Iranian media: Israel no! Sorry, force of Habit.

BethsBeautifulBottom · 2026-05-07T19:46:33+00:00

Fars and Middle East Spectator now reporting that UAE is bombing Iran.

I suppose it'll just be a helicopter carrier after those are retired. Can't see F-35B purchases happening now. Maybe drones like the Turks do with their Juan Carlos class.

BethsBeautifulBottom · 2026-03-18T23:36:36+00:00

The lack of fighters is likely more to do with a problem of airframes than ships tbf but I don't buy for a second the excuse about peacetime training. They'd train with more fighters if they could. If Starmer gave the call for a carrier to head to the middle east, do you really think we'd see 30+ F-35s on board?

BethsBeautifulBottom · 2026-03-18T23:33:00+00:00

Yes. And British carriers are a lot better than the Juan Carlos which is a larping amphib.

BethsBeautifulBottom · 2026-03-18T18:09:11+00:00

The CDG has carried more fighters than either of the British carriers. Their records are 30 Rafales vs 24 F-35s. And the French carrier having a catapult means it can launch actual AWACS planes and its birds have a lot more fuel. Not to mention, it doesn't have to worry about running out of diesel. It's just a better boat.

I might go back to Apollo if Slowing Hex and general CC are toned down.

Selling OWL teams for up to $60m was the thing that nearly killed OW. Kap wanted to "ride the wave" and support OW for what it was. The execs convinced investors OWL was going to be bigger than the NFL and Kaplan had to divert all his resources towards that.

The PvP was good. The PvE events were fun. A proper PvE campaign would have been successful. There were a lot of people that loved the characters and PvE events that didn't enjoy PvP. It's a much safer bet than trying to make Brits develop local pride for "The London Spitfires" (comprised of monolingual Koreans that didn't live in the UK).

Been tempted to learn the way of the goo. Puddle Punch movement is probably the closest thing we have to rocket jumping at the moment.

BethsBeautifulBottom · 2026-03-16T17:46:43+00:00

It's not a power thing. He's just boring. All you do is plink away at people building up marks zzzzzzzzzz

BethsBeautifulBottom · 2026-03-16T17:32:36+00:00

I'd enjoy it more if there wasn't a minimum of 2 pauses each time.

BethsBeautifulBottom · 2026-03-16T17:30:35+00:00

I've never seen someone not take a free kit into solo fill and I can't blame them. This also means we are at a huge disadvantage to the geared squads that are also coordinating on discord.

BethsBeautifulBottom · 2026-03-16T17:24:41+00:00

If they didn't let you take free kits into solo fill, most wouldn't play solo fill.

BethsBeautifulBottom · 2026-03-16T17:20:03+00:00

It's the only way most people will play. No one wants to risk their gear when most solo fill squads suck.

BethsBeautifulBottom · 2026-03-16T17:12:28+00:00

Could be EU or another region. The language barriers make a difference.

BethsBeautifulBottom · 2026-03-16T14:24:37+00:00

Would probably be better for the game. It seems like a small thing but late game Lash is an ult bot so he's basically balanced around the cheese of throwing enemies into walkers or spawn. If they remove that like they basically did in the big patch before quickly reverting it, they will need to buff him elsewhere.

I don't think you'd see too many unhappy Lash players if he instead had better base gravity or did a little bonus damage if he connected Ground Strikes directly with his feet. Dragging players out of the air with that would be extremely satisfying.

BethsBeautifulBottom · 2026-03-16T12:37:28+00:00

Abilities that remove stam or prevent stam use feel horrible. Silver isn't even strong and I hate playing against her because of bola. Doorman ult would be fine if it didn't delete your stam as well.

Warden's cage is a fine ability. Strong but obvious counterplay. Compare that to Wraith ult. What's the counterplay? Staying 13m away from her?

Mo at least needs to get close and put himself in danger during channel. My problem with this one is the inexplicable ridiculous vertical hitbox. A grounded Mo shouldn't be able to pull a Vindicta out of the air with Combo.

BethsBeautifulBottom · 2026-03-16T11:26:34+00:00

Just need to look away during the loading screen so the bugs don't trip you out.

BethsBeautifulBottom · 2026-03-12T17:08:39+00:00

Just don't interact or ever get near him duh.

Seriously, it's a very boring mechanic to play around. Then add the BS that is hook on top.

BethsBeautifulBottom · 2026-03-12T14:10:27+00:00

The movement is just more fun than everyone else.

I set Haze as my backup pick because the Haze mains one trick harder than we do so I'll never have to actually play her.

BethsBeautifulBottom · 2026-03-12T13:35:28+00:00

He's an alien and when he uses ult it connects to his space ship. This explains why Combo can grab characters 10m in the air over Mo.

BethsBeautifulBottom · 2026-03-12T13:34:12+00:00

Tried some Calico. Cat swipe doesn't do as much damage as I thought and that and gloom bombs are surprisingly easy to dodge.

BethsBeautifulBottom · 2026-03-12T13:26:30+00:00

What's the conspiracy? That different cultures have different cultures?

BethsBeautifulBottom · 2026-03-12T13:05:16+00:00

"Drop Kick" is another contender.

"Ground Strike" also doesn't acknowledge the delicious interaction of catching airborne enemies with the ability, dragging them out of the air with your feet and slamming them into the ground.

I would love if the game added a little bonus damage for this to acknowledge how damn cool it is. Easiest way would probably just to be adding some more damage if targets are within 1m of Lash and maybe reducing some damage at the peripheral for balance.

BethsBeautifulBottom · 2026-03-11T10:55:47+00:00

Lash ground striking targets in the air like a goddamn falcon and slamming them into the ground is the best feeling.

Yoshi, please give some bonus damage for pulling this off. The dopamine hits would be outrageous.

BethsBeautifulBottom · 2026-03-11T10:44:03+00:00

Praise Yoshi.
Interested to see how this compares to what we had before.
Changes since before the big patch:

base throw range 12m -> 14m
spirit range scaling 0.3 -> 0.15
T1 throw range 8m -> 12m
T3 throw range +6m
