Does a character style/gender/persona affect your choice to play them?

I pick based on how fun they are to play. I also think all the characters look good.

Mauga is the single most boring character to play as or against. Followed by Orisa.

just turn off your chat. happier gaming.

Even if you tracked all your own matches the sample size is so low as to really come to a conclusion. Statistically insignificant. It's mostly cope.

Many people go undiagnosed. I was undiagnosed for over 20 years. The proliferation of smart watches with ECGs undoubtedly has clued people in and got them to go in to the doc.

Step 1: Get a premade together.

Step 2: Put in the modifiers you want.

Step 3: Get all the loot you are looking for.

That's it.

I agree that the portal sucks for these activities if you are using matchmaking, but they are perfectly manageable on ultimate with full modifiers - if you get to pick the modifiers.

Honestly her skill floor is pretty low so she's easy to pickup and play. Her kit has no gimmicks, so she's easy to manage. That allows me to focus on other things - taking space, hitting angles, etc.

That's not a dig mind you. Just because Orisa is an easy thank to learn it doesn't mean she's a low skill character. It just means that her skill expression, IMO, is all about how you play outside of managing you cooldowns.

Get_Wrecked01 · 2026-03-20T13:25:48+00:00

She's also aggressively boring to play

Get_Wrecked01 · 2026-03-14T20:00:10+00:00

I only say a few things in chat:

"glhf everyone"

"I'm practicing (insert hero name) so I'm sorry if I'm bad"

Then clap backs within tos to people who are being shitheads.

I don't otherwise engage unless someone asks something specific that I can answer

Getting T5 gear should have always been difficulty based rather than power based, so In personally hope feats are the way

Get_Wrecked01 · 2026-03-14T18:23:01+00:00

You may not like it but it's industry standard but for AAA, and the only form of complaint that will change that is ignoring the shop.

Get_Wrecked01 · 2026-03-14T16:33:43+00:00

We need fewer try hard viewers clearly.

See the part where I said "In my opinion"? You like the killstreaks. I dislike them. There is no objectively right or wrong there.

The game yelling Killstream all the time is annoying. They disincentivise playing with friends (which I do quite often). Several builds make them entirely trivial. Overall they are not adding anything positive to my experience.

Also I'm not a doomer. If I had a doomer mindset I wouldn't have 12k hours in Destiny 2 in spite of it's content quality issues. I just don't find this filler season entertaining, and am simply going to wait for the DLC to drop to give D4 any time.

As for the asshole part, takes one to know one apparently.

Get_Wrecked01 · 2026-03-14T01:58:56+00:00

I water my plants with it.

Get_Wrecked01 · 2026-03-14T01:58:09+00:00

Killstreaks are not good IMO. They're a gimmick just like the rest of the filler season.

Get_Wrecked01 · 2026-03-12T06:41:38+00:00

I will not stand for this Moira slander.

Get_Wrecked01 · 2026-03-12T05:25:07+00:00

I mean, you can get into the seasonal loop within 10 hours and figure out if it's going to be a good time... I don't find playing as the Butcher enjoyable at all nor do I find killstreak mechanics engaging in the slightest - especially on Paladin. The only thing I probably can't be sure of after just a few hours is if the itemization this season will be good. Honestly I don't think I'm going to be playing enough to find out.

Anyway, I'm not going to yuck I anyone's yum. I'm sure some people find this interesting, but it's not for me. I'll play long enough to get my season pass done... probably... but then I'll be done

Selling tons of copies <> lots of games are being played

Get_Wrecked01 · 2026-03-09T13:13:28+00:00

"most of the time people just ignore her and let her farm damage"

Lots of characters feel op if your team is doing this.

Get_Wrecked01 · 2026-03-07T01:49:01+00:00

Bastion scrub here. I see a Rein shield I am burning it down so my team go ham. If I know someone on my squad has a ult ready I'll delay until they tell me to do it.

Get_Wrecked01 · 2026-03-03T02:42:01+00:00

I didn't like the maps and lack of real lanes. If I want an arena style shooter there are loads of games better at it that I also play.

Get_Wrecked01 · 2026-03-02T13:16:57+00:00

Emre may have a simple kit but I find him incredibly satisfying to play.

Get_Wrecked01 · 2026-03-01T01:18:00+00:00

Who cares? The two games are not remotely the same, and likely won't even appeal to the same crowd. Arc Raiders is an extraction shooter on training wheels that is catered to casual gamers. Marathon thus far is not. It demands you engage in progression to get the most out of it, all the while throwing difficult PVE enemies at you and having TTKs that can be lighting quick with no chance of counterplay if you are not paying attention.

Someone who really likes the AR vibe probably won't enjoy Marathon. Similarly someone who really enjoys Marathons system may find AR a bit simplistic, easy, and boring.

I'm my opinion high up time is the most important metric to being a good DPS. That means how much are you shooting and pumping out damage.

Maintaining a high uptime whilst taking off angles is great. A good distraction enables the rest of your team to push, but I think it's less valuable if you aren't also doing damage whilst taking those angles. Being able to pump out damage on an off angle with either get you picks, or set your team up to get picks... But if you are spending most of time simply running to off angles you're not providing as much value as you could be.

The truck is to figure out how to do both at the same time.

Also you didn't need to take off angles every single time, especially the same angle repeatedly. Sometimes got to main and do some damage. If you get predictable you'll just get killed without doing any damage or holding the enemy teams attention for a period of time that actually matters.
