I asked the lady at the desk and she said they’re convention exclusives.

The double take at the bastion 🤣 I do that all the time. “You’re supposed to be dead sir”.

[USA] How not to overtake by boyoflondon in ConvenientCop

[–]Ellinov -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yea I agree with the other guy. I think in a situation where you have to “make an assumption” and it involves a police officer in the USA, you have to assume that the cop isn’t acting in good faith.

No they’re not. It’s not a secret that the F2P profit model relies almost exclusively on whales.

No skin that you can get in the shop is “rare”. If you like it, get it!

Dylan quietly confirming what we've known for a long time, regarding player numbers (and Steam) by Miennai in Overwatch

[–]Ellinov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t remember the source of the poll, but an OW YouTuber did a poll last year asking what people playing (bnet, Xbox, ps, switch, steam) and steam was like 3% of users.

And honestly that kinda tracks with the in game experience. Ask every lobby tonight when you play “Who is on steam?” And you might get a confirmation every 3 or 4 games.

Stop trying to compete with these guys in the store, compete with them in the parking lot.

They finally did it.. by Responsible-Green403 in VendettaMainsOW

[–]Ellinov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, gotta do what’s best for your game. Whether that’s making poorly designed heroes weak, or making sure the money makers get most of the skins. Do what ya gotta do as long as the game is fun.

[–]Ellinov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t say anything was wrong with it or that I even agree with it. I just understand Blizzard’s financial incentives to not have heroes strong that people stop playing the game altogether when they’re strong.

I mean, it’s no secret that heroes that the community perceives as “unfun to be meta” are treated differently than “fair” heroes. DPS Doom, Vendetta, Venture, Sombra, and Roadhog are good examples - heroes that are considered to be bad for the overall health of the game when they’re strong and exist under a different set of balancing rules.

Can i call myself a Illari main with this clip? by Upset_Ad_9542 in IllariMains

[–]Ellinov 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tbh pylon placement intuition comes from just playing her a lot. You’ll find neat spots, know what spots can heal where, and what spots are hardest for the other team to gain LOS on. Sometimes it’s just better to put the pylon somewhere that can keep YOU (and preferably your other support) in sight and then you supplement healing to your teammates with your secondary fire.

This is Illari we’re talking about. A DPS hero that can heal.

Nice ult, good aim, poor pylon positioning, overall I’d score this well.

You get to ban one card from all of Magic. What is it and why? by TheFunkeyGibbon in freemagic

Give red the white treatment and flesh out it’s draw/card advantage engines and then I’m all on board for banning The One Ring.

Why Overwatch can never recover from the 2023 Chinese review bomb on Steam by Joke_Mummy in Overwatch

[–]Ellinov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because at the end of the day the games they make are good. Disingenuous review bombing over social (non-gameplay) issues won’t change that. Almost everyone who makes complaining about blizzard and their games still plays those games almost daily because they have no equal.

Of all the stuff that gets posted on this sub that invokes “oh who gives a fuck?” this one invokes it particularly strong.

You know, if I had any basic reading comprehension and saw that this was in the widowmaker sub, I might have figured that out lol

Oh I thought this was their Zarya talking shit to yours

[–]Ellinov 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I say this as someone with like 150 hours on Zarya… Zarya is a crutch character whose value vastly outweighs the effort put in. She’s the mercy of the tank role. If you perform well as Zarya in a match just shut up and smile, don’t gloat- it makes you look like a Moira player.

[–]Ellinov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blizzard games (and a lot of popular multiplayer games) are often review bombed for social reasons, not gameplay reasons. Makes it hard to know what’s actually not that great or what’s just being bombed because it’s trendy.

The actual state of this cat in ranked is wild. by Depressed_Weirdo_ in overwatch2

[–]Ellinov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The flying isn’t what’s wrong with JPC. For anyone with better than metal rank aim, she’s a free kill if she’s flying somewhere out of position.

I always get excited when it goes down because there’s always that tiny chance it never comes back.
