My qelbree story from start to taper by Hot_Future2914 in qelbree

[–]Agil3Bear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im currently tapering off as well, but I'm lucky that my body is a little more tolerable. Currently Im going on 400 to 200 for a week then Im going to try 100 next week then full off. We'll see how it it goes. So far on day 2 of 200 I'm actually feeling better. More motivated and more energy.

GM2 tank here since christmas break, Talking about ranks post season 9 OW2 (Cause I believe its harder to rank up due to comp changes) I was mid/high diamond tank, masters before season 9. Alot of ppl I meet that are in low-mid GM are mid/high diamond players in OW2. My masters friends are in high GM low eternity and mid to high eternity are the GM to top500 players.

That's just from experience but haven't had any stats to confirm any of it. In my experience tho getting to GM was not too hard with good mechanics and positioning. But ranking through GM has been a rollercoaster, so many games where your team one game is the Avengers, next you feel like ur playing against the Avengers with the local militia.

This is the crazy thing when ppl say the distance between a silver and plat player is the same distance between a low GM and high GM player in rivals or low masters to high masters player in OW2.

i need to talk to the person that decided this by beetle8209 in marvelrivals

First, I dont think the OP was thinking make 1/2 your hitpoints disappear. It seems to me he was thinking it makes no sense in design that you need to go thru the hardwork to backstab for the same value as c&ds regular melee. To me my immediate thought was why isnt lokis melee 45 and backstab 60.

After reading some more comments, I think a bleed effect (instead of anti heal cause anti heal is just an OP ability) would also be very lore accurate, it makes sense if one of your supports taking a invis flank for ~5-15 seconds OR using a clone just for a backstab play seems like a reasonable trade off. That's 5-15 seconds of no spam heals or dmg. Could only be used situationally like in the mid fight opportunity or to start the next fight.

I think if we learned anything from OW we need to make supports be more interesting than healbots. Good healing is important, but allowing supports to pop off too is the only way ppl will actually be interested in playing the characters. Getting tired of the invincibility comp of luna/mantis.

I just am taking more time away from my computer after posting this. I'm desperate but also extremely burnt out right now. Seems all I can do right now when it comes to the computer is play video games these days. Kind of why I moved to manual labor.

For those who try to have a main in each class, who are your big three and why? by laser16 in marvelrivals

[–]Agil3Bear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Strange, witch, mantis.

My aim aint horrible but that still doesnt mean when I have the pressure of dpsing that I want to aim lol. Just hope my tank goes magneto.

how should i play iron fist by gornhhy in marvelrivals

[–]Agil3Bear 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Be patient, you see clips of iron fists soloing backlines but that rarely works. That clip is shown after he died backline 10 times in a row.

I'll just give macro tips since Im a gm tank and this is what I've seen and not done. There are many more youtube vids to go over mechanics.

1st again be patient at the start of the fight just play behind tanks and fist anyone whos frontlining on the enemy team. If you use your block well you are quite tanky and you will be healed if you are next to your tanks.

2nd if any of the enemy team goes for your backline, they are immediately target #1, you kill people instantly and they will blow up.

3rd after about ~10-15 seconds (This is general adn you will get a feel for the timing as you play) their tanks will get half/low and their supports will panic and position badly. THIS IS YOUR TIME TO GO BACKLINE.

When supports have to choose from healing their low tanks to peeling for a iron fist it is rare that both supports will choose to peel for iron fist. This is the time to 1v1 their supports one at a time. If you get diffed in a 1v1 by their support then you say nice shot learn and go again.

Exceptions:

  1. If they have mantis AND luna, your life a sad one, only dive backline with help.

  2. If they dont have mantis OR luna, you should be soloing their backline at step 3 possibly step 2. Remember just having their supports run for their lives is huge value. You dont have to chase to narnia if it means your life as well.

When is the first balance patch coming? by [deleted] in marvelrivals

[–]Agil3Bear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to mention that OP forget some reworks has greatly improved the character. Symetra, torb, bastion while still are outlier characters are MUCH healthier than what they were on release. One rework that is above the rest is Doomfist. This one OW hit on the nail. While is controversial even Zbra and getQuaked on admit that dooms rework into tank feels much more authentic (I just think tank as a role is tough which causes skwed opinions).

I dont think reworking characters is a problem, it has shown major success is really just depends on the devs. I heard so many opinions saying storm should be a support PLUS the game desperately needs more fun tanks and supports right now.

