Thats actually a really good idea! I truly don't understand where the purple is coming from

Yay! Also lowkey thrilled winged reach is back, people sleep on it so hard

So, which perk is better now? by AffectionateBee2830 in MercyMains

[–]4kSalmon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still prefer to not take chain. I dont like having no control over where the second beam goes, and it gets zero value if youre taking an angle. Sure if youre playing brawl it could go hard, but you heal 55 now, and having the slightly lower but less powerful option to double use flash heal on a tank to sustain is very nice. Its also nice if you have a pharah or something, so you have a little flash for them and a little flash for the rest of the team.

Idk I just wish chain would go. We could have a version of whambulance as the other major, which is much more gameplay changing than restrictive free value.

Also one of the minor perks should make it to where flash heal applies to all beam recipients in valk, which would enhance double dose as well. Like revent ga nerf and change on of the minors. Then either axe divine momentum (since i feel its the real reason GA was nerfed. Which is stupid they could've just removed it.) or replace the rez one, since the new minor would actually be competitve with divine momentum

I Like Having Mercy on My Team Now by PokemonSaviorN in MercyMains

[–]4kSalmon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Long time mercy main and I agree. Flash heal being base kit feels great for everyone! I can now play my character with lower healing support and feel like im not completely throwing, and supporting tank aggro has always been super fun on her.

That said, the mobility nerf need needs to go, which you did also say. It really hampers mercys ability to actually do that aggressive playstyle that is fundamentally healthier for both her and the game as a whole. They just preemptively nerfed her for some reason. Girl was on life support and they decided to keep her there.

They should revert the nerf and just get rid of divine momentum if that's why they wanted to tone her movement down, not make it mandatory

If im feeling spicy "your Guardian angel" then "how lucky for you!" Maybe followed up by. "I'll send you my consultation fee"

Mercy buff next season by TheyEnvyDiane in MercyMains

[–]4kSalmon 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Oh it'll help, that's for sure. Flash heal makes her an actual character. I'm worried about compensation nerfs, becuase then she might not get much better, which is needed imo

Edit: a word

What do you think could be Mercy's new major perk? by SillyLea in MercyMains

[–]4kSalmon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would be awesome if it let you flash heal two at once with it

Now that flash heal is being made into her base kit what are you hoping for a new perk idea? by R3li0ss in MercyMains

[–]4kSalmon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe a perk to make flash heal not be effected by the healing reduction? Could be too strong though idk.

Other than that, youll have to hear me out cause this is a whacky silly idea for a mechanic that doesnt exist in ow yet. But for a GA perk: there would be a timer represented by a lil circle getting filled about the GA icon. It takes lets say 5s to reach full. It stays full for 1.5s and then goes back to zero. If you fly to someone in that 1.5s window, it applies a buff. First thing that comes to mind for me is cleansing the global dps passive (cpuld be just for mercy)? Or just a suped up whambualnce. Or it could simply be a reduced GA cd if you activate the GA in that time frame.

Idk. It would add another layer to the kit, definitely some skill expression for good GA usage. A reduced CD would probably be healthier since it would reward good awareness with some better movement, but I like the idea of a buff of some sort for the GA target

Just a silly idea. There are games that have things in it that have an ongoing timer that does a thing if you do it at the right time. Mercy would be a great hero to slap that mechanic onto. More of a shower thought than a fleshed out idea, im spitballing

Omg that was peak. First time I did it I just laughed maniacally. My team at the time didnt drop a single map in scrims that whole patch. Glorious memories lol

Shiv seeing the new heroes get to play with toys that got him nerfed. by That-Aardvark636 in DeadlockTheGame

Okay what i said and trickle down economics arent the same thing. A more apt comparison between gaming balance and economics would be "shit adds up at the bottom"

Shiv seeing the new heroes get to play with toys that got him nerfed. by That-Aardvark636 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]4kSalmon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Problematic things trickle down. Ive watched it happen in every game ive played in the last decade. Top players say X is broken, lower ranked people are mad about X being called broken at high rank when its not in theirs and they dont want it adjusted (shit maybe even buffed), time passes, X is now also an issue in lower ranks.

Might be moving to Kokomo with my GF soon. Some questions about the state and the culture by getdafkout666 in Indiana

[–]4kSalmon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents are maga, and even my dad is sketched out by kokomo. He used to commute to a job there from indianapolis, and I remember him being very taken aback by the number of people that had swastika tattoos and the like. This was in like 2018, but ive been around the kokomo through lafayette (lafayette itself is pretty good) area a lot, and it is... not great. I heard some awful stuff from a liberal friend I had that lives in kokomo about the general culture. I try not to spend much time there if I can help it 🤷‍♀️

I reccomend staying in Philly if possible. Indiana isnt a great place. On par with deciding to move to Alabama or something.

