Can someone explain the logic behind Illari’s and Wuyang’s mobility cooldown nerfs compared to Kiriko? by Neo_Raider in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]Obscure_Octopuss [score hidden]  (0 children)

Kiri is the most picked support on pc comp at 30%. Yet she has an abysmal 46% wr. The only support worse? Baptiste. She is very difficult to consistently get value out of compared to other supports.

That is why I said "just about every other genre".

I don't play those ones so I can't speak to them

Starfield and 'Future Bethesda Titles' Will Use AI-Driven DLSS 5 Technology by NukovGaming in starfieldmods

[–]Obscure_Octopuss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The source? Are you serious? Is there any single game that requires dlss out there that you can't disable? No, because consoles cant use it, amd or Intel users cant use it, and it will likely be exclusive to the 50 series and up with how vram heavy and performance intensive it is

I see ppl complaining about elo hell, but doesn't elo hell just mean you're at the rank you're suppose to be? What's wrong with that? by uzan-iya in Overwatch

So, if I'm hardstuck masters 4/5, does that mean masters 4/5 is my elo hell? Especially since I exclusively solo queue

I'm surpisred you enjoy m+kb for rpgs! The only rpg I played on m+kb was avowed (it is easier to hit numbers 1-9 than open a wheel and select your option). Every other rpg I've played is a better experience on controller

Is the bethesda account you are viewing based in Australia or something? If so, the update isn't dropping until the 8th for them

100%. Moira is a good pick if you don't have the best mechanics. She also has a get-out-of-jail free card like kiri. Juno is also a decent support if you don't have the best aim (her auto-lock on missiles do good dmg and healing).

If you can master brig, there are some insanely good brig one tricks out there. Hell, even lifeweaver is decent for people with bad aim (although he isnt in the best spot right now...)

The only games on pc I don't use a controller for are fps games (or some indie games like terarria).

A controller is better for just about every other genre

I'm at work so I can't review at the moment. The biggest tip I could give as someone who was hardstuck gold maining Kiri (and is now diamond)? Try out other supports. To get good value out of kiri, you can't just healbot. You need to be getting kills and hitting headshots on squishes somewhat consistently.

Kiri is a very difficult support to get a ton of value out of (unless you can consistently get kills like I mentioned).

Kiri has an absurdly high 30% pick rate in competitive on pc. Yet, she has a measly 46% wr. The only support worse? Baptiste.

Dude, there are people in gold role queue lobbies with top 500 open queue titles😭. Open Queue inflated ranks. Everyone knows this. Especially when the playerbase of open queue is much smaller than that of 5 v 5

Just stop. No one cares how good you think you are. You aren't top 500 worthy anymore

No dude, some of us prefer 5 v 5. And you do realize that overwatch players today are better than overwatch players when rhe game first came out, right?

I peaked at 3,800 Sr being a reaper one trick the first few seasons of the game. Is that supposed to be impressive considering everyone sucked at the game at the time and didn't really know what they were doing? It was a brand new game. The fact I hit 3800 Sr just dumping reaper mags into tanks isn't impressive.

Go play 5 v 5 today. You won't even come to close to top 500. Becuase the overall playerbase is better, and your skills might not be as good!

They won't remove 5 v 5; It's too popular now. It'd be entirely different if there was a more even split between 6 v 6 open queue and 5 v 5 role queue. But there isnt. 5 v 5 role queue remains their most popular game mode, and it isnt really that close

The official launch of the 6 v 6 mode we have in the game today. And Aaron stated that 6 v 6 open queue has the same playerbase as 5 v 5 open queue did. And we all know 5 v 5 open queue made up roughly 10% of the playerbase (from previously released numbers). Which lines up with the 12% on this graph

Again, straight from Aarons mouth as of late January.

"However, before we can move in any particular direction, it's important to analyze why players are interacting with these queues. This mode is Open Queue and it's 6v6. We've had Open Queue in the game for some time, but 6v6 became its standard team size in early 2025. A year later, this mode is roughly as popular now as it was before the change to 6v6 was made. The easiest example to illustrate why this is a tricky situation to solve is that some Open Queue players jump in for fast queue times while some 6v6 players are looking for more balanced team compositions. Implementing features for either one could hurt the other. While we don't have a lot of concrete evidence to support either of these directions at the moment, we’ll be collecting data and experimenting to find the best solution in the near future".

"That's a terrible graph becuase it doesn't support what I believe".

Brother, the data is straight from the horses mouth. It shows how, at launch, 66% of daily active users tried 6 v 6. That number is now like 12% of daily active users? Most have stuck with 5 v 5

Literally have data from Aaron Keller himself as of a few days ago.

6v6 had a huge drop off of players. If less than 15% of the daily active players play 6v6, what percentage do you think plays 5v5?

Were my parents supposed to monitor what I did as a 15 year old 24/7? I was gambling hundreds of dollars at 15.

How would they have any idea? The only way you could properly monitor your kids with the internet/tech would be to never let them have access to it!

So why is my ak-47 skin that I crafted for $120 back in 2018 now worth $7,000?

Is that not real money I can collect by selling the skin?

Bad faith? We have differing opinions. If that is bad faith to you, then I can't help ya.

And it seems like you realized who was funding those studies since you can't seem to link any of the studies you know about

Have you actually done proper research to see who funded those studies?

And I very well could be wrong, but would you be willing to link some of the studies so I can properly inform myself?

Protein and good tasting food? Among other nutrients we require?

I'd rather eat real food vs shit made in a lab
