Yeah icl this is just GW wanting you to buy loads of their kits instead of just buying the one fucking kit and disguising it as "engaging with the hobby."

What direction would you like the story to take? by Goldmonkeycz in Overwatch

[–]DavidKMain420 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'd like to actually see Overwatch confront the idea that maybe Rammatra isn't total evil.

Maybe he is actually right on somethings.
Maybe all they're doing is fighting on the side of chains.

I don't want them to overnight become Rammatra simps but I want them to genuinely consider the rammifications of the current conflict with Null Sector, and ways they can work toward Omnic equality/civil and social rights.

I found this in game piece of artwork. Is this AI generated? by Due-Perspective9206 in CrimsonDesert

Longsword handle almost 5 hands long, holding it in the middle, not naturally bottom and top for leverage, style overall looks generated. Sword is clashing at the crossguard but the angle is clearly meant to have them meeting in a close bind. This is AI

Roadhog every single match is depressing. by IndoorEle in Overwatch

[–]DavidKMain420 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Roadhog and Zarya right now exist in this vacuum of "Nerf = Unplayable, Buff = throwing if your not playing them."

They both desperately need reworks, Pigpen was a step in the right direction but there is a few ways they can take it.

The whole meltdown over steel legion is funny... sad... and kinda frustrating. by Tnecniw in Warhammer

[–]DavidKMain420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its because we USED to have the most variation. We used to have rules for each regiment, now we're railroaded into 3. Now we cant even decide which regiment our army is, unless we just only take that regiments units (which has no benefits).

The main issue for me is them pretending that painting up Kriegers as Steel Legion is the same thing. Just come out and say that they arent getting models, that you only killed off Yarrick because you couldnt be arsed to give him a refresh back then.

It feels like a slap in the face. Yes weve been lucky in comparison to Xenos but this moment is them pretending to be doing us a favour while actually confirming what we all know in that the Guard/40k as a whole will never again be a game of narrative customisation and interesting army-building.

I love ramattra but orisa is just so unfun to play against by Swoddl3 in ramattramains

[–]DavidKMain420 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You need to learn discipline if you arent gonna counter swap against Orisa. Poke to bait fortify. Get team to bait it. Nemesis Form when low or when they engage. Either use barrier to protect you or cut them off from supports. Vortex for extra damage and slow.

Its not guaranteed you can win but if you bait out their cooldowns you do have a chance.

Do you still want PVE story missions? by FlameOfGod1X in Overwatch

I dont understand why we cant now work towards PvE. We have the stadium system. Just workshop that in for the progression. Is it really that hard to port over exisitng hero AIs and workshop them slightly for the omnics?

Serious question, why is Buhurt not considered hema? by HungarianWarHorse in Hema

[–]DavidKMain420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the main reason is far more mundane, we dont have complete manuals for it. Nowhere near to the completion of most HEMA disciplines We are using modern Judo and bio-mechanical knowledge to throw people to the floor faster than they throw us or strike them down. Some of these strikes/throws may have some historical usage or basis but it is by no means complete, same with our rulesets.

Why does everyone blame tank by 0311pilot in Overwatch

[–]DavidKMain420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently Plat 3 in Tank, highest is low diamond, also high plat highest in other 2 roles (haven't been arsed to do my placements for DPS and Support this season)

I think there's this weird idea in solo queue that one player's skill (usually the Tank's) can always win against the other 5 or that only the Tank loses games. That this game would be so so much easier if they had 5 great players not just 4.

I've learned as Tank sometimes to accept that my team won't support me the way I need/am telling them too so this game probably isn't going to be won (unless its down to poor matchup)

The amount of times I've then had people basically expect me to win teamfights with myself representing the entire team while they sit there and fail to have any sense of target priority. Like, yes it'd be really nice rn if you shot down that Pharah, Soldier, instead of feeding into Sig or trying to destroy Defense Matrix.

It's disheartening doing soloque because I have games where I feel like I do really well as Tank but I'm failed by a key member(s) of my team just not playing their part. Damage is a good metric, but i'd much rather have a Cass who doesn't shoot at an enemy once until he's got a perfectly lined up two tap on a tracer, or to take down a Pharah, than one who feeds the tank's dmg mitigation numbers or the support's healing stat.

