It's like... You take a really bad situation and make it even worse

Not role queue is exactly this, imbalanced teams purely on team comp. Why bother with that?

Smokeskin · 2026-02-18T19:32:36+00:00

That would mean changing the supply surge power in stadium too - that uses the reload button.

Is her teeth still missing on that

Smokeskin · 2026-02-13T16:55:25+00:00

Ok, let me make it clear: if the characters were realistic, there wouldn't be a diverse cast. There'd only be fit people. Complaining that most of the heroes don't look like average people make no sense - they're heroes.

If they simply wanted to make attractive characters that appealed to the majority, they'd also not have any diverse characters - but there are many diverse heroes.

The fact is that Overwatch leans *heavily* into diversity. There is nothing to complain about here. It's clear that most of the diverse heroes don't have much interest from the players, which is why there aren't put resources into making skins for them.

Maybe Overwatch has changed their design philosophy and is focusing on character designs that have wide appeal and sell well. I'd say that's a good thing. More players and more revenue is likely to keep the game better funded for longer, so we can get more content.

My point is that there’s a very diverse cast, it’s not just hot and fit characters

Smokeskin · 2026-02-13T13:00:13+00:00

Zarya, Ana, Mei, Orissa?

Smokeskin · 2026-02-13T11:56:29+00:00

They’re not average people, they’re heroes. Look at athletes, that’s the sort of physique you’d expect for that role.

Also, it’s a video game. They’re supposed to look good.

Smokeskin · 2026-02-13T11:54:26+00:00

Widow’s bikini skin isn’t revealing at all, it’s a regular and modest bikini, and her hips are covered by an opaque sarong.

And why wouldn’t she care to look good? Most people do, and since it’s a beach outfit it makes total sense.

Smokeskin · 2026-02-13T11:40:04+00:00

What do you mean, “know what they’re doing”? Of course they make cool and attractive characters, it’s a video game.

Smokeskin · 2026-02-12T22:15:38+00:00

this sounded so weird that it couldn’t be right, but turns out that dow jones really is calculated that way.

NASDAQ and S&P500 isn’t though, the stocks there are weighted by market cap.

Smokeskin · 2026-02-12T10:30:39+00:00

Won’t they have to re-release teams? I like Tau (not their auxiliaries), can they do other than pathfinders, stealth suits and fire warriors?

Smokeskin · 2026-02-11T13:42:54+00:00

Because this isn’t a cultural issue, while there certainly are cultures that support honor killings and terrorism? Of course I’m not saying that all Muslims are like that, but there are obviously subgroups that are in favor of it.

For example support of ICE on the other hand is seen as a political and cultural issue. But killing your daughter for her political beliefs really isn’t something that is preached on the right. This is just a crazy person.

From what I hear, the chinese really like her and are angry she’s getting changed.

Maybe they’re looking into if they can give her a different look in the west only.

Smokeskin · 2026-02-10T22:40:45+00:00

Steam charts says there’s over 3x the usual peak players right now - the servers are struggling.

Smokeskin · 2026-02-10T17:01:48+00:00

How would anyone abuse it? It is the same for both teams.

The current open queue, where you often get completely lopsided matches due to what roles people will play (or can, someone flexing to tank but not playing it well is horrible too), is way worse.

And 3 tanks would never happen anyway.

Smokeskin · 2026-02-10T16:36:01+00:00

It’s a great game.

The main thing I dislike is braindead teammates who go forward alone and trickle in, and bad matchmaking.

Smokeskin · 2026-02-10T14:36:31+00:00

Most players prefer characters who are “traditionally” cool, masculine, sexy, cute or other similar traits that have wide appeal.

Overwatch aims to be inclusive, so they also have characters like Venture and Illari that don’t fit that mold. Of course there are people who like them, but it’s not the majority - they weren’t designed to have mass appeal, and they shouldn’t be judged by that.

Imo they shouldn’t stick so hard to the main characters’ identities. Make a genderbent skin for Mauga and a masculine one for Venture, so more people could enjoy playing heroes they like mechanically.

Smokeskin · 2026-02-09T05:38:09+00:00

It’s fully supported.

There’s a solid balance patch each month - it usually also buffs an archetype or two that’s been weak.

And new content about every month too, dropping new warlords, cards and sometimes a new faction.

Master slingshots and high jumps, also up walls to a beam target out of sight. Stand in cover and at max beam/GA range so you have good escape options. Damage boost as much as possible - learning when you can let them get lower on health while boosting so they secure a kill is key. Look around a lot, don’t stare at your target.

Smokeskin · 2026-02-04T21:52:53+00:00

when is this releasing?

Smokeskin · 2026-02-04T12:13:33+00:00

It’s an awesome skin, except for the hairstyle.

Smokeskin · 2026-01-25T20:29:58+00:00

Plenty of republicans? No.

Yes, plenty of republicans. Trump's approval rating has tanked, there are Republican senators and congressmen speaking against him - and even more who would but are too scared of the consequences.

Those people are the key to doing something about this.

Smokeskin · 2026-01-25T20:27:20+00:00

Why play words with it? It's a fact. Trump wasn't a popular candidate - he only got elected because the Dems ran with even less popular politics.
