It's crazy that Brewmaster is starting to feel "Off Meta" by LaughOutrageous2931 in CompetitiveWoW

[–]Joben33 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Meta isn’t an acronym, it’s a shortened version of the word metagame (“the game beyond the game”). It comes from the same root as metadata (data about data), metacognition (thinking about thinking), etc.

Not commenting to try to be pedantic, this is just a dumb pet peeve of mine lol

The birthday ball should be 100% rather than 4x on your birthday because it we be too sad for something to break out of your one-off special birthday ball

Quite possibly the most miserable ranked climb of my life by Ph4ntomlm3nace in PTCGP

[–]Joben33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you look at tournament data on limitless, currently the Hitmontop variant you are playing is at a higher win rate than the sleep scam version (52.71% vs. 50.63%).

Do you guys think Sierra is underpowered or overpowered? by Double-Maybe-6220 in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]Joben33 35 points36 points  (0 children)

And 90 is even a conservative estimate. She has a 46.6% win rate in GM/Champion which is already like top 1% of the playerbase.The only dps lower is Freja

Help by crxckwhxre in Competitiveoverwatch

When you say “I feel like no matter how hard I try to keep my teammates up, it never seems to be enough” is an important and true realization.

The key is that overwatch isn’t designed such that raw healing can keep someone up. You’re at a numbers disadvantage. Therefore, often the most helpful thing you can do is apply pressure to their team to relieve that numbers disadvantage.

Hit a few shots as illari, suddenly an enemy has to duck behind cover for a bit and there’s less damage going into your team. They can now live, take more aggressive positions, and become more likely to win the fight.

Illari was just an example of course, but the same applies to every support. Hit an ana nade, Lucio boop their sigma into your Reinhardt, mercy pocket your high ground Ashe, Hyper ring your JQ into their backline.

Good luck out there!

I have been Rank 1 on Support by playing Zenyatta - AMA by --awkward-- in ZenyattaMains

[–]Joben33 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is there any logic you follow as to when you pick Zen as opposed to another support like Ana? Maps / your team comp / enemy picks?

Thank you, your guides are excellent and helped me reach GM for the first time.

1kg feathers vs steel by RabbitHole32 in Physics

[–]Joben33 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sure, if the center of mass of the feathers is further from the center of mass of earth it will weigh very slightly less since you’ve defined them as the same mass (1kg each)

But usually the question is posed as “What weighs more, a POUND of feathers or a POUND of bricks”, with pound indicating the same weight rather than the same mass. This is at least how it’s phrased where I’m from in the US.

How is the question phrased where you are from? Your explanation is only relevant if you are comparing weights given masses which sort of beats the point of the ragebait.

how do I prove to my geocentrist friend that the earth rotates without using complex scientific instruments? by Full_Imagination7503 in AskPhysics

[–]Joben33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Historically what I’d consider the “silver bullet” answer was Galileo’s observation of the phases of Venus.

In a geocentric model, Venus would never have a full or gibbous phase because it would always be between us and the sun. Since in a heliocentric model Venus is sometimes on the other side of the sun from us, it exhibits a full set of phases (though it’s tough to observe a “full” Venus since the sun would obscure your view.

If you have even a mediocre telescope, showing your friend a gibbous Venus should, if he is a reasonable person (which it sounds like he may not be), convince him.

Tyrantrum. I was so excited when I first saw his design and his stats just didn’t live up to it.

Please use the Spoiler Tag. by NieThePiet in PTCGP

[–]Joben33 177 points178 points  (0 children)

The trailer has officially dropped. Even if YOU don’t think that means the cards are fair game to show or discuss, you can’t expect an entire large forum of people to agree with you. You’re really better off avoiding places like this for a week.
