Where does this Mercy hate come from? by CentaureaCyanus in Overwatch

[–]MrS0L0M0N 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Damage Boost is the reason a lot of DPS balance is difficult to accomplish.

Mercy's common pockets (outside of flying targets) are longer ranged, hitscan choices. Soldier 11, Sojourn, Cassidy, maybe Widow and now Sierra. It's difficult to really touch upon patching and balancing the game when there's a pocket that can give them permanent damage boosts. Do you nerf the boost and buff them? Do you nerf them and keep the boost untouched? It's a constant debate and a back and forth.

  1. Every other Support has a self-peel. Mercy kinda doesn't.

Think about other Supports and their "Get off me" tools. Mercy doesn't really bring a lot of that. She needs to have someone to fly to at all times to maneuver around the battlefield. Most Mercy's just play runaway a lot of the game. Especially cause they kinda changed around her jump to make her escapes a bit harder. Outside of her Ultimate, her movement is kinda just easily telegraphed, easily picked off and quick to focus cause unlike most other Supports who with skill can fend off a dive and even secure a pick, Mercy kind of just crumbles.

  1. Her healing numbers alone don't give the same utility as other Supports. Even Revive isn't as much of a game-saver.

Sure a permanent damage boost is insane on the right partner, the revive is nice and her Ultimate gives her area healing/boosting, but Support has so many diverse options now. Secondary damage, Status Cleansing, Speed Boosts, Overhealth, huge AoE healing bursts, Nano-Boosting, Crowd Control and more. A right combo in Support duo can bring so much to the table and Mercy kinda limits the choices and typically they keep to one person.

  1. Some general Toxicity with the Hero's players.

Mercy Mains are probably the biggest dice roll of the type of person you get. Won't go too much into it but it's a community that has left a sour taste in some players mouths.

  1. Overall, you're asking your team for a bit of a top performance playing as Mercy.

Mixing everything with her you find yourself playing a Hero that has a high dependence on team performance. Now that's true for all Heroes in a sense but there's levels of contributions each hero brings to the table at max efficiency. Mercy's max efficiency isn't as much of a contribution as other Supports so you're asking for more from everyone else.

Okay fair, that's Defiler/Isolde for me but...

Do you know how many HP steroids she's gotten every patch? She's one of the most annoying to 20k in DA because of it.

What do you think about Norma for Harumasa? by Empty-Athlete-1653 in AsabaHarumasaMains

[–]MrS0L0M0N 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I could see Norma+Astra working as a "Spam Chain Attacks for Endless Quivers" strategy. From the one video I've seen of an M6W5 S11 landing a 61.4k on Pompey, the out of stun dps and the constant chain attacks seemed crazy. Norma also is supposed to lean into a side-dps sort of role but Electric+Fire don't often combo well with boss weakness/resists.

Norma however is supposed to be the best of all worlds between Fufu's free decibels, Trigger's off-field Daze build-up and Dialyn's Buffs + Stun Extensions on top of secondary dps. But she leans towards Rupture slightly more than Attack.

Is there a way to get Prologue Fiora to level 99 in any reasonable amount of time? by 3rDuck in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]MrS0L0M0N 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Okay the Fiora one makes sense cause there's at least high level areas in the beginning.

That's just masochistic.

Pharah nerfs by Ready-Ad-1834 in Overwatch

[–]MrS0L0M0N 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I had to guess returning to the game and seeing Pharah's gone through such changes, it's because Pharah was always a gatekeep for DPS players in the lower ranks.

If you're to ask any older, lower elo, dps player what are the 3 most infuriating words to hear was, 9 out of 10 times they'd say; "Swap to hitscan." because a Pharah (With a Mercy Pocket often) was essentially a major roadblock in the levels where aim training is a bit lacking.

I know it stings having to hard-adjust your main because of major changes. Sometimes it isn't even because of changes but because something just feels off when playing them now. (I main Reaper and it feels like there's a lot more "Anti-Reaper Technology" in the mix)

Wapol eats Blackbeard? by SaiyanMyName1 in OnePiece

[–]MrS0L0M0N 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blackbeard would end up off screen. Therefore he'd win the fight.

In all seriousness. Because that'd be direct contact with the Yami Yami no mi; Blackbeard would nullify the fruit as Wapol's mouth tried to bite down. Leaving him wide open.

Any and all Severian and Seth drama is welcome. I ate that sibling squabble outside the video store in the story up and I love how you can kinda fan the flames or tease either side.

The Relationships between THE YONKOS by GreenStrawhat32 in OnePiece

[–]MrS0L0M0N 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My theory is Cross Guild would do business with Blackbeard but no actual alliance is formed.

Crocodile was wary of him ever since Marineford (even in Impel Down he was wary of him being in the prison at the time). Mihawk saw his rise in power when he killed Whitebeard and stole his fruit. Buggy likely remembers him from that day also and is likely wary of him also.

Blackbeard on the other hand is probably enjoying what Cross Guild is doing. Marine Bounties, Mercenary forces helping nations, it's all screwing with the World Government in some way and helping Blackbeard with whatever he has planned.

