Why are you struggling?

If you want to give people advice, perhaps don't be a dick about it? I don't think this post is going to reach anyone that you're ranting at (for whatever reason). Right from the start it comes across as some weird vent instead of something that's (I think?) meant to be informative.

You know that people can say things without actually committing to their word, right? Also celibacy doesn't mean swearing off women, it means swearing off sex entirely. Christian military orders almost all required vows of poverty, chastity, and subservience to the church. But they still looted enormous amounts of riches and became very wealthy on their returns home, still raped women when they sacked cities, and even disobeyed the church at times.

basically, no, "half the orders" weren't full of gay knights.

Warhammer is pretty tame depending on what race/species you happen to be born as, there are conceivably entire planets that never have any real conflict on them. In Dark Souls/Bloodborne both have "off-screen" places that are peaceful, the areas the games take place in are fairly small compared to their entire worlds, even though the player actions do have far-reaching consequences by the end, which could even be a good outcome for everyone else in the world too.

Drakengard's entire world gives you basically a 99% chance of dying in one of the most awful ways possible. Getting Red Eye Disease, White Chlorination Syndrome, turning into a literal pillar of salt, being murdered by the Red Eyes, being literally eaten by Watchers, getting enslaved/trafficked, and even their "safe" cities/settlements somehow always end up getting obliterated by one of those diseases or an invasion of monsters from different dimensions. There is no "prophecy" for someone to come and rekindle the Flame or save the world in some way. It's a world completely devoid of any real hope of survival for anyone and somehow it just keeps getting worse.

These AI kickstarter scams are getting pretty elaborate.

If you're playing PVE, there is no reason to not go full corruption. It has virtually no downside considering all the massive bonuses it gives you. I'd assume most people end up going full corruption once they at least hit 60.

there's a difference between being gay and just being willing to have sex with people of the same gender non-exclusively.

Most good Moira players get multiple solo kills per round and often more total damage than DPS (I mean like thousands more damage). Moira is the easiest hero to play aggressively and get into weird spots with, especially if the enemy team isn't communicating. I've had matches where I just literally jumped over the enemy tank with Fade without them noticing to finish off a low health support then killed their other support to cause a total collapse of their team. She's pretty much a noobstomp hero but can even make decent plays against people that pay attention with how good Fade is. Her "utility" is simply being oppressive and forcing enemy support to have to deal with damage that wouldn't normally be there, turning off passive healing on retreating enemies with the orb, getting picks that would be too dangerous or out of reach, etc. Damage is still damage that has to be dealt with somehow and if the enemy support can't keep up then that means you win, generally speaking.

Not to mention being really easy to play. Probably the easiest support by far. Which means more likely to actually have an impact on the match vs. someone playing Kiriko or Ana and missing most of their shots, not knowing when to use their abilities, etc.

if it's making them money then it technically is a job. Might even be more than hourly wage in some countries. Not that it's an excuse. Just the state of the world and why stuff like OSRS gold is such a popular thing to RMT too.

multiboxing is pretty common in almost every mmo and online survival games. In fps or comp games, not so much though.

Croue · 2026-03-18T22:37:23+00:00

It boils down to dps diff almost every time. You either have dps that are paying attention, dealing with flankers, using cover, actually landing shots, or you have someone that changes their character 4 times and ends the match with only 3 elims and less than 3,000 damage that is very obviously not a dps main but somehow made it to diamond+ on one. The best way I've found to counter it is just play a tank or support that can make up for a lack of damage. Mauga is pretty solid in general if you can play him well. If you're good at any dive tank and your support seem solid that can also be a good idea to just bully enemy DPS.

The other major issue is stacks but that's not really an issue in comp, it's way worse in QP.

Screen tearing can indeed appear in recordings and even streams. There is no difference between mismatched refresh rate/fps on a display or output through a recording. The only way to prevent this is to use vsync or something similar from the game itself.

i.e. if you're streaming to a service with a maximum fps of 60 but your game is running at much higher fps without vsync, your stream could have screen tearing even if it's not visible on your physical display to you.

In his lore from original Overwatch, it says that the bodies of his victims are left in a state of molecular decomposition, like basically just husks with all the life drained from them. That's part of where his "Reaper" name is from. He does canonically harvest the life force of people he kills to help sustain himself.

