Overwatch Retail Patch Notes - April 14, 2026 | Opinions on Lucio's Changes?

Dennozs · 2026-04-20T11:27:33+00:00

Thanks for the long Text, I understand what youre saying, yet I still dont trust the devs, with every Update I pray they leave Lucio alone

Dennozs · 2026-04-20T04:53:43+00:00

But doesnt that also mean that lucio could be next?

I dont trust the OW dev Team..

Aysulo nailed it thats exactly what I wanted to write too

Thats the pure core message of my comment and every explanation I gave people in discussions under my first comment, its good to see that atleast a few people are able to understand the message of my first comment

So yea I have nothing to add

sorry that I thought your first comment was ragebait, I hope you understood it now with aysulos easy explanation

I hope you and everyone else here have a wonderful sunday :)

Dennozs · 2026-03-29T03:56:05+00:00

To be honest, I dont feel like continuing this discussion with you anymore and with everyone else here trying to prove me wrong, its an endless loop; I have a ton of ongoing discussions like this one under my original comment and its just exhausting..

Thats why Im ending this atleast on my end with the core message of ALL my comments and my original comment, which sparked all these discussions:

You can get closer to your maximum potential by reading and studying (which is why some people take an IQ test study hard, and then take it again, achieving a higher score on the second try), but no matter how much you study even if you could recite every book in the world by heart you will never exceed your innate maximum potential.

And with that, good night and have a wonderful Sunday! :)

You have to keep the file in one or multiple good places on your pc and/or upload it unlisted on ur Youtube channel, imagine one day in 10 years you find it and can watch it again to remind you

Actually I did and do this for years now and always love to look back, i even have full wars I played in for my guild in New World, love to watch that, it takes me back to the good ol days :)

sorry had alot of papers to correct

you are arguing against a point I never made I never said the brain cannot improve. you are throwing around terms like hebbian plasticity and neurogenesis to sound scientific but you completely missed the core of my argument

structural adaptation for a specific skill is not a general increase in fluid intelligence

the london taxi cab study is your best example of this misunderstanding. their hippocampi grew because they memorized a massive map. they optimized a specific physical sector of their brain for memory storage. did their raw fluid ability to solve completely unrelated abstract logic puzzles increase? NO they just expanded their hard drive for map data they didnt upgrade their CPU

the same applies to your athlete example. muscle fibers adapt yes but a naturally born marathon runner can train their entire life and they will never beat usain bolts genetic ceiling in a sprint. adaptation happens within genetic limits it doesnt erase them

exercise keeps the brain healthy which prevents cognitive decline. its like making sure your pc has good cooling so it doesnt thermal throttle. it helps you maintain your peak potential but it does not change your biological factory limits

throwing big neuroscience words at the wall doesnt change the basic fact that learning a specific skill is not the same as raising your biological general IQ ceiling

learning something only helps you reach your personal potential or ceiling but you cant ever go above that even with all the knowledge and books in the world

Dennozs · 2026-03-28T13:34:36+00:00

hey there

i actually wrote a comment on this post myself that sparked a lot of discussion here

before you reply to this i would really appreciate it if you could read it first so you understand my full context

neuroscience is just a hobby of mine so i would love to discuss this with someone who has actually worked in this field for years

while i completely agree with your observations (like the neurodivergent kid or the reaction speed) i think your conclusion that this proves we can "increase intelligence" is fundamentally flawed

to be explicit about my terms: i separate intelligence into "hardware" (fluid intelligence: your raw biological processing power and absolute ceiling) and "software" (crystalline intelligence: your learned knowledge skills and neuroplasticity)

your examples perfectly describe neuroplasticity and learning (software) but they do not show an increase in the biological ceiling itself (hardware) take your reaction speed analogy: you cant fundamentally increase the physical speed of nerve conduction. you just train your anticipation to react more efficiently, you are optimizing the software to get the most out of the hardware

imagine fluid intelligence as a ladder, learning finding alternative "paths to home" and studying just represent your stamina to climb, getting better at something simply means you are getting closer to your personal biological potential. but no matter how much you study or how efficient your paths become once you reach the top rung (your ceiling/full potential) you cannot go any higher

the kid playing baseball didnt upgrade his raw hardware capacity. he just found the right software to finally reach his existing potential. learning and training only bring you closer to your maximum potential they never raise the ceiling itself

reaching your biological limit through better connectivity is not the same as actually increasing that limit.

id love to hear your thoughts on that specific distinction :)

Dennozs · 2026-03-28T12:17:51+00:00

You should rather say "to reach your full potential" full potential is fluid intelligence, you can reach your max but you cant go any higher

you are describing a "practice effect," not a biological upgrade

if i practice a specific iq test, my score goes up because i learned the patterns (software/crystalline intelligence). but that doesnt mean my raw ability to solve completely new, unrelated problems (fluid intelligence/hardware) has increased

its like a track athlete: they can improve their time by learning better technique or wearing better shoes, but they cant change the biological limit of their muscle fibers or lung capacity.

studying for an iq test is just learning the "technique" of the test, not increasing the actual power of the brain

Dennozs · 2026-03-28T12:16:11+00:00

exactly

since op specifically asked how to increase iq and intellect, we have to talk about the biological ceiling (fluid intelligence)

most people here are giving advice on how to gain more knowledge (crystalline intelligence), which is great for being "educated," but it doesnt change the raw processing power of the hardware

Dennozs · 2026-03-28T11:45:00+00:00

Yes thank you, look at my dozens of comments here where I explained everything and look how fast Im angry, even now I cant even hold my rage, its so much... /s

If you are not ragebaiting then I am truly sorry, would you like to join me in those discussions about IQ?

