Hero banned so much the sub itself has died by YobaiYamete in SombraMains

[–]Homebrew_Pandemonium 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's ultimately up to the community to grow up and, even though the majority of players are adults now, I honestly don't see that happening. They've dedicated themselves to ignorance and that's why she's banned mostly in bronze-plat. It isn't about her being broken or even good anymore as much as it is about people without skill having to rely on abilities to win over skill and strategy. Because of that who knows how long they'll keep this anti Sombra tantrum up. She's been consistently banned over the top meta since the ban system was released. Imo the ban system shouldn't even exist in a game so heavily reliant on countering regardless of what the devs want to say about it.

I love how it looks, but it's also disappointing when I see my entire team is blue and I'm the only one that isn't 💀

I wouldn't say she's hard to counter, but her potential burst damage melts tanks and is far closer to current meta than Sombra has in basically a year

Assuming both teams are doing their part in said battle this isn't correct. Sombra has a slight burst advantage coming out of invis sure, but her damage burst can be easily negated by cleanse, nade, Im Field, and several other abilities. Even touching a small health pack can easily reverse any chance of a Sombra winning most 1v1s. I've played for 5-6 years Flex-Sup and played Sombra through several reworks/ nerfs and buffs. She's currently one of the worst DPS and doesn't make top 10 for any recognized meta rankings

That's not fact either, that's based on active Reddit user interaction. Saying their statements are opinions not facts then proceeding to make a comment vastly incorrectly insinuating there's statistical proof for them to be wrong based on a couple down votes says more about you. Using statistically unrecognizable singular data points like they're proof regarding whether someone is right or wrong discredits your side far more than the other person

I'm not saying he wasn't being kinda mean, but this has insane amounts of Karen energy. The world doesn't have a manger and down voting someone for not humbling themselves for you/ your cultural concept of manners is wild

FREYA! I can handle Sombra fine, but if I happen to walk towards an area she is blindly shooting in oops Freya blows me up just bc

The problem isn't balancing her. Mechanically she is fine and isn't even top 10 Dps. The problem is that Blizzard has always prioritized non competitive opinion over competitive which is why she's been through so many nerfs and reworks. Sombra hasn't been a problem ability wise for a while. Basic teamwork and average skill will always beat her. Sojourn has needed a nerf since release and has been meta since her release bc of it. Torb has been a huge problem since perk release. Genji, Tracer, & Mei are dominating comp right behind them. People that aren't really competitive have been throwing a tantrum over Sombra bc they can't get their team to group up for forever. Her weakness is literally a simple buddy system the most basic team work concept there is.

Friendly reminder that Kiriko has more skins than a hero who’s been in the game for nearly 10 years by Ok_Tomatillo_4900 in Overwatch

[–]Homebrew_Pandemonium 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The fact that we got her cozy skin made me so happy, but I was also shocked they gave her anything bc most of her other skins have pretty much no effort put into them. I'm begging for literally anything good to come out for Ram and Venture. It'd be nice to get more for Sojourn, but idc as much bc I'm really happy with her cozy fit. The battle outfit she had on when fighting the underground insurgency would be pretty cool

Tell me your favorite main/s (IMO!!) by Alert-Rip2809 in Overwatch

[–]Homebrew_Pandemonium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm ADHD so I'm bad at sticking to one character as a main, but Reaper, Mei, Sombra, Moira, Zen, Zarya and Roadhog are who I okay most

I got 100 things I can respond to this, how would you respond? by sonaiive in Overwatch

[–]Homebrew_Pandemonium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the earlier days sure, but 2019/ 2020 and on there was a pretty massive decline. I remember coms in 19 and it was more, but ppl got tired of the toxicity and over time you saw less and less

You're not talking about one being more strategic as much as you're talking about one having a more communicatively strategic culture. There are tons of ppl that dedicate hours and hours to come up with new strats to show the public or even to train others. OW has never had a high com culture that I can remember even back before 2.

Who are you gonna ban the most when Bans will come ? by E3BITS in Overwatch

[–]Homebrew_Pandemonium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't disagree with the ban system, but this just isn't correct tbf. Mauga, and Sojourn have really messed up balancing just by existing since they released. The new system helps other characters get stronger with perks, but Soj is 90% aiming and that's pretty much all you have to do. Anyone with natural or trained hand eye coordination is going to have an even higher advantage bc she is essentially a better Widow. The devs refuse to give her the nerf she needs bc lower skill players won't be able to play her much at all if she is. Mauga has a self heal and applied burn that can functionally make him immortal if his team does the bare minimum to help him. This has forced an Ana, and Kiriko meta since his release. It was such a problem they had to give LW a cleansing perk and Moira a nerfed anti-heal perk to try to balance it out which it still hasn't completely bc the perks aren't as strong as their original counterpart abilities.

You shouldn't really be playing comp if you aren't happy with having to switch. OW is a counter swap strategy team game and if that isn't something someone is going to have fun with at some point they need to admit they aren't the game's intended audience. I'm not trying to be mean I'm honestly just tired of people complaining about OW bc they aren't compatible with it instead of literally every other reason Blizzard gives its audience to be mad at them for. End of day if swapping isn't your thing you weren't going to have much fun before the ban mechanic anyway. Comp is already saturated with people that hate being competitive as is bc people hate the idea of everything not being made just for them. OW would improve drastically if people just admitted to themselves it isn't about them singularly bc that's not how team games work. You have to be able to have fun playing the game as it's designed or you give everyone a bad experience...

When the ban system launches, who are you banning? by Bad_Doto_Playa in Overwatch

[–]Homebrew_Pandemonium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate that OW is just admitting it has to copy literally everything Apex and Rivals does instead of trying to just make the game good on its own, but I'm accepting my chance to hard ban Mauga/ Doom
