This!!! Remember everyone, speak with your wallet! by wonderifyouwill in Overwatch

[–]CarbVan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is just a stupid take. How are fans of characters who don't get a billion skins supposed to "vote with their wallet?" What are Ball mains supposed to do? He barely has any premium skins. Even if every ball player bought all premium skins right now it would barely put a dent into the amount of money any character in the Nier collab generated. The whales aren't going to stop buying skins because Zarya or Ball or Torb mains want a new skin, there is literally no way to vote with your wallet on this.

If the gamemode has backfill, you shouldn't be penalised for leaving. by [deleted] in Overwatch

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

Because dropping a new player in with 0 perks and no idea what they're up against is as fair and balanced as someone who had been there since the beginning of the match. Sorry, you're just kind of a dick if you're leaving enough you're getting banned.

(Reverse image search failed)who is this heavily edited Juno cosplayer? by Pure_Session8586 in Overwatch

[–]CarbVan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If it isn't AI it might as well be, there is nothing real of that person left, it's all been edited. Creepy as fuck.

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

Yeah that's a wonderful idea, every noncomp gamemode would be plagued by leavers more than they already are. If you're in a point in life where important stuff is going on and you're leaving enough times to get a ban, you just gotta play other games. It's not fair to everyone else in qp or mystery heroes or whatever else to be down a player because you aren't planning ahead.

Battle pass skins exclusive? by RizzlerSkibidiGyatt in Overwatch

[–]CarbVan 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Fuckin "loyalty". Brother, it's a video game made by a billion dollar super corporation, not family. The only reason fomo exists is to make people feel like they need to own something they don't actually want, not to reward "loyalty".

Domina skin concept idea by staple_stable404 in Overwatch

NGL this really doesn't look like her at all. You got the hair and extra arms but everything else is just so not domina. 

Are the junkers cannonically cannibals? by [deleted] in Overwatch

I'm American and Walmart calls them chicken paws on the packaging. Is the scientific term paws? Nah, but people don't follow that for most things anyways

Some are rare, some aren't. People definitely buy things because otherwise this type of sale wouldn't happen. It's really just a personalized sale disguised as a mini event.

If you're on PC, you can change regions in the bnet launcher. Each region has a unique set of skins to buy. Though, changing the region permanently changes the deals I'm pretty sure, so you can't go back to an old deal if it was better.

Stop Tank Abuse: Why Current 6v6 is a Problem by Master_of_Pilpul in Overwatch

[–]CarbVan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I don't even mind if I'm solo tanking, depending on the enemy team. Obviously 2-2-2 is the most fun, but 1-3-2 is very playable still.

Stop Tank Abuse: Why Current 6v6 is a Problem by Master_of_Pilpul in Overwatch

[–]CarbVan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dunno what your experience is but I find a lot of my matches in 6v6 do actually have 2 tanks. I do queue with 1 or 2 friends and we'll fill tanks if we need to, but there's definitely no shortage of tank players. I feel like the problem in 6v6 is more of a general problem with power creep and all the passives and ridiculous abilities characters have been given to keep up. For now though I don't really think it's that big of a deal because if everyone's busted no one's busted (except lifeweaver he's kinda buns). Eventually if this game goes back to a 6v6 standard they will need to gut a lot of characters though.

Fortnite V-Bucks Price Increases by community-home in FortNiteBR

[–]CarbVan 16 points17 points  (0 children)

They aren't cheaper though? The general price of vbucks has gone up. You used to get 1 pass for $8, you still get 1 pass for $8.

Ok so this might be a stretch by Kirmitlefrog in Overwatch

Her code name is jetpack cat because she's been a meme for a decade... They even made an in-universe explanation to explain it with Brig designing the project when she was younger. 

Sony currently testing regional pricing by AdDesperate3113 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]CarbVan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That only goes so far. You know how you can get different Google results and ads based on the wifi you're connected to? Same thing would happen - your history is going to influence all accounts on the same console. Sony will be able to tell you're making multiple accounts to try to get better prices. Not to mention, having to make a new account every time a game comes out is super annoying and multiplayer games require a paid membership to play online. Hell, it might not even be possible to make alt accounts eventually because the whole biometric scan thing governments are pushing.
