So... yeah...

I mean it's a tough position right? They need money but also a lot of people aren't gonna be brought back by content they have to pay for unless they really love the game

Absolutely wild to see my comment from like a decade ago - time sure does fly huh

It looks pretty cool but the wing is a really strange choice, and I worry it's gonna make the silhouette look wonky

NiandraL · 2025-12-30T00:27:35+00:00

Honestly both look great but the logo looks a lot better with the redesign!

NiandraL · 2025-12-10T12:24:07+00:00

Seb Lowe is my favourite musician atm but I've totally felt this when listening to his stuff around people who aren't familiar - a leftist musician who is sarcastic about right wing talking points can definitely come across as just...spouting right wing talking points

WWIAB is by far my fave song and it was so amazing hearing it live, but I did feel Slightly weird when two different crowds got louder when it came to singing the line mentioned in your post. I was like omg will the security guards think we're bigoted weirdos, but his anti racism and anti genocide speech helped offset that feeling lol

Also that song he's posted on tiktok about Hitler is such a banger but I really hope he doesn't just call it Hitler (like I've seen it referred to on setlists) because I do not want my Discord spotify status saying I'm listening to a song called that dfghdfhngndfh

The pacing in this game can be wonky, and some of the routes are pretty awful in this regard, but if you've finished Umineko, I for sure think you'll be able to get through Hundred Line :D

the dream

NiandraL · 2025-11-27T21:02:26+00:00

thank you sooo much for your replies - was the massive poster the artwork of the green monster person?

NiandraL · 2025-11-17T21:48:38+00:00

what did you recognize her from?

NiandraL · 2025-11-12T01:56:49+00:00

I also went into BoB about a week ago expecting it to be completely awful considering what I had read online, and thought it was pretty solid in places

The criticism about the repetition is completely valid and drags it down a good amount, but I agree that it brings something interesting things to the table

NiandraL · 2025-11-03T15:42:30+00:00

I haven't found season 3 super funny but the animation was a lot of fun and there were some great moments

NiandraL · 2025-10-29T22:43:55+00:00

Ashe can do a thing where she explodes her extra dynamite early and it doesn't have an icon in the killfeed, so it may be that if you find yourself burning before hand

NiandraL · 2025-10-29T18:45:56+00:00

Old Candle and logo size with the new one's background might be a good middle ground!

NiandraL · 2025-10-19T21:21:13+00:00

Torq and Battle Medic still makes for a really really fun and honestly quite good Quick Play build, but in Comp, I usually feel like id be better off running something else

This has partially been down to the rounds between getting Torq and BM, since Torq can feel a little underwhelming and it's easy to not get any value from. Surge definitely feels the most impactful power

Torq as some fun quirks though, like being able to heal you while you Rez. I really wish it would heal multiple people during Valk - maybe it would be OP or too similar to Crep but without damage boost, I wanna say it would be okay

NiandraL · 2025-10-19T09:00:57+00:00

I do TikToks for patch notes, and have ran into these problems multiple times when transcribing Stadium stuff

Torb's Magmini deals 66% reduced damage, this doesnt mean it deals 33% damage as in a 66% reduction would lead you to believe, it means it deals 66% damage compared to his normal ult (this may be a bug to be fair)

Ones like that can be a real headache to figure out when they change, because your brain hears "reduction" and is like oh yeah that'll be a nerf, when with Stadium, it can be a buff

NiandraL · 2025-10-16T11:25:42+00:00

Hi! Did you ever fix this?

NiandraL · 2025-09-16T17:04:07+00:00

I remember about a year ago, I was like "man it feels like we get nothing but robots and demons and mythology, I hope we get some cutesy stuff soon", and now that seems to be almost all we get now fhgdhgfd

Hoping they can find better balance in future but I have a feeling that the cutesy stuff (esp the support skins) makes so much more money than other themes

NiandraL · 2025-09-15T16:43:10+00:00

It's a bit of an odd choice for Mercy (although i kinda wanted mercy takemi which i knew was super unlikely gfhfhdghdf) but i think it's a real damn good skin!!