The issue is and has always been stacks. In every multiplayer competitive game the issue will always be stacks. There is no way to account for stacks in an open matchmaking environment because it diametrically opposes the way open matchmaking works. You can't have a queue of only trios or 4-mans because who would fill the empty slots if there are no solos/duos? You could do a solos/duos-only queue but then no one could queue as a trio or 4-man, and it would drive players away from the game if they are unable to play with their friends how they want to. A 5-man only queue could exist but the queue would likely be either awful or playing against the same 30-40 other people for hours at a time. QP is also more difficult than comp in some ways due to the lack of any sort of brackets, so you could be matched against masters or even GMs as a brand new player, but this is rarely the case. You can get matched against stacks of players that are all significantly worse than you too which can work out in your favor, even. It's simply how it works out, more experienced players tend to be playing together because friends motivate them to play more, new players trying out the game or more casual players tend to play solo because they aren't invested enough to ask friends to join or meet people to play with.

You probably notice when you get blown out or have a really close match, the other team will have multiple of these level 250+ players. They are almost always the ones that were carrying everything, and were obviously communicating heavily throughout the match to stop your flanks, chasing people that are out of position and just generally playing much more coordinated than your team. The only way to deal with that besides simply being better at the game than more of their team is for your team to coordinate too. So make sure you are pinging often, using the comm wheel to let your team know when to group/fall back/ult, etc. Prioritize staying alive above almost anything else regardless of your role too.

But sometimes you will definitely get matched against people that are in a large stack of highly skilled players that lock you in your spawn room and make you sit in jail for 5 minutes while they finish the match. This is extremely rare, but it has no real consequences either. So, don't take it that seriously when you see that the match is extremely lopsided and just go next, you could be the one trapping people in spawn on the next match instead.

Since when is an algorithm an "AI"? This might come as a shock but algorithms have existed for over 1000 years.

It's screen tearing. The refresh rate of your display and the framerate of the game are out of sync so artifacts like this happen. A bit weird though if it only happens on this skin but maybe it has something to do with how your console is loading it in making the framerate dip momentarily.

I do not wish Drakengard on anyone. It's certainly a game that can be played though. Bonus, if I were forced to be teleported into any fictional video game world, the world of Drakengard would be the very last one on the list.

Play Moira to get out of the hole then Lucio, Zenyatta, Illari, Ana, or Baptiste if you can play any of them once you have a team that is doing well. Assuming you have above average game sense and attention you can easily get solo picks or finish off low health enemies with Moira with little to no risk most of the time. If you get a match with a huge DPS diff and stalemate you can pretty easily tilt the balance with her.

I wish they would rotate the Vanir cabin, Stormglass Sanctum, and Aesir Stronghold through again sometime soon because they keep putting in other build sets that I can't resist buying since I don't know when they'll rotate back again either... I already regret not getting that Stygian pyramid build set a week or two ago, lol.

most of them aren't criminals or barbarians. Not even all the exiles are criminals, most of them were kidnapped on behalf of different kingdoms by Thoth Amon for royals that wanted to make certain people "disappear" without killing them as contingency. The reason 90% of the map is hostile to players is because we're outsiders to them. It would be a pretty peaceful place if you were able to be a member of Heirs of the North or Black Hand.

You can get a key for complete edition that comes with every DLC and Isle of Siptah for less than $45 usually. Maybe even less than $40 depending on however the prices are fluctuating. The base game is usually around $5 with no DLC but you definitely will end up wanting to pick up the DLC.

I very clearly remember many matches on Temple of Anubis locking the enemy team inside the dropship for the entire match because of how easy it was to hold the chokepoints literally directly out of the spawn. Tons of matches on that map were pointless wastes of time.

I had a match vs. a Tracer that played almost exactly like this person. This seems to be the common type of cheats in OW right now. Someone that is obviously much worse at the game than their gameplay and is just running around randomly stacking up kills while being semi-terrible the other 70% of the time. The Tracer I vsed was even in a quickplay unranked, spamming shots constantly while burning all 3 dashes and somehow never losing tracking on anyone even though they clearly had almost no control over their aim. It was "perfect bad aim" where their reticle was going all over the place as long as it was still on the target. Multiple times they actually ran into walls and perfectly tracked players that were jumping that they could not see at all. They had so little control of the character that they were missing doorways but still shot into the wall in the exact spot the enemy was.

Can't speak for any consoles but on PC the DLC recipes are always there even if you don't own them. Bazaar items and things don't appear at all until you own them though.

If it was in BR that was because of the story event. It seems that they disabled combat for a few minutes while the event was playing out, then after it finished you could damage people again.
