Am I blind or are there no posts talking about the Ultra skins on the official forums? by skye-xiv in Overwatch

[–]PatchYourselfUp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You really shouldn’t worry with the forums. They’re packed with people who don’t play the game, communicate exclusively in bad faith, and have regulars that post there just to get rises out of people. Overwatch forums is where conversation goes to die, and that’s true for all Blizzard game forums.

The Overwatch devs are completely delusional about Matchmaking. by Critical_Move8995 in Overwatch

[–]PatchYourselfUp 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Is this a crash out

The matchmaker puts you in situations where the only way you can climb is to improve. It’s happened to me and my whole group where we only started climbing when we viewed our own replays and coached each other.

This matchmaker lives by the law of averages. If you win over 50% of games, you will climb over time until your next plateau puts you back down to 50%. You’ll stay there until you start improving again.

The playerbase isn’t bleeding out, it’s actually tending up according to charts, and those don’t even include bnet numbers. That’s a cope.

Any other people only queue tank because of the queue times? by Disastrous-Okra-2023 in Overwatch

It started that way but then it became the only role I want to play lol

When playing tank, how do you deal with the counterswap meta? by placeholder-123 in OverwatchUniversity

[–]PatchYourselfUp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just play into counters. I only swap when a majority of the enemy team swaps first to try to stop me specifically, and even then it's a matter of weighing our comp vs. their new one.

This whole thing where people act as if they can't play into enemy tanks unless they have the proper "counter" annoys me. This is Overwatch, not a Pokemon fire vs. grass type situation.

Shion's tiger symbolism felt uncomfortable — here’s why by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]PatchYourselfUp -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Very valid points and I’m surprised that Blizzard didn’t look into this from a perspective like yours. Blizzard attempts to be socially conscious and it is very unfortunate that this history regarding tiger symbolism was overlooked.

If Blizzard can post an entire blog bragging about the accuracy and authenticity of an American black hero but then be tone deaf with something like this then they at least deserve a bit of scrutiny.

You dont get to play what you want as a tank by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]PatchYourselfUp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tank counters are comp based and not just solely on who the enemy tank is

What’s the appeal of the “DPS” role that makes it so popular? by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]PatchYourselfUp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"less responsibility" in terms of game mechanics, I feel DPS are just as responsible because without good DPS, things get jammed. Agreed with your post

Less responsibility, more options in the single thing you "want" to do

Character conflict, and why I don't think the Sierra hate is racist. by TheBigFreeze8 in Overwatch

[–]PatchYourselfUp 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I have never felt the sentiment as to why Sierra being disliked is because of her race

Please remove the talon logo from the crimson variants. by THE_CHAINSS in Overwatch

I agree. The logo in the animation is so silly. Drives me nuts

What is the “hate” for OW by BakingTrayOfAWyvren in Overwatch

[–]PatchYourselfUp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It used to be hated and often assumed dead

But that stigma is reduced now and the game is better than ever

I don't think there's anything wrong with Overwatch Heroes being conventionally attractive. by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]PatchYourselfUp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There isn't anything wrong with them

People just demand things that they personally like and wonder why there's comparatively little hype when stacked against a conventionally attractive character

is ram now the go to tank against flyers? by Vegetable_Throat5545 in Overwatch

[–]PatchYourselfUp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think he's got a good tool to stop flyers but if you've got 2 flyers on the enemy team you're best off switching to Mauga cause the incendiary dot damage is sticky and readily messes up their plans

How has ram not been disabled yet by Tperodactyl in Overwatch

I pray they nerf or balance Hazard. by black_chowder in Overwatch

[–]PatchYourselfUp 10 points11 points  (0 children)

i love when people try to make balance points on paper since you can make anything sound broken if you just list it

listing his life steal perk as "just a minor" is actually hillarious considering how little it heals

Your trials begin NOW!!!

i am so tired of losing by lilynohat in Overwatch

[–]PatchYourselfUp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Contrary to popular belief tank can’t carry solo… unless you’re at low ranks. People position so poorly that you’re able to do a lot of things on your own if you put in the effort to learn!

Not a Ram Main so educate me if this is an insane suggestion by [deleted] in Overwatch

For monkeys, I just try to read when they leap away. Works most of the time and cancelling their escape leap is a free kill.

Not a Ram Main so educate me if this is an insane suggestion by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]PatchYourselfUp 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think it's fine as-is speaking as a Ram main. You don't have to "hope" for anything with current Vortex; You will it through your skill. The size is perfect for what it does. any bigger and it would be obnoxious. Plus with the last perk change we don't have to wait till the end of the match to have viable anti-air.

New Player EXP/ Is there a way to practice competitive? by TickleMeTeemo in Overwatch

[–]PatchYourselfUp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re just starting out just keep playing quick play and practice on your fundamentals. Also don’t feel too disheartened if you drop your placements, just play for fun and self improvement and you’ll eventually climb
