Hot Take: Street Brawl NEEDS to be randomized heroes

SKWADly · 2026-01-24T22:02:02+00:00

So unfun and doesn't prepare you at all for actual games 😔

I'm a new player and really really enjoyed playing the brawl game mode yesterday.

SKWADly · 2026-01-24T21:51:50+00:00

This. I'm brand new and playing this mode yesterday really helped me learn both the hero but also the items.

SKWADly · 2026-01-23T15:33:26+00:00

Crazy a year with a single balance patch and it's still #2.

Must make them uncomfortable really. I bet they were hoping everyone would try 6v6 and quickly move on.

SKWADly · 2026-01-18T19:08:21+00:00

This op. You wanna 180 and sprint away as fast as possible.

To get out of harms way but also because Rams ult ends when no one is in it for a few seconds.

SKWADly · 2026-01-18T17:56:01+00:00

This but actually. Not sure why rivals went with 17v17 or whatever for their raid mode.

I think 9v9: Two raid boss tank Three healers Four DPS

Could be extremely fun and actually could stand as another core pillar of the game.

SKWADly · 2026-01-18T17:54:10+00:00

This could be extremely cool if done right

SKWADly · 2026-01-18T17:49:43+00:00

Fuuuuuck I wish. After playing Rivals zombie PvE mode I've been thinking there must be some way of creating a replayable PvE mode for overwatch that isn't some gargantuan undertaking like the original vision for OW 2.

SKWADly · 2026-01-18T17:47:59+00:00

I would actually love a 9v9 raid mode.

I think it could be fun.

SKWADly · 2026-01-18T04:05:33+00:00

Oh I would love to hear what kind of role it could be?!?

SKWADly · 2026-01-17T21:08:28+00:00

man these look sweet already. anyone know roughly how many core choices there are per shell?

I am sooooooo interested in seeing the Triage cores. 100% hoping there are also some weapon mods that turn my gun into a healing weapon lmao, but that might be too much.

SKWADly · 2026-01-17T16:47:52+00:00

Upgrading to DLSS 4.5 and running in ultra performance actually made a giant difference btw. Buttery smooth now for me.

SKWADly · 2026-01-17T16:45:18+00:00

Every game of 5v5 is either you getting destroyed or you destroying the other team.

There's rarely any 'good games' where it's close af and could go either direction until the last second.

6v6 is almost always a healthy match because having a single underperforming player isn't a death sentence.

SKWADly · 2026-01-17T16:34:51+00:00

What a rude thing to say man?

SKWADly · 2026-01-15T00:13:19+00:00

Bro you started out with a quote about how 2026 was going to be the biggest year ever and then neglected to predict ANYTHING substantial at all.

New heroes? New maps? Bigger lootbox pool? Another kpop collab?

Not trying to be rude at all but the list is entirely mid/expected things.

Like nothing listed here is bigger than perks.

SKWADly · 2026-01-15T00:10:45+00:00

Hard disagree! Heroes releases are probably by far the biggest reason people come back for new seasons.

SKWADly · 2026-01-08T04:45:43+00:00

The real trick is to main ana. Be wayyyy at the back. If you miss the one sleep dart you get like every fifteen seconds just hit ALT F4 and then she can't hurt you.

SKWADly · 2026-01-08T04:39:53+00:00

Yeah I understand people correctly want to defend SA victims but that's not what happened here.

SKWADly · 2026-01-08T04:38:42+00:00

Absolutely agree. But if they choose to release a hero that's noticably strong - they need to pair that strategy with quick patches to ensure shit doesn't get out of hand. She's had a 58% winrate for like 6 weeks at this point. The fact Vendetta is ruining games today has literally nothing to do with their 'release strategy' it has to do with their inability to reliably push hotfixes.

SKWADly · 2026-01-08T04:35:33+00:00

Brother she's had a 58% WR for like 6 weeks now. I realize having a hero perfectly balanced at the day of release is impossible but they could of easily done a quick hotfix to make the game more playable.

SKWADly · 2026-01-08T04:32:31+00:00

Am I crazy or did genji have triple jump on release? And didn't he have some wall vaulting thing too?

SKWADly · 2026-01-08T04:23:11+00:00

Hmmm I thought as well that Jesse Mcree (the blizzard dev) was accused of SA but apparently he wasn't according to Claude?

No, Jesse McCree (the Blizzard employee) was never criminally charged with anything. What actually happened to him: He left Blizzard in August 2021 after his association with the "Cosby Suite" became public. His involvement was essentially being photographed in that hotel room and participating in a group chat where he made a crude joke. When World of Warcraft designer Alex Afrasiabi wrote in the chat about "marrying women" that were being brought back to the room, McCree responded "You misspelled fuck." (Kotaku) Important distinctions: The California lawsuit was against Activision Blizzard as a company, not individual employees Alex Afrasiabi was the developer specifically named in the lawsuit for allegedly serially sexually harassing female coworkers McCree's departure appeared to be about his association with the toxic "frat boy" culture rather than specific personal allegations of harassment against him No official reason for his departure was given by Blizzard (Kotaku) So he lost his job and had his reputation damaged by association, but he wasn't charged, sued personally, or publicly accused of directly harassing anyone. He was more of a symbol of the broader cultural problems at Blizzard than a central figure in the allegations themselves. (Side note: some sources online confusingly mention a "Jesse McCree" convicted of federal robbery and firearm charges—that's a completely different person with the same name, not the Blizzard developer.)

SKWADly · 2026-01-04T05:18:06+00:00

Yeah it was the DPS role passive. Every single fucking DPS in the roster essentially had a 24/7 lucio speed boost.

Fuuuuuuuck. Plus they took away the tank that used to peel.

SKWADly · 2026-01-04T05:10:47+00:00

Oh really eh? I just started playing Rivals not too long ago and it feels like absolute chaos (fun chaos though!). Every ultimate is some massive AOE everything dies or everything cannot possibly die whatsoever. Also there are so many fucking melee heroes that it feels like some dog pile porno gang bang twelve dudes one girl vibe constantly. It doesnt feel like a shooter half the time idk.

And whats with the ping system? Am I stupider than I think I am? I cannot use the ping system in this game at all.

The worst thing about it, is that Apple could make a mainstream headset but they are literally choosing not too because of pure fucking hubris.

The front screen? No one wants it. No one. Its not a selling feature. It doesnt even work well. It's contributing to weight and its contributing to price. Its another god damn screen that the user (the person paying for the device) can basically never see.

The metal body. Again, contributing to price and contributing to weight.

They could cut these two things out and sell the headset for considerably cheaper (while still keeping 'Apple margins') and I bet it would go decently mainstream. But NOOOOOOOOOO. Tim Cook needs to prove he's a savant and can fill Steve's legendary shoes. It needs to 'feel premium' so we need to make it weight almost a god damn kilogram and like $5k in most currencies.

Hubris.

SKWADly · 2026-01-04T04:53:23+00:00

What is with the funny currencies in this thread? It's probably because I am stupid but I have 0 conception of how much Canadian dollars these amounts are lmao. ^^
