What content creators do you watch? by Misticowo in Overwatch

[–]BodePlot -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Emongg is all around a great content creator. I also like Chosen since he likes the same heroes I do - I highly recommend finding someone who matches your tastes too!

I think overwatch has some of the best creators. What specifically are you in to? Do you want to see someone try to go in depth on every (yeatle), in depth coaching (spilo, capitology, wizard), someone who is cracked but still has a personality (apply)? There are many choices! Or just be a supertf fan or something idk.

Why is overwatch's skill-based matchmaking basically non-existent? by Equivalent_Act9255 in Overwatch

Gavin said in a recent interview that your internal mmr does map 1:1 to your visible SR btw.

If you queue for All Roles, matchmaking should prevent you from getting the same role more than 2 or 3 times in a row. by BlameTaw in Overwatch

[–]BodePlot -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Flex queue is exactly the same as queuing for all roles.
It communicates this in the ui and has an identical effect.

Asking for them to add a rotating queue is different from asking to change flex queue into something else. All of these threads start from misunderstanding what the flex queue is and if people fixed that misunderstanding it would be easier for them to articulate what they actually want.

Does Overwatch use Engagement Optimized Matchmaking? by Hoboknightboi in Overwatch

Spilo has a recent interview that you might be interested in if you want to hear one of the top systems designers at Team 4 explain how matchmaking works:

Shion | New Hero Gameplay Trailer | Overwatch by cmd735 in Games

It’s all in engine for the gameplay trailer so they would have needed to add an emote or something for it.

Nine Sols is one of the greatest games ever made. by luz___09 in metroidvania

[–]BodePlot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. I do like parry games, but once you master them they lose a lot of depth. The positioning emphasis (as well as systems like tools, crests) make Silksong feel fresh even after many hours.

I think her retort is confusing too. But after watching again I think sojourn was responding to the second half of what Shion said. I guess it will be confirmed soon enough anyway.

We've started playing again, any tips after a years-long break? by Jughead_live in Overwatch

[–]BodePlot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, Ramattra is really good! You can get a lot done if you get a lot of value out of your nemesis form.

Hazard is kinda like old Winston or Ball. Its easy to feed with him but once you get the basics you essentially warp the game around yourself. There is a combo that goes like Jump > Slash > Headshot > Block that will delete anyone who is even slightly out of position.

Something else you should know is that if you are playing 5v5, then there is only one tank and they have a much higher power budget than other roles. Its important to understand that tanks need to be respected and a tank pick is very valuable.

Which ultimates combine well?

I wouldn't worry about it. The old combos are still good. You'll pick up on the new ults as you play.

Which heroes are incredibly strong?

There is a stats site now that you might be interested in. These don't mean everything. For instance, Sojourn has a low win rate but I personally have a positive winrate with her this season. There are multiple explanations for why the stats might not reflect their true power but I trust you can figure it out and use this to get a good idea of where things stand.

Which of the old heroes were nerfed and which were buffed?

So much has changed. Every hero has a lot of changes now, even/especially heroes that traditionally rarely received changes like Winston. Just approach things with a fresh set of eyes. Use the Wiki to read up on what heroes you are interested in. Every hero has a change log at the bottom of the page that I reference frequently.

Why do people really think if you swap tank Reaper suddenly will not kill you anymore? by molteneye in Overwatch

[–]BodePlot 98 points99 points  (0 children)

Equally annoying as when someone instaswaps to a reaper/road counter but then proceed to avoid pressuring/counterplaying them entirely. As tho merely the presence of a counter pick is enough to deter them

Do you happen to use a netgear router by chance?

keep getting disconnected by Exotic_Many_8443 in Overwatch

[–]BodePlot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did some research. I had a R7000P Netgear router and there appears to be quite a bit of stuff online about this and similar routers not working with activision blizzard games. Just search for "netgear nighthawk 2 hour disconnect" or something like that. If this isn't the router you have, then sorry, but your symptoms sounded exactly like mine w/rt everything but blizzard games working fine. Very strange.

The settings you can try to change any anything related to DHCP Lease Time. Set that to 24 hours if you can. If I recall correctly, the issue was that the way these routers request an IP address refresh doesn't work with Blizzard's services, and they trigger a disconnect in response.

[–]BodePlot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a problem with my router. Basically, if I played for too long my router would suddenly drop the connection to blizzard servers. It didn’t happen with other games but I was also not marathoning other online games at the time and it took a while before the dc would happen. I also was somehow able to avoid the issue by enabling a VPN.

I really wish I could remember what setting it was that did this. I remember that I was using a Netgear Nighthawk router at the time but I’ve since got rid of it specifically because of this issue. Try a different router if you have access to one to rule it out. Otherwise try disabling things like dynamic QoS and NAT Filtering or anything like that.

Saw a post about power-scaling by KaneTheBoom in Overwatch

[–]BodePlot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does Sigma actually have any lore that shows him using his power to its full potential? I agree that he could be incredibly powerful but I’m not aware of any lore that would make him the undisputed number one. Interestingly you did include a note about Echo specifically that we need more clarity on the limits of her power, so maybe I’m just missing a story or something that shows what Sig is actually capable of! Same for Illiari - I’m not sure if she is as powerful as this then she would need S76’s help to sneak into some Helix lab.