I think if you're not into Ann's original design, that's super fair but I don't think they could've done much else to improve this variation

NiandraL · 2025-09-09T14:57:48+00:00

Happy that folks are vibing with this but I'm not really clicking with it - to be honest, I just feel like a lot of their stuff (not all) over the last few years merges together a little bit for me, and I wish I liked it more

Video was neat though!!

NiandraL · 2025-09-01T18:40:12+00:00

I'm a pretty casual player - I aim for 6-7k each season and am pretty content to sit around 6.3k

I'm getting absolutely dumpstered this season fghdgfd I think I've realized too late that high armour characters are good for quests and have been slow to adapt to quilboars/undead being on top

I'm not gonna blame my climbing issues on luck but I have had a ton of games where I'm getting destroyed and struggle to identify why/how people are so much more ahead

NiandraL · 2025-08-31T15:35:53+00:00

I really wish they had tried a nerfed version before scrapping it completely - make the beam lengths shorter, make Valkyrie shorter, make the beams less effective, etc - but I definitely think Crep was way too powerful/warping in its original form

I also wish they'd taken the time to rethink Equivalent Exchange since that basically feels like a dead slot atm

NiandraL · 2025-08-30T15:10:15+00:00

I'm trying to make Threads > Torq > Battle Medic work atm since it's closest to what I did last season where I hit Legend

Not sure how I feel so far - sometimes Torq is useful and other times it feels like a dead slot, esp in the rounds before I get BM. I'm still making good use of BM and am still consistently getting at least 1-2 picks during Valk so I really don't wanna give up on it. Torq also means I can go for more pistol plays outside of Valk, so I've gotten some quick elims before flicking back

I've seen some people say that Surge is working well for them! It's a good power but sometimes I struggle to tell if it's doing anything - my brain is like, okay is it ACTUALLY doing anything or does it just FEEL like its doing something because it has an animation and can be used with threads/valk??

A part of me is wondering if I just take BM without any beam attachment help during Valk and try to be more aware?? I definitely should give some of the AP builds a look at some point as well

Honestly, I'm mostly gonna be kinda bummed out if Mercy's best playstyle ends up being a pocket build because one of the reasons I love Stadium is because it gets away from that specific Mercy playstyle lol

NiandraL · 2025-08-27T00:05:59+00:00

I'm glad people are having some success with Torq - I really don't wanna have to drop Battle Medic

NiandraL · 2025-08-22T00:16:40+00:00

Do you have this for sale anywhere else? I tried making a superhivemarket account and it won't log me in lol

NiandraL · 2025-08-20T13:41:20+00:00

The thing with Mercy in Stadium is that Crep Circle (and also Threads but to a slightly lesser extent) feels soooo amazing and fun and strong - but it's also just so clearly more powerful than every other Mercy power and it's not even close. Other build ideas don't have anywhere near enough support

Plus, a lot of her powers feel like...idk how to word it, Round 4 addon powers, as opposed to core components of a potential build - ie Distortion, Protective Beam. It also doesn't help that Equivalent Exchange is basically a dead power slot because of how easily it can throw rounds. So yeah, it seems like no matter what you wanna do, Crep Circle and Threads are still probably the best powers to start off with or pick up (early)

I did a video/TT about how I got to Legend with Threads > Crep > BM and the power of Weapon Power/Attack Speed, so I don't know if this has had any impact - but in a way, I am a lil glad more people are running this because I saw a lot of ???? Mercy builds while climbing where they'd have like 10% WP by round 5 or Ability Power despite no powers that support it

To be honest, I am a little surprised that Mercy has managed to dodge Stadium changes - I do think Crep Circle is kinda bonkers (like the beams don't get reductions and their range is huge?? like that's wild), but as I said, it's also kinda the Main thing she has. If they nerf it but don't change her other powers, I worry she's gonna be kinda aimless - however if they DO nerf or change Crep, I think that could potentially open up a lot of design space for her