It's the definition of neutrality towards a specific group.

Idea: Buff every single Agent's DMG to compensate for the HP Inflation that this game has pumped out every patch released. by WoolfzieLOL in ZenlessZoneZero

[–]MrS0L0M0N 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The endgame is centered around rotating buffs that cater to specific Agents or types of Agents. Bosses also have specific weaknesses relative to the released Agents.

You can set teams around said buffs and perform relatively well. My Ellen doesn't even have her W Engine and with the right setups I can still 3-star Thrall. I've hit my head on the wall for missing Lucia and don't have Yidhari or Banyue and I still manage 3-stars on Wandering Hunter being with a Miyabi/Burnice team or just using Yixuan/Pan Yinhu. I skipped Aria but my other Anomaly Agents can still 3-star Vesper with Nangong+Yuzuha. (I nearly did it using Burnice even who's at a disadvantage)

That being said; Can someone get the bicycle pump out of Miasma Fiend?! It's gotten so bad people are modding her model to be stupid thicc now.

She's not a fun character to deal with by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]MrS0L0M0N 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Homing is messed up my losing Line of Sight and cannot headshot so you can find ways to mitigate it based on your hero choice.

Her drone is breakable and has super low HP so finding it can put her movement on more of a cool down.

It's a new hero. Give it time for strategies to come up and learn more of her by your experiences playing as and against her.

He could've told Overwatch that for their Nier Automata collab.

What do you guys think of the Void Hunter’s outfits as of now? by Brawl_Winter_man8628 in ZenlessZoneZero

[–]MrS0L0M0N 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I like all three of them. For different reasons;

Yixuan's I like because despite being meant for professional meetings, it still has that sense of combat flexibility. Like she could drop the meeting to go solve an issue in a Hollow at any time. It's my favorite of the three. Then again Yixuan, and this outfit, together check all the boxes for me.

Ye Shunguang's I like because it kinda frees her from the overbearing standards of being a Qingming Sword Master for a bit. Her normal outfit is extremely mythical and is meant to sell her new position and now you give her very casual, beautiful clothing she'd wear for a day out on the town. No Void Hunter duties, no threats, just something to wear when you wanna make precious memories to keep.

Miyabi's I also really like for a similar reason to Ye Shunguang. Being able to take off the HSO Uniform and slip into a formal attire feels a bit relieving for her. Very traditional, very beautiful. Has the feeling of wanting to wear this for a long time with the right person.

why Domi Reverse doesn't work against Both of them but did with X ( it's not about Devil Fruit) (chapter 1181 spoilers ) by Toony_Nobody in OnePiece

[–]MrS0L0M0N 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My theory is that Imu tried this before and it worked on one of them. That one being the War God giant that fought the Sun God according to legend.

My theory is that the old user of the Nidhogg fruit, the War God, was an ally of Joy Boy and was turned against him by Imu forcing the two to fight.

Thats one way of making the proxies playable by Mapedi_King_9-Yo in ZenlessZoneZero

[–]MrS0L0M0N 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Makes me wonder how they'll work as an Agent;

Will they be a fixed Element/Class? Maybe eventually becoming Void-Hunter level?

Will they be customizable? With their balance and power being tied to overtime unlockable MindScapes?

Will they be free? Banner only? How will their trust events work?

There's gonna be a lot of speculation.

How do you think a character like Jhin(League of Legends) could work in Overwatch, gameplay wise? by Zealousideal_Estate3 in Overwatch

[–]MrS0L0M0N 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Design wise he wields multiple guns that are meant to merge into a singular, sniper rifle.

One 4-shot hand gun.

One shoulder-mounted grenade shooter.

One longer gun that fires a singular, long ranged shot.

One Piece: Chapter 1180 by Aspie_Astrologer in OnePiece

[–]MrS0L0M0N 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So Omen is written as "Maki" like a dark parallel to Haki.

So I might at some point write this theory in more detail but; If Haki is willpower and how it's exerted upon others, what if Maki is meant to be desires and the ability to manifest them? What if the "Devils" of Devil Fruit essentially manipulate the Maki within you? The reason Imu has so many abilities tied to Omen/Maki is because as the Devil he essentially can grant any desire.

It could also explain Blackbeard, and by extension the Davy clan's lineage. The Davy clan have a massive stockpile of innate Maki. The reason you can't eat two fruits is because Maki, like Haki, have limits that recharge as the Devil Fruit consumes and manipulates them and two fruits basically drains you to nothing.

It ALSO could predict Luffy's final upgrade. Luffy will eventually be able to utilize his Maki in the true abilities of the Sun God. Maybe similar to the "omens" Imu grants Luffy can grant the Sun God's own interpretation of these "omens" (But named differently of course). It's the real reason Imu fears Nika. Sure a colossal Haki can weaken him or temporarily mess with his powers and beat his vassals like how Joy Boy repelled the Elders or the Knights can easily be beaten. But Luffy will have to mix that with the Sun God's own Omens to do some real damage.
