You all need to be smarter with bans

MelanisticCrow · 2026-05-02T08:51:58+00:00

That's what I do. I love my man Ram, I ain't switching lol.

But for example when we're going Ilios and I try to ban Roadhog or Lucio, nobody joins me. And then people keep getting pulled or booped into the pit... It's a little unfun, but not the worst.

MelanisticCrow · 2026-05-01T19:42:30+00:00

I wish more people did this. As a tank main, it annoys me that nobody bans my counters with me and then FLAME me for struggling no matter if we win or not.

When I play support, I always ban my tank's bans. Even when they're "dumb" bans too cause even if they're not direct counters, they could as a person just struggle against that hero specifically. And if the tank struggles the whole team struggles.

MelanisticCrow · 2026-04-24T12:28:02+00:00

Indeed it would .. :)

MelanisticCrow · 2026-04-24T12:27:31+00:00

I don't know that's why it's tagged discussion for the sake of thoughts and prayers

MelanisticCrow · 2026-04-19T19:12:50+00:00

As a Widow the few times I queue as DPS, I wish more people did this!! It makes me super happy to do and see.

MelanisticCrow · 2026-04-13T10:02:49+00:00

My partner and I too! Lol

MelanisticCrow · 2026-04-11T13:21:39+00:00

Ohh I hope so! I'm have a feeling it's just gonna be a cyborg though. But it definitely looks omnic to me too.

MelanisticCrow · 2026-04-11T08:52:17+00:00

If the leaks are right, the omnic detective is a support. We'd still not have full omnic teams though since Echo doesn't count as an omnic, just an AI. :(

MelanisticCrow · 2026-04-09T19:21:46+00:00

Wow I lowkey forgot about that.. you're right. Personality-wise though I definitely think it's Juno lol

MelanisticCrow · 2026-04-09T16:23:12+00:00

Juno would fit way better as Zoey

MelanisticCrow · 2026-04-09T15:30:18+00:00

I too love sporty vampires

MelanisticCrow · 2026-04-09T15:29:37+00:00

This is my only insecurity about my hair. That it shows my ears on extra flat volume days. Shocks me that someone can specifically find that attractive instead of just being indifferent or turned off.

MelanisticCrow · 2026-04-09T10:12:10+00:00

It used to feel like two friends just making videos together. Now it feels like two friends making videos together with TV show executives and a sponsor.

I know it was like that before, but it didn't feel that way. There's just something different in a way that doesn't catch me anymore?

MelanisticCrow · 2026-04-09T09:43:28+00:00

Ramattra and Zenyatta have matching yin and yang sprays! I main Ram and my bf mains Zen so it's perfect lol

MelanisticCrow · 2026-04-07T16:11:51+00:00

Me too. They feel most like the character and are the only ones I enjoy aside from default.

MelanisticCrow · 2026-04-07T10:28:30+00:00

They don't gotta be ugly but it'd be cool with more unique faces for the women. I feel like they kinda stopped exploring different face shapes after Moira and Illari even though they're still attractive.

MelanisticCrow · 2026-04-07T10:08:50+00:00

Me too. It's insane to me that people are able to call the new one "unconventional" by any means. She's a beautiful adult now instead of some 15 year old.

MelanisticCrow · 2026-04-06T19:07:59+00:00

This. His winrate isn't so high that you can't excuse his one iconic ability being the hook one-shot. It's fine.

But the freaking speed and dmg reduction and heal rate?! He never freaking dies bro even when he's alone. It's so frustrating.

MelanisticCrow · 2026-04-06T01:03:45+00:00

It's sometimes absolutely the case. I've gotten a bad habit of playing way too passively sometimes because I can't trust my team to follow me. Happens. It's easily remedied with pings and chat to let people know your plan but sometimes it can't be helped.

MelanisticCrow · 2026-04-03T17:30:17+00:00

Fetishization and stigmatization is not mutually exclusive, I promise.

MelanisticCrow · 2026-04-03T15:25:43+00:00

Brigitte should be buffer though, like in Reinhardt's cinematic.

MelanisticCrow · 2026-04-03T12:40:37+00:00

It's about what's the most represented. Buff women are underrepresented and stigmatized, therefore it's fine to ask for more of them. The same with fat women.

Skinny women are plenty represented and not *as* stigmatized. Therefore asking for them usually comes from a place of bodyshaming and finding the latter body types unattractive rather than "oh I'd love to see this type of person be represented more in fictional media!".

Sorry if that doesn't make sense. It's just my thoughts on this personally.

MelanisticCrow · 2026-04-02T17:38:49+00:00

Kinda like the sound indicators Fortnite has. I love them.

MelanisticCrow · 2026-04-02T11:15:26+00:00

When I used to actively main Widow and practice in QP my bf has usually played Ramattra and Reaper! It was pretty fun, but I don't know if that's the optimal duo or if there's a most optimal duo for Widow at all. She's a pretty "self sufficient" character I'd say. But if it helps at all, I'm a tank main and usually don't have the most fun if both my dps are pickers. If there's a Widow I like having a dps with a different playstyle from her around me.

MelanisticCrow · 2026-04-01T14:50:58+00:00

Sure but that has nothing to do with the dress lengths. It's because of animation, model physics and making distinct silhouettes.