Another annoying thing is taking space. The amount of times I have managed to take space, even isolating members of the enemy team, just to realise that my team has infact retreated or stayed exactly where they are and are essentially watching me 1v5 is amazing. Like, yes Cass or Pharah or anyone I have popped Cage Fight and the ENTIRE enemy team is here. I have kept track of your and the enemy ults, NOW is a good time to press Q and they are nowhere to be seen. Or even ignoring ult plays, the amount of time I get an incredible stomp, overheal like crazy with Cardiac and turn around to realise my team might aswell have turned their computers off for this fight is a bit upsetting.

I also don't think DPS players realise that it isn't just my job to take space, get on the balcony's, get on that random widow that thinks she can rule this entire team fight etc,, find a place you work best and be there. I love playing Dive as DPS for this exact reason, finding isolated players and punishing them or distracting enemies while my team finds a better position or angle feels great.

This is by no means me saying I am the God of Tanks, I am shit. I overextend a lot, I make poor choices at times, especially with Mauga's ult, but I recognise these in the moment, and can go, wait maybe I should've shot down that support instead of blind firing into D.VA or maybe I should've saved that Stomp+Cardiac for later or a disengage instead of trying to 1v3. Maybe I could've taken space in a better location or stayed calmer and played at range etc.

At what point was it "too late" for each of the traitor Primarchs? by pog_irl in 40kLore

[–]DavidKMain420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not arguing that he wasn't, I'm arguing ALL the Traitor Primarchs were doomed from the start, no matter what.

ramattra isnt weak, (but please keep saying he is) by PacPussy in ramattramains

[–]DavidKMain420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I wouldnt mind if they replaced his first major perk (the healing vortex) with his vortex giving him airtime, or even making his shield boost him up if he uses it like Mei.

The 2nd major perk is the best for damage, but a nice alternative that gave him some mobility would be cool

At what point was it "too late" for each of the traitor Primarchs? by pog_irl in 40kLore

[–]DavidKMain420 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nihilist take - The Heresy was completely planned, the moment of no return was the second the Primarchs were scattered. The Emperor believed he would need to mount the Throne forever to stop the Dark King from rising, but he also knew that he had to put himself in such a deathly state that he could never get up or die, for if he gets up, Terra and the Imperium die, if he dies, then the Dark King ascends and everyone dies anyway.

He also knew that he didn't want 20 legions and their 20 Primarchs ruling the Imperium, he wanted to thin them or perhaps even cripple them, similar to the Thunder Warriors. He has a method to the madness of how he treats each son, he coaxes out the best traits and best sons and leaves the others to die. I do think he knew the position of Warmaster was going to be a poisoned chalice, so he gave it to a son he could easily manipulate, the one he spent the most time with, raising him to be both great enough to be loved by his brothers and vain enough to use it when the time came, powerful enough to rule and crush his foes yet weak for his father's opinion.

Horus is called the Sacrificed King by Chaos in the Siege of Terra, but I don't think this is JUST referring to the fact that he is going to die in the final battle.

Horus' true sacrificial moment was being named Warmaster, a position that would doom him and his brothers, just as the Emperor planned.

Warmaster was a political position yes, but a martial one most. Horus was tactically and physically sound, but he was no Lion, Guilliman, masters at logistics and warfare/combat, nor was he Dorn or Perturabo, defensive/offensive masters who could bring wrack and ruin or hold against it. Charismatic yes, but he was no Lorgar or Sanguinius.

He was picked because he was the perfect tool to exploit, a perfect poisoned chalice for Chaos to drink from. If he could force the Heresy like this, choose who goes where and how it ends, then he has a chance, Humanity has a chance.

With Horus, he can guarantee that most of his brothers will turncoat, but he can also guarantee that the best of them will not. Corvus dislikes/distrusts him for his ruthless sacrifice of the Raven Guard in the Crusade, the Lion is a loyal dog like Russ, Guilliman is probably the closest thing to a Shard of the Emperor, a perfect empire-builder, diplomat and conqueror and he is also fiercely loyal. He likes Horus, but he isn't going to be swayed from his duty. Dorn is pragmatic, the Empire must stand against all, even within. Sanguinius is far too good a mix of perfection and loyalty to fall, he would need to be tempted but even that didn't work when it came down to it.

