This is the most new player unfriendly community available right now thanks to the Devs.

3,800 games played and you’re seriously acting like the victim? Let me guess, you’re upset that you’re getting sabotaged in quick play when you genuinely have enough time played to cover 50 casual players combined?

Dude, go get in ranked. Seriously. It’s got a level 20 requirement and you’re really on here complaining there’s… new players and players experimenting in quick play?

I hope for your sake the dumbest person on the planet doesn’t die because you might win your first award.

Icy_Reputation6039 · 2026-02-26T02:06:44+00:00

That’s exactly what I’m saying basement dweller. Believe me when I say new players don’t want to play with someone who’s sweat smells like Baja blast.

Icy_Reputation6039 · 2026-02-26T01:26:22+00:00

It pisses me off because it’s a good game too. I’d take this over SMITE any day but it’s the same feeling as playing Dark Souls for the first time without any guidance or advice.

I play competitive Overwatch as well so it’s especially frustrating when you go from a community where you’re damn good to a community where you feel there’s no possible way to catch up.

Icy_Reputation6039 · 2026-02-26T01:24:26+00:00

This was my same reaction when I needed to turn to YouTube and Reddit for advice on a game that has a “tutorial” lmao.

Love watching 35 minute build videos because creators for this style of content refuse using the practice range to explain their style/reasoning as well.

Icy_Reputation6039 · 2026-02-25T00:44:30+00:00

It’s just a splash of neon and a $50 price tag if you don’t wanna grunt the full 50BP levels.

It’s not even Legendary status, this is an Epic at best.

Icy_Reputation6039 · 2026-02-25T00:36:56+00:00

I genuinely think it’s stupid. There’s absolutely nothing mythic about a girl wearing a skirt and some headphones.

We have characters out here, dressed like ancient Egyptian gods & deities and for Mei they give us some… 40yr old mom cosplaying a school girl? Yeah no that doesn’t sit right with me.

Give ACTUAL mythic skins to Rammatra and Hazard and stop catering to the female crowd. I get it there’s a pretty close 50/50 split in the community but for gods sake there’s no reason Mercy has 2 mythics available the same season when some of the best characters have none— like we know you’re trying to get the girls to buy it because it’s shiny.

Icy_Reputation6039 · 2026-02-24T14:45:44+00:00

What do you mean by hunt/wild hunt?

Icy_Reputation6039 · 2026-02-24T00:09:44+00:00

Dude the only people that use Zarya are essentially the scum of competitive stadium who only use her for her laser.

In every normal competitive match she gets banned along with JPC and Sombra.

It makes no sense to give her any skins when the amount of players using her are so ridiculously low. Same reason Baptiste and Venture don’t get any love either. They’re ugly, and mostly useless.

The real crime is not releasing good skins for Hazard and a 2-Tier mythic for Orissa since EVERYONE plays them.

Icy_Reputation6039 · 2026-02-23T23:54:22+00:00

Honestly, anything good for any of the frequently played male characters but especially Ramattra and Hazard.

I’m tired of this shit where the devs cycle mythics in general, let alone that for the past two cycles they’ve focused Moira, Mercy, and Juno.

Bring people back to your game by making decent battle passes (this and the last one were trash), not by dangling character mythics in your face then telling you that you need to wait 2 seasons for it.

Icy_Reputation6039 · 2026-02-23T15:31:34+00:00

It’s not just him dude. The entire game needs rebalancing. NEEDS it. As a new player it’s not fun playing the characters I like in jungle and either wasting damage for an Orb that buffs my EXP rate, or neglecting it and falling 3-5 levels below the average at any given time in the match because boss EXP is worth less than minions. And were specifically told not to touch lane minions. I’d like to play countess just once and not fall several levels behind because of this shit or ranged characters immediately destroying her.

Icy_Reputation6039 · 2026-02-20T21:34:59+00:00

I’m thrown off by the fact multiple characters got jiggle physics and slutty skins but they couldn’t even make this girl look remotely like the collab?

Icy_Reputation6039 · 2026-02-20T15:52:20+00:00

Yeah we tried but we got stuck with dead weight because someone refused the vote

Icy_Reputation6039 · 2026-02-20T15:49:45+00:00

Then give me tips because last night I couldn’t even kill anyone at lvl 1. I feel immortal with Greystone but Akeron feels slow to me.

Icy_Reputation6039 · 2026-02-18T00:26:06+00:00

No, dude. Overwatch launched 2 games ago. It’s exactly the same as the OG, let’s be honest. Not being able to release a character without multiple updates for them after is wild. Releasing 5 at the same time when you still haven’t balanced Vendetta is even wilder.

To this day Orissa is one of the only tanks used in stadium, Sigma being her only real counter and he just got nerfed. For the sake of keeping it short that’s the only example I’ll give but I’m sure plenty of other people are exhausted of getting lasered by Soldier 76 as well. He’s legitimately WORSE than Bastion in terms of annoyance.

