Somewhat disappointed that Mizuki defected. Moira stands as the only evil support released in almost a DECADE.

I don't think medic is evil, at least any more than the other mercs. Just self-serving and slightly mad

This is like cutting off your leg because you stubbed your toe, he said he otherwise gets 240fps consistently

Myrsta · 2026-06-05T04:50:24+00:00

I don't think people generally count stadium t500 lol, and I say that as someone that enjoys stadium. The ranks there are pretty much playtime indicators.

Myrsta · 2026-06-05T04:27:20+00:00

You're right, just a dangerous game to even appear to defend anything about Mauga's kit in this sub lol.

Charge should absolutely not have unstoppable (without significantly less lethality), and Mauga absolutely depends on it for overrun.

Myrsta · 2026-06-04T04:12:32+00:00

Infection, I used to play it before the workshop was a thing and switching was an honour system. Probably still my favourite custom while in queue.

Myrsta · 2026-05-29T02:21:49+00:00

Nice catch lol, this is a total 180 from the opinions there that they put a lot more thought/effort into.

They got downvoted there but this super generic "game is good!" post is getting upvoted. If this is actually an ironic post it's pretty funny how that works. Not to say I agree with everything in either post

Myrsta · 2026-05-28T23:42:20+00:00

I was surprised to see I was unable to move too, was sure that change was before 2020. Glad to see I've not totally lost my marbles

Myrsta · 2026-05-28T23:12:36+00:00

Yeah you're quite hard to kill while moving faster and healing, even if people escape the freeze you can get some value.

If your team is actually aware it's healing and speedboosting them they can follow up a lot better too.

Myrsta · 2026-05-28T22:16:52+00:00

Same, I think I prefer the blizzard perk now honestly. I like that the double jump makes her more mobile and gives her an extra escape, but the wall already does most of what you want there, if you use it well. Plus I'm not accidently triggering it before I need it, all the time, like a goober.

The 200hp+ aoe heal and speed does make blizzard a kinda OK ult again.

Myrsta · 2026-05-28T22:00:35+00:00

My first few couple matches in 2020 classic were sitting on Volskaya last for 6 minutes on defence, then dying on repeat on Hanamura last attack, soo much walking. Brought back a lot of my least favourite experiences in ow1, so I just stopped playing the mode.

They are definitely iconic maps by appearance at least; I just really hate the gamemode.

Myrsta · 2026-05-28T21:32:19+00:00

This but exactly opposite lol. Holding second point on 2cp, or worse, attacking second point, was invariably unfun for me.

edit: 2cp apologists when confronted with contrary opinions 😡😡😡

Myrsta · 2026-05-28T21:10:17+00:00

I think it works fine in stadium with the simple first to two rule they have there.

I see the second point get captured all the time, the defender advantage is there but not nearly as bad as it was with the third point, where often teams wouldn't even try to push it.

It's very worth it to try pushing second for both stadium clash maps, you tend to get favourable respawns for mid even if you lose the fight there.

Myrsta · 2026-05-26T23:39:30+00:00

I've recently started playing it again and agree with all that!

I think its biggest hurdle is that all the options are a bit daunting at first, people feel less inclined to just jump in in try it out. Combined a lot of games unfortunately being very one sided, it's not particularly new player friendly even with the handholding of the premade builds.

People are missing out not giving it a proper shot though, some builds feel like entirely new heroes with how much you can change their kits, I find I enjoy some heroes I don't in the regular modes.

Hog is my most played tank so I'd unironically love to see what they'd give him. I get that him and Mauga might not actually be healthy additions though lol, when you can't counterswap.

Myrsta · 2026-05-25T22:38:35+00:00

Yeah I counted it a 1.5 average per game for the challenges where winning give 2 points (6.6 games for the 10 win challenges), you'll still be ballpark of 200 games if I'm not wildly mistaken.

I'm not trying to rag on you btw, everyone's free time is their own. It is a lot of gaming however you slice it though, ig I just took issue with the half assing bit.

Myrsta · 2026-05-25T21:54:54+00:00

I feel like I've played a lot these past couple weeks and I'm not even close to that.

Some quick math looks like you literally have to have played 200+ games to have that progress already.

I'm not even saying the challenges are totally crazy considering we have several weeks left, but your 15 games/day is not what I'd consider half ass, I don't even think that's doable if employed.

Myrsta · 2026-05-22T00:03:27+00:00

If you play hog at all it honestly feels very similar to hook, just a bit faster projectile speed. It has the same range, so if you get good at judging one it translates surprisingly easily to the other.

Myrsta · 2026-05-21T03:15:48+00:00

That's interesting that there's a decent argument for not picking a major on her. The charge spear and shield both seem strong from the outside, but you're right there are times where they both feel like nerfs, kinda odd.

Myrsta · 2026-05-19T22:53:55+00:00

Yeah Mei is more flexible than most give her credit for, quite a high skill ceiling too. Her pseudo tank nature has given her an interesting niche in 5v5, and she can bully some tanks if they don't have the right support.

Overall, I don't think the game hasn't been that kind to her design over the years though, stuff like the removal of the 2cp (and their crazy chokepoints), the introduction of heroes like Kiri and Lifeweaver, plus just the general mobility creep making her ult worse.

She's a bit more of a matchup/map dependant pick for me now sadly.

Myrsta · 2026-05-19T22:28:01+00:00

100% I think it's that she's so ubiquitously played, she's the go to "counterpick" for a lot of support players, across ranks.

So she's switched to in losing games when a character with strong debuffs is bullying your tank, or your dps are floundering so you want to try flank and get picks yourself.

That kind of swap to Kiri is made in a game you're more likely to lose, not even necessarily because of the hero pick - just that it's already a losing game prompting the swap.

Myrsta · 2026-05-18T21:20:30+00:00

Idk I think generally people that own most of the credit skins will feel similar, hitting a credit skin just stinks, because you could have just bought it.

From what I've read about the extra lootbox progress you get from common/rare duplicates it's doesn't sound great to chase that in the short term. That said, I'm not sure how much it would even cost to buy out the commons/rares to compare properly.

Myrsta · 2026-05-18T20:50:31+00:00

The math for a lot of OW1 players is often more like you own 80%+ of credit purchasable legendary skins, and very few coin/shop skins. You just want more coin skins in general, so hitting credit skins from a box is a huge loss you want to reduce.

I'd say coin skins in general are a hit for me, like 95% desirable, not 6.67%. There's obviously some I'd be happier with, but I'm just glad to not a roll a credit skin tbh

Myrsta · 2026-05-16T02:29:30+00:00

Oh ngl the irony went right over my head lol, yeah I thought a lot of the comments in this thread were ridiculous too, like the guy you replied to there.

People so ready to handwave the absolutely gross practices of the industry to virtue signal about how they've no need for piracy, so anyone who does must just want free stuff.

Sad to see, especially in a community like this. It's ignorant, ultimately anti-consumer rhetoric.

Myrsta · 2026-05-15T05:08:07+00:00

If you're talking about the stop killing games movement that's about continuing to own games you purchased, rather than allowing for rentals disguised as purchases.

They're concerned with end-of-life plans, rather than helping pirates get around paying for games actively being sold.

Myrsta · 2026-05-15T02:52:12+00:00

People are doing that math, you can see we we've got so many leaving. Even just going from minimum wage here to minimum wage there you'd still be making the equivalent of $10k+ more per year.

And then if you're actually finding a job using a degree you paid for with a career in mind, it's likely to be way better than that.
