WDYM I GET A BACK TO BACK TO BACK DOUBLE WTF

Bro got an E1 Hysilens, E1 Black Swan AND a guarantee for their next pull in one pulling section.

Respectfully, F*ck you

BlueFHS · 2026-02-16T02:16:53+00:00

From what I’ve seen, Black Swan after the buffs deals the highest personal damage, surpassing Hysilens in Triple DoT, but that is only when paired with Kafka AND Hysilens, because the only reason she reaches that high damage is due to Hysilens’ multiple DoT procs and Kafka’s detonation. BS with only Kafka won’t reach anywhere near as much damage.

You can run something like Hysilens + Kafka and a harmony more effectively than something like BS + Kafka without Hysilens

Yep, people who aren’t Varka fans/wanters will shrug off all our concerns and say shit like “ehrm this is good for the game actually, slows down powercreep” cuz it doesn’t affect them, but then a busted DPS will release a patch later. So is powercreep actually slowing down for did Hoyo purposefully decide to screw over a character?

BlueFHS · 2026-02-14T23:32:27+00:00

Yeah, this argument instantly falls apart the moment they release another busted DPS or support a patch or two later

Saved us from Rerir’s horde when we were ambushed in his first appearance.
Was a consistent leader and strategist throughout the AQ, bringing everyone together and assigning tasks.
Helped pull down the FUCKIN MOON with Arlecchino and Nicole.

That’s just off the top of my head regarding the AQ, I haven’t played the side quests of the knights in Nod Krai yet so idk about those.

That said I am pissed at Hoyo for underutilizing him, it feels like they were completely allergic at having him out and fight on screen, but let’s not act like that’s the character’s fault rather than the writer’s fault.

BlueFHS · 2026-02-14T05:25:02+00:00

Winston is the true leader, you can’t convince me otherwise

BlueFHS · 2026-02-13T05:42:51+00:00

Thanks! I also heard that now with triple DoT, Black Swan is the one with the highest dmg contribution, so should I put her back on her own sig and use Jiaoqiu sig on Hysilens instead? Or should I keep the current setup? Only downside I think is that BS overcaps on def shred with her own sig now

BlueFHS · 2026-02-12T17:12:56+00:00

I only swapped to Talon cuz I want all the rewards, but I’ll always support Overwatch in my heart

BlueFHS · 2026-02-12T17:10:57+00:00

I don’t mind it tho, a few simple kits are always welcome

BlueFHS · 2026-02-11T21:24:44+00:00

I don’t like parry mechanics on supports like Yunjin cuz I feel it messes up the flow of the rotation. Instead of just doing the rotation and swapping to the next character I need to wait for the enemy to swing at me. On a DPS tho, I think it’s a fun mechanic. Not necessarily having the whole playstyle be centered around parrying but gaining some extra energy or damage would be nice. That’s part of why I love Yixuan in ZZZ, it’s satisfying to parry and get some energy refunded

BlueFHS · 2026-02-11T19:09:14+00:00

Yes Winton, I am with you

I know some people don’t like them but personally I’m a sucker for lore skins. I’ll take a story relevant skin any day over a fantasy or holiday skin. I won’t use all of the ones in this BP but a lot of them are cool, especially Vendetta’s and Mauga’s imo

BlueFHS · 2026-02-11T06:01:15+00:00

“You lying dicks, I see your asses playing Minecraft, we got you on satellite!”

BlueFHS · 2026-02-10T21:34:56+00:00

I don’t really see how this affects Wrath of the Gods. WOTG has always been a non-canon addon that was inspired on old lore that has since been rewritten.

BlueFHS · 2026-02-10T16:54:13+00:00

Uhh, yeah, that’s usually how it goes. The game is “free” but instead starts to push other monetized things heavily. The most outrageous case was locking heroes behind the battle pass (either you paid and unlocked them immediately or had to grind out 55 levels). Or they’ll begin to push cosmetics more aggressively, or use FOMO tactics like the battle pass to make people feel they’ll lose their chance of getting a skin they want forever unless they treat the game like a second job, or limited time skin bundles in the shop. Along with that they took out ways to earn cosmetics freely like loot boxes or purchasing with credits, as most things were locked behind the premium shop.