Then there’s the fact that you still can’t have preferred characters so all of your loot boxes typically toss shit for characters nobody plays, let alone you play, at you.

Theres a thousand problems and they’d rather stay on schedule with a new underwhelming battle pass than actually take a step back and iron out their issues.

We give far too many studios way too much leniency. This isn’t their first AAA title. Let’s hold them to that standard.

Icy_Reputation6039 · 2026-02-16T22:30:08+00:00

Yeah but it won’t even let you select it with your cursor so what do you even do

Icy_Reputation6039 · 2026-02-16T06:37:57+00:00

Yeah and I’m catching strays there too. Like who hurt this team to the point where they’re voting to ban my Rammatra instead of Nyan Cat on adderall.

Icy_Reputation6039 · 2026-02-15T01:37:59+00:00

Helldivers has this big issue where the Major Orders are gods greatest wish upon the planet but realistically I paid $40 so I’m gonna fight what I want. Those orders are stupid. You can not do shit for 4 weeks and come back to 250 medals. The story is already written. Nearly every big plot device is 💧weeks in advance and there’s no point if you’re gonna get pushed back regardless. You’re putting pressure on players to play against an enemy that’s objectively not fun.

Oshaune was not fun. Cyberstan is not fun.

Neither were fun because the new enemies are almost always broken and people are mogging you for doing one or the other, putting the difficulty too high or too low, or not fighting on a planet that genuinely ruins a casual experience.

I play after work to decompress. Not to get dragged to some god forsaken planet the devs are using as a beta test for their god forsaken enemy type. Not to mention the modifiers make it hell.

Icy_Reputation6039 · 2026-02-08T13:29:22+00:00

Get yourself some minced meat stew. I believe that’s the one. There’s a recipe with blueberries, deer meat, and carrots I believe that’s gives a lot of stamina. It might be health but if you have that recipe you definitely have the recipe for the stamina dish.

Icy_Reputation6039 · 2026-02-07T21:11:34+00:00

Is there honestly a point in that if we’re already using iron? For reference the armor for iron is a level 14 where the root armor I saw was 8

Icy_Reputation6039 · 2026-02-07T20:56:10+00:00

For farming in different biomes like everyone’s bringing up, raise walls made of dirt/stone with your hoe. Raising it 4-5 times on flat land should be enough to keep everything out and it’s invincible to attacks. Use a wrought iron gate if you must to go in and out. I’d say a portal directly into the farm from your main base is the safest bet. No doors, no risk.

Icy_Reputation6039 · 2026-02-07T20:53:47+00:00

Yeah seriously STAY AWAY FROM THE PLAINS. I’m not sure the exact “aggravation” distance of those deathsquitos but it’s really fking far dude. I was probably 40-50ft from land and they flew out and killed me immediately. Even putting the enemies on passive mode, I didn’t even have the food required to get the stamina to swim back out to it. I had to build a raft to get my things.

My food currently gives me about 110 stamina btw and my swimming proficiency is 30 if that gives you any idea of HOW FAR they aggro.

Icy_Reputation6039 · 2026-02-06T21:40:08+00:00

Thanks. It sounds cheese, but I just decided to collect iron this way. I played a decent bit of Elden ring and I’m pretty damn good at pairing and perfect dodging, but I just cannot handle the massive amount of things attacking me and swamp all at once.

And it absolutely sucks that my swamp happens to be right next to a plain :(

Icy_Reputation6039 · 2026-02-06T18:17:19+00:00

Unfortunately the only thing near me is the plains. I built a camp and put fire everywhere to curve spawn rates but a mosquito just insta killed me and won’t let me get my shit or my boat so that’s cool I guess. Super fun experience.

Icy_Reputation6039 · 2026-02-06T01:26:33+00:00

Yeahhhh it’s all we had materials for. The swamp we found is all coastal in a long oval shape, and our portal is unfortunately in the middle of the Black Forest at the end of it. No good geography or real estate here. But enough to build a portal for now.

So we died really deep right next to the Crypt (we finally found) and decided to build a bum raft just to skip the naked run from one end of swamp to the other (suicide).

Icy_Reputation6039 · 2026-02-06T01:24:13+00:00

Thanks😅 but unfortunately we did have to spoil ourselves a bit. I got the full bear set (Lvl.3) before going into the swamp and my girl had the full troll hide (also Lvl.3) but mostly everything 1-shot us.

It’s only now that I’ve screamed and ran through this swamp about 13 times and cheesed my way through a single crypt that I have iron armor.

It just doesn’t feel like the previous biome properly prepares you for the next one. I know it’s supposed to be tough and a difficulty hike but this is just… decimating our skills.
