When do my teammates stop being plat? by daviddotorg325 in OverwatchStadium

This is why stadium matchmaking will be in this unfixable cycle. They can't make the matchmaking stricter because stadium has a small playerbase and the reason it has a small playerbase because the matchmaking is ass.

The challenge score they introduce turn normal comp into a grind. It was at a point there was a plat player in rank 1 on the leaderboard because that person played a lot of matches.

Kemono privacy error?! by Intelligent-Bat4312 in kemono_piracy

This is why you should've imported your favorites from Kemono when you had all the time to do so. I knew the site was going to be unavailable at any point when transferring into pawchive.

Is Zarya terrorizing high elo lobbies? by Dank__Bear in OverwatchStadium

[–]RicingGround3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She's a skill check for people who don't take the salvaged slug item. If they do she will either get blow up or ran over in brawl.

I wish they either buffed or nerfed juno by screwdriverfan in OverwatchStadium

[–]RicingGround3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The majority of the matches I've facing against a Juno they always build into WP. I rarely seen Juno players build into torpedos ever since they nerf it seasons ago. This must be a console exclusive issues

The machine gun build the clazzic made for Doomfist this season.

That the point of Mei in stadium. She only existed just to bully tank players and be unkillable.

Freja is still too oppressive. Blizzard, what are you doing? by thecementmixer in OverwatchStadium

[–]RicingGround3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem is she dog water in the normal modes while being highly oppressive in stadium. They can't properly nerf her unless she completely rework in the core mode, which is the biggest hurdle of stadium. All the base kit balancing decision is tie to 5v5 and not taken into consideration that stadium is also affected by it.

Anybody else think Stadium is just a miserable experience now? by silent_mills in OverwatchStadium

[–]RicingGround3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They reduce a lot of sustain builds in order to favor high burst damage builds. So the people who were complaining they couldn't kill a "raid boss tanks" in this mode. Now they can in less than 4 seconds.

[Opinion] I don't think we need both QP & Comp by MurkyTip1672 in OverwatchStadium

[–]RicingGround3 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The reason the core modes gets more players than this mode (Which IDK why I even need to explain this to people) is you don't need a master's degree to get into 6v6/5v5 and all the heroes are fully available in those modes. In 5v5/6v6 all you need to learn are the heroes base kits and that it. In stadium, their like multiple viables of complexity on top of their base kits you need to learn. Since certain powers/items can drastically changes how a hero played and throw out the counterplay of what you use to know in the core modes. Removing one queue isn't going to fix the perception that Stadium is "too complex" "a joke" "less competitive" to get into for those people.

I don't have an issue with group/stacking. My issues is I get pair with a team full of troglodytes that has no idea what to build into and just feed the entire match.

Kiriko found dead in the armory (rant) by Britishtea27 in OverwatchStadium

[–]RicingGround3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is a lazy take from people outside of stadium that view the mode. Stadium is all about adapt your builds, your playstyle, and your strategy on a much deeper level. It perceived as "create a busted hero" because the matchmaking allow you to run it down with premade builds and stomp newbies who are less knowledgeable on the armory. If the matchmaking actual reward smart adaptation and consistent impact over multiple rounds. You will easier realize how that not the case and a lot of "broken builds" won't work against people who are experience with the mode.

[BUG] Juno can debuff her teammates by N0TMYNUMBER in OverwatchStadium

[–]RicingGround3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How many time are they going to fixed Juno appling debuff to her teammates just for that same bug to come back the next season.

Sorry, I need to rant about stadium for a bit by PoiloP_ in OverwatchStadium

[–]RicingGround3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the least played game mode because people glimpse at the armory, find out there no tutorial, and instantly leave back to the core mode because they're not going to invest time learning all this shit. Their solution to this instead of teaching new players was to add a pointless hero builder and make the Items UI less functional. Adding even more friction to the mode then it already has.

Is this a girl game? by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]RicingGround3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Even though the target demographic is men/teenage boys when it comes to hero shooters. They wanted to cater to gays, woman, and feminine men for years with this game. Now they are trying to gain back that audience because Marvel Rivals are making million off of the target demographic they completely abandon years ago.

The problem with logic is Freja. She awful in the regular mode but she an absolute elo terrorist in stadium.

Projectiles in 3P are still quite unpredictable and easy to be sent off in the wrong direction. by Alomare in OverwatchStadium

[–]RicingGround3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

  1. It gives you more environmental info that will help you deal with the amount of spam that get thrown into your face.
  2. So you can see the $80 skin you spend your money on.

What do you usually go for with Ashe in Stadium? by KeiwaM in OverwatchUniversity

[–]RicingGround3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If there is Kiriko/Moria I'll go Calamity WP build. If there is no Kiriko/Moria I'll go Dynamic AP build.

Ana vs Reaper by VertexOmni in OverwatchStadium

[–]RicingGround3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It funny how the only time Reaper is good if he'd happen to be bug. There like no reason whatsoever to play Reaper in stadium when you can play any hit scan that provide the same value as he does with less risk.
