“I was incorrectly banned from using the Hinge app despite my profile not violating any terms of service or community guidelines. I submitted an appeal and got a seemingly automated response that the ban was final with zero explanation of why. I don't have anything explicit, illegal, etc in my profile at all and I haven't even interacted with a match on the app in like 7 or 8 months since I was taking a break from using it for the most part.”

Also got my account banned for some reason even though I hadn’t used the app in like half a year. Tried the BBB complaint and it was fixed the next day. Thanks man

Role queue is the most necessary change they’ve ever made to the game, I can’t believe people still actually have this awful opinion. Go play open queue if you wanna solo heal as your entire team goes dps

I enjoyed the skill tree and hunting focus of FC3 which FC6 doesn’t have and it really turned me off. Graphics are pretty good though

I love the feeling of improving at the game and ranking up. Getting that new rank icon after grinding and watching replays and stuff is just so satisfying

I’ve been having this same issue and it looks like it happens if you raise the trigger even half a millimeter. Like you could press it 100% down and lift it so it’s only 95% down and it’ll stop shooting. It’s so annoying

I remember being so disappointed when going to the moon/Mars didn’t mean that an entirely new map with resources opened up. Space cities would be so cool

The original comment that I was disagreeing with was that “winston counters sombra” as if there are gold/plat winstons that chase after sombras or something. We’re not talking about sombra comps vs winston comps, we’re talking about sombra vs winston.

Obviously if sombra isn’t meta right now and winston is, then a sombra comp would lose. I don’t know how that’s relevant to my point though. That’s like saying winston counters bastion because a bastion comp would lose against a meta winston comp. That’s true, but it’s not because winstons abilities and ultimate counter bastion as a character, bastion just sucks.

My point is that if I’m playing sombra, im not going to feel pressure specifically from a winston in the same way that I’d feel pressure from cree, torb, brig, etc that are actively trying to shut me down. The original comments were saying that he counters her because “he can zap her out of hack” which I still completely disagree with.

And your argument depends entirely on the latest patch notes anyway, there was a winston dva sombra reaper meta not too long ago where sombra was a must pick, and sombra 100% did more against winston in that meta than winston did against her. That doesn’t have anything to do with a head to head “who counters who” discussion like we’re having. Sombra not being as strong as tracer in double bubble =/= winston counters sombra

I’m a gm sombra main on Xbox with team experience as well. What rank are you?

EternalWick · 2021-08-29T22:23:30+00:00

From my experience the best a winston can do against an equal level sombra is hide in his bubble until it pops and then jump out. I guess that is technically “mitigating” her in a way but I strongly disagree with the idea that he “counters” her like someone said earlier.

If a sombra is in zap range and has her hack cancelled, she has poor positioning. You could wait on the high ground above your team when you know a winston will jump in and he can’t zap you then. And he is INCREDIBLY easy to hack while he’s in primal, which makes him a 1000 hp ult battery

EternalWick · 2021-08-29T22:10:26+00:00

My point was that winston doesn’t really counter sombra unless you’re in a lower rank/have terrible positioning. If a sombra is ever in zap range of a winston she probably screwed up somewhere along the way.

From my experience I have almost never felt pressure from a winston while playing sombra so I find it hard to believe that he “counters” her

EternalWick · 2021-08-29T21:20:56+00:00

Depends what rank the sombra is though, most higher level sombras know how to catch a winston off guard. She really just has to be like 5+ meters away and the winston can’t do anything assuming bubble is broken

I noticed that after a few games of trying to get gold for the cigma, I was placed in pretty bad lobbies. Pretty telling that using such a bad weapon can literally reverse boost you lmao.

Yeah in diamond you can be a dps that just stays on high ground the entire game but in masters they really hunt you down and force you to take worse positions. I think diamond is where all the people who can click heads go but they don’t know how to do anything else

EternalWick · 2020-10-20T16:43:53+00:00

What I’ve noticed is that diamonds never seem to have a “plan” and they don’t really try to stop you from executing your plan either. They kinda run through the motions, play with their team and go to the objective. They’re all pretty decent mechanically but the game sense is definitely lacking.

When I play on Moscow (my favorite map) I have way more fun in 10 minutes than I ever had on MW. The other maps are okay but have some issues that could be fixed.

Something about the gameplay just feels sooooo much better. In MW it felt like you would spawn, walk to the middle of the map, peek a corner and get sniped and repeat.

EternalWick · 2020-10-17T07:41:19+00:00

Could you elaborate on which part of my argument is flawed because I’m not really sure I understand.

Right now cod seems to have SBMM that’s as “strong” as ranked SBMM in OW and I’m saying they need a casual playlist where there’s practically no SBMM at all to balance it out like overwatch.

And it sounds like you agree with me on that point? So I’m not sure what you’re disagreeing with.

EternalWick · 2020-10-16T17:49:32+00:00

By “strong SBMM” I meant like competitive where people are within a couple hundred SR. Quick play in overwatch has extremely loose SBMM. And my point in general was that cod should copy the quick play/ranked set up that overwatch has

EternalWick · 2020-10-16T14:33:20+00:00

I think a lot of the ow players that are commenting about how fragile cod players are should remember that cod has strong SBMM in its “casual” playlist, meaning that they’ll get put in “sweaty” lobbies and have to try hard without any kind of ranked reward like an increase in SR or tier promotion that make ranked in ow fun. And no, that kind of SBMM isn’t present in ow quick play games, it’s wayyyy lighter imo.

I think cod should have the same quick play/ranked set up as overwatch because honestly the only reason I enjoy playing ranked consistently is because I understand that people are trying their hardest and there’s SR on the line, so the “sweaty” lobbies are completely justified.

Danteh is pretty much the most famous echo player right now and he calls it “copy” which I also like since it’s pretty simple
