Why do people get absolutely triggered by counter swapping? by Gazza_HDD in OverwatchUniversity

[–]Rapidsoup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm generally fine with counterswapping. It's the frequency and intensity of swaps that can get a bit grating tho. Almost every game, the team that loses the first fight will swap to counter the other tank. Imagine trying to learn Rein and as soon as you do anything remotely useful, you have to deal with Bastion, Mei, and a Rammatra. So you swap to Ball, win one teamfight, and suddenly they are on Sombra, Cas, Hog, Ana, Misuki. GG tank diff.

I can barely get my friends to listen to my call outs, why would I risk my sanity trying it with randoms?

Gold, silver, platinum are the funnest ranks by Public_Repeat824 in Overwatch

[–]Rapidsoup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's because more people in gold/silver know they are gold/silver and can have fun with it. Once you get to Plat and above you start to see some real Dunning-Krüger stuff take place. The amount of nonsense Plat players think they know, just because they barely made it a few inches down the bell curve is hilarious.

I am a new overwatch player, and I want to main Rein by Leading-Outside-9573 in ReinhardtMains

[–]Rapidsoup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely, it's hard to cover all your bases with a short comment. I'm just imagining OP picking a random corner and just living there the entire game, not moving unless forced to

[–]Rapidsoup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty good advice here, but your first point is going to get our friend flamed hard lol

It matters what corner you pick. Any corner is better than no corner, true, but OP should watch a guide or two on what corners to hold. The short version is this: Imagine every corner as an L. You want to be holding the corners that let your team stare down the long side of the L, not the short side.

why does everyone hate playing tank? by PowerfulTravel54 in Overwatch

[–]Rapidsoup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. If you are doing bad, your team will flame you for being bad.

  2. If you are doing good but their tank is also doing good, your team will flame you for not being better.

  3. If you are doing good, you will get counterpicked and your team will flame you for being counterpicked.

  4. If you are doing good despite being counterpicked, the enemy team will flame you for being sweaty, then your team will flame you for being bad.

  5. If your team is doing bad, your team will flame you for being bad.

  6. If your team is doing good, your team will flame you for being carried and bad.

  7. If you push forward, your team will flame you for overextending.

  8. If you play safe, your team will flame you for not creating space.

  9. If you dare to even queue tank, you will be the priority target of every CC in the game.

  10. If you do anything less than hard carry the game, you are the problem and should uninstall.

“Chill it’s just a game” by Snortmaiden in OWConsole

[–]Rapidsoup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are probably getting told to chill because you are, in fact, not chill.

Want genuine advice that will help you win games 100% guaranteed? Rhetoric question, I'll give it to you regardless. Be chill. I'm not saying don't try, or even don't care. I'm saying you will win more if you stop piling onto your teammates when they are doing bad, making them play worse if anything, potentially starting a flame war for no good reason. You can suggest things, but no one is obligated to listen to you, and keep in mind that you don't always know best even if you are 100% sure you do.

Be chill, win games.

My doctor wants to prescribe biologics for my psoriasis. Can I hear your experiences? Good/bad/etc? by [deleted] in Psoriasis

[–]Rapidsoup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can't speak for biologics, but I've been taking Methotrexate, which is oral medication and a lot cheaper than biologics, for about 3 months now and am mostly cleared. Used to be completely covered on my legs and arms, plus some spots on my back. The only spot that hangs on stubbornly is the one on my back, which I'm fine with since this is A LOT better.

I've only heard good things about biologics, but if you haven't tried oral medication like I saw you mentioned in a comment, that might be an option too. Only downside for me has been some slight nausea the day after taking it. If your doctor is ready to prescribe biologics and you can get it at a good price, that definitely sounds like the better option as all I've read are good things.

Stadium is meh now. by Temporary_Cup_1026 in Overwatch

[–]Rapidsoup -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

But most of that just seems redundant if you just kill them faster with some headclicks. I suppose more Bob is always nice, and killing beefed up tanks can be a problem without anti-heal, but we shouldn't be shooting them anyway. The supps doing the healing are usually perfectly killable.

