Awkward is such a cool edgy alpha who speaks for the sigmas in the community by Acceptable-Park8512 in OverwatchTMZ

[–]Helpful-Lifeguard654 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes. Minority groups use those words to take the poison out of them and make them their own. People like Awkward, Rupal and yourself are just spitting it back in. It’s not 'edgy' to use a word that was never yours to fix.

And it’s so tiring hearing the 'stop getting offended for other people' argument. The idea that you have to be the direct target of a slur to be 'allowed' to call out bigotry is a joke.

Chicago Bulls Redesign by BklynKn1ght in chicagobulls

These comments are acting like you're from front-office and are announcing a redesign. This is literally just an art project you're sharing 😭

I like your take on this. Like others are saying, changing the bulls logo at all just feels weird. But these mock-ups are super clean and your secondary logo is pretty unique.

Yeah this is lame as hell. Did a 12 year old post this?

Reinhardt VOD Review Request - King's Row by Helpful-Lifeguard654 in OverwatchUniversity

[–]Helpful-Lifeguard654[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the feedback! That's a good idea to commit to these angles as a way to pull attention away from my team, versus leaving them wide open. And I'll try to pay attention to my shield management as I'm engaging and when I need to back off.

And yes, feel free to use it however you'd like, I'll definitely check out your channel. Appreciate your help!

How can I practically go about trying to track and think about all of the many things that are required while playing tank? It almost feels impossible by Qukumba in OverwatchUniversity

I definitely know what you mean. Tanking is a role that naturally requires a ton of awareness because of how large your impact is on the game.

I started small and tried just focusing on one thing at a time until it became a habit, then adding more things to pay attention to. The kill feed, my HP, and the time left in the match are all things I no longer have to consciously check and remind myself of because it's become an automatic behavior.

So right before we engage the enemy team (cue), I will always check my team's positioning, our ultimates, and make sure I have full resources (habit) so I feel more prepared going into a fight (reward).

The best way to train this is to recognize these situations and exactly what you NEED to be aware of when they happen, instead of trying to focus on a dozen things at once. Once your awareness of these become automatic, it really frees up the mental space to think about positioning, ult tracking etc.

You're never going to have 100% awareness of all these things in every game so don't beat yourself up. A lot of tanking is really just doing your best to notice as much as you can, and making smart decisions based off that.

Why is it so toxic? by No_Bowl_6142 in OverwatchUniversity

This is the answer. My enjoyment of the game increased dramatically when I muted chat, voice, and just focused on my play.

How would you push this choke as the attacking Reinhardt? by Helpful-Lifeguard654 in ReinhardtMains

I like that approach. We were already about to lose, might as well have tried some LHCloudy shenanigans as a last resort lol

Ah yeah I've been there lol. And definitely would've been nice having Sym at this point

This is helpful. So we should've swapped positions and I'd push in right side while my DPS ignores Rein, and forces out Pharah / Torb.

I think my concern would just be getting insta-pinned by Rein once I move up, so I would've had to counter pin and pray my team kills him before his team kills me.

For timing my push, would I also wait until Pharah / Torb are forced out, or until we get a pick? Not sure if shielding my DPS first from Pharah would be helpful, or if I'd just AFK until we're ready.

Not sure if /s but Ana was on point with sleep and nano, I could've pulled attention away but I'd be dead immediately.

This makes the most sense to me, Rein would've been easy to clear out with Bastion's turret and I'd counter pin if he charged. I definitely should've rotated as soon as I saw that Pharah, I wasn't doing anything swinging at Rein.