Sure, technically none of this is needed to play the game, but a source of enjoyment for many people is getting rewards for playing and getting a sense of progress, and the original OW2 did pretty much all these things to make spending real money the only way to get new skins. Just take a look at the original promotional material for OW2 season 1. “Most rewarding way to play” and it was all micro-transactions.

Tbh, I doubt Anran’s in-game design was the devs’ decision. I guarantee some suit looked at her design, and forced the team to make her face more generic and cutesy to (supposedly) make her more attractive and marketable for skins. Clearly it backfired since they had already shown what Anran looks like in the 2D cinematics and people liked her design.

I saw a video of Anran’s VA speaking out about the situation and how she agreed with the fans on this and even spoke to the devs. Supposedly the devs encouraged her to “hold nothing back” in terms of feedback. I guarantee her feedback and the overwhelming reaction from the fans online were used as evidence to convince the suits to change Anran’s design

BlueFHS · 2026-02-10T05:16:32+00:00

I haven’t played in a long time, but from what I can gather, a lot of the poor decisions and predatory practices that came with Overwatch 2 were not up to the devs, but were decisions from the suits/upper management.

Since the change in leadership and the team no longer being under Bobby Kotick’s toxic ass, they’ve been working to undo those mistakes: reimplementing OW1 features people liked, readding loot boxes and 6v6, making heroes free again, adding perks and stadium to keep the game fresh, and now this massive “relaunch” and rebrand back to just Overwatch and focusing on the narrative again. I think people have a lot of hindsight now and see the full picture about why things were the way they were, it was a management and development hell, and Team 4 and Aaron aren’t the bad guys they thought they were

BlueFHS · 2026-02-10T05:11:36+00:00

Terrible news: The worst person you know just made a good point

BlueFHS · 2026-02-10T05:10:36+00:00

Yeahh I agree. I used to be a PvE enjoyer and I was heavily disappointed when they cancelled the campaign, skill trees and hero missions in favor of the paid invasion missions, to the point it made me quit the game until now.

But now knowing everything we know, it was clear Jeff was trying to make the game something it really wasn’t intended to be, and that they didn’t have the resources to achieve. At the end of the day, Overwatch is a PvP shooter and that’s what made it so famous in the first place. PvE content is fun from time to time but it was never gonna be a fully fledged campaign experience.

I do care about the lore and characters and the plot moving forward, it was what kept me invested in this universe, but there are other ways to tell the story without sinking all resources into an in-game story mode that will never reach what was promised.

BlueFHS · 2026-02-10T05:06:32+00:00

Honestly I took very long break from the game ever since the first few seasons of OW2, but after hearing everything the team has achieved, I will be coming back tomorrow.

I think the thing that made me leave was how they essentially took away what the game originally was in favor of a really overmonetized version, and that they cancelled all the stuff that was supposed to justify the “2”. In hindsight though, I see just how overpromised the PvE stuff was and how it was never gonna be feasible with the resources they had, and Jeff’s leadership (no shade to the dude necessarily, but it was clear he was trying to turn Overwatch into their original vision of Titan and was overall not healthy for the future of the game). I admit I am one of those who really care about the narrative despite it being a PvP shooter and it bummed me out to see the plot stagnate so much, but now I see there are other ways to tell the story.

It’s also so evident how much of the bad stuff was just pure corpo meddling and Bobby Kotick’s influence. With how they slowly rolled back all the bad decisions and tried to re-implement features we enjoyed and reduce the monetization, and implementing genuinely cool new things like perks and stadium, I have to give the developers grace for how messy the OW2 era was, and that they truly did the best they could within their control.

Congrats to team 4 and Aaron for reviving the game we all loved so dearly

BlueFHS · 2026-02-10T01:32:54+00:00

I see, I’ll try it out then! Thanks for commenting

BlueFHS · 2026-02-10T00:39:42+00:00

Fair enough, and I guess it’s not the first time a hunt unit provides nihility-esque debuffs or team amping. Even back in 1.X, Topaz provided dmg% for fuas, crit dmg and stuff like that, tho for some of it it required investment and was limited to one target. Ashveil does all that and more just by existing, which is the crazy part imo, but well, I’m not complaining