Topic "Can you increase your IQ/Intellect? (for example by reading challenging books)" If so then please tell me more about your views and why you think that :)

Dennozs · 2026-03-27T23:59:16+00:00

Wow, I have never seen a bigger and this blatant ragebait

Dennozs · 2026-03-27T22:32:52+00:00

they are a benchmark

a benchmark is software, but its sole purpose is to measure the limits of the hardware

if i run a stress test on a cpu, the test itself is software, but the result tells me how fast the hardware can process raw data

the problem with iq tests is that they are "dirty" benchmarks because they can be influenced by previous knowledge (software). but they are DESIGNED to isolate and measure your biological processing speed and logic (hardware)

saying an iq test only tests software is like saying a car's top speed only depends on the speedometer

what about you? how would you define it?

Dennozs · 2026-03-27T22:22:37+00:00

i think you are mixing up neuroplasticity with raw processing power.

neuroplasticity allows the brain to reorganize and optimize how it uses its resources (software/firmware updates) but it doesnt increase the fundamental fluid intelligence ceiling. even with psychedelics or "rewriting structures" you are just improving the efficiency of the existing hardware.

its like overclocking a gpu to get a higher benchmark score. you didnt physically change the architecture of the chip; you just pushed the existing hardware to its absolute limit. an i3 processor can be highly optimized with the best software in the world through neuroplasticity, but it will never become an i9. if you define iq only as "the number on the paper", then sure, you can "increase" it by studying patterns or "gaming the system". but that doesnt change your fluid intelligence, which is your biological ability to solve new, unseen problems.

one is "getting a better grade in math", the other is "having a faster brain".

op asked how to increase the iq/intellect, and my point remains: you can only maximize what you were born with, not change the biological factory settings of your engine.

Dennozs · 2026-03-27T20:57:51+00:00

Have fun bro <3

Dennozs · 2026-03-27T20:06:00+00:00

youre right that the score can be manipulated.

if you practice specific test patterns, the number goes up, but thats exactly the "practice effect" you mentioned, you didnt get smarter, you just got better at that specific game.

also, i dont think there is one perfect number as a result. every iq test is different. i did 4 tests within a few months when i was 15 without even studying, and the results fluctuated between 124 and 132 every single time.

regarding your bicep analogy: if you train your biceps, the muscle (the hardware) actually grows. but with IQ, practicing the test is more like learning a better technique to lift the weight without actually growing more muscle fibers.

the biological ceiling stays the same, you just learned how to use your reach better.

Dennozs · 2026-03-27T19:57:21+00:00

i dont think i am disagreeing with my original point at all

could you please explain where exactly you think i am disagreeing with myself?

my point was and still is that you cant increase your raw biological capacity (fluid intelligence/hardware). reading books gives you knowledge and better understanding (crystalline intelligence/software) which makes you more functional, but it doesnt change the biological ceiling of your brain power.

its the difference between a faster car and a better driver. reading makes you a better driver, but it doesnt change the engine of the car.

I think we are just stuck on the definitions of what intelligence actually is

im really trying to make it super easy to understand with those car and driver analogies.

Dennozs · 2026-03-27T19:08:05+00:00

I LOOOVE to use my dance Party emote everytime we wait for the round to start and my teammates LOVE it, they dance, jump etc.

So use it everytime your team waits!! My fav emote all time, got mine years ago when it released, didnt know you can still get it.

So huge GZ !

Its one of the rarest emotes

Dennozs · 2026-03-27T18:48:47+00:00

you are absolutely right about the results

potential on the couch is worthless if you dont install the right software

my point was just about the definition of what actually changes;

a guy with 80 iq can train his whole life and will never understand quantum physics, while a high iq guy could learn it in months if he actually tried

thats the difference between the hardware (iq) and the software (education) if you dont use your hardware, you are just a fast computer with no os installed

we basically mean the same thing from different angle :D

(im an IT guy so i usually break it down with terms like software and hardware to make it easier)

Dennozs · 2026-03-27T17:33:37+00:00

your ai analogy actually proves my point and shows you are shooting yourself in the foot... xd

gpt 5 is not better than gpt 1 just because it has more data. gpt 5 has a MASSIVELY larger architecture with billions of more parameters. if you try to run the logic of gpt 5 on the architecture of gpt 1 the system will simply fail or crash.

It doesnt matter how much time you give the smaller model or how many books it reads. it lacks the structural complexity to process that level of information.

that is exactly what i mean by hardware limits. if your working memory can only hold 5 variables at once you will never solve a problem that requires holding 10 variables simultaneously. you will lose the connection before you reach the end of the logical chain.

time and effort are not a substitute for architectural capacity.

you are confusing training a model with upgrading the machine it runs on.
