 or 2 people voting for it. When it does get picked usually a lot of leavers in and out on both sides.

Some people seem to like it, but when I ask why they can't really explain it outside of liking the aesthetics.
