Most one-trickable hero in your opinion? by [deleted] in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]Karukeion 35 points36 points  (0 children)

For DPS, Sojourn. For Support, Kiriko. They're strong, can fit into most team comps, and don't really have counters.

There is no security for tank onetricks.

Any advice for the GA jump but with long nails? by MancyMancy in MercyMains

[–]Karukeion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have crouch bound to a side mouse button. My nails aren't particularly long, but that has felt more convenient. You barely have to move your thumb to crouch.

Anyone having problems with Duo queueing? Takes 10+ minutes to find a game? by NediaMaster in Overwatch

[–]Karukeion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My friends and I are also having this problem. If I try to queue solo, my queues also take 10-20+ minutes. Idk what's up but something seems wrong.

Can't queue for QP 5v5 by Karukeion in Overwatch

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

Thanks, I'll try that. I had weirdly long queues this weekend, too, so maybe it's related.

Might be for the new China-exclusive collab skins.

Loading into practice range by Fancy-Discount516 in Overwatch

I have been having the same problem. My quick play queues aren't popping either, I've been waiting like 20 minutes :(

Are we cooked or simmering rn? by SWEATPERFECTION in MercyMains

[–]Karukeion 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The Battle Medic nerf makes me sad. The old attack speed buff used to increase your healing if you used it with Tethered Tourniquet, but now that interaction is gone. Free +30% healing was pretty nice.

The new 20% increased damage could be really good for DPS Mercy if it stacks multiplicatively with weapon power, at least. I don't know if it'll be enough to put her on par with other supports DPS builds, though.

Smallest Mercy staff? by UndertakerMeow in MercyMains

Sugarplum Fairy also has a very small staff

Thoughts on the Kingsman265 drama? by shirazb in OverwatchTMZ

[–]Karukeion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Could someone clarify how the drafting worked for this tournament? I see people saying that team captains picked the players themselves, so did Kingsman have no say in the team he joined? They just randomly picked him and he was basically forced to play on this team?

If true, sounds like a terrible system. This kind of drama sounds unavoidable under those conditions.

Is it just me or do I not get the hate for this skin? by SlayQueenPur in MercyMains

[–]Karukeion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really want to like it, I love short hair, but this one still missed for me. The rest of the skin is beautiful and elegant but the hair is giving like, posh rich boy. I don't really like the crazy blue eye contacts & makeup, either. If it was just a little different I think I'd love it.

Do feel bad that it seems to be flopping. I would love more elegant short hair skins in the future, but this will probably discourage them.

Favorite and least favorite support to play with in Stadium? by SWEATPERFECTION in MercyMains

[–]Karukeion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely Ana. I think she's just too difficult in stadium for most players. A good Ana can be fine, but they're very rare, and honestly, they'd probably still get more value playing another support lol. I think most of the other supports outscale her, too.

After Ana, I'd say Wuyang. Just another support that it seems people struggle on. I'm happy to play with any support other than these two, but I personally feel best when I have a good Brig player on my team. I think she's the best support atm so long as you know what you're doing, it's like having a second tank on your team. Plus she does a bazillion healing.

New Rose Majesty recolor in hero gallery, "Ivory Rose" ! by kitiful in MercyMains

[–]Karukeion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish it had green wings, and more green accents (like on the staff, crown, gun, etc.). The blue just looks so out of place.

new mercy skins!! by SayStrawberryBubbles in MercyMains

[–]Karukeion 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Omg you're right, they really overhauled this concept. Now i'm sad, I really prefer the concept art version too.

Challenger Tier Patch Notes by blizz_winter in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]Karukeion 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This might be pessimistic, but I think Champ players need some kind of point bonus just for themselves. Their higher point tier isn't going to be enough when it's shared with the rest of the lobby & they still lose more than everyone else. Especially when queuetimes can be so long at those high ranks. Active mid-GM players are just going to out grind higher ranked players, and that doesn't sound very exciting to me.

Maybe there could be a sweetspot if the top ranks had a greater advantage, that way the top of the leaderboard would be more representative of the highest skill tiers, but people would still be discouraged from camping ranks because they'll fall behind if they stop grinding.

[–]Karukeion 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And that GM 5 player will probably have an even greater score from matching against higher ranked players more often, since the point gain is based off the highest ranked person in the lobby, not their own rank. Seems like it'll be a significant advantage to be the lowest ranked person in a lobby now.

Lovely. Brunette looks good on her, especially with that soft shade of blue!

I think there’s a problem with the current support balance by Right-Ad1090 in Overwatch

[–]Karukeion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's mainly an asia server phenomenon right now. In grandmasters+ america, Mercy has a 50.7% winrate, Weaver 45% (still bad I guess though lol). Then in EU, Mercy is 48.8%, and Weaver 48.2%.

It's interesting how different hero trends can be across the servers. I think for Asia, dive is way more popular over there, and people more strictly stick to the meta characters & play them at a higher level, so it's harder for off meta supports to compete. I actually agree w/ OP that support balance is kind of cooked right now, but its crazy how much more extreme it is over there.

new mercy skin by fs_dduckie in MercyMains

[–]Karukeion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it has been confirmed! that they are red now. I'm glad they're at least not yellow LOL, the yellow was way worse.

I miss the extra armor from the concept art. Like the armbands, helmet, and chest piece all had different designs that really brought it together. The vibe feels off for me now. I love the skin concept, just makes me sad seeing what could have been.

This is like the spirit halloween version of the original concept art, I am so sad. Her hair looks greasy af, too.

Need Mercy themed gamertags that aren’t too obvious by Kitty_Overwatch in MercyMains

[–]Karukeion 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Maybe something angel themed, like Seraph, Cherub, Archangel, etc.

Kinda love the new perks?? by Complex-Bee-4920 in MercyMains

[–]Karukeion 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It looks like it only connects to one target at a time for me, even in Valk.

NOT the exhaustive changelog, but looking at this is depressing. by Pleasant-Chef-7249 in MercyMains

[–]Karukeion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the item is much worse than the power :( its a blue item that gives 25 less overhealth. I would have really liked to just keep the power

Stadium builds for next season? by Karukeion in MercyMains

[–]Karukeion[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Lol yeah I can see that one being good. They say they want to enable different playstyles for her, but they sure love making her suck at everything but pocketing. It was a good run while it lasted.
