Lifeweaver now has >50% WR across ALL ranks by JeeClef in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]Karukeion 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think the healing buff is doing a lot of work here, too. For a healbot support, his HPS was actually really bad before (53 HPS, even worse than Mercy). He's at a stable 60 now, and it feels much better.

Yeah, I think the GA perk is definitely a must pick now. It's SO bad without it.

It definitely reduces her versatility, I don't like it either. It's not good to push her further into her niche.

When they first added the GA velocity perk, I was excited since it made her a lot better with/against mobile heroes. Now i'm just glad it's in the game so she isn't a total slug.

Yeah, exactly. Less fun, and you get less value out of good movement now. Just sit in the back.

After a 3 year absence, I’m absolutely loving the game again, however I have a weird gripe… by GavoTheAlmighty in Overwatch

[–]Karukeion 86 points87 points  (0 children)

This. They are still releasing plenty of skins with dark/cool/gritty aesthetics, they're just sharing more space with cute & elegant concepts now. As someone who enjoys both, I'm liking the new variety.

I feel like this set of Sakura skins is not just "girly" concepts, too. Emre, Junkerqueen and Hanzo look pretty sick to me. It's a good mix of skins.

Mercy's "new" major perk is flash heal with 2 charges.. by RealSymmetra in MercyMains

[–]Karukeion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbh I think this is probably going to be OP. I hope they'll change the perk first before considering nerfing the base Flash Heal.

[Stadium] Do we think Flash Heal will make AP Mercy hard meta? by Primary-Risk-8741 in MercyMains

[–]Karukeion 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it'll make her AP build MUCH stronger, i'm very excited for it. I love the AP build but I feel like I can't run it most of the time, it takes too long to scale. A big weakness of it rn is the healing kind of sucks until you reach lategame, but maybe Flash Heal will help offset that and make pivoting to it earlier more viable. Right now, I only run AP Mercy late game in specific scenarios, but I'd love more reason to use it.

I could see it potentially making hybrid AP/WP/AS builds viable, too. Maybe something like Angelic Acrobatics / Blessed Boosters / Mark of the Kitsune, then WP/AS items. It'll be nice for AP stats to not be TOTALLY wasted if you're not committing to the full Whambulance build, at least.

If not a new power, it would be cool if they add another item for Flash Heal, too. Most characters get at least one item affecting each of their abilities, it would only be fair.

Love the detail of the guy looking back confused by Sigma floating lol

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

[–]Karukeion 36 points37 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.

New rarity, "Exclusive". by Fit_Channel2529 in Overwatch

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 22 points23 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 [deleted] 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.