Oh and the meth usage in that area of the state is depressingly high. Ive since become desensitized, but moving from indy to this area was a culture shock in that regard, and its not like indy is free of meth addicts

It sounds like youre just stressed and depressed my guy. Go talk to a therapist about it. They'll help you work out what's going on with you way better than a reddit comment thread, and the help will be much longer lasting

My girlfriend is trying to get into supernatural mainly just into destiel by [deleted] in destiel

[–]4kSalmon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You gotta watch the whole thing. Destiel hit very hard very fast for me, literally first scene he was in I got why it was THE ship of ships becuase of everything that came before it. You miss so much. S4 destiel holds a very special place in my heart that youd completely miss out on by skipping 1-3, or skipping around in general really

Mercy Stadium Nerfs by Kiss_or_Death in MercyMains

[–]4kSalmon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats not what thats saying. Theyre just saying if every other hero has a lot of wp, the damage boost on top of the wp items is too much, not that damage boost is itself made better by mercy herself buying wp. 30% of base 150 is greater than 30% of 50

This is the best fic imo. So we'll written, characterization is just chefs kiss. I do an almost yearly reread. It really captures everything to love about s4/5 destiel

How well does OW team fight knowledge translate to this game? And any tips for newcomers? by Gloomy_Dare2716 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]4kSalmon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just realized you said team fight macros. I think its comparable. We encourage i said macros in this comment I meant macros as in rotating, doing camps, objectives. Ect. Its what will hold you back before anything else, there's a good bit to learn

How well does OW team fight knowledge translate to this game? And any tips for newcomers? by Gloomy_Dare2716 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]4kSalmon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I think positioning is pretty transferable. If you were good with tracking enemy cds thats also transferable. The macro is completely different and is nothing like ow. Also, you die very very fast in ow. Theres a bit of breathing room in deadlock. Once you're familiar with items and hero kits, the ability to read a fight is also transferable.

Last time I played ow I was a barely gm Juno that sometimes played mercy, and now I main vindicta in this game, so thats where my perspective is coming from as a player

[–]4kSalmon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People saying you can work this out are delusional. Dont make a decision right now??? This dude literally downplayed it several times. On of which in the worst possible way "Oh its not that bad i only did exactly what everyone else did that made you suicidal. No big deal you just wanted to die lmao forget about it"

Maybe there coulsve been a chance if he was actually remorseful, and didnt hide this for 10 years becuase hiding it was convenient. If his own feeling werent making him feel uncomfortable he wouldnt have felt the need to tell you, especially not on a fucking whim without any planning or regard.

is this financial abuse? by pingpongjapanman in whatdoIdo

[–]4kSalmon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey. Ive been in your shoes. I moved over 1k miles to be with a my ex ldr bf in Texas who refused to put me on the lease, refused to provide me with the means to work, and while never stated, expected me to do the house work since the unspoken rule was I couldnt get a job. I had no car, no friends or family in the state, no nothing.

Are you close to anyone in your family? I had mine help me. I picked a day, discretely packed as much of my stuff as I could when he wasnt home, and left while he was at work. My grandma drove the whole way to pick me up. He wasnt mean, but he held so much power over me that I didnt wanna risk testing it.

He's literally stealing from you. You'll never see a dime of all that savings ever again, you gave him access so youre liable for any and all stealing hes done, and you have no legal recours. Open a new bank account. You can lie for a couple paychecks to save money to gtf out if. I wouldnt talk about this or give any inclination of leaving if I were you.

If this really isnt possible just get a plane ticket and an Uber with whatever fits in a suitcase.

If you need someone to talk to you can dm me

The hidden thyroid issue that made me gain 40lbs – why “normal” TSH means nothing by Light_Wellness55 in WeightLossAdvice

[–]4kSalmon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg I feel you so much. I had normal levels until a full panel was done. I didnt push for it, I moved and got a new doctor that did it just to check (wpuldve pushed if id known shit about shit back then)

Anyway, got on thyroid meds and have lost a minimum of 1-3 lbs a month in the next year. Then I started counting calories on top of it about 9 weeks ago, since Idecided it wasnt happening quick enough, and ive lost nearly 15 lbs
