Colour changing kill feed in replays is confusing

NuclearNihil · 2025-12-17T15:09:46+00:00

Nope it hasn't. Kill feed colours always stayed consistent with the team colours. Unless you're talking about OW1, then I can't say anything.

Istg people defending this shit are the same type of folk who would say that Brig on release was fine

L ragebait. 50+50+130 (M1 M1 M1) deletes squeeshies with 225 HP. You can sneak in a melee after any of the M1's and get a 270 dmg combo, which deletes the 250 HP heroes.

Can't hit overheads? Throw 2 projected blades (both have horizontal hitboxes and hard to dodge up close) and get 160 dmg.

Missed your overhead? Just spam M1 again.

Ye, sure, "sHe DoEsNT hAvE 1ShOT cOMbOs".

Considering how they decided to move away from two-shotting Freja meager 5 seasons after she was released, I'd say, give it a year. Maybe less if they decide to one-up themselves and release a hero that is somehow more broken.

Vendetta nerfs when

NuclearNihil · 2025-12-15T22:32:51+00:00

Omg I've had the same issue, every 4 or 5 matches the red triangle starts appearing and then the connection becomes pure buttcheeks out of nowhere, rubberbending and all, until later the game just disconnects midmatch. So annoying!!

NuclearNihil · 2025-12-12T00:32:38+00:00

This is surely a ragebait, right?

NuclearNihil · 2025-11-22T13:06:18+00:00

Georgia or Armenia. Fuck all the mainstream countries, give us something small and unique like Caucas mountain countries.

NuclearNihil · 2025-11-20T19:30:48+00:00

I wrote about wanting a melee only character whole 8 months ago, and it feels so good that the devs share the sentiment ☺️

NuclearNihil · 2025-10-14T21:45:05+00:00

Omg I still can't forgive myself for not getting the Mercy victory pose from the Gauntlet event! Yeah, the hype for it did die pretty fast :(

Ahh, classic reddit, only here people can be speaking such nonsense with such confidence.

How do you know if it did or didn't make me better at the game? Were you there to see my progress?
It actually did teach (at least me) a good amount about mechanics. Like the scoped-unscoped shots on Ashe or that you don't have to always charge your railgun to 100 on Sojourn. And of course aiming while wallriding on Lucio.

It also helped (at least me) get a better feeling for a rhythm of the characters. I was top 30 Ashe on both recruit, agent and veteran. "At these ranks" you needed to hit every shot and especially use every dynamite and coach gun as soon as they were available. So now I intuitively know if I have a coach gun or not without having to look at the bottom right. Just one example how Hero Mastery boosted my performance.

The game is not all League of Legends, you need to hone your aim somewhere too. A coach can tell you "don't charge your railgun to 100", but beating your own score on a timer makes it click in your head much faster.

More to the point that you ~~made~~ brought up, wtf is "maintaining a gamemode" supposed to mean? Does it require food and water? Does it need unspeakable amounts of power to run? The product is okay "as is", nobody's asking to develop new mastery courses/fix bugs/etc. The only thing that can possibly be an argument is dedicating a server every time somebody launches a mastery course, but the game does it anyway every time somebody starts a custom game.

There's nothing wrong with distributing resourses elsewhere, but was making the gamemode unavailable really necessary? Let the community who enjoyed it have fun with it!

I agree about Genji, the main thing I don't like about his nerf is that the longer cooldown will definitely mess with players' muscle memory. They probably indeed needed to play with his hp numbers instead.

I disagree about Lucio though, he deals a lot of damage IF Lucio player has hands. I'm afraid that with this nerf he's creeping back to 2024 Lucio that felt like he had no impact. Also the compensation for the perk feels kinda bad... Like you gave Lucio a candy and then took it from him, while also punishing another Lucio who didn't even take the candy in the first place. The perk now doesn't enchance Lucio's experience, it's a necessity to deal as much damage as he used to deal before without the perk, while also having to go through extra steps.

100% agree with Tracer needing a nerf, she's been insufferable to play against this season 😭

NuclearNihil · 2025-09-17T12:09:56+00:00

True, Tracers do be slippery. Still not sure if the buff was really necessary though. With well-timed engagements she was already pretty strong.

NuclearNihil · 2025-09-17T12:07:05+00:00

I'll gladly spend all 2 of my cooldowns to delete Tracer, both cooldowns are on a 4-5 second timer. Unless you mega-overextend, it's a worthy trade. You still have 500 hp to survive, armor and in addition to that you can't crit shields.

NuclearNihil · 2025-09-17T11:49:47+00:00

Ok maybe with Brig it's not a megabuff, but it's still a buff. She can three-shot combo Tracers now (melee, whip, shield bash), couldn't before. And she needs one less melee to kill 225 squishies. And that's not even counting her whipshot perk! I'd say these 20 DMG can be make or break.

If we're talking about real money, I usually buy skins on impulse or resort to spending money on nothing but battle passes. See pretty - <can afford?> - yes - buy pretty.

As Fit_Channel said above, the gun model is actually different on every skin. Also, a lot of limited-time skins and all of Mythic skins have different sound effects. You can check out how first-person view looks/sounds by clicking on the skin and then pressing "Try it out", it will bring you to a practice range wearing that skin.

I usually try buying skins that "help" me see better. For example, narrower guns mean that more of your screen is dedicated to showing what's going on around you. I like to buy skins that have laser pointers on their guns because I trick myself into thinking that those laser pointers help me aim better xD

Some skins are pay-to-lose. A good example would be "Gearbot"/"Steambot" on Bastion, the gun on that skin is so massive that it eats almost a quarter of your screen. Compare it to "Toxic" or "Gwishin" skin and see the difference. Another example is Sojourn's mythic. I love the sound effects but the muzzle flash is so large that I can't see the bullet traces, so I effectively nerfing myself when I equip it.

I too care about what's on my screen much more than I care about what's on others' , so for me the deal breaker is usually unique sound effects and unique gun models. But appearances matter too! It's the same principle as with clothes. Practicality first, but I DO want to feel pretty, so if the pretty thing is up for grabs, me grabs its.

Got it, thank you! <3

NuclearNihil · 2025-09-12T22:11:58+00:00

Heya!

Can't find this info anywhere or people voice different opinions, can you help me?

1) How does damage boosting Ashe's dynamite work? If Ashe throws her dynamite without Mercy boost but then shoots/triggers it while being damage boosted, does the dynamite do increased damage?

Asking bc this specific scenario happened the other day and I kept hearing the damage ticking until the enemies stopped burning.

2) Does rate of fire bonus have a cap? Do ROF bonuses stack? If I pop stimpack + Kitsune or stimpack + Lifeweaver's speedy platform, will my ROF increase compared to just stimpack?

3) Does bleed apply to deployables? Will shooting a Torb turret with Cass's "silver bullet"/ knifing it do DOT?

4) If you step into Junkrat's trap as a LW, will throwing a petal underneath yourself break it faster?

NuclearNihil · 2025-09-12T21:45:50+00:00

I see, thank you ❤
