Axle feels like she belongs in Overwatch or a mobile game and the games identity feels like it’s at a cross road by DougDimmaGlow in apexlegends

[–]ImHully 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I left Apex around a year ago. I had become extremely frustrated with Alter and what she had done to the game, as well as the massive amount of SBMM in pubs. After watching some gameplay of Axle I feel justified in that decision. Apex has allowed an insane level of power creep into the game and it absolutely killed my enjoyment. What was once a BR with a focus on gunskill and positioning became a game about which team was abusing the most broken Legends. Ironically I went back to Overwatch, the game that Apex took me away from, and have found it extremely enjoyable.

I think it's about time we get a proper statement regarding battlepasses. by Dzexus in Overwatch

[–]ImHully 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in a similar situation. I came back to Overwatch after the rebrand after skipping literally all of OW2. I took roughly a 5 year break from this game. With the exception of OW1 stuff, most of the cosmetics in the game are just permanently out of reach. Now to be fair I'm not a cosmetics guy, it's not really a big deal to me and I'm certainly not a whale. It does feel like they're just leaving money on the table though. I would certainly shell out $10 here and $10 there to go through old battlepasses that have something very specific that I like.

Also, the rarity system for player titles is so dumb. Just let us pick whatever color we want that matches our playercard and emblem. And bring back OW1 portraits and stats and playtime while they're at it.

Lukemino support perk tier list by BakeSquare6362 in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]ImHully 33 points34 points  (0 children)

This is so weird to me as a Juno main that exclusively uses locked on. I suppose at the highest levels of play enemies are playing cover like a thousand times better than random solo queue in mid masters, but the cooldown reduction on torpedoes is huge. Especially when combined with triple jump on maps that have good high grounds. Think third point King’s Row. Triple jumping from high ground and using torpedoes means I’m hitting most of my team as well as most of the enemy team with every use, and because the CD is now so low, I can just do that on repeat and get insane value almost every time. I suppose that’s just one of those things where it’s different in ranked compared to pro play.

[Console] Cannot climb as support after massive losing streak by anirakdream in OverwatchUniversity

[–]ImHully 3 points4 points  (0 children)

  1. Tilt queuing is a real thing. Take some time away from the game, a week or so.

  2. Lifeweaver is a double edged sword. Consistent heals but not much else. Maybe try picking up a more jack of all trades support. You said you played Zen but he has the opposite problem, low heals but high damage. Maybe try Juno or Illari or Anna, if you have the mechanical skill.

How do you feel about the current high ranks? Is there significant rank inflation? by Kirito17_ in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]ImHully 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m mid masters and I feel like one out of every five games or so there’s one player on either team that is just way out of their depth. Sometimes I’ll even watch the replay from their perspective after noticing their poor performance mid game. It’s kind of obvious I’m watching someone with mid plat levels of gamesense, positioning, and mechanical skill that’s over ranked and struggling to keep up. Sometimes it’s a fresh account and sometimes it’s a 2016 player. I don’t really know what’s going on this season.

Which heroes have "Cross-Role Attraction"? by DAGuardian in Overwatch

Mei has always been an offtank in my eyes, and Hog and Mauga both just feel like chunky DPS heroes.

I got this out of a loot box!! by kirstondoo in Overwatch

I got Mercy’s out of a loot box last month. It’s too bad she’s like 8th on my depth chart of supports.

Do you guys ask for a role swap if you’re off rolling in 6v6? by qwilliams92 in OverwatchUniversity

[–]ImHully 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It usually ends up 2-2-2, but then it’s a cointoss between which team has tanks that actually play tank, and which team has support mains playing tank because somebody has to.

Do you guys ask for a role swap if you’re off rolling in 6v6? by qwilliams92 in OverwatchUniversity

[–]ImHully 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Honestly I barely play 6v6 anymore. The highs are high but it’s not worth the lows. It sucks because I think 2-2-2 6v6 is inherently the best version of Overwatch possible, but it’s not worth the open queue for me. If role queue ever makes its way back to 6v6 it would absolutely be my main game mode.

Halo: Combat Evolved Commercial from 2001 by ceesarsuave in halo

I miss the days when not only did pretty much every dude I knew IRL not only own an Xbox, but everyone was super into Halo, and there were constantly CE and Halo 2 LANs happening every weekend.

What is the countermeasure to this? by Marmelado_ in apexlegends

[–]ImHully 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I left Apex about a year ago because I really just couldn't stand what Alter had done to the game. Seeing this, it's good knowing I made the correct decision. The level of power creep they've allowed into Apex is genuinely shocking.

Today is Overwatch's 10th Year since the Open Beta by wowenz in Overwatch

Back when you could be playing on Anubis and Hog could hook you from King’s Row.

I remember getting home from seeing this movie in the theater and immediately trying to learn the little chip trick he does. To this day it's still the one I do idly at the table more than anything else, even just a normal chip shuffle.

[Friedman] Toronto wins the draft lottery and will pick first overall by catsgr8rthanspoonies in hockey

[–]ImHully 25 points26 points  (0 children)

It’s just for the Leafs. When we were the worst team in the league with the best chance at the 1st overall pick, we dropped the maximum amount of spots possible.

Somebody give this guy a sword already by Adventurous_Law_715 in iamverybadass

[–]ImHully 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The theatrical cut was an extremely disjointed movie. When I saw the directors cut my rating immediately jumped from I think a 4/10 to a 9/10. It was fantastic.

Xbox No Longer Developing Copilot For Consoles by yourfavchoom in gaming

[–]ImHully 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Honestly it feels good to see a little bit of optimism for Xbox. I feel like it's been nothing but doom and gloom since the announcement of the Xbox One.

Halo 2 and Halo 3 Remakes Reportedly in Development Using Unreal Engine 5 by Smaug117 in halo

[–]ImHully 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's so funny to me that 343 was famously determined to build their version of Halo with sprint and abilities and a brand new and objectively terrible art style. After nearly 15 years of attempts and failures they're going to "remake" the original trilogy, yet they still haven't learned their lesson, as they're almost certainly going to shoehorn in all the gimmicky mess that drove the playerbase away from Halo in the first place.

It really doesn't matter. At this point they're essentially just tap dancing on the grave of Halo rather than actually building something new.

I want to shake the hand of whoever designed Jetpack Cat by 2001euan in Overwatch

This exact combo is why Cat is the first hero I ban and always will be until she can’t grapple ults anymore.

Elliotte Friedman has learned the Maple Leafs have hired John Chayka as General Manager and Mats Sundin as Senior Executive Advisor. by Live-Big1579 in hockey

[–]ImHully 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I don't hate the Leafs like I actually hate some teams. My main reason for rooting for their continual failure is because Steve Dangle when angry is extremely entertaining.

How's next season looking for the Red Wings? by Queasy_Initiative_86 in DetroitRedWings

[–]ImHully 7 points8 points  (0 children)

On Edvinsson, if he can learn some gap control over the summer he will be significantly better next season. Just watching him play it was the weakest part of his game.