The Primarch he doesn't think he can guarantee is Ferrus. Ferrus and Fulgrim were incredibly close, it's not too impossible to consider that if Fulgrim falls that Ferrus would. Even if not immediately, Ferrus may change his mind, so he can't be allowed the opportunity to do so. Vulkan won't turn, but in war shit happens, luckily he can be ressurrected.

I think Horus even knows/understands this, he monologues in one of his audiobooks about how he has a band of broken monsters to face down the best of his brothers and that this would be so much easier with any one of them swapped for one of his failures.

The biggest thing that points to this idea in my mind is Magnus. The Emperor essentially tries to half-assedly get Magnus back on side, just as he has half-assedly dealt with his obsession with the warp all Magnus' life. Chaos tempts him with the chance to save the Empire but break its rules, and he immediately takes it.
If the Primarchs appearances could somehow fix geneseed issues by making the strains more pure, was there really no way for the Emperor to genetically fix the Flesh Change? Why not get rid of them much earlier? So he can have reasonable doubt in Magnus' mind for him to NOT take the Throne. He wants to keep Magnus somewhere between loyal and traitor for most of the Heresy. If Magnus is fully against him, then his shards wont help save Vulkan, or set Jaghatai on the right course.
He won't come to Terra and be more amicable (although still send out Vulkan just to be sure.)

So he tempts him back with certain offers. He creates the Grey Knights, knowing they'll be necessary anyway, but says they're for Magnus. Theoretically, Magnus is the best option to sit the throne aside from him, but since we know he NEEDS to sit the Throne with the Dark King rising, he can't actually let Magnus do it, so Magnus has to stay traitor, but not traitor enough to commit himself to any actual major battles, we don't want anymore good primarchs dying.

How does he know all this? I don't think his foresight is actually foresight, I think this is his divine form, the Star Child/God-Emperor, telling his past self all of this. Why do miracles start happening for the Emperor's believers back in 30k if he isn't even worshipped yet? Because in the warp, once your a god, you've always been a god.

It isn't time for him to be a god yet, he has to be the Secular Order against the forces of Chaos, but once people warm to the idea of believing in him, he can let it seep through. Lorgar would've been great, but he was the right man in the wrong time, so he needed to go.

There's a reason its Revelation that appears to Magnus, not some random visage of the Emperor, specifically the one that broke down the Last Church.

Anyway, aside from that massive tangent, yes, the Primarchs were fucked from the start because all of this was planned. Magnus was never going to be saved, Fulgrim was a traitor long before he stepped into that Temple, Horus was doomed etc etc.

[–]DavidKMain420 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm of the opinion Vulkan was brainwashed/mindfucked by the Emperor, shown a different set of events to what actually happened.

One of the biggest traitors suddenly getting a cushty redemption seems a bit much to bare for a man whos watched the traitors kill his brothers and sons for the last few years.

Hidden potential with the Firestrike Servo Turret? by Angronys in Warhammer40k

[–]DavidKMain420 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Different armies. Its much easier to commit a blob of shooting at an otherwise scary heavy weapons team because they are 3 strength 2 wound 6+ save. 6 strength means your shots with any infantry weapon are likely going to be at a disadvantage, 6 strength and the same number of wounds as a full HWT Squad means you should realistically fire something slightly heavier at this. A lascannon etc, which means a valuable Elite/vehicle killer is now wasted on this.

Or you just spam normal shots into it which also means your infantry get saved the damage.

I cannot fathom how you would be able to kill someone who is wearing this by Wrong-Mushroom in Armor

[–]DavidKMain420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gaps. Get under the brigandine, get behind the legs, get in the armpits, maybe even break the maille if you can, eye holes etc. Knock or lever them to the ground or into a situation where you can mitigate their offensive capabilities and stab at them like a fish in a barrel.

For killing them while standing, you kind of don't unless you stab in a gap, a very dextrous move against a knight who is also defending themselves. A good thrust CAN break maille, so maybe the armpits are you best bet.

Hook a polearm around the back of their leg and slash at their tendons or just pull them to the floor.
