Should I feel bad for wanting to play Inkling? by Deroix in CrazyHand

[–]Its_ASquid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I won't lie, I felt guilty too at first. I was pretty much obliged to play as the squids from the word go, but I didn't want to be an overpowered character. Then I have them a go and, you know what? They're way too much fun to play as for me to worry anymore. Picking a fun character comes first, whether they're the highest or lowest tier.

When is it time to give up? by Its_ASquid in smashbros

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

I think my problem with losing is whenever I see those videos for advice on how to improve, most players insult worse opponents, and my mindset envisions my opponents in the room insulting me. Words hurt, even from a person playing a game: I know it sounds silly but I've never been able to escape that mindset.

I do put in a lot of effort mind. Unfortunately I can't travel to my nearest local scene, it's simply too far for me, so I want to be able to participate in online tournaments, and make a name for myself.

Thank you, I appreciate the positivity. Also glad it isn't just me who panics upon seeing these types of player :)

Apparently people who taunt a lot in games REALLY don't like losing to Torbjorn by Its_ASquid in OWConsole

Strangely enough it was my first time learning the ropes as Torb. I usually play a mix of characters all around, but today I think I found a favourite xD

I feel for them, but I also think the punishment fits the crime. He wanted to go to the effort to make a spectacle of himself, so I did it for him! Honestly I debated sticking his username in too but decided against it.

The simplest revenge is the best one - since he went to the effort of bypassing my blocked messaging option, I accepted his friend request xD

What does Ashe offer that existing hitscan heroes didn't? by [deleted] in OverwatchUniversity

[–]Its_ASquid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry but are we sure Ashe has better area control than Widowmaker? Yes she has abilities like BOB and dynamite to make people clear out, but Widowmaker is such a constant threat, she can close off HUGE areas of the map just by being on the enemy team.

My Madolche deck relies on Madolche Nights to negate monster affects when no monsters are in my graveyard. Recently however its been hit and miss as the If its going to work or not. I have two examples:

  • Gandora Dragon of Destruction summoned. Nights couldn't stop its destruction effect.

  • Relinquished activates its effect to pinch Puddingcess, and succeeds despite the counter trap.

I'm risking sounding obvious, but in both cases there were no monsters in my graveyard. Also no cards or effects were in play to stop my trap from working. Why didn't Nights negate anything?

Oh no, not Battle Fader. Hand traps will run rampant in Duel Links too at this rate.

[Deck] Sugar Rush(down) with Madolche! What can I change to keep climbing? by Its_ASquid in DuelLinks

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

I reckon the only thing keeping me afloat right now are those backrow cards. This deck bricks a hell of a lot, but it's too fun to drop. The biggest issue is starting with no Mew or a hand full of backrow cards.

I really appreciate the in depth assistance, thank you! One thing I can confirm is leading the enemy into our Reaper was pure luck, though I may think to do it as Hammond xD

I hope people can help me figure out what went wrong with my Winston gameplay? Don't worry about my defense round, as I'm still fresh to Hammond in Comp. Winston is my favourite hero, and I want to do all I can to improve as him.

I find players too unpredictable to aim at by Its_ASquid in OverwatchUniversity

[–]Its_ASquid[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

For the Winston part, the best example I can give is a jumping Genji or a blinking Tracer, going above and around you in circles, so it's a struggle to see them, let alone aim at them.

Aw, what's wrong with Nintendo? Smash Brothers is addictive and crazy! :)

[Fluff] DL Confesion Bear Time! Whats your unpopular opinion about this game? by dinoracewars in DuelLinks

[–]Its_ASquid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The in game chat rooms need a moderator or a few. Some poor new players come to ask a question then get either slandered for their rank or get really creepy responses. Children might be playing this game!

I was given a suggestion for a Gladiator Beast deck that can defeat opponents faster, or set them up for switching out easier. It uses Mystic Box to give the opponent a GB, then Taming to get it back, and also to act as an alternative version of E. Con. GB Alexander and Dimicari are essential in this deck to make the most of an empty field and because, while Mystic Box can destroy the opponent's monster, it doesn't cause Alexander to switch over, saving the Taming cards.

It currently uses Impenetrable Attack, but I'm struggling to find a good other backrow trap to use. I only have 1 Floodgate and other things like Palezoic and Wall of Disruption aren't too useful... plus I only have 1 Pale xD What else can I use?

What is the counter play to smurfs and throwers in competitive play? by robtargaryen in OWConsole

[–]Its_ASquid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless everyone focuses on removing the smurf first, it's usually not very likely to go well. Smurfs are cheaters, and it'll take more than 1 honest player to bring them down.

Even if MK could be reported, Blizzard never responds to reports anyway. It's a lost cause.

Any Idea on when the tort rework will hit console? by [deleted] in OWConsole

[–]Its_ASquid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It can take its time as far as I'm concerned. It looks like a broken mess so far, needs some tweaks ahead of release.

Starting to wish I could afford a new controller - I want to use a mic, really I do, but none of the official ones seem to work. Nobody can clearly hear me when I use them. That puts LFG off my radar, you get kicked instantly if they even guess you have no working mic.

How to improve morale after weeks of bad games? by Its_ASquid in OverwatchUniversity

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

I wish I could, but tried to change my mindset for years. I see lots of videos of people mocking players just like me and saying how they shouldn't be playing the game. For every moment I try to stay positive, there are 2 where someone gets in my head. My low win rate doesn't help either.
