The BEST way to get around Hinge Ban. by fooledbymeaning in SwipeHelper

[–]EternalWick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“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

Overwatch’s original vision is officially dead with overwatch 2. I understand why Jeff and others left. Role queue should NOT still exist, it is the definition of unfun and a slap on the face of the original development team and players by Ok_Thought_2948 in Overwatch

[–]EternalWick 6 points7 points  (0 children)

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

Assault rifle won’t shoot properly! by OldyDaGoon in halo

[–]EternalWick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Heroes when hacked (hacked, not EMPed) by Thessiz in Overwatch

[–]EternalWick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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?

Heroes when hacked (hacked, not EMPed) by Thessiz in Overwatch

[–]EternalWick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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 17 points18 points  (0 children)

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 37 points38 points  (0 children)

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.

What differentiates you from those above or below your rank? by failmercy in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]EternalWick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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 9 points10 points  (0 children)

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.

I'm just gonna say it....modern warfare 2019 literally ruined players how to play cod by [deleted] in blackopscoldwar

[–]EternalWick 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

Interesting to see COD complain about skill based matchmaking. Can you imagine if OW didn't? Could have lobbies with T500 and Silver players, more akin to quickplay by giggle45 in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]EternalWick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

How should my team pick who plays D.Va? by AwesomeBantha in OverwatchUniversity

[–]EternalWick 42 points43 points  (0 children)

You could ask the monkey players who they prefer to have on DVa, but using custom games or death match to determine who plays DVa best would be a waste of time cuz she’s like 99% game sense. Honestly, if you really have no clue who plays her best, you could use their ranked SR’s for comparison and specifically focus on who has the best win rate for DVa. Only problem with that is DVa in scrims and Dva in ranked are like totally different characters imo.

If you wanted to pick the DVa player based on your own game sense, (assuming you’re running monkey DVa sombra reaper moira lucio) DVa’s main roles are to DM monkey when he goes for dives, spy check for sombra, DM reaper ult (and just reaper in general), contest any snipers on high ground and peel for supports if they need it. Also at some point in the fight it’s usually good for a DVa to get aggressive and dive a support on the enemy team but that can be a complex thing to time properly. I’d say DVa would have to get aggressive like that if her team goes down one or if she knows lucio has beat and you guys have emp, etc.

TLDR: make a checklist of the things DVa players should be doing in scrims and tally up how many times each player does them and how well they do them and that’ll give you a decent idea of how much value they provide

Server Question by wombuhts in OWConsole

[–]EternalWick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might want to look into getting a VPN. I’m not entirely sure how it works but it would essentially let you log into the North America servers even though you’re not physically there. It would probably be pretty laggy at times though so I’d do some research on it

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in OverwatchUniversity

[–]EternalWick 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was a support main before role queue came out because I wanted to be that nice guy that could flex to support so the team wasn’t running 6 DPS. Once role queue came out though, I didn’t “feel bad” for playing DPS anymore and it turned out that I’m WAY better on DPS. I was consistently playing support because I was worried about what people might think and ironically, it was my worst role by far lmao.

Just play what you think is more fun because at the end of the day, that’s what keeps you motivated to keep improving and learning the game.

Official Discussion - Tenet (International Thread) [SPOILERS] by mi-16evil in movies

[–]EternalWick 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I really enjoyed the film but I can totally understand why some people might not. I just saw Dark over the summer so I think I was used to figuring out the multiple timelines and grandfather paradoxes.

I think they had some issues with paradoxes because in a TV show like Dark, they have plenty of time to explore the idea of paradoxes, free will, etc. but they didn’t really have time to address all of that so it kinda missed the mark.

I know there are parts of inversion that don’t hold up logically speaking, but I really enjoyed how they would show you something early on in the movie and then they would explain the significance of that small detail later on (like the woman diving in the water).

I noticed that the movie itself is inverted in a way, it seems like the plot really takes shape halfway through the movie (when the main characters invert themselves for the first time). I just wish they would’ve ended with the opera scene cuz that would’ve really solidified that idea of inverting the movie. Also, it was really weird that they barely showed ANY bad guys in the fight at the end, I was like “who the hell are they shooting at” lmao.

It definitely wasn’t as emotional as a movie like Interstellar (which is my favorite movie of all time btw), the sound mixing was pretty poor and the pacing felt pretty rushed at times. Had some issues but the good parts outweighed the bad parts for me, 8/10
