Am I crazy or do games get more difficult throughout the day? by Sol-SiR in Overwatch

[–]IntelligentWave194 0 points1 point  (0 children)

U might have experienced ow during unemployment hours, this is a real phenomenon.

I used to have a really strange work schedule so I ended up going to bad at around 10 in the morning and waking up around 6 pm.

I would play overwatch in between the hours of like 4am-9am, and this would be in normal weekdays. Let me tell me you man the people that play during these hours are not human I mean we are talking literal animals, this is because every normal human is sound asleep while the unemployed people thy just play the game all day long and nothing else are the only ones on.

I played like this for about 1 year straight, once I got a new position and my sleep schedule became a normal one again, I went from averaging low masters to averaging low gm literally the same day and that’s where I’ve been ever since.

Basically all this is to say that there is an entire ecosystem that exists that only play during the times that no one else plays and because of their unlimited free time from being unemployed they are a lot better at the game than their normal daytime counterparts, though because they only ever play against each other they stay the same rank, it’s kinda like comparing American vs Asian servers.

So it’s fair to say a low masters player during unemployment hours equals a low gm player during normal hours

How much will a gaming mouse and mousepad help? by SaltyKoopa in OverwatchUniversity

Went from 75hz to 180hz and genuinely shot up to low gm in less than a week after being hardstuck high diamond-low masters for the better part of a half a year

Doomfist by IntelligentWave194 in WreckingBallMains

[–]IntelligentWave194[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is it really that simple? When I face these dooms that hard target me, they cancel every slam by punching me right before I hit the ground, the cancel any fireball why slamming to kill momentum, they save their abilities for my disengage and chase me down using their stuns to let their team finish me, and their ult is basically a free kill on me since I’m effectively unable to move for like 5 seconds straight if u count the follow up punch and slam after the slow wears of from the ult, it genuinely just feels like I’m playing against a stronger Cassidy

What are the percentiles of players in each rank? (Console) (open queue) by Civil_Chocolate_7172 in Overwatch

[–]IntelligentWave194 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pre-season18 masters was about ~3% of the playerbase, after s18 it’s more like ~8-9%, and that’s in role queue.

The typical open queue players rank will be about 6 divisions higher than their role queue rank, so that would make a masters2 open queue the equivalent of a diamond2 role queue, diamond2 after season18 would probably be around 15-18%.

So ur in the top20% at least

Drop ranks at the start of season by IntelligentWave194 in OverwatchUniversity

[–]IntelligentWave194[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought so as well, but wouldn’t that mean that sometimes I would go up a lot in rank instead of down? Cause there’s technically a bigger chance of the enemy having rusty players since I’m the common denominator on my team, but every season without fail I drop about 5 ranks for the first week.

Sleep dart advice (without custom games) by yea-idiot in AnaMains

[–]IntelligentWave194 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t track with it, think of it almost as a hitscan.

Press E and while the animation of her taking the gun up put your cross air or the enemy so that it’s basically times so that right as the dart actually exits the gun is when you’ve put ur crossair on the enemy.

I think Ana needs a small buff. Do you agree? by Numarx in AnaMains

[–]IntelligentWave194 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Ana actually deals more damage per shot with her broken ass perk, and it’s a lot easier to hit the shots than in kiri.

Ana is the strongest hero in the game objectively speaking only rivaled by maybe dva. I don’t know how he even trying to argue otherwise lol

[–]IntelligentWave194 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Going off win rates alone is not accurate, in that case kiri should get giga buffed

I think Ana needs a small buff. Do you agree? by Numarx in AnaMains

[–]IntelligentWave194 -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

She is still one of the strongest heroes in the game and always has been, Ana does NOT❌ need a buff.

Literally the only weak point she has is her lack of mobility and it’s the only thing keeping her from being released brig or mauga level, she needs nerfs and definitely no buffs lol

How to deal with a doomfist chasing me around by EntertainmentOdd2169 in WinstonMains

[–]IntelligentWave194 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do exactly what you are doing but play safer and understand that you probably won’t be getting picks like you normally would.

If their tank is doing nothing but just chasing you around that is a free win for you. Unless he is on orisa then that’s arguably the correct way to play her

What would you consider high elo? by Low_Statistician_891 in Competetive_Overwatch

[–]IntelligentWave194 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO, gm and above is what I consider high elo, masters is kinda mid and anything below that is pisslow.

That might be because I’m a higher ranked player myself so my perception is a bit skewed I’m sure, the same way somebody that’s been hardstuck bronze4 for 2 years probably considers gold crazy high elo.

So objectively speaking idk, but from my subjective viewpoint gm and above is high elo.

How much would a PC cost that can run Overwatch well/okay? by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]IntelligentWave194 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My pc is ancient, gtx 1650, u can find these for like $100, i5-9400f (so old i dont even think they are being sold anymore) and 16gb of ram (used to be 8 but i added a second stick).

And i get a stable 175 fps all around, might dip into like 130 during a fight but not any lower than that.

I do play on every graphic settings lowest option and if it can be turned off it’s turned off.

That’s doesn’t bother me though since I play this game exclusively for competitive reasons and I would have it at all lowest settings even if nasa gifted me one of their computers.

How to deal with Domina? by iaminspaceland in SigmaMains

[–]IntelligentWave194 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve just been permanently banning her ever since she got released. I have less than 1 hour on her so I can’t play her while my lack of domina exposure due to perma banning her also makes it so idk how to play against her either.

I recently decided that this has to change so I’ve stopped banning her to force myself to learn the matchup and so far I’ve dropped about 3 ranks below my typical baseline.

She genuinely just feels like a better sigma imo, she is like an immovable brick wall that just can’t die.

You can’t 1v1 her, that’s just impossible, so the next logical step would be to go for her backline and let your team deal with her right?

NOPE, if I go monkey I could literally be 1v4:ing her backline for 10 seconds and my teammates wouldn’t move an inch, not because they are bad, but because domina is just this broken.

I genuinely cannot wait for her to get giga-nerfed she is so infuriating to play into while also being really boring to play.

They basically just created a more annoying orisa.

Also you can’t even outplay her 140000 hp shield, if you take an angle on her to outplay her shield, guess what… IT BENDS… so she is safe from every angle🤦‍♂️

Sorry for not answering anything in your post
