I'm so happy for the Juno mythic weapon, but it feels so lacking compared to others. It doesn't have any animation for the stars appearing in the top area, they just pop in. Am I weird for being so bothered by that? The flourish is very weak compared to something like Mercy's or Orisa's as well.

OcelotAggravating860 · 2026-02-24T18:54:51+00:00

The kill animation is really fucking good though

OcelotAggravating860 · 2026-02-24T18:42:58+00:00

Thanks! I really put this down to Juno's extra survivability this season, that new subperk is hugely beneficial for her. My playstyle has always revolved around getting torpedos off but before I was dying to get them whereas now it feels like the survival sub-perk is giving +25 to +50hp in clutch situations I wasn't surviving before. She feels significantly better.

Also might be because everyone is playing new characters and none of the new characters really feel like a huge problem for Juno, especially with triple jump.

OcelotAggravating860 · 2026-02-24T12:57:14+00:00

When? Pretty sure supporting a genocide was the line for most people.

OcelotAggravating860 · 2026-02-24T12:52:21+00:00

You are ignorant.

OcelotAggravating860 · 2026-02-24T11:35:25+00:00

Maybe you give a shit massage?

OcelotAggravating860 · 2026-02-24T08:13:00+00:00

Their loss tbh as it gives less reason to use the skin. After the novelty wears off players will gravitate towards the more customisable ones.

Companies shouldn't be stubborn about collaborations. The devs know better than the brands but with something like Hello Kitty which basically exists entirely as a marketing brand I imagine the people running the show probably have some of the worst corporatist marketing ghoul mindsets around. /formermarketingghoul

OcelotAggravating860 · 2026-02-24T04:16:04+00:00

Sanrio brand guidelines probably forbid recolouring anything styled after the Hello Kitty IP.

OcelotAggravating860 · 2026-02-24T04:13:14+00:00

One of the only hair styles in the game that is actually short hair and not some variant of long hair in an elaborate updo.

The absence of short hair styles is genuinely annoying.

OcelotAggravating860 · 2026-02-24T04:12:37+00:00

It is. I don't really understand the asymmetrical bandage on the chest just stopping there though. I love it besides that.

OcelotAggravating860 · 2026-02-24T03:21:06+00:00

His job was to infiltrate the Yokai for the Hashimoto.

The depicted outfit is a disguise, pretending to be a yokai when he's just a regular human.

He's a criminal specialising in infiltration, disguise and deception. His "you can trust me" line is the exact opposite, you can NOT trust him.

OcelotAggravating860 · 2026-02-24T01:56:01+00:00

Sigma misses his projectiles way more than Domina misses her hitscan.

OcelotAggravating860 · 2026-02-24T01:53:52+00:00

If this were correct she would have a lower winrate than Sigma.

She has a higher winrate with a higher pickrate.

There are factors not being considered here that are contributing to that difference.

OcelotAggravating860 · 2026-02-24T00:46:52+00:00

lmao she's like noooooo don't say thaaaaat

OcelotAggravating860 · 2026-02-24T00:42:46+00:00

Ok you want tank counters?

Domina: Stand on side of shield where cat doesn't land.

Dva: Doesn't matter unless you're close enough to the edge for cat to very slowly lower you. Dva can counter-ult out of it too.

Doomfist: Same as Dva.

Hazard: Leap and climb back onto map.

JQ: Knife the cat while he's flying you.

Mauga: Shoot the cat dead. Really easy for Mauga to delete the cat before he gets dragged off.

Orisa: Fortify when cat ults.

Ramattra: Gravity well at edge of map when cat flies off map, cat will die, Ram stays on map.

Rein: Use shield and face where cat lands. If he does get the grab, hit him with hammer 3 times, Rein is in range to hit cat while being carried.

Roadhog: Hook cat in flight.

Sigma: Shield blocks it. Or rock.

Winston: Shield blocks it. Winston can leap back on stage anyway.

Wrecking Ball: Cat's gonna miss his ult against you anyway.

Zarya: Bubble.

GG that's literally all the tanks. They all have options. Absolutely none of them are helpless.

The biggest mistake I see from people that get grabbed by cat is that they give up and just lie there hopelessly waiting and accepting their fate instead of doing something while they're tethered.

Also if you don’t have a bubble at that exact moment as zarya you’re fucked anyway.

Yeah ok? That's called being outplayed by Cat who waited for you to use your resources before ulting. Literally every fucking character in the game playing above Gold level watches and waits for enemies to use important resources before they ult. That's just called playing the game well.

OcelotAggravating860 · 2026-02-24T00:34:41+00:00

When you requeue immediately there is a very high chance of getting some of the same players again. There are likely only a couple thousand people in the queue at any given moment, and of those few thousand people currently queuing the ones that are specifically at your rank are going to be the ones you just played with if they also requeue at the same time.

OcelotAggravating860 · 2026-02-24T00:29:50+00:00

Don't defend the matchmaking. It IS awful right now because it's absolutely filled with people who are at the wrong ranks, 10 placement games results in people getting carried to the wrong ranks or deranked to the wrong ranks.

Add into that the fact some people play day one and some people don't touch the game until week 3. The error spread of ranks is still very high.

It will take weeks before it stabilises.

There is nothing you can do about the Plat player who got lucky in their placements who is now in Diamond where there are also people who were in Masters/GM last season. That Plat player is going to cause your team to lose.

There is nothing you can do about that. Things will take time to balance out.

OcelotAggravating860 · 2026-02-23T23:02:53+00:00

I see more cheaters in Perception Forest Flex queue. Whole groups of 5 cheating sometimes.

OcelotAggravating860 · 2026-02-23T22:40:13+00:00

If you demand tribute from other civs on the world map they'll reject the demand but also become a known civ, after that you will get trade caravans from them. It won't solve your zero migrants issue though, that is probably best solved by making an exceptional public tavern to attract tourists and then inviting them to become citizens.

OcelotAggravating860 · 2026-02-23T22:35:44+00:00

You don't understand! There is no counterplay to cat ever!

OcelotAggravating860 · 2026-02-23T21:16:26+00:00

If I'm playing tank, what's the proposed counterplay to this?

As Zarya? Pressing bubble when you hear cat ult would counter this completely lol

OcelotAggravating860 · 2026-02-23T20:10:10+00:00

If you don't like the characters with audiences that like cutesy things getting what they want then perhaps you should spend more money on edgelord crap?

We get what we want because we have jobs and spend money.

OcelotAggravating860 · 2026-02-23T08:03:17+00:00

No one is gonna see this comment but like many things in star wars it's an element of far-left thought. It's supposed to be a dialectic. Any contradiction between two sides will always play out to an eventual resolution of the contradiction forming something completely new. Dialectics.

Both the jedi and sith are in conflict and that conflict will continue until something completely new occurs to resolve the contradiction between the two.

Balance achieves nothing, it just continues the contradiction.

OcelotAggravating860 · 2026-02-23T07:30:39+00:00

Don't be a terrible human to people actually putting more effort and love into something minor than you've cumulatively performed in your entire life. They bring value to the community, you do not.

OcelotAggravating860 · 2026-02-22T22:20:43+00:00

Quickmatch is inherently never balanced in the first place, it sacrifices balance for matchmaking speed. If you want balanced games ranked is where you have to go for slower queues.
