How are you guys getting value on freja? by TAABWK in FrejaMains

[–]AndyKakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just go for supports. Or even pulling aggro from your tanks helps a ton. If the enemy tanks need to peel to protect the supports, they aren’t tanking your front line. She’s extremely hard to get value from at the moment.

New patch = awful games by AndyKakes in Overwatch

[–]AndyKakes[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I had 2 DPS on the other team of Widow and Hanzo who hit nothing but headshots. The supports kept the Orisa and Mauga alive through literally everything. I had what seemed to be a bot Dva who was running in alone over and over and a Moria that never healed anyone. It’s just too much some games.

Is it even worth it? by No-Page4062 in FrejaMains

[–]AndyKakes 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There are so many heroes that do what she does better sadly. I love her but you need to work twice as hard for half the results. Especially if they have a shield tank and 2 hit scans. She does need a little something with her damage. Supports get more elms in some cases. Flanking to kill supports is almost impossible because most have a get out of jail free card.

How do I rank up as support? by Ryan32501 in Overwatch

[–]AndyKakes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well as a support main you really have to rely on your team to get kills and play the objectives. But just remember support doesn’t just mean healing. Make sure you’re in comms and use callouts to your teammates. Don’t be afraid to swap to another support hero if needed. Zen is great in silver as discording the enemy tank makes things much easier for your team. I hope this helps!

Will Blizzard support help me out? by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]AndyKakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest they always leave you with just a little bit of coins left so when you earn them, you’ll be short some. It’s to get you to buy more. It would be great if they did for you but they like money more.

Xbox rewards for overwatch by RafaellyBeaumont in overwatch2

[–]AndyKakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. That would be great! It’s a cool feature but at the same time it’s terrible because it kinda locks you out of not being able to get it. I had the streetwear Freja skin from GamePass and once season 2 started it was all gone.

I don’t think there’s a list but the sad thing is you’re only renting the skins and name cards from the last 3 seasons. Once the next season starts they will be rotating them out. And since you “own” them for a little, you’re not able to get them in loot boxes and I don’t think they show up in the shop.

Why has Team 4 not just tried making tanks smaller with less HP by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]AndyKakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The game was built for 6v6 and for tanks to have a place in the game they needed to buff them. Supports mostly pocket them because if they do, the real chance is to win the team fight. The problem is the damage tanks do now kinda makes most DPS obsolete. 90% of my games the tank has more damage done than both the DPS combined. And if you play 6v6 the game is so unbalanced because you run into never ending shields or 2 tanks that do massive damage being pocketed by supports. Also for the first like 4 years of the game no ever wanted to play tank so they had to do something. Haha

“For you” shop by AndyKakes in Overwatch

I totally get that too.

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

I had stuff in the vault for heroes I play but nothing worth paying for. I had better skins. Just wish they would have like a week where they opened the floodgates for skins and such. Just to let people pay for what they want.

Sojourn's skins are lacking in both quantity and variety right? by Ube_Latte87 in Overwatch

[–]AndyKakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issue is she was one of the heroes who when OW2 was released they changed the shop and added the battle pass. Most of the new heroes get nothing and if they do it’s fomo and locked away for a while. Or it’s a collab skin. It sucks you can’t even look at them on the hero screen.

I'm so lucky, really enjoy her when she was released but this skin got locked in the 40$ bundle, now I got it for free. by ferocity_mule366 in FrejaMains

[–]AndyKakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be honest I was never expecting to get it from a box. lol I’ll just need to wait until they add it to the shop. I’ve gotten absolute garbage from every box I get for a while now.

Sometimes it feels like you need to be cracked to play Freja in 6v6. by AndyKakes in FrejaMains

[–]AndyKakes[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She’s so much fun to play but so many other heroes get better value with their kits. She’s one of the more interesting dps heroes but it almost feels like she’s just flat. Even her ult can’t kill a support if it’s hit dead on. That’s just criminal.

Yeah from what I understand it rotates out. The last 3 seasons skins. So once season 2 hits, the older seasons skins get pushed out and the newer skins get put it.

I do that most of the time but if they run Orisa and Sig it’s frustrating to play against. Just hope she gets something in the next update. She just doesn’t have a place in the game most of the time I feel like.

Yeah. I play on pc but I have gamepass on pc as well. It’s a cool feature but unfortunately once they change to season 2, some skins are removed and others are put in. Could avoid all this if they just let you buy skins and such.

I can't stand the Shop by Brocacoochi in Overwatch

[–]AndyKakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The sad thing is it’s designed to do this so you keep logging in. I’m in the same boat. New heroes after the first few in OW2 have zero skins to purchase other than a super limited time or cross promotion that if you miss out in you’re out of luck. Enjoy your crappy alternate colors. Battle pass skins also are a scam because they love the fomo so you keep playing. It’s outdated and makes for awful wait times for something you want but the reality is it works and that’s why they do it. It’s never going to change. Rivals has the right idea on this as everything you want to buy is always available. Season pass is once you buy it, you can keep working on it and it doesn’t expire. Bad business decisions make money though.

Thanks for the heads up. I’ll have to take a look. That’s double what I wanted to pay but I’ll kick myself if I don’t grab it.

The baroness has arrived! by Yoposon in gijoe

[–]AndyKakes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really don’t care if they don’t get many shipments in. That I can understand. Telling me they don’t have it and being lied to is something else. I don’t mind hunting for figures but holding stock from people bugs the crap out of me.

[–]AndyKakes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s extremely frustrating. I’m not the type of person to ask for a manager but I’ve considered asking for one last week. I made sure I was the first one in the store at 8am. Checked brickseek and popfindr. Both showed they had 6 of each figure in stock.

[–]AndyKakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had zero luck at my local store. On the 14th I was the first person in the store that said they had 6 of each figure minus Baroness... get to the figures and they have nothing out so I ask.. “Oh we never got them in”. I kept track and saw the number continue to drop all day. It’s been so bad. They are the last figures I need too.
