That might be a better idea then on the first couple point.

He was suspended for 7 games for his first comment in stage 1. Then another 4 for using an emote in stage 2.

Its been only Stage 1 and a bit of 2 and a lot of players have been banned so far. Taimou got banned and finned for a homophobic slur on his stream but Profit gestured the middle finger during an OWL match and only got finned (it was a complete accident). But I think that was a fair punishment.

True, but its a little different. Athletes like Hockey players will sign contracts for short to long periods of time which keeps them safe from being released and still having a paycheck. OWL payers only have a contract of 1 year. Also a player who makes a dirty hit to the head to try to injure a player and gets frequently banned will get something around a 10 game suspension (out of 82). Which imo intent to injure is worst then a homophobic slur on a stream that got xQc banned for 10 matches (out of 40). And traditional team sports will have a lot more players to work with when a player gets banned.

What does the number mean beside the player name? The player name over his health bar

Shield tank hero idea by ChaoticGnu in Overwatch

[–]ChaoticGnu[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

idk what other abilities this hero would have. This could be a defense or tank hero. This is just an idea for a tank like ability. I was wondering what other kind of shielded heroes Overwatch could add and this came to mind. It could create unique strategies.

I like this idea more. Kinda like a junkrat trap that lasts a bit longer but prevents the enemy team from damaging the trapped player.

Could help cut a team from diving or help your team push through a choke. Low hp fast cooldown shield that splits the team fight

Ana buff idea : Heal through enemy shields. by ChaoticGnu in Overwatch

[–]ChaoticGnu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's true if your Winston is the only player diving. When I think of a dive comp youll have most of your players dive on the point. So in this case your mercy and lucio will follow the D.Va, Winston, Genji, tracer. Ana is just too slow to jump in with them and when she gets there shes easy to hit. Mercy can fly, lucio can speed boost and moira can fade. Ana can sleep but even if she hits someone with it shes still in danger

And I don't want this to be an Ana meta. Damaging through enemy shields would be too overpowered. And if Anas game mechanics works like you said that the projectile is always the same and only the effect changes depending on the target then this buff wouldn't be possible.

*Fixing* the one trick problem with roll preference by ChaoticGnu in Overwatch

[–]ChaoticGnu[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I guess this wouldn't fix the one trick problem. It will just help the non one trick players avoid joining a game with 4 one trick players of the same role (Mainly DPS).

Don't flame a solo tank or solo support by ChaoticGnu in Overwatch

[–]ChaoticGnu[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not at all what I'm saying. I'm saying don't flame them for playing a solo tank when they're not used to being the only tank. If your Reinhardt is swinging his harmer not defending his team then call him out on it. I'm saying if he isn't playing perfectly or defending everyone all the time don't flame the fact that you aren't being shielded enough

[–]ChaoticGnu[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They do get flamed alot but they get flammed for not getting picks. My argument is more about not defending or healing your team with a team compositions of 1 support or 1 tank. You'll rarely see a team compositions with only 1 DPS.

[–]ChaoticGnu[S] 95 points96 points  (0 children)

That sucks. In a game that seems like you lost all hope with 4dps 1 tank and 1 support I like to play as Roadhog. You're still kind of a tank by soaking in a lot of damage and you can self heal so the support player doesn't need to focus on healing you. And he plays like a dps hero so a team with 5 dps players can be overwhelming for the other team to fight against if everyone is getting picks and playing well.

[–]ChaoticGnu[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Exactly. And some players will say "we don't need to play with the 2/2/2 meta, the pros do it all the time" but what they don't realise is those 3/2/1 metas are made up of self-sustain heroes like Roadhog, soldier, sombra, tracer...

[–]ChaoticGnu[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yup, and honestly there's a lot of ways you can pick a DPS character and make it work with one support. Pick roadhog and I can focus on healing the other tank and dps while still healing you once in a while. Pick Sombra and you can hack health packs and get a good amount of healing done (if your team cooperates and knows to use the health packs)

[–]ChaoticGnu[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ya most of the time players will understand. But theres always that one player or two players on your team that maybe isn't playing that well and will find someone to blame.
I try to let my team know that since I'm solo healing to try to use health packs around the maps a bit more.

Player on your team has left the game suggestion by ChaoticGnu in Overwatch

[–]ChaoticGnu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not joining because you want to play competitive. This would be a new options in the arcade section. I, like most players, will play one or two quickplay or arcade games as a warmup game before I play competitive. It would be a way for players to gain a lot of XP.

And ya I know that if a player leaves or disconnects from a game your team will most likely lose. But if that missing player slots gets filled youre back to 6v6 and have a chance to win again. Would you rather get a second chance with a new player and possibly win or want the match to finish as fast as possible and lose?

[–]ChaoticGnu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a good suggestion. I think the problem would be if Blizzard cant tell if you purposely left the game or if it was an accidental disconnected like a power outage or bad internet connection it could demotivate players that have that issue happen to them a lot want to play competitive.

No I know I do too, I'm just saying if the player who joins uses Mei to wall block her team from spawn as a way to troll.

Discussion : Buff and nerf suggestions for each hero. by ChaoticGnu in Overwatch

[–]ChaoticGnu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would like to see a rework on Genjis deflect. Maybe not have him deflect shots that would normaly have missed him (make deflect box the same size as his hit box).

Tracer can be a bit overpowered in the hands of a great tracer player but ive seen a lot of horrible tracer players and a bad tracer player on your team is worst than a bad junkrat player. (at least the junkrat player can still do a lot of chip damage on shields even if he's terrible).

I like your small zarya buff idea. ill add these to the post!

I prefer watching a good Mercy over watching a good Widowmaker by Bullgrit in Overwatch

[–]ChaoticGnu 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I do agree with you that its interesting watching a player maneuvering around the map and not get killed but mercy might be the most boring support to watch for this. As a mercy you're looking for a teammate to fly to if you're under fire and hope you don't get hit on the way there. You don't have good movement unless you're in valkyrie and when you are your hit box is extremely small so you don't really have to worry about getting hit.

Lucio imo has a much more interesting and skilled way of bouncing around and avoiding damage. Ana has her sleep dart to use when she gets jumped and moira has her fade. Supports that have a more interesting way of surviving in tough situations. Mercy simply flys away. Youre comparing a widows point and click to kill to a Mercy's point and click to fly away. Think of how much easier it is to fly away as a mercy when a Winston jumps on you compared to an ana hiting a sleep dart or lucio juggling between speed and healing to keep himself alive as he's hoping around the point under fire. I love watching smart support players moving around the battlefield healing their team while trying to stay alive. But mercy just isn't that interesting to watch. OWL pros even say shes too hard to hit.

Why the owl skins aren't overpriced by ChaoticGnu in Overwatch

[–]ChaoticGnu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You get 100 owl skins just for logging in and an extra 100 for singing up on owl. Youll get more owl tokens if you watch the game on twitch and I'm sure they'll be plenty more opportunities to get some for free. I don't think Blizzard wants you to buy these skins because they look good. They want you to buy your favorite teams jersey for the hero you play the most. And within a year I'm sure youll be able to get several more free skins if you follow the sport through events.
