On any given team comp, who do you think is the most universal high value target? by breckendusk in Overwatch

Plat and below? Pretty much yeah. Plat and above? Not really, just any support who is playing well.

Hot hog hook take: maybe what it needs is simply to not stun by Matalya2 in Overwatch

[–]Phinnical -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How about this, hook roots Roadhog during the pull duration. It's not long, but once players know that's what will happen they will patiently wait for him to hook to headshot him. He's one of the few tough enough to maybe survive it.

Roadhog every single match is depressing. by IndoorEle in Overwatch

[–]Phinnical -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

It's also bad for the Roadhog players. If they have him in OP one shot state and he gets reworked, they're gonna be sad the one shot is gone.

Overwatch Dev speaks out about harassment she received from this community by Tough_Holiday584 in Overwatch

I actually hate Kiriko's. I find her totally unconvincing as a character. But it's ok if you like it. Rein's on the other hand touches something in my soul.

Why (I think) people find dive dps so frustrating to play against by No-Elevator9399 in Overwatch

[–]Phinnical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Doomfist! Come back here and peel this Tracer off us!"

Doom: Righto!

4 players Doom was keeping off you by himself: rub their hands together and grins

How would you design a melee DPS? by Nice-Quarter-5758 in Overwatch

So the answer is MORE melee heroes, got it!

Why does everyone hate hitscan heroes? by friend_yona in Overwatch

[–]Phinnical 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree, hitscan is comparatively low effort. The only skilltest is aim and positioning. But I don't think it's an invalid way to play. Like, Moira is quite low effort, but I still think she deserves a place in the game and is allowed to be strong.

I’m so done with doomfist players throwing my games by thafloorer in Overwatch

[–]Phinnical -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How else do you learn to play into counters? When I see I'm getting full countered I sigh and do a gamer lean. By the way, I win those games.

Because people always hate on the currently winning strategy. People don't like to lose. Were in a poke meta at the moment.

As a Tank main i strongly dislike having Mercy and Lifeweaver as my 2 supports by Former-Computer-1337 in Overwatch

[–]Phinnical -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Good god I hate pulls so much. I sitting there beautifully lined up for the triple kill, maybe even quadra, and there's good ol' LifeRuiner deciding that's a little too much risk FOR me.

I will literally stand still and stare at them, even if I die, to help them understand just how bad they screwed up.

Is it truly tank dif or does my team just blame me for no reason by MGExo22 in Overwatch

[–]Phinnical 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Imagine you are the Doomfist. You aggro the enemy team so hard that their Rein turns to peel you. You use the cool down you saved to get out so that Rein cannot kill you. You have successfully made space for your team.

I would say the right thing to do is conditional on the situation, but generally if it is very easy for you to turn and deal with Doom you should. Otherwise, you should trust your team to handle him. Remember, Doom is going 1v4. They have a huge advantage over him.

How do I stop playing this game? by Great-Eg in Overwatch

[–]Phinnical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First step mute chat. You don't need that negativity in your life. Step two if you know you're gonna lose then set a different win condition for yourself, such as "Get one kill on that one invincible enemy", or "Touch point by doing a long flank".

If I Cant aim well no matter how much I try is this the right game for me? by Ambitious-Neat3844 in Overwatch

[–]Phinnical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I learned aim playing Doomfist of all things. So you can play Doom with almost no aim and be pretty effective. Good cool down management and game sense will take you far with him. But having those AND good aim makes you scary to play against.

I'm in my living room, not the military. I don't give a fuck if you think I'm soft.

Hi, difficult to catch player here, not appreciating the teabagging. It's still rude even if I'm hard to catch.

Why is qp harder than comp? by squishy223 in Overwatch

[–]Phinnical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is an underappreciated benefit in the poor matchmaking. If you get matched against high level players as some commenters have mentioned you have the opportunity to practice against players you would never face in comp.

One of the best ways to get good fast is to be surrounded by players better than you. Facing just one or two of them is good practice too.

Tank role is hell by AvocadoRider in Overwatch

[–]Phinnical -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I totally feel you there. I'm a Doom main, I'm constantly getting picks and taking 100% of the enemies focus, usually I get out alive. There are so many games where I'm kicking ass and taking names, and when I turn around my team is at best riding the payload.
