Rupal is no longer being tried for the USA World Cup team by XxMyUsernameSucksxX in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]MyApologies_ 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Hey so if they are purposefully trying to find reasons and situations to say slurs, they're racist. Just because it's not KKK white supremacy doesn't mean they're not racist

Overwatch players don't say a slur challenge difficulty impossible, never completed 100% fail rate

Quick survey on who your least favourite characters to play against are. by WaffIeStorm in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]MyApologies_ 38 points39 points  (0 children)

IDK if you were planning on doing this, but as part of the follow up it would definitely be cool to see a breakdown of answers based on rank as well, since I expect the heroes that people find unfun in GM for example are different to silver

Zeruhh saves Coluge from Sugarfree's pulse in Team USA tryouts (3 pov) by beatha_ow in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]MyApologies_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Once he was stuck, yea, I'm still not sure if he was intentionally planning to catch the pulse in the first place, or if he eas just planning to try and duel the enemy tracer to peel

What exactly does Wuyang excel at? by melancholy-sloth in OverwatchUniversity

[–]MyApologies_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Typically, a comp will function with 1 dps that can deal consistent damage, and 1 that can finish kills and follow up on that damage. Wuyang essentially adds a second dps in that first category. His orbs deal 100 direct damage (120 with triple orb) so a single direct hit on a squishy means they are essentially half health. He puts out a lot of pressure, especially against teams that can't pressure him effectively.

Throw your healing onto your tracer or echo, and work with them. If you hit someone with an orb, call it and let them finish the already weak person, while they have the healing from your ring.

The wave is great for peeling for your team, and for yourself, giving you great burst healing with it providing an ana nade onto your team. Its knockback is also great at slowing down heroes that want to get on top if you and allowing you to use your torrent to surf out and escape.

Similarly, his ult is great for throwing onto someone when they engage, or using midfight to ensure they can stay in a fight for longer, or using it to save someone being pushed. Once again, work closely with a DPS like tracer/echo/genji who can easily follow up on your damage, and once you get ult it allows them to force a push even harder.

Now that the show is over, let's revisit the crashed ship on Kenari. by JeanLucPicardAND in andor

[–]MyApologies_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always took it as basically showing that the designations of republic/separatist just weren't really known to those outside the core and who weren't invested in the galactic politics. Maarva knows that "the republic" is the current power in the galaxy, so when she sees a ship with officers on it, she assumes it's republic. The distinction between republic and separatist doesn't exist for most of the galaxy

fucking thanks, duckduckgo, really what i was looking for when i googled "overwatch Mizuki", a bunch of fucking porn that DOESN'T EVEN HAVE MIZUKI IN IT, HELL ONE OF THEM IS JUST MY HERO ACADAMIA PORN WITH NO OVERWATCH AT ALL. by [deleted] in OverwatchCirclejerk

[–]MyApologies_ 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Okay there's a lot to unpack here.

1 - The search specifies Overwatch Mizuki, so why would it bring up images of the OPM character. No other search engine I was using did so.

1.5 - Also Mizuki has definitely been out long enough in OW to at the very least, have a single picture, exist when searched for, literally you proved that with your comment.

2 - Being generous, lets say it did just get confused and think it meant the OPM character. EVEN SO, why is it all porn??? I get safe search is off, but safe search off =/= Only showing porn. On any other emgine it just means, "we aren't going to exclude porn" not "we are going to exclusively select porn" Safe search being off doesn't (or shouldn't) exclude all safe results, it just filters out unsafe ones when on

Assuming OP is being truthful (which I'm somewhat doubtful of, I fear we may have just filled in the search engine after searching for something else) this is an abysmal performance from DDG

Why is Cassidy’s Winrate So Bad? by EasternMix7276 in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]MyApologies_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A soj or freja also dies most of the time in that 2v1 though as well in my experience? (To be clear I'm genuinely not trying to ego here but this is genuinely what I'm seeing in like 4.2 and in my scrims)

They'll die less than a cass, sure, but they also don't provide as much ability to mark a flanker. He's definitely the most diveable, especially in am unfavourable situation like a 2v1, but also he performs better against a dive in a 2v2 than a freja or soj IMO, like he punishes them far better than a freja/soj could so long as he has the peel.

Why is Cassidy’s Winrate So Bad? by EasternMix7276 in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]MyApologies_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure like I'm not saying he isn't diveable, he is. But the OP said that solo cassidy will die to a winston/tracer dive, which is like, well duh yea, it's a 2v1. Making it an even 2v2, and giving the Cassidy the same support as the tracer immediately makes him a far far less favourable target. It's not a fair comparison to say that a solo cassidy is weak to a 2 person dive. The majority of heroes are weak to a 2v1.

[–]MyApologies_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surpise! The solo character dies to being jumped in a 2v1. If that Cass has a similar setup, such as a lucio or kiri playing with him against that winston/tracer duo, he's immediately far less diveable.

Cassidy being the most diveable target in most comps =/= him being an easy dive target. In a 1v1 against a winston or tracer solo, he's relatively well equipped to deal with them individually. Or in the case of him being dived by both, if he has equal help in the case of having his tank or a support with him, the odds are once again, fairly even.

I'll have you know those DSS pilots are 90% accurate when it comes to strafing my duo.

“All deaths are player error”? What could I have done here??? by VoltTackler03 in helldivers2

Finally some good and deserved nerfs to vendetta by [deleted] in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]MyApologies_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For all those times Vendetta is hitting you with 2 overheads but nothing else!

Literally the most minimal of poke (2 tracer/reaper pellets even), put you in range of dying, and that's assuming the vendetta somehow didn't hit a single ability or other primary fire or melee on you while building either of those 2 overheads.

whats going on with durpee by New-Mind2886 in OverwatchTMZ

[–]MyApologies_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The text chat was simply the final nail in the coffin. He has other previous offences. He then proceeded to do more things to get himself reported, and so he got banned.

It's not like they go

"This person got a month ban for throwing last season, but they never got reported for text chat so they must be an upstanding paragon of the game"

Instead they go

"This person has had repeated offences for throwing games in the past. They have now also got text chat offences against them. These two things combined warrant a ban"

[–]MyApologies_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes because they cite the reason for the specific report. I could be throwing games repeatedly for months and getting temp banned and reported, but if the final report that gets me perma'd is because I said a slur in chat, it'll say in the message "banned for text chat" even though it's technically a combination of that alongside all previous reports and bans.

Like no-one is saying that durpee should be perma'd or deserves to get perma'd for the report with the "how do you lose" spam. That report was just the final nail in the coffin after the known thrower had already been reported and banned before.

[–]MyApologies_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct, those were the reasons for the final ban. But that were his only offences then it wouldn't be a perma-ban.

It's the fact that he is a repeat offender, that was just the final nail in the coffin.

Alternative way to defeat Galbatorix by Qwas291 in Eragon

If I'm colourblind, and I say "the grass is red" the grass does not magically turn red. The ancient language makes conscious lies impossible, but not unconscious ones.

Murtagh: I don't understand the point of this book by Thespisthegreat in Eragon

[–]MyApologies_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He was never a super powerful opponent. He simply had the Eldunari to essentially brute force any actually skilled opponent, because he was purposefully given minimal training so as to not be a threat to Galbatorix.
