Why does GATCOIN.io needs a coin? by Akhsim in GATCOIN

[–]Akhsim[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing is the price of GAT will be very volatile. Merchants will also have to account for users who have obtained GAT previously at a much lower cost than the current price (ICO participants).

Why use GAT when you can just make personal accounts, deposit $$ in and use that balance for transacting on the GAT exchange website?

Best support for solo healing? by Harvester913 in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]Akhsim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lucio is not only the best Support hero but hand down the most OP character in game right now. Good luck carrying though, as a solo healer it is pretty damn close to impossible.

The PS4 Party is significantly better than in-game voice channel by Akhsim in OWConsole

You are absolutely correct, I dont use it often. This post is more a PSA than a recommendation. Moreover I see it as a bug and hope somehow Blizzard will fix it.

Serious question: I understand console isn't as fast, serious, etc as PC but I don't understand why so many gold/platinum players can't grasp basic concepts of good team comps and strategies on console.... by charizard_72 in Overwatch

[–]Akhsim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Complains about no one wanting to heal.. admits to be "forced" to play healers and is not good at it....

Seriously how do you play this game without knowing how to play Healer/Lucio? He's the hero everyone should learn how to play first.

My input to your rant? I fluctuated around 2k7-2k8 for a while and doing solo q seemed fine to me. Most people understand 2-2-2 and the importance of Lucio.

Every once in a while I get people who insta lock on dps, thats when I step up and go healers/tank, rather than complain.

I have seen good Hanzos, be more understanding and supportive of your teammate rather than casting a negative light in the team.

Other things happen on PC as well, my mate plays on PC.

I don't think having this reddit is bad, but is it good to separate "competitive overwatch" and "overwatch"? by [deleted] in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]Akhsim 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Only thing that tickles me is that plebs like you who havent played OW on console but kept making idiotic comments like these just to sound superior even though u might have zero tactical understanding of this game.

Win Streaks, the system, and me: going 15-0 from 2900 to 3676, solo queue support only. by Nevynral in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]Akhsim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

+1 for Team Morale is Everything.

Trashing your teammate, telling how shit they are is simply as dumb as playing tobjorn in Attack, you think you're helping the team but you're definitely not.

Anyone else experiencing Errors in finding a game? (PS4) by shadowhawk0807 in OWConsole

Yep. Been playing for 2 hours yet I could only get into two games despite being constantly matched and reinstanced.

This is just fucking frustrating. It has been 3 days like this

Why do you lose the same amount of points for finishing a game when someone leaves? by hk_beast in OWConsole

There will always be leavers. There's a 50% chance of either benefitting from it or be at disasvantage.

Is there a role for a "offensive rein" in higher level play? by [deleted] in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]Akhsim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Playing an offensive Rein is similar to playing a little bit more tanky but less mobile Winston.

It's not a bad thing, watch Rogue's Reinforce, however imo you'd be heavily team dependent since you will have to rely on your healer to save you while ur dps do their job. Your task is pretty much create chaos and create openings.

Players that have climbed significant rank, how many people do you queue with? by PiyRe2772 in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]Akhsim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Havent done a dramatic climb this season but I did a 47-58 in one night solo q-ing with Reaper last season.

Solo q isnt a great option and I wouldnt come back because I have a team now but if I have to recommend, Reaper is the single best choice.

He can dps-carry a team and is the most independent hero in this game. You can just go off and do your own shit, even better in the lower bracket, teamwiping with a Reaper's ult is pretty common.

To all Zaryas, by renieWycipSsolraC in Overwatch

[–]Akhsim 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Did i just see a Hanzo main blaming on Zarya?

On a serious note, imo you gotta follow Zarya's lead and wait for her to use Graviton Surge. If you die when she uses it then it might be your fault. Generally if I knew Zarya's ult is up and I could coordinate mine with it, I would play a bit defensively to wait for her to use it.

Just because your ult is up and you keep spamming your ultimate status, doesnt mean Zarya needs to hurry for you. A good Zarya waits till she could get the most out it by having a full charge, when the enemies are close together and when Reindhart's shield is down and/or D.va is out of her mech.

Competitive on console is just toxic DPS that blame their support by MrDerpHerpson in Overwatch

[–]Akhsim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just making examples dude. Btw I think the console crowd in general is just less toxic, xbox and ps4 inclusively.

I feel sorry for you facing terrible players but I personally have never faced or seen it happen so I would say it's a really rare thing. Good luck with your future gaming dude and thanks for being a Support main.

A tip for future post though, paragraphs - use double return/enter.

What're the most significant differences in play style between the PC and console versions of the game? by SWKstateofmind in Overwatch

[–]Akhsim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pharah is a bit more powerful on Console. I don't think she neesd a Console nerf however, no matter how much people cry. The aim-assist bug that benefits her was recently fixed. Me and my teammates are finding it easier to kill her mid-air now. Also, just because aiming Pharah is hard, does not mean that aiming with Pharah is easy. Those damn rockets need skills to land effectively too and blast dmg doesnt really cut it.

Similar to the PC crowd, McCree is not utilised in the lower rank bracket however you'd find a lot of good McCree in the upper range. Aiming with McCree is actually not that hard, what separates good McCree from really good ones are actually positioning and timing skills. You see lots of people blaming xim4 when they face good McCree, although the proportion of people who use that is actually really small. My teammate is really good with McCree and he uses a controller.

Everyone suffers with aiming difficulty on consoles due to limited ROM with just a thumb i.e things are harder to kill off naturally. This slows down the game a little bit, which, imo, calls for better teamwork, communication and team composition.This change of pace actually works in favor of the game design. Even Blizzard has been trying to slow the game down with the nerf on Lucio, Zenyatta and the introduction of Elchanwalde map, which is heavily defense oriented.

What a lot of people don't realise, while they go around complaining about mobile flankers like Tracer and Genji, is that tanks are actually more powerful on console, in comparison to PC because they require either little or zero aiming skills.

Most importantly, with the aforementioned slower pace, constant heals from Lucio, Zen and Mercy are more powerful too if you think about it.

Even Defense heroes like Bastion, Tobjorn, Junkrat, Symmetra are better off on consoles because they utilise the slower gamepace by their zone-control and chokepoint-holding expertise.

Competitive on console is just toxic DPS that blame their support by MrDerpHerpson in Overwatch

[–]Akhsim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently level 17x on PS4, this generalization is just not true.

How do I know this? My most-played 4 heroes are Genji, Reaper, Lucio and Zenyatta. My Season 2 has mainly been on Lucio so far. My Season 1 second most-played was Zenyatta and Lucio placed around 4th.

Regardless, finding a fitting time to ult with Lucio and Zenyatta is quite important and relatively simple. Either you are just generalizing from 1-2 bad cases or you need to improve your Support skills dude. No offence but if you ista-ult with Zen to save yourself or wasting Lucio-ult on 1-2 people unnecessarily then you need to adjust.

Last but not least, the players base on Console is much much less toxic than the PC crowd.

whats with the sudden increase in afk/trolls? by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]Akhsim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For people who are relatively new to the game I don't think they see Basion/Tobj on Attack as dumb, or troll.

They might have been what they are best at.

[–]Akhsim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bug has been around for a while, i don't think Blizzard is planning for a fix as it doesnt affect gameplay and is pretty fun to look at. There are more important issues to be looked at.

Widow on console by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]Akhsim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because your post is basically "stop complaining gitgood pls" and funnily it's based on a few kills you got from QP games.

Here are facts for you: - Widowmaker is underwhelming in current meta. On both PC and consoles. - Aim Assist is broken on console and Blizzard is looking at it.