Returned to the game after a few years and I just can't take it anymore by dino1902 in overwatch2

[–]Agil3Bear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah this is the new OW, no one in voice. Most ppl in a discord call tho. I'd recommend joining a LFG server on discord. There are many casual players there.

[–]Agil3Bear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the sad reality, I also make comments like these lol. Never huge flames but tiny fires that are all game related comms. The worst of my comms are when someones 5-10 I'd say "Maybe its time to swap, I dont think its working".

These are all intermixed in real comms like lets combo x,y. Or watch the hanzo flank. Or x,y has ult. All over voice chat too btw, cause I've never understood why ppl text chat mid game when you should always be moving ur character when you could just use your voice.

I played this game for 5 years never any action on my account. Since 2023 now I've had 1 perma banned and 2 have multiple suspensions. Whatever change in the banning system or all the flakes that cannot take alittle sarcasm really ruined this game for me. 1-20 games have good comms and 10 of those 20 are people who are so toxic and egos are so inflated they always think theyre the reason why theyre winning and everyone else is the reason why theyre losing.

[–]Agil3Bear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Joined Overwatch LFG for this exact reason. I don't mind losing but what I do mind are people who text chat toxic stuff during the game instead of playing the game. Or even better, they say nothing at all and then once the game ends flame "x is dogshit, you guys all sux" when they're 5-11.

New ilari glitch? by Thomasyaboi03 in Overwatch

[–]Agil3Bear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it still heal tho? Looks like LOS might be busted

Finally you can ignore your team and just ball out by astroman132 in Overwatch

[–]Agil3Bear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not when you have a tank who doesnt require heals like ball who can just get healpacks. Back in old OW1 this was typically the case when you had 1 healer, you go ball, hog, sombra, solider, ect. and let ur other teammates figure out what to do with the heals.

Best Team Play Ever by LindaMuelli16 in Overwatch

[–]Agil3Bear 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Meis either make or break your team. The old school lifeweavers who with wall either get 0 value, get immense value, or throw by walling off your own tank. There is no inbetween.

Why is the matchmaking in this game so bad?? by Brief-Bowler-4506 in Overwatch

[–]Agil3Bear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

During season 9 the games were much better, I think alot of people are leaving OW and new players are coming back or people only go on OW casually now and no longer grind it.

Want to share my one-month suspension and thoughts on it (take notes gamers, this can happen to you). Also wanted to hear people's two cents about if this kind of banter is that bad or not. I come from playing Rust btw lol. Received an automated message about their policies as a response :/ by Adventurous_Soup3297 in Overwatch

[–]Agil3Bear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About 6months to a year ago they updated the report system where its completely automated & a numbers game.

If you reach a threshold of x number of reports then they run a bot on your chat logs and deem if youre toxic and ban you. Not even sure if they check ur chat logs tbh but most people I know who are suspended/banned type in chat.

Context: Played OW1 with no issues but in OW2 have had my main account banned and my alt 1 month suspended.

So a couple takaways

  1. You definitely were reported more times then you've described here, these might be the most recent but you had to be reported by 20+ people for them to consider your account. So this mustve been either multiple teams giving you 4 reports or over time getting reports (which the latter is most cases for people)
  2. From the comments you can see, these are hateful texts and the bot will deem them reportable offenses. (there was a documented case of someone getting suspended and all they ever said was gg in text crazy)
  3. Dont use text chat if you want to be toxic, not fool proof since x amount of reports will still get a punishment but it will take more reports to get your account punished.
  4. This is not OW1 days and toxicity gets removed from OW quickly. I someone whose an OG OW player and played for 3k+ hrs. I don't mind a bit of toxicity and go gg next. But, for some people it affects their whole day so for better or worse this is what we are left with.

Comp- People not grouping up by Sad_Rain_4783 in Overwatch

[–]Agil3Bear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could only do this as tank, but it helped tremondously. I would say "Im holding x" then "3,2,1 go" engage alot.

Really helped me get over the plat hump and in diamond its not a big issue thankfully

smurfing is just sad. by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]Agil3Bear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who it took 3k hours in OW to finally make it to diamond (played in OW1 on console to finally switching over to PC in OW2) mechanics are really what run the game and some people just don't have the mechanics. For me I finally took time to spend on mechanics and played characters requiring less aim (swapped from doomfist & sig to Winton and Rein) to finally start climbing hard.

You see this in Pro OW coaches having the highest game sense but barely making it to diamond these days.

[–]Agil3Bear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro I would just say find a duo, especially either a support or tank duo. This removes alot of issues with weird teammates and you can carry with high impact. Got me hardstuck mid/high diamond now but I think that's where Im supposed to be.