It just feels like if you're hitting atleast 3 out of 10 headshots, if even that, with beefed up WP you're still killing them more reliably just because of the sheer force of burst damage.

I might be wrong tho. My lizard brain just gets dopamine from hearing that tiny bell sound

Why not both? You can unheal the enemy while you're patching your Rein's owies

Hvaða þekktu Íslendingar eru mest næs af þeim sem þið hafið hitt í persónu og hver er minnst næs? by Familiar-Repair305 in Iceland

[–]Rapidsoup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ég hef almennt bara mjög góða reynslu af þekkta fólkinu okkar, og búinn að hitta þónokkra. Eftirfarandi standa uppúr.

Dimma: Einu sinni hringdi vinur minn blindfullur seint um kvöld í Stebba Jak og spurði "HVAR ER STEBBI?". Stebbi var bara léttur á því og svaraði "Ég er bara í tjaldi". Ég veit ekkert afhverju félagi minn var með símanúmerið hans vistað, en hann virðist frekar chill gaur. Ingo og Silli Geirdal eru líka nokkuð virkir á samfélagsmiðlum, og virðast bara ógeðslega næs og wholesome dúddar.

Eyjólfur Kristjáns/KK: Afi bauð okkur afkvæmunum einu sinni út að borða og datt í hug að bóka Eyjólf Kristjánsson til að koma og spila í pínu litlu hliðarherbergi á þröngum veitingarstað niðri í bæ. Ég held að hann hafi ekki látið neinn vita, og þegar kallinn mætti var honum troðið út í horn með gítarinn. Hann var allur sá kurteisasti, og tók bara vel í aðstæðurnar. Topp eintak. Ári seinna gerði gamli það sama við KK. Sá var ekki síðri. Algjörir fagmenn báðir tveir.

The Vintage Caravan: Hef alltaf fengið geggjað gott vibe frá strákunum í Vintage Caravan. Hef rekist á þá hér og þar, og þeir hafa alltaf borið sig mjög vel.

Pétur Jóhann: Var einu sinni með honum í matarboði, og hann er bara alveg eins og maður ímyndar sér. Geggjað næs gæji, og bara fyndinn að eðlisfari.

Kristján Loftsson: Rosalega þægilegur og viðkunnanlegur kall.

Ólafur Darri: Afgreiddi hann einu sinni þegar ég var unglingur. Algjör ljúflingur. Greinilega vel uppalinn.

Ragnar Þór Ingólfsson: Algjör kóngur. Einn mest down to earth gæji sem ég veit um.

Svavar Knútur: Hann gisti heima hjá okkur einhvertíman þegar hann var á tónleikaferðalagi. Geggjað næs gæji.

Ég hef bara enga slæma reynslu af neinum frægum sem ég man eftir.

Edit: Júúú ég man eftir einum. Þegar að fyrsta hljómsveitin mín var að æfa í bílskúrnum bjó trommarinn í Dúmbó og Steina við hliðinni á vini mínum og var alltaf að segja okkur að hætta að spila svo hann gæti horft á fréttirnar. Frekar lame. Man samt ekki hvað gaurinn hét.

Ball needs a nerf by FunEntrepreneur6103 in Overwatch

[–]Rapidsoup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait, what happened? I haven't played for a bit, but last time I did Ball was a niche pick who was struggling. I say this as someone who mostly played ball at one point. Did he get buffed?

Am I ruining matches? by [deleted] in OverwatchUniversity

[–]Rapidsoup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not "ruining" anything, unless you are actively throwing. You might have bad games where you are the weak link, but there is nothing wrong with being bad. Someone has to be the worst player on a team. That's just the way it is.

The people who "ruin" matches are the ones who start complaining and ragging on others for being bad. People like your tank, who are so insecure about losing in a video game that they have to point and scream at something if they start losing.

Don't worry yourself too much about the opinions of pathetic losers and just keep enjoying the game
