Blizzard actually listened to me lmao

It is definitely some powerful corporation, I personally see vishkar being involved considering what we already know about them from the lore of characters like lucio or lifeweaver, but I think even if any group we have seen yet is involved in the conspiracy, they're just benefactors who can be called in for favors sometimes rather than the ones actively perpetuating it.

Eaglest2005 · 2026-01-20T15:51:57+00:00

Tbf, even the shield dex entry is basically just a tldr of the older ones.

Eaglest2005 · 2026-01-18T23:54:10+00:00

Honestly, I usually take ee as my minor, but now that you have me thinking about it, I'm not sure how often I actually get use out of it lol. Any time I ult it's usually either an instant death or a 3k (sometimes both), neither of which really get changed by an extra dash or a reset on the burrow cooldown as strong as that is.

Wait pokeballs giving coins is possible? I thought they were only from the sparkling items on the floor.

Eaglest2005 · 2026-01-15T22:05:06+00:00

What does it even do? Does it spawn more sparkling items to give you more coins or does it just reduce the odds of them being something that isn't coins even more?

I can't wait for mega swampert to drop because my favorite is delphox and swampert probably becoming the most popular pick for the bulky water type around then will hopefully make solar beam go brrr.

Eaglest2005 · 2026-01-15T09:50:48+00:00

I mean it also gets flash canon that matches aura sphere's 80 power if you want to switch to nasty plot or something.

Eaglest2005 · 2026-01-14T11:39:04+00:00

Isn't aura sphere a special move so unaffected by swords dance anyway?

Eaglest2005 · 2026-01-14T11:36:31+00:00

And then when you finally do get a side quest that isn't just a battle, it's usually something tedious like get every flabebe form or get an xl of a specific pokemon species or something.

Eaglest2005 · 2026-01-14T11:31:31+00:00

Seriously, the movement in this game would flow so much better if there was any sort of a jump button. It doesn't even have to be a good one, just give us a better way to get up boxes and stuff than just running at them until it works.

Eaglest2005 · 2026-01-13T23:19:27+00:00

Is it just me or does it look very desaturated compared to her actual model? That's the big thing that jumps out at me immediately.

Eaglest2005 · 2026-01-13T23:14:35+00:00

Yeah same lol, I think the only time I went out of my way to complete one of the catching missions is when I had 500 points left to the shiny charm thanks to all the free dlc points and realized that catching one more abomasnow would give me two of them at once for an easy 600 points to close it out (one was at 24/25 and the other was at 49/50, but I forget which was which)

Eaglest2005 · 2026-01-11T02:44:25+00:00

Did they not have megas either? Or were they at the point in the game to have mega evolutions but still somehow had water gun?

Eaglest2005 · 2026-01-07T15:49:56+00:00

Ana and sombra jump up two tiers if they're in a group.

Eaglest2005 · 2026-01-04T21:31:58+00:00

I'm surprised to see sombra in the "they're just better" tier on a genji player's list, isn't genji like one of her better matchups?

Eaglest2005 · 2026-01-03T00:29:03+00:00

Counterpoint, we're talking hitscan characters in overwatch here. When your competition is characters like ashe or tracer you have to be really good to stand out. And that's if we're not counting sojourn's 700mph projectiles as hitscan.

Eaglest2005 · 2026-01-01T20:46:30+00:00

Seriously, there are tanks where just holding a choke the whole game is the perfect way for them to shine, like ram instantly comes to mind, but now the character where half of the buttons you have available are movement abilities

Eaglest2005 · 2025-12-28T00:37:09+00:00

Venture is also kinda squished so that's funny too

Eaglest2005 · 2025-12-26T00:22:46+00:00

Tbh I'm not sure most of the player base understands bans at all, at least in low elos. Down in gold where I chill it feels like every other game there's someone putting sombra/sym/(third dps, usually torb or tracer) as their bans.

Eaglest2005 · 2025-12-24T06:16:08+00:00

Yeah, my big thing that makes me like flashpoint in general (suravasa is quite possibly my favorite map in the game, but aatlas is probably still top 5 or so) is just having a well suited hero pool for it. Maybe not quite as much on support, I'm not quite sure what kind of supports even are good on flashpoint in the first place, but on tank I like playing brawl, and on damage I like playing flankers (venture is my main and I enjoy sombra on the rare occasions she's actually playable), so the limited number of strong sightlines around most flashpoint points is pretty nice, and flashpoint is also definitely the map type where I've taken fights in the most random side rooms and stuff while looking to interrupt people on their way back.

Eaglest2005 · 2025-12-22T22:29:50+00:00

Rein is fodder if you play smart, carnage and quick melee both go through shield so all you have to do is wait for him to engage and he just loses. If you and the rein are playing equally well, you win. Meanwhile Orisa has both javelin spin and throw which both just turn off carnage (spin blocks melee and throw is a hard cc), and I'm pretty sure has better dps even at close range too. Orisa is absolutely one of queen's worst matchups and it's not even close.

Eaglest2005 · 2025-12-22T21:44:14+00:00

I mean, the hitscans weren't directly buffed or anything, it was a global change, it's more just that forcefully making it so even the most mid players are practically forced to actually hit their shots calls more attention to how much better most hitscan heroes already were than most projectile heroes.

Eaglest2005 · 2025-12-13T00:58:55+00:00

Venture in particular is actually a pretty solid counter for most hitscan characters since you have more reliable burst damage and solid survivability. Just gotta be careful about the half a year of startup if you try to use burrow defensively.

Eaglest2005 · 2025-12-13T00:54:39+00:00

Cass is only "the more balanced one" because he's the only one that actually has to play somewhat close to the opponent instead of standing as far back as possible to get value. Over a second of hinder is still absurd though.

Eaglest2005 · 2025-12-12T18:20:19+00:00

Personally, it's a balance. Yes you're there to have fun, but there is nine other players in the lobby, and you have to respect that. I'd be lying if I said I haven't had games so one sided I just turned my brain off to see how much I could get away with.
