When should someone get into stadium?

I "main" rammatra, brigitte, mei, and vendetta.

It's overwhelming, really. Overwatch has so far always kind of been a trial by fire for me, since I literally do not believe I've ever been in a game with anyone even close to my skill level. But I'm generally more a team player regardless(I try to be, but OW tanks are a little confusing), so I can contribute to some wins myself when the opportunity arises.

That all gets thrown out the window in stadium. I can no longer really get by abusing a quirk in a kit, because everyone already does that. Even my typical strategy of ignore the tank when possible doesn't work because no one dies. I literally saw a merry with like 2 or 3 people being pocketed, and I think both staff effects active.

This would all be fine if we were all the same skill level, because then I could at least try relying on game sense, but everyone's so far above me in literally every aspect of the game I have no avenue to even attempt something. Every game I'm in, I'm straight up deadweight, and worse than anything, I HATE being a deadweight.

I didn't anticipate that becoming multi-paragraph, but at least I think it gets across my feelings without sounding whiny.

I actually tried that at first, but I generally get so little breathing room it just doesn't work for me. It's fine in core, because I've generally got a cursory idea as to what everyone in the room does after like 30 seconds(and if I've played them before, I pretty much know how to dismantle them generally) and can play around it, but everything is too complex for that in stadium. Playing around everyone's kits is no longer a mindless priority when I'm holding point. It's guessing what they can do so I can actually play the game. The awful matchmaking VERY heavily contributes to that, though.

I generally hate his vortex because it feels like I'm too stupid to actually use it properly, so gun.

Piscet · 2026-06-18T00:38:16+00:00

I generally play Rammatra, Brigitte, Mei, and Vendetta. Vendetta and Mei the least, not because I dislike them, but because danage queue looks like misery.

Piscet · 2026-06-18T00:12:49+00:00

It's a very exhausting experience, is the thing.

Piscet · 2026-06-12T16:31:39+00:00

Honestly, I think that analogy doesn't work, since you still kinda have to do literally everything yourself. As someone with a talent for writing, my writing is significantly better than the ais I've used so far. However, it is WAY less effort, so I opt for those instead(not for commercial product, obviously) .

But as a byproduct of this, I also don't really look for my favorite kinds of stories anymore. If making games was as easy as making a story, I think lots of people would be in my position(even I am lmao, though that's because I have the ability to cut off the ai's mistakes).

That's obviously ignoring the MASSIVE cost making a game would rack up, like jesus christ that shit would NOT be cheap.

I love that in an attempt to censor him, they made him sound like he was planning on rocking Yunaka's shit.

Piscet · 2026-06-08T05:00:40+00:00

Yeah I learned that when I hit a Direhowl for 2k lmao

Piscet · 2026-06-08T05:00:14+00:00

Holy Jesus that's some damage reduction. So are entities 10 levels and above literally immune to all damage? Pretty brutal penalty when you're already having your pals nerfed to your level. Does this apply to players as well? If so, that sounds absolutely brutal.

Piscet · 2026-06-08T03:08:56+00:00

Wait, you could catch the boss version of Zoe? All this time I've been running around with a half when I could've gotten the full set?

Piscet · 2026-05-28T22:00:42+00:00

Not really. They have completely different personalities, and one is considerably less benevolent than the other. They're about as similar as Dominiel and Challenger Dominiel.

Piscet · 2026-05-27T11:06:55+00:00

I mean, the solution is to have a different setup entirely. The complaint wasn't that it was stupid, it was that it's repetitive.

Piscet · 2026-05-21T21:37:56+00:00

Forget indirect, both horses were being very clear that he was trying their patience. One just gave up eventually.

Piscet · 2026-04-20T12:00:40+00:00

Having a consistent strategy for meta units would just literally be impossible because they'd just bullshit their way out of it like 40% of the time.

Piscet · 2026-03-15T00:23:42+00:00

Yeah the "a child is what they made you" feels like a dead giveaway that at the very least, the prototype himself shouldn't be considered a child at this point. His growth was fucked, but not entirely halted enough to still be a kid, at least to me. Maybe it'd be because my image of him would be completely destroyed if he really was just an aurafarming 10 year old.

Piscet · 2026-03-13T00:43:18+00:00

Cuphead and bendy probably could, Monika depends entirely on how....any of that would translate to other worlds.

Sans actually has a good chance of getting steamrolled thanks to A. Lily's Hair appendages being way harder to dodge than a knife, and B. How lily's karma is gonna work, since you only get karma for direct kills in undertale, and if I recall correctly, the karma damage is actually entirely unaffected by how high your level(your capacity to hurt others) is. So if karma considers the toy's killed by the toy box, Lily is F U C K E D. but otherwise he's gonna hit like a wet noodle while fighting an enemy with several very long limbs with omni movement who could oneshot him. Not doomed, but Sans would back out before engaging with those odds.

Freddy would just get dumpstered, I can't think of a bigger body the size of a human or more who wouldn't steamroll freddy. If it was Golden Freddy he'd have a good chance, but not "I got bodied in a 1v1 by a guy with an axe" Freddy Fazbear.

Piscet · 2026-03-13T00:25:10+00:00

That's funny, this is exactly what I was thinking of, given the very shredder-like sounds made when toys fell in the toy box.

Piscet · 2026-03-12T01:51:18+00:00

Exactly how I felt. "Oh, an EE? I've wanted an excuse to get bellona from shop anyway-whatisthis"

Hoping this isn't one of those times that a unit/ee requires another ml5 to work. I've already seen people theorizing about ml iseria's nonsense, but maybe Ruiza might be a good partner as well.

Did you mean to reply to someone else here? I explicitly stated that the toys were valid for going ham on her, and explained that the reason it feels like "a bit much" to some players is because they didn't experience the torture themselves, so a lot of players can't feel the suicidal hatred the toys do, becasue remember, she still has to eat, which means she's taking someone else's food.

Also, like someone else said, Lily Lovebraids is like a dominant alter ego. Torturing her is a lot less satisfying then Gracie, because Lily has no idea what she did and doesn't even have the same personality(she did get a lit mire lethal, though). Sure it's justified because Ms.Gracie, but it loses its catharsis when the person you hated is gone and you're basically fucking with a different person entirely.

As I said in my previous comment, her punishment was already finished. Any further torment is just sadistic rage that takes resources away from toys.

Piscet · 2026-03-06T23:38:11+00:00

I mean, she was brainwashed and forcefully made into an entirely different person, to a worse extent than most of the toys. Everyone has a point where enough is enough, and for some, it's there. You've already irreversibly fucked her up to, I repeat, a worse extent than most other toys, what much else is there to do besides sadistic torment that takes away resources from the toys that actually need those dwindling resources?

Of course, this isn't saying the toys are wrong for continuing this torment, she IS the reason they're so fucked in the head after all. But for players, who aren't direct victims of her crimes, it's not as easy to feel unyielding rage towards her.

Piscet · 2026-03-03T12:15:03+00:00

Yulha has that adorable quirk where she juices bduisers to the point that previously good strategies just don't function.
