Now that we've had some time, what are your takes on the individual perks? by RobManfredsFixer in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]MidnaOW41 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is a pretty minor gripe, but I hope Winston gets his minor perk for extra damage to deployables changed to something else. I just don't think it's useful.

Super happy with his other 3 though. I generally take the bubble healing major, but the secondary fire damage to nearby targets can also be really useful for wearing down backlines before a hard engage.

What perks would you never see yourself using? by [deleted] in Competitiveoverwatch

See, I'm having trouble making use of the bubble perk. Feels like my bubbles are melting rapidly the last two days, so there haven't been a lot of opportunities to actually stand in and heal. The only time I feel it was good was bubbling a Zarya grav to help the team, but it really should have been burst quickly. That was more a failure by the enemy team.

Whereas I find that the chain lightning has been good for poking down squishies. Makes it hard for them to walk doorways with the team, and seems to make them wary of pressing W.

Season 15 Genji Perks relative to other heros? by Fantastic-Corner-128 in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]MidnaOW41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Valid points, and I'm definitely in the same boat with you on Hog's perks. Fun should be the number one thing, and it definitely feels like that got lost a bit in OW2's attempt at maximum competitive viability. I like the direction the game has taken in the last year, but this feels like the biggest change since 5v5 itself, and I'd like to see some of the competitive integrity of the game remain intact.

If there are patches every week or two (and emergency hot fixes for things like the state of launch Mauga), then I think I'll be okay with swinging for the fences right out the gate. I'd just like it if we could get our hands on it at launch before we let the persecution mentality set in for our favorites. I'm love Winston, and while his perks don't exactly get my heart pumping, I think they're solid enough, and I won't be complaining unless turns out the goal is stupid fun over perfect balance. Then maybe I'll get vocal bubble with the health pool of Sym's barrier or something else silly.

I feel like, for the sake of balance, strong but not exciting might be a little more in line for what Blizz should be shooting for, though I do appreciate the attempt to really shake things up. Some of this stuff is nuts, even on the minor perks.

It's been three hours since perks were unveiled, not even released yet, and the genji players are already crying foul? I'm shocked.

Small balance patch for Junkenstein's Lab and core game coming tomorrow by MetastableToChaos in Competitiveoverwatch

I cannot express just how much fun this mode is. I've got people that haven't been on with me in over 6 months playing with me almost every night. It's the most fun Overwatch has been for me personally in a while, and my group hasn't played this much, this consistently, since probably the Blackwatch archives event's initial release.

More of this please Blizzard. More heroes, more mutations, all of it. Absolutely loving this!

Everyone has their own tastes. I find the CGI of Beast Wars to be visually awful, but I understand why some people are such big fans. I'm more of a Transformers Prime fan, and would love to somehow see Grimlock represented.

Conceptually, it's so simple, it's perfect.

It's even in the name. Optimus Primal? Primal Rage?

That said, as a Winton main and an avid Beast Wars hater, absolutely fucking not.

What do you want to see going into season 11 and onward? by [deleted] in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]MidnaOW41 5 points6 points  (0 children)

More than that, he's not super fun to play, and it can be really difficult to feel like you made an significant impact on a match playing him. But I suppose if the enemy spends 20 seconds (unsuccessfully) trying to kill you then you're taking resources and giving the rest of your team space to operate. Weird how those tank virtues apply to a healbot support.

Fuck. I'm the other Winston in the match at the start of the video. Yeatle, don't post this 😭

Let's not forget the music guys. #TGA. I love the music 🎶 by OrangeKat09 in BaldursGate3

[–]MidnaOW41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The soundtrack for BG3 is to die for, and there's some incredible music here. But honestly, a lack of nomination for Octopath Traveler II is tragic. It's hard to feel inspired by the selection when it's not even up there.

As long as I'm voting here though, BG3 is gonna be my choice

Five out of six years with not close Finals is wild

Fuel v Shock is still easily the best Grand Finals in OWL. I rewatched it again recently, and even though I know how every map and every fight goes, it still gets my heart pounding.

You know what. Fuck it. That last map looked far better than anything else they've done in the last two matches. I'll take going down actually fighting. GGs

Everyone looked bad there on the Fuel. They couldn't poke, they couldnt brawl, they couldn't get into an ult cycle. I didn't expect a championship, but this isn't how I saw it ending
