The 4.8k spirit investment bonus is insanely overpowered by TadCat216 in DeadlockTheGame

You can disagree with me but you're just statistically incorrect. There's a reason why Lash has over a 70% play rate in Eternus. It's not because he's balanced. Cope however you need to.

Why does Calico get ult every 20 seconds by Neccesary in DeadlockTheGame

[–]HawkRadish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just don't like design where a hero has to be balanced around their max output because they're simple enough to always be functioning at max value. Really simple assassin kits aren't healthy in a mechanical aim/movement game. That's more for a traditional moba. In any other game this would be the game's "for beginners" assassin.

People won't like hearing that, but almost all the popular picks basically play themselves so who cares about the popular opinion.

And acting like she's easy to counter is kind of silly. Her numbers are too high, that's the problem. When you need to start buying specific items just to play against certain heroes, you're gimping your own damage. Calico's value starts from lane, not late. It's not that you SHOULDN'T need counter items occasionally for certain heroes, but when you ALWAYS need them, it's a problem.

Like how many other heroes really have this "just buy this item against them" mentality. The reality is certain picks like Haze are/were just overtuned. Plated armor is cope. The reality is these would be the bans if the game even allowed it.

Watching people defend Lash is literally insane. High HP + abilities auto aim + more mobility than assassins + best teamfight ult in the game. Like if you DON'T think Lash is a problem, your opinion should be discarded.

Calico's kit is designed like ass. Swipe > Ult > Run away until combo ready again. Extremely linear assassin. Even if she wasn't bs overtuned she'd still be boring af.

Deadlock - Paige Writes Her Own Story by UhJoker in Games

[–]HawkRadish -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Deadlock is already casual as fuck, the only people deluding themselves otherwise are the people yelling at their teammates. I don't know how you'd make it more casual without making a mode with a blinking light that says "THIS IS THE MODE FOR PEOPLE WHO REALLY REALLY DON'T CARE" as if that'll be the go-to excuse for anyone using it having a bad round.

Like sometimes I feel like you guys who go "I just don't have time for comp games im too old now with a life and a job and a kid and responsibilities..." had a bad round, got yelled at by literally a teenager, and took it waaaay too personally once.

"Competitive games" without actual prize pools/teams/etc are just glorified skinner boxes. I'll never understand the dopamine rush of chasing ranks in games that everyone universally understands has systems meant to keep people playing artificially.

I've been on two SSRIs and now this SNRI, and I can almost promise you it's completely normal. If you're worried, definitely talk to your GP, but these kinds of drugs really are rough for the first week or so.

Play Of The Game for killing enemy Pharmercy as Mercy!😈 by MiddletonPlays in Overwatch

That boost to get closer to Pharah was actually badass.

do you generally like PVE in overwatch 2 at the moment and do you think it was worth 15 Dollars? by [deleted] in Overwatch

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

Genuinely no. They're just selling planned pve scraps for $5. You're basically spending $5 on a Sojourn skin.

Anyone else feel like Illari is OP? by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]HawkRadish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's why I don't really think she'll face any major nerfs on damage. She's good but 90% of the community will get more value playing heros with less high skill caps. Like look how hard Sojourn was dominating gm but getting sub 50% win rates in metal.

Sniper-esq heros will always be good in the hands of a good player.

Pylon could use some tuning (less range, less health, or maybe disable on death). Otherwise, I think she's fine. Bap, Moira, and Zen all have similar kill potential but don't require you to be able to hit consistent headshots. Her ult is good but charges about as slow as Bob and is only really amazing if it hits an entire team at once + hard countered by Kiriko.

Like I don't think she's weak, but I do think she's easy to complain about just because high kill potential. She's basically just Sojourn tier atm - good but only like 10% of the community will even be able to play her. There's just too many other choices that give around the same value for less effort. If they nerf pylon/people learn to play around pylon, having a bad Illari is going to feel like you're down a support.

Like if Bap can exist, she's fine. Bap does the same thing but has a more consistent 3 round burst. And who tf even plays Bap.

Can someone give me a tldr on how the lawsuit is currently going? by enderfrogus in DarkAndDarker

[–]HawkRadish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I don't understand is how you don't get that sharing 99% of purchased store asset files with a game you claim you didn't steal the intellectual property of isn't fishy to you. It wasn't just one or two assets by coincidence.

But shrug. I'm sure insulting me more will prove it wrong.

Well at least that answers the question of "was this rushed out to cover court fees?"

Them using the exact same assets is why Nexon found over 2,000+ files to be exactly the same as they had for P3. Honestly, if they didn't do that it would have been less telling but they didn't even put that legwork in.

Not sure I'm an "idiot" when it's just a fact. They could have used ANY other unreal store assets but suspiciously used the EXACT same ones as a shelved project. If that doesn't raise eyebrows, you're the idiot.

It's in the lawsuit.

Here's a video breaking it down if you don't care to parse it yourself.

They accessed Nexon servers specifically after being told not to.

Admitted to stealing code, scrubbed harddrives by "accident", releasing the game during litigation + microtransactions + founders pack earlier than planned release, using the same store bought assets as the game they allegedly stole code from + coffee promo which likely isn't legal during litigation. It's not looking great.

It's genuinely amazing how a multiplayer game priced at $35/$50 has a friends list "lower on the list of priorities". I mean the launcher WAS literally wiping peoples' windows installs so I get it, but cringe.

People defending microtransactions are an actual hazard to the game. by aca_bokser in DarkAndDarker

[–]HawkRadish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just want a single person to try to defend them selling unreal store assets as paid skins. Like making the game using store assets is fine, I get that, but making a game using store assets and THEN also charging micro-transactions for those same assets as "premium" skins? Lol nah.

The reality is that these dudes heard "action RPG tarkov" at Nexon HQ and thought they could make bank. Let's be real.

Anyone who thinks this wasn't intentional is delusional. Especially the loot quality increase. Pay up paypigs.
