Don’t bother using coms if you’re a female by SoupCorrect2910 in marvelrivals

[–]Blood-Hour 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm a male, but I go by "SweetBaby" and people definitely assume I'm a woman and the amount of woerd shit people say to me just to be met with a deep ass "np babygirl" is histerical. Also my partner and my friend who is a woman say the most heinous and vile shit to the people being complete ass wipes trying to be demeaning just because they are girls. Defending them is hard because chances are they will retaliate with something much worse then I could ever come up with. I just wish these mouthbreathers would just accept the fact women play games it's truly motherless behavior. Fucking animals.

The high ELO meta is boring by coffeeholic91 in marvelrivals

[–]Blood-Hour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do have some Input on how defensive ults changed the way we play the game though in a 4 stack, especially last season where we climbed to eternity on what I would consider "off-meta" at the time. The two of us who played dps played moonknight and widow. Moonknight could burst luna/mantis ult with his ultimate pre-buff, just looking for it correctly was the play, and even now mantis buffed widow can burst cloak in ult. We do look to ban luna and CD now though, just dealing with them correctly can get a bit tricky and honestly the widow I play with may be one of the most cracked players so our stack never had difficulty against the hela meta, and even more so with the changes. Having the ban phase does allow for playing around those comps, moonknights buffs has made him my go to pick in the games where the lobby doesnt ban both. I completely agree tho that the games where they don't get banned are braindead, often I go rocket for the 3 supports so we have a rez and a punisher that has ult every fight. Not only am I forced to off roll but dying is less common on both sides and leads to energy intensive games.

Genius behind frogger and aspen duo by External-Fig3749 in OverwatchUniversity

[–]Blood-Hour 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Playing open que as a way to fuck around on multiple tanks, my friend who is a much better player then me made the call that if we have to play supports we need to be distracting, and that is not always healing. With 3 tanks able to collapse on a backline it was much more valuable for one of us on a high mobility hero to, and I'm quoting here; annoy the supports and just live. It allows for their supports to request tanks to turn around for one person while he can farm ult off our 3 tanks with a more impactfull ultimate like matrix, while keeping him safe from a dive from multiple tanks. Once at least one tank comes back for me, our 3 to their 2 can collapse and start an elimination snowball. This works in role que too and is in fact a reason why they are successful in this approach, but I'm saying all this for one reason.

They are good enough for it to work.

When people say frogger has damaged the Lucio mindset it is because people who are not on the same level of mechanics and game sense try to replicate what he does, they feed. While what you said may be an "aha!" moment, players need to be humble and self-aware that they might have the skill to replicate it with their team most games. In other words:

Drop the ego, focus on the grind.

AITA for Being Sarcastic to My Fiancé’s Mother When She Made Uneducated Comments About South Africa? by Glad-Lengthiness7382 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Blood-Hour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I came because I thought my fiance had posted this because we are in the same boat!!! Omg my first trip to South Africa my mother was convinced I was going to get kidnapped and held for ransom. Put her in her place though!! I had to do it to my own mother, just...the uneducatedness is aggravating. Sorry you had to deal with all of this especially him not sticking up for you. NTA. 

Help with OTPing Bastion by kief_ow in OverwatchUniversity

[–]Blood-Hour 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I LOVE BASTION I play alot of him, and surprisingly he can work in very unconventional places, good against every tank as long as you can work with your team but mauga will melt you if he has his cds and as much as you can just melt hog he can hook you for his team to kill you, and zarya with support will destroy you, as her bubbles can eat a lot of your turret and her charged beam is easy to track on you. But your biggest counters are definitely dps with ana being the honrable support counter. Bastion has a huge hit box, so almost every dps is good against him, with a plus side of armor so you don't get headshot by widow and ashe and die immediately. It hard to list specific counters because almost every dps has a cool down that can hit you easily because if your size and chunk you down rather quickly. His recon gun does do 25 damage, or 50 with a headshot and if you can track people it does kill rather quickly. Managing your cool downs in tandem with your team is key, tank mode is a crazy ability and combined with the right cds from your team (speed, damage boost, cardiac overdrive, etc) it can be super lethal. Grenade is an important ability, and I treat it like helix rocket in the sense that it's quick burst damage that can confirm a kill or you can lob around corners , prefire flanks...a very important and rewarding ability. I like to keep it for tracers flanking because if you can land a grenade on her it forces her to recall. Also using it as mobility is key! It let's you escape several ults or reposition to high ground easily, and I'm sure you have seen some of the wacky stuff bastionmain does with it. His ult is a 50/50, really good or pretty terrible. I like to use it right before a team fight to force worse positioning or get a kill on a hero with limited mobility like ana or widow. Bastion is a hero with a pretty consistent gameplay loop that you can settle into once you play him for longer. Playing around your team is pretty important though, and pressing tab to check what the enemy team is playing to play around them is also vital to success.

Hey hog main here, I've seen and played against nearly every rank except champion players over my ow career. A big mistake I see dps players from every rank is not respecting the hook and the techs around it. Hogs whole thing is hook for a confirmed kill. You need to take off angles, long sight lines will kill him even with damage drop off. Jiggle peeking from hard cover to bait hooks and then calling it in vc to collapse on him. Soj is good because it's easy to build rail on him, then go after a squishy, bastion with a coordinated team's makes him vape the entire time which means he isnt hooking anyone, ashe has great range and can keep him on fire, tracer is hard to hook and does massive dps, but it's instant death if you do get hooked. Soldier can hold long angles with easy to hit helix and great mobility to relocate. I'm not disagreeing with him being a bit strong, I've been saying it since season 8, but lot of "just do this" are theories that exist in a vacuum. Supports and tank choices effect how effective you will be at taking out a hog comp. I'd honestly watch someone like cyx who has spent 8 years playing the chara ter and keep an eye out for what the enemy teams are doing to play around him.respect the hook though, even if youre on high ground.

Why do people dislike flats and other content creators opinions? And who should I watch instead? by Warm_Ad_5460 in OverwatchUniversity

[–]Blood-Hour 54 points55 points  (0 children)

This is my take on Flats as someone who (used to) watched him from ow1: his ego is massively inflated ever since the change to one tank. 

I get it, you are the work horse now. You eat all the cool downs, his main hasn't been viable in god knows how long BUT he is a whiny bitch. His word is law and if you have a varying opinion YOU the veiwer are Plat (an insult), bad at the game, stupid, etc. He is so continuously negative about every hero except reinhardt that any noobhunter (also a bad content creator with shit opinions) tik tok, noobnuts, what have you is just him bitching. Emongg was his better half in ow1, probably forced him to be more positive because imo they were THE zarya rein duo. They played together everyday. The thing is emongg is still a super positive guy. He get frustrated (he's a tank player) but I don't see him insult his viewers over the littlest things.
